Daily life of female supporting actresses in the 1970s

Yun Yinian sighed, "That's right, it's normal that Auntie and the others don't like me. I did plot against your eldest brother, but I had no other choice. In 1972, there were 32 female educated youth from Nancheng who went to Xihai to work in the countryside. We were all assigned to the same commune.

When I was plotting against your eldest brother, there were only thirteen left. The remaining eleven were married to local people, and eight were gone. Some died in accidents, some died of illness, and some were forced to die.

I was scared. Whether it was getting married or dying, neither of them was what I wanted. One time, your eldest brother came to our county on a mission, and I pestered him. In fact, your eldest brother's base was more than 600 kilometers away from where I was stationed in the countryside.

Jiang Yanqiu didn't know why she said this, but their unit was too "close" to her.

She didn't want to comment, but she still felt a little uncomfortable when she heard about the plight of the educated youth.

I could only comfort him by saying, "Everyone has their own little thoughts in order to survive and live a better life. As long as these thoughts are not used to harm others, it's not a big deal. Besides, if my brother hadn't met you, he would probably have had a lot of personal problems."

Jiang Kaijie is already 28 years old and is still serving in the army on the northwest border. If I marry him, I can't join the army, and he doesn't have any outstanding qualities.

Only a desperate female educated youth like Yun Yinian would regard him as a life-saving straw. Ordinary girls may not be attracted to him.

It is simply impossible for Lu Yunxia to find a daughter-in-law that suits her.

Jiang Kaijie probably knew all this in his heart, so he acted first and asked for permission later to get the marriage certificate and then come back.

So, it’s hard to say who framed whom, but Yun Yinian is at least a person with plans.

As for Jiang Yanqiu, she had no feelings for the Jiang family, and even had resentment towards them, so she didn't care about their situation.

Even in her previous life, she had a very good relationship with her three brothers, and her three sisters-in-law were all scheming.

As a sister-in-law, she won't say anything as long as it has nothing to do with her.

If you can get along, visit each other often. If you can't get along, don't visit each other. After waiting for half a year, the relationship between your parents will be gone. People only meddle in other people's affairs when they have nothing to do and eat too much.

The two of them were walking slowly, and when they passed by a noodle shop, they saw Jiang Chaojie eating noodles with soybean paste inside. It was not yet time to go home from school.

Jiang Yanqiu suddenly felt that her chance had come, so she rushed in and shouted, "Jiang Chaojie, shouldn't you be in class right now? Why are you here eating noodles?"

Jiang Chaojie lied without hesitation: "I have a labor class this afternoon. I didn't eat enough at noon. I was too hungry to work, so I ran out to eat some noodles."

Jiang Yanqiu sneered and asked, "You're only in the first grade, where did you get the labor class? Do you think I never went to junior high school? Go back and see how Dad will deal with you."

Jiang Chaojie quickly grabbed her and said, "Third sister, I beg you, just keep it a secret this time and never do it again. Can't I treat you to noodles?"

Jiang Yanqiu pressed the issue, "Where did you get the money to buy noodles? Did you embezzle money from grocery shopping?"

Jiang Chaojie was stunned for a moment and said, "No... no, I saved it myself."

Jiang Yanqiu sneered and asked, "You have some private money, but you still need fifty cents to buy ice cream this morning? I saw you eat two donkey hot buns this morning."

Jiang Chaojie didn't say anything. Why was he so unlucky today?

When he bought groceries in the morning, there was no lunch portion for Jiang Yuzhu and Jiang Yanqiu.

Jiang Yanqiu went to see Jiang Mingzhu, so she must have eaten outside or at home, and would not have gone back to eat.

The last time Jiang Yuzhu went on a hunger strike, she didn't eat for a week. This time, after being beaten, she came out to eat in less than a day, and even ate half of his portion.

Fortunately, I still had a lot of money left from buying groceries in the morning, so I skipped class to eat and ran into Jiang Yanqiu again.

Finally, she gritted her teeth and said sincerely, "Then, Third Sister, what exactly do you want in exchange for keeping this secret for me? As long as you don't tell my family, I'll let you do anything."

After all, my second and fourth sisters are like this.

Jiang Yanqiu stopped teasing him and said bluntly, "I've been at home for over a month, so I've handed over my housework to you. When it's your turn to do my housework, I'll treat you to two donkey meat hot buns or a bowl of noodles.

But you can only skip class this once. If you do it again, I won't be able to help you. Tolerating you is harming you. As your sister, I can't do that to you without a clear conscience."

Jiang Chaojie agreed without even thinking, but then he said, "Then Third Sister, can you treat me to another 200g of noodles?"

Jiang Yanqiu asked in surprise: "You haven't eaten enough yet?"

Jiang Chaojie answered honestly: "I'm not full. I didn't cook for Fourth Sister at noon, and she ate half of mine. The money and money I just had were only enough for two taels, which was not enough."

Jiang Yanqiu was also at a loss. She originally wanted to find someone to help with the housework, but she lost two sides at the beginning.

After paying the money, Jiang Yanqiu and Yun Yinian went back early without waiting for Jiang Chaojie.

Yun Yinian smiled and said, "Seventh Brother is still growing, and his appetite is more than twice that of your eldest brother."

"Eating so much, you're not afraid of going to Director Heng."

Jiang Chaojie is less than 1.6 meters tall now. He looks thin and dark. No one knows why he can eat so much. She can't compare to him.

Jiang Yanqiu went back to her room to read medical books, and Jiang Chaojie dawdled until school was over before coming back. He must have done this many times before.

But after he came back, he was quite diligent. He took the initiative to clean the yard and cook. He even refused to let Yun Yinian help. The dishes he cooked tasted pretty good.

While having dinner in the evening, Jiang Chaojie would glance at Jiang Yanqiu from time to time, as if he was afraid that she would go and complain.

The next day, Lu Yunxia wanted to give money to Jiang Yanqiu so that she could buy groceries.

Jiang Chaojie quickly said, "Mom, it's my second sister's turn today. I used to do all her work, and she never took me to the restaurant. If she doesn't cook, you give me some money and I want to go to the restaurant too."

He was so persistent that Lu Yunxia had no choice but to ask Jiang Yuzhu to buy groceries and cook.

Jiang Yuzhu is now in her second year of high school. The school doesn't pay much attention to them and lets them find jobs on their own. Jiang Yuzhu attends classes only occasionally.

After breakfast, Jiang Yanqiu followed Yun Yinian to the guesthouse.

She was staying in the guesthouse of the Ministry of Public Security, which had heating and was very warm!

Yun Yinian went out to look for job openings everywhere. After all, if she didn't have a job, she wouldn't be able to move her household registration back, and she wouldn't be able to buy food supplies. She couldn't keep buying food at high prices.

Either they can’t afford the expensive food, or if they are unlucky enough to get caught, then the result will be more trouble than gain.

Jiang Kaijie was supplied with 45 kilograms of food every month, but he ate it all in the cafeteria. The 45 kilograms of food coupons could be exchanged for 45 kilograms of cooked food.

His training tasks were so heavy that he didn't have any extra food coupons to subsidize Yun Yinian.

Jiang Anhua did have 60 kilograms of food supply, but there was a glutton Jiang Chaojie at home, and the extra food was not enough to subsidize him.

Just get a job as soon as possible and try to transfer your household registration here. Although it is difficult to find a job, it is worth it just in case.

It’s not that Jiang Anhua didn’t want to help, it’s just that it’s too difficult to get a job. A lot of educated youth who went to the countryside wanted to return to the city. He was lucky to have gotten that position before.

It was almost lunchtime when Yun Yinian came back, and the two of them went back to the Jiang family together.

Jiang Zhenzhu had gone somewhere, and Jiang Yuzhu was doing something in the kitchen, making a lot of noise.

Jiang Yanqiu inexplicably thought of Lin Xiaomei. When Jiang Yanqiu and the others just arrived and it was her turn to cook, she got up to make breakfast and was like this, making it impossible for others to sleep in any longer.
