Daily life of female supporting actresses in the 1970s

The day before New Year's Day, Yun Yinian came back when it was almost dark. It was snowing outside and she was covered in snow.

On the way back to Jiang's house, Jiang Yanqiu asked, "Sister-in-law, have you graduated from high school?"

Yun Yinian sighed and said, "I've graduated, but what's the point? No one is hiring."

After returning, Jiang Yanqiu handed Yun Yinian the job application form given by Wen's mother and said, "I did someone a favor on the train earlier. They gave me this job. It's a civilian job at the pharmaceutical factory. You have to go before 9 o'clock on the 2nd. The requirement is that you are a high school graduate who has been sent to the countryside. I don't know the specific conditions. From now on, you can only rely on yourself. And don't tell anyone else."

Yun Yinian didn't answer, but instead said, "This is a good opportunity to go back to the city, but why don't you go?"

"I graduated from junior high school."

Yun Yinian didn't know what to say for a moment. She had just thought that Jiang Yanqiu was giving her the chance to return to the city, and she felt bad about it.

Now it seems that Jiang Yanqiu really resents the Jiang family, otherwise she wouldn't have watched her go out early and come back late in the cold weather to look for a job.

She didn't say a word when she had such a good opportunity. I guess she never intended to give it to her.

Jiang Yanqiu had indeed not planned to give it to Yun Yinian before. It should be said that she had originally intended to waste this quota to avoid meeting Wen Chang again in the future and thinking that she was helping her for the sake of benefits.

But then he thought again, he had helped her twice and helped her identify her toxic best friend, but she still misunderstood him. What if they met again? It would be a waste if he didn't take it, so he gave it to Yun Yinian.

Jiang Kaijie was very nice to both the original owner and her, and he didn't do anything to let her down. He just considered it as a way of repaying the favor of sending him supplies over the past two years.

She also saw many shadows of educated youth in Yun Yinian, and her heart softened when she thought of the original owner's previous isolation and helplessness.

Yun Yinian hesitated for a moment and finally told Jiang Kaijie, and also expressed her thoughts.

After listening to this, Jiang Kaijie said, "It's normal for her to feel resentful. She originally had a job and had been working for a month before her mother asked her to give it to the fourth child. The fourth child signed up for the rural program on a whim, and since he didn't want to go, she let the fifth child go.

"Lao Wu suffered a lot in the countryside and endured a lot of hardships. At her thinnest, she weighed less than 80 kilograms. Although the Northeast is better than your place, it's still winter for half a year. How could a little girl endure that? Only she knows. It would be abnormal if she didn't have any resentment."

"Then I'll give her some money to support her." Apart from giving money, she didn't know what else to give.

Jiang Kaijie agreed, "You keep it. I'll give it to her when she's ready to leave."

Yun Yinian laughed out loud: "After we get married, what's yours will be mine!"

"This is my attitude towards you." Although he was entangled by Yun Yinian, it was a consensual thing.

The next day, Yun Yinian was retained without any suspense. She was already selected after picking up the registration form. She was passed after just a few simple questions. It was just a formality.

Jiang Yanqiu’s first reaction was that this couldn’t be something the Wen family prepared for Wen Chang, otherwise how could it be so easy.

However, looking at the Wen family's style, it doesn't seem like they would arrange for Wen Chang to work in the factory, and the pharmaceutical factory is not a big one.

But never mind, it’s impossible to go back now.

The Jiang family was quite surprised to hear that Yun Yinian had found a job.

Jiang Yuzhu said unhappily, "You didn't even tell your family about this great job opportunity. My second sister doesn't have a job either. Are you afraid she'll snatch it from you?"

Yun Yinian said calmly, "I just happened to run into him. Besides, the factory requires high school graduates who have been working in the countryside for more than two years."

Yun Yinian really dislikes her sister-in-law. She always wants to give her orders and take advantage of her.

It would be better if she just hated her and ignored her like Jiang Zhenzhu did, but Jiang Yuzhu was spineless.

Jiang Anhua took every opportunity to lecture Jiang Yuzhu: "See? University admissions require two years of practical experience, and many factories recruit workers who are educated youth who went to the countryside. If you don't work hard to get a job at the school, then you should just go to the countryside."

Jiang Yuzhu remained silent.

Jiang Anhua continued, "The key is to study hard. Knowledge is the most important thing. The recruitment quotas allocated to schools are given to students with good grades. Also, many factories are now running their own universities because they need intellectuals."

"Sixth and seventh children, you two are still in school, so you must cherish the learning opportunities you have now. We didn't have the chance to study before, and you have such good conditions, but you just play all day long."

Jiang Yuzhu still didn't say anything. Jiang Chaojie said nonchalantly, "We keep the same content in class every day. I can remember everything the teacher says."

Jiang Anhua asked with a dark face, "History, math, physics, and chemistry too? Then I'll test you later!"

Jiang Chaojie immediately fell silent.

After the work was done, Yun Yinian breathed a sigh of relief, but the only downside was that the pharmaceutical factory was seven or eight kilometers away from the Jiang family, and there was no direct bus, so she had to take a bus.

There are no beds in the dormitory, and it is too cold to ride a bicycle in the winter, so I can only take the bus.

But the household registration problem was finally solved, and I can receive food supplies in the future.

It’s not that we can’t afford the expensive food, but I’m afraid we won’t be able to afford it after a long time.

When they were going to bed at night, Jiang Zhenzhu suddenly said to Jiang Yanqiu, "Lao Wu, can you help me arrange a blind date tomorrow at noon?"

Jiang Yanqiu asked curiously, "You're almost 26, not young anymore, why don't you go on a blind date yourself?"

Jiang Zhenzhu said somewhat unhappily, "I'm only twenty-five in March, how can I be twenty-six?"

No matter what era, age is always a disadvantage for older unmarried lesbians.

Jiang Yanqiu didn't argue with her about this issue, and asked instead: "Is this what I'm talking about? Why don't you go on a blind date yourself? Could it be that you have someone in your heart?"

Jiang Zhenzhu felt a little guilty and said in a panic, "What nonsense are you talking about? It's just that the person my mother introduced to me is not very reliable. He has a good family background, a good job, is tall, and has delicate features. I'm a short, unemployed person. How could he be interested in me? If I go, wouldn't I be asking for trouble?"

Jiang Yanqiu also asked: "Then why did you ask me to go? Why not ask Lao Liu to go? I guess she would be so happy."

Jiang Yuzhu doesn't want to work hard now and wants to take a shortcut to stay in the city. She will definitely be happy with the blind date.

Jiang Zhenzhu quickly shook her head: "That won't work. They require a high school diploma, and Lao Liu is good-looking. If he gets picked and brought back, I'd be so embarrassed."

Jiang Yanqiu didn't know what to do for a moment. It turned out that this man not only had an inferiority complex, but also despised her presence.

But Jiang Yuzhu is really good-looking. She has been well-fed since she was a child. She is probably almost 1.7 meters tall and has a plump figure.

Her face is like Lu Yunxia's, an apple face, which is the type of daughter-in-law that mothers-in-law like these days.

Being despised, Jiang Yanqiu said angrily, "They say good things should be kept within the family, but you're just thinking about how your sisters are living worse off than you. What good can you do for me if I go?"

You despise her and make her a cannon fodder? No way!
