Daily life of female supporting actresses in the 1970s

Although everyone's attention was attracted by the one hundred yuan, the atmosphere in the Jiang family was still very depressing. Even the naughty Jiang Chaojie became much more obedient.

After waking up, Lu Yunxia acted as if nothing had happened and was still indifferent to Jiang Yanqiu, as if what had happened before had never happened.

Jiang Anhua's eye bags became bigger and he looked more aged.

From then on, Jiang Yanqiu wore a hat at home every day, for fear that Lu Yunxia would be provoked to have an attack again one day. If the other party had a knife in her hand, she would really stab her with it.

When Lu Yunxia gets mad, she's very strong, and it's hard to defend against her. It would be a shame if she got stabbed.

She wanted to leave immediately, but she was afraid that it would be difficult to explain if someone asked her. Secondly, she also wanted to know the answer.

She no longer went to the restaurant to eat with everyone, but ate at home. Jiang Chaojie still had some conscience and would pack a meal for Jiang Yanqiu and send it to her in advance for every meal.

Jiang Yanqiu thought about going to Jiang Anhua's house to look for clues when no one was around.

But the lock on their room was an old copper lock, and Jiang Yanqiu couldn't open it without the key.

On New Year's Eve, Jiang Kaijie did not come back to celebrate the New Year, so Jiang Anhua asked Yun Yinian to stop cooking and celebrate the New Year with them.

Jiang Anhua didn't say anything about Jiang Shaojie, but when the meal started, Jiang Shaojie and Wang Weiwei came over with a big bowl of braised pork, but there was less meat and more potatoes in it.

Lu Yunxia and Jiang Anhua didn't say anything. It was New Year's Day and it would not look good to make a fuss. They didn't really intend to sever ties with Shao Jie.

This made Wang Weiwei see their plan and she felt that what her mother said was right, which made her more confident.

As soon as they started eating, Wang Weiwei said, "Lao Wu, do you remember the child you saved before?"

Everyone was silent and looked at Wang Weiwei, wondering why she suddenly brought up this matter when it had happened so long ago?

Wang Weiwei didn't care about what others thought and continued, "That kid's grandfather is the deputy director of the Post and Telecommunications Bureau. It's just right for you to go to their house during the New Year to pay your respects and give them some gifts. Then you can ask them to help your second brother find a job with a higher salary."

The tone was as if he was directly ordering Jiang Yanqiu to cook, rather than asking someone to do something.

Jiang Anhua's expression changed instantly, and Lu Yunxia's expression didn't look much better either.

But Wang Weiwei was still talking to herself, "It would be best if I could be transferred to the post office headquarters, closer to home. My previous job was tiring, low-paying, and far from home. I also had to spend three dollars and fifty cents a month on a bus pass to commute to get off work. Three dollars and fifty cents was enough to buy one person's rations."

"My second brother will have to support three people in the future, and her salary is not enough. Even if you don't feel sorry for my second brother, you should at least feel sorry for your little nephew."

Jiang Yanqiu didn't say anything, just stared at Wang Weiwei, wondering if Wang Weiwei had a brain problem or was suffering from delusions, but she was too stupid to tell.

Jiang Shaojie kept silent, probably because he had discussed it with Wang Weiwei.

Seeing that no one was talking, Wang Weiwei still felt that what she said made sense, and she started complaining again: "I think that family is really stingy. You have such great power, and you saved their eldest grandson's life, but they arranged such a job for you. Their grandson's life is so worthless."

Jiang Anhua was so angry that he slammed the table and yelled, "Get out!"

What kind of crappy job? It's the Telephone Department's Technical Section at the Post and Telecommunications Bureau, a place many people desperately want to get into.

If there is a problem with the phone in any unit, you have to humbly ask them to handle it. You blame your work for your lack of progress.

The key point is that he had already repaid the favor with his work, and asked the street to award Jiang Yanqiu a reward for his bravery, just to avoid owing Jiang Yanqiu a favor.

In order to avoid being taken advantage of by the Jiang family, Wang Weiwei came up with this idea as soon as she entered the door.

Neither Wang Weiwei nor Jiang Shaojie expected that Jiang Anhua would lose his temper during the New Year. Both of them stood there in a daze for a long time without saying a word.

Jiang Anhua said again: "Get out of here! Don't provoke me to get violent on New Year's Day."

Wang Weiwei still refused to give up and said, "Dad, I'm doing this for Shaojie and the child's sake."

Jiang Anhua calmed down and said, "Ask your sister-in-law how much she earns a month."

Yun Yinian quickly replied, "I'm the publicity officer at the pharmaceutical factory. I'm a level 12 clerk and earn a level 30 administrative salary, which is 23 yuan a month."

Jiang Anhua pointed his finger at Jiang Shaojie's nose and scolded him, "Hear that? You were paid 27.5 yuan when you first joined the Post and Telecommunications Bureau. You've been working there for more than two years, and your salary is still the same. Think about it, what's the problem?"

How far is your workplace? Is it as far as your sister-in-law's? She works in the suburbs and doesn't complain. You can't even handle this little hardship. You might as well quit living.

Also, how many high school students are there in your department? Aren't they all technical secondary school and university students? How dare you complain about your bad job? You don't work hard, but you blame the job. If you have the ability, find a better job than this before you brag.

After saying that, Jiang Anhua turned to Wang Weiwei and said, "You're so capable, why don't you arrange for Jiang Shaojie to be a director? Have him return this 'crappy job' to Lao Wu, who's still working hard in the countryside farming."

Jiang Shaojie went out without saying a word. Wang Weiwei glared at Jiang Yanqiu fiercely, then followed him away. After a few steps, she came back and took away their bowl of braised pork.

Lu Yunxia watched Wang Weiwei's actions and Jiang Shaojie's matter-of-fact look.

I secretly regretted it in my heart. If I had known earlier, I would have asked Wang Weiwei to report Jiang Shaojie. It would be better to be locked up than to embarrass himself here. What a big deal.

This little episode during the New Year was impossible. It was like a breeze that disappeared after it blew away, and no one took it to heart.

The next day, Jiang Yanqiu went to pay New Year's greetings to Sun Yufang and Mr. Wang again. When she came back, the gate of the yard was locked.

Aunt Ma came out of the house and said, "Qiu girl, your father has gone back to work overtime, your mother and the others are out, and your seventh child just came back and went out again. Come over to my place and warm yourself by the fire while waiting for them."

"Thank you, aunt."

The two started chatting. Aunt Ma's children had already started their own families. Because of the contributions left by her husband, her son was arranged to work in the arsenal and was allocated a one-bedroom apartment.

Originally, they wanted to take her to live in their old age home, but she felt uncomfortable living in the tube-shaped building.

I was also worried that it would affect the relationship between my son and daughter-in-law. There was nothing to do there, so I didn't move out and continued to live here. I've gotten used to it and I have many acquaintances here.

The two chatted for a while before Jiang Yanqiu asked, "Auntie, do you know why my parents don't like me?"

Aunt Ma hesitated for a moment and said, "It's not that they don't like your mother. It's that your mother has experienced some trauma in the past, and her personality has become a little extreme. You have many brothers and sisters, and she can't take care of so many people. It's normal that she sometimes doesn't notice your emotions."

Jiang Yanqiu felt that Aunt Ma seemed to know something, but since she didn't say anything, she didn't want to ask any further, so she continued chatting about other things.
