Daily life of female supporting actresses in the 1970s

Jiang Yanqiu hadn't seen Li Anan for a long time and was quite worried. Fortunately, Li's mother said that she was studying in the school library.

Three days after Jiang Yanqiu started working, Aunt Lai finally discovered that she was at work and waited there early in the morning.

When Jiang Yanqiu came out, he couldn't wait to ask, "Xiao Jiang, are you working? Where do you work? Was it found by your family or arranged by the Youth League Office?"

Jiang Yanqiu replied with a smile: "The Youth League Office arranged for me to be an apprentice at a traditional Chinese medicine clinic. If you are sick, you can come to me and I will examine you."

Aunt Lai's face turned dark instantly and she went back to the house angrily. A coughing sound was heard in the yard.

Tian Mi ran out and walked with Jiang Yanqiu, saying with a smile: "It seems that Aunt Lai has set her sights on you, but she doesn't dare to get close to you."

Jiang Yanqiu also laughed and said, "I just like the way she can't stand me but can't get rid of me."

Tian Miman also smiled and said, "There are so many people in this courtyard who don't like me, but they can't do anything to me. I've observed these past two days that several families in this courtyard rent a house but live in several rooms. Uncle Liu's family rented a wing room and an ear room, so they live in five rooms."

Jiang Yanqiu warned: "The street office doesn't care, why do you care so much? Be careful that someone will put you in a sack."

Tian Mi flatly denied it, saying, "I don't intend to intervene. I just feel that some city people are even more shameless than us country people. Country people feel ashamed of taking other people's things, but they don't have the right to do so."

Jiang Yanqiu smiled and said, "The good thing about rural people is that they have their own family business. Most of those who rent houses in the city have nothing when they first come here. If they are not a little arrogant, how can they gain a foothold in the city?"

After hearing this, Tian Mi stopped talking.

On Sunday, Tian Mi wanted to ask Jiang Yanqiu to go out for a walk, but Jiang Yanqiu refused. She wanted to see Jiang Mingzhu and ask Jiang Mingzhu to help her return Yun Yinian's money.

Jiang Yanqiu originally wanted to buy a live chicken to take with her, but even meat was in short supply after the New Year, let alone live poultry.

There was no other way, so she had to take a chicken from the space, kill it and bring it over, and also bring some rice and mountain products, as well as the squid and scallops given by Lin Shaoyang.

When we arrived at Jiang Mingzhu's house, only Jiang Mingzhu and her son were at home.

Seeing this, Jiang Yanqiu said with some concern, "It's winter vacation now, and Lao Qi doesn't have much to do at home. Let him come over to accompany you and let him do all the housework. This way, everyone will feel more at ease when you are alone at home."

As for Jiang Zhenzhu and Jiang Yuzhu, they will probably have to be taken care of by Jiang Mingzhu when they come.

Liu Yunsheng is the second child in the family. Not long after they got married, the Public Security Bureau happened to distribute houses. They were lucky enough to get one and moved out to live on their own, not living with their in-laws.

Liu Yunsheng is a public security officer. He has been very busy lately and often doesn't go home for three days or two.

It is not easy for Jiang Mingzhu to be pregnant with twins alone, and she also has to queue up to buy groceries every day. She is really worried.

Jiang Mingzhu said, "It's okay. My neighbor's wife Han doesn't work and comes to keep me company every day. Your brother-in-law has already made arrangements with her family. Is your work going well?"

Jiang Yanqiu smiled and said, "It went pretty smoothly. My master and his colleagues are very easy to get along with, and the neighbors are also very friendly. I brought a chicken over and will make chicken soup for you first, and then we can chat slowly."

Jiang Mingzhu complained again, "You, I told you to eat it yourself, but you brought it here specially? I can buy it anytime I want."

Jiang Yanqiu said unhappily, "I know you can buy it, but this is a small gift from me to my child, so that's enough."

She didn't dare put anything else in the chicken soup, so she just added some red dates.

But these days, even if you buy chicken from the market, it’s all in its original flavor, and it tastes good even without adding anything else.

Liu Huaijing watched Jiang Yanqiu chopping chickens and followed her like a little tail.

Four-year-olds these days don't have the cleverness of four-year-olds, but they are all pretty sensible.

The little guy followed Jiang Yanqiu closely: "Auntie, is there anything you need my help with?"

Jiang Yanqiu said cheerfully, "You little greedy cat, help Auntie San to eat the chicken legs later."

The little guy said a little embarrassedly: "Thank you, Auntie San, but do you really not need my help?"

Seeing his serious expression, Jiang Yanqiu asked, "What can you do?"

The little guy thought for a moment and said, "I can sweep the floor, but I just swept the floor."

Jiang Yanqiu saw the scraps of paper on the ground and didn't know what to say for a moment.

Jiang Mingzhu said with a smile: "I don't know where he learned this. He keeps asking me to work for him, but he can't even peel garlic."

Jiang Yanqiu smiled and said, "That's great! When the weather gets warmer, you can teach him some things. He'll learn quickly, and you can enjoy happiness sooner!"

Jiang Mingzhu sighed, "I don't know how long I have to wait."

Jiang Yanqiu said, "It will be very fast. If you teach him well, it will take at most ten years. Look how efficient the seventh child is at work. If boys don't learn to do things while they are young, they will forget their mothers when they get married."

The little guy said seriously, "Mom, I will be filial to you from now on and will not marry a wife."

The two adults couldn't help laughing. Jiang Yanqiu teased him, "Xiao Jing'er is really amazing. He knows whether to get married or not at such a young age. But if you don't get married, your mother will cry."

The little guy asked again: "Why is my mother crying if I don't get married?"

"Why don't you ask your mother?" Only then did she remember that children are all curious babies.

Jiang Mingzhu, deeply touched, quickly said, "Your Third Aunt is just teasing you. You can do whatever you want in the future!"

With the child around, Jiang Yanqiu kept teasing him and time passed quickly. Jiang Yanqiu left only after finishing lunch.

Before leaving, Jiang Mingzhu handed the letter written by the two Zhenzhu to Jiang Yanqiu and said with a smile: "If you had left two minutes later that day, you would have run into your second sister! I don't know what secrets you two have. As soon as you left, she came to ask for your address, saying that she wanted to send you a letter. I said I would send a letter to her in two days and would send it together. She also repeatedly warned me not to peek!"

Jiang Yanqiu took the letter, handed Yun Yinian's eight hundred yuan to Jiang Mingzhu, and told her the whole story.

After hearing this, Jiang Mingzhu said nonchalantly: "Just take what she gave you. If it weren't for you, how could she find a job?"

Jiang Yanqiu quickly explained, "It's not easy for my brother and his family either. They'll need money a lot in the future. Even if you don't give her the job, I won't go."

Jiang Mingzhu sighed helplessly and said, "You, what am I going to say to her later?"

Jiang Yanqiu hadn't really thought about this question. Scratching her head, she said, "Just say I sent it to you and you can help her pay it back."

Jiang Mingzhu said with a smile: "Okay, when she comes over later, I will give it to her secretly."

Then he said thoughtfully: "You said that I gave the job to Huai Jing's uncle and accepted money from his grandmother. Isn't that not good?"

Jiang Yanqiu shook her head and said, "What's wrong with that? You have three children to support. Even if you don't give up your job, it's not unacceptable for them to give you some money to help you. Besides, the job was originally yours. The cleaning job for my sister-in-law is just a job opportunity. The rest is up to her."

Jiang Yanqiu thought, the money has been taken, what’s the point of saying all this!

If it were her, she would never do that. Taking money at such a critical moment in the job feels like buying and selling a job, which would give people something to talk about.

Liu's parents hold high positions. If you leave a good impression on them, they will definitely give priority to Jiang Mingzhu's family when there are good opportunities in the future. It will also make her brother-in-law owe them a favor.

As for not accepting the money now, given the character of Liu's parents, they will quietly give the money to them sooner or later.

Jiang Mingzhu stopped talking.
