Daily life of female supporting actresses in the 1970s

The weather was nice today, so Jiang Yanqiu didn't take the bus but walked back.

There were big-character posters everywhere along the way, with some good content and some bad. Most of them were about the death of the top leader, and some expressed dissatisfaction with the rebels.

Passing by two trust stores, she went in for a stroll and bought a second-hand 26-inch bicycle in the second store.

Jiang Yanqiu saw the car as soon as the owner sent it for consignment. She bought it without saying a word and spent a total of two hundred and twenty yuan.

This bus is too crowded. Jiang Yanqiu doesn't want to squeeze in even though there are chickens and ducks everywhere, but she can't walk there.

However, after buying the bicycle, Jiang Yanqiu suddenly realized that she didn't know how to ride one.

After returning to her residence, Jiang Yanqiu began to read Jiang Zhenzhu's letter. Now she understood why she didn't let Jiang Mingzhu read it secretly. It was because she was afraid that it would stimulate Jiang Mingzhu to have a premature birth.

In addition to talking about what happened that day, Jiang Zhenzhu also said in the letter that Lu Yunxia particularly hated Jiang Yanqiu asking for money and buying clothes.

Whenever Jiang Yanqiu and money were brought together, Lu Yunxia would become very emotional.

Just after she finished reading the letter, there was a rapid knock on the door. Jiang Yanqiu thought it was Tian Mi, but when she opened the door, she saw the playful Chu Tingnan again.

Jiang Yanqiu was already in a bad mood at the moment. Seeing him like this, her face immediately darkened and she asked unhappily, "Why are you here? If you have something to say, tell me!"

Chu Tingnan seemed to be completely unaware of Jiang Yanqiu's unhappiness, and said with a smile on his face: "I have good news for you!" Then he was about to walk into the yard.

Jiang Yanqiu didn't let him in and replied impatiently, "If you have something to say, just talk about it here! If you don't, I'll close the door!"

Chu Tingnan had no choice but to smile helplessly, shook the bag in his hand, and said, "Mu Tou, it's not convenient to talk here. Let's go into the yard first."

Jiang Yanqiu had no choice but to let him in, but did not close the door!

As soon as Chu Tingnan walked into the yard, he saw the bicycle parked under the window.

Some excitedly said: "You are really amazing, you even have a phoenix-shaped bicycle!"

Jiang Yanqiu explained, "This is a second-hand bicycle I just bought from the trust. It cost me two hundred and twenty yuan!"

Chu Tingnan came forward, looked left and right, tried to pedal a few times, and then walked around the car again.

Finally, he stopped and smacked his lips. "Two hundred and twenty bucks for a bike like this? You're really getting a steal! But... I don't recommend riding it out. Otherwise, there's probably going to be a lot of thieves planning on your yard."

Hearing this, Jiang Yanqiu asked suspiciously, "Is it really that exaggerated? It's just a rare bicycle, is it really that serious?"

Chu Tingnan said to her seriously, "You are so lucky to be able to buy this! This is a pure imported Phoenix-head bicycle, and it was imported in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China. It is rare to see one that is maintained so well like you.

"A lot of people like Phoenix-shaped bicycles these days, and the prices on the black market are sky-high, especially for imported ones. People are scrambling to buy them for 500 or 600 yuan, or even higher. As a result, many people have emerged who specialize in stealing Phoenix-shaped bicycles. So, you have to be careful."

Jiang Yanqiu couldn't help but sigh after hearing this: "I just wanted to buy a bicycle to make it easier to ride, but now I bought it and not only do I not know how to ride it, I'm even afraid to ride it outside!"

Chu Tingnan was amused and said, "If you're just using it for transportation, there's really no need to ride it out, lest you get into trouble. But you don't know how to ride a bike, so I can teach you for free later. My riding skills are top-notch."

Jiang Yanqiu rolled her eyes in annoyance and said, "Stop talking nonsense! Hurry up! If you dawdle any longer, I'll really kick you out."

Seeing this, Chu Tingnan quickly put away his smile and glanced outside the door. After confirming that no one was there, he lowered his voice and said:

"I had someone appraise it. The piece of wood you found the other day is no ordinary piece. It's super rare white agarwood! Much more valuable than gold! I specially picked off a small piece weighing about half a pound to check it out, and they gave me a full two thousand yuan without even saying a word!"

Jiang Yanqiu's eyes widened, her face filled with disbelief, and she exclaimed in surprise, "So expensive?"

Jiang Yanqiu thought to herself that Chu Tingnan looked unreliable, but she didn't expect him to be so righteous.

That piece of wood weighs four or five pounds, and according to the price, it should be worth twenty or thirty thousand. He actually didn't keep it for himself, but told me directly.

If it were someone else, if she didn't know the value of the item, they might give her some money, but they would definitely not tell her the truth.

Chu Tingnan explained to Jiang Yanqiu earnestly, "That's right. It's more valuable than gold. It's called white agarwood, the finest of the finest agarwood. In ancient times, it was called agar. Usually, in a large piece of fine agarwood, only a small part can be considered agarwood. It's very, very precious."

I still have that fallen sawdust I pried off earlier, how about we try it out?"

Jiang Yanqiu also wanted to see it, so she agreed without hesitation and said, "Okay."

Chu Tingnan was obviously prepared. He took out a small piece of toothpaste tube and a small clip from his pocket, and then took out a paper bag from his bag. After opening it, he poured sawdust on the toothpaste tube.

Then he asked Jiang Yanqiu to find a candle, and put the toothpaste tube with a clip on the candle to heat it.

After a while, a rich frankincense wafted out with the hot air. It was relatively light at first, and then became stronger and stronger. The sweet smell could almost penetrate into the bones.

As soon as this fragrance enters your nose, it feels like having a piece of White Rabbit milk candy in your mouth. It is even sweeter and purer than that candy, but not greasy at all.

Jiang Yanqiu's irritable mood caused by Lu Yunxia's matter suddenly calmed down.

After a long while, Chu Tingnan stopped heating and asked softly, "How does it feel?"

Jiang Yanqiu really wanted to curse: "These ancient people really knew how to enjoy themselves!"

But she was silent for a moment, then said with envy, "I've really learned a lot. No wonder agarwood is so expensive. Such a fine thing is probably going to be cut down and become extinct. But the rich people in the past really knew how to enjoy themselves!"

Chu Tingnan nodded repeatedly, agreeing deeply: "Yes, it is estimated that the original owner hid it on the roof and did not take it away. Now the urban construction team took it back as waste wood when renovating the house.

But this thing can't be sold at a high price now. It's probably because there is no market for it. It's not cost-effective to sell it, so it's better to keep it for yourself.

I broke off a small piece and gave it to someone for identification, falsely claiming it was the only one I had. But if you look closely, you can still see some clues. I was afraid those people would target me because of this, so I kept it for a few days before returning it to you."

Jiang Yanqiu heard this and quickly waved her hands: "No, no, this is yours! I was embarrassed to accept the firewood you gave me, how can I take this?"

There was no trace of embarrassment on her face; she really felt embarrassed.

Chu Tingnan shook his head firmly and explained seriously, "If you hadn't discovered it, it would have turned to ashes long ago if it were someone else. I just know a little more than you, so this thing should belong to you."

Seeing the other party's sincerity, Jiang Yanqiu had no choice but to say, "Then let's not argue about it. Whoever sees it gets a share. Let's just split it equally.

Just leave the things with me first. I will keep them safe and no one will find them. You can take your half anytime you want."

Chu Tingnan readily agreed: "Okay! No problem!"

As he spoke, he took out a wad of banknotes from his inner bag, counted out ten "Great Unity" notes and handed them to Jiang Yanqiu: "I sold those for a total of two thousand yuan. This is the one thousand that belongs to you."

Jiang Yanqiu didn't hesitate at all and accepted the money generously.

Chu Tingnan then handed Bai Qinan to Jiang Yanqiu, and reminded her: "If someone accidentally spots you one day, just let your things go. Don't put yourself in danger. Your own safety is the most important thing!"

"You know, I value my life the most!"

The possibility of being targeted should be small. I am hiding in the space, and it depends on how you find me.

Jiang Yanqiu took it and looked at it carefully. She squeezed it and found it was a little elastic. Apart from being ugly, she didn't see anything special about it.
