Daily life of female supporting actresses in the 1970s

After she went into the inner room and put the things into the space, Chu Tingnan said, "You were not here this morning, so I bought a lamb and brought it to Zeng Hua's house to cook for everyone. I have already called your friends, and they are all there now, except you."

Jiang Yanqiu sighed after hearing this and said, "When will this meal end for you guys, with all the invitations coming and going?"

We met three times a week.

Chu Tingnan explained: "It just so happened that I met someone selling live sheep."

Jiang Yanqiu asked curiously, "Why don't you do it at home?"

Chu Tingnan replied calmly, "The courtyards we live in are too close to each other, and there are so many people there. If we move around too frequently, it will inevitably attract rumors and cause unnecessary trouble. Zeng Hua's house is more convenient."

Jiang Yanqiu nodded, indicating that she understood. This is how a slum is.

Then he asked, "Should I bring something with me?"

Chu Tingnan quickly waved his hand and said with a smile: "No need to bring anything. They all brought their own food, and I guess they can't finish it all."

Aunt Lai was chatting with Ye's mother at the west wing's door. When she saw Chu Tingnan and Jiang Yanqiu leaving, Aunt Lai asked enthusiastically, "Tingnan, are you here to play with Xiao Jiang again?"

Chu Tingnan smiled and replied, "Yes, Aunt Lai. We are having a get-together among our educated youth friends, and I came here specifically to ask Xiao Jiang to come along and play."

When Aunt Lai heard this, she quickly said, "Okay, you young people, go ahead and have fun!"

After saying that, he waved at the two of them, but his eyes were full of gossip.

At this moment, Zhou Yue, the second daughter-in-law of the Ye family, came out of the house. Her eyes were like searchlights, fixed on the two people who were leaving.

She curled her lips and said to Aunt Lai, "Didn't Comrade Jiang say before that she had tuberculosis? Aren't her friends afraid of being infected? She even invited her to dinner.

In my opinion, this is probably just an excuse. I see the guy next door hanging out with her all day long. If he really is sick, isn't he afraid of being infected?

Aunt Lai looked up at Zhou Yue, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, but she didn't respond.

Seeing this, Zhou Yue also shut his mouth wisely.

After they walked a distance out of the yard, Chu Tingnan asked with a smile, "Where did you go this morning?"

Jiang Yanqiu replied, "I went back home."

Chu Tingnan showed a bright smile on his face, and then said: "It's such a pity that you were not here this morning. Let me tell you, Zeng Hua actually called Tian Cheng here today, and Tian Mi was so angry when she saw her sister.

I really don't understand what Tian Mi was thinking. When she saw her sister, she ran over and called Li Conghui over. Fortunately, Tian Cheng knew how to handle the situation, otherwise Zeng Hua would have been put in a difficult position.

I didn't believe you before when you said she became famous overnight, but after all this time, I finally believe it. Few people can stand up to her in an argument."

Jiang Yanqiu laughed secretly in her heart, thinking that not only in quarrels, but also in fights, few people could beat her, but she couldn't ruin Tian Mi's reputation.

Zeng Hua's yard is really big, with its own entrance and exit. No wonder Chu Tingnan chose to host a dinner at their house.

As soon as we entered, a group of people were already barbecuing enthusiastically.

Not only Tian Cheng was there, but also Gu Qingqing, Gu Qingshi and Shen Shuyan, as well as some people I didn't know. However, Zhou Qianru was not there.

Most of the food was probably brought by Gu Qingqing and the others. In addition to mutton, there were also pork, beef, fish, shrimp and other meats, which are not easy to buy now.

Jiang Yanqiu greeted everyone one by one. When she greeted Shen Shuyan, Tian Mi asked curiously, "You know him too?"

Before Jiang Yanqiu could speak, Shen Shuyan said, "My mother and Aunt Lu, Xiao Jiang's mother, are colleagues."

Tian Mi was surprised when she heard this and said, "Your mother works in a military hospital, how come you are poorer than me?"

Jiang Yanqiu said nonchalantly: "My mother used to be a nurse, but later switched to logistics, and we have many brothers and sisters in our family."

Those who were unaware of the situation looked at Jiang Yanqiu's clothes and wondered how Tian Mi could tell that she was poorer than her.

Before Tian Mi could say anything, Shen Shuyan changed the subject and said, "I said before the New Year that I would organize a get-together for everyone, but then I got so busy that I never got around to it. I didn't expect that we'd meet by chance today."

He actually met Lin Shaoyang by chance today, and later he went to call the two from Gu Qingshi's family as well.

Li Conghui continued, "It seems we're all destined to meet. We met at the train station, and I didn't expect Jiang Zhiqing and his family to live in the same courtyard as us. We haven't run into each other in such a long time, otherwise I would have gone to help clean up. I heard Jiang Zhiqing is sick, how is he doing now?"

After hearing this, Gu Qingqing asked with concern: "Yanqiu, you are sick, is it serious?"

Before Jiang Yanqiu could say anything, Li Conghui said, "Gu Zhiqing, don't you know? Didn't Jiang Zhiqing retire due to tuberculosis? I heard it was quite serious and he was even hospitalized. By the way, you're taking Chinese medicine, so you can't eat mutton, fish, or shrimp. They can easily conflict with the medicine."

If she hadn't shown a sarcastic expression after she finished speaking, everyone might have thought that she was just really concerned about Jiang Yanqiu.

Chu Tingnan handed a handful of lamb skewers to Jiang Yanqiu and said, "What are you afraid of? Let's drink today and worry about tomorrow. We can talk about anything after we're full. Come and try some. Comrade Xiao Gu taught us how to grill lamb skewers. They taste great. The fish and shrimp they brought are also very fresh. I'll grill some for you."

Gu Qingqing thought that the fish and shrimp were bought and placed in the space when they went to Shanghai last time, so how could they not be fresh?

Jiang Yanqiu also took it and said with a smile: "Fighting poison with poison is also a way to cure illness."

I really dug a hole for myself. I was too lazy to deal with people and just told a lie. I didn't expect that there were so many acquaintances in this yard. I don't know what everyone thinks of me.

Tian Mi was trying to hold back her laughter and was shaking all over.

Gu Qingqing didn't know why Jiang Yan lied. Thinking back to what happened on the train, Li Conghui was inexplicably dissatisfied with Jiang Yanqiu and the others.

During the time they spent together, she herself had a bad impression of Li Conghui, but no one offended her, and they kept chatting.

He also agreed: "That's the reason. Eat first, and we'll save some lamb chops for you."

Tian Mi regretted impulsively calling Li Conghui in the morning. It was such a spoiler.

Feeling somewhat guilty, he quickly opened a bottle of soda for Jiang Yanqiu and said, "Come, drink some soda."

It was Jiang Yanqiu’s first time drinking soda. It looked similar to the Gaocheng drinks of later generations, but the taste was much better.

Seeing her expression full of aftertaste, Li Conghui spoke again: "This is your first time drinking soda too. I thought we were the only ones in the countryside who hadn't tried it. How does it feel? I wasn't used to it the first time I drank it either."

I thought they were a rich family, but it turned out they had never even had a drink of soda. Thinking that many families in their courtyard were not as good as the rural people, Jiang Yanqiu guessed that they were about the same.

At this moment, Jiang Yanqiu realized why this person was staring at her and was trying to step on her.

But except for Li Conghui, the conditions of other families here are pretty good, so I guess they want to find someone who is at the bottom of the list.

However, compared with the Li family's large courtyard, Jiang Yanqiu's conditions are really poor, not to mention others.

Lin Shaoyang and the others are children of high-ranking officials, and Chu Tingnan and the others are descendants of capitalists, and their parents have good jobs.

Before Jiang Yanqiu could say anything, Shen Shuyan asked, "Xiao Jiang, doesn't your house have a second floor? Why do you still rent a house?"

He also saw through Li Conghui's intention and wanted Li Conghui to have some self-awareness and not go so far.

Even if he didn't know Jiang Yanqiu, he couldn't stand Li Conghui, who favored those who were better off than her and stepped on those who were worse off than her.

As for the Jiang family having a two-story courtyard, that was what Jiang Yuzhu said the other day. Jiang Yuzhu is a heartless child and tells everything.

Li Conghui stopped talking. If Li Anan hadn't stolen her identity, she really wouldn't have looked down on such a waiter entering the hospital.

However, she also knew that those who owned their own houses in the capital had some wealth.

Jiang Yanqiu answered casually, "I'm afraid of spreading the disease to my family. Plus, my work is far away, so it's more convenient to live closer."

After hearing this, Shen Shuyan said, "Indeed, your family doesn't need your salary anyway."

No one took this little episode seriously; everyone was talking about interesting things that happened in the past.

Men can really become good buddies anytime and anywhere. Even Gu Qingshi joined in playing finger-guessing games and drinking.

The girls were playing cards, while Li Conghui and chef Zeng Hua were hanging around. Zeng Hua was responsible for grilling food for everyone.

Tian Cheng looked indifferent and played cards with Jiang Yanqiu and others. Tian Mi would make fun of Tian Cheng from time to time.

Sometimes Gu Qingqing and Jiang Yanqiu wanted to laugh so much, but they were afraid of angering Tian Mi, so they dared not laugh and could only cough continuously.

Tian Mi's mind was as clear as a mirror. Seeing the two of them coughing non-stop, she said unhappily, "I think you two really have tuberculosis."

Everyone stayed until the evening and had another hotpot meal before leaving feeling satisfied.

Zeng Hua is a good cook and is also talented. She can speak, sing and play the accordion.

Qi Bing also said that Zeng Hua has good writing skills and often publishes articles.

Anyone who can work as a central air conditioner must be quite capable.
