Daily life of female supporting actresses in the 1970s

Tian Mi walked home happily carrying the pork, and all the way she was thinking about whether to have braised pork or sweet and sour spare ribs in the evening.

When she got home, she hung Jiang Yanqiu's portion on the wall and placed hers on the chopping board, ready to wash.

At this moment, a shrill and familiar cry came from outside the door.

"I want to eat meat! I want to eat meat! I won't do it, I just want to eat meat..."

Liu Xiaobao, the seven-year-old grandson of the Liu family, cried and screamed at the top of his lungs.

Tian Mi couldn't help but frown and secretly groan in her heart.

Every time someone in the yard bought meat, Liu Xiaobao would do this.

Not long after, there was a knock on the door. When I opened the door, it was indeed Uncle Liu from the east wing.

His face was wrinkled, and he smiled and said to Tian Mi, "Xiao Tian, ​​did you buy some meat here? Can you share some with us? We'll return it to you when we buy more. This child is making too much noise, and we can't do anything about it."

If someone came to ask for it like this, with Tian Mi's straightforward and aggressive personality, she would definitely fight back without mercy.

But facing this Mr. Liu, she felt a little helpless.

Uncle Liu is a veteran and has a lame leg, so Tian Mi has more respect and sympathy for him.

In this special era, everyone always has deep respect for those retired veterans who are disabled but strong-willed.

Tian Mi suppressed her unhappiness and tried to explain in a gentle tone: "Uncle Liu, it's not that I don't want to share with you. I only bought half a pound of meat today, and I plan to use this little bit of meat for frying..."

Before he could finish his words, Liu Xiaobao rushed into Tian Mi's house like a gust of wind. Without saying a word, he grabbed the meat and ribs on the chopping board and ran away.

This is not the point! Who would have thought that Liu Xiaobao would actually use the meat and ribs in his hands to wipe his nose, and even run while wiping.

Seeing this scene, Tian Mi's heart skipped a beat. A strong feeling of discomfort came over her and her stomach began to churn.

she was

Uncle Liu, who was standing by, saw all this, but he did not feel any guilt and did not teach his grandson a lesson.

Instead, he said to Tian Mi with a proud expression: "Xiao Tian, ​​look, this piece of meat has been wasted by my little treasure. You will definitely not be able to eat it. Why don't you give all the meat to our family? We will buy some more in a few days and return it to you."

Before he could finish his words, Uncle Liu turned around and left without even looking at Tian Mi.

Tian Mi was so angry that she was shaking and almost cursed out loud, but when she thought that the other party was a disabled veteran who had been on the battlefield, she held back.

When she thought of the snot on the piece of meat, she felt a chill and never wanted to take it back. She said she couldn't eat it if she took it back.

Fortunately, Jiang Yanqiu's half pound of meat was hanging on the wall and was not snatched away by Liu Xiaobao. I can go to Jiang Yanqiu's place to get some food tomorrow.

After Uncle Liu disappeared, Aunt Lai, who had been hiding in the house and watching, came out slowly.

She looked gloating and lowered her voice to Tian Mi, "I say, you are too honest, kid. You have to take one of the pork belly and ribs back. It's just a little snot on your nose. Why don't you just wash it?

You lent them so much meat, how can you ever return it? His family owes us at least 80 kilograms of meat from every household in our compound combined!

Tian Mi didn't want to pay any attention to Aunt Lai who was taking advantage of her misfortune. She was hiding at home and watching her make a fool of herself.

Don't think she doesn't know. Usually, Aunt Lai doesn't even dare to fart in front of the Liu family. Now they want to use her as a gun!

She also didn't want Aunt Lai to find out about Jiang Yanqiu's half pound of meat, otherwise she would definitely pester Jiang Yanqiu tomorrow.

So Tian Mi strode into the house and slammed the door shut.

Jiang Yanqiu had just gotten off the bus stop when she saw several figures running towards her in a hurry.

When the figures came closer, I could see clearly that it was Chu Tingnan and the others again.

Chu Tingnan and the others were seen panting and looking nervous, as if something scary was chasing them from behind.

When they saw Jiang Yanqiu, they all slowed down their pace.

Chu Tingnan greeted her with a smile. "Jiang Yanqiu, why are you still out there at this late hour? Aren't you afraid of getting into danger?"

Jiang Yanqiu frowned, looked at the people in front of her with a hint of disdain, and said, "I just came back from my sister's house. I'm saying, why are you guys making so much noise all day long, like thieves? Can you be more careful? Are you going to get into trouble again?"

Chu Tingnan laughed and said casually: "It's getting dark, we are anxious to go home!"

After saying goodbye to Zeng Hua, Jiang Yanqiu moved closer to Chu Tingnan and lowered her voice, "Are you going to the square? My dad and the others said that the higher-ups are holding a meeting right now to discuss arresting people on charges of active counter-revolution. You better be careful."

Hearing this, Chu Tingnan didn't take it seriously. He even showed it on his face. He still said with a playful smile: "The law does not punish the masses."

Jiang Yanqiu's face was dignified, and he said solemnly, "I'm not kidding you! This news is absolutely reliable and true.

Because of this incident, my little sister was beaten black and blue by my father. It was horrible. He did this just to make my little sister too embarrassed to go out and see people!

It's best for you not to go there recently. If you are caught and taken away, it's uncertain whether you can get out alive, and your families might even be implicated."

As soon as she finished speaking, Jiang Yanqiu quickened her pace and walked forward, as if she didn't want to stay for a moment.

If it weren't for Bai Qinan's matter, she wouldn't have bothered to remind Chu Tingnan and others so earnestly.

After Jiang Yanqiu gradually walked away until she disappeared, Qi Bing, who had been silent the whole time, finally asked, "Tingnan, what do you think of what Jiang Yanqiu just said?"

Chu Tingnan hesitated for a moment and then said slowly: "What she said is probably true. There is no need for him to lie to us. Starting tomorrow, tell Zeng Hua and the others not to go there again.

If she were caught, it would be too much of a loss, and there's a real possibility that, as she said, her family would be implicated if she wasn't careful."

Jiang Yanqiu went back to Tian Mi to get the meat.

Tian Mi gave her the meat and said aggrievedly, "Jiang Yanqiu, remember to give me some when you eat meat tomorrow."

Jiang Yanqiu asked suspiciously, "Didn't you buy the meat already? I think you still have two ribs, right?"

Tian Mi immediately showed a bitter face and replied unhappily, "Don't mention it, it's too hard to explain! I'll tell you the details tomorrow. I'm not in the mood to tell you right now."
