Daily life of female supporting actresses in the 1970s

After everything was packed up, Jiang Yanqiu looked at the empty house and started to worry. There were still a lot of furniture to buy!

The kang table, the eight-immortal table, the desk, the stools, the grain cabinet, and the bathtub...all added up, it would cost a lot of money.

She only had seventy-two dollars and sixteen cents left, which was a lot of money to spend in that era!

After packing up, Jiang Yanqiu began to prepare breakfast. They started work at five o'clock and had to leave at four-thirty.

It’s too early and I can’t eat breakfast at all. I will take a half-hour break to eat breakfast around 7:30.

Locals sometimes have their families send them breakfast, and sometimes they take it with them to eat in the mountains.

The educated youth had no choice but to bring their own food to the mountains to eat.

Most people have boiled sweet potatoes, potatoes, etc. for breakfast. The diligent ones will bring some vegetable rice, pancakes, etc.

Jiang Yanqiu was no exception, but she had no sweet potatoes or potatoes, so she cooked herself a bowl of corn porridge, and steamed a steamed bun and an egg. The steamed bun was specially saved from yesterday.

After cooking the porridge and cleaning the pot, the announcement for the brigade to get up just sounded. It should have been four o'clock.

It was still early, so Jiang Yanqiu took out a book from her space and started reading.

She waited until the second broadcast sounded before eating the corn porridge and eggs, putting the steamed buns into the enamel jar, covering the enamel jar with a net bag, and filling the kettle with water.

When the third broadcast sounded, it was time for everyone to set off. The educated youth were all dressed similarly, wearing straw hats and a towel around their necks.

Some used canned bottled water, some used lunch boxes for lunch, and there were five people including Jiang Yanqiu, who had military canteens. The original owner's military canteen was also given by Jiang Mingzhu.

There are now nine people in the educated youth site. The old educated youth Lin Shaoyang, Lin Xiaomei, Liu Yuanda and the new educated youth Gu Qingshi and Gu Qingqing are all in the same team and group.

It was originally impossible for Gu Qingqing to be in the first team, but when the groups were formed, the team leader took a fancy to the tall and strong Gu Qingshi.

Don’t think that the educated youth can’t do farm work. The work done by the first team is all physical work, and they need people with great strength. As long as you adapt to it, there will be no problem.

Gu Qingshi wanted to work with Gu Qingqing, and the team leader was quite embarrassed at that time.

Gu Qingqing looks like someone who can't do anything. She is beautiful, and there are many unmarried young men in their team. Don't let her affect the progress of their team.

Besides, no matter how capable Gu Qingshi is, he can't do the work of two people!

However, Lin Shaoyang also said that he would help Gu Qing with the work when he was done. The captain agreed immediately.

Wang Haiyang is also a tall man of about 1.8 meters, but a little thin. He has a fair complexion and is too gentle and polite. Based on the team leader's experience, he should be a pretty boy who can't work.

Even if he is capable of working, a team leader doesn't want him to be a leader. He looks like a attractor. Don't let him attract a bunch of young girls and wives to cause trouble in their team.

Gu Qingshi is also good-looking, but he always has a cold face, as if the words "Women keep away" are written on his face. In addition, he has a beauty like Gu Qingqing by his side, so the girls in the team are still very self-aware.

But it’s not certain for Wang Haiyang.

The team leader has a very good eye for people. Wang Haiyang is very popular in the second team. Several girls in the village who never worked have come out to work.

There are unmarried girls hanging around in Wang Haiyang's group all day long, and even women in their forties and fifties are rushing to work for Wang Haiyang.

The other four educated youth were originally in the second team and in the same group.

Look, Jiang Yanqiu was transferred to another group after she came back from leave. Other people had already been assigned to the group she was working in before, so she couldn't join.

As for Qiao Lei, she started slacking off on the first day. After being reported, she reported all the people slacking off in the surrounding groups.

The second team leader, the women's team leader and several team leaders next to their group were very busy all afternoon.

The next day, Qiao Lei and the aunts who were reported the most by Qiao Lei were all transferred to Team 3.

At this time, work was done in groups. One group was responsible for an area, and they worked and left together, with the same work points.

If you slack off, others will have to work harder, and you can just report them privately.

If you are reported in public, the captain or group leader will not be able to cover up for you and can only send you to Team 3, otherwise everyone will have objections.

This is also the reason why Jiang Yanqiu felt that there was an inside story for Lin Xiaomei to get first-class work points. If she didn't have that ability, she wouldn't let others work for her. The children of village cadres didn't have such treatment.

If you can't finish the work while working together, it is impossible for everyone to sit in the fields and wait for you. Every household has a pile of work waiting to be done.

We can't leave her here alone to work, let's all leave first. If she can't finish the work or it's not up to standard, our work points will be deducted collectively.

In order not to waste time and avoid having work points deducted, the team leader did not care and most people chose to work harder, finish earlier and go home earlier.

Today, the tasks of Teams 2 and 3 are to turn over the sweet potato vines.

A team of people went to repair the roads and wheat drying yards that were collapsed by water. The wheat harvest would be in a few days, so they had to make preparations in advance.

Jiang Yanqiu had never done the job of turning over sweet potato vines before. Sweet potatoes were not grown in her hometown in her previous life, but it was not difficult to learn.

The operation of turning the vines is very simple. Grab the top of a sweet potato vine with one hand and the middle of the vine with the other hand, then lift it up with force and turn it over while lifting it, so that the leaves that were originally on the back turn up, and the leaves that were originally on the top turn down.

The new team leader arranged for Tian Dazui to teach Jiang Yanqiu how to turn over the sweet potato vines. Jiang Yanqiu knew Tian Dazui's name.

Jiang Yanqiu didn't know what Tian Dazui's real name was, but she knew where he got this nickname. It wasn't because he was eloquent, but because he dared to say anything.

When working together, she eats both meat and vegetables and doesn't care about the feelings of other people around her.

She could even talk about the little things between her and her husband, including how many times they had sex in one night and whether it was done properly. She could make even older girls and young wives feel embarrassed to listen.

The village usually arranges some people who share the same interests as her to form a group.

Jiang Yanqiu was assigned to their group because she had no other place to stay.

After seeing Jiang Yanqiu taking action, Tian Dazui started gossiping: "Jiang Zhiqing, Lin Xiaomei stole so much money from you and bullied you so much, why did you let her go? People like this should be sent to a farm for reform."

Jiang Yanqiu explained, "Auntie, please don't say anything nonsense. Lin Zhiqing kept the money for me because she was afraid I would lose it. I misunderstood her."

Li Hehua, who was standing nearby, interrupted, "Jiang Zhiqing, you're too easygoing. With Lin Xiaomei's personality, would she be so kind as to help keep your money? If you hadn't caught her red-handed, she'd be the one living in the brick house now."

Tian Dazui followed suit, saying, "If you ask me, you're just too kind. If you let her go, she'll bully you again next time. Lin Xiaomei is someone who picks on the weak. The less you deal with her, the more she'll push you. Look at Qiao Zhiqing. Does she dare to bully you? Believe it or not, she'll bully you again in the future."
