Daily life of female supporting actresses in the 1970s

"Everything that happened before was a misunderstanding. By the way, aunt, do you know who rescued me that day? I want to thank them in person."

Jiang Yanqiu didn't want to continue this topic and quickly changed it.

Don’t be fooled by the fact that these people seem to be standing up for her now. They might turn around and exaggerate what they said to Lin Xiaomei.

In fact, these people do care about Jiang Yanqiu's situation, but compared with their gossip, that sincerity can be ignored.

So it’s better to say less. She doesn’t like to quarrel with others every day. It wastes energy and ruins her reputation.

Tian Dazui's attention was instantly diverted, and he immediately said, "We really don't know about this. That day, Li's Pidan and Maodan were picking wild duck eggs by the river. When they saw you jump into the river, they ran back to the village to call for help.

When we arrived, we saw someone rescue you, put you down, and then ran off. We don't know if they were a man or a woman, probably because they were afraid of damaging your reputation.

"But you're really lucky! Even though the river in our village looks calm on the surface, many people have drowned there. Didn't you see that no one goes swimming? It's because there are water ghosts down there, and if you get caught, no one can pull you out!"

Jiang Yanqiu originally thought that it was a woman who saved her. After all, the relationship between men and women is so strict nowadays. If it was a man, let alone rescuing someone from the water, even if a man and a woman rode on the same bicycle, he might be accused of adultery.

She hadn't heard any rumors about her these days, and they weren't in the books either. She thought it was a woman who saved her, but she didn't expect it was someone who did good deeds anonymously.

Seeing that she was silent, Tian Dazui comforted her, "Auntie, please don't think my words are harsh. Don't be so desperate to commit suicide in the future. Life is so good, what's there to be upset about? Haven't you heard that it's better to live a miserable life than to die? If you die, you will have nothing. It will just suit the wishes of those who don't like you..."

Tian Dazui knew that Jiang Yanqiu was disowned by her family because she took 300 yuan to the countryside, and he felt a little sympathetic towards her.

They were all parents, and although they didn't like the educated youth very much, it was impossible for the educated youth to share their food.

The current task is to reclaim ten acres of land per person, one pig, and there is a lot of wasteland here, so every educated youth who comes must reclaim ten acres of land.

The educated youth were unable to do so only at the beginning, and the later ones did not work much less than the villagers.

It was mainly the educated youth who brought bad habits to the village. The girls in the village all surrounded the male educated youths, and the boys all surrounded the female educated youths.

This caused many young people who were engaged to break off their engagements. Secondly, the male educated youth who came first slept with the girls in the village, and then they just went back to the city when they got a chance?

They had a good time while they were in the countryside, but it was hard for the girls. After losing their virginity, they could only marry in the mountains or far away places. They were afraid that they would not even be able to see their parents for the last time in this life.

In addition to this reason, there was also the practice of educated youth stealing and cheating. In the first two years, there were as many as a hundred educated youth.

The vegetable gardens and chicken coops of every household were often destroyed by the educated youth. The unlucky families even had the ears and tails of the pigs in the pigpen destroyed by the educated youth.

Before the educated youth came, they didn't even lock the door before going out, and after they came, they were eager to build a wall.

But then again, they still felt quite sympathetic in their hearts.

Many of the boys and girls aged fifteen or sixteen in the rural areas, unless their families are poor, have never done farm work.

But the problem is that the educated youth had to leave their hometowns at a very young age and had to support themselves without knowing how to do anything. The educated youth coming now are still relatively well off. Many of those who came in the past few years were only fourteen or fifteen years old, knew nothing, and some even wet their beds.

The male educated youth were relatively better off, as most of their families could still provide some financial support.

Not to mention the female educated youth, most of them not only did not receive any subsidies from their families, but also had to send food back home.

Those who cannot work originally thought that finding a better husband's family would make their lives better, but without the support of their parents, seven out of ten of them live worse in their husband's family than in the educated youth camp.

In their opinion, Jiang Yanqiu probably carried so much money with her because she knew how miserable the lives of the educated youth were in the countryside.

The Jiang family cut off ties with their daughter just for three hundred yuan. It’s obvious that they are not good people.

Jiang Yanqiu did not hide anything and told the whole story of how the Jiang family took away the original owner's job and sent the original owner to the countryside without any preparation.

Jiang Yanqiu was afraid that she would not be able to support herself in the countryside, so she was unwilling to give the money to her family.

Three hundred yuan is not a small amount, and I was afraid that word would get out that I took so much money to the countryside without caring about my family's life or death. Then everyone would think I was a selfish person, so it was better to say it out earlier.

At the same time, she kept emphasizing that her suicide had nothing to do with Lin Xiaomei, and that she committed suicide because she was depressed.

She didn't want to let Lin Xiaomei go. She knew very well that the less complaints she had towards Lin Xiaomei, the more people would think that she was being bullied so badly that she dared not say a word.

After all, bullying Lin Xiaomei and the new educated youth has happened more than once.

After she finished, Li Hehua said with a smile: "I think you are really stupid! If it were me, I would spend all my money before I die."

The other aunt disagreed, shaking her head and saying, "If a person has no hope, even mountains of gold and silver are useless."

……

Her complaints attracted many people to watch.

Everyone felt embarrassed to just stand there and listen, so they took the opportunity to finish the work of the people around Jiang Yanqiu.

After getting off work at noon, Jiang Yanqiu ran to the homes of a few aunts she had just met in the morning and exchanged twenty eggs to thank the two children who had called for help.

As for who her savior was, she had no idea and could only wait for an opportunity to thank him in the future.

Aunt Chen’s eggs had all been exchanged yesterday. Although she hadn’t eaten them all yet, she kept some for herself.

I get off work at 5:30 in the afternoon, and it's already dark at 8:30.

Jiang Yanqiu ran to the back hill to collect firewood, which she accumulated bit by bit. After returning and having dinner, she took the eggs to the Li family and tried to persuade them again.

Afterwards, I spent two days turning over the sweet potato vines and a day picking the leaves in the beet field.

Except for Lin Xiaomei and Zhao Lanlan, the educated youth site has returned to its previous state.

In order to prevent the other party from taking advantage, no one cleans the dormitory except for their own sleeping area.

However, in the yard, Zhao Lanlan, who loves her reputation, cleans it every morning and evening for the sake of her image.

Not only did Lin Xiaomei refuse to help, she also made sarcastic remarks, saying that Zhao Lanlan was fake and pretentious.

The others were pretty good. After finishing his work every day, Liu Yuanda went to the mountains to pick mushrooms.

Every morning and evening, Wang Haiyang would sit in the yard and read a newspaper or a book. His life was extremely comfortable.

Gu Qingqing's body had not yet fully recovered, but Gu Qingshi was busy taking care of her.

Except for working hours, Lin Shaoyang stays in the house and rarely goes out.

Qiao Lei would occasionally be with Lin Xiaomei, but most of the time she was alone.

Everyone is busy with their own things and does not interfere with each other, and they are having a great time.

However, Jiang Yanqiu, who felt guilty, felt that this seemed to be the calm before the storm.
