Daily life of female supporting actresses in the 1970s

Jiang Yanqiu thought that her kitchen had collapsed, and that many old houses had probably collapsed as well. The urban construction team must be very busy.

She asked curiously, "Where did you get the boiler? It's hard to buy, isn't it?"

It is unlikely that a boiler can be purchased privately, and I haven't seen anyone selling it.

Chu Tingnan explained, "How can we buy them? A friend of ours had his father sent to the boiler factory to work as a boiler operator. These boilers were scrapped and returned to the factory to be rebuilt, so we bought some from them. Brother Yang and Brother Da helped us find usable parts, repaired them, and reassembled them. They can't be used for heating a large area, but they can be used to boil water. We even built a fire wall in the kitchen, which is convenient for taking showers in winter."

Jiang Yanqiu gave them a thumbs-up and said, "You guys are awesome!"

It really proves the saying that if you learn math, physics and chemistry well, you will not be afraid to travel around the world. You can turn other people's discarded things into treasures.

After the three of them had lunch, Lin Shaoyang went over there to get the fan. It was really hot that day!

Jiang Yanqiu then remembered that she still needed an electric fan, but electric fans were hard to buy in those days. Tickets were issued by the unit, and whether you could get one depended entirely on luck, because you had to draw.

Chen Tao also brought her children to help wash the seafood. Chu Tingnan didn't want Jiang Yanqiu to do anything, so she just had to give instructions with her mouth.

Chu Tingnan looked at the seafood and exclaimed in surprise: "Where did you buy so much seafood? We also went to the fishing village, but there was not much seafood there, just some that people picked up from the sea."

Jiang Yanqiu explained with a smile: "We just happened to run into someone's production team's fishing fleet returning and stopping to rest. They knew we were coming from the disaster area, so they sold it to us."

Lin Shaoyang said happily, "I see there are a lot of oysters. I bought some charcoal so I can roast the garlic oysters later."

"okay!"

Lin Shaoyang put the leftover fish and shrimp into a bucket and put it into the well of Chu Tingnan's house next door.

The watermelon was also put in to cool it down. Jiang Yanqiu also made a bucket of mint lemonade and put it in the well to cool it down, and drank it as a beverage in the evening.

With four people working together, they were quite fast. Soon they made another bucket of seafood in sauce and put it into the well to chill.

Jiang Yanqiu jokingly said, "Chu Tingnan, no one has ever committed suicide by jumping into your well before, right?"

Chu Tingnan quickly explained, "The well in my house was dug when my parents got married. No one in our family has ever jumped in. Now that we have running water, how can we use it? But it's quite useful for cooling things."

Lin Shaoyang continued, "By then, this area should have running water."

Chu Tingnan explained with a smile, "When my parents got married, the Japanese were still around! Back then, they were constantly developing biological and chemical weapons, and no one dared to drink tap water. So my parents dug a well in the yard, about 30 or 40 meters deep. It tasted much better than tap water, but we didn't have a water pump installed, and the well wheel was broken, so it was hard to draw water!"

Lin Shaoyang smiled and said, "Deep well water must be delicious. Not many families have well water these days. I'll convert your house into a pressurized well when I find the materials."

"It's not easy to freeze things after the modification." Chu Tingnan then said mysteriously, "Let me tell you, there used to be wells in the front and back yards of this house. They were smashed when the movement started. It seems there was something inside, but it was later filled in."

Chen Tao didn't think much about it and said, "It's good to add more. There are so many children, and it's really not safe to have a well."

"This should be."

Jiang Yanqiu and the others understood it in their hearts. They probably thought there was a treasure hidden in the well, so they smashed it. Chu Tingnan was afraid that the thing he said was a person who had died tragically.

Jiang Yanqiu quickly changed the subject: "Chu Tingnan, Lin Shaoyang, do you want to invite your friends over? We can prepare in advance."

Lin Shaoyang said calmly: "You are my only friends."

It was indeed true that Jiang Yanqiu and her friends were the only ones who could simply chat and eat.

Chu Tingnan said, "I'll call Qi Bing over later. Qi Bing usually doesn't bring anyone with him, and with my mom, there's no one else!"

Jiang Yanqiu said, "Then we can just watch over the food and cook it, so we don't waste it. It's so hot, and it's not good to keep seafood for too long."

Jiang Yanqiu made some pepper and salt flavors, and most of the others were steamed or blanched. She made a seafood platter and cooked a pot of fragrant seafood porridge.

When getting off work, Nan Wanwu was the first to arrive, and she came from the roof again.

Jiang Yanqiu ran up to take a look out of curiosity. Chu Tingnan's kitchen and toilet were built here, only two meters away from Jiang Yanqiu's. There was a wall in the middle with a wooden board on top.

As soon as Nan Wanwu came over, she asked, "Why didn't you go to Zeng Hua's house for this gathering?"

Chu Tingnan sighed helplessly and said, "When I go to his house, he always brings a bunch of women with different personalities. It often spoils the fun during dinner. So I stopped inviting him. I don't know how he got away with it. Even Wen Chang went with him."

Nan Wanwu said, "They both work at a publishing house, so it's normal for them to know each other! And it just shows that he's popular."

Chu Tingnan snorted disdainfully and said, "You're the only one who says that. Others say he's a gangster."

Everyone came one after another. Li Anan called them over from home. The only ones left were Tian Mi, Qi Bing and Liu Yuanda. Liu Yuanda came back the latest.

As soon as Tian Mi saw Jiang Yanqiu, she couldn't wait and started shouting excitedly, "Jiang Yanqiu, let me tell you something. When the earthquake hit your yard that day, I heard the sound of your house collapsing, so I ran over to take a look. Except for the kitchen and toilet, everything else was fine. I came back to check the next morning, and guess what happened?"

Jiang Yanqiu knew what she was going to say, but she still agreed and said, "What's wrong?"

Tian Mi said mysteriously, "There's a huge hole in your yard, and I didn't hear anything. Isn't that strange?"

Jiang Yanqiu looked at the funny expression and said, "I'm telling you, couldn't you take a closer look? Maybe someone dug it out on purpose?"

Tian Mi said without thinking, "Could there be some treasure down there? Otherwise, who would have the time to dig such a huge hole?"

Just as she finished speaking, she suddenly realized something and turned to Li Anan and said, "Li Anan, maybe your family's treasures have been dug up. You should report it to the police right away. Maybe you can get it back."

Faced with Tian Mi's yelling, Li Anan was speechless for a moment. He opened his mouth but couldn't say a word.

I could only sit there stupidly, with a look of confusion on my face.

Jiang Yanqiu and Chu Tingnan couldn't help laughing. They couldn't say this, but Tian Mi happened to think of it.

Tian Mi saw Li Anan looking at her with a complicated expression and asked in confusion: "Why are you looking at me like that? Hurry and report to the police."
