Daily life of female supporting actresses in the 1970s

The old man thought about it and said without any pretense: "Okay, then I'll go and take a look." Then he strode towards the other rooms.

You're right, we actually found several boxes of things in one room.

When I opened it, I saw that it was full of stacks of banknotes, but they were all outdated gold yuan notes, and there were also quite a few counterfeit coins!

Why can we tell at a glance that the money is counterfeit? It’s simple: the boxes are clearly labeled.

Old Mr. Murong shook his head and sighed, "Tsk, tsk, tsk, these things are useless for burning. In the past, you might not have enough to eat a bowl of noodles if you carried a box out. I guess you are going to burn them all."

After searching around, the old man unexpectedly found a secret compartment in this room that contained a mystery.

I have to say it is very hidden. If Jiang Yanqiu and the others were to look for it by themselves, it would not be easy to find it.

When the secret compartment was opened, there were two thousand dollars, some bullets, and three books that looked quite old.

When Mr. Murong saw it, he found a bag and put the two thousand dollars in it without thinking.

Then he casually threw two stacks to each of Jiang Yanqiu and the others, and said with a smile: "It's not worthwhile to exchange these dollars at the bank, so you should keep them as a souvenir."

Then, the old man handed the three old books to the two of them and said with a smile, "These books, two of which are cookbooks, and one is a wine-making recipe. They are of no use to me, so I'm giving them to you. You are still young, and you may need them in the future. But young people, you still need to read more."

After confirming that there was nothing valuable in the basement, they walked out of the basement with satisfaction.

After leaving the basement, the old man said to Jiang Yanqiu and the others with a smile on his face, "I'm so lucky to meet you two kids. Come on! I'll treat you to some roast duck, but I'm going to call my wife first and ask her to come over."

As soon as he finished speaking, Mr. Murong didn't give Jiang Yanqiu and the others a chance to speak, and ran to a store to borrow a phone.

Not long after, he hung up the phone, came out, waved to Jiang Yanqiu and the others, and said, "Okay, we can just walk over there. The roast duck restaurant is not far from here."

On the way to the roast duck restaurant, Mr. Murong was not idle either. He turned his head to look at Jiang Yanqiu and others beside him and asked them what they thought about dealing with the foundation.

Jiang Yanqiu thought about it and told him everything she thought.

The old man listened to her, nodded with a smile, and said in agreement: "Your idea is good. Renting it to educated tenants is because most of them care about their reputation and it will be easier to negotiate in the future.

Remember not to rent your house to unreasonable people. Don't sympathize with them even if they are in trouble. They will definitely not understand you in the future. They will forget that you took them in when they were in trouble. They will only remember that you were heartless and wanted to drive them away.

As for rebuilding your house, as long as you have enough funds, you can build as big as you want. With the current housing shortage, the government will definitely approve it."

They talked as they walked, and after listening to the old man's advice, Jiang Yanqiu decided to give up the idea of ​​not charging rent for the first three months before she had a job.

After a while, they arrived at the roast duck restaurant. The old man skillfully ordered a roast duck and many side dishes.

While waiting for the food to be served, old lady Murong staggered into the store.

The old lady is over sixty years old. Her hair is all gray, her clothes are full of patches, and the wounds on her hands have not fully healed.

But he looked very energetic, especially his hair, which was combed neatly and looked very clean and tidy.

He also looked kind when greeting Jiang Yanqiu and the others.

At the dinner table, the old lady's movements were graceful and the old man was also very gentlemanly.

During the meal, the old man took great care of the old lady, helping her with dishes and pouring water, and was very gentle.

Chu Tingnan, who was originally busy eating, suddenly saw the heartwarming scene opposite him, and his heart suddenly skipped a beat.

Well, he followed suit and started taking care of Jiang Yanqiu while she was eating.

When Jiang Yanqiu saw this scene, a sweet smile appeared on her face.

Children can be taught.

No one talked much during the meal, and the old man and the old lady occasionally had a sip of wine.

Jiang Yanqiu and the others also drank two glasses, but they didn't know how to taste wine, so they thought the wine was nothing special.

The old man was a real drunkard, but when the old lady said she didn't want to drink anymore, the old man immediately put down his glass and didn't drink any more.

Looking at this old couple in front of me, after so many ups and downs over the years, they still have such a tacit understanding and can enjoy life so leisurely. It is really enviable.

After the meal, the four of them didn't say much and just enjoyed the food quietly.

Before we knew it, everything on the table had been eaten up, not even a crumb was left.

After dinner, Chu Tingnan spoke: "Grandpa Murong, I learned from my previous phone call that you and grandma are still living in the guesthouse. My house happens to have an empty yard. If you and grandma don't mind, you can move in."

The old man smiled kindly and said, "Son, we appreciate your kindness, but if we go to live with you, who will take care of us two old people? We've suffered a lot in the past ten years, and now we just want to live a quiet and leisurely life for a while."

Regardless of other aspects of this guesthouse, there is someone to clean the rooms every day, which is quite good.

If you live alone, you can’t hire a nanny and have to rely on yourself for everything.

All they do every day is travel around and eat delicious food. Isn’t this a good life?

Thinking of this, the old man sighed again and said, "I guess these comfortable days won't last long!"

Later, Jiang Yanqiu and a few other enthusiastic people said they wanted to send the two elderly people home, but they politely declined.

I saw the old man holding a bag of dollars steadily in his left hand and the unfinished jar of wine in his right hand, walking slowly and leisurely with his wife, shoulder to shoulder.

Watching Chu Tingnan and his companions walk away, one of them couldn't help but sigh, "Look at these two elderly people. Even though their children aren't very filial, they have such a good relationship as a couple. It's really enviable."

Jiang Yanqiu nodded and said, "That's right. Young couples stay together in old age, but who knows how many difficulties they have gone through to get to where they are today."

It can be seen that the situation of the two has not been very good in recent years. Although Mr. Murong downplayed the issue of his children and grandchildren before, only they themselves know the real bitterness.

Jiang Yanqiu went back and looked at the recipe and wine-making formula. The wine-making formula was okay because she couldn't understand it.

I won’t talk about some of the dishes in the recipe. With her ability, some of them will take her several days to make, and she probably won’t be able to make them in her lifetime.

Not only are the patterns complicated, but the process is even more troublesome. Not to mention making it, it’s troublesome just looking at it. She fell asleep without even collecting the recipe.
