Daily life of female supporting actresses in the 1970s

After the house was divided and the rent was collected, it was already dark.

After Deng Xingrong and his team had looked at the house, Jiang Yanqiu and Chu Tingnan invited Director Chu and Deng Xingrong and the other three managers to dinner together and discuss the details.

When we arrived at the restaurant, everyone introduced themselves to each other.

After knowing that Jiang Yanqiu was the landlord, several people were quite surprised. They thought Jiang Yanqiu was a street staff member.

After the introduction, Deng Xingrong asked curiously, "Housing is so scarce now, why don't you give two-bedroom, one-living-room apartments to two people? Many two-bedroom, one-living-room apartments are occupied by one person."

Jiang Yanqiu explained to him: "It is easy for two strangers to have conflicts when living in the same apartment. If we rent it to the other family, we will have more responsibilities. If they have any disputes in the future, we will have to resolve them.

We rent the house to them and let them make their own arrangements. If they want to share the rent, that's fine. As long as they're educated youth or veterans, we won't interfere. Just register their information. If they have any conflicts in the future, let them resolve them themselves. But you still have to help resolve conflicts with other residents. If they're wrong and don't listen, they can just find someone who rented from us. If they don't care, we'll kick both families out."

Deng Xingrong finally came to his senses: "It seems I oversimplified the problem."

Jiang Yanqiu smiled and said, "The more residents we have, the harder it will be to manage, and you'll be under a lot of pressure. I suspect that once everyone moves in, some people will definitely come to cause trouble, and you'll have to step in to deal with it. You have to keep a close eye on it. If most people bring their families, there will be more conflicts and it will be even more difficult to manage."

Deng Xingrong patted his chest and assured: "If anyone doesn't follow the rules and brings their parents or siblings to live here, I will evict them according to the rental agreement. There are plenty of educated youth without places to live."

Jiang Yanqiu nodded, then said to Director Chu, "Director Chu, I think the work these three have is not easy. Can you share some of the rent we're collecting with your street office, and then have your street office give them some hard work compensation? Comrade Deng is unemployed and needs treatment for her leg. Comrade Wang's husband is just an apprentice, and they have three children at home. The pressure is huge."

Director Chu immediately understood what Jiang Yanqiu meant, and it was not easy for Jiang Yanqiu to directly hire someone to manage it.

However, those who manage the compound also receive subsidies. Without subsidies, no one would be willing to meddle in other people's affairs.

The street office has to take care of everything, and there are only so many people in their street office, so they must be exhausted.

I readily agreed: "Okay, then I will list them as non-staff members of our street, and you can just pay them directly, but they will not enjoy any benefits of our street."

Wang Jinfeng quickly declined: "Comrade Jiang, please don't give us any hard work fees. We are very grateful that you can rent the house to us. Anyway, I don't have much to do every day, so cleaning is not tiring."

Jiang Yanqiu refused and said, "You may think it's okay, but how can I let you work for free? In my opinion, this is exploiting the working people."

If she doesn't pay him, and he runs away, where will she find someone to help manage the business?

Moreover, the sense of responsibility of those who are paid and those who are not paid is different. If you want others to take care of you carefully, you must get some benefits.

Then Jiang Yanqiu said to Director Chu with a smile, "Director Chu, look, Comrade Deng has a lot of work pressure, so how about giving him 20 yuan a month? Comrade Gao has an easier job, so how about 10 yuan a month? Comrade Wang has to clean every day, so it's a bit hard, so how about 15 yuan a month? These are temporary, and we'll adjust their salaries later depending on the situation."

When Director Chu heard this, he realized that this was exactly the rent for the past few months, and he was probably afraid that something might happen.

However, this arrangement is quite reasonable. This is not a large compound with only a few or ten households. If there is no one to manage it, it will become a troublesome matter for their street.

Director Chu smiled and nodded, saying, "Okay, this salary is not low, but it's what you deserve. You must manage the yard well and don't let everyone down."

Deng Xingrong wanted to speak again, but Jiang Yanqiu said quickly, "Don't refuse. We pay you wages because we're afraid you'll quit. If you do, we won't have time to take care of you, and we'll have to trouble the neighborhood committee. Just treat it as a job."

But you three must also cooperate well. If anyone has difficulty with their work, or refuses to cooperate with you, go to Comrade Deng and have him coordinate. If anyone makes a mistake and refuses to repent, just kick them out.

We can’t let a bad apple spoil the whole bunch and disrupt everyone’s lives.”

After Jiang Yanqiu said this, the three of them fell silent. This was indeed possible.

As for the payment of wages, they should be paid in the name of the street, otherwise it will become an employment relationship, which will easily lead to suspicion.

After explaining all this, Jiang Yanqiu stopped caring about it and handed it over to the street office and Deng Xingrong and the other two to manage.

The rent for the first three months is definitely only enough to pay a few people’s salaries. Let’s wait and see the situation after three months.

She also wanted to test the management capabilities of these three people. If they were not capable, she would replace them. She couldn't spend money to hire someone and then have to do everything herself. What was the point of hiring them then?

The house issue was temporarily settled, and Jiang Yanqiu and her husband began to prepare for their wedding.

But there was nothing much to prepare. Chu Tingnan's family had an independent courtyard, which was said to be specially used for Chu Tingnan's wedding. It was about 300 square meters.

Besides, there is only Nan Wanwu in the Chu family, and there are extra rooms. The eldest brother of the Chu family and his family are also in the base and rarely come back.

After Jiang Yanqiu and her classmates were admitted to university, they had to live on campus and had little time to go home.

Jiang Yanqiu also had her own place to live, so the wedding room was set up in Chu Tingnan’s former room.

As for the house that the Chu family left for Chu Tingnan to get married, it was directly rented out.

Nan Wanwu had started renovating the house a long time ago, so there was no need for Jiang Yanqiu and others to get involved.

Chu Tingnan also replaced the big kang with a bed. At first, he was reluctant to knock it down. Nan Wanwu said that girls like beautiful things and the big kang would be out of place in the room. Only then did he reluctantly accept it.

As for the three turns and one ring, they all have it except the sewing machine. Jiang Yanqiu rarely uses the sewing machine, and Nan Wanwu also has it, so there is no need to buy another one. The TV is too small and she is not interested in it.

Refrigerators and washing machines are shockingly expensive; there's no need to buy them for the time being.

Jiang Yanqiu also had to prepare some bedding and clothes herself, as she was afraid that Lu Yunxia would not be reliable at the critical moment.

Apart from these, there was nothing else to prepare, and the two of them had almost nothing to do.

Sun Yufang was also helping out in the pharmacy during work that day. In the afternoon, Jiang Yanqiu suddenly asked, "Do you know that old lady?"

Jiang Yanqiu asked inexplicably: "What old lady?"
