Daily life of female supporting actresses in the 1970s

The team leader didn't think much of what he heard, but simply ordered, "You old educated youth, hurry up and get to work. It'll be hot in the sun soon, so you should leave early. Jiang Zhiqing, which ridge are you turning? Let me help you check."

Jiang Yanqiu pointed to her own ridge. The team leader was going to check, so she hurriedly got up and followed him.

Liu Yuanda followed behind and shouted, "Captain, I've never turned over sweet potato vines before, so I don't know if they're up to standard. I'm waiting for inspection."

Seeing this, Zhao Lanlan didn't wait for them anymore and went to work first.

They had only looked halfway when they ran into Lin Shaoyang. Wow, he was holding a big bunch of sweet potato vines.

As soon as Lin Shaoyang saw the team leader, he hurriedly said, "There's nothing wrong with Zhao Laozhiqing and Jiang Zhiqing's, but Da Ge broke quite a few."

The team leader looked at Liu Yuanda, sighed, and said, "You better be careful. Don't use so much force. If it breaks, it will affect the production."

Liu Yuanda explained helplessly, "I was very careful, so why are there so many broken pieces?"

There's still a pile of them lying around on his land.

The team leader sighed again but said nothing. He then said, "Hurry up and get back to work. Be careful next time. Jiang Zhiqing is doing a good job. Keep it up. Try not to tear the sweet potato vines apart. They're all food."

"okay."

The two men returned to the field to continue working. Before they reached the end of the field, they heard the team leader yelling at people.

At first glance, Gu Qingshi had broken quite a few sweet potato vines. It seems that having great strength is not necessarily a good thing.

We worked until eleven o'clock, when the bell for the end of work rang out on the loudspeaker, and everyone stopped working and went back for lunch.

Jiang Yanqiu has probably completed four-fifths of the eight work points, and the remaining work can be completed in another half an hour.

Lin Shaoyang took a look and said, "You're working pretty fast. You can finish it even if you come back at 4:30 this afternoon. The team leader said that we should try to rest during the scorching sun at noon. Don't get heatstroke for just one or two work points. That would be more trouble than it's worth."

"Okay." Jiang Yanqiu never thought about coming early. She just wanted to finish the work before leaving work in the afternoon.

Liu Yuanda and Gu Qingshi each carried two large bundles of sweet potato vines back with a wooden stick, while the others did not even get one-third of what they did.

Jiang Yanqiu, Zhao Lanlan and Lin Xiaomei only have a few.

These sweet potato vines are to be sent to the pig farm. If the pigs cannot finish eating them, they will be chopped up and dried into bran. When it snows and there is no grass for the pigs, the bran will be used to feed the pigs and cows.

In addition to these educated youth, the locals also took some sweet potato vines back home, and everyone seemed to be accustomed to their two bundles of sweet potato vines.

When they reached the fork in the road leading to the pig farm, Lin Shaoyang said, "If you're too lazy to run, just give it to us and we'll deliver it to you."

Lin Xiaomei refused without a second thought: "We'll do it ourselves. Don't blame us for breaking so many sweet potato vines."

After saying that, she picked up her sweet potato vines and walked towards the pig farm.

The others were also brought over by Lin Shaoyang and the others. The road to the pig farm was really not close.

Not to mention that it was the first time to do this job, even an experienced person would inevitably break a lot of sweet potato vines. The village cadres would just criticize them a few times and there would be no major loss.

Lin Shaoyang also had good intentions, but Lin Xiaomei misunderstood that he had ulterior motives, thinking that everyone should be blamed for the many sweet potato vines that were torn apart by several people.

She thought they would be criticized. There was no one in the pig farms. Everyone put the sweet potato vines in the shed where the pig grass was stored and left.

This made her very angry.

Lin Shaoyang and Liu Yuanda both showed sarcastic expressions. They really thought that everyone was like her and they had to weigh the pros and cons before doing anything for others.

When we arrived at the village, we saw dried vegetables drying in the yards of every household.

Jiang Yanqiu wondered if she should dry some vegetables herself. After all, winter here lasts for half a year, and by then there's not a single green leaf left. If she didn't dry them, she really didn't know what to eat.

After returning to the house, Jiang Yanqiu had lunch and didn't work. After washing up, she lay on the kang and read a book before taking a nap.

There are many books from this era in Gu Qingqing's space, as well as many banned books, such as domestic classics, traditional Chinese medicine books, ancient books, foreign classics, etc. Many of them are in traditional Chinese characters, and Jiang Yanqiu could not recognize many of them.

Among them, there are dozens of sets of junior and senior high school textbooks, and mathematics, physics and chemistry series.

It must have been robbed from somewhere, otherwise the old turtle wouldn't be able to get it.

After lunch, Qiao Lei from next door didn't even bother to rest. She picked up the sickle she borrowed today and went into the space to cut rice.

She had to pack it up quickly and take it to the commune to sell it. After paying back Gu Qingqing, she should have some left for her own use.

The four plots of land together only cover two hundred square meters. Although she grew up in the countryside in her previous life, she had never done farm work, and the original owner of this life had never done farm work either. This small amount of land is enough to keep her busy for a while.

Jiang Yanqiu took a nap for about ten minutes when she heard everyone getting up to go to work, so she got up too.

After packing up, she did not go to the fields, but went to Aunt Yang's house not far from them.

When she came to their house to exchange eggs a few days ago, she saw that Aunt Yang's vegetable garden was quite large.

Before I even got there, I saw Aunt Yang coming back from outside with a basket. As soon as she saw her, she asked, "Jiang Zhiqing, you didn't go to work today?"

Jiang Yanqiu smiled and replied, "Yes, but I don't have much work left. I see that my aunt's vegetable garden is quite large. Could you lend me some vegetables? I'll dry them and eat them in the winter."

Aunt Yang opened the door, let her in and said, "I have a big family. Just look at how much you want and I'll try to give it to you."

Jiang Yanqiu shook her head and said, "I don't know either. If there's any extra at home, please give me some."

Aunt Yang agreed readily, "Okay, I'll pick 20 kilograms of beans for you. When you take them home, blanch them in water and then dry them in the sun.

There are a lot of cucumbers, and I can pick 60 kilograms for you. However, cucumbers are very watery, so there may not be many after drying. You can cut the cucumbers into dice, mix them evenly with wood ash, and dry them in the sun. This way they will be easier to dry, and they will look better when you eat them later, and they will taste good too.

If you have 30 kilograms of eggplant, you can just cut it in two pieces and then dry it in the sun. If you want to peel it and dry it in the sun, sprinkle some flour on it and mix it evenly before drying it in the sun. This way the color will look better.

After Aunt Yang finished speaking, she drank the water in the bowl in one breath. Without even taking a break, she took Jiang Yanqiu to the vegetable field to pick vegetables.

Along the way, she reminded him, "My family can only give you this much. If you hadn't come, I would have picked all the vegetables today and dried them tomorrow."

If you feel like it's not enough, you can ask other people for more. But you probably can't eat too much by yourself. When the rain is over, you can go with us to pick some mushrooms and dry them in the sun.

When you harvest radishes, you can also dry some radishes and cabbages, so you don’t have to worry about having no vegetables to eat in winter.”

Jiang Yanqiu said gratefully: "Thank you so much, auntie!"

The mushrooms she had picked were enough for her to eat for one or two meals, and none of them had been dried in the sun.
