Daily life of female supporting actresses in the 1970s

Qiao Lei has recently felt like there are eyes watching her from behind.

This feeling of being followed is like a shadow and cannot be shaken off.

And it's completely different from previous experiences. This time it's not just a simple stalking.

It was more like a mysterious force guiding her secretly, making her involuntarily want to get closer to the mysterious figure hiding in the dark.

Every time she had this impulse, an irrepressible excitement would surge in her heart, and this feeling made her even more afraid.

Because she had no idea who that person was or where he was hiding.

For her own safety, Qiao Lei could only go out as little as possible. Even at school, she would never be alone.

After returning to her home, she didn't even dare to use the space unless she had no other choice.

Qiao Lei planned to sell the courtyard house she bought and prepared to run away.

One of the courtyard houses was left for Qiao's parents to live in during their retirement.

As for the brothers and sisters of the Qiao family, except for Qiao Liang, she didn't have a good relationship with the others.

It should be that the relationship with the original owner was not very good. The original owner was too honest and always thought twice before doing things.

The brothers and sisters of the Qiao family all looked down on the original owner, and none of them was truly kind to her.

After she came, she didn't have any feelings for the brothers and sisters of the Qiao family, and they were of no use to her.

It was already very good that he did not stand up for the original owner and seek revenge on them, and it was even more impossible for him to give his property to them.

As for Qiao Liang, she has taught him enough over the years. If he can't make something of himself, he can only blame himself.

In fact, Qiao Lei didn’t even want to leave a house to Qiao’s parents!

If Qiao's mother hadn't been so dictatorial and overbearing, the original owner wouldn't have been as timid as a mouse, not even daring to tell his family about his illness, and eventually died.

But who can blame Qiao's mother for being so good at observing people's expressions? Seeing that she was living a good life, she came to please her and care about her.

Even at such an old age, he left his hometown to help her and was even taken to the police station once.

This made her really unable to bear to leave nothing for the two old people.

A house, as a way to repay her for occupying someone else's daughter's body.

But selling a house is not that easy.

Back then, she wanted to be a landlady, so she would buy any house that was available. She even bought some houses at high prices and competed with others for the price.

It’s difficult to sell it now. How can an ordinary family easily spend 10,000 or 20,000 yuan to buy a house?

She didn't dare to sell the house in a high-profile manner and could only find someone to buy it privately.

But she couldn't bear to sell it at a loss, and she felt really unwilling to do so.

Other female protagonists who travel through time are much more extreme than her, but they still live a life of wealth and glory.

Secondly, she is still hoping to find someone who knows her secret!

By collecting the other party and their acquaintances into the space, you may be able to add new skills to the space.

Qiao Lei just daydreams all day long and has no interest in reading or studying, let alone doing business.

It was originally agreed that she would be responsible for purchasing, but she forgot about it several times, and it was Gu Qingqing who took care of the shortage of ingredients.

That day, Gu Qingqing found Qiao Lei and couldn't help complaining, "My dear Miss, what's wrong with you lately? You've almost ignored everything in the store! The hot pot restaurant is running out of ingredients again. Gao Feng has come to look for you several times, but he didn't come to you. I guess they're out of ingredients."

Hearing this, Qiao Lei couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. She scratched her head gently and said slowly, "I didn't have any ingredients when I went there last time. By the way, Miss Gu, I've been thinking about something very important recently."

Gu Qingqing took a look and curiously leaned over, joking with a smile: "What's the big deal? It's so big that a money-grubber like you has lost interest in making money?"

Qiao Lei sighed softly and said, "I was thinking, how great it would be if we could contract a piece of land to grow food and raise some poultry and livestock! That way we could be self-sufficient and no longer have to worry about the other party suddenly not supplying us or encountering danger when buying food!"

Thinking of this, Qiao Lei's eyes suddenly lit up.

If she could successfully contract a farm, she wouldn't have to rack her brains to come up with excuses to take food out of her own space warehouse.

Now her space warehouse is almost full of food.

But there is no excuse to use all this food, which is really a headache. It is still much more comfortable to live in the countryside.

Gu Qingqing heard her thoughts and said, "Miss, you haven't woken up yet, right? All the land is collective now. It's not that easy to contract it!"

Of course she knew Qiao Lei's little plan, but under the current circumstances, it was not easy to successfully contract the land.

Moreover, even the relevant policies on land contracting have not been issued yet, even if they were issued.

In this era, there is no such thing as going out to work. Land is the lifeline of ordinary people. Who would be willing to contract out their land?

Qiao Lei smiled a little embarrassedly and said, "I'm just thinking about it. Maybe one day my dream will come true."

Gu Qingqing couldn't help but sigh: "Maybe!"

According to the trend in the past, the land contract responsibility system will be officially implemented next year.

Although they may not be able to contract the land, farmers can sell their excess grain, making buying and selling grain much easier.

Qiao Lei sighed helplessly and continued, "Let's find a way to hold on for a few days. I'll go and ask around on Saturday to see if they have any food and meat for sale. If not, I really have no other options."

Gu Qingqing sternly instructed, "Alright, but you must be careful. Although few people are in charge of buying and selling food these days, it's illegal to resell food privately. Without food, we'll just make less money. Don't put yourself in danger. It's not worth it!"

In the past, Gu Qingqing suspected that Qiao Lei had a cheat code, so she often put the goods in the deep mountains and forests and asked her to get them herself.

But now she is not sure anymore. She hasn't bought anything else from Qiao Lei since coming to the capital.

Even after opening the hotpot restaurant, there were several times when the food was out of stock. Qiao Lei couldn't be relied upon, so she had to find ways to solve the problem on her own.

She began to wonder if the person with the golden finger was someone else, and Qiao Lei might just be a middleman.

Or maybe Qiao Lei really has dealings with people who have sources of goods over there, otherwise why wouldn't they contact her after coming here?

But none of this matters now. She has no plans to open a restaurant. She is just bored and wants to find something to do to pass the time.

Opening a restaurant is risky and the money comes in slowly, so it’s better to open a hotel. She plans to do something else.

Now that she considers Qiao Lei a friend, she certainly doesn't want her to take any risks.

Although their businesses are booming, they are not indispensable to Gu Qingqing.

As for her space, there were still a lot of food stored, but these were specially left for her family to eat.

In the past, I bought pure natural and organic food, but now it’s hard to say?

More and more farmers are using chemical fertilizers, pesticides and feed, and it is becoming increasingly difficult to buy such good ingredients.

It’s not that Qiao Lei didn’t blame herself for not selling it to Gu Qingqing, it’s just that after arriving in the imperial capital, there was no suitable place to trade.

Trading with strangers is easy, just find a forest!

But Gu Qingqing knew her background and didn't dare to do anything rash.

After school on Saturday, Qiao Lei went to a remote small courtyard.

She bought this specifically to use as transit supplies for their hot pot restaurant. Now it's difficult to sell it because it's really a bit out of the ordinary.

A lot of pigs, cattle and sheep were released from the space and locked up in the basement. A lot of grain and other food materials were placed in this yard. I will bring Gu Qingqing here tomorrow to move them away.

Now Gu Qingqing didn't use up any space, so she called a car and had the food and other ingredients delivered to the warehouse of the hot pot restaurant.

The pigs, cattle and sheep are sent to the slaughterhouse, but they cannot be slaughtered all at once!

If they pay some labor fee, the people at the slaughterhouse will help them raise the animals.

If they need it, they can just give a heads-up in advance, and someone will help them kill it and then they can come and get it. It won’t be easy to be discovered.

After the two of them finished their work, Gu Qingqing prepared to go to several stores to check the accounts.

However, Qiao Lei no longer had the excitement of counting money as before, and made an excuse not to check it first.

Gu Qingqing didn't insist. Seeing that it was still early, she went on a date with Gu Qingshi.

Qiao Lei originally wanted to go back to the dormitory directly, but then she realized that her warehouse was almost full of food, so she had to clear it out.

There is so much more space now, but the warehouse has not become bigger.

If we don’t clear it up, there will be no place to store next season’s harvest.

When she arrived at the black market, Qiao Lei immediately found her old customer Hei Liu.

Hei Liu had traded with Qiao Lei twice, and both times he cleared out her inventory. He was very generous and quick to pay.

When Hei Liu saw that it was Qiao Lei coming, his big eyes, which had been shining brightly, could not see anything!

He grinned and said cheerfully, "Hey, Boss Lei, it's been a long time! I was wondering if you weren't around here anymore."

It has been more than half a year since Qiao Lei last came to the black market.

After not seeing each other for such a long time, Qiao Lei's appearance now is even more intimate to Hei Liu than meeting his own family.

But Qiao Lei simply replied, "It's not that easy in our line of work! We have to go everywhere to collect goods, and every time we close a deal, we have to hide for a while. Otherwise, if we're too popular and get noticed, it'll be troublesome."

Hei Liu nodded in agreement, "That's right! Now everything is under control, except for the food supply. We brothers finally opened a few restaurants, but without food supply, we're losing money. By the way, you're going to sell food this time, right?"

Qiao Lei nodded slightly in affirmation, then asked cheerfully, "Yes, how much do you want?"

When Hei Liu heard this, his eyes lit up and he replied excitedly, "It's the same old saying. As long as it's edible, no matter how much, I, Hei Liu, can eat it all!"

Seeing his expression, Qiao Lei stopped talking to him and directly told him the location and time of the transaction.

However, she herself had no idea about the amount of food.

I don’t know if the space has been harvested this season, and I don’t know how much there is this season.

There are now eighteen acres of land and three more laborers. She hasn't been in the field for a long time, so the output is still unknown!

So he told Hei Liu to just bring some extra money, and Hei Liu went to prepare the money without saying anything!

Qiao Lei was still a little worried about Hei Liu, so she followed him quietly. When she saw that he was just going to the bank to withdraw money, she left with peace of mind.

Because that familiar feeling came again, someone was following her, and she had to get rid of him quickly.

After she left, a black car slowly stopped by the roadside.

A short, ordinary-looking man swooped into the car.

Sitting in the car was a woman wearing sunglasses and with a cold temperament.

She tilted her head slightly, staring sharply at the man who had just gotten in the car, and asked, "Still haven't noticed anything unusual?"
