Daily life of female supporting actresses in the 1970s

When Jiang Yanqiu came back, she saw a group of new educated youth standing listlessly in the yard.

After the new educated youth had packed up, they found that all the old educated youth were gone.

They didn't want to move things in the kitchen to avoid conflicts, so they left everything in the yard.

I looked at this unfamiliar environment curiously, my heart full of anticipation but also uneasiness.

Seeing her come back, Zhao Weidong took the initiative to greet her and said, "Hello, comrade. My name is Zhao Weidong. I'm a new educated youth. The educated youth here are not here, and we don't want to touch their things. Do you think we can bring some food to your place to cook a meal?"

Zhao Weidong is actually from the county town, but they left home early this morning.

I was delayed in the county town, and when I got to the commune, I was waiting for the educated youth from other places to gather. I didn't have time to eat and now I'm starving.

The other party had already spoken, and Jiang Yanqiu couldn't refuse. It was not easy for everyone to come here, so she said, "I'll live in the back, you guys can bring the food over."

The first meal that the original owner and his companions had when they first arrived was treated by Lin Shaoyang. Although they were given food later, it was much better than what this group of educated youth had. This was probably because of Gu Qingshi.

Seeing that she agreed, Tian Cheng also hurriedly said: "We don't have any food with us, so we can give you money and food coupons."

"I only have coarse grains. If you don't mind, just bring your lunch boxes."

She only had two bowls and a plate.

A group of people followed Jiang Yanqiu into the house. Although the house was nice, it was too simple and there was not even a table or stools.

Zhao Weidong saw a well in the yard, so he handed the food to Jiang Yanqiu and said, "Please help me cook it. Let's go wash up."

"There's hot water in the kettle. Pour it in yourself. If it's not enough, wait a minute and there will be more hot water. Here are some cucumbers and persimmons. Fill your stomachs first."

Jiang Yanqiu could understand their feelings very well. After all, the weather was hot and they must be feeling uncomfortable after driving all the way.

However, the water in their well is twenty meters deep, and the water is very cold when it is just drawn out. It is fine for boys, but definitely not for girls.

"Thank you."

Seeing that the three lunch boxes were filled with 85 noodles, Jiang Yanqiu simply decided to make noodles.

I have to go to work in the afternoon and don’t have time to make anything else. Noodles are the fastest to cook.

The noodles are not pure white flour, but mixed with corn flour.

Jiang Yu was the first to finish washing up and walked into the kitchen. He took the initiative to say, "Hello, my name is Jiang Yu. How can I help you?"

"Help me light the fire."

Jiang Yu and Jiang Yanqiu still remember that when they first came to the educated youth site, they were bullied. They couldn't fight back, so they called their brother to beat the guy up.

Therefore, like the original owner, he was isolated by all the educated youth until he left.

At that time, Jiang Yanqiu also asked the author if he had a grudge against people with the surname Jiang, and whether he wrote people with the surname Jiang as clowns.

"Okay." Jiang Yu didn't know how to light a fire, but the noodle cook said there were no strict requirements, just don't burn the fire too big and don't let it go out.

Jiang Yanqiu started to get busy. She made a dish of tomato and egg noodles, as well as a refreshing and delicious cold cucumber salad.

The new educated youth came back after washing up, and Tian Cheng walked up to Jiang Yanqiu with money in his hand.

"Hello, comrade. My name is Tian Cheng, and this is my sister Tian Mi. This is the money and food coupons for the two of us. Do you think it's enough? If not, we can add more."

"Let's talk about it later. I can't spare any money right now. However, if you have any extra industrial coupons, you can give them to me. It's better to keep the food coupons."

Jiang Yanqiu was a little surprised. She had originally thought that the two would be like what was described in the book: having money but still taking advantage of others.

I didn't expect them to be so proactive in offering money.

Of course, she didn't know that the Tian sisters wanted to establish a relationship with her and move in with her.

Tian Cheng said sweetly, "Okay."

After a while, a big pot of steaming noodles came out and Jiang Yanqiu invited everyone to come and eat.

There were no stools or tables, so the female educated youth ate while sitting on the edge of the kang, while the four male educated youth ate while sitting on the steps in the yard.

During the meal, several people introduced themselves to each other.

Xu Yan and Qin Yiheng, both 19 years old, came from Shanghai.

And Zhao Weidong and Jiang Yu from the county town, one is nineteen and the other is seventeen.

There is also Song Jianshe, fifteen years old, from the commune.

The Tian sisters are from the capital. Tian Cheng is twenty-one years old, and Tian Mi will be sixteen in a month.

Except for Jiang Yu, Xu Yan and Qin Yiheng, the others are all powerful characters in the book.

Xu Yan and Qin Yiheng are characters that do not appear in the book. At present, neither of them seems like someone who would cause trouble, but we will have to wait and see what the situation will be as they get along with each other in the future.

Jiang Yanqiu mostly remained silent and just listened to others talk.

When someone knew something about the educated youth camp, she would ask them to go to Lin Shaoyang, the educated youth team leader, without waiting for them to speak.

I saw that she didn't talk much and there was no useful information.

The others were too embarrassed to continue asking and wanted to wait until after dinner to find Lin Shaoyang to inquire about the relevant matters.

At this time, Tian Cheng suddenly said, "Jiang Zhiqing, can we move in with you? We will pay you rent in the future."

Jiang Yanqiu frowned and said seriously, "Your idea is not quite right! Collecting rent is a capitalist practice and is not advisable.

If you really want to live here, you could consider splitting the cost of building the house with me. My house originally cost 180 yuan, and I've only been here less than ten days. If you guys come and live here, we can share the cost.

But I advise you to find out more about my situation before making any decision. I had no choice but to move out."

Nowadays, renting a house privately is considered a capitalist behavior and may be used as an excuse to make trouble at any time.

Tian Cheng was a little hesitant. They were not short of money, but there was no need to waste money.

According to Jiang Yanqiu, if the sisters lived with her, they would have to share the cost of 120 yuan.

They didn't know how long they would have to stay in the countryside. Their families had promised them that if they could capture Gu Qingshi, they would help them complete the procedures to return to the city.

With this calculation, it's really a waste to spend 120 yuan to live here for a year or two.

It’s not that I can’t live in the front yard. I might as well use the money to improve myself and try to win Gu Qingshi’s favor as soon as possible.

Moreover, Jiang Yanqiu looks too thin, and it is obvious that her family conditions are not good.

I guess they had to build a house and move out because they had no choice.

If they lived together, would they eat simple meals with Jiang Yanqiu, or would they subsidize each other?

Both are definitely unclear.

At this time Lin Shaoyang walked in.

Jiang Yanqiu quickly introduced them, "This is Lin Shaoyang, the leader of our educated youth team. If you have any questions, you can go directly to him."

Lin Shaoyang scratched his head and said apologetically, "I'm so sorry, we didn't know you were coming, so we didn't prepare any food for you."

This time, Lin Shaoyang really didn't know that new educated youth were coming, and was caught off guard by Village Chief Zhao.

Zhao Weidong stood up and said, "We are sorry. You have been working hard all morning and we are causing you trouble."
