Daily life of female supporting actresses in the 1970s

On the second day of February, the dragon raises its head, and Jiang Zhenzhu gets married!

Her husband Tiejun is three years younger than her. He is the son of Jiang Anhua’s comrade-in-arms and was also sent down to the countryside before.

They were not sent down to the countryside as educated youth, but sent down to farms for reform.

After graduating from university, he was assigned to work at the Transportation Bureau, and he and Jiang Zhenzhu became a couple with the help of their superiors.

Tiejun is not tall, but he has a handsome appearance. He doesn't talk much and is hardworking, but he has a straightforward personality.

It was probably because of this personality that he was demoted.

Later, when the parents of the two families met, they discovered that Tiejun's father and Jiang Anhua were old comrades-in-arms.

The day before the wedding, Jiang Yanqiu and Chu Tingnan went to the Jiang family in advance to help.

As a result, as soon as the two of them reached the door, the little hairtail saw them and slammed the door shut.

Then he yelled at the top of his lungs, "Grandpa, the flower thief is here again!"

Jiang Yanqiu glared at Chu Tingnan speechlessly. He was really disliked wherever he went.

Now even a five-year-old kid is looked down upon.

Ever since Chu Tingnan came to the Jiang family to help renovate the door, he would take away a potted plant of flowers every day when he went back, and sometimes he would even pick an orchid to take away.

These flowers were all planted by Jiang Anhua. It didn't take long for him to pull out most of Jiang Anhua's potted plants with good flowers.

Jiang Anhua didn't say anything, but Xiao Daiyu was unhappy.

All those beautiful flowers were taken away by her uncle, so she had nothing to look at.

Also, her family didn't allow her to pick flowers at will, but her third uncle picked them whenever he wanted and didn't get scolded.

She was scolded as soon as she picked it, so she disliked her third uncle.

So now, whenever Xiao Daiyu sees Chu Tingnan coming, he quickly closes the door, for fear that he will come and harm the flowers again.

The main reason is that Chu Tingnan can pick it but she can’t, and she feels sad!

Chu Tingnan felt aggrieved when he saw Jiang Yanqiu glaring at him: "You can't blame me for this. It's all because Dad planted too few varieties that bloom this season."

Jiang Yanqiu didn't argue with him because she couldn't win.

There were not many potted plants that bloomed in the winter, so there was not enough for him to pick, and she felt wronged.

After Jiang Zhenzhu got married, Jiang Anhua’s flower shop also opened!

Although the flow of people in their alley is not large, it is not far from the alley entrance, and they distributed flyers everywhere in advance.

On the first day of opening, there were quite a lot of people coming. When Haimen opened early in the morning, there were already many people standing at the door.

Why? Because there’s a Clivia on the flyer!

There are real Clivias. There are twelve pots in total, including two pots of white flowers and two pots of blue flowers.

Chu Tingnan took one look and whispered to Jiang Yanqiu, "Dad is really wary of me. I've never seen his Clivia before. I even asked him about it, and he said he gave it away, but now he's selling it."

Jiang Yanqiu said jokingly, "Who told you to have a philandering thief at home? The flowers he has are not enough for you to pick, so you have to be careful."

Chu Tingnan said sarcastically, "Don't accuse me of this. I only plucked your flower. How can I be considered a flower thief?"

Jiang Yanqiu rolled her eyes at her and said, "Do you want to pick some more?"

Chu Tingnan said seriously, "I'm very picky and very loyal. I only like you and I don't like anyone else."

Jiang Yanqiu said unhappily, "Slippery tongue."

"Thank you for the compliment, wife."

After opening the shop door, a group of people rushed towards the Clivia, jogging, fearing that it would be snatched away by others if they were too busy.

Fortunately, the Clivia was placed in a separate storefront, otherwise the other potted plants would have been in trouble.

This group of people didn't care whether the boss Jiang Anhua agreed or not, and started bidding for the Clivia. Two of them even started arguing in the middle.

Half an hour later, Jiang Anhua said "yes" twice and nothing else.

Two pots of Clivia with white flowers and two pots of yellow flowers were bought by someone at a sky-high price of 60,000 yuan.

The other Clivias were also bought one after another, and the cheapest one was eight hundred yuan.

Twelve pots of Clivia were sold for a total of 80,600.

Not to mention Jiang Anhua, even Jiang Yanqiu and Chu Tingnan were so shocked that they couldn't close their mouths.

They all knew that Chuncheng was very popular with Clivia, but they didn't expect that the capital was also so crazy about it.

A three-courtyard house was finally acquired.

Jiang Yanqiu said to Chu Tingnan: "I am just a country boy."

She knew that Clivia was valuable, but she didn't expect it to be so valuable.

There are so many details to consider, and the prices vary so much.

Chu Tingnan agreed and said, "Me too. If I had known earlier, I would have brought back two more pots of Clivia from Dad. I would have become rich."

Jiang Yanqiu: ...

The few people were shocked for a while, and then started to get busy again. After the Clivias were sold out, the people who came turned their attention to other varieties of orchids.

Jiang Anhua grows many varieties of orchids, and Jiang Yanqiu knows seven or eight varieties of Phalaenopsis.

The prices of various orchids are not cheap either, ranging from a few yuan to dozens of yuan, or even hundreds of yuan.

Orchids are so popular that all the orchids in the yard were sold out in just one day.

They were all bought by people who came for the Clivia. It seems that they really like orchids.

Other flowers also sold quite a lot.

After closing the shop at night, Jiang Anhua started counting the money. He counted it three times and still couldn't believe it.

Apart from the 80,600 yuan earned from selling the Clivia, the rest actually earned more than 3,500 yuan, which is ten years' salary for an ordinary worker!

No wonder so many people want to quit their jobs and start their own business now. The money comes so quickly!

Chu Tingnan interrupted his sweet dream and said, "Don't be too happy too soon. Today is the first day of opening, and many people came here just to see the Clivia. There won't be so many people tomorrow, and there aren't any valuable potted plants in your yard."

Jiang Anhua didn't bother to pay him any attention. He handed out the money and said, "Everyone has worked hard today. I will give everyone a salary. Adults will get 200 yuan, and children will get 100 yuan."

Everyone took the money happily without hesitation.

The little hairtail suddenly popped up and said, "It's all Third Uncle's fault, otherwise Grandpa could have sold it for a lot of money."

Chu Tingnan teased her, "Why do you blame me? I work very hard."

The little hairtail glared at him and said, "People only buy the blooming ones. You've moved all of Grandpa's blooming ones, and there won't be any left to sell."

It’s true. The most sold item today is orchid. Now is the season when orchids bloom.

Jiang Yanqiu smiled and said, "Little Hairtail is amazing. He has such good observation skills. He will definitely be a scout like your father in the future."

When Jiang Yanqiu praised him, the little guy smiled shyly.

Chu Tingnan teased her deliberately and said, "Little Hairtail, where does your grandfather keep all his other flowers? Take your third uncle to see them. Tomorrow he will take you to buy a big doll."

The little guy glared and snorted, "I don't want to be a traitor."

Everyone laughed out loud because of her fun!

Jiang Mingzhu said enviously, "Little cotton-padded jacket is still the best!"

Everyone felt a little sympathy for Jiang Mingzhu as they watched the twins fighting over the remote control.

Children aged seven or eight are at their most annoying, and she has two of them at home.

Those who don't give in to each other and don't fight every day are not real brothers.

Jiang Mingzhu used to have a very good personality, but she is actually a powder keg. She wants to explode when she sees two people fighting, but now she pretends not to see it.

Fortunately, the eldest son is sensible.

The next day, Jiang Yanqiu did not go to the Jiang family to help, but Chu Tingnan went again!

When he came back, he was holding a pot of daffodils and muttering, "Dad is always on guard against me. Today he brought back a lot of orchids to sell in the store. He's really afraid that I will take them."

Nan Wanwu said helplessly, "How dare you say that? Look at how much you brought back, and you just leave it alone. It was so full of life when you brought it back. If it weren't for our careful care, it would have died in two days."

Chu Tingnan said with a playful smile: "It's not that you don't give me a chance. How can I ignore it if you don't care?"

Nan Wanwu was completely speechless, and finally said angrily: "You can move some to your father's store and sell them later. We don't have time to serve you."

Nan Wanwu was telling the truth, so Chu Tingnan just moved the things back and left them alone.

Having too many flowers is a hassle, and the nanny at home doesn't know how to take care of them. She doesn't do anything except wipe the dust off, so Nan Wanwu has to do everything by herself.

Sometimes she didn't want to care, but she just couldn't help it.

Chu Tingnan said with a smile: "Let's talk about it later."

Then he asked Jiang Yanqiu: "Wife, do you know where Dad's flowers are? In his new yard. Why didn't I see them when I went to build the greenhouse?"

Jiang Yanqiu reminded him: "We haven't been to Big Sister's house for a long time, right?"

It goes without saying that Jiang Anhua's decision was not a spur-of-the-moment one.

He must have inquired about the market a long time ago, otherwise how could he have so many pots of Clivia?

However, what Jiang Anhua grows is not enough to sell for long.

Jiang Mingzhu and her husband are both civil servants with low salaries, which puts a lot of pressure on their three sons.

However, the yard was big and there was a dragon in the house, so they lived in the middle yard by themselves.

The three children sleep in one room, and the other rooms are empty, which is perfect for planting flowers.

Jiang Mingzhu's job is also easy. It's no problem to grow some flowers. She can then sell them to Jiang Anhua and earn some extra income.

Chu Tingnan immediately perked up when he heard this: "Right, let's go chat with my brother-in-law now. It's been a while since I last saw him."

Jiang Yanqiu was too lazy to join him in the fun, so she didn't go.

When Chu Tingnan came back, he was holding two pots of purple Phalaenopsis orchids.

The smug look on his face was just like a rooster that had won a fight.

Chu Tingnan was just too idle, so he teased Jiang Anhua on purpose.

When taking the potted plants, he deliberately took expensive flowers, but Jiang Anhua didn't care at all.

After a long time, no one took him seriously and just took the pots of flowers he wanted.

Then only Xiao Daiyu paid attention to him. Xiao Daiyu was envious and jealous of Chu Tingnan.

She can't even pick the flowers she "helps" take care of, so why can her third uncle take whatever he wants?

With no one to accompany him, Chu Tingnan felt it was boring to play by himself, so he stopped.

So I sent the extra flowers at home to Jiang Anhua to sell.

If he is not sent back, Nan Wanwu will really beat him up. The rooms where people live are almost full.

It’s too cold in the unoccupied room, and I’m afraid the flowers will freeze to death.
