Daily life of female supporting actresses in the 1970s

With Jiang Anhua's flower shop taking the lead, several other shops followed suit, selling other things, and several others joined the same group.

Gradually, the flow of people in the alley increased, and people came and went all day long.

When Jiang Anhua was busy with business, Yun Yinian and Jiang Mingzhu would come and help her manage it when they had time.

When the two of them don't have time, neighbors will come to help Jiang Anhua.

As for Lu Yunxia, ​​she is still the same, just doing her own thing and recently learned how to knit sweaters.

Apart from eating and sleeping, her life consists of knitting sweaters, making shoes, and finding someone to play mahjong.

Jiang Anhua took out the shoes made by Lu Yunxia and set up a special shoe stall at the door.

When Lu Yunxia wasn't out playing mahjong, she and Jiang Anhua stayed in the shop, knitting sweaters and making shoes. She didn't help out, but kept her eyes on the shoe stall.

There are a lot of people on Sundays, so it is inevitable that some people will be dishonest and their shoes will be stolen accidentally.

You know what, she actually caught several people who wanted to take the shoes without paying.

Jiang Yuzhu and Jiang Yanqiu complained, "I'm starting to wonder if Mom is just pretending. You might say she's confused, but sometimes she's very smart."

Catch her and torture her every time!

Jiang Yanqiu suppressed her laughter and said seriously, "That's because Mom cares about you. She wouldn't care about people who don't care. Look at us, she doesn't care about us either."

Jiang Yuzhu said angrily: "Have you ever seen anyone care about you? They don't give you food, but slap you in the face."

Then he left angrily!

The others couldn't help but burst out laughing, and Jiang Yuzhu was slapped in the face for bumping into Lu Yunxia.

When business was not busy, Jiang Anhua would sit at the door and tell people stories about the war. At first, many people listened to his stories.

After a long time, not many people listened to it anymore because they got tired of it.

Secondly, the policies are good now, and every household is like him, converting the back house into a storefront to sell things.

Or you can set up a small stall in front of your house and sell peanuts, melon seeds, calligraphy and paintings, etc.

After a long time, is it true that where there is a market there will be traffic?

The alley has an increasing flow of people and business is getting better and better.

Those who had nothing to do saw the business opportunity and broke through the walls to do business. Even those who didn't have shops set up stalls on the street.

Everyone is busy with business, so how can they have time to listen to Jiang Anhua's stories?

Even Aunt Ma's family converted several rooms into shops, and she sold tea eggs and meat patties in one of them.

But there are small vendors everywhere in front of their house, selling all kinds of things.

Jiang Yanqiu and her friends came several times, and every time Jiang Anhua hadn't finished speaking.

He left, and every time I saw him rubbing his eyes.

Jiang Yanqiu and the others were also feeling unhappy, as they knew that Jiang Anhua was feeling very depressed.

Thinking of Jiang Anhua, his life was so hard when he was young.

After finally making a name for himself in the army, he was dragged down by his family and had no choice but to retire.

Look at him now, which of his comrades who are still alive is not full of vigor and vitality?

Only he, who was also outstanding when he was in the army, and finally became the director of the logistics department, was persuaded to resign.

Yes, Jiang Anhua was persuaded to withdraw, and Lin Shaoyang only told Jiang Yanqiu and others about this recently.

Since the incident of loss of war zone supplies in 1979, the Ministry of Public Security has replaced many senior officials.

People advised Jiang Anhua to retire early due to illness, but Jiang Anhua refused to agree.

No one said much, they just sidelined him and left him at work with nothing more than reading newspapers and drinking tea.

Until the first batch of college students graduated after the resumption of the college entrance examination.

People told him directly to give the opportunity to talented young people so that they would have a better chance to contribute to the country.

It was also said that Jiang Anhua was able to become minister not because he really had the ability, but because he donated too much.

Otherwise, how can someone who has never even read a book become a minister?

In the end, Jiang Anhua had no choice but to retire due to illness and give the opportunity to those "talented" young people.

At the beginning, Jiang Anhua wanted to die together with the Japanese several times. He just wanted to prove that he was still useful and wanted to be a hero for the last time.

When Jiang Yanqiu found out, she felt very uncomfortable because Jiang Anhua had always worked so hard.

He has never been to school for a day, but now he can even do advanced mathematics and calculus. However, in the eyes of others, he is still an illiterate.

In order to force him to vacate his position, all his efforts were negated by the mere mention of a donation.

How many people like Jiang Anhua are there in the whole of China?

Jiang Yanqiu didn't know, and he didn't know how to comfort Jiang Anhua.

Jiang Anhua likes to tell stories to people now, isn’t he also reminiscing about the glorious moments in the past?

All Jiang Yanqiu could do was to listen to Jiang Anhua when she had nothing to do.

Once, after Jiang Yanqiu and the others had finished listening to him, Chu Tingnan commented, "Dad, the way you tell the story is so boring and a waste of time."

Jiang Anhua said angrily: "I didn't force you to listen."

Chu Tingnan said: "I'm not disgusted by your poor speaking skills, I'm saying that if you speak like this, not many people will listen, and it's a waste of time.

Such a wonderful story should be written into an article and published in newspapers, or published as a book, so that people all over the country and even the world can know about it. They will definitely be very interested.

This will not only let people know about the heroes who silently sacrificed for the people, but you might even earn some royalties.”

Jiang Anhua glared at him and said angrily, "You feel uncomfortable if you don't tease me for a day, right? I can't even read a few words, how can I write?"

Chu Tingnan said seriously, "We don't know whether you can read or not. How can we know if you don't try? You have to write down your story and the stories of your comrades, so that the whole world can know and their sacrifice will not be in vain."

Jiang Anhua was silent and didn't say anything!

However, about a month later, Jiang Anhua asked Chu Tingnan hesitantly how to submit his article.

Chu Tingnan laughed heartily before saying, "Just give me your manuscript and I'll submit it for you. If the newspaper can't contact you, you can come find me and I'll talk to you."

Jiang Anhua was a little reluctant, but still gave the manuscript to Chu Tingnan reluctantly.

Chu Tingnan originally wanted to take it and revise it for him before submitting it.

He didn't really want Jiang Anhua to write anything, he just wanted him to find something to do so that he wouldn't be thinking about random things all day long.

If there was no newspaper to publish his work, Chu Tingnan decided to start his own newspaper and publish his work for his father-in-law.

After reading it, he found that Jiang Anhua's writing style was really good, much better than he had imagined.

After reading it, she handed the manuscript to Jiang Yanqiu and said, "As expected of someone who sits in an office and reads newspapers every day, the writing style is really amazing. And the handwriting is much better than yours."

When Jiang Yanqiu saw the title, her eyes became moist because the title was: "My Life as a Young Man"

The opening is:

"I am a descendant of the royal family. When I was little, my mother often told my brothers and sisters that if the Qing Dynasty still existed, we would be respected princes and princesses.

My mother said that my family used to have a big house, and the servants who lived in the servants' quarters had to get up before dawn, otherwise they would miss their shifts.

In order to make up for the regret in her heart, my mother has always raised my sister as a princess, and our whole family is working hard for my sister to live the life of a princess.

I started pulling a rickshaw when I was less than ten years old. I was tired after a whole day, but the money I earned was not enough to buy my sister a piece of high-end snack.

I wasn't even thirteen when my mother sold me to the Japanese as a soldier for twenty dollars. The reason was that my stubborn sister wanted to eat Western cakes..."

He did not use his real name, but wrote in the first person, starting from the time when Jin Yuhuan sold him to the Japanese as a laborer, and continued until he was chased by the Japanese and fell into the river.

I have to say that he is quite good at writing novels. He wrote about what he saw and heard when he was a laborer, as well as the experiences of his companions, and left everyone with a suspense at the end.

In just six months of life in the concentration camp, he wrote more than 80,000 words. Every word was as precious as gold, without a single word of nonsense.

The story is also very attractive, and the more you watch it, the more you want to watch it. The life of the laborers, which is worse than that of pigs and dogs, makes people cry.

It was once a nightmare for many Chinese people.

Jiang Yanqiu felt that Jiang Anhua must have recalled and sorted out these things frequently, so he wrote them so smoothly.

Chu Tingnan did not make any changes and sent the novel to the newspaper the next day. Jiang Anhua was also happy that it was published.

Later, I thought about it and sent another copy to the publishing house.

Unexpectedly, both the publishing house and the newspaper called to say that they were interested in publishing it.

Chu Tingnan didn't know if they could be published at the same time, so he asked around.

Finally he came to his senses and realized that he had invested in one company!

One is People's Daily and the other is People's Publishing House, both are the same company.

The decision is in their hands, let them discuss it themselves.

Chu Tingnan said that he was too lazy to run errands for Jiang Anhua, and without Jiang Yanqiu knowing, he even paid for a telephone to be installed for the Jiang family out of his own pocket.

The Jiang family actually couldn't afford to install a telephone, but they felt that there were not many calls to make and were too lazy to install one. A phone costs several thousand yuan and is not used often.

Things are different now. The newspaper always calls Jiang Anhua to communicate about manuscripts, and the phone is used more often.

Chu Tingnan was trying to find ways to subsidize his father-in-law's family, but what he said was a bit annoying.

Jiang Yanqiu didn't say anything, but she was very touched in her heart.

Although Chu Tingnan always looks unreliable, he has always been very careful.

Knowing that Jiang Yanqiu was still feeling uncomfortable because of what happened in the past and was embarrassed to openly subsidize the Jiang family, he took the initiative to take care of everything.

A few thousand dollars is nothing to them, but it is a huge sum of money to the Jiang family!

It was decided to serialize Jiang Anhua's manuscript online first and then publish it as a book.

The royalties were first paid for the serialized part. After learning about Jiang Anhua's situation, they gave him a royalty of 12 yuan per thousand words.

This is a lot. Even a well-known writer like Xu Yan, who frequently publishes articles and novels, only gets this much in royalties.

The royalties were remitted directly to Jiang Anhua, nearly one thousand yuan.

Jiang Anhua was so happy when he received the thousand yuan that he was even happier than when he got the huge sum of money from selling the Clivia.

In his own words, he never dreamed that a rough guy like him would be able to make money through culture one day.

On the night he received the royalties, Jiang Anhua clamored to treat his family to a meal.
