Daily life of female supporting actresses in the 1970s

Lin Shaoyang then said to Jiang Yanqiu, "Jiang Zhiqing, can you share some food with the new educated youth for two meals? If there really is no food in the village, I will find a way."

Jiang Yanqiu said readily, "Why not? I can treat everyone to two meals. But I'm curious: when we first arrived, the village immediately prepared food for us—pure corn grits. Later, I went to 'borrow' food twice more, and Accountant Li borrowed 30 kilograms each time, saying he'd come back if it ran out. It's only been a short time, just over a week, and the warehouse is already empty."

In fact, the three local educated youth had brought some rations with them, so they had enough food for these two meals.

Wang Haiyang echoed, "That's true. The villagers said the same thing when I went to 'borrow' food. Unless there are special circumstances, you can borrow 30 kilograms of food every month. It's impossible for them to run out of food so quickly, right?"

Qiao Lei sighed inwardly. What happened at noon had gotten out of hand, and Lin Xiaomei had to take the blame.

Everyone was not stupid. After listening to what the two said, they immediately understood that Lin Xiaomei and Qiao Lei had offended the village chief today, which was why he was unwilling to lend them food.

Especially Lin Shaoyang and Liu Yuanda, their eyes changed when they looked at Lin Xiaomei.

Lin Shaoyang also figured out why he felt weird just now, but he didn't think about it that way.

Finally, he sighed and said to Jiang Yanqiu, "The new educated youth will still eat your food tonight. I'll go to the village chief's house after dinner to ask."

As soon as she finished speaking, Gu Qingqing suggested, "Let's all have dinner together tonight and get to know each other. I have some bacon here so we can have a snack. We've all come here from all corners of the world, it's fate! Let's all make progress together, work hard together, contribute to the new socialist countryside, and build a beautiful home together!"

Gu Qingqing also had her own ideas in mind. The educated youth who came this time were all dressed quite well, so their conditions should not be bad.

Make friends with them, maybe they will come in handy in the future, these are all connections for future business!

She had originally wanted to suggest having lunch together at noon, but she got so angry at the Tian sisters that she forgot about it.

Although she couldn't stand what the Tian sisters did, she couldn't give up on the other educated youth because of them.

Qiao Lei thought the same thing and immediately said, "Then I'll give you some rice."

In the afternoon, she had heard Jiang Yanqiu and Zhao Lanlan say that one of the educated youth came from the commune and two came from the county town.

The Tian sisters and the other two educated youth from Shanghai will not know each other after they leave here, so it would be better for them to maintain good relationships with the people nearby.

If they can be assigned to a place nearby, there must be someone there. These three people cannot be underestimated.

Even a powerful dragon cannot defeat a local snake. Qiao Lei felt that it would be best to befriend these three. If she encountered difficulties in the future, she might be able to ask them for help.

Even if you can't make friends, don't make things too awkward. It's good if everyone doesn't interfere with each other!

The main reason is that it seems like they have offended the village chief!

The villagers no longer lend food to the new educated youth, so don't offend them before you even start.

Although she didn't necessarily have to make friends with the educated youth, it would not be good for her to offend everyone.

Seeing that both of them had brought out good things, Tian Cheng said, not wanting to be outdone, "We don't have any food yet, so we brought some garlic sausages and canned meat to supplement our meal. Please don't be disgusted."

Although Tian Cheng was a little reluctant, in order to leave a good impression in front of Gu Qingshi, she couldn't be worse than Gu Qingqing.

They brought a lot of canned meat, but they were planning to use it to get close to Gu Qingshi in the future, and they themselves were reluctant to eat it.

In order not to be outdone by Gu Qingqing and Qiao Lei, she could only bear the pain and take out some to share with everyone. She also held the reluctant Tian Mi and stopped her from speaking.

Qin Yiheng and Xu Yan took canned beef and canned luncheon meat to supplement their meals.

Since everyone contributes things, there is naturally no question of borrowing food from anyone. Those who don't take anything can contribute food and vegetables.

Gu Qingqing took a piece of bacon weighing about two kilograms, Qiao Lei brought seven or eight kilograms of rice, and Jiang Yanqiu took eight eggs.

The meal was cooked in the front yard. The backyard was full of vegetable gardens. The room couldn't accommodate so many people, so they had to make do in the yard.

Everyone worked together in the evening. Qiao Lei thought she was a good cook, so she took the initiative to cook, and the others helped out.

It was still early for dinner, so Lin Shaoyang took the new educated youth to find the village cadres to find out what was going on.

The new educated youth were not there, so Lin Xiaomei asked, "Jiang Yanqiu, what did they give you when they had dinner at your place today?"

Jiang Yanqiu didn't hide anything and said honestly, "More than two kilograms of 85 grams of flour, and 9.5 industrial coupons."

"What?" Lin Xiaomei exclaimed, feeling more regretful than before. The educated youth who had come before were not so generous.

Zhao Lanlan also regretted it very much. If she had known earlier, she would have provided food to treat the new educated youth to a meal.

With so many industrial coupons, it would be enough to exchange for 20 kilograms of grain in the village, not to mention that people also took the grain.

Qiao Lei didn't expect that the meal in the book was very unpleasant between the new and old educated youth, but in the end, Jiang Yanqiu gave them food and tickets.

They didn't even think about the fact that every time a new educated youth came, Lin Xiaomei would jump up and down to give them a warning.

This is not allowed, that is not allowed, and you keep pointing fingers. You have accused others of being freeloaders, so why should they give you anything?

Moreover, this group of new educated youth were not short of money and even had some power. They were all spoiled at home and each one had a worse temper than the other.

As soon as they arrived, the old educated youth gave them a show of force. How could they not be angry?

Saying that we ate for free and then giving us food and tickets is just a slap in the face of you old educated youth.

Is it free food if you give them food and coupons? If you give them food and coupons and then ask for the pot, you're losing out.

Lin Shaoyang took the new educated youth to the home of Village Chief Zhao to inquire about food.

As a result, the village chief was still in the brigade office, so a group of people ran to the village office, and several village cadres in charge were there.

Village Chief Zhao looked at them and didn't continue to hesitate. He said straight to the point: "Xiao Lin, it's not that I don't want to give you food, I'm just really disappointed!

You are the latest educated youth to come to our brigade. You know what kind of people we are over the years. Even though our own people in the village were starving, we never treated you educated youth badly!

How much food do you have? How can I not know? You don't even have enough to eat yourselves, so how can you give extra subsidies to other educated youth?

Accountant Li also said: "If we were to seize your food and houses like the landlords, we would be able to say it out loud.

The higher-ups are investigating very strictly now. If this gets out, how can we continue to live our lives? If we are reported, we might end up having to eat peanuts!

Don't you know how many brigade cadres and officials who abused educated youth have been arrested in the past few months? We are really heartbroken that such a big accusation has been put on us for no reason."
