Daily life of female supporting actresses in the 1970s

Qiao Lei and her friend decided to exchange eggs at Aunt Qiao's house, as eggs were not readily available now.

The two went to exchange in the name of Lin Xiaomei.

Aunt Qiao's family didn't have twenty, so the two of them ended up exchanging for twelve.

After the two left Aunt Qiao's house, Aunt Qiao talked to her husband and said, "Lin Xiaomei was willing to exchange twelve eggs for food. It doesn't seem like her style."

Her husband said calmly, "It's not in vain that I took it from you."

Aunt Qiao was speechless...

Qiao Lei and Lin Xiaomei went to the village chief's house in the dark, and the village chief's family had not eaten dinner yet.

Wang Lanhua was sitting in the kitchen directing Li Ying to cook.

Work got off work early today, but every household had to work in their private plots until dark before they could go home.

Seeing the two people walk into the yard, Wang Lanhua's heart tightened, and she thought to herself: What are they doing here? These two people are not easy to mess with. Are they here to cause trouble?

Today, my old man came back from the educated youth camp with a gloomy face, and everyone started to ask about the situation curiously.

She did not hide anything and told the story of Lin Xiaomei and Qiao Lei's quarrel with her old man, and even added some exaggerations.

As soon as I thought of this, I started to feel uneasy, my eyes became sharp and alert, staring closely at the two people in front of me!

Qiao Lei couldn't help but feel a little confused, muttering to herself, has she fallen to such a state?

Why did even Wang Lanhua look at her with a hint of wariness?

When I went to Aunt Chen's house just now, I seemed to have a similar expression.

But Wang Lanhua shouldn't treat her like this. She had even given her half a pound of brown sugar before.

Although she was full of doubts, she still kept a smile on her face and said to Wang Lanhua kindly, "Aunt, is the village chief home?"

As the saying goes, don't hit someone with a smiling face.

Wang Lanhua saw Lin Zhiqing's smiling face and was relieved to know that the two men were not here to cause trouble.

"I'm here, come in and sit down." Then he shouted towards the inner room, "Old man, someone is coming home!"

The reason why no one came was because they were worried that the neighbors would make speculations after hearing about it.

Qiao Lei and Lin Xiaomei followed Wang Lanhua into the big house, feeling uneasy.

I just had a fight with the village chief today, and now the atmosphere is a bit awkward when we meet.

Lin Xiaomei usually only speaks harshly when she is arguing with others.

Now in this situation, she was completely dumbfounded, hiding behind Qiao Lei like a frightened quail.

"What brings you two here so late?"

The village chief comforted himself in his heart that he was already very old and there was really no need to bother with two little girls.

Just as Lin Shaoyang said, if he really argued with these two people, he would be the only one who would be angry.

The group of old women in the village were no match for the two of them, let alone their own.

So he tried to calm himself down and asked.

Qiao Lei gently placed the egg in her hand on the table and said softly in her soft voice, "At noon today, Comrade Lin and I may have been too harsh in our words to you. After thinking about it carefully, we should never have done that in front of so many people. We are so disrespectful to you. I hope the village chief will not take it to heart.

I hope you don't mind. We were so impatient that we misunderstood you. You are a magnanimous person, and you should not be bothered with us two ignorant little girls!

When the village chief heard these flowery words, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch a few times. He was sure that there must be something going on between the two of them.

I thought these two girls were really adaptable.

When he asks you for help, he smiles so brightly, his mouth is as sweet as honey, and when he scolds you, he is merciless.

Before the village chief could speak, Wang Lanhua's anger immediately disappeared as soon as she saw the eggs.

She quickly spoke first, "This girl from the city is so nice to talk to. Qiao knows your village uncle best. He's old, and sometimes his words may not be very clear, but it's definitely not directed at you."

You two little girls, please don't take it to heart. In fact, we are all forced by those people in the commune. They arrange so many educated youth for our village all the time, and there is no place for them to live in this village. It is really a headache."

Qiao Lei couldn't help but admire Wang Lanhua. Her words were so perfect.

Not only did he explain on behalf of the village chief, but he also put all the blame on the commune.

This way, they no longer have to worry about the village chief holding a grudge against them.

Seeing the village head and his wife pretending to be worried, Qiao Lei also sighed, "This is really worrying..."

Lin Xiaomei stared at them in confusion: What are you worried about?

Just then, the sound of cooking could be heard from inside the house. Qiao Lei stood up and said, "Uncle, aunt, we have to go back too. The pot is still cooking. If we don't go back soon, it will dry up."

"Oh, we have to go back and check it quickly, don't burn the pot. Don't go out at night in the future, it's not safe for a little girl."

Wang Lanhua also looked anxious, and then picked up the cloth bag containing the eggs.

"Take this back and think of us as nothing. You need something to cook at home."

Qiao Lei quickly declined, "Aunt, this is also a token of our appreciation. You can keep it for the children at home."

"How about that...take it back quickly."

After several excuses, the village chief coughed and interrupted, "Take it back quickly. What do you take me for?"

Wang Lanhua's grip tightened noticeably, but she still handed the egg to Qiao Lei.

The village chief's words showed that he no longer cared about the two of them.

Of course, Qiao Lei couldn't really take all the eggs away, so she and Wang Lanhua pushed it back and forth for several times.

Finally, twelve eggs were left behind, and Qiao Lei and the other person trotted out of the village chief's house.

After everyone left, Wang Lanhua said to the village chief, "I think these two girls are the only ones who know how to handle things in this educated youth center."

The village chief listened silently, but muttered to himself, "If other educated youth were like them, there would be much less trouble in the village."

Although the two of them definitely had other requests for him, he did it regardless of whether he apologized or not, which was indeed more practical than other educated youth.

The other educated youth would only come to visit when they needed him.

When they reached the cornfield, Lin Xiaomei finally regained her energy. The first thing she said was, "Why didn't you bring a flashlight?"

Qiao Lei rolled her eyes at her and said, "Hold a flashlight. Are you afraid that others won't know we're here to apologize?"

Lin Xiaomei retorted disapprovingly, "How can you be that smart?"

Qiao Lei shook her head helplessly and responded, "It's always better to be cautious."

Lin Xiaomei thought so too, and said, "I didn't expect you to be so eloquent. Not bad, not bad. I guess you can get away with this with the village chief, right?"

"Well, unlike you, you're just good at it. Normally, it should be over!" As long as the village chief doesn't act crazy...

Lin Xiaomei said with some heartache, "Oh, six eggs! I shouldn't have said anything. Look at Gu Qingqing and Jiang Yanqiu. They're so smart. They never challenged the village chief from beginning to end. They both have more food than us. If they need to help the new educated youth, they should help them. Why should we be so impulsive?"

Qiao Lei was momentarily upset. She had acted impulsively...
