Daily life of female supporting actresses in the 1970s

Everyone was chatting, and Tian Mi ran over to ask Aunt Chen: "Aunt Chen, where are your braised chicken and goose?"

Some villagers said, "They were sold out as soon as they arrived. How could any of them have survived until now?"

Aunt Chen also smiled and said, "I can't handle it all by myself. I make ten of each kind, and they are all sold out as soon as they arrive."

Tian Mi asked again: "Where are your children?"

Aunt Chen has five children. Doesn’t she need help?

Aunt Chen said cheerfully, "Thanks to you, they all went to college or work in other places and are not at home."

If the educated youth had not taken the lead in learning, they would not have known how important learning is.

Later, with the financial support of the educated youth, many young people in the village were admitted to university.

After talking for a while, we finally decided that there were too many people buying food and we didn’t want to delay everyone’s business.

Lin Shaoyang said that they were going to the market, so he asked everyone to go back to business and talk in the evening. Then everyone dispersed.

As for Xu Yan and Tian Mi, just like the first time they went to the market, they wanted to buy everything they saw, and the most purchased items were peanuts and melon seeds.

There are so many things sold in the market now, including wild, domestic and industrial products. It is so lively.

When he came back after shopping, all the food at Aunt Chen's stall had been sold out.

The things have been put on the donkey, and we are just waiting for Jiang Yanqiu and the others.

The other families had also packed up, and Jiang Yanqiu and the others helped to pull the luggage, and everyone walked back.

Yue Jiayu looked at the donkey riding backwards curiously and asked, "Why is this tricycle still being ridden backwards?"

Aunt Chen laughed: "I don't know, it looked like this when they sold it, so we bought it like this."

Tian Mi puffed out her chest and explained confidently, "I know that. They're definitely afraid their things will be stolen. If they're riding in front and their things are behind, they won't even know if they've been stolen."

Liu Yuanda burst out laughing and explained, "It's very cold in the Northeast in winter, and the roads are often icy. This reverse-riding donkey design is safer on icy roads!"

Because it has two steering wheels in the front and a single drive wheel in the rear, the person pedaling the bike can better use the strength of his arms to control the direction.

Also, riding a donkey is very flexible, and it’s very convenient when navigating narrow alleys or crossing bridges!”

Tian Mi: ...

The others couldn't help but burst out laughing, but it was not impossible to prevent theft.

The group of people chatted and laughed as they arrived at the Shanshui Brigade, gossiping about what happened in the past along the way.

He also talked about how last year when Zhao Guizhong came back to celebrate the New Year, his family asked him what he had been doing all those years.

He said that he was deceived into working in an illegal factory, and was released only after the factory was investigated.

His ex-wife has been taking care of the child and has not remarried. Now the couple is doing business in the city.

Jiang Yanqiu and the others were a little confused. Did Zhao Guizhong come back because he knew that Qiao Lei had passed away?

So what role did he play in Qiao Lei's affairs?

But this issue is none of their business.

The road was not short. Chen Tao and Yue Jiayu at the back could not walk anymore, so they also sat on the donkey.

The houses in the village are not much different from those in the past, except that many families have moved into brick and tile houses.

There are a lot more families here, and it seems that quite a few young people are getting married.

The mountains are all planted with trees, and there are more rice fields by the river than houses.

The former educated youth site has been converted into a village guesthouse. There is also a piece of field that is an experimental field of the Agricultural Science Institute. People often come here to study, so it is more convenient to have a guesthouse.

The main reason was that after the educated youth site was vacated, this family wanted the land and that family also wanted it, and later they started arguing with each other.

After the brigade discussed it, they decided not to give it to anyone and just turn it into a guesthouse.

They also demolished the two houses of Gu Qingqing and Qiao Lei in the front yard and built a brick and tile house for car repairs.

When Jiang Yanqiu and her friends came, they had a place to stay, so Jiang Yanqiu took Chu Tingnan and the two children to see where she used to live.

After walking around the front and back yards, Chu Tingnan said, "I'm wondering why you'll be implicated in Li An'an's case sooner or later. You live in such a nice house in the countryside. Who would want to live in a small, crappy house like that when they return to the city?"

Jiang Yanqiu said proudly: "You can just be envious."

Chu Tingnan smiled and said, "I'm not envious. It takes so much time to clean such a big house. I'm tired enough from working, so how can I have time to clean the house?

The only thing I envied was having a bathroom. At that time, if we wanted to take a shower in winter, we had to exchange tickets and go to the district to take a shower. We could only take a shower once a month. If we were lucky, we could exchange an extra ticket and take a shower twice. Some people didn't take a shower the whole winter.

Zeng Hua couldn't stand it that year, so he paid a high price to buy bath tickets and invited all the male educated youth to take a bath.

Jiang Yanqiu was even more proud after hearing this and said, "You still have something to envy. I have a fire wall here, so I can wash every day in winter."

Chu Tingnan said, "Aren't you tired of washing and collecting firewood every day?"

Jiang Yanqiu said: "The female educated youth also come to my place to wash and bring firewood. They have male educated youth to help collect firewood, so there will always be more, not less."

Chu Tingnan said: "Okay, but your place is indeed better than ours, with mountains, and if you work hard, you will not lack firewood.

We had to walk a long way to collect firewood, and the firewood was distributed by the production team. Most of it was corn stalks. When it ran out, we had to find something else to do. We were often woken by the cold in the middle of the night.

Jiang Yanqiu said, "Then I'll take you to the mountains to play tomorrow."

The two returned to the front yard, where Secretary Wang, Team Leader Tian, ​​and Accountant Li were all there.

They have retired since the land responsibility contracting.

Every family contracted paddy fields and orchards, and also planted various kinds of mushrooms. Every family was very busy.

If Lin Shaoyang and the others hadn't come, they wouldn't have time to come and sit down.

After a few casual chats, a few people sat down together to discuss agricultural machinery and equipment.

To be honest, the equipment that Lin Shaoyang donated to the brigade back then is still quite advanced.

But the villagers who are rich want to buy better ones.

However, Lin Shaoyang felt that if it was enough for him to use, there was no need to rush to buy it. Maybe there would be a better one in a few years.

A group of women came to chat with Jiang Yanqiu and her friends, and the peanuts and sunflower seeds that Tian Mi and her friends bought were put to use.

Among them is Tian Dazui. The front teeth that were knocked out by Tian Mi were actually replaced with gold teeth.

She also boasted that Tian Mi specially sent money to them to have it inlaid.

Jiang Yanqiu and the others were at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

Everyone was gossiping about other people's affairs. Some of them, including Jiang Yanqiu, had almost forgotten about them, but they still listened with great interest.

Everyone gets along so harmoniously, it feels like we've returned to the past.

We had dinner at Aunt Chen's house. They killed chickens and geese, which made everyone feel embarrassed.

After dinner, we went to the movies. The weather was cold and the movie was being shown in the warehouse.

The former granaries are now empty as there is no grain stored in them.

Lin Shaoyang not only shows public welfare films, but also several recently released movies, with martial arts films being the most numerous.

Jiang Yanqiu and the others came back when the children were asleep, and they don’t know anything else about them.

The next day, before dawn, Tian Mi was in the yard shouting at everyone to get up quickly and go pick mountain products.

Jiang Yanqiu was really impressed by Old Six. His impatient temper hadn't changed at all in more than ten years.

The children were still sleepy. They cried and had no appetite when I woke them up. They fell asleep again after a while when I held them in my arms.

Their first stop was to the place where they used to pick matsutake mushrooms, one to pick matsutake mushrooms, and the other to collect pine cones.

Although mountain products are not valuable now, it’s a little late now, so you can still pick up a bargain.

A few little ones who were grumpy because of waking up, immediately picked up the things and started playing as soon as they were put on the ground.

He put the pine cones directly into his mouth and ate them, and he couldn't even defecate. His mothers were helpless.

Jiang Yanqiu, Xu Yan, Gu Qingqing, and Zhao Mingyue took care of the children, while the others went to pick up mountain products.

Gu Qingqing originally wanted to go, but she was afraid of accidents, so it would be better to take the child with her.

You know what, we did get some results. A group of people found more than ten kilograms of matsutake mushrooms and several kilograms of pine nuts.

Everyone came here to play and went back at noon. In the afternoon, a group of people went to the reed marsh again, and the team leader accompanied them.

Standing on the top of the mountain as the sun sets, it is still just as mesmerizing as it was back then, except for the addition of a canal in the middle.

The team leader explained cheerfully, "We had originally planned to reclaim land there and plant rice, but they said they wanted to protect the wetlands, so we're not allowed to do that."

Lin Shaoyang simply said, "There must be a reason why the higher-ups don't allow land reclamation. As long as there's enough food in the village, that's enough. Besides, reclaiming land here would be a much bigger undertaking, so it might not be cost-effective."

The team leader sighed and said, "Who says it's not true? Building this canal back then cost a lot of money."

Everyone went to look for wild duck eggs and take photos.

Chu Tingnan and Qi Bing were so happy that they even forgot about their children and wives.

They also said that if they had known this would happen, they should have come here to join the queue. There are so many good things on the mountain.

The next day, everyone went back to the place where the honey was first discovered.

So many years have passed, and no one has discovered the beehive. The small cave is full of beehives.

It seems that finding honey also depends on luck.

This time, Tian Mi did not go with them to help, but followed Jiang Yanqiu and others to take care of the children. She would not go to any dangerous place.

Gu Qingqing didn't want to go at first, she was really scared, but Gu Qingshi dragged her there to reminisce.

A few people found a secluded place and played with the children.

We were having fun when we suddenly heard the howling of a blind bear.

When Tian Mi heard this, she immediately shouted, "The blind bear is coming! Everyone, hurry up and climb up the tree!"

Zhao Mingyue said helplessly, "Sister, you've lived here for two years, didn't you know that blind bears can climb trees?"

Tian Mi said, "It's okay. The bear won't pay any attention to us. We climbed the tree because the blind bear wanted to chase Gu Qingqing."

When the others heard this, they were speechless and wanted to laugh.

Everyone quickly placed the children in a safe place.

Tian Mi actually climbed to a high place to watch the fun, and Xu Yan also picked up the camera and went to a high place.
