Daily life of female supporting actresses in the 1970s

Looking at her back and thinking about what I knew, I felt a little uncomfortable.

In the past few years, Jiang Yanqiu has never gone back to visit her family. Her family has sent her many letters, but she is still as poor as before.

Many years have passed, and I often wonder if I, as an educated youth, was too irresponsible when I was in the countryside, which is why I suffered so many retributions.

I was still thinking about this until I saw Jiang Yanqiu again.

After Jiang Yanqiu left, we stayed for several days because Gu Qingshi was reluctant to leave Gu Qingqing, and only went back when the deadline for reporting to the unit arrived.

After we returned, before we reported to the unit, we heard the news that the college entrance examination would be resumed that year.

To be honest, we are quite lucky as we have an additional way to change our lives.

I have been studying all these years. Although I have only studied up to the first grade of junior high school, I am already very familiar with high school knowledge, including planning.

Everyone in my family knows the importance of studying, and they all told me not to work and to prepare well for the college entrance examination.

Various schools also started to offer remedial classes. Although I was familiar with the textbooks, I had not attended high school.

I also signed up for a remedial class.

At that time, my father had been reinstated and should have been assigned to a pretty good position.

After returning from the southwest, he has never gone back to work. His salary is paid according to the salary before going to the southwest, but there is no suitable job, so he has to wait.

Finally, after many people were cleared out and many units resumed normal operations, people arranged a job for him.

After my mother came back, she taught at a university, but she was given an important position because of the resumption of the college entrance examination.

All of a sudden he became an expert professor, several levels higher than before.

I am 25 years old, handsome and have good parents.

He suddenly became a hot commodity among the unmarried girls in the family compound.

Especially when I was in the cram school, I ranked first in two consecutive placement tests, and I got close to full marks.

The teacher said that if nothing unexpected happened, it would be a sure thing for me to be admitted to a key university.

So every day there are people who are happy to introduce me to potential partners, and some even come to my house for blind dates.

No one cares whether I study hard and go to college or not. I have good parents anyway.

I really didn't expect that the Gu family and the Zhou family would also target me.

They even prepared a Hongmen Banquet for me. The Gu family invited our family to dinner, and also invited the Zhou family, and even the families of my father and Uncle Gu's comrades-in-arms.

No one informed me in advance, and they directly arranged the engagement between me and Zhou Qianru.

I was so angry that I almost vomited blood. I felt a buzzing in my head and couldn't hear anything.

I really didn't expect that in the eyes of my parents, I don't even have the most basic human rights?

My marriage is an important matter, and I stayed with them to ask for money without even informing me.

It's been so many years since the fall of the Qing Dynasty, and they are still using this whole thing of parents' orders and matchmaker's words. The key point is that I knew nothing about it at the time.

Zhou's mother was still chattering away, saying that Zhou Qianru and I had been together for three years and had a very good relationship, and that we had to quickly arrange the marriage so that we could concentrate on studying for the college entrance exam.

Zhou Qianru also changed her previous arrogant and domineering look, put on a shy look of a little woman, and looked at me affectionately.

I am really speechless. It is obvious that their family is taking advantage of Gu Qing's life-saving grace.

I was made a servant for three years, and now it has become evidence of my relationship with her.

What made me even more angry was that Gu Qingshi looked at me with a somewhat evasive look, which meant that he knew about it before.

Over the years, I have doubted him and felt guilty about it. He has protected me from disaster. As a good brother, how could I doubt him!

But now I have come to my senses. I treat him as a brother and am willing to be his follower, serving him at his beck and call.

But now compared with his interests, I am nothing.

Maybe, in his eyes, I am just a little follower, a little errand boy.

It seems that the life-saving grace was really an accident!

It was that idiot Tian Mi who hit someone with a stone. It was a stone that was so difficult for her to lift that the accident happened because her hand slipped and she couldn't hold it steadily!

If Gu Qingshi knew this would happen in advance, would he save me?

What he has done over the years and the expression on his face now tell me that it probably won't happen.

Maybe in his eyes, I am just a little brother who can help him solve problems.

How could he disregard his own safety for a little brother?

We may have had a brotherhood between us before, but that was when we were young.

We have been separated for five years and have not been in touch.

If he hadn't also been going to the countryside, we might have completely lost contact.

A lot can change in five years, not to mention people.

Mother Zhou probably saw that I was in a bad mood, so she threatened me to repay Gu Qingshi for saving her life.

I've had enough of this kind of life!

I have endured it for the past three years. Do I have to endure it like this for the rest of my life?

Whenever I think about those three years of life, I feel unhappy.

I don’t want to live like this for the rest of my life. I can’t stand it anymore and I don’t want to endure it anymore.

As for Gu Qingshi’s life-saving grace, if this continues, I will never be able to repay him in several lifetimes!

Forget it, no matter what others say about me, whether they say I am ungrateful or heartless, let them be!

Anyway, I don’t want to be a grandson anymore!

For the first time, I contradicted my elders and said directly, "When did I get to know Zhou Qianru for three years? How could I not know?"

No one expected me to refute and they were all stunned for a moment.

They certainly couldn't have imagined that I would be so ignorant and embarrass everyone.

I have been obedient and sensible since I was a child. I will not embarrass adults or refute their opinions.

There are outsiders here today, and I was so ignorant.

No one spoke for a long time, and then my mother came out to smooth things over: "What's wrong with you, kid? If you have any questions, talk about it in private."

I got even angrier when I heard that, and I asked her, "In private? Why in private? Is it like four years ago, when you suddenly got a fiancée? Go..."

My mother's face instantly darkened. She lectured me, "You have no feelings for Qianru, yet you spend every day playing together without any sense of propriety. Aren't you ruining her reputation? How can she face others in the future?"

I was so angry that I almost laughed. How could a mother be so eager to put accusations on her own son!

I asked directly, "What do you mean by playing with her without any sense of propriety? Do you think I want to get along with her?"

It's because she can't do anything, and Gu Qingshiguang is busy with love affairs, so she doesn't have time to take care of him. So she leaves her, a burden, to me to take care of. What's the matter? Three years of taking care of her is not enough, and you want me to take care of her for a lifetime?"

My words made everyone feel embarrassed, but Aunt Gu and Gu Qingshi kept their heads down and said nothing.

Only my mother blamed me and said, "How can you talk like that? Your family is doing this for your own good. Why don't you know how to be grateful? Qianru is such a good girl, how come she is not worthy of you?

Don't you look at yourself? People your age already have grown-up children, but you don't even have a partner. If it weren't for Qingshi, your grave would be covered with grass by now. What's wrong with you taking care of Qianru?"

I smiled helplessly and said, "I am the ungrateful white-eyed wolf. I don't agree with this marriage. If you want to marry, marry her yourself. If you continue like this, I will repay Gu Qingshi's life-saving grace with my own life. It is impossible for me to marry Zhou Qianru.

I admit that Gu Qingshi saved me. For this life-saving grace over the years, I want to thank him alone, not everyone who has a relationship with him. "

This made both the Zhou and Gu families embarrassed, especially the Gu family. Uncle Gu and my father were of the same level, and their family conditions were no worse than mine.

I don’t know if it was because he couldn’t stand the humiliation, or because he was angry that Aunt Gu did such a shameful thing, but he just put down his chopsticks and left.

Zhou Qianru also ran away crying and feeling aggrieved.

Gu Qingshi was also called away by Aunt Gu, probably to be interrogated about Gu Qingqing.

When Gu Qingshi left, he glared at me with dissatisfaction.

His family would definitely not let him marry a girl from an ordinary family, especially someone like Gu Qingqing whose identity was unknown.

There was already a stain on Gu Qingshi's file. If it weren't for the powerful Yue family's help, his life would have been ruined.

He and Gu Qingqing had officially confirmed their relationship three years ago, but he hadn't dared to tell his family about it.

What Shi Tian Mi said was absolutely right. Compared with Gu Qingqing's appearance, Gu Qingshi obviously valued his family background more.

Otherwise, why would he rather endure the humiliation from the Tian sisters than tell his family about his relationship with Gu Qingqing?

She had been hiding and using her sisters as a cover, for fear that her family would know about Gu Qingqing's existence and cause trouble for her.

Now that I suddenly told him that he had a girlfriend, his mother would definitely give him a scolding, and who knows what kind of trouble she might cause.

The party ended in such a bad mood!

My mother asked me if I was happy because I made everyone so unhappy.

I ignored her. I don't know whether she was happy or not, but I had never felt so comfortable before, and I felt a lot better.

I was a little distracted on the way back. Am I so easy to bully?

Why doesn’t anyone take me seriously? I feel like a tool being used by others.

We treat them as friends and family, but in their eyes, I don't even have the most basic respect.

When I was almost at the gate of the family compound, a figure suddenly bumped into my arms.

I was so absent-minded that I had no time to dodge. When I looked up, it turned out to be an old acquaintance.

Tian Yu, Tian Mi's cousin, I met her when she came back to visit her family when Tian Mi got engaged.

At that time, Tian Yu brought her son and went shopping with us. The sisters and I cheated more than two hundred yuan out of my money in one day.
