Daily life of female supporting actresses in the 1970s
Chapter 67: Even the Chicken Has to Eat its Last Meal
In the afternoon, Jiang Yanqiu finally finished her task of ten work points, and the team leader notified her to work overtime to harvest wheat.
Those who get fixed work points will be given five extra work points, which will be calculated based on how much work is done on the task. Almost half of the work points will be counted as five. Any more or less will be counted towards tomorrow's work points.
In short, you are not allowed to leave work early.
Jiang Yanqiu brought some food just in case, and Lin Shaoyang and the others also brought some food as they had experience. However, when it was almost time to eat, only Gu Qingqing and Gu Qingshi brought some food.
They left a few local people to watch over the drying of the wheat, and the others went to work as usual.
The Tian sisters and Xu Yan also had their meals delivered by the people they dined with.
The conflict at noon seemed to have never happened and the atmosphere was still harmonious.
The moon was bright at night and the fields were filled with shouts. Jiang Yanqiu couldn't work anymore after working half a ridge and just sat down on the field to rest. She was too tired.
Zhao Lanlan, Lin Xiaomei and the others had already been resting in the fields, and everyone had about the same amount of physical strength.
It wasn't until nine o'clock that we heard the announcement that work was over. Everyone was so tired that they didn't even have the energy to run back.
On the way back, Song Jianshe said to Qiao Lei mischievously, "Sister Qiao Qiao, I feel like my body isn't even mine. I don't know how you managed to hold on for so long."
Qiao Lei said patiently, "I'm not usually this tired. I get off work at 5:30. I'm too tired now."
She knew very well what Lin Xiaomei and the others were thinking today. Besides showing off, she also wanted to slap them in the face.
As a result, she overestimated her abilities, and now her hands and waist are no longer hers.
"I thought that every day I would do this and I admire you."
Qiao Lei didn't have the energy to talk to him and ignored him.
Jiang Yanqiu didn't have any midnight snack when she got home. She boiled some water to wipe herself and went to bed without even washing her clothes.
The next day, I was woken up by the brigade’s broadcast, also at dawn.
People are really strange creatures. Yesterday they were so tired that they didn’t even want to walk, but after a good night’s sleep they were full of energy the next day.
The most common crop grown in the brigade is wheat. The busy wheat harvest lasts a week, with three days working at 9:00 p.m., three days at 10:00 p.m., and the last day at 12:00 p.m.
Because of thunder and lightning, it might rain, so not only do we have to harvest all the crops in the fields, but we also have to store the crops in the drying yard in the warehouse.
A strong wind blew up at the back and the power went out. I picked up the flashlight and lantern and worked hard. It was already twelve o'clock when I finished.
It started raining when I got back to the educated youth site and before I had even finished washing up. There was still a strong wind and heavy rain later, and it was still raining when I woke up the next day.
If the wheat is not harvested in advance, this year's wheat production will be reduced again.
The rain didn't subside until noon, and we were told to support the corn seedlings and dig drainage ditches in the soybean fields.
Now is the time when soybeans are growing, and they will be ruined if they are flooded.
But this time I went voluntarily.
No educated youth went because it was too tiring.
Jiang Yanqiu slept until the radio started again.
I decided to eat the big rooster. I was so greedy. Although there was a lot of meat in the space, it was all raw. I had no excuse to cook it.
Boil water, fill a bowl with salt water, sharpen the kitchen knife again and again, and then wipe the fluff off the chicken's neck.
He looked left and right, and finally closed his eyes and applied it.
They were finally released after half a bowl of blood had been shed. The rooster flapped its wings and flew directly to the next yard.
Although their outer wall is two meters high, the middle wall is only one and a half meters high. It was originally built to avoid suspicion.
A bloody chicken suddenly flew over, startling Lin Shaoyang, who was brushing his teeth. The toothbrush in his hand fell to the ground, and he swallowed the toothpaste foam.
He couldn't help laughing when he saw the bleeding chicken eating vegetables.
Lin Shaoyang also realized that Jiang Yanqiu had killed the chicken but failed to kill it.
Jiang Yanqiu also heard the noise and called out awkwardly, "Lin Zhiqing? Gu Zhiqing? Wang Zhiqing? Liu Zhiqing? Could you please catch the chicken and pass it to me?"
Lin Shaoyang suppressed his laughter and said, "Wait a minute, your chicken is still eating our food."
Jiang Yanqiu said awkwardly, "This chicken also has to eat its last meal. I should have fed it well before killing it."
If I had known to kill inside the house, the heroine would have easily killed pigs and cows when she traveled through time.
She can't even kill a chicken properly, she's such a waste.
Lin Shaoyang, who had been holding back his laughter, couldn't help but burst out laughing.
After catching the chicken, he stood by the wall and gave Jiang Yanqiu some pointers while smiling, saying, "You applied it crookedly. Next time, apply it in the middle and with a little more force, it will be fine."
"Thank you. I'll treat you to some chicken soup later."
Jiang Yanqiu took the chicken back awkwardly and cut it again.
This time I didn’t feel the fear as before and I successfully got rid of the chicken.
As for plucking hair and performing caesarean section, she had done it many times in her previous life. Lin Shaoyang went back to the house only after seeing that she was fine.
The other three were sitting in the kitchen in a daze, and when they saw him, they asked, "What's wrong?"
Lin Shaoyang explained with a smile: "Jiang Yanqiu didn't kill the chicken and it flew over here, and even ate our food."
Gu Qingshi said calmly, "Her chicken should have been killed long ago. It makes so much noise every day."
Ever since Jiang Yanqiu bought the chicken, the rooster has been crowing in the middle of the night every day, making it difficult for him to sleep.
Lin Shaoyang said casually: "I guess they can buy it to eat but they won't kill it."
No one spoke. Jiang Yanqiu was not very popular before, and everyone was afraid of being pestered by her.
But now Jiang Yanqiu doesn’t speak anymore, which makes people a little scared.
As long as you don't talk to her, she won't talk to others and will remain silent all day.
Jiang Yanqiu didn't know that others suspected she was sick.
She chopped it into pieces and stewed it, then stir-fried it with a little ginger and stewed it together. She also peeled the leftover yam from last time and stewed it together.
High-end ingredients often only require the simplest cooking methods, and their rich aroma will soon be released.
At that time, the chickens were all free-range and ate insect-fed food, so the taste was needless to say.
The only drawback was that it took more than an hour to stew. She kept her promise and brought a big bowl to Lin Shaoyang and the others.
Lin Shaoyang didn't want it, but Jiang Yanqiu just put it on the wall and left, so he had to take it back.
Jiang Yanqiu showed off the two big chicken legs when she got home, and drank two bowls of soup before stopping.
Others also smelled the fragrance and got up to eat the meat. The educated youth in the front yard also pooled their money to buy a rooster to stew.
Gu Qingqing picked up a "rabbit that hit a tree" at the foot of the mountain behind.
Qiao Lei went to the river and caught a fish.
She often went to the river to pump water into the space for irrigation. When she found fish in the river, she collected some and put them in the space.
I usually eat in the thatched hut in the space, but now I can eat openly.
The smell of meat filled the educated youth's site all afternoon, and of course it wasn't just there.
Today is a free day, and many families in the village are slaughtering chickens and geese. After working hard on the farm for a year, when else would they eat?
Those who are able will go to the mountains to pick up rabbits and pheasants to eat.
After we finished eating the meat, the rain stopped in the afternoon and we were notified to go to work. The male educated youth went to clean the drainage ditches in the soybean fields, and the female educated youth all went to support the corn seedlings, as too many of them had fallen over.
It was almost three in the afternoon and the rain was falling intermittently.
Jiang Yanqiu didn't have a raincoat, but the last time Lin Shaoyang bought her something, he bought her a urea bag, so she folded the urea bag and put it on her head.
When we arrived at the front yard, the three new educated youth were not there. Only Gu Qingqing had a raincoat, while the other three did not.
Qiao Lei probably hasn't gone to buy a raincoat yet. Her luggage was sent by her family, but because they need to confirm the address, it hasn't arrived yet.
Except for Jiang Yanqiu, the other three had oil paper tied around their waists.
Zhao Lanlan offered, "I have an extra piece of oil paper here for you to use. It will be even more uncomfortable if your pants get wet."
Jiang Yanqiu didn't refuse and said, "Thank you, I'll give you a new one later."
When we got to the fields, everyone was worried. The corn yield had decreased again this year because too many corns had fallen over.
The heavy rain continued intermittently for two and a half days before it stopped completely. They worked half a day and rested for half a day.
