Daily life of female supporting actresses in the 1970s

Jiang Yanqiu happened to catch a cold. After taking cold medicine, she lay on the kang in a daze and slept all day without feeling hungry.

There was such a loud noise outside, but she didn't hear anything at all.

She was wondering if this spiritual spring water from the space was fake. After drinking it for so long, she could still catch a cold after getting caught in the rain.

As it was getting dark, the door to the yard suddenly made a clattering noise. Jiang Yanqiu was awakened by the noise and drowsily got up to open the door.

As soon as she opened the door, Tian Cheng saw her sickly appearance and began to feel suspicious and regretful for coming here.

Tian Mi didn't care about her expression and said casually, "Jiang Yanqiu, we will eat together from now on."

Jiang Yanqiu was confused and didn't know what was going on, but Tian Mi's tone of voice made her feel uncomfortable.

She could also clearly see the disdain in Tian Cheng's eyes.

So she refused without a second thought: "I can lend you the kitchen for temporary use, but you don't need to share it with me."

Tian Mi wanted to say something more, but Tian Cheng pulled her back and said, "Since Jiang Zhiqing doesn't want to, let's think of another way. Running back and forth between the front and back yards is really troublesome."

In fact, Tian Cheng was afraid that Jiang Yanqiu would take advantage of her if she shared a meal with her, and she was also worried that her things would be stolen if she borrowed the kitchen.

The two walked away, but Jiang Yanqiu was still confused.

I wondered: Why are these two people so easy to talk to? She just left as soon as she refused.

It was not until after dinner when Zhao Lanlan came to her that she learned what had happened today.

Now Zhao Lanlan often comes to play with Jiang Yanqiu.

Mainly, Xu Yan and Gu Qingqing were talking about food, drink and fun, and she couldn't get a word in at all.

While others were talking about the differences between imported and domestic products, she was thinking about the daily necessities of life.

They were completely different kinds of people. She felt uncomfortable listening to what he said, so she simply came to Jiang Yanqiu to do needlework or read a book.

After hearing the whole story, Jiang Yanqiu was not surprised at all. She had read the book and knew the plot, so she knew where the story was going.

But what surprised her was the pots and pans.

Didn't Lin Xiaomei always say that she paid the most for the pots and pans? How could she be willing to give the big iron pot to Liu Yuanda?

She casually asked, "Lin Shaoyang doesn't look like he's short of money, so why is he taking advantage of Lin Xiaomei when he buys pots and pans for dinner together?"

"Don't listen to her nonsense."

Zhao Lanlan sighed and explained the whole story.

It turned out that when Lin Xiaomei and her friends first moved here, the former educated youth had bought pots, pans, and utensils together, and they used theirs.

Later, when those people were about to return to the city, they converted their pots, pans, and utensils into money and gave them to the educated youth who got married in the local area.

After that group of people left, the only single educated youth left in the village were Lin Xiaomei, two other female educated youth, and five male educated youth.

The village made unified arrangements to have the people stay at the educated youth site.

Except for Lin Xiaomei, everyone else used to live in the old canteen of the village office.

After moving here, they either had to fetch water from the village office or drink stream water.

The village office is not close, and fetching water every day is not easy.

There are often dead wild animals in the stream, mostly dead rats.

The educated youth were afraid of contracting hemorrhagic fever and dared not drink stream water, nor were they too lazy to carry water, so they proposed digging their own well.

In the end, it was decided that the male educated youth would contribute both money and effort to dig a well.

The female educated youth paid for the pots, pans, and utensils, and the industrial coupons were given by Lin Shaoyang.

Later, one of the two female educated youth got into trouble and was expelled from the educated youth site.

The other one returned to the city, and the one who returned insisted on taking away the money she had used to buy pots, pans, and utensils.

Lin Xiaomei said that she had already given the money to the female educated youth who was kicked out of the educated youth site, and she refused to give a penny to the one who returned to the city.

No one thought much about it. Lin Xiaomei had a good relationship with the female educated youth who was in trouble. It was normal for her to give her money privately since she was short of money.

Because Lin Shaoyang had an industrial certificate, Liu Yuanda gave the money to the educated youth who returned to the city.

After depreciation, the money Liu Yuanda gave was definitely less than one-third of what it cost when it was first bought.

So Lin Xiaomei said that she paid for most of the pots and pans, and it was no problem that Liu Yuanda hadn't paid more than one-third, and Lin Shaoyang didn't give much.

There is nothing wrong with what she said. She was only talking about money, and did not mention the money for tickets and the well.

Jiang Yanqiu was curious before. There were only four wells in the whole village, so how come the five-guarantee households in the village had their own wells?

After all this time, it turned out that the educated youth dug the well themselves, but why didn't they install a well wheel?

Because they were afraid that people around them would come to fetch water.

It wouldn't matter if there were too many people and too many things to do, but I'm mainly worried that everyone will make the educated youth site a mess.

At this point, Jiang Yanqiu blinked and asked, "Then when the other male educated youth left, didn't they ask for money for digging the well?"

Zhao Lanlan explained: "Among the three male educated youth who left, two were the sons-in-law of the village chief. They don't care about such a small amount of money.

There was another one who, recklessly, married the educated youth who had gotten into trouble. They're now at the west end of the village. As for whether Lin Shaoyang and the others paid her, I don't know. However, before you came, the man was arrested for speculation and is now undergoing renovations at the quarry.

Jiang Yanqiu asked in surprise, "Both sons-in-law of the village chief are educated youth?"

Zhao Lanlan said with envy, "That's right. One of them arranged a job for the village chief's eldest daughter not long after returning to the city. Another son-in-law, for whom the village chief got a place at the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University last year, is now studying there."

Jiang Yanqiu asked again: "What happened to the female educated youth who got kicked out of the educated youth center?"

Zhao Lanlan lowered her voice and said, "I heard that she secretly hid banned books and Yuan Datou coins, and even collected Yuan Datou coins together with badges of great men. I don't know the details.

It can be said that she was not kicked out of the educated youth site. She studied in the commune study class for a month and was criticized every day. After she came back, the village arranged for her to live in a dilapidated house at the west end of the village, saying it was a cowshed. An old bachelor in the village wanted to marry her for free and often harassed her.

The educated youth who married her had been childhood sweethearts with her, and they had been in a relationship before going to the countryside. He had the opportunity to return to the city, but because she got into trouble, he gave it up and stayed with her. He later moved into the cowshed with her. They rarely came to the village and didn't work with us. I don't know the details.

Jiang Yanqiu thought, "You still don't understand? How can I understand it?"

She didn't ask about the two people anymore. They should have been living well as long as they had held on for the past few years.

As for the new arrivals, they were all female educated youth, only two a year.

Lin Xiaomei didn't ask others to pay for the pots and pans, but she took advantage of them openly.

Whenever someone has an opinion, they start talking about pots and pans.

The other three families were not well off and were not valued at home.

In their opinion, staying in the village is no worse than returning to the city. The main thing is that even if they can return to the city, there is no place for them at home.

In addition, since he couldn't stand Lin Xiaomei anymore, he found a good family to marry.

In the end, only Zhao Lanlan was left out of the four people.

Sometimes I feel that Lin Xiaomei is quite business-savvy. She has already made back the money she spent on buying the pots and pans, and probably even got some extra. In the end, the pots and pans are still hers.
