Back to 1979: Sending the Educated Youth’s Wife Back to the City

Chapter 11: Troubles on the Return Trip
Sleeping comfortably in bed is definitely better than curling up in the cab in the past few days.

I just took a good shower with hot water, and now all the fatigue accumulated over the past few days has come rushing back.

He'll take a nap first.

Wait until you hear your cousin knocking on the door before getting up to open it, and ignore everything else.

He even closed the windows tightly, for fear that someone might climb up from the outside wall.

I was sleeping soundly when there was a knock on the door.

"Mingche, it's me—"

Fang Mingche got out of bed, put on his military coat and opened the door.

Driving all the way to Guangzhou, he actually didn't need to wear his military coat anymore. He put it beside the bed just to make it easier to put it on and open the door.

There was such a large sum of money in the room, so I would rather go to the trouble of getting up now to open the door, but I had to lock the door.

Fortunately, when the goods are received tomorrow night, most of them will be given away, and they will need to take the rest back.

Fang Mingche smelled a scent of perfume on his cousin.

He was exhausted these days anyway, and he didn't expect his cousin to still have the energy to go out and play with women.

"You go out and play, and your brother-in-law doesn't say anything?"

"He also went to find his lover, and I didn't tell my brother's wife. Anyway, we stayed for two nights and took turns going out. And I was actually pretty good to his sister, I just went out to play with her occasionally."

After washing up, my cousin saw that Fang Mingche was still awake and asked, "Mingche, what are you going to take back?"

"Digital watch." Small and popular.

Fang Mingfeng nodded. "That's good. But someone told me what they wanted. I have to satisfy the old customers first."

This was done behind the boss's back, and he was limited in what he could bring. I decided to bring some digital watches next time.

The next day, Fang Mingche followed his cousin's instructions and found a place that specialized in selling smuggled goods.

Experienced drivers who have been coming here for a long time know the place well.

Even if you have to move to another place for some urgent matter, you can still find out in this familiar hotel.

They can't go out together, someone has to look after so much money.

He went out to do his work first, and then went back to exchange with his cousin. Each of them brought their own goods and did not interfere with each other.

But Fang Mingche didn't bother to look at it on the way. He just cautiously looked out a few times in the dark.

This black guy was also called by my cousin, who said he was an acquaintance.

Otherwise, you have to worry about someone scratching your pocket and stealing your money on the bus. If there are too many people, you have to hold on tight while standing.

The pickpockets on the bus are very good. They have already taken your money without you noticing.

Fang Mingche put his hands in his trouser pockets. There were 50 big unity notes in each pocket, wrapped in newspaper to prevent them from falling out.

He was wearing a short black tweed jacket, the style of a Zhongshan suit.

This was bought last year. Yan said that she needed something to wear on formal occasions.

It was just right for wearing in Guangzhou at this time of year. He knew that this time his destination was to go all the way south to Guangzhou, so he took it with him.

When we arrived, we saw a wide variety of goods, including delicacies from all over the world, clothes of all colors, and electrical appliances.
It makes one doubt that this is not the 70s when material was scarce.

Fang Mingche only had 1000 yuan in his pocket. He didn't dare to look at anything else, because even if he did, he couldn't afford it. He was so eager for nothing!
He walked straight to the stall selling electronic watches and picked out the cheapest one.

"Don't worry, I guarantee the time will be correct. If the driver who comes here to buy goods for a long time is not right, he will come to smash my stall next time, right?"

Fang Mingche said: "Make it cheaper."

"How much did you buy?"

"You charge 25 yuan each, and I'll buy 40."

The boss shook his head, "No, the lowest price is 28."

The original number was 32, but it was reduced to 30.

The boss lowered the price to 28 and refused to go any lower. In the end, Fang Mingche took 35 and spent 980.

Now, except for the remaining 20 yuan and the scattered 30 yuan, this is all his assets. Oh, and there is also the 40 yuan he can earn from this trip. He can only get it if he transports the goods back safely.

Back in the hotel, Fang Mingche put the electronic watch into the inner pocket with several grids that he had asked his mother to sew on the inside of his military coat.

Put a few in one inner pocket. Then button up the outer pocket and there will be no trace.

The military coat and the sweater inside are both thick, and the thickness of the electronic watch can be completely concealed when I go back.

He didn't plan to go out anymore.

Fang Mingfeng was smoking nearby. "Are you planning to sell it wholesale or retail?"

"Wholesale, I am a teacher after all, how can I secretly set up a street stall?"

He had to keep his job at the school for the time being.

Getting into college is always a shortcut to BJ. In this era, the bonus of the college entrance examination has been restored, and you must take it if you can.

But if you want to pass the exam, you need an environment where you can study in peace. It is better to stay in school.

Moreover, the key is that he has to raise his daughter and cannot take too many risks.

In his previous life, he was just an ordinary person.

I don't want to be rich in this life. I just hope that through my own efforts, I can make my wife and children live a better life. I don't want to miss the good opportunities like I did in my last life.

There are risks in carrying goods on the road, and there are also risks in selling them when you return. Although the Third Plenary Session of the 11th Central Committee has been held, small places have not really taken action yet.

He was not familiar with how to ship the goods, so it was better to wholesale them to his student Xu Sheng.

He had paid for the boy's mother's medical expenses, which is why he was rescued in time.

He is a filial son, there is no way you could cheat him.

When Fang Mingfeng heard that he had a shipping channel, he didn't say much.

He just said, "A scholar's brain should be more useful. Think of everything before coming."

"I also came up with this idea after hearing that you were looking for someone to take over for your brother-in-law."

Otherwise, he would have to find another way.

After lunch, it was my cousin’s turn to go out and do the shopping.

This day is a rest day for drivers, but most of them use this free time to buy goods and bring them back.

Otherwise, just seeing the boss making a lot of money, would you only earn 40 yuan for a trip?
After finishing his business, my cousin came back and asked Mingche to keep the payment and the goods. He went to the hair salon again and came back in the middle of the night.

They left on the 14th and today is the 18th.

They are not responsible for purchasing goods. The quantity and type of goods are communicated directly to the boss.

We will go to the flat and open area where we unloaded the goods yesterday tomorrow morning, load them up, pay for the goods and leave.

We encountered several dangerous situations on the way here, but I managed to resolve them all thanks to my cousin's experience.

Hope the journey back will be okay.

Early in the morning on the 19th, the two brothers drove the truck to pick up the goods and set off again.

The first thing we encountered on the way back was that a group of people dug up the road halfway.

The road was dug up, so trucks had no choice but to make an emergency stop or get stuck.

Then a group of people rushed forward.

In the better case, the driver was severely beaten, and the goods were robbed.

The more ruthless the situation, the worst outcome will be.

However, there are other people on the road today who know about this, so the driver's life should be saved.

On the way back, my cousin deliberately fell behind.

Before they reached the dug-up area, two cars in front of them turned back.

My cousin said directly: "There's a car accident, turn around!"
