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

Chapter 127 Mingche's Treat
Fang Mingche further asked Zheng Xing and found out that everyone in the dormitory, along with people from the two neighboring dormitories, had gone to see the counselor about this matter.

Everyone looked down on such a person who pretended to be someone else and sneaked into the college team. They wanted him and the student who was admitted to the university to have their own fate.

As for Zheng Xing, he had just returned from the bathhouse with a basin. As soon as he walked to the dormitory building, he saw a group of people coming downstairs together, and only then did he hear a few words.

The boys went to three dormitories, that is, all the boys in the class went except them.

Fang Mingche was shocked and said, "You dare to impersonate someone else and study in the English Department without any basic knowledge?"

He felt that his admission letter was sent to his home safely, and no cadre's child would intercept it. It was because he was in the English department that he couldn't pretend to be one. No matter how capable you are, if you have no basic knowledge, you can't catch up with someone who could have scored more than 90 points in the college entrance examination English test in a short time.

He thought about it and realized that the person Zheng Xing was talking about was usually more of a "lone ranger" than him. Originally, they were all college students and could tolerate each other's idiosyncrasies. If he was just a little withdrawn, then that was fine. Now it seemed that he was probably afraid of being exposed.

Zheng Xing said, "That's right. You pretended to be someone from another major, politics, history, Chinese, mathematics, etc., so at least you wouldn't be exposed so quickly. I heard that the people in his dormitory have been suspicious of him for a long time. How could something like this go undetected?"

Fang Mingche thought for a moment and said, "Maybe the admission letters for those who were admitted to other majors and didn't have much background were lost. It's so hard to get into college nowadays! Just like that, they took away other people's chances of going to college. Fortunately, it's our department, and other departments really didn't get exposed so quickly."

Nowadays, universities have strict admissions and lenient graduations. As long as you can keep pretending, you will be assigned to a good unit after four years, and your life will be stable.

Zheng Xing nodded, obviously feeling sympathetic. He also muttered, "It's a disgrace to the cadres' children. They are also the scum among the cadres' children! Really, in February this year, many cadres' children went to the front line in southern Xinjiang, and even shed blood in southern Xinjiang." Zheng Xing became a little excited when he said this.

Fang Mingche nodded, "I know about this."

Today, these old generals are all soldiers of Chairman Mao. Inspired by his deeds of sending his eldest son to the front line of the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea, many of them indeed sent their sons who were of the right age and were serving in the army to join the army.

For example, Commander Liu Bin of Baoshan District, Yunnan, sacrificed his first son (Liu Guang) for his second son, and his second son (Liu Ming) for his son-in-law. Such deeds are still very touching!

Zheng Xing nodded vigorously after hearing what Fang Mingche said.

Fang Mingche said: "Don't worry, the common people still have a scale in their hearts to judge right from wrong."

It was lunchtime, and there were classes in the afternoon. Fang Mingche closed his eyes and rested for a while, then picked up his book.

"How about we go and take a seat?"

Fang Mingche shouldn't have been here today, the time slots allocated to him were relatively convenient. He knew that there were three people in his family, and the current situation was special.

From the head of the dormitory, Cheng Guangzhi, everyone basically took good care of Fang Mingche. If there was a dormitory inspection, they would do everything they could to cover it up for him. So when Fang Mingche came, he would take the initiative to clean the public areas of the dormitory. He was planning to invite everyone in the dormitory to his home for a meal one day. By the way, he would also invite everyone to visit Tiananmen Square and the Forbidden City. Tickets are very cheap nowadays compared to later times! He is considering whether to go this Sunday or next Sunday.

On the way to the classroom, he talked about it with Zheng Xing. Zheng Xing said happily, "How about this Sunday? My family has a birthday party next Sunday, so I can't leave."

He originally didn't like living in a group, and was criticized by his father. The father said that if he didn't like living in a group when he was a soldier, would he have deserted the army? So Zheng Xing could only try to get used to getting along with everyone.

Fortunately, I wore earplugs, and my sleep has improved greatly. Other minor issues can be overcome. He gets along well with everyone. Everyone thinks that although he is young, has a good family background, and has some problems of a young master, he is indeed not arrogant!
Fang Mingche nodded, "Okay, I'll talk to Lao Cheng and the others later."

It seems that the old man in Wang Dexian's family is also about to celebrate his birthday. I heard his mother mention it to others before.

Zheng Xing said: "It's not easy for Lao Cheng and the other outsiders to stay in the dormitory every Sunday. They must miss their families very much." In order to save money, they didn't dare to go out and play.

Fang Mingche thought about it. Others didn't talk about it much, but Old Cheng often said he missed his little girl. Of course, Chinese people are more reserved. Even if he missed his wife, he wouldn't say it.

Fang Mingche touched his chin. Old Cheng seemed to have said that his wife was very fierce. But a fierce wife also has her own advantages! If she was always fierce, or if she was also fierce to Old Cheng, would he have married his wife as soon as he came to the countryside, and had two children with her for so many years?

The two of them had just arrived at the classroom when six other roommates and people from two other dormitories also arrived. The only person who scored more than ten points was missing! They should have come directly from the office.

Fang Mingche asked hurriedly: "Old Cheng, what's the result?"

On the way, he was still chatting with Zheng Xing, asking why that person didn't pretend to be sick to avoid the exam?
I heard that he had originally planned to do that, but his roommates revealed that he was not sick and that the sick leave certificate was forged.

(Even the fact that the other party tried to bribe the doctor but failed was mentioned)

Cheng Guangzhi said: "The counselor took the three of us room heads to meet the leader and asked the other students to wait outside. The security department is now investigating. We will just have to wait for the results."

Nowadays, all larger units have security departments, which have great power. They are basically staffed by lower-level officers who have been transferred to civilian jobs, and they can even carry guns when necessary.

In other words, the case has not yet been handed over to the public security organs for investigation.

But if a professional officer wants to investigate you, he will find out the truth. If he has certain evidence, he will report the case to the police.

Fang Mingche nodded, "Then there should be a fair solution."

The Security Department has intervened, and they are ready to get to the bottom of this matter.

The other female classmates obviously knew about this and came over to ask.

Then he said, "Sooner or later, this kind of fake and shoddy guy will be exposed."

"The real Qi Zheng should still have a chance to study with us, right?"

Everyone was talking about it, and they all had a strong sense of justice. College students, the pride of heaven, had a strong sense of responsibility! They were naturally extremely dissatisfied with those who sneaked into their team.

Fang Mingche opened the book. It was not easy to pretend to be an English major. But it was not that difficult to pretend to be from other majors. According to the reports he had read in his previous life, some people only found out thirty years later that their wonderful lives were taken away by others. Would paying compensation to others at that time bring back the life that should have been a child of destiny?
By that time, the impostor often enjoys a successful life within the system, while the person being impersonated has to work many times harder outside the system to live the same life.

After class, Fang Mingche told his roommates that he would invite everyone to his house for dinner on Sunday and to visit the Forbidden City together.

The four outsiders readily agreed. The two locals besides Zheng Xing also said they would go together. The matter was settled.

Fang Mingche thought about it and invited the two older sisters to go with him, and asked them to bring companions. This way it wouldn't seem strange. It would be just classmates going to his house for dinner. Then he would invite Gu Zhiguang and Gao Xiang, his two college neighbors, to come along.

Gu Zhiguang has found a job, working in the library of his alma mater, and also teaches a public course for freshmen.

So, it is relative to say that it is difficult to find a job nowadays. For a highly educated person like him, it is not difficult to find a job.

He arranged it once and for all without leaving any trace, and didn't care about the rest. When the time came, those who had cars would ride their bikes and bring someone with them. Those who didn't have cars would see if they could borrow one, and those who couldn't would just hitchhike.

Fang Mingche returned home and told Lin Yan about the dinner party and that a classmate was found to have gone to college under a false identity.

Lin Yan was shocked. "I've only heard of it, but nothing like this has ever happened to me."

She is from the capital, so it is impossible for someone to impersonate her. They are all from remote places, and no one knows this person. This is possible!

Fang Mingche said: "The possibility of someone impersonating an English major is actually the lowest. For someone who has never studied a subject, pretending to have scored above 90 points. The possibility is really low!"

Lin Yan said: "I'm going to weigh some wool yarn and knit wool sweaters for you and Yanyan."

It's November now, and it's time to wear it once you've finished knitting.

Nowadays, the most popular thing is to wear red sweaters, so she planned to buy some red yarn.

Fang Mingche said, "Let's buy the black one." Black is really versatile! The bright red one is more suitable for special occasions, such as the National Day singing competition.

Lin Yan said: "You want the black one, right? But Yanyan is a girl."

Yanyan, who was playing with building blocks nearby, immediately said, "I want to wear the same clothes as dad."

Fang Mingche nodded. "Let's go with black, father-daughter outfit. If you like red, you can get yourself one."

Lin Yan thought for a moment, "Then I'll get a black one too. When I was a kid, my mom always bought things that could be worn by both men and women. This way, if I wear it, Lin Yi can also wear it. I think I look good in black, too."

Since both father and son wanted black, she would buy black. She weighed three catties of thread and if there was any extra, she would weave a woolen dress for Yanyan.

Sure, let's do it! When she grows up and can't wear it anymore, I'll tear it apart and knit it into a sweater.

As for the baby in my belly, I will wait until he can wear sweaters. In the future, I won’t always wear the big one first and then the small one. I can give both of them new clothes.

Fang Mingche said, "I'll go and tell the Gu family father and son, so that Gu Zhiguang won't be around when the time comes."

When he went over and told him about it, Uncle Gu readily agreed, "Okay, okay, I'll ask him to come over when the time comes."

At this moment, someone called out from the pay phone outside: "Fang Mingche, answer the phone—"

Fang Mingche ran out to answer the phone. It was his cousin calling.

My cousin's scrap business and vegetable business are also gradually getting on track. In any case, this is a stable income. It is definitely better than living off his savings.

"Mingche, I have to go back to my hometown. When you are free, come and help me take care of the scrap yard business."

You definitely can't just leave it to the person you hire with complete confidence.

"Great! Is your video studio opening soon?"

"The color TV and VCR, as well as the first batch of videotapes, are on the way. I'll listen to you and only buy TVB and Rediffusion videotapes."

Fang Mingche said, "Yes, you have to be careful everywhere. Otherwise, those who want to steal your business may accuse you of corrupting young people with violent and obscene videos, and your reputation will be hard to wash away. Oh, by the way, don't take Shaw Brothers' erotic films. Although they are fake, our screens are so clean now. Ordinary people can't stand that kind of stimulation."

Nowadays, mainland movies are really clean. The "first kiss on screen" in the upcoming "Lush Mountain Love" is actually the heroine kissing the hero on the cheek. This has even caused a sensation across the country. Shaw Brothers' erotic films are also Category III films!

Fang Mingfeng said, "You even know about Shaw Brothers' erotic films. Okay, I don't dare to risk the world's condemnation on this matter. TVB and Rediffusion's feature films should be attractive enough."

"When are you leaving? Do I need to see you off?"

"No, no. How can you be free? I have no one else to entrust my care to, so I can only entrust it to you. Do you have anything to take back home?"

Fang Mingche thought for a moment and said, "Please bring me 50 yuan. Give 40 yuan to my dad and 10 yuan to my mom for pocket money."

It’s more economical to bring money than anything else.

"Ok."

Fang Mingfeng felt that it was actually very good for his cousin to be so low-key. This way, no one would think of going to his family or borrowing money when something happened, and his brothers and sisters would not think of relying on him.

However, others don't know that my cousin makes money by setting up a tea stall and now running a scrap yard, but they know that he makes money as a long-distance train driver. That's why his family and his wife's family came to him a few years ago. As a result, when he got into trouble, only Mingche could watch over and help him.

I feel that Mingche is much more experienced than me in handling things! This time when he goes back, he won't mention the fact that he makes money by working as a vegetable vendor at the scrap yard.

It still doesn't work, he went back to open a video parlor. It still can't be hidden!

The school security department responded quickly: It was indeed an imposter! This person will be sent back to his hometown to be punished, and the real Qi Zheng will be found. Further investigation will also be carried out throughout the school.

Fang Mingche and Cheng Guangzhi looked at each other. They were both experienced in life. This time, he returned to his hometown. This person's family was probably well-connected. The punishment he would receive would be limited. However, it was a good thing that he could find out.

Old Cheng said: "This kind of thing should be strictly investigated by all universities."

Fang Mingche thought about the strictness of Yanyan's college entrance examination, "Society will become more and more advanced. In the future, no one will be able to impersonate others as easily as they do now."

On Saturday, Fang Mingche rode his famous bike with a child seat, "I'll go back and prepare first. Everyone come early tomorrow."

"Don't worry, don't worry, we will definitely be proactive in this matter."

With so many people, and also wanting to take the opportunity to arrange a blind date between the two elder sisters and Gu Zhiguang, Fang Mingche finally decided to purchase from Lao Cui and hire two of Lao Cui's apprentices to hold a barbecue party in the small side yard.

The courtyards of the small side yard cover a total area of more than 30 square meters, which is enough for more than a dozen people to feed and clothe themselves.

You can add the seasoning yourself or ask Lao Cui's two apprentices to do it. For more than a dozen people, he bought several kilograms of meat and vegetables from his own farm. It shouldn't cost much. After eating, he invited everyone to visit the Forbidden City. Tickets are really not expensive nowadays.

Well, to be on the safe side, he would fill the water tanks of both homes with water in advance and prepare a few more buckets. When he got home, Fang Mingche started to fetch water. He fetched water for his own home first and told Gu Zhiguang.

Gu Zhiguang is not good at work, but he can still carry two large buckets. After all, he is a grown man!

"Oh, I'll fill it up right now. And fill up all the containers that can hold water."

Fang Mingche looked at him and said, "Go get a haircut tomorrow morning and have the master clean your face. Then change into new clothes later."

Grandpa Gu said at the side: "That's right, that's right, Xiao Fang is right."

While fetching water, he talked to Teacher Gao again. Teacher Gao readily agreed, "I will definitely not refuse such a thing."

Fang Mingche introduced him to take over the accounting work of his cousin. He just took the accountant qualification certificate exam this year, and the exam was resumed less than two years ago. Waiting for the result!

In the evening, Liu Qingfeng and Geng Shan drove back on a tractor borrowed from the next village. Because, with the increase in the number of customers, they usually have to use two tricycles to carry vegetables and eggs. Tomorrow, Fang Mingche will entertain more than a dozen classmates, so it will not be enough. Today, the amount of goods received has been increased to meet the needs.

Zhu Dahai had never had such a good business. His vegetable business was a step behind Lin Yan, and now he didn't even reach half of her volume. At this moment, he was envious of the tractor covered with tarpaulin driving into the small side yard.

Grandpa Gu looked at the side door that Fang Mingche had opened and asked, "Is this tractor yours too?"

"No, I borrowed it from the neighboring village. The villagers in their village also supply my family with goods."

A tractor costs less than 3,000 yuan. His total assets are less than 5,000 yuan now, so why would he be willing to spend this money? Besides, it is not very practical.

If I were in my hometown, driving a tractor to a town or county town would be a good means of transportation. But driving a tractor in the capital is not the same thing.

Fang Mingche said to Liu Qingfeng and Geng Shan: "Thank you for your hard work!"

Liu Qingfeng smiled, "Teacher Fang, it would be convenient if we had a tractor."

"Forget it, I won't buy a tractor." He also complained that wealth was accumulating too slowly and it was difficult to use it. How could he spend 3000 yuan on a tractor that was not very practical?
Alas, it is so difficult to start from scratch! What he wants to do now is not enough to add another zero to the existing assets. Moreover, the most important thing is not money. It is a backer!
Just like my cousin, I bought TV tickets to watch TV with him. In fact, he thought of a great way to make money. However, without a strong backer, ordinary people cannot keep such a profitable business.

It would be fine if they just want to steal the business, but if they also want to discredit someone, how can ordinary people resist it?

Therefore, he only dared to return to a small county town to open a video hall business, where he could find a backer.

But the profitable business that Fang Mingche wanted to do had to be in the capital, in a big city. Oh, how difficult!
Liu Qingfeng and Geng Shan actually knew that buying a tractor was a luxury, so just forget it!

It has become a habit for Fang Mingche to give them big cakes now.

He said, "When we have money, we won't buy a tractor. We'll buy a pickup truck that can carry one ton of cargo. That way, you won't have to ride a truck when you deliver goods."

As they were talking, Mrs. Cui came in pushing an empty cart to buy groceries.

"Xiao Fang, the meat is being cut and marinated. Bring it in tomorrow!"

She helped buy a lot of chicken, beef, mutton, pork and various offal today. She bought a lot of mutton, especially because she would not only eat mutton skewers tomorrow, but also make mutton soup.

Fang Mingche nodded, "Okay. Sorry to bother Sister Cui!"

"It's not a big deal. You paid the processing fee." The Cui family really likes guests like Fang Mingche. As for the barbecue rack, it's simple. Fang Mingche asked someone to make four for him at a nearby iron factory. Just pay the money. It will be enough for tomorrow!

There were more than a dozen male and female students, and they also invited counselor Wang Shan. Together with the four college students from their compound, there were about twenty people in total.

He, the landlord, Uncle Gu, and Aunt Yuan, the school administrator, all reported the matter. When Aunt Yuan learned that the people coming would be students from Beijing Normal University, she naturally said that there was no problem at all.

The next morning, the Cui family's apprentices pushed in all kinds of meat on a small cart. They ran two times, bringing in large pots of meat, covered with gauze to prevent dust and mosquito bites. There was no need to hide it, just say that Fang Mingche invited his classmates to have a barbecue today.

Everyone couldn't help but drool when seeing so much meat. It must be nearly ten kilograms!

The two apprentices built a stove with red bricks in the open space of the small side yard, and then put a pot on it! There were nine honeycomb coals burning underneath.

First boil the water, then put four pounds of mutton, mutton offal and mutton bones in to stew. Then add chopped ginger.

Soon the aroma began to spread.

Grandpa Gu whispered to Fang Mingche, "We, father and son, will bear a quarter of today's expenses."

They will also come to eat soon, and both father and son are not very good at working. The key point is that today, I also arranged a blind date for Zhiguang.

Fang Mingche didn't hesitate, "Okay!"

Teacher Gao and Xiao Xie also came over quickly and helped Lin Yan pick vegetables.

With so many people, a lot of vegetables will be blanched in the mutton soup. After picking one, Xiao Xie took it to the water pressure well to look for it.

Two apprentices from the Cui family were stringing mutton and other food together with iron skewers.

"Teacher Fang, you have such nice barbecue skewers and iron skewers, are you going to sell lamb skewers?"

Fang Mingche smiled, "Your master wants to ask, right? If he wants to buy my iron rack and skewers, fine. But I can't sell them to him at the original price or even at a discount. I only did this because I asked for a favor."

Yanyan sat nearby and watched, staring at those pieces of flesh with shining eyes.

Oh, and there are fruits. In addition to vegetables, Lin Yan also asked Sister Wei to help her pick a lot of edible fruits yesterday.

Fang Mingche handed Yanyan a washed apple and sent her to the entrance of the alley to watch.

"Go and see if Uncle Cheng, Uncle Xu, and Uncle Zheng have arrived. If they do, bring them in."

"Oh." Yanyan took the apple, carried her own small stool and went.

She walked up a few steps and sat under the eaves of a house at the entrance of the alley, where she could see farther.

It's rare to find a baby as fair and plump as Yanyan these days, and she's also dressed cleanly and tidy.

The styles of her clothes often follow the ready-made clothes of the Overseas Chinese Store and the Friendship Store. The clothes there are too expensive, and Lin Yan is reluctant to spend money on them. But she can use her intelligence and follow their example. Therefore, Yan Yan often wears quite fashionable styles.

Sitting under the eaves of other tenements, people would have New Year dolls on their heads. But she was sitting below, and she was no less beautiful.

After a while, Yanyan had almost finished her apples. Eight bicycles arrived. They were Cheng Guangzhi and his group, both men and women.

"Old Cheng, Little Xu, didn't you go to Fang Mingche's house? Is this the place?"

"I've only been there once. But these alleys all look the same!"

Yanyan stood up and saw them running to the alley next to her. She quickly said, "Uncle Cheng, Uncle Xu, this way—"

Someone in the two cars behind recognized her, "Old Cheng, over here, Yanyan is here——"

When the cars ahead that had gone the wrong direction heard that Fang Mingche's daughter was here, they turned back.

Soon, Yan Yan came with her short legs, leading eight bicycles and a dozen people to her small side yard. She entered through the side door. After the tractor drove away this morning, Fang Mingche did not close the door.

"Uncles and aunts, come this way."

"Okay, thank you Yanyan."

Fang Mingche washed his hands and was skewering meat with Teacher Gao and another apprentice. Another apprentice went over to help cut the vegetables. He cut the skewers for Gui Linyan and Xiao Xie.

It must be both meat and vegetables to be delicious, otherwise it would be too greasy to eat only meat. Fortunately, Fang Mingche made enough iron skewers.

At this moment, he saw Yanyan welcoming all the guests back and said with a smile: "Classmates, come quickly! Wash your hands and make your own living!"

With so many people, we must all take action. Otherwise, how long will it take?
Everyone parked their bicycles next to each other and came over to see that Fang Mingche had actually prepared more than ten kilograms of various meats and ten kilograms of various vegetables. Everyone could see his sincerity.

"Xiao Fang|Mingche, this is such a gracious hospitality!"

Everyone loves the colors, these marinated meats look delicious!

Even though Zheng Xing has no shortage of food, he likes to act in a group.

Fang Mingche and Lin Yan had previously borrowed stools and tables from various households in the compound, and now placed them all in the small courtyard.

Lao Cheng, Xiao Xu, Zheng Xing and others saw a bucket nearby and asked, "Can we wash our hands in it?"

Fang Mingche said, "Sure, sure. Just wash your hands and come over to skewer the meat and vegetables. Let me introduce you, um, my wife and daughter, some of you may not have seen them. And this one, Gao Xiang, is a freshman in the Political Science Department of Capital Normal College this year. Next to him is his wife, Xiao Xie. This one, Brother Gu Zhiguang, is from the last batch of college students before the college entrance examination was cancelled, from the University of Science and Technology. Next to him is his father, Uncle Gu. The two people helping with the work are Xiao Ma and Xiao Wang, who I invited from the restaurant."

When they heard that Gao Xiang and Gu Zhiguang were both college students, his classmates all greeted them politely, especially to Gu Zhiguang.

The gold content of others is higher than theirs. It was even harder to get into university back then! They were also very polite to their families.

Only Lao Cheng and a few others who came from the countryside greeted Xiao Ma and Xiao Wang.

Fang Mingche said, "It's too troublesome to wash my hands now. There are big bowls of tea over there, and the bowls are already stacked there. If anyone is thirsty, help yourself! If you don't want to drink tea, you can eat fruit. They were all picked from the orchard last night."

Grandpa Gu said to Gu Zhiguang, "Xiao Fang and Xiao Lin are busy, go and help mix tea for the students, especially the female students."

Gu Zhiguang was originally correcting homework in the room, but was called out by his father to help.

Grandpa Gu looked at the two oldest female classmates. They must be these two. They are both very good! It depends on which of them can get along with Zhiguang. The other younger ones should be here to keep him company.

Uncle Gu saw that the girls were mainly eating fruit, so he asked his son to help them get a fruit knife.

"It's okay, uncle, we can just wash and eat. Fang Mingche, why did you put so many buckets of water in the yard?"

Fang Mingche said, "Be careful of fire! The four ovens will be turned on in a moment, and there's a big stove over there stewing mutton soup. I was afraid something might happen, so I got a few big buckets of water. If you go to the Forbidden City, you'll see that there are a few big water tanks at the entrance of every hall. It's for fire prevention!"

Everyone worked together, and the process went much faster. The mutton soup had been stewed early in the morning, and it was becoming more and more fragrant.

Fang Mingche washed his hands, wiped them clean, and made a bowl of soup. He then scooped in some of the already soft and mushy meat, intestines, liver, and tripe.

"Xiao Xie, send one bowl back to your mother-in-law so she can eat it."

Xiao Xie stood up and said, "Thank you then."

Fang Mingche said, "Why are you being so polite? Uncle Gu, bring me your bowl. You will only be able to taste the barbecue later, so you should drink more mutton soup."

Grandpa Gu said, "How about you blanch some vermicelli in it? I'll give it to you right away after I've made it. Xiao Xie, how about you add some vermicelli to your mother-in-law's? You can eat it after adding some salt. It's much more delicious than boiled vegetarian vermicelli."

Fang Mingche nodded, "Yes, Xiao Xie, bring yours over and add some fans. I actually forgot about the fans."

Grandpa Gu said cheerfully, "I just saw that you leaked it, so I made a big handful of it. My classmates will have some to eat later."

There was a lady named Zhu Wenjuan, who was obviously impressed by the shy and gentle Gu Zhiguang who wore glasses. She came over and said, "Xiao Fang, let me take care of the perming of the fans. You go and do your own thing! You are the commander-in-chief today."

Fang Mingche looked at the other elder sister, who didn't seem to react. It's up to you guys!

"Okay, then give my daughter some heat, too."

Yanyan said: "Dad, I want to eat skewers."

"Eat some soup and some vermicelli first."

Zhu Wenjuan followed Grandpa Gu into the house to get vermicelli and the tools for blanching vermicelli. When the vermicelli was almost blanched, she added some vegetables.

Xiao Xie took such a big bowl back home, enough for the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to eat, with some left over.

Lin Yan said, "Xiao Xie, we still need help here. Take it back and scoop a bowl for your mother-in-law to drink, and come back."

"Hey, okay."

Xiao Xie really wanted to see more of what female college students other than Lin Yan were like. Know yourself and your enemy, and you will win every battle!
The fire for the barbecue has been lit, and Zheng Xing and several younger classmates are excited to go over and grill some skewers.

Fang Mingche went over to cut the vegetables and asked Xiao Ma to take over to help them control the heat.

"You guys don't know how to hold the fire, wait for Xiao Ma to show you how to do it."

Other students also said, "Yes, yes, yes, don't let the guys get burned."

Nowadays, food is expensive, vegetables and meat are even more expensive. We must not let these people mess around and waste the food. These people are not very good at working.

Zheng Xing said: "Okay, we got it."

There are four stoves, one for Xiao Ma, and one for each of Zheng Xing and the other three.

They brushed whatever Xiao Ma brushed. They turned the skewers of meat in Xiao Ma's hand over, and they followed suit. In short, they followed his example.

Fortunately, the marinating process has been completed, and the final application is oil, honey, etc. The taste will not be affected.

Yanyan and Grandpa Gu were eating together at the stone table. Zhu Wenjuan was taking care of them, the old and the young, with a smile on her face.

When the first skewers of various meats in Xiao Ma's hand were grilled, Yan Yan watched eagerly.

Lin Yan said: "Wait for it to cool down before eating, otherwise your mouth will blister today."

"Oh."

The taste was really good, all kinds of meat skewers were delicious. It can be said that everyone ate a lot.

As everyone ate, they all thought that Fang Mingche's preparation was really sumptuous! After eating too much meat skewers, they switched to vegetarian skewers and drank mutton soup. Everyone ate enthusiastically, and the atmosphere was very good.

There were six girls in total, two of them were the main characters, and four of them were there just to keep the guests company. They were mainly chatting with Lin Yan and Xiao Xie, since they were of similar age.

As for Lin Yan, I mainly thanked her and asked her how she felt about being pregnant. Lin Yan smiled and said everyone was welcome. My Mingche often came home, thanks to everyone for taking care of him. As for Xiao Xie, I mainly talked about how delicious her grilled skewers were.

Xiao Xie has good skills and was indeed invited to help today. She was also carefully observing what these female college students were like. Intuitively, Gao Xiang actually liked these female college students more. Fortunately, his ex-girlfriend was just a textile worker with a high school education. Otherwise, the pressure on himself would be even greater.

Fang Mingche, Xiao Ma and Xiao Wang said: "I think if you add this kebab business, it should be very good."

The two nodded. They thought so too. But this skewer is not cheap! Only rich people can afford it.

Yanyan ate a little too much and sat on a small chair to lean back. She was holding hawthorn slices in her hand and eating them slowly, one by one.

Fang Mingche looked at her with amusement, "Even if it's delicious, you can't just eat it as you please. Your mother and I turned our backs and weren't watching you, and you secretly took another skewer to eat. Wait, it'll be ready soon, and we'll go visit the Forbidden City and climb Jingshan Mountain. I'll help you digest it, digest it!"

Wang Shan sat next to Yan Yan, "Yeah, it's okay, I'll be fine after a walk."

He said to Fang Mingche, "The person you asked me to find out for you has found out. He is currently working in the boiler room of the department. However, he has not been rehabilitated yet. What do you want to do with him?"

“I want to ask him to teach English.”

"The department has prepared so many teachers, aren't there enough for you to ask for advice?"

Fang Mingche said: "No, I want to ask him to teach outside."

Wang Shan raised his eyebrows. "I'm afraid he's not good enough yet. Why, do you want to open an English cram school?"

He knew that Fang Mingche had been doing business, so it was not surprising that he would come up with such an idea.

The teachers and students in the school don't have time to do this. Old man Qiu, who was beaten and can only work as a boiler, is really a good teaching force. But can he go out now?

Fang Mingche said: "Well, let's think of another way."

No, he didn't want to open an English cram school. He had thought about it before. He was transferred to the English department, so it was normal for him to have this idea. This is the path that New Oriental's Yu Minhong has taken!
However, English is not valued enough at present. Even on December 1981, 12, when China held its first TOEFL test, English was still valued only by the elite. People took the TOEFL test in order to study abroad at public expense.

It was still a long way from the point where English was taken very seriously and if you didn't learn English well you wouldn't even get a university degree or be admitted to university. Moreover, Fang Mingche still felt a little uncomfortable about snatching other people's opportunities and walking the path that others had walked.

However, when Wang Shan mentioned the first batch of government-funded overseas students on the first night of school, he remembered a report he had read in Zhiyin in his previous life, about 52 people with only 50 US dollars in foreign exchange. The country is now in dire need of foreign exchange!
If he was just a businessman and his family had no overseas connections, he would not be taken seriously. It was only 1979, and there were not many people who started selling things. They all started selling things out of necessity! But after two or three years, there were many more people who started selling things. The number of people who started selling things increased year by year!
Later, out of the 1 billion people, 900 million were businessmen, and even government officials took unpaid leave and went into business. When there are too many people, they are no longer rare! Unless there is something that cannot be replaced by others.

Fang Mingche thought about it based on his own experience and came up with a career that is very suitable for him now.

However, although he had the right time and right place, he lacked everything. He lacked money, very much! As he said, his current assets of 5,000 cash plus a zero were not enough.

Lack of people, even more lack of people! The whole country is in need of the kind of people he needs. Because he wants to open a foreign travel agency.

To open such a travel agency, all treatment must be the best. Foreigners and foreign friends in China are treated the best. He can't even afford a car now, how can he open a foreign travel agency?
Also, he was in need of an English-speaking tour guide. Nowadays, people who are proficient in English either work in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs or in the English departments of various universities. Who would have the energy and willingness to be his tour guide?

But this is not the case. In a few years, it will be easy to open a foreign travel agency. It won't be his turn.

Therefore, Fang Mingche felt that he couldn't cook like a chef, waiting for the fire to be right, the oil to splash, and all the seasonings to be ready. He planned to create the conditions and get started first.

Well, he still needs a backer. This kind of business is very profitable and has political significance. The last time he worked as a translator for a handicraft cooperative, it was actually something that not only made money but also had political significance.

However, he couldn't even keep such a credit. Fortunately, Lao Wang was not the kind of person who didn't care about anything. So this time, he had to find a reliable backer.

But this kind of thing depends on chance. So, he should gather some English tour guides first.

The person who asked Wang Shan to find out about it was someone he heard talking to administrators in the school library. Now, the only one who was still working the boiler was someone who knew English and had time to spare.

Moreover, even if he implements the policy, he probably won't want to work in the school. He is already 50 years old and can retire early. He can directly receive 80% of the retirement salary!
