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

Chapter 140 TV Enters the House
Fang Mingche took Yanyan to a nearby clinic and bought a children's mask. It was a thick mask with many layers of cotton yarn, which could be washed and reused. It was not disposable!

By the way, I asked the doctor to check her out. The nurse took her temperature again. Fortunately, she didn't have a fever. In addition to coughing, she started to have a runny nose. So I prescribed some western medicine for the symptoms. Western medicine is convenient, you can just take it at the right time. Unlike Chinese medicine, you don't have to boil the medicine.

But Yanyan will go to school tomorrow, so Lingzi will have to run over after lunch to deliver the medicine to her and watch her take it. I rode Yanyan's bike there, and it was warm at noon.

The teacher of the Yuhong class has to take care of dozens of students eating lunch and taking naps. There might be children pooping and they have to clean up. They may not have time to take care of it.

Let Lingzi do the hard work. Fortunately, it is very close. Yanyan and Niuniu can walk to the place in about ten minutes every day when they go to school and go home.

Yanyan felt that wearing a mask made her breathing uncomfortable, but she endured it because of her strong belief in "protecting her mother and baby"!
Dad told her that we should protect the elderly, the weak, the sick, the disabled and pregnant women! The two of them went straight to Boss Cui's restaurant. It should have been over by now.

Fang Mingche said to Boss Cui from the kitchen window: "Prepare two dishes and a soup for us two. Yanyan has a cold!"

Boss Cui looked at Yanyan who was wearing a mask and said, "Little girl, how come you caught a cold even though you were wearing such solid clothes? Okay, wait. I'll make you a sick meal."

There are dishes suitable for people with colds, and food supplements. He has done special research on this.

Yanyan felt a little embarrassed. She caught a cold because she was naughty and went playing snowballs.

"Okay, let's sit in a small booth."

Lin Yan and her daughter had already circled a large table with the travel agency staff and were waiting for the dishes to be served. Seeing Yan Yan being led in wearing a mask, Lin's mother nodded secretly. Her son-in-law is reliable!
Fang Mingche said, "I'll sit in the private room with Yanyan. You can eat first once the dishes are served. Mom, let Yanyan sleep next to you at night, just sleep on the side where your feet are."

Mother Lin nodded, "Okay."

She will get up tomorrow morning to check if she is infected. If she is, she will not be able to go out with her daughter. When she returns home, she will take a pack of instant powder as a precaution.

When Yanyan returned home after dinner, she saw her grandma also drinking aspirin powder.

She wondered, "Grandma, you have a cold too?" I didn't hear you sneezing or coughing. You didn't seem to have a runny nose either!

Her mother pinned her folded handkerchief to her flannel coat with a safety pin. If she wanted to wipe her nose, she could just pick it up and wipe it.

"No, grandma is taking medicine to prevent being infected by you. If you are infected, grandma can't be close to your mother. Don't be so naughty in the future, you see how much trouble it will cause!"

Yanyan nodded. Mom can't take medicine now. It would be really troublesome if she got infected.

"Okay, take off your mask. You don't have to wear it when you're not in front of your mother."

In the next few days, Fang Mingche kept listening to the radio and paying attention to what was happening in Afghanistan. Most countries in the world strongly condemned this. Unfortunately, the Soviet Union still insisted on its own way. After all, Afghanistan was a military strategic location for him and was related to his political intentions.

This week's flight from Paris, France, was more full than before. Unfortunately, the travel agency could only accommodate 22 tourists.

Fang Mingche stood at the entrance of the alley and looked around. In fact, this alley can only accommodate commercial vehicles. Even if Lao Wang really hired a bus to come back, there is no place to park it.

Once the two commercial vehicles stopped, people who were entering and leaving had to walk. People riding bicycles had to get off and push their bicycles. For this reason, Lin Yan gave 30 eggs to each of the affected permanent households every month. She didn't care about the temporary passers-by. If it weren't for this, there would definitely be complaints, and someone might even report it to the street office. In that case, the car could no longer be parked here.

I heard that in the alley next to it, a female educated youth who had returned to the city set up a tailoring stall at the entrance of the alley. She had a sewing machine and two frames to hold the fabric and finished clothes.

Someone also reported her to the street office for obstructing traffic. Then someone came and told her to close her stall and not to set it up here again. If someone reported her in a public place, the street office would definitely not ignore it.

I heard that people from the street office also privately suggested to her to see how the travel agency people handled these neighborhood relationships.

When the other party came to ask, Aunt Yuan certainly couldn't tell them that it was because the affected families could get one egg a day as compensation. She could only sing a high-sounding tune and say that it was because the travel agency earned foreign exchange for the country. The people in this area are all quite conscious.

Later, someone privately told the female educated youth what happened. However, the complaint had already been made. It was impossible for the person who made the complaint to withdraw the complaint by accepting some benefits from her. What would that mean? Was it to play tricks on the subdistrict office and the police station?

Finally, she had to move to a place nearby. It was a large compound along the street. Someone opened a door on the wall facing the street. Then he rented a few square meters to her and collected rent on a monthly basis. This way, she would not be affected by other people coming in and out.

The Qiu family lived in that alley. This was discussed by Qiu Jie and Ning Anan in the office. They both said that the family was very smart to rent out their house as a storefront.

Lin Yan said, "This is like the Eight Immortals crossing the sea, each showing their magical powers. For the sake of their own interests, everyone can be smart. Take the throat lozenges, I just bought them. I usually put one in my mouth when I have nothing to do."

The tour guide talked all day, which was quite exhausting for his voice. Lin Yan consciously took on the responsibility of logistics. Lingzi was just an invited person for these details, so she certainly didn't think as carefully as she did.

"Okay, thank you, Teacher Lin."

Ning Anan asked: "Teacher Lin, is Yanyan's cold healed?"

"I took medicine for three days and I'm fine. I didn't wear a mask today. Look, my mother washed it for her and hung it under the eaves. I heard that the supply and marketing cooperative had received TVs, so I followed Uncle Xiao Shen to the cooperative to buy a TV."

It was not yet time to get off work, and Fang Mingche's two tricycles had not returned yet.

Xiao Shen was asked to ride a bicycle there, and then he would be tied to the back seat of the bicycle and brought back. As for Yan Yan, she sat on the small seat on the front bar.

Fang Mingche arranged for Xiao Shen to buy a TV, and when she got home from school, she immediately said she wanted to go along.

Teacher Qiu held up the teacup and said, "Oh, it's arrived."

Lin Yan smiled and said, "Teacher Qiu, the TV must not be turned on during your working hours. It will not affect your work. If any neighbors ask about it later, I will explain it to them clearly."

The men looked at each other. If you put it in that room, there might not be any neighbors coming to see it.

After a while, Xiao Shen came back with Yan Yan, pushing his bicycle. People in the alley came out to look and ask questions.

"How many inches is it? Oh, 14 inches. Not bad, not bad, much better than the Qin family's 9 inches."

Someone else asked, "Yanyan, are we welcome to come and see?"

Yanyan nodded, "Welcome!"

Dad said that if someone asked, this is the right answer. They are doing business, and harmony brings wealth. Yanyan didn't understand much, so she just answered "welcome".

Xiao Shen smiled. These people probably didn't know where Teacher Fang was going to put the TV. If they knew, they might not be so happy.

However, Mr. Fang's behavior is definitely beyond reproach. He and his family of three also watch TV in that room. He just doesn't mind! Besides, it's his freedom to buy a TV and put it wherever he wants.

Xiao Shen thought he didn't mind. He had been educated in the army for many years. Anyway, when the TV was turned on, he would go in and watch it. But when he came back, he heard that the TV was not turned on during work.

He is a driver and usually has nothing to do except driving. But they receive foreign tourists. If they encounter tourists who can't speak Chinese at all, and if the tour guide is not there or too busy, the driver must be able to speak basic spoken Chinese.

If someone asks you where the toilet is, you should be able to point them in the right direction. Teacher Fang said this is called professionalism.

Anyway, the salary that Mr. Fang offers them is slightly higher than that of ordinary drivers. The higher salary is for them to practice speaking English. Of course, it would be best if they are willing to learn written English as well.

Teacher Fang told them sincerely that learning English well would definitely not be a disadvantage. Now that there are such good learning conditions, the three drivers also followed Teacher Qiu to learn.

After dinner, he would watch two episodes of TV before going home. The three drivers were renting a single room, which was more economical. They could go back together when the time came, since it wasn't far away anyway.

As soon as the Fang family's TV was brought back, neighbors, especially children, followed them into the alley. Nowadays, if someone can afford a TV, it is a big deal. People nowadays like to join in the fun.

People from the compound came over. Even Grandpa Gu came over. His family was planning to hold a wedding in the spring. The date was set! He was also thinking about buying a TV when the time came.

The 4500 yuan from the last house sale was not used up for his son's leg treatment. Buying a TV set was not too much of a burden for him. Their family had a stable income, and even their daughter-in-law, Zhu Wenjuan, who was not married yet, received a monthly living allowance from the government.

Other neighbors, including Mrs. Song, were also very happy. The Fang family had a TV, so they could bring a stool over to watch it at night. They didn't have to spend five cents on a TV ticket. And it was close, so it was convenient to go back and forth. They didn't come every day, but they would come to watch important programs. I don't think Teacher Fang and Teacher Lin would refuse.

The driver, Xiao Hu, had borrowed a ladder from the next door compound, and when he saw the TV had returned, he went over to help unpack it. He first took out the antenna, then held it up and climbed up the ladder to the roof.

"Just watch and tell me when the signal is good."

All the neighbors were watching with smiles at first, but when they saw the TV being moved into the room where Aunt Gu hanged herself by Xiao Shen and another driver Xiao Jin, everyone's smiles froze on their faces.

Grandpa Gu was also stunned. Which room should it be placed in? But after thinking about it, it seemed that it could only be placed in that room. The other two rooms had been converted into offices, so it couldn't be placed in the office.

He felt a bit complicated. He hadn't been in that room for several years and had kept it closed. Now, fearing that his future daughter-in-law would mind, he moved to the main house next door and sold the small side yard directly to Xiao Fang. He quietly left.

The other neighbors looked at each other in bewilderment. Someone couldn't help but ask Fang Mingche, "You really don't mind putting it in that room?"

Fang Mingche said, "Turn on the TV later and it will be lively. The room will naturally be lively. I can't just keep the room closed and waste it, right? It's okay, we husband and wife don't mind. When the TV antenna is ready, we'll see the effect first."

Marshal Nie has lived in the Forbidden City in Ji'an for 43 years. It's time for him to have more children at home. There's nothing wrong with that.

"Why don't you just tear down the house and rebuild it?"

Fang Mingche said, "I have considered it, but it is difficult to rebuild it in perfect harmony with the other houses. It would be too expensive to ask Yangshi Lei's descendants to rebuild it. The travel agency has just opened, and you know how much debt I have borrowed. Let's save as much as possible! I'm not saying that there are many places that we just don't know about, and maybe things have happened. Anyway, as far as I know, a lot of things have happened in the Forbidden City in the past 600 years."

In his previous life, he watched a lot of palace fighting dramas with Yan Yan during the Qing Dynasty, where people often drowned in the wells. It wasn't just Concubine Zhen who was thrown into the well. There were also eunuchs and palace maids who were poisoned or killed. In addition, many concubines had abortions. At that time, he felt that the frequency of murders in the Forbidden City was very high.

A neighbor asked, "What is a style thunder?"

Fang Mingche said, "People in the architectural circle should know that the designers of the Old Summer Palace were from the Lei family. Their family is good at architecture and likes to make small models. That's why they are called Yangshi Lei! With such ancestral craftsmanship, I heard that they are now also working on making old houses for rich people, but the fees are not cheap."

The Siheyuan of the old man of the Wang family was built by the descendants of Yangshi Lei. If the Siheyuan is restored to look like a new one, it will definitely look a bit weird and unnatural. If it is to be restored, it must be restored in the style of cultural relics protection. This is a craftsmanship and expensive!
Next year, when he has more time, he will take care of this courtyard and the house at the same time. Nowadays, he can do it himself in the courtyard house without so many restrictions.

Mother Lin stood under the eaves of the east wing. She was actually a little uncomfortable, thinking that her son-in-law was too reckless. But Ah Yan also didn't take it seriously.

The neighbors looked at each other and left in twos and threes. Naturally, they couldn't help but talk about it on the way. Their hope of watching TV for free was dashed.

Mother Lin said to Fang Mingche: "How about you bring something in to suppress the situation?"

At present, the Four Olds were still being destroyed, so she did not dare to mention Bodhisattvas or Buddhas. Doing so would be denounced as feudal superstition.

Fang Mingche found it a little funny, and after thinking for a while he said, "Then let's put a picture of Chairman Mao on the wall. With him around, we won't have to be afraid of anything."

Mother Lin's eyes lit up and she said, "This is fine. This is really fine."

"Then if you are alright, go to Xinhua Bookstore tomorrow and get a picture of Chairman Mao."

"Ok."

When Lin's mother looked again, her granddaughter had already walked into the room because Xiao Shen and Xiao Jin had already placed the TV and connected the antenna.

Xiao Hu stood on the roof and slowly turned the antenna. "Is it ready?"

Xiao Shen said: "Stop, go back a little."

Xiao Hu slowly turned back, and there was another shout from below, "Stop!"

Yanyan also excitedly shouted "Stop". This is the best imaging effect. Before, there were pockmarks and slashes.

Xiao Jin went out and climbed up the ladder. With Xiao Hu's help, he was responsible for tying the antenna tightly, so that the TV's image quality would remain in the best condition.

The three drivers were not afraid of hard work and were very happy to buy a TV. Fang Mingche didn't need to tell them anything else and they just started to take care of everything. Besides the three of them, there were only Teacher Qiu and a female colleague left in the travel agency. These rough jobs were definitely theirs.

Fang Mingche said, "Leave it for half an hour and see the effect."

Yanyan ran out immediately, carried her small stool inside and placed it in front of the TV. She also called out to Lin's mother, "Grandma, come in and watch TV!"

Mother Lin didn't want to go in yet, so she said, "I'm stewing soup."

Fang Mingche walked in and said, "Sit further away. If you sit too close, you'll become nearsighted."

Yanyan could only stand up and move the stool back.

Xiao Shen hadn't left yet either, so he pulled over a bench and said, "Teacher Fang, please sit down!"

Fang Mingche knew what he was thinking, "Sit down and watch it together. You probably don't feel like working anymore, so come in if you want to watch it. But today is the first day the TV is back, so I'll make an exception!"

Xiao Hu and Xiao Jin came in immediately, pulled over a bench and sat side by side to watch. Then, Teacher Qiu also came in.

Mother Lin said to Lin Yan, who was knitting a sweater by the fire in the room, "They actually looked in there."

The room hadn't been opened for a long time, and the three drivers just cleaned it two days ago.

Although the air had been ventilated for two days, she still felt it was eerie. She would wait until tomorrow to put up the Chairman's portrait before watching TV.

My daughter and son-in-law are really enjoying a prosperous life. As for the fact that someone was hanged in that house, where can you find such a suitable small yard for sale nowadays? There is nothing to complain about.

The TV was on for ten minutes, and Lingzi and the others outside couldn't help but go in to watch. Anyway, there were so many people inside, so what was there to be afraid of?
Fang Mingche folded his arms and watched. There was only one channel, no choice. No matter what was on, everyone liked to watch it. He looked around the room. There were more than ten people watching TV. How could it be so eerie?

Xiao Jin saw that all his colleagues had come in, and he also brought in the small stove outside for warming himself up.

Half an hour passed quickly, and Fang Mingche said, "Let's go, it's time for dinner. We can put it down in the evening."

He looked at Yanyan and said, "Nine o'clock."

If we were any later, Yanyan would be late for sleep. Besides, the two episodes of the TV series at nine o'clock were over.

Several employees looked at each other and decided to stay until nine tonight before going home. There were so many people, so they were not afraid! Besides, they had all worked next door for a few days.

"Teacher Fang, can you ask Boss Cui to send someone to deliver food?"

Fang Mingche said, "No, eating while watching TV will affect your digestive system. Either go eat and come back to watch, or just stay here and watch."

Since he said that, everyone must have gotten up to have dinner.

"No need to turn it off, just leave the TV on. The first day is to test the effect."

After dinner, everyone continued to watch the movie, but Lin's mother stopped Lin Yan and told her to wait until tomorrow to watch it.

"you should rest earlier."

"Ok."

The people in the nearby compound were in a state of anxiety, especially the children. They wanted to go to Fang Shuyan's house to watch TV.

The first people to take action in the compound were Teacher Gao and Xiao Xie. They washed the dishes and carried two stools over.

Then Song Chi and Niuniu also carried a small stool out of their room and asked their parents to go over to watch TV. "Fang Shuyan is watching inside."

Song Quan and Song's wife looked at each other, and Song Quan waved his hand, "Go, go. Let's go and take a look too."

The family of three took their stools and followed Teacher Gao and Xiao Xie over. In the compound, these two families had the best relationship with Fang Mingche.

Oh, and the Gu family father and son also have a pretty good relationship with him. But the father and son probably don't have the mood to watch TV in that room.

Then, Liu Qingfeng and Geng Shan, who came back a little later, also went, as did Hu Yong and four others. After these people had passed, someone whispered, "There were already about ten people in the travel agency."

Three drivers, three tour guides, Lingzi, Teacher Qiu, Teacher Gao, Fang Mingche and his wife, plus Wei You who will start work after New Year's Day. That's twelve people in total!

There wasn't much room for other people in that small room. The others were a little annoyed. They should have moved earlier. There might be no seats left if they went now.

Only Zhu Dahai's family was not interested at all. It's not that they didn't want to watch TV, but they were definitely embarrassed. Zhu Dahai's business has never grown. Liu Qingfeng privately told Geng Shan that it was because he was too stingy.

A few days ago, Zhu Dahai didn't know whether he was ill from overwork or for some other reason, but he took a few days off to recuperate. He had no choice but to ask his cousin to take his place and deliver vegetables to the city.

Because he was tight on money, and because his cousin was not a pushover, he asked Zhu Dahai for extra money. He said the money he gave was for renting his family's space to harvest vegetables. If he was to do extra work, he must be paid.

Zhu Dahai let him take advantage of the situation. He couldn't cut off the supply, otherwise his customers would have to go to Lin Yan.

Liu Qingfeng said that this was because Zhu Dahai was too stingy at the beginning. At the beginning, he only gave some sugar to his uncle's family. This made them run to the city to see how much he could earn. Later, the village party committee directly asked them to hand over 20% of the profits.

Anyway, everyone was unhappy. But if Zhu Dahai could be more generous like Teacher Fang and take the initiative to give benefits to the village party committee and villagers from the beginning, it wouldn't have turned out like this.

Aunt Yuan and Fang Mingche had a lot of contact, and they actually had a pretty good relationship. When she heard that there were about ten people at the travel agency, her expression froze for a moment. Then she said, "I'll go over and take a look too." She picked up a bench and went over.

When Aunt Yuan arrived, there was really no room left. The travel agency staff and the dozen or so people who had just arrived had already set up four rows of stools.

The room was originally only a dozen square meters. There was also room for a TV cabinet, and the first row had to be more than one meter away from the TV.

Fang Mingche held his daughter on his lap and said, "Aunt Yuan, please sit here." The "News Broadcast" was playing at the moment.

Aunt Yuan held the stool in one hand and waved Fang Mingche with the other, meaning for you to come out.

Fang Mingche put his daughter back and walked out. "What's the matter, Aunt Yuan?"

Aunt Yuan walked with him to the small flower bed outside and asked, "Are there more than ten of you here?"

"Oh, yes."

"Anything to say?"

Fang Mingche knew what she was asking, scratched his head and said, "Nowadays, many things are done by trial and error, and there is no clear statement. Many things are now being done first, which can be regarded as a trial. For example, Xiaogang Village's household contract responsibility system, and the trial of issuing business licenses to self-employed households in the Northeast. But these will not be clearly stipulated in the policy for the time being."

Strictly speaking, he has surpassed the "seven up and eight down" category of employment. Seven is socialism, and eight is capitalism. This is what an economist read out from a passage in Marx's political economy two years ago.

It's very dogmatic, and it takes talent to be able to read this. But this saying has been popular for several years!

But at this time, the millionaire Guazi had already opened a factory! He also had an extra golden bell and iron shirt to earn foreign exchange.

Aunt Yuan was silent for a while. "I heard that you went to the Bank of China to hand in foreign currency a few days ago?"

"Yes, otherwise how can we say that we are earning foreign exchange for the country?"

Foreign currency refers to the currency of other countries or regions other than the domestic currency, while foreign exchange refers to the exchange and transaction between different currencies.

Foreign exchange reserves are often mentioned in the news, and sometimes many people confuse the concepts of foreign exchange and foreign currency.

Fang Mingche would also agree with them, saying that it was not necessary to distinguish so clearly in daily life. But now, Aunt Yuan seemed to be speaking quite clearly.

He certainly didn't exchange all the foreign currency he got.

First, he gave one third to Wang Dexian, and then he kept half of the rest, mainly in US dollars, other European currencies, and a little US dollars, and planned to exchange them at the bank once a month.

Aunt Yuan said, "Your problem is indeed a bit troublesome. Why are you in such a hurry? Do you have to be the first to try it?"

There is nothing you can do about others setting up stalls, and you don’t lack money to live on.

Fang Mingche said: "Only at times like this can grassroots people like me have a chance. When everything is settled, will it still be my turn? Besides, I have done something beneficial to the country."

Aunt Yuan was silent for a while. "In fact, the higher-ups should have heard something about your situation. I won't report it for now, to avoid it being a big deal. If someone from the neighborhood office really asks me later, I'll say I thought they all knew. For now, let's just take it one step at a time."

Some things are only a few ounces if they are not weighed; but if they are weighed, they may weigh more than a thousand pounds. However, the 18 villagers in Xiaogang Village, Anhui Province, took the lead in implementing the household contract responsibility system, and it was fine. I heard that the trial scope will be expanded. That matter is much bigger than Xiaofang's travel agency! Let's just turn a blind eye to it for now.

Moreover, foreign currencies, especially the US dollar, are indeed what the country needs most at present. Many things must be purchased from foreign countries, especially the United States. For that, foreign exchange reserves are necessary. Increasing the country's foreign exchange reserves is a major and serious matter!
"Thank you, Aunt Yuan."

Aunt Yuan looked at Fang Mingche and said, "Wang Dexian's grandfather should know about this, right?"

"I know. It's said that Wang Dexian and I are partners, but in fact he is just a figurehead and a face."

After hearing this, Aunt Yuan felt much more at ease.

"Okay, let's do this first."

"Aunt Yuan, let's go in and watch TV."

Aunt Yuan looked at the room behind her that had been silent for years but was very lively tonight, and felt a little emotional for a moment.

Xiao Lin's words must have reached her ears. No one could say anything wrong about those statements. Fang Mingche was also watching TV with his daughter inside, and it can be seen that he really didn't care. With so many people, Aunt Yuan would definitely not be scared. So she followed Fang Mingche in. However, she didn't sit on Yanyan's stool, but just put her own stool in and asked the people in the first row to move out a seat for her.

From that day on, the room became bustling. There were more people than porridge, and some people came to take up space. Except for the people from the travel agency and the scrap yard and their families, everyone else was on a first-come, first-served basis.

Every day Lingzi would carry her family's stools in first and put them there. The remaining space would be reserved for the neighbors from 7 to 10 every night.

Yes, at ten o'clock, everyone coaxed Yanyan again and again, letting her watch the second episode of the TV series before going to sleep. This way everyone could watch for an extra hour.

But in fact, Yanyan lost interest in cartoons after watching them. She couldn't understand TV series. If she bought TV tickets to watch TV, she would insist on watching it for a while, so as not to lose out. But with her own TV, there was no such thing as losing out.

Lin Yan actually wanted to restrict her from the beginning, only allowing her to watch cartoons every day.

Fang Mingche said, "The more you restrict her, the more she'll watch it. Let her watch it freely for a few days, and she'll stop watching it. She can't understand anything, and it's tiring to sit there. If she's still watching TV in a few days, I'll restrict her."

Lin Yan didn't want to be the good guy all the time, so she agreed to give Yanyan three days. Sure enough, after watching the first three days, Yanyan didn't think about programs other than cartoons. Niuniu and Song Chi were the same. In this way, three more places were freed up.

Before seven o'clock, all the children from the compound came over and watched cartoons together. The time after seven o'clock belonged to the adults.

The parents of those children saw that Fang Shuyan was watching inside, and that their children had been fine after watching cartoons for the past few days. There was also a picture of Chairman Mao on the wall. In the end, they stopped worrying.

New Year's Day was just two days away, and all government offices and schools were closed for holidays.

The tour guides and drivers of the travel agency are still working. They can't just leave the foreign tourists on a five-day tour in the hotel. Fang Mingche told those who worked overtime that they would be given compensatory leave. There is no such thing as three salaries in China now, and he certainly won't be a maverick.

However, the three of them did take a rest, and he also invited the Lin family and Fang Mingfeng to come and celebrate the festival together.

Fang Mingfeng came here by bus. He was a little short of money at the moment. The two color TVs and two VCRs in the video hall had taken all his money. He even spent the two thousand yuan profit from the scrap yard. So, he didn't take a black bus.

As soon as he came over, he said to Fang Mingche: "I have been busy for a while, and finally I have arranged for your niece to transfer to the capital next semester."

He naturally started socializing at the scrap yard. He used his connections to get the job done and paid a high price.

The two brothers said they would help each other, but they were about 20 kilometers apart, so it was not that convenient to travel back and forth. Mingche did have a phone. There was no phone in his village.

Fang Mingche always drove his business car to take Lin Yan and Yanyan for a ride at night, and he went there specially and asked him to do so.

When he heard that he had completed the transfer procedures for Fang Tong, Fang Mingche asked, "It's also the Yuhong class, right? Has it always been a high-priced class?"

It is still more than 15 years before I can buy a house and settle down. Moreover, the first batch of people have to buy houses in designated communities.

It was not until 97 that the purchase of a house allowed the household registration. But it was only implemented for a few years, and it seemed to be abolished after 2000.

This year is 1980. If you buy a designated residential area in 95, it will be just in time for Tongtong to take the college entrance examination. Then you can take the college entrance examination in the capital and enjoy the treatment of a score several tens of points lower. As for Yanyan, she already has a hukou in the capital, so she will definitely take the college entrance examination in the capital.

Fang Mingfeng said, "What if we don't pay a high price? Fortunately, it's about 200 yuan a year, and it may increase a little every year in the future. It's not too much for me, but ordinary people really can't do this."

Fang Mingche didn't say that his niece could be registered under his name, because his eldest brother already had three children. Moreover, if the child was registered under his name, he could only go to a nearby school. Then he would have to bring the child over to live here. But Ah Yan had to take care of Yan Yan and was pregnant. There would be more trouble after the child was born!
The key point is that it is not easy to discipline other people’s children, and you can’t treat them too lightly or too harshly.

I will be very busy in the future, and the family responsibilities will mainly fall on Ayan's shoulders. It is best for Brother Mingfeng to solve the problem himself. This really reflects the saying: A problem that can be solved with money is not a problem!
However, "Brother Mingfeng, Fang Tong came to Beijing, and my sister-in-law came with her, right?"

Fang Mingche remembered that in his previous life, this cousin had a family outside his home. He even suspected that Brother Mingfeng might have a mistress outside now. But it seemed that he was a little tight on money recently, so he might not have one yet. But long-term separation was a matter of time.

Fang Mingfeng said, "The investment in the video studio is too huge, and we are not very confident about it. For the time being, she has to be there to watch over it."

Really, this investment is huge. He is now very concerned about the waste collection and cooking business. This business may seem insignificant, but it is actually very profitable. It allows him to not put all his eggs in one basket.

Fang Mingche frowned. An investment of 10,000 yuan was indeed too much! Well, his travel agency was about the same. In the early days of doing business, it was already amazing that Brother Mingfeng could stay out of debt.

And it sounded like they had made a unanimous decision to live apart and each of them focus on a business. So he couldn't say much.

In the previous life, it seemed that the red flag of Brother Mingfeng's family had never fallen. Later, his cousin's wife gave birth to a son and controlled the financial power of the family. As for Brother Mingfeng's affairs outside, as long as they were not brought to her attention, she would pretend not to know. She would not care if the money and property given to the woman outside was not too much. However, he could not have children with the woman outside, this was the bottom line.

In this life, Brother Mingfeng came to the capital for himself. But since it was a joint decision between the couple, it was okay. He was also 20 kilometers away, so it was not possible to blame him.

Fang Mingche said, "When we can get a business license as a self-employed person, we should bring my sister-in-law over to reunite with us as soon as possible."

Fang Mingfeng frowned and said, "I don't know how long we have to wait."

"Just wait and see. Isn't it being tried out in the Northeast? The household contract responsibility system is also being extended to a wider range for trial implementation."

The household contract responsibility system in Xiaogang Village, Anhui Province, was implemented in 1978, and the policy was finalized in Document No. 1982 on January 1, 1. It is estimated that it will take two to three years to obtain a full business license.

Fang Mingfeng heard that Fang Mingche's travel agency was not trusted by foreign tourists because it did not have a business license. He sighed, "I hope it will be soon!"

If there is a business license, it means that it is confirmed in the form of law that the video hall is funded by him. There is no need to worry about the couple leaving and someone else causing trouble. Otherwise, if they are both not in the local area and the Industrial and Commercial Bureau asks them to apply for a business license, it will be a bit troublesome if it is registered as someone else's property.

As they were talking, Lin's mother, Lin Yan and Yan Yan came in from outside with smiles on their faces. Yan Yan was holding a candied haws in her hand. Lin Yan bought it for her, but she was not allowed to eat it while walking, so she had to come back and sit down to eat it.

Fang Mingfeng stood up and greeted, "Auntie, long time no see!"

Mother Lin smiled and said, "Mingfeng, I heard that you went back to your hometown. Are your relatives there okay?"

"It's all pretty good. Rural people work from sunrise to sunset, and they all exercise well."

Mother Lin nodded, "Yes, I also heard that people in rural areas live longer."

Fang Mingche also stood up and greeted "Mom", then asked Yanyan, "Do you still remember Sister Tongtong?"

Yanyan shook her head. She only remembered Sister Fang Fang after her father reminded her.

"She is Fourth Uncle's daughter. You even wore the space suit and boots given to you by Sister Tongtong. She will also come to the capital to study next semester."

Speaking of space suits and boots, Yanyan remembered that her father had told her before that Fourth Uncle's daughter, Sister Tongtong, was one year older than her.

After a while, Lin's father, Lin Yi and Han Mei also came over and joined in making tea around the stove.

Han Mei looked at the main room set up as an office. There were actually only two rooms, but the desks were opposite each other and there were rattan chairs. There was even a telephone on the desk. It looked very formal! It was no worse than the offices of those state-owned factories.

Moreover, the courtyard office looks really antique and classy, especially after being photographed on the promotional poster.

Master He took great pains to make the office and the flowerbed outside look as big as possible. These were all used on the newly made promotional posters for the airport, which seemed to boost the travel agency's reputation.

Since the end of November, this is the sixth batch of tourists. In a small area, the travel agency has gained a certain degree of popularity.

Only the driver and the tour guide were at work today, and they had lunch outside with the tourists. So there were only people from Fang and Lin's families at noon.

Today, we don't care about the meal standard. Fang Mingche and Lin Yan will treat us. My father-in-law paid for the last graduation banquet with half a month's salary. My mother-in-law has also been helping out here recently.

He said to Boss Cui: "During the holidays, just charge us 30 yuan per table."

"Okay, let me arrange it. I thought you were going to treat us, so I prepared a few hearty dishes."

Lin Yi was secretly shocked. It seemed that his sister and brother-in-law really made money!

When the dishes came, they were indeed very sumptuous. Fang Mingche brought a bottle of Wuliangye and a bottle of Dabaili drink from home.

After two dishes were served, he handed the Wuliangye to Lin Yi and said, "Pour the wine."

"Okay!" Lin Yi happily took it and opened the bottle. He poured wine for his father, brother-in-law, brother-in-law's brother, and finally himself.

Fang Mingche poured a drink for his mother-in-law, Lin Yan, Han Mei, and Yan Yan. Then he picked up his own glass, "Dad, Mom, I want to toast you two. Mom, you've come to take care of Yan, and you've taken so much trouble. Now that Mom is here, Dad has no one to take care of him. Dad, you're not used to it, right?"

Mother Lin was very pleased. "I am supposed to take care of my pregnant daughter. When Yanyan was born, I was far away and could not help. Now I have this opportunity, I am so happy."

Last night, her son-in-law gave her 50 yuan for the holiday. She knew that he was just looking for an excuse to thank her, but it was just a name for the holiday. Now he toasted her again, which was considered to be materially and spiritually satisfied. So she felt particularly comfortable.

Father Lin also said: "It's okay, it's okay. Although I'm not used to it, I can overcome it."

He was indeed not used to it, especially with a new daughter-in-law at home. It would be better if it was just him and Lin Yi. But in this situation, he had to overcome it.

Fang Mingche lowered his glass and clinked glasses with the two elders. Then he sat down and said, "Everyone, let's eat! We are all family, don't be polite."

Lin Yan also smiled and said, "Yes, don't be polite. Just do it yourself and you will have enough food and clothing!"

Yanyan held her cup and drank the big white pear drink in small sips. She liked the taste very much.
