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

Chapter 155 also has twists and turns
Wang Dexian said, "It's finishing up. Recently, Mr. Qiu has been accompanying foreign businessmen on tours and visits. However, my leader does want to continue to use Mr. Qiu. He performed very well this time. People who studied abroad before liberation are indeed different." He paused and said, "Mr. Qiu is currently working at Beijing Normal University. He can be seconded or directly transferred to a government department."

At this point, Fang Mingche still had something to not understand. He said, "Old Wang, this is really not fair! Liu Bei borrowed Jingzhou, but he didn't return it?"

Wang Dexian said with some embarrassment: "What Zhuge Kongming said is right. The world originally belonged to the surname Liu. Teacher Qiu is still working, but now he is just on long-term sick leave. If the government department really issues a transfer letter, he must obey the organization's arrangements. He has been frustrated for so many years, and he can finally get a good reputation and social status when he is about to retire. Do you want to force him to retire early and not work with us? Let Teacher Qiu make the decision on this matter. Besides, Qiu Yin, Ning Anan and Xiao Mo are all competent English tour guides. It is not impossible for them to bring in new people. It is a bit of a waste for Teacher Qiu to train new people for the travel agency."

"I'm going to send Qiu Yin out. Ning An'an and Xiao Mo are the only ones left, but they may not be able to take on the main responsibility. Forget it, I know you're in a difficult position being caught in the middle. I'd better find out what Teacher Qiu thinks first."

Fang Mingche hung up the phone, feeling a little annoyed. What Lao Wang said was not wrong, but the travel agency would suffer losses. Teacher Qiu had studied in Europe in his early years, and there were many things that people who had never really left the country would not understand.

However, it is best to let Mr. Qiu make the final decision on this matter. Moreover, the travel agency is still using two commercial vehicles of the Investment Promotion Office. Now there are three vehicles, and the Japanese language group has also started to operate. But if the Investment Promotion Office says on May 5 that it will no longer rent cars to the travel agency, it will be difficult to deal with it later.

If Mr. Qiu wanted to go to the Investment Promotion Office, not to mention Wang Dexian, even Mr. Wang would not interfere. But as long as Mr. Qiu did not have that intention, let alone Beijing Normal University, there would be no professors or associate professors in major universities who could be seconded to do this translation. Even if English teaching in universities is important now, isn't investment promotion the overall situation? Therefore, the key now is Mr. Qiu's own intention.

When the memorial service for 5 people was held in May, Professor Qiu had the option of returning to Beijing Normal University to continue working as an associate professor. But now it is only two months earlier.

Qiu Yin is out leading a tour group right now, so if I want to ask, I can only wait until she comes back. But if I wait until she comes back, I might as well go and ask Teacher Qiu who is off work.

Fang Mingche rode his bike directly back to the small side courtyard. It was already mid-to-late March, and Lin Yan's belly was bigger than before. Her due date was in mid-May. Judging from her appearance, it was fortunate that she had taken a leave of absence this semester, otherwise she would have been unable to bear it.

She said that some people also had such a big belly during the college entrance examination. But it is easy to hold on for two or three days, but it is not so easy to hold on for two or three months. It is better to hold on if you can. If you postpone graduation for a year, then postpone graduation for a year.

Fang Mingche had asked Wang Dexian to reserve a bed in the cadre ward of a specialized hospital specializing in obstetrics and gynecology in the capital. If she had a seizure, she could be sent directly there. Or if she was about to give birth, she could be sent there in advance. It was not like their family could not afford to pay for a few more days in the ward.

He had no classes this afternoon, so he went to the office to check. He usually didn't work, so today he just asked about it and came back. The travel agency already has a complete set of procedures. If there are no accidents, everything will run as usual.

It was already early spring, with new green leaves on the branches. Fang Mingche's military coat was ready to be washed, dried, and put away. He would wear it in the winter.

I rode my bicycle to the gate of the small side courtyard and met Grandpa Gu who was walking towards me happily carrying a bird cage.

Now, Grandpa Gu is no longer worried about anything. He can go back to his ancestral home and collect rent every month. His son's leg has healed, he has a stable job and is married, and his daughter-in-law respects him. Grandpa Gu is happy all day long, and there is no trace of the misery he had a year ago. He deserves this retirement life!

Fang Mingche put one foot on the ground, "Hey, Uncle Gu, you are having a comfortable life."

Uncle Gu stopped and said, "It seems that you have encountered some misfortune. Tell me about it, so that I can gloat over your misfortune."

"I told you, you can't solve it." Fang Mingche muttered.

Grandpa Gu put away his smile and said, "It seems that you have really encountered a problem. I am sure that I can't solve it for you. It's a problem that even Xiao Wang's grandfather couldn't handle, so we ordinary people have no way to deal with it. Even if we want to think of a way, you have always been a person with more crooked tricks than anyone else. If you can't think of a way, I certainly can't think of one either. It's okay, as long as it doesn't affect the normal operation of your travel agency, it's not a big deal. For the rest, try to overcome it."

Fang Mingche nodded, "That won't be a disaster."

Teacher Qiu had been burning boilers in the boiler room for more than ten years, and he only dared to dig it out and use it when the timing was right. People helped him through the time when he was most short of manpower at the beginning. If he really wanted to go to the Investment Promotion Office or return to Beijing Normal University, he shouldn't stop him. Besides, Qiu Yin was still an important figure in the travel agency.

Fang Mingche didn't bother about it any more since there was nothing he could do about it. He even felt that there was no need to ask Teacher Qiu in the afternoon. He could just wait until he made a decision and then come talk to him. They could part ways in peace.

After coming to terms with it, Fang Mingche said, "Then you can take your time walking your bird. I'm going back now."

Uncle Gu nodded, "Okay. Are your parents used to it now that they are back?"

"That's the life they are really used to. Now people from the village come to ask them about their experiences in the capital."

My eldest brother called and said that the two elders are now the most envied people in the village. After all, my second uncle hasn't been able to go yet.

Brother Mingfeng himself was a migrant worker, so his uncle couldn't write a letter of introduction saying he was going to Beijing to visit his relatives. Unless he wrote a letter of introduction saying he was coming to visit his nephew. But he had never gone to Beijing with his parents before, and he certainly wouldn't do that now.

I heard that my second uncle knew that the video hall was making so much money, so he ran to the county town to help keep an eye on it.

Kang Kang, on the other hand, heard his mother say on the phone that he was not used to going home. Especially the 10 yuan New Year's gift money that he got was taken away by his eldest sister-in-law for safekeeping. She also scolded him that his father gave him 2 yuan for pocket money, but he really spent it all on snacks. The little guy felt wronged. Didn't his second sister spend like this?
Fang Mingche pushed his bicycle into the small courtyard. Lin's mother was washing sheets and quilts in the washing machine, holding the instruction manual and following the instructions. This washing machine was just brought back two days ago, so she was not very familiar with it yet.

When the washing machine was brought back and placed, Fang Mingche directly posted a note on the washing machine that said one dollar per wash in front of the neighbors who came to watch the fun. He was not afraid of being accused of being materialistic and obsessed with money. As long as he didn't care and didn't waste time, he would just ignore what others said. If the people who said it didn't work, naturally fewer people would come.

If you really want to say it, then don't come to my house to watch TV, let alone go to the office to watch movies. Nowadays, the original soundtrack movie is shown every Saturday. Two business cars will be driven back that night, and neighbors who want to go can go. At most, the car will make two trips.

But he really didn't want the washing machine to be used for public purposes.

When Lin's mother saw him, she said, "Mingche is back. Today, someone actually came to ask if he could wash a vat for one dollar. It was a customer of Ah Yan's vegetable business."

Nowadays, only business people are willing to spend one dollar to wash a load of dirty clothes. People who earn a living are not willing to do so. In the words of the old man, an extra dime can buy two kilograms of pork.

But for such a family, it would still be a bit difficult to spend hundreds of dollars to buy electrical appliances. One dollar per tub is quite suitable. Just wash the big items.

Because the other party was the customer of Ayan's vegetable business, Lin's mother felt it was difficult to refuse. But at that time, she still said that she would confirm with her son-in-law. If it was Zhu Dahai's family, she would definitely refuse directly.

Fang Mingche said, "It's written in black and white. If someone really comes, just let them wash it themselves. If there are no problems with the operation, you don't have to worry about it."

I bought a semi-automatic twin-tub washing machine, and I had to turn the knob to set the timer from time to time. From washing, rinsing to drying, I had to manually move the washing machine from one tub to another. It was not like the fully automatic washing machines of the future, where you just put the washing machine in, press a button, and forget about anything. But people nowadays already find it very convenient.

Mother Lin nodded and said, "I'll go back tomorrow and take apart your father's sheets and quilt covers and wash them."

She has been washing them at home for the past few months. The old man feels that it is not good to let his daughter-in-law wash the things that he covers and cushions with his body. The clothes and pants that he wears outside are no problem. Now that her daughter and son-in-law have washing machines, she is too lazy to do it herself. She has taken apart all the big items here and washed them these two days, which is really convenient.

Fang Mingche nodded, "It was fine then."

After a while, the bicycle bell rang and Wang Dexian came over after work.

Fang Mingche laughed and said, "Are you still trying to persuade me? I've figured it out. It all depends on what Teacher Qiu wants. A forced melon is not sweet, and an arm cannot twist a thigh."

Wang Dexian sat down and said, "It's good that you have figured it out. We really can't do anything about this. However, it won't be easy to find a university English professor or associate professor to do the job."

Fang Mingche nodded. "He was just picking up a bargain before. The current trend is to respect knowledge and culture again. If you really want to leave, you can ask him to be a consultant in name only. He can still give guidance when needed in the future."

Wang Dexian patted him on the shoulder and said, "Think positively! All we can give them is money."

In the evening, everyone went to Boss Cui's house for dinner, and Fang Mingche found that Qiu Yin seemed to have something to say to him.

So after eating, he said, "Sister Qiu, come here for a while."

He took the person directly back and sat down in the main room to talk.

Fang Mingche poured two cups of tea from the teapot. He placed one cup in front of Qiu Yin and held the other cup himself. "Teacher Qiu, have you been eating in the city government cafeteria recently?"

Qiu Yin nodded, "Yes, the people from the Investment Promotion Office gave him a meal voucher, and he can dine with the voucher."

"What are the standards for distribution?" There must be big kitchens and small kitchens.

Qiu Yong said: "Let's use the cadre standard, just like his previous position as an associate professor."

"That's fine. Go back and tell your dad. Don't worry about it. I got a great deal by inviting him here."

Qiu Yin said somewhat embarrassedly: "Don't say that! Our family was going through a hard time back then, and it was good enough that others didn't take advantage of us. You helped us just in time."

Her father did have a psychological burden because of this and was very hesitant. But now with Teacher Fang's words, the big stone in his heart can be put down.

Qiu Yin originally wanted to say that she was willing to go to London. After all, it was clear that her father's social status would soon be greatly restored. In this way, she would have fewer worries. As for her own lifelong event, she didn't have to find one in the capital. There were Chinese people abroad, so what if they were not Chinese?
But she was worried that Fang Mingche would think that she was doing this because her father might go back on his word. And now that there were personnel changes, it was still unclear whether she should be sent abroad to stay permanently. She should wait and see.

If they go abroad themselves, then maybe their small travel agency can send two people abroad at once. And they all go to big countries in Europe and America. Then this ratio is a bit high.

Fang Mingche smiled, "Not only that, if there is a way, I would also like to go to Tokyo alone."

Qiu Yin stared at him and said, "I feel like you are really different from ordinary people." At this moment, she had some thoughts of following him.

Not long after Qiu Yin returned, Teacher Qiu came.

"Xiao Fang, I appreciate your kindness! If you need me in the future, I will do my best."

"You're too polite, Mr. Qiu. It's fate that we can travel together on the same ship. I certainly can't stand in the way of your future!"

Teacher Qiu said: "He hasn't said anything yet, but he is usually quite respectful to me."

"Then I wish you another glorious career before you officially retire."

Fang Mingche returned to the east wing and told Lin Yan about this matter with some regret.

Lin Yan frowned. "Municipal government, university associate professor, travel agency English lecturer, it's no wonder they didn't choose us. The older generation values recognition from the government more. Especially for someone who has suffered like him."

Fang Mingche said, "Okay, this way we won't owe the Investment Promotion Office any favors in the future. If they want to assign me any work, I can refuse it with a clear conscience."

Yanyan came in from outside and waited for a while when she saw her parents talking. After they finished talking, she said, "Dad, Mom, can't I sleep with you?"

Her grandmother just told her that she would sleep with her grandmother from now on.

Lin Yan nodded, gestured at her belly and said, "Yanyan, look, mommy's belly is getting bigger and bigger. If I didn't need your dad to get up in the middle of the night to stroke my cramped legs, I would have asked him to sleep somewhere else."

Yanyan looked at her mother's belly and thought it was taking up a bit of space. And after the baby was born, it would also take up her bed space.

"Then when can I go back to sleep?" she asked unwillingly.

Lin Yan said: "I'm afraid you can't sleep back."

Yanyan pursed her lips, "Because I'm going to have a brother or sister?"

"No, because you are older. Look at any child who has his own room. Do they still sleep with their parents when they grow up? Niuniu's family doesn't have extra rooms. It's great to have your own room. It's your own space. When mom is out of confinement, grandma will go back. You can arrange your own room however you want."

Fang Mingche said, "Well, I'll go to the Friendship Store and buy you a Barbie doll, and a dozen sets of clothes for you to change into. You can even hold her while you sleep at night."

Lin Yan quickly said, "You can buy the Barbie doll. But I'll make the clothes for you. Just follow the styles of the clothes in the store."

It's fine that she can't make the doll, and she has to accept the price. But she can make the small clothes by herself, and they're not too complicated.

Yanyan thought for a long time before she said, "Dad, let's go buy it now. In addition to the Barbie doll, can you also buy the bear that's bigger than me?"

It seems that there is no way to change it, so let's take advantage of it first.

Fang Mingche was about to nod when Lin Yan said, "Buy one first, and buy the other after you've lived here for seven days. Think about what you want first."

It only takes seven days to develop a habit!
Fang Mingche said: "Well, do as your mother says."

"Let's go then."

Fang Mingche carried his daughter out. He carried his daughter into the small rattan chair and Yanyan said, "Look, Dad, there's another gap." He put his hands down at his sides, with a look of joy on his face.

"That's because you took off your thick outer clothes. Next winter, this little wicker chair won't be able to accommodate you."

In this life, Yanyan is not only more outgoing, but also taller and fatter than she was at this age in her previous life. After all, she eats much better than in her previous life.

The father and daughter arrived at the Friendship Store, and Fang Mingche asked the waiter to get two Barbie dolls.

Yanyan said, "Brother and sister won't be able to play with dolls until next year, why are you preparing for them so early?"

Fang Mingche said, "Oh, it's so sour. Dad's teeth are about to fall out from the sourness. It's for your sister Tongtong. By the way, when the time comes, your mom will make clothes for the baby, so she has to make an extra one."

"Oh." It's okay to give it to Sister Tongtong. Fourth Uncle always thinks of her when he has good things.

When they bought two dolls and went out again, it was already dark. Yanyan said excitedly: "Dad, turn on the light——"

Fang Mingche installed a light bulb similar to a miner's lamp on the front of his bicycle, which was battery-powered. He just turned it on.

Recently, several shanty towns in the alley have been discussing whether they should raise funds to repair the broken street lights. This will make it more convenient to get in and out, and it will be a big deal if someone falls. Aunt Yuan is going door to door to solicit opinions from the people in the shanty town she manages.

If Fang Mingche is asked, he will definitely say that he has no objection. He has long felt that the broken street lights should be repaired. However, he will definitely not speak up about this matter. If he does, someone will definitely say, "You have money, why don't you pay more!" It's okay to pay more once, but you can't start this.

After returning home, Xiao Xie, who came to pick up the eggs, said angrily, "Those people said that we should pay more for the businesses we do business with. Why? He is poor, so he is right?"

The Gao family naturally did not run a business, but because Gao Xiang's income increased, their family was also classified as a high-income family in the slum.

Fang Mingche said, "Xiao Xie is right. I won't agree to this. At worst, we can just continue to make do with this."

Anyway, their two bicycles, three tricycles and two commercial vehicles all have built-in lights.

Tsk, human nature is just as expected.

Xiao Xie said, "They make money by doing manual labor and exclude us from this. Now they want us to pay more for such a public affair. Not to mention the door, there are no windows! They want to let the minority obey the majority again. Do you think I will agree?"

No one's money is picked up by bending down. She only saw that Gao Xiang from her family had a high salary, but why didn't she see that he stayed up late to read accounting books? Why should she spend the money she earned on others? And if she spends it, others will only think it is their due, and they will hope that you will pay more next time.

Fang Mingche nodded. "Yes, they will definitely get worse after this. They wish they had all the power and we had to take on all the responsibilities. We have money but we got it through hard work. We didn't get it by cheating, so we are no less wealthy than anyone else."

This is how he responded when Aunt Yuan came to ask for his opinion again.

Aunt Yuan nodded and said, "Okay, I'll write down your opinion."

In fact, there is not much difference between paying per person and paying more for business. But if you don't fight for your dignity, what will happen if you let those people get whatever they want?
In the end, it is still per capita payment. Just like the water bill in the compound, per capita payment is the fairest. Everyone supervises each other and does not waste!
Lin Yan couldn't help but say, "It's such a small compound, but there are so many things going on." Fang Mingche smiled, "Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes. Anyway, remember what the Chairman said: I won't offend others unless they offend me. If someone offends me, I will definitely offend them!"

After that, when Lin Yan had nothing to do at home and was in good spirits, she would take needlework and make small clothes for Yanyan's doll. Fang Mingche took the time to deliver Fang Tong's doll.

She was just as happy as Yanyan. She had bought it with four sets of clothes and skirts. Uncle Jiu also said that Aunt Jiu was making small clothes at home and would give them to her when they were done. She could replace them for the doll later.

Fang Mingfeng asked, "Have you prepared the clothes for your second child?"

Fang Mingche said, "Basically, she bought small pure cotton clothes. They were sold in sets at the Friendship Store. The threads were left on the outside, so they were comfortable to wear. She has prepared six sets for babies aged 0-3 months, and they have all been used in the water."

Fang Mingfeng asked with interest: "Even if it's the size of a palm. How much is it?"

Fang Mingche told him. Anyway, as long as it is not necessary to buy it with foreign currency, Fang Mingche thinks it is not expensive. However, "Why are you asking this? You are outside..."

"Don't guess randomly! Didn't I go to your office to answer the phone a few days ago? Your sister-in-law is pregnant again." It was during the Chinese New Year period. It has been more than 40 days now. I can tell by feeling her pulse.

Fang Mingche felt relieved, as long as it wasn't someone from outside.

"Then it will be a bit hard for my sister-in-law to keep an eye on the video room."

Fang Mingfeng said: "Our family's fields are directly contracted out to others, so it's understandable that there is no main laborer in the family. Moreover, now that it is not collective labor, production efficiency has greatly improved. There are people who have the spare capacity to contract. My father will just go to the county town and watch over it and wait for them to hand over."

"Then sister-in-law, can you come to the capital to give birth? You don't have any brothers anyway."

Apart from brother Mingfeng, the second uncle only has one daughter, Minghui. The two elders are watching over her at home, so there is no way they would be so partial as to give their son's property to their daughter, nor would they allow someone else to register as the legal representative.

However, it seems that the age is different from that of Brother Mingfeng's youngest son in the previous life. Well, isn't my second son also several months younger? It's normal!

Fang Mingfeng nodded, "That's what she thought. She said she missed her daughter more than me. When the baby is three months pregnant, she will come here in a sleeper. I will go back to pick her up then."

Anyway, before that, he had to cut off contact with the people outside.

At the end of March, some students in the class began to discuss whether to celebrate April Fools' Day. Old Cheng said to the other party clearly: "What kind of holiday do foreigners celebrate? This is clearly a prank day. It's so boring——"

"Maybe young people like it. Anyway, let's be careful and don't let the youngsters do it. Otherwise, it will be difficult to get angry when the time comes!"

Old Cheng smiled and said, "You are almost a youngster yourself. You are below the average age in your class."

The average age of their class is 26, and Fang Mingche is 25.

“I have a mature mentality.”

The capital city heats up pretty quickly, and now people are wearing spring clothes.

After class, Fang Mingche rode his bike home. As soon as he entered the house, he found Lin Yan with a very unhappy face, and his mother-in-law was trying to persuade her.

"What's going on here?"

Lin Yan looked at him and said, "Hu Yong and his family didn't sell many vegetables today."

"what's the situation?"

Lin Yan looked outside. "After the weather got better, some people nearby went to the countryside to buy vegetables and make a profit. We advertised that the trucks we used to transport vegetables were also used to collect waste. The first store had three tricycles, and they all used the one Huo Chen rode to collect waste and deliver goods. Geng Shan and his friends also thought it was troublesome to wash the tricycles every day, and they were also afraid that buyers would be uncomfortable, so they separated them. The second store did the same. But now it's hard to explain! No one would believe us if we told them, and they would definitely prefer to buy something without this risk. Hu Yong and his friends came to say hello, and said that they would sell today's tricycles at a discount or keep them for themselves. But they can't come to me to get tomorrow's goods."

Since Mingche stopped setting up the big bowl tea stall, he has used a tricycle to collect waste. The other two vehicles are used to transport vegetables. But now, it's really hard to tell.

The family that rented the tricycle to them in the compound had clearly stated that they would not rent it to them to collect waste. They knew that they were not happy about it, so they made such an arrangement. Everyone in the compound was also aware of this. But now that they were both doing business, it was really hard to explain.

Fang Mingche reached out and stroked Lin Yan's back, "Okay, okay, I'm not angry anymore."

Lin Yan said, "We can't do this business anymore. The goods we sent back tonight will no longer have wholesale buyers. What should we do in the future? Goods from those two villages can't come in. Won't those villagers hate us so much that they want to bite us?"

Fang Mingche said, "I'll take care of it. Don't be angry. Being angry is not good for you and the baby. If we can't do both businesses at the same time, we have to give up one. Has the business of Cui Saozi and Xiao Xie been affected?"

Zhu Dahai had never publicized this to the public. He knew that the tricycles for the two businesses were indeed separate. Moreover, he did not dare to offend himself easily.

Although this new competitor didn't know the truth, he stabbed them hard based on his conjecture.

Needless to say, it is enough to tell the buyer that they are doing both the scrap collection business and the vegetable business. It is not even convenient to retaliate. Okay, let's put this matter here and talk about it later. Isn't the tax going to start in the second half of the year? They had better pay taxes according to the law by then! Otherwise, he will still report it, and the other party will not be able to retaliate openly.

The most urgent thing now is to solve this problem quickly. I can't do the vegetable business anymore. The two stores will lose 2,500 net profits every month. Now the vegetable business and the scrap business are in a 50-50 ratio, and the scrap business is on the rise. Fortunately, this is the case!

Also, as Ayan said, villagers in several villages suddenly have difficulty selling vegetables. They must be extremely angry, right?
They were bound to stop doing the vegetable business, after all, they were not going to give up the scrap business. As long as they were doing these two businesses at the same time in one day, it was a bit unclear.

Fang Mingche realized that he had to give up the vegetable business, so he went straight to find Hu Yong and others.

"Do you want to buy vegetables directly from farmers? We provide you with our supply channels, all of which are already cooked. Just buy two tricycles and stack them higher. You can do it yourself or hire someone to do the transportation. If you rent our site to collect vegetables, just pay a little rent."

Hu Yong and the other four thought about it and realized that there were indeed many people who had not found jobs nearby. It would not be a big deal to hire them to do this job, and they had earned enough money to buy a tricycle in the past few months.

"Teacher Fang, let's do this!"

When Liu Qingfeng and Geng Shan came back and learned about this, they were also dumbfounded.

"Teacher Fang, we use these two cars for commuting, and we also bring back vegetables and eggs along the way."

Fang Mingche said: "People who buy vegetables will inevitably worry and can't explain it. Fortunately, the business of the scrap yard is on the rise. After a year or so, your commission can return to the current level. You can make your own choice——"

What else can I do? I have already lost the commission from the vegetable business, so I can't lose the scrap business as well. Geng Shan was upset, and was pushed back to a few months ago.

Liu Qingfeng said: "Teacher Fang, are we just going to let the person who spread the rumor go?"

"It is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge. But if you go and beat him up now, you will only hurt him and not benefit yourself."

Liu Qingfeng and Geng Shan were very angry, but there was nothing they could do.

"What about the vegetables?" They have already brought back today's vegetables.

"Give the vegetables to the people in the big house. They know that our tricycles are used separately. As for the eggs, keep thirty for our family. Divide the rest among Xiao Xie, Sister Cui, and Han Mei. We won't charge them today! It's our compensation for breaking the contract."

After knowing this, Sister Cui comforted Lin Yan, "Don't be angry, don't be angry, you are a person with a double body."

Xiao Xie and Han Mei looked at each other and wondered if they could still get eggs from Hu Yong and his friends to sell. If not, their source of income would be cut off.

Like Liu Qingfeng and Geng Shan, they hated the rumormongers. They divided the eggs and went with Cui's wife to look for Hu Yong and his friends.

Hu Yong and the others readily agreed, "No problem, everything will remain the same. We will also ask Sister Cui to help us get tricycle tickets on the black market."

Xiao Xie and Han Mei felt relieved. Han Mei then thought, why did she have to wait for Lingzi to go to the United States? Couldn't she just accept her?

But she certainly didn't dare to ask her elder sister-in-law at this moment, so she whispered a few words to her mother-in-law.

Mother Lin said, "One carrot, one hole! You are still a high school student, don't you understand this?"

"Wei You came as soon as he said so. How can I be closer to him than him?"

Mother Lin looked at her daughter-in-law meaningfully, "When Wei You started working on New Year's Day, you let your own mother take all your money. If you don't want to wait, forget it."

"Wait, I'll wait." But when will Lingzi's going to the United States be finalized? Han Mei was ready to find an opportunity to hint at it.

When Liu Qingfeng and Geng Shan went to deliver vegetables, the people in the compound knew that their trucks for transporting vegetables and collecting waste were separate, so they all thanked them happily and accepted their gifts.

Naturally, there are people who gloat over other people's misfortunes! Most people are still very happy, watching the couple make a lot of money in one business and then another. Everyone is still envious and jealous of them. It's just that they can't afford to offend them, and they may have demands on them in the future, so they dare not speak out.

Zhu Dahai said this gloating out loud, "Oh, what a pity, such a good business can't be done!"

Liu Qingfeng and Geng Shan glared at him and asked, "Do you want a beating?"
Zhu Dahai said, "Why are you glaring at me? If you have the guts, go and deal with the people who spread the news that you use a scrap truck to transport vegetables. Every wrong has its perpetrator and every debt has its creditor!"

The two were somewhat discouraged by what they said, but it was indeed not Zhu Dahai who did it. If it was him, he would not have waited until now. Besides, when there was no business during the Chinese New Year, didn't they also ridicule him? They could only ignore the fact that the Zhu family did not send vegetables.

But the Zhu family doesn’t really care about it, as they also harvest their own vegetables.

Liu Qingfeng turned around and said, "Such a strong opponent can stop us from doing vegetable business with just one move. But how do you know that you won't follow in our footsteps?"

The smile on Zhu Dahai's face faded. It was not impossible.

"Then won't the vegetable farmers in your two villages and nearby villages make trouble?"

Geng Shan said, "Starting tomorrow, Hu Yong and the others will go and harvest the vegetables themselves."

Zhu Dahai's face changed again. In this case, their cost is lower than his. After all, he has to share the profit with this person and that person. If they sell it cheaper, he will be shocked. He didn't care to mock the two men anymore.

Fang Mingche handed over the purchase of goods to Hu Yong and others, and then went into the house to continue comforting Lin Yan. After all, she had always been quite satisfied with this business.

Lin Yan was indeed upset. She saw Ming Che and said, "2500 a month, that's a month. I'm thinking about buying a pickup truck."

"Forget it, we can't take all the benefits. If the travel agency buys one more car, it will cost 5000 a month. Even if we have to give out one-third, it will be more than this. You should just focus on preparing for the birth and don't think about these things. We will get this back sooner or later."

Lin Yan looked at him, and Fang Mingche said, "As you said, 30,000 a year, and it made my wife angry. I can't swallow this! But, give me some time."

Lin Yan nodded, "Yeah." She still believed in Mingqing on this point.

Han Mei went back and told Lin's father and Lin Yi about it. Lin Yi slapped his thigh and said, "The money went into someone else's pocket!"

Although my sister won't give him any money, he is still our family after all.

Father Lin sighed, "This is what they call business is like a battlefield! However, it's better to do less business. They have expanded their business, and I have always been a little worried. The travel agency business is good, so just focus on the travel agency business. The higher-ups support this!"

Han Mei said, "Last month, the travel agency bought a commercial vehicle and took money from the scrap yard."

She didn't know the exact amount of money, because she vaguely heard it from her sister and brother-in-law, but it was definitely not a small amount.

Father Lin frowned, "How come the more you run a business, the more money you need?"

Lin Yi understood it, "The car is valuable. It is a production tool and a necessary investment. If we do it for a few more years, it will be good to have accumulated some experience."

Father Lin glanced at him and said, "How could I really not know this? But doing business is really not easy!"

The next day, Lin's mother came back and took off the sheets and quilt covers and replaced them all with new ones for Lin's father. She was too lazy to carry them and told Han Mei to bring them over in the evening. If you have any large items to wash, bring them over as well."

"Okay, okay." Han Mei heard a few days ago that her sister and brother-in-law bought a washing machine, so it would be nice to be able to take a break.

However, "Can we wash it in the evening?

"It's not like we only have one set at home that we need to use. Besides, it dries quickly after washing and spinning. You can bring it back tomorrow evening."

Han Mei said: "Mom, is it really that convenient?"

"Yes, it has almost liberated women halfway."

"What about the other half?"

"Cook three meals a day. Well, your sister is now completely free. But she is worried that she will be too slow and won't be able to keep up with your brother-in-law. It seems that there is no time to do nothing."

When Fang Mingche returned home and heard his mother-in-law and A Yan repeating what had happened, he couldn't help laughing: Isn't this what people in later generations call lying flat?
Whenever Yanyan was stressed at work, she would come back and jokingly say, "Dad, why don't you leave me a fortune? If you did, I could just lie down and relax."

As they were talking, Yanyan came back. She was wearing a woolen skirt knitted by her mother and performed a lively dance for the elders.

Mother Lin's eyes widened, "Yanyan, isn't this what your Yuhong class teaches you?"

"No, I saw someone dancing this with a tape recorder on the street."

Mother Lin said, "Then don't learn it. We should learn from the good ones."

"Aren't they good?" Yanyan asked doubtfully. So many people were watching.

Fang Mingche thought to himself: You are quite good at imitating. This is break dancing, and it turns out that people in the capital have started to dance it.

"Those who wear bell-bottom pants and dance this kind of dance are not good people. You must not learn from them!" Lin's mother said firmly.

Yanyan looked at her parents who were silent, and found that they did not object to what her grandma said, so she could only say "Oh".

In private, Lin Yan said to Fang Mingche: "It's nothing, it's just the fashion that young people are pursuing nowadays. But Yanyan is so young, she really shouldn't learn this."

Fang Mingche thought: After a while, break dancing will not only be popular. Dance halls will also emerge, turning the more sophisticated ballroom dances abroad into "waist hugging dances".

But I definitely won’t take Yanyan to see that kind of place.
