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

Chapter 164 Sharing joys and sorrows
Gu Zhiguang rode his bicycle back with Fang Mingche. After riding for a while, he suddenly thought: What Xiaofang said must be something the police could have thought of. Even though the two thieves were so angry that they were beaten and hospitalized last night, the police could not use any interrogation methods, but they could definitely do a basic investigation.

Besides, Xiao Fang wouldn't have to come all the way to look for him. He could go there alone to ask around. Not to mention that he had Geng Shan, Gao Xiang and others as backup.

"Is it true that there is no one around here who can repair cars?"

Fang Mingche held the steering wheel of the car and nodded. If the police went to question or he went to inquire, maybe someone knew some secrets but would not take the initiative to tell them. After all, sometimes it is better to have less trouble than more, or it is not good to "betray" someone because of some relationship.

People nowadays have a weak sense of law and order and do not feel that they have the obligation to cooperate with the public security as citizens.

That's why Fang Mingche came to Gu Zhiguang for the same purpose. He was an outsider, so people who knew about it wouldn't tell him anything. Otherwise, what if he got revenge? Besides, everyone knew that he made money from his business, so maybe someone thought he deserved to be robbed.

Who made him so arrogant, driving his car in a show of strength? Why didn't people steal from others, but from him!

In this case, a local who was born and raised here and has a wide network of contacts is needed to step forward. It is said that the Gu family has lived in this area for several generations. Maybe if Gu Zhiguang stepped forward, there would be a different result.

Gu Zhiguang said: "Okay, I'll ask someone for help."

When it comes to collecting intelligence, he is indeed much more convenient than Fang Mingche.

Fang Mingche said, "You were quite a runner last night. I heard people say that you run by the river every morning, but I didn't take it seriously."

After Gu Zhiguang's leg had fully recovered, he began doing this exercise every day. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to catch a wheel for Fang Mingche last night.

But unfortunately, if one or two wheels are missing, the car can only be used as a decoration temporarily.

The two of them rode back, and Gu Zhiguang went out to find acquaintances and childhood friends to ask about the situation. He had no direction before, but now that he knew where to chase the lost person, and that person was quite good at removing wheels, he had a direction to ask.

Moreover, the man was very alert and a very good runner. Liu Qingfeng saw him from the big courtyard and ran to the small side courtyard, but he didn't speak until he got to the small side courtyard.

But when he got there, the man had already run to the wall and climbed up, then he and the person who was waiting outside the wall each took out a wheel and ran away.

The remaining two were caught because they didn't react fast enough.

The person who was supposed to meet him outside ran away earlier, so Gu Zhiguang chose to chase the second person. The person who climbed over the wall as Liu Qingfeng said was responsible for unloading the wheels. The other two who were caught were probably helpers, responsible for stacking up and handing over the unloaded wheels.

As for the outside, a tree stump was brought up from somewhere to support the foot. Standing on it, you can catch the wheel.

The two people who were arrested now said that they were not in the same group as the one who ran away. They just passed by and saw that Fang Mingche's car was missing two wheels, so they came in to get a piece of the pie. But as soon as they started, they were discovered by Liu Qingfeng, so they were accused of attempted theft.

The police laughed at the time, thinking we were fools? But the hospital was not a place for them to go, and the two were really badly beaten. The doctor only gave them a little time to ask about the basic situation.

But wait. Once you are out of the hospital and transferred to the police station, it will be easier to operate.

Fang Mingche wanted to take advantage of this time difference. He wanted to take advantage of the fact that the two were in the hospital, so that the police could not conduct interrogation. He and Gu Zhiguang would find the people first, and then send them to the hospital, so that they could be in good order!
At this moment, Gu Zhiguang went to ask someone about the situation in private, so Fang Mingche went home first.

Fang Chang was still lying close to his mother, sleeping on top of her. He seemed to be sleeping soundly, but he would still wake up on his own. Fang Mingche touched his head carefully, feeling distressed.

As for Yanyan, there was only one Children's Day a year. Fang Mingche sent her, Niuniu, and Song Chi out to play with Qin Hua, and gave them some pocket money. With Master He picking them up and dropping them off, it was safe.

Lin Yan whispered, "My mom told me not to hold the baby all day long, because it would occupy my hands all the time. I think that makes sense. But now, the child probably can't get out of my hands."

Her parents both had to go to work, and her grandmother had to cook, wash clothes, clean the house, etc. She basically played by herself in her crib during her infancy. Her mother said that she still got by.

Fang Mingche said, "Let's deal with this first. If we really can't get rid of it, we'll just have to accept it. You must be tired, how about I take your place?"

Lin Yan shook her head, "No, he's not familiar with your scent. If someone else smells it, he might wake up and start crying again."

The vision of a baby is only 0.1, and they rely on smell to distinguish people. Although they are small, their eyes are usually facing the direction of their mother when they fall asleep.

Fang Mingche couldn't help, so he had to sit down next to him, "What about you going to the toilet?"

You can't just carry it with you, right?

Of course, Lin Yan must be using the toilet now. After using it, Lin's mother immediately took it out and rinsed it in the toilet. This way, there would not be any smell in the house.

It is impossible for Lin Yan to wrap herself tightly every time when going to the toilet outside.

"That's right. My mom put my pants on and took them off for me just now."

In the evening, Gu Zhiguang, who had been running outside all afternoon, came to find Fang Mingche and said, "I found out. There is a Liu Sanwa in XX Hutong who can repair tractors, but he is not in this business. There are not many tractors in the city, and cars are also very rare. And he learned to repair tractors when he went to the countryside, and only a very few people know about it. But we can't knock on his door just because he can repair tractors."

To catch a thief, you have to catch the stolen goods! That night, those people covered their faces and didn’t see it.

Fang Mingche asked, "Is he close to the two hospitalized patients?"

The two of them didn't say anything and even used the time he was in the hospital to cover up for him.

Gu Zhiguang had naturally asked about this, "I heard he's quite familiar with her."

That should be correct!
"Where is his home?" Fang Mingche said as he poured a cup of tea and pushed it over. He could see that Gu Zhiguang looked very thirsty.

Gu Zhiguang picked it up and gulped down the drink. Then he said, "It's in the opposite direction to where we were chasing the lost people. I used that place as the center of the circle and asked many people to find out the answer."

The two hospitalized patients lived in the south and north, so he could only resort to this clumsy method of asking friends for help.

Fang Mingche raised an eyebrow. "In that situation, he was still trying to create confusion? Could it be that he hid the stolen goods in that direction?"

Gu Zhiguang thought for a moment and said, "It's possible. They must have failed to get rid of the wheel in time. The police are investigating."

With such clear clues, even if the police are short-handed, they will definitely be assigned to investigate this case.

"Then we have to mobilize more people. Some of them will go further in the direction where the missing person is, and some of them will wait near Liu Sanwa's home. Without further ado, we should go to his home now. Don't let him escape!"

If you really run away to the south, it will be difficult to find you.

Gu Zhiguang nodded. As soon as the two of them went out, they met Fang Mingfeng coming over, and he took a black taxi. He called the office and wanted someone to tell Fang Mingche to go to his place for dinner in two days. Then he heard Lingzi talk about what happened last night. He hurried over to see if there was anything he could do to help.

Fang Mingche nodded, "We have heard some information, let's go there first."

So they took the car that Fang Mingfeng was riding in and went straight to Liu Sanwa's house.

Fang Mingfeng said, "It's already been a whole day. If he had money, he might have already taken the train and fled."

"It's possible to hop on a train and run away even if you don't have money." Fang Mingche said. This is what he is worried about now. If he runs away, he may run away for several years!

When they went over, Gu Zhiguang spoke authentic Beijing dialect, claiming to be an educated youth who had gone to the countryside with Liu Sanwa, and went to inquire about the situation.

The Fang brothers were waiting outside.

After a while, Gu Zhiguang came out and said, "He's not at home. I don't know if he ran away or hid somewhere. And he disappeared with another young man from their compound."

Fang Mingche said, "Then we have to have someone keep an eye on this place. Now we can only look for the wheel first. Maybe if we find the wheel, we'll find Liu Sanwa."

To find the wheels, more people would be needed, and a large number of abandoned factories, cement pipes, and other places would be needed. To hide two wheels, and possibly stolen goods from other places, and to have people live there, a fixed, sparsely populated place was necessary.

The people who were waiting at Liu Sanwa's house also had to have some. If they hid outside, their family might send them food.

After dinner, Gao Xiang, the three retired soldier drivers from the travel agency, Liu Qingfeng, Geng Shan, Song Quan, Zhu Dahai and Hu Yong from the compound next door, as well as Gu Zhiguang and the Fang brothers all got on their bicycles and dispersed to look for such a place.

Liu Qingfeng was actually recuperating at home today; his arm hadn't fully recovered yet. But when he heard they were going to find the hidden location, he volunteered to go along. He sat on the back of Geng Shan's bicycle.

Lin's mother, Yuan's aunt, Gao's aunt, Gu's aunt and others watched them set off. All the bicycles in the compound were given to them.

Aunt Yuan said, "Fifteen people have gone. As long as the things have not left the city, they should be able to be found. The most important thing in this world is to be serious."

She felt that since the slum had shown so much unity this time, no one would dare to cause trouble again.

Of course, the fact that so many people attended this event had a lot to do with Xiao Fang. Of those fifteen people, one was his cousin, six depended on him for their livelihoods, and seven benefited from his influence.

Lin's mother also thought it should be okay. If they couldn't find it in one night, they could continue tomorrow night. It wouldn't be too late to go out at 7 and come back at 10.

The old people were just about to go back to their rooms, especially Aunt Gao, who was being helped back by Xiao Xie, when they heard Wang Dexian's mother, who had just stood there, say, "Why are you here just now? Xiao Fang and the others have already left."

When this happened, she asked Qin Hua to ride over to inform Wang Dexian. Now the two siblings rode over together on bicycles.

Wang Dexian said: "The meeting ended late, and I didn't know Xiaohua was here until I got home."

Mother Lin said, "Xiao Wang, you have already worked a day, so why don't you just not go. Fifteen of them have already gone."

Qin Hua jumped off the back of the bicycle, and Wang Dexian said, "Aunt Lin, this won't work. I can at least help find people and things. And I'm here if something happens, so it will be more timely than if you ask me later. Everyone has worked a day, so which direction did Xiao Fang go?"

His mother pointed directly, "Over there."

Wang Dexian turned the car around and chased after him.

After a while, the police came and asked Aunt Yuan, "Do they have any clues?"

With so many young and strong people riding bicycles there, they must have gotten the news.

Aunt Yuan spread her hands. "It's not that we have any clues. We are casting a wide net to find possible places where the stolen goods may be hidden. We know that you are too busy, so the young people in our compound have organized themselves spontaneously. Don't worry, I will report to you if I find any clues."

Maybe he said he was just looking for clues.

"The two people who were there yesterday are now in the hospital!" They really didn't know why these people were so actively looking for them and didn't even tell them?

Uncle Gu's face was cold, and he thought to himself: "You thief, you deserve a beating." But he couldn't say this out loud, because if he did, it would be like he was deliberately going to hit someone.

The public security officer said, "Alas, how come the intellectuals in your compound are so brave?"

Generally speaking, aren't intellectuals the best at compromise and concession?

Gu Zhiguang was one of the few college students in this area in the 1950s and 1960s. Last year, three people from this compound were admitted to college, which was the first among the nearby compounds. This year, another college student married into the family.

As a result, except for the female college student who got married this year and was pregnant and the female college student who was in confinement after giving birth in the small side courtyard, the other three people all participated.

Grandpa Gu said: "Intellectuals are also passionate at heart."

The people in the compound waited until after nine o'clock, and those who had left came back one after another. Fang Mingfeng brought back one of the wheels in his car, and sent the other to the police station as stolen property. He could go back and claim it after completing the formalities.

There are three wheels at home. Once this one is found and put on, the car can be driven. As for the spare tire, it doesn't matter if it is kept at the police station for a while.

Mother Lin looked around but didn't see her son-in-law. She asked anxiously, "Mingfeng, where's Mingche?"

Fang Mingfeng scratched his head, "Aunt Lin, he and Gu Zhiguang were taken away by the police."

This time, they found the stolen goods and the thieves. They picked out Wang Dexian, who was a public servant, and gathered two groups of people to beat up the two hiding thieves, and then notified the police.

Fang Mingche and Gu Zhiguang, the two leaders and main attackers, were also arrested for fighting.

Lin's mother's expression changed. "What will happen?"

Gao Xiang said, "Wang Dexian said that we were looking for stolen goods and happened to run into Liu Sanwa and his gang. Then when we surrounded them, there was a physical conflict, which was not considered an intentional gang fight. And people like me didn't fight either. So, it should be just a few days of administrative detention, and they will be fined and released. Of course, the school's honors, scholarships, etc. will have nothing to do with them in the future. Gu Zhiguang should not expect a salary increase in the short term."

If he went up, his glasses would fall off and he would be blind. So, he was only responsible for guarding the bicycle with Wang Dexian.

It was just an administrative penalty, not criminal responsibility, so everything else was easy to deal with. Fang Mingche had studied the relevant provisions beforehand, and he could definitely smooth things over with Lao Wang. This time he was just taking advantage of the imperfect legal system.

This will definitely be subject to criminal punishment in the future. And if you are beaten, fighting back will be considered mutual fighting. But now, everything is so chaotic, what's the point of them just following the rules? When the country is ruled by law in the future, they will definitely abide by the law.

Zhu Wenjuan said, "Aunt Lin, go pack some clothes for Fang Mingche and I'll send them over tomorrow morning."

Lin's mother has to take care of the mother and the newborn, and Yanyan also needs to be looked after, so she definitely can't leave.

He nodded and said, "Okay!" There was no need to be polite now, as the two families were now in the same boat.

After this incident, the shantytown will definitely not be rated as a model shantytown this year. But the people in the shantytown have no objection. After this incident, those who steal and rob will not dare to come to their shantytown in the future. Being more aggressive has its advantages!

Lin Yan knew about it but didn't say anything. Ming Che knew that she was furious. She was also very angry. Newborns are so fragile!

Yanyan murmured in confusion, "Dad beat up bad guys, why is he locked up?"

Lin Yan said: "Catching bad guys is the job of the police, and ordinary people have no power to enforce the law. If ordinary people do whatever they want, it will be a mess."

Last night, the two people were sent to the hospital, but the police didn't pursue anything. But today, there was another incident, and we definitely can't just let it go. But there are reasons for it, and we should handle it appropriately.

Wang Dexian had dealt with the relevant matters and came over to say something, asking the two families to just wait in peace.

Han Mei went home from get off work and told Lin's father and Lin Yi about this matter. Such a big thing happened, we must not ignore it.

Now that they had confirmed the news and knew there would be no criminal record, the family finally breathed a sigh of relief.

At this moment, Lin's mother said, "I've called Master He's car for you to go back. Lin Yi, tell Han Mei to come early tomorrow morning on working time and help here."

When the son-in-law is at home, it's always good to have one more person to help. If she is alone, she is afraid that she will be unable to handle everything. So she asked her daughter-in-law to stay and help for a few more days.

Lin Yi nodded, "Okay!"

When he got home, Lin Yi told his brother-in-law that he had been administratively detained.

"Mom asked you to go and do some work for a few days starting tomorrow."

Han Mei went to work at the travel agency for the first time today, and she was feeling fresh. But her brother-in-law was also the boss, so she had to accept the job. The next morning, she went to work just like she did at work, riding the only 28-inch bike in the house.

When she arrived, Lin's mother was putting a travel bag on Master He's car. Zhu Wenjuan took this car to the detention center. She no longer rides a bike to and from school, and she also hires Master He's car for round trips, 50 yuan a month. Uncle Gu paid for it!

As a young master in the old society, when Grandpa Gu had money, he was willing to spend it. Especially when it came to spending it where it mattered most! Wasn't it just the rent that was spent in the past few months? For his grandchildren, he was willing to spend anything.

Fang Mingche and Gu Zhiguang will definitely get a lesson in the next few days.

"You are intellectuals, but you have absolutely no respect for the law. If you are like this, won't it be even more difficult for us to educate ordinary people about the law?"

They had fought and vented their anger. Now they must have sincerely admitted their mistakes and promised not to do it again. What a great attitude to admit mistakes!
Wang Dexian called Mr. Wang and told him about this.

Mr. Wang didn't express his opinion, but he didn't say it was wrong for him to help. In the end, he just said, "I know!"

Third Brother Wang privately remarked to his cousin, "I never thought Xiao Fang was such a good fighter, even though he seems so gentle." If he really let it go, he'd be a complete loser. With such poor public security, how could one side be the only one to obey the law? However, in his position, he could only say this privately.

Wang Dexian said: "I didn't realize he was so good at fighting. Gu Zhiguang is not bad either!"

Gu Zhiguang could understand that he had to become brave after being sent to a labor camp. Otherwise, he would be bullied to death.
Xiao Fang, who has been teaching in his hometown, is no worse at fighting than those three retired soldiers. What use is he to?

In the past, when I saw him hitting the sandbags hanging under the tree, I thought it was just a fancy move to keep fit. But Yanyan would often hit them on her little sofa in a serious manner, making "hehehehe" sounds.

Wang Dezhi said, "Please take some time to look after the travel agency's business these days. After all, you get more than a thousand a month."

"I know. But as long as nothing unexpected happens, there's nothing to deal with. I think everything is on track now! But, Third Brother, don't mention the dividends! Xiao Fang is so motivated. He has set up overseas offices in Tokyo, and he probably wants to set up branches in other countries with direct flights. And now there is only one travel agency in the capital, and he must be unwilling to accept it. Just wait and see, when he has money in the future, he will definitely open branches in Nanjing, Xi'an, Luoyang and many other famous cultural cities."

"Anyway, didn't he say that he would distribute dividends once during the New Year?" And in this matter, you will get so many unexpected benefits in terms of money.

Zhu Wenjuan went to the detention center to deliver some clothes, and then rushed to school to attend the third and fourth classes. She also asked for five days off for Fang Mingche. Well, they would be detained for five days and fined 20 yuan.

The counselor was stunned. "The car thief was caught so quickly?"

"Well, we organized a dozen people from our compound, plus the retired soldier driver from the travel agency, to look for it everywhere. With enough manpower to focus on this one thing, it's not surprising that we found it in one day."

They scattered to search for the person they were looking for. Fortunately, Liu Sanwa and his companions had been able to hide outside for ten days or half a month before, so they did not try to escape by hopping on a train this time.

Fang Mingche's roommate Xu Menglu said, "You guys in the compound are so united? We even told Old Fang to let us know if he needs anything."

He and Lao Cheng did make a phone call after hearing the news, but they didn't expect that they would not be used. Well, he is seven or eight years younger than Fang Mingche, so he always calls him Lao Fang.

Zhu Wenjuan said, "I guess they didn't want you to lose the scholarship you were supposed to get. But the others who went with you were fine. Only Fang Mingche and my wife were arrested."

Old Cheng said: "The law does not punish everyone, so we arrested the leader to serve as a warning to others. However, Xiao Fang had previously wanted to seek admission to graduate school, but now that has also gone through the roof."

Because many people will start working after graduation, the competition for postgraduate study is not as fierce as the college entrance examination. Xiao Fang's grades are steadily improving, and he may have a chance in his senior year. But now, if he wants to study for a master's degree, he must take the exam himself.

However, it is not a big deal if it is just an administrative penalty. It will not affect the distribution of work, let alone the future generations. Anyway, Xiao Fang does not rely on the distribution of work.

It was a hot day, and Fang Mingche and Gu Zhiguang must have had a hard time staying in the detention center. But they had to endure it.

Fang Mingche even said to Gu Zhiguang in a humorous way: "I now understand why my wife wanted to take a bath and wash her hair so much during her confinement. I can be said to be sharing the joys and sorrows with her."

He couldn't stand the fact that the detention center would only allow people to wash in batches on fixed days. What's more, Yan couldn't wash for 40 days.

He looked at Gu Zhiguang and said, "Old Gu, I find you are very calm."

Gu Zhiguang glanced at him and said, "This is your first time in prison, right? I have a lot of experience. I was originally sent to a labor camp for reform. If there is any disturbance, I might be put in prison."

Fang Mingche nodded. It was indeed the first time. The first time in two lifetimes!
After they accepted the five-day punishment and paid the fine, the first thing Fang Mingche did was to take a shower.

When he came out of the bathroom after taking a shower, he saw Yanyan wandering outside the bathroom.

"What are you doing guarding the toilet?"

Yanyan ran over and hugged her father's legs, "Dad, you've suffered!"

"It's okay, it's okay." Fang Mingche felt that the little cotton-padded jacket was still considerate.

He bent down and hugged Yanyan, then put her down, "Is your brother feeling better?"

When he came home today, his mother-in-law placed a brazier at the door for him to wash himself in, and the bath water was also boiled with pomelo leaves for him. However, he would not dare to go into the house to see A-Yan and his youngest son until he had washed himself clean.

"I heard it's much better." But he kept his mother occupied all day long.

"Let's go see mom and brother." After Fang Mingche said this, he took Yanyan into the house to see his youngest son.

Fortunately, after a few days, Fang Chang finally stopped falling asleep and waking up in the middle of the night. Although the baby still can't sleep through the night, he wakes up in the middle of the night because he is hungry, not because he is frightened.

But the sequelae of the fall is that he needs his mother to hold him all day long, and they have to hold him skin to skin.

Lin Yan couldn't help but say, "You really don't dislike me!"

Not only did he not mind that she smelled because she hadn't taken a shower, he even wanted to go to the toilet with her.

Moreover, he doesn't recognize his father anymore!

Before, Fang Mingche would hug him from time to time, because he could recognize his father's scent and was not repulsed. Now, besides his mother, he would only accept a hug from his grandmother. And when his mother was around, his grandmother would not want him.

Fang Mingche could only sit on the edge of the bed and stare at Fang Chang Xiaopang.

"Why do I feel like I've changed?"

Mother Lin said: "Children change every day. It's normal for you to feel that he has changed after not being home for five days."

After her son fell asleep, Lin Yan reached out and poked Fang Mingche, "Book a room for me so I can take a shower tomorrow."

Fang Mingche said, "Why didn't you book it for today? I could enjoy it for a while."

"You can still take a shower tomorrow. In the middle of summer, shouldn't normal people take a shower every day?"

Mother Lin said, "That's not true! Have you forgotten that the capital is short of water? Many families only wash their clothes once every two or three days to save water. Only you two don't take the water bill seriously. You usually wash your clothes frequently!"

Fang Mingche said, "It's more comfortable to take a shower every day. Mom, you don't know, I've experienced what it's like not being able to take a shower whenever I want these few days. Okay, then bring Yanyan with you tomorrow, so that she can enjoy a single shower too."

Taking a shower alone is a real treat these days. The big bathhouse had no screen at all, and everyone was naked.

Yanyan nodded repeatedly. She had long been curious about the Beijing Hotel that was supposed to receive foreign guests. She often went to the Friendship Store and the Overseas Chinese Store with her mother. She knew that everything related to foreign guests was good stuff.

Mother Lin then whispered to Lin Yan: "It's such an expensive room, wouldn't it be good if you cleaned it like that the other day?"

"I'm almost choking, so I'm just going out for some fresh air."

She had been in a room for more than 20 days, and something happened during that time, which made her very worried. Now that her little son would not wake up from his sleep, and Mingche would return safely without leaving a criminal record, she could just celebrate.

Han Mei, who had collected the clothes and brought them in, hesitated for a moment and said, "Sister, can I go with you to take a look?" That was a place to receive foreign guests, so the conditions must be very good.

"Sure, it's a one-day package anyway. It's no problem for you and Lin Yi to stay there for a night. It's just the same price for taking a shower or staying overnight."

If she could, she would like to stay for one night. But unfortunately, she definitely can't.

Fang Mingche said, "Yes, you and Lin Yi can stay there for one night, so it won't be a waste. When Changchang is out of confinement, Mom and Dad can go and try it too."

Mother Lin waved her hands, "It's so expensive, I won't go. I can't bear it!"

Thinking about how Father Lin had even mentioned to them that they could eat almost two kilograms of meat at the beginning, Fang Mingche did not mention it again. There is indeed a generation gap between the two generations.

That night, Fang Mingche hosted a banquet at Boss Cui's house for the group of people who helped him catch the thief, and Wang Dexian also came.

During the meal, they opened a bottle of Maotai, the kind sold outside. Cui's wife bought the goods on the black market, and then made a little more money for herself, charging 15 yuan per bottle.

"Come on, everyone, don't be polite! Sorry to bother you this time." Fang Mingche walked around with the wine and filled everyone's glasses.

Hu Yong said: "It was just a small effort, you don't have to be polite, Mr. Fang."

Zhu Dahai nodded, "Yes, Teacher Fang, you're welcome!"

He and Fang Mingche have finally made peace. As for Hu Yong and others, they brought Qi Shun and the people from the vegetable market together to hold a meeting and unify the vegetable prices. Now it's not too salty or bland! The main reason is that they were seriously injured by the price war between Hu Yong and Qi Shun a while ago, and they are still slowly recovering.

Fang Mingche was naturally happy that there were no enemies among the people in the compound. As I said before, his family was full of women and children except him, so he had to be more careful. He was already very upset that his youngest son had been frightened this time.

Fang Mingche raised his glass, "Come on, let's have a drink first. From now on, no one will dare to steal or rob in our compound at will."

No matter how low-key you are, it is better to show such a brave side. The key is that the young and strong people in the whole compound are very united, so those who want to do something should think twice. It is not certain that you can eat well when you come here! The four people who came back this time have just been discharged from the hospital.

Public security is poor nowadays, and it would be best if the people in the slum could work together.

Gu Zhiguang nodded, "Come on, let's do it all."

The next day, June 6th, was also a Sunday.

Fang Mingche woke up early in the morning and saw Yanyan tearing the calendar. He slapped his forehead and said, "I almost missed this day."

Yanyan turned around and said, "Dad, is there anything important today? We just need to go to the Beijing Hotel to take a shower."

Fang Mingche thought to himself: Today is the day your grandfather broke his leg in his previous life.

He had thought about it before, and he had specially seen that it was Sunday. He was planning to ask his father-in-law to come over and spend the night here, perfectly avoiding the place where he fell in his previous life. But the wheel was stolen and his son was frightened, and he almost forgot about it.

After breakfast, Fang Mingche drove over to pick up Lin's father, Lin Yi, and Han Mei.

Father Lin said, "I'm not going to take a shower, so I won't go."

No matter how good the conditions were, it was not a place one could enjoy everyday. He was more pragmatic, just like Lin's mother. He had no intention of going there to eat foreign food.

Lin Yi and Han Mei were very happy. They packed their clothes for changing last night and fell asleep late at night. Now their brother-in-law drove over to pick them up, which made them even more excited.

If Father Lin hadn't warned them not to show off outside to avoid attracting the envy and jealousy of others, they wouldn't know how many people they would have told.

The main reason was that the Gu family and the families of their elder sister and brother-in-law had been robbed one after another, so they became more vigilant and kept their mouths shut. Although they knew that others would not attack their family for this reason, what if? What if others thought that they had benefited from the help of many people in their elder sister and brother-in-law's family, and maybe their elder sister even gave them a lot of money from her parents?

Fang Mingche said, "Dad, you don't have to take a shower, but you can go over to see Yanyan and Changchang."

Speaking of his granddaughter and grandson, Father Lin immediately gave up and got into the car.

On this day, Fang Mingche picked up Lin Yan and her daughter, as well as his brother-in-law and his wife who were hitchhiking. He did not take a shower himself. He stayed at home playing chess with his father-in-law.

We might as well let the old man stay here at night since the small room is empty.

"I have to go to work tomorrow morning."

Fang Mingche said, "It's okay. I'll drive you back tomorrow. It'll be a piece of cake."

The day passed uneventfully, and Fang Mingche breathed a sigh of relief. Before going to bed, he went to see his youngest son, but the little guy still refused to let him hold him.

He touched his tender face with the back of his fingers, "Sure enough, everything can be changed."

The father-in-law avoided the disaster in his previous life just by not staying at home. Then the car accident that Ah Yan suffered 17 years later could definitely have been avoided.

A few days later, on June 6, the 15 yuan mortgage loan came in. Gao Xiang came over and showed Fang Mingche the bank passbook.

"Wu Mingju's passport and visa are ready. Now he can buy a plane ticket and leave! I'll take 15,000 and exchange it with him for Japanese yen. The exchange rate is 50% higher than the bank's current exchange rate. The remaining 5,000 will be exchanged for cultural products to bring to him or mail to him."

Song Quan took great pains to help arrange those cultural products. Some were from their cooperative, some were from other brother units in the capital, and some were from other places, such as the clay sculptures of Tianjin Clay Figure Zhang.

Now the things have been carefully packed, filled with foam and straw, and placed in Yanyan's room. Well, she has left a piece of each to play with.

Wu Mingju and Cui Yingqi brought back a lot of Japanese yen, and no one knew how they brought it back. But since they were able to sneak out, it was not surprising that they brought back some Japanese yen.

They also know that foreign exchange, even if it's not the US dollar, is currently very advantageous in China. After all, we also import a lot of things from Japan, such as electrical appliances and cars. Therefore, the yen exchange rate is also bullish.

Therefore, they both kept it privately and did not go to the bank or exchange it on the black market.

But this time, the travel agency asked Wu Mingju to exchange the currency, and raised the exchange rate by 50%, which was not much lower than the black market. He couldn't refuse to exchange the currency.

As for Qiu Yin, the travel agency paid for her round-trip airfare. After she arrived, she slept directly on the sofa or on the floor in Teacher Qiu's room. She also tried to cook her own meals.

Or, the father and daughter could go visit an old friend of Mr. Qiu. In short, they would try to reduce expenses as much as possible.

Qiu Yin went to Paris and London this time mainly to familiarize herself with the situation.

In addition, Yingzi, who had worked for a month as a clerk for free at a travel agency, was also about to board a plane to the U.S. All of a sudden, three of the people I knew were going abroad.

Lin Yan held her one-month-old son in her arms and said, "It seems like going abroad has become much easier all of a sudden!"

She had never thought about going abroad before.

Fang Mingche said, "It will become more and more convenient. I am also planning to develop the overseas travel business. Qiu Yin and Wu Mingju are going out to explore the way. I asked them to not only attract tourists from abroad, but also think about how to bring a small number of Chinese people who have become rich through business to travel abroad."

Even if the UK is not realistic, Japan can really do it. It is so close, it only takes three hours to fly from the capital. The time difference is only one hour. In fact, it is much shorter than the travel time of many domestic tours. Domestic infrastructure is just like that now.

Lin Yan was shocked. "How many people would want to go out? It's not cheap."

Fang Mingche said, "We can form a group if we gather ten people. Let's see how things develop after Wu Mingju goes there. Now we all know the passport and visa application procedures. I'm even thinking about going to Tokyo during the summer vacation."

He told Wu Mingju that he would try to go over and take a look during the summer vacation. With so much money spent, it was only right for him to show some concern for the progress.

Lin Yan said, "Well, summer vacation is quite convenient. And the summer vacation is long, so it will be convenient for you to take Yanyan back to your hometown. So do we need to apply for a passport and visa now?"

"Ah."

When Yanyan heard about this, she immediately said, "Dad, I want to go with you. I can speak simple English and Japanese."

Teacher Qiu has been teaching the little girl these two foreign languages for the past few months. She learns really fast, faster than Yingzi and Hanmei!
Fang Mingche nodded, "Okay."

Anyway, didn't he bring Yan Yan to Beijing with him even though the conditions were so bad before? Now they are in Tokyo, Japan, where the conditions are much better than before.

Fang Chang is about to turn one month old. However, Lin Yan cannot entertain guests in June, and Fang Mingche has to prepare for the final exam. So the couple discussed and decided to hold a hundred-day banquet. It will be held at the end of August, just in time for the start of school.

Well, Lin Yan is taking a year off from school, so even if her child is 100 days old, she won't go to school next semester. She has to wait until after the Lunar New Year!
The child is still young, I can’t let go!

After get off work in the afternoon, Han Mei followed everyone in a business car to have dinner. Seeing Yan Yan was so happy, she was so beautiful that she almost danced.

She asked, "Yanyan, do you have any good news? Share it with your aunt."
