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

Chapter 166 A big order has arrived
Lin Yan held her youngest son and watched Xiao Xie walk out. Go ask Aunt Gao for advice? Aunt Gao has been with the people in the compound for more than 20 years, so she might know how to handle this matter properly.

But I guess Aunt Gao wouldn't give Xiao Xie any ideas. After all, Xiao Xie isn't pregnant right now, she just wants to work at a travel agency. If she really gets pregnant, I guess she'll ask her sister to take care of her for a year, and no one in the compound will say anything. Everyone has relatives coming, and it's not good for you to report me today and I report you tomorrow. It's not like it's been ten years!

After learning about this, Lin's mother said, "If it were really those ten years, the relationship in the compound would actually be better. At that time, everyone was poor and lived a frugal life, so there were no conflicts. It's not like now, where some are poor and some are rich. Moreover, the conflicts between Zhu Dahai and Hu Yong were probably just suppressed, and not really resolved."

"Then, mom, do you think Aunt Gao will help Xiao Xie find a solution?"

Mother Lin shook her head. "Xiao Xie came to the capital just to have someone take care of her mother-in-law. She wants to work in a travel agency and earn a high salary. If she wants her sister to take her place, her mother-in-law may not agree. Unless it was Teacher Gao's idea and she insisted on it! Don't meddle in other people's business."

Lin Yan thought: That might be possible! It seems that Teacher Gao and Xiao Xie have developed feelings for each other. Xiao Xie is ambitious, and Teacher Gao also hopes that she can improve in all aspects.

Fang Mingche slept for more than three hours and missed dinner. He called him but couldn't wake up! He must have been exhausted from all these days. He had to take care of business matters and final exams, and take care of the women and children at home, which was quite tiring.

When they went to Boss Cui's house for dinner, Yanyan asked her mother, "Do you want to bring food back for Dad?"

Lin Yan thought for a while and said, "Forget it, I'll just make him some fried rice later. Your dad is picky and likes to eat fresh, freshly cooked food." Now that she has the conditions, she can accommodate him.

"Oh."

Fang Mingche spent the next two days recuperating at home. On the afternoon of June 6, he drove Teacher Qiu, Qiu Yin, Wu Mingju, and Yingzi to the International Terminal of the Capital Airport.

There were only five seats in the pickup truck. Mr. and Mrs. Zhou and Lingzi and her brother and sister carried their own benches and sat in the back compartment, staying together with the suitcase.

Fang Mingche felt that Lao Zhou was really stingy! It wouldn't cost much to take Master He's car for a round trip. People who didn't know the background would never think that the Zhou family was actually a millionaire by looking at Lao Zhou's behavior.

Moreover, if they took Master He's car, they would not have to wait for Wu Mingju to fly away and then take their own ride back. You know, Wu Mingju's flight was two hours later than Yingzi's.

However, out of respect for other people's lifestyles, Fang Mingche did not say much!
Wu Mingju flew directly to Tokyo, Japan, and brought with him a few intangible cultural heritage products that were easy to carry. For the other items that were difficult to carry, he would send his address back after he settled down, and we would send them by sea. The Japanese language group was responsible for following up on this matter.

If this business makes money, the entire Japanese group will be able to share the benefits according to their rank and contribution. Cui Yingqi, the leader of the Japanese group, and Qin Tian, who is under his guidance, are very concerned about this. Han Mei, who just joined the company, was also assigned to the Japanese group to help Qin Tian. Han Mei is probably the one who runs the errands.

Han Mei had no objection. The Japanese language group was about to set up a branch overseas. The Japanese language group had a greater chance of going overseas! She worked diligently for 24 yuan in the first month. When she had no specific affairs to handle, she studied Japanese at her workstation.

This attitude towards work and study made Lin Yi a little surprised. "If you had this kind of drive when you were in high school, you would have been admitted to a junior college at least."

Teacher Qiu, Qiu Yin and Yingzi could fly to Paris together. After getting off the plane, Qiu and his daughter took a two-hour train to London. Yingzi continued to transfer to New York (13+7 hours). The tickets were purchased by the travel agency.

All four of us were in economy class. However, we didn't think it was a hardship. The longest we had to sit was 20 hours.

Fang Mingche and Yanyan spent three days and two nights in hard seats in Kyoto. This is the condition of China's current infrastructure. So, by comparison, flying in economy class is not that hard.

Teacher Qiu is in great spirits now. He has taken off his hat and can live with his head held high. He even had his hair permed before going on a long trip, and he looks ten years younger.

Being seconded to the government investment promotion office must have accelerated his delisting process. Otherwise, more than 10,000 people across the country would have been implicated. Even if a memorial service was held, they would have lined up to come one after another.

Qiu Yin and Teacher Qiu also carried some convenient intangible cultural heritage products in their luggage. Teacher Qiu planned to take these as gifts when visiting old friends. He did not plan to hold a private exhibition like Wu Mingju did.

Fang Mingche arrived an hour and a half early because he had to go through security checks. And the ticket check would stop half an hour before the plane took off. He would spend most of this afternoon at the airport.

Yingzi's family of five said goodbye reluctantly, and Fang Mingche stayed with Wu Mingju and Qiu Yin, father and daughter.

Fang Mingche said, "After you get out, you can do whatever you want. I just want to be satisfied with the result."

Qiu Yin and Wu Mingju nodded. They both cherished this job and would definitely do it well.

In the capital, they earn 300 yuan a month, which is eight to ten times more than outside. With such a big gap, medical reimbursement, housing, and annual festival benefits can be ignored.

Not to mention that if they go abroad, their income will be more substantial. Work is the foundation for them to settle down! Especially Wu Mingju is going to earn a high salary this time. Qiu Yin has also completely turned the page and opened a new chapter in her life.

Both of them were slightly excited at this moment.

As for Yingzi, Lingzi whispered to her behind her parents and brother's back: "When you get there, make sure to keep your passport and money safe. This way, if anything happens, you won't be left without a way out."

This is what Lingzi had asked Fang Mingche privately before. After all, she gave this opportunity to her sister. If something bad happened in the past, wouldn't her sister take the blame for her? It's better to be safe than sorry.

Fang Mingche thought about it and told her these two points.

Yingzi nodded, "Sister, I've got it. You should try to come to New York to work as soon as possible! Then we can be reunited and take care of each other."

At the age of 16, she left her country and hometown alone, and she is now worried.

Lingzi nodded. "If nothing unexpected happens, I will go there when the travel agency has enough money to set up a branch in New York. Teacher Fang has already given me the confirmation."

Now we can only hope that this day will come sooner. The two sisters have slept in the same bed since they were young, and there will be quarrels sometimes. But their feelings are still very deep.

The announcement started to call people to board the plane. Fang Mingche looked over and saw that there were quite a few people on this weekly flight to Paris. Basically, people who want to go to Europe and the United States now fly to Paris first and then transfer to other buses or planes.

The capital has a population of 900 million and covers a wide area. After all, the capital and Shanghai are the only two major cities that can fly directly abroad. It seems normal for people to be able to get a flight together in a week.

The three of them have checked in their luggage and are now going through security together.

Fang Mingche waved, "Have a safe journey!"

When flying, you can't wish people a safe journey. The most frightening thing about flying is the wind.

The three of them turned around and waved, "Goodbye--"

After sending them off, Fang Mingche said, "Then Lao Zhou, you and your family stay here. We'll meet in the parking lot in two hours."

"Oh, okay, okay."

The Capital Airport today doesn't even have a coffee shop, let alone other services.

During these two hours, Fang Mingche and Wu Mingju stayed in the terminal hall and chatted casually.

"It feels different this time, right?"

Wu Mingju smiled and said, "It's definitely different! This time I'm going there with my head held high and as a tourist. I'll find a hotel to stay in first, and then rent a house in an area with a high cost-effectiveness and a high concentration of cultural people tomorrow."

The travel agency gave me 20,000 RMB to exchange for Japanese yen, and this money must be used wisely.

Fang Mingche nodded. To promote intangible cultural heritage products, the target must be cultural people. Moreover, such people often have a high social status and are more willing to travel to China. There is nothing wrong with this idea!

"Don't be too anxious, take it easy."

Wu Mingju nodded. "Once I have the license, can I buy some Japanese products and sell them back home? This way I can make a profit from the price difference and also reduce the burden on travel agencies."

Fang Mingche thought about it and said, "Let's not do it. We will have trouble going to the customs later. We will be affiliated with the Ministry of Culture at that time. We must behave better in all aspects and not give others a handle. You personally, don't think about making a profit from the price difference. I am a high salary to maintain my integrity!"

Wu Mingju nodded seriously, "Okay, I understand."

Lingzi's family of four were also sitting in the waiting hall for Yingzi. Lingzi wanted to say, "Why don't we just take a taxi and go back? What are we doing sitting here for two hours?"

She now earns more than 70 yuan a month, and when the business in Tokyo is successful, she can get more dividends. I really think it is unnecessary to save two dollars on the black taxi fee!

But the family's money is managed by Dad, and he is reluctant to spend it like this. And Lingzi can't say "I'll pay for it", she will definitely scold you, "You have too much money to burn? If you have too much money to burn, just give it all to Dad for safekeeping."

She could only continue to sit there feeling depressed.

In fact, she and her sister were lying together last night and discussed whether they should give so much money to their father after earning it.

Yingzi said, "I won't send 80% back as my father asked. I won't let everything belong to my brother. I didn't drop out of school to go to the United States to take care of my uncle just for my brother."

Lingzi said: "Then you run far away, he can't do anything to you. I'm very close!"

Yingzi started laughing. "I don't even send money home, but you still hand over so much. You asked for it!"

At this moment, Lingzi felt that it would be better for her not to live at home all the time. Otherwise, she would have no control over her salary. She earned her own salary, but she would be scolded for buying a bottle of soda!
Before being sent to the United States, she had to manage the bulk of her salary herself.

This time, my sister took away 1500 US dollars, which she exchanged for more than 4000 RMB. Teacher Fang returned all the money to her family, and after calculating the interest, she still had more than 4000 RMB left. She still had 4000 RMB left after buying the plane ticket.

In this case, if she didn't hand over 80% of her salary, she couldn't be said to be unfilial. She really couldn't understand why the family lived like this when they were obviously not poor.
I said before that I was trying to raise money for her so that she wouldn't be penniless when she went to the United States. So why would I waste two hours here just for two dollars?
Her father's excuse was, "There's a ride available. I only took half a day off, so why rush back?"

Fang Mingche sent Wu Mingju to the security check and then went to the parking lot. Lingzi and her family were already waiting for him.

He smiled and said, "Let's go."

Now we can all sit in the front. The small bench at the back makes some noises when braking, and it was probably not very convenient to sit in it without a place to hold on to.

When they returned to the small courtyard, Lingzi's family of four thanked them and went home.

Lin Yan held Chang Chang, who had just woken up, and waited under the tree, "Look, Dad is back——"

Fang Mingche squatted in front of his youngest son and reached out to touch him. Kexi had already fallen asleep and did not object to being held by his father.

"Have Mom and Yanyan gone out?"

"Yanyan went to make candy figures, and mom followed her. She said she wanted to keep an eye on her so that she wouldn't eat too much candy and lose her appetite, and then lose her ability to eat her meals."

Now that Lin Yan is out of confinement, her mother is much more relaxed. However, Lin Yan still doesn't eat with everyone because she needs to breastfeed. Her mother still cooks for her at home.

Lin Yan's energy and spirit have not yet fully recovered, so her mother will stay for a while longer.

Now Han Mei has also gone to work, so Lin's father and Lin Yi can only eat in the factory cafeteria. Lin's mother is not too worried, and she estimates that she will go back in ten days or half a month.

Lin Yan didn't have to work or go to school, and could look after the children by herself. This was already a very relaxed staffing arrangement at this time.

Fang Mingche nodded. "Well, let's take my parents, Lin Yi, and Han Mei out for a Western meal this Saturday night. Ask them if they want to go to Lao Mo's or somewhere else? The prices are about the same."

His mother-in-law really helped a lot this time. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to do so many things.

Lin Yan said: "Then I guess he wants to go to Lao Mo. Lao Mo has a special status in the hearts of the people in the capital."

"Okay, then let's go to Lao Mo and convince our dad!"

He didn't want to be criticized for spending money, or be short of someone. But fortunately, compared to Lao Zhou who was stingy even though he had money and even asked his daughter to hand over 80% of her salary, his father-in-law's frugality was normal.

"Then is it your idea or Lao Zhou's idea to pay back all the money?"

Fang Mingche said, "I mean, I don't want to take the blame. Otherwise, Old Zhou will say that their family is having a hard time because they lent money to the travel agency."

Lin Yan nodded. That was true. Moreover, their debt should indeed be reduced.

The money in the account now is mainly used to save for buying two more commercial vehicles, and also to prepare for the expenses needed for Qiu Yin's trip to London at the end of the year.

As for personal accounts, I paid back another thousand to Mr. Gu at the end of this month. Now I still owe him two thousand!
As for the travel agency, it now owes Boss Cui 5,000 yuan and the bank 30,000 yuan.

"By the end of the year, have you also paid back the 5,000 yuan to Boss Cui?"

Fang Mingche nodded, "I'll pay it back, and from now on I'll only owe the bank money."

Borrowing from a private person not only requires high interest, but also indebtedness. This is a last resort when you cannot get a loan. As you accumulate more money, you won't have to worry about that anymore.

Lin Yan said: "Two scrap yards and a pickup truck are enough. Then save all this money in the future?"

Fang Mingche said, "Save it for now."

There are only a limited number of houses available for purchase nowadays. He doesn't really like the houses in Tuanjiehu Community. Not to mention the houses further away. So he'll save them for now!

The scrap yard will see a big development in a few years as the industry develops and the amount of scrap increases. But in 1980, the only people willing to throw away scraps were the people in the Overseas Chinese Apartments. Looking at the account books, the scraps from the Overseas Chinese Apartments alone accounted for % of the two stores' monthly waste.

If I don't buy a car, I can save most of the money from the two scrap yards. Based on the current income, I can save 70,000 yuan a year! If I can save this money, I should not be short of money next year.

Fang Mingche said this very optimistically, but who knew that Lin Yan would actually scoff at his words.

"Come on, I guess I'll have to fill it out at the travel agency later. You've already said 'If you don't plan for eternity, you can't plan for the moment.' I don't even know how far you've come!"

Applause could be heard at the door. Wang Dexian stood there and said, "That's right, that's right. Every time he promised me a profit, I had the same reaction."

There is no shortage of money! Obviously, it will become more and more scarce. There must be branches in major cities such as Tokyo, London, and New York abroad, and there must be branches in the four ancient civilizations in China. How could there be spare money in the past few years?

Fang Mingche was complained by his wife and partners, and he calmly said: "We must distribute dividends once during the Chinese New Year! Facts speak louder than words."

Wang Dexian came over and looked down at Fang Chang who was being held by Fang Mingche.

"This kid has changed so much!"

He actually really wants children, after all, he is already 26 years old. However, Yang Mei doesn't want to have a child yet, saying she will wait until she is 28. Now she can only look at other people's sons with envy.

Fang Mingche said, "Please follow up with the Ministry of Culture later."

He estimated that Wu Mingju would be able to make a breakthrough in about ten days. Under the premise that there is a reward for hard work, people's subjective initiative is very strong!

Fang Mingche has high hopes for selling intangible cultural heritage products abroad. The bamboo dragons woven by Lao Song are very popular as souvenirs given to tourists. They also bring a lot of business to Lao Song. The sales of his bamboo woven twelve zodiac animals have made a significant breakthrough. Other people in the handicraft cooperative also benefited from it.

This time, no one said behind Fang Mingche's back that he was holding a grudge. As for the difference he made from it, no one dared to complain about it. Otherwise, if they just didn't help you sell, you would lose a lot.

Just from this incidental business, the travel agency earned more than a thousand last month. Now it is too much trouble to deliver the goods from thousands of miles away. Moreover, we have to hand over 10% of the profit to the Ministry of Culture, so we must make more money!

Fang Mingche estimated that in the early stages, selling intangible cultural heritage products might be able to support the expenses in Japan.

Wang Dexian nodded, "Okay!"

Father Lin was persuaded to go to a western restaurant. As the saying goes, Moscow Western Restaurant has a special status in the hearts of the people in the capital.

On Saturday night, Fang Mingche drove to pick him up with Lin Yi and Han Mei, and then the whole family went straight to Lao Mo. Even little Fang Chang went, lying in the stroller.

He must have been carried when they went there, and was put in a stroller when they arrived. There was not enough space, so Lin Yi and Han Mei sat in the back carriage.

After entering, Lin Yi's eyes lit up. The furnishings here were based on the Russian palace, very gorgeous. He had heard of this place since he was a child, but in the past, only the children of high-ranking officials could come here. The consumption threshold here is too high! When he sat down, he couldn't help but touch the seat, it was so beautiful!
Han Mei asked, "How is it? It's comfortable to spend money like your brother-in-law, right?"

"You're talking nonsense."

Han Mei was a little speechless when she saw Lin Yi, who wanted to live a good life but was just getting by at work. Forget it, just enjoy the western food tonight. You can't afford it by yourself!
Mother Lin picked up the knife and took a look at it, then whispered, "This can clearly see the person."

The waiter who took the order came over and she quickly put it away. She couldn't let anyone think she was an ignorant country bumpkin.

No one else knew how to order Western food, so Fang Mingche simply took care of it all.

"That's all for now!"

"OK, just a second."

When it was time to cut the steak, Yanyan demonstrated to her grandparents, "Fork in left hand, knife in right hand. Drink the soup with a spoon, don't lift it up. Also, don't drink it loudly."

Father Lin said: "Oh, my Yanyan is really amazing, she can even eat Western food!"

In the past few days, Wu Mingju and Qiu Yin have sent telegrams back to report the progress. There is no other way. Although it is not expensive to call back according to the local income, but now we are living on our savings abroad, we should save as much as possible. Anyway, the telegram will only be one or two days late. It is not an important and urgent matter, so we sent a telegram.

Yingzi did call back, using her uncle's phone. She called Lingzi and told her what she had seen.

As Lingzi's family expected, her uncle had a minor stroke last month. Although he was not paralyzed or incontinent, he still needed someone to take care of him. No wonder it was her cousin who basically handled the phone calls.

Also, the guy with a green card that my uncle's family introduced to Yingzi is already in his thirties and his family is in debt. I heard that he has worked in their family for many years and the family supermarket business cannot do without him.

Originally, if Lingzi had gone there, she could have gone through the marriage procedures directly since she was already 18 years old. But Yingzi, who was only 16 years old, needed the signature of her guardian. The Zhou couple couldn't get over it, and they didn't want to marry their underage daughter to a man who was more than twice her age and whose family was in debt.

Therefore, Yingzi planned to postpone the marriage for the time being. At worst, when her tourist visa expired, she would also stay in Hong Kong.

Now she is responsible for taking care of her uncle's food, clothing, housing and transportation, and she has to work in the supermarket for half a year when she is free. Her uncle and aunt give her $600 a month for food and accommodation.

"Sister, I plan to get familiar with the land first. My uncle and I opened a joint account, and it's all my money. I saved it all. Working in the supermarket allows me to wear work clothes, and there is basically no expense. I will take good care of my uncle and please my cousins."

Lingzi was very worried, "You are alone outside, you must protect yourself well."

"I will. I save at least $500 a month, which is $3000 in half a year. When I have $4000, I can think of other things."

Lingzi said, "You should be more careful. Just like I told you before, your passport and money must be under your own control."

She felt that things might not be as simple as Yingzi thought. But now there were thousands of mountains and rivers between them, and she couldn't help at all. She could only hope that she could get there as soon as possible.

Fang Mingche basically worked at the travel agency for the next few days to deal with the squeeze. He stayed in the capital for the time being, mainly to wait for the exact news from Wu Mingju.

All the items that were brought and mailed were numbered. When there was an order, they would just report the number. Then they would do the whole process of purchasing and mailing.

After dinner in the evening, Fang Mingche would go to a nearby elementary school to teach Lin Yan how to drive.

He donated some stationery to the primary school. But he had to wait until the school was over in the afternoon and there were no more students in the school.

Lin Yi also came over to learn, and he sat in the second row. Han Mei also came, but she was in the office and it was not her turn yet. They took turns learning with Lin Yan.

Lin Yi took the bus after dinner, and then rode his bike home with Han Mei after learning. It was like Fang Mingche taking three apprentices by himself. Driving schools in later generations also have basically the same configuration, and pickup trucks are often used.

Mother Lin pushed the stroller and brought Yanyan over, watching from the side.

Yanyan also wanted to get in the car, but Fang Mingche disagreed.

"Who said that you can have children in the car when you are learning to drive? Just stay by the side. When you are old enough, Dad will buy you a car to learn from."

Yanyan asked, "Dad, are you going to paint a pie for me too?"

Lin Yan laughed out loud, but Lin Yi and Han Mei didn't dare to laugh out loud and tried hard to hold it back.

Fang Mingche said, "She's not even five years old yet. Will I still be unable to buy a car for my daughter in thirteen or fourteen years?"

A few people looked at each other and thought that they should be able to afford it!
Fang Mingche snorted and said, “You can’t guess how cheap cars will become by then!”

Lin Yan said to Yan Yan, "Don't talk nonsense. Your father will never make a fuss for you two. Just wait, and then our Yan Yan will have a car.

Yanyan immediately laughed. But, "Why do we have to wait thirteen or fourteen years?"

Fang Mingche scratched her nose lightly, "Because by then, all kinds of rules and regulations and legal provisions will surely be very sound. You must wait until you are 18 years old to take the driver's license test. Lin Yi, if you want to borrow my car occasionally, you must also have a driver's license."

"Ah?" Lin Yi really didn't plan to take the test, he was too lazy to bother. Who would check that thing nowadays? But now that my brother-in-law asked to borrow a car, I had no choice but to take the test.

On the way back, Han Mei said, "I see you're really serious about learning how to drive!"

It was a hot day, and he had to come here after a long day of work. I asked him to come pick me up, but he refused.

"What man wouldn't want to learn how to drive? It's just that others don't have the conditions. I have this condition, so I must cherish it."

That day, Lin Yan looked at the calendar that Yan Yan had torn off and couldn't help but say, "It's the annual college entrance examination again."

It's July 7th again!

"Luckily I passed the exam last year. Otherwise I wouldn't even be eligible to register this year."

This year, only those with a high school diploma or equivalent can apply. She only has a junior high school diploma.

Fang Mingche said, "If you are willing, it is not very complicated to go to high school to sign up for the equivalent academic qualification exam. The country has made such arrangements mainly to increase the college entrance examination admission rate. If there is no threshold, the workload of the college entrance examination paper marking will be much greater. The college entrance examination has been resumed for three years, and the candidates who have been waiting for ten years have all taken the exam. If it really doesn't work, then you can take the equivalent academic qualification certificate as I said."

There was no further news from Wu Mingju, so he was a little anxious. But he held back and didn't call to urge him. There was a public telephone booth outside the house Wu Mingju rented.

The yen he brought was used to rent a house in an area where cultural people gathered. It wouldn't take too long. Wu Mingju himself must have been very anxious, after all, every day of delay would increase the cost.

Qiu Yin's gift was a smooth one. Well, of course, the cost was paid by the Investment Promotion Office. At most, he gave me a wholesale price, which made a little less profit. Many of the things in it were contacted by other places after making a lot of efforts, and then they were packaged and sent over. It was definitely impossible not to charge. The difference was actually enough to cover Qiu Yin's air ticket and expenses.

Qiu Yin called back using the phone number of her father's old classmate, saying that they wanted it. Fang Mingche asked her to wait a while until the formalities were completed. By then, she could even open a store in London. She could then convert her tourist visa into a work visa. The embassy would definitely help with export and foreign exchange. Then Qiu Yin might not even have to come back.

Lin Yan went out and asked her mother, "Is Qiming taking the college entrance examination?"

Lin's mother, who was preparing her own meals, said, "No, he said he would definitely not pass the exam and he was too lazy to spend the registration fee or go through the trouble. He didn't even go to cram school in the next few months. I noticed that he became more relaxed since he started guarding bicycles."

He would listen to the radio in the bicycle shed, and even ask a neighbor to help him when he needed to go to the toilet. He was very dedicated! She never thought that her nephew, who used to be "unable to do anything and couldn't eat enough", could have this side of him.

Thinking of this, her favorability towards her son-in-law increased a few degrees. Thanks to his advice! If her brother had not taken over the business when he was young, someone would have given him some ideas that suited his taste, maybe it would not be like this today.

Lin Yan said: "He earns quite a lot just sitting and listening to the radio all day long under his own wall. I think he is quite satisfied."

Lin's mother smiled and said, "It's just a transition. After four years, his mother can retire early. It's better for her to go to work and have a company."

"I think my aunt may not even have to retire early. She can work for another five years without losing 20% of her pension."

Lin's mother shook her head. "In four years, Qiming will have a girlfriend. A regular worker and a bicycle clerk, the girl will definitely choose the regular worker."

Lin Yan disagreed, "I don't think there's anything wrong with setting up a stall."

"Although your Mingche once set up a big bowl tea stall, it was just a transition. Look at the educated youths who came back with you, they all tried their best to find formal jobs."

When Lin Yan gave birth, the group of educated youth would definitely come. She had given away a lot of gifts before, and reciprocity was the norm. Of course, the key point was that she and Fang Mingche were doing well in the capital. Not only did they both get into college, but their business was also thriving. Everyone was willing to associate with people who were doing well.

Finally, on the afternoon of the day after the college entrance examination, the telegram Fang Mingche had been waiting for finally arrived. On it was the serial number and quantity of the intangible cultural heritage products.

When Lingzi brought it in, Fang Mingche laughed, "He is really direct."

Lingzi also laughed, "Isn't this enough?"

She was naturally very happy. If the business in Tokyo and London went well, it would mean that the travel agency could make more money. Then the process of going to the United States might also be able to move forward faster.

Fang Mingche picked up the phone and called Wang Dexian, "The order from Japan has come in, a large one. Hurry up and get the formalities done. I'll ask Lingzi to come find you."

If all departments can give the green light and stamp the documents one by one, it should be completed quickly. Then the travel agency can officially export and earn foreign exchange.

Gao Xiang read the telegram and said, "He said the deposit has been remitted. I wonder how many days it will take to arrive? Lingzi, do you know?"

Nowadays, domestic remittance slips take a week to arrive, and I guess only Lingzi has received international remittances.

Lingzi said: "Let's estimate half a month."

Gao Xiang stood up and said, "I'll go get some money. I need to pay for all this first. But for the shipment, should we wait until the remittance slip arrives before shipping?"

This is a rough estimate, the total cost is probably 20,000 to 30,000. However, they have the Ministry of Culture to guarantee, so those products can definitely be sold with a deposit in order to earn foreign exchange abroad.

But if Wu Mingju deceived the goods first and then disappeared with the money, they would have to pay the balance of more than 20,000 yuan. In total, they would lose 50,000 yuan in this matter!
Fang Mingche said, "No, don't keep the guests waiting. Lao Wang asked the embassy staff to go and see Wu Mingju, and by the way, recommend our products to the locals."

The last time Wu Mingju went there he was working illegally, so he definitely didn't have any connections.

When the people at the embassy heard that it was a private enterprise from China that came to earn foreign exchange and was commissioned by the Wang family, they must have helped to promote it. Otherwise, how could they have such a large order in just ten days?

Since someone from the embassy had gone there, Wu Mingju should have known that if he fled with the money, the Wang family would be able to find him.

Gao Xiang also understood it immediately. He grinned and said, "Old Wang's value is still rising! Okay, I'll go get the money first."

Lingzi also said happily: "I will contact these manufacturers or individuals one by one."

Song Chi had helped to find these producers before. After buying products worth 10,000 yuan last time, everyone had established contact.

Lingzi was in charge of contacting and receiving the goods. She went back to organize the people in the office to pack the goods and asked Qin Tian to transport them to the dock in a pickup truck. Han Mei was responsible for following up the mailing.

Of course, the producers will definitely pack them carefully before sending them to the capital, but they will open and check each one. So, there is no time to waste, as it takes time to gather the items from all over the country to the capital.

Reiko went out and called every household. Everyone in the Japanese group was excited. What a good start!
Cui Yingqi smiled and said, "Good job, Old Wu!"

He and Wu Mingju have no conflict of interest. Wu Mingju can earn 1200 a month in Tokyo, and he can earn 300 a month in the capital. If we really talk about local purchasing power, he is stronger. And before Teacher Fang asked them, he said he wanted to stay in the capital. His family introduced him to a partner, and he is quite satisfied. They are ready to get married!
But now that Tokyo's business is good, he can also share some of the profits. Not as much as Old Wu, but still some.

After this, Fang Mingche will prepare to take Yanyan back to his hometown. The people below know how to buy and send things. He doesn't need to keep an eye on them. Besides, Gao Xiang still has summer vacation.

They also took a sleeper to the city and then back. Flying to the provincial capital is fast, but the asphalt road from the provincial capital to the town has not been built yet. It's a waste of time here.

After get off work in the afternoon, Lingzi brought back a sleeper ticket for the lower berth. They often helped tourists buy tickets to other places, and bought one for Fang Mingche.

Lin Yan was so excited when she saw Fang Mingche packing his luggage. She couldn't help but ask, "Do you want to return home so much?"

Fang Mingche said: "People have a complex about their hometown."

"Do you want to return home rich and powerful?"

Fang Mingche said, "Forget it. I'm going to give the money for investing in the rice mill to the Party Secretary when I go back this time."

The whole village raised 15,000 yuan, and the village land was used to build a factory and directly paid rent.

He planned to give 1,000 yuan, and Brother Mingfeng also planned to give 1,000 yuan. It's not that they couldn't give more, but every household in the village was chipping in, so the gap was not that big.

Township enterprises are originally collectively owned. This way they can get more support from the local government. If the two brothers divide the 15,000 yuan share with the village party committee, each party will pay 5,000 yuan, and the collective share will be low.

Moreover, since they all had ways to make money, they would not compete with the villagers for profits. If there was a shortfall in money, the branch secretary would come to them and they would fill the gap.

For people in my hometown, anyone who can come up with one thousand dollars at a time to invest in township enterprises must be a rich person.

Lin Yan was very happy to see a rice mill opened in the village. If they could work in the village, many people would definitely not think of going to BJ to become migrant workers.

When I come to BJ, I will definitely stay at either their house or Brother Mingfeng's house. Less trouble is worse than more!
Fang Mingche came over and hugged her from behind, "Wait until I come back, it should be fine."

In the past, people in the village would sleep together again after a full month, but doctors in the capital said it should be two months. This is better for the woman's health. So, he is still a married young man enjoying the treatment of an unmarried man.

Lin Yan said: "That depends on when you come back."

"I took the train back early on the 10th and arrived home in the evening of the 12th. It will take another three days for me to return. I won't be back until the th at the latest."

Lin Yan muttered, "You won't stay here for long after you come back, and you'll have to go to Tokyo again. My son will definitely not recognize you by then."

Even though she was not left alone to take care of the child, and Mingche also brought Yanyan with him, she still felt somewhat aggrieved because she had just given birth.

Fang Mingche said: "Then I won't go. I'll stay at home and take care of you."

Lin Yan rolled her eyes at him. She definitely had to visit Tokyo. She didn't want to go back to her hometown, but she could just send the money back. But seeing Ming Che's expression, he still wanted to go back during the summer vacation.

He could let her go back to the capital, so why would she stop him from going back to Sichuan? Besides, she actually didn't suffer any pain during the birth of the child.

Fang Mingche said, "I know you can't bear to leave me. I'll be back soon. Remember, you can't give the car keys to Lin Yi without a driver's license."

In fact, according to his heart, Lin Yi should not have any reason to borrow the car. A few days ago, he even put on the table the relevant clauses that if something happened and Lin Yi had no money, they, as the car owners, would be jointly liable.

Lin Yan said, "Why does he need the car so urgently? I won't lend it to him."
