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

Chapter 179: Growth and Development
During dinner, Fang Mingche took the two big fishes sent by his father-in-law and asked Boss Cui to process them. Father Lin also knew that there were many people eating at night, and now they had to sit at two large tables. So he asked his son to directly send the two largest ones over.

Lin Yi naturally went over and sat next to Han Mei.

Today happened to be the day when August's salary and bonus were paid. All the staff of the travel agency were very happy.

Although Fang Mingche told everyone not to show off outside, he couldn't help but feel happy. After all, this was the first time he got a bonus of tens or hundreds of dollars! Moreover, this was not just a one-time thing. As long as the overseas offices' handicraft business was good, this would last a long time!
This joy is really unbearable!
At this moment, they were in a private room, and besides their own people, there was only Lin Yi, a family member. So a few people couldn't help but talk about their joy. There was nothing they could do, people always had emotions.

Although no one mentioned the exact number, and they didn't really know each other unless they checked the accounts privately, Lin Yi could still guess how many months' salary they had taken. Han Mei didn't tell him anything, she couldn't help it. Besides, Han Mei wasn't considered a senior person here. Others got more than her!

Fang Mingche glanced at Lin Yi and saw that he seemed a little irritated. Didn't he plan to just keep the iron rice bowl? He was still not so calm. After all, his wife's income was several times his own, and he could still stay stable. He was a talent. Wasn't it because his wife was relying on his sister and brother-in-law's jobs?

Fang Mingche didn't say anything and just ate his meal. He also took care of Yanyan while she ate the fish, "Be careful, some of the bones are very small. Even if you peel off the big bones, there may still be small bones. Take a bite, don't eat it directly."

"Yeah." Yanyan was eating fish and took the time to respond.

According to the taboo list given by the teacher, fish is allowed, so Yanyan is very relaxed. As for other things, if she wants to eat them, she will just pick them up and eat at least a little!

She originally thought that if she broke her dietary restrictions, she would never be able to dance again. But as long as she could burn off the calories she ate, it would be fine. At most, she could just dance more or do some boxing. She thought she could do both.

After eating, the little girl went back home and got on the scale in the small room. This was bought when she was selling vegetables. The dance teacher asked them to weigh themselves from time to time and keep a record. They also had to know what the normal weight for this age group is.

Oh, and height, you should measure it regularly. My mother has a tape measure when she makes clothes, so she can measure it herself. Normal weight is linked to height.

"Dad, how much do I weigh?"

Fang Mingche casually told her the number, and then taught her how to recognize the scale. It was obvious that she would have to weigh herself frequently in the future, so it would be best if she could recognize the scale herself.

Yanyan got down from the scale and said, "Dad, go up and try it."

Fang Mingche stood up and watched her changing the weights, trying to recognize the scales, and she was busy having a lot of fun.

Seeing Yanyan was still doing the addition and couldn't tell the answer right away, he said, "Remember where it is. I'm going down."

When he went out, he saw Lin Yi and Han Mei pushing a bicycle each. Fang Mingche asked casually, "Lin Yi, did you borrow this bicycle from Wei You?"

Lin Yi nodded, "Yes, I was carrying the fish out when I saw him coming back from school."

He was not in high spirits when he spoke.

The couple rode home together. It was hard to say whether they could be harmonious after returning. Fang Mingche told Lin Yan who was holding Fang Chang, "Lin Yi seemed to be a little stimulated tonight."

Lin Yan thought for a moment and remembered that today was September 9. She had been taking care of the children at home every day and had lost track of time.

"The income gap between Han Mei and him is a bit big. And he is the only one with the lowest salary in the whole house, so he can't help but be stimulated."

Even a lazy person like Lin Yi, who could tell Yan Yan that he had become prettier just to please others and that it was not worth the effort, also had times when he couldn't hold back.

However, I saw him playing cards with his co-workers before, and he was like a fish in water in that environment where everyone was just idling around. The difference between the working environment in the state-owned factory and their travel agency was really huge!
As a young person, Lin Yan prefers the working atmosphere of a travel agency.

She said: "This requires internal reform. The countryside is already being reformed slowly. Will the factories be unable to escape this?"

Fang Mingche said: "Do you think that the big pot system can last under the current conditions? It is impossible to reform only the countryside and not the factories. But it is still early. In the countryside, only some bold places are trying out the household contract responsibility system."

There were still 15 months before the Central Government’s No. 1986 document was officially issued to fully promote the household contract responsibility system. After that, the rural reform was officially and fully launched. For factories, it took several years. The abolition of the succession system in was the first step!
Lin Yan asked, "So workers like Lin Yi who just get by are the targets of reform?"

"Most likely. But fortunately, he has learned to drive. I noticed that he is careful and cautious when driving. If he doesn't work out in the future, let him work as a driver for the travel agency."

Lin Yan frowned. "Just because of going abroad, he and Han Mei had quarreled twice before. I don't know how long the stimulation he suffered tonight will last?"

Maybe he would soon stop taking things seriously in the factory where everyone eats from the same pot and lives a lazy life. Then he would shrink into his comfort zone and stop moving around.

Forget it, I've said I don't care about my mother's family. Han Mei was so noisy, but Lin Yi was still the same. He also didn't listen to what her elder sister said. And Ming Che was right, at least he had a skill so he wouldn't starve to death.

In fact, Master He makes a living by playing online games. I heard that he earns 100 or 200 yuan a month. There are many people doing business in this area, but he is not shown.

However, if the factory really wants to reform, "will it change all the existing benefits?"

Even if parents retire, they won’t have a stable life.

Fang Mingche said: "I don't know. But the factory is under a heavy burden nowadays, and it is also a reason to bear these benefits. There will be more and more retired workers, and more and more people will need to be allocated houses and have their medical expenses reimbursed."

Their travel agency is definitely traveling light nowadays.

He knew that Lin Yan was worried about the retirement of her father-in-law and mother-in-law, but that was not the case. Before the mass layoffs of workers in 1998, the state introduced a social security system. They could transfer to social security to get pensions.

It is more difficult for my own parents, as pension insurance in rural areas is one step behind that in cities. And whether in cities or rural areas, if the elderly have a serious illness, reimbursement can only be based on a certain proportion, except for the last time.

Therefore, it is not an easy thing to take care of the elderly and the children. They also need to make more preparations.

Lin Yan put Fang Chang into the cradle and asked Yan Yan to push him gently and play with her brother.

As for the west room of the main house, a group of people were already watching the "News Broadcast" in it. To be honest, they didn't use this TV very often. Only Yanyan watched the children's program every day.

Fang Mingche just watched the news in the morning, afternoon and evening, and listened to it on his small radio if he had something to do. The TV programs at this moment didn't attract him much. China's first TV series "Eighteen Years in the Enemy Camp" was being filmed. It was still early for "Dream of Red Mansions" and "Journey to the West".

Japanese TV series were not translated and broadcast until 1981. However, this year, an American science fiction TV series "The Man from Atlantis" will be broadcast. Nowadays, the unique TV station still broadcasts those old movies.

It is no wonder that a good movie with a ticket price of only one or two cents can earn hundreds of millions at the box office.

As for Lin Yan, she was with her young son and didn't watch TV much. She had to take care of Fang Chang and didn't have time to watch. Even if she had time occasionally, she would watch it today and then stop watching it tomorrow. It was better not to watch it.

The couple talked about the Individual Income Tax Law, and Lin Yan said, "The tax rates for wages, dividends, and business income are different. It's not that simple."

Fang Mingche was indeed too lazy to break it down. "Let Gao Xiang and the other two professionals take care of it. He's done the calculations, and you can just compare them to see if they're correct."

Lin Yan smiled and said, "According to this calculation, a monthly income of 800 is considered high-income, and over 12000 is considered the highest income level."

This can indeed give their family a standard, which is more detailed than the simple "ten thousand yuan household". Moreover, their family monthly income exceeds 24000. This can't help but give people a sense of accomplishment!
Moreover, with such a monthly income, even if the reforms in the future really make it impossible for her parents to support themselves in old age, she can still afford it. She also has two children and can give them the best education conditions. This is great!

Fang Mingche said: "Most of our dividends cannot be obtained."

Lin Yan said: "What if Qi Shun pays taxes according to the regulations? Self-employed individuals will definitely need to register and issue business licenses soon. What if Qi Shun registers and pays taxes according to the requirements in the future?"

If we don’t allow the majority of self-employed individuals to register, who will we collect taxes from? I guess there aren’t many people who can earn a fixed salary of 800 yuan a month. The salary plus benefits and allowances of the old man in the Wang family are not even that much.

However, although self-employed people make so much money, many people still look down on them. It is really hard to understand!
Maybe it’s because it’s not been long since the last decade, and the crime of speculation still exists. Many people may think that it’s hard to predict when the wind will change again.

But they can register and obtain business licenses and pay taxes, which means that the status of individual business owners has been legalized.

Fang Mingche said: "Then we can only use commercial means to deal with him. When the time comes, we will bring Zhu Dahai and Hu Yong together and inject capital into them. Let them grow bigger and squeeze out Qi Shun's market share."

He was now wealthy enough and was too lazy to deal with Qi Shun himself. If he had the time, he might as well expand the travel agency and make more money.

But it is absolutely not okay to not take revenge! Only by striking the first blow can we prevent a hundred blows. Sometimes, the principles of conduct and behavior of individuals and countries are the same.

The five guys in the compound next door should both respect and fear him now, which is just right for him. Then we can set up a joint stock company. Well, it is better to call it a collectively owned enterprise, which is more in line with the characteristics of the times.

His investment will definitely make this collective enterprise fully funded. It can expand its scale and reduce costs through standardized operations. It will definitely make more money. They will get more dividends if they participate in direct operations. As long as they can make more money than now, they will definitely agree.

Lin Yan thought about it and said, "This is fine!"

Not only can he vent his anger at being cheated by Qi Shun, but he can also continue to make money from the vegetable business with Zhu Dahai and Hu Yong. Now that the big bowl tea stall business is back, after deducting the cost and Mingcheng's salary, the net profit is 500 to 600 yuan a month. It would be even better if he could continue to make money from the vegetable business!
Han Ping and Fang Mingcheng also received their first salary today. In August, they only received 24 yuan for their internship. But Fang Mingche provided them with food and accommodation. They only paid for breakfast, which they bought directly in the kitchen of the small courtyard.

All in all, they could earn 20 yuan a month, which was a very high income for farmers.

Not to mention, they will all be regular employees in September and get 10% of their salary. Fang Mingcheng will be running the tea stall and will get a % commission after he is regularized. Han Ping will also get a commission when he is a driver in a travel agency and leads a tour group. The two of them may get close to or even more than yuan by then.

Fang Mingche guessed that they would want to send the money home after getting it, so he went over and knocked on the door of the west room before going to bed.

The people who had just finished watching the TV show had just left with their stools. These two were probably still watching the Evening News and were not in a hurry to go to bed. As for the west room, as long as they didn't dislike it or were not afraid of it, they could continue to live there. It was usually empty anyway. This way, they could save five dollars in rent every month.

Moreover, the entire small courtyard is theirs now, and they won't feel as cramped as when Qiu Yin and his daughter were squeezed in the small room in the east wing.

Han Ping came to open the door, "Mingche, what's the matter?"

"Are you two going to prepare to send money back home?" Fang Mingche walked into the room and asked directly.

Fang Mingcheng came over and said, "Yes. We plan to send 15 yuan each."

"So what are you going to tell your family?"

Han Ping and Fang Mingcheng looked at each other and said, "Just tell the truth. You told us before that the probation period is 24 yuan a month. After the probation period is passed, it will be 36 yuan."

This basic salary is not that high. Fang Mingche was a teacher in the village school, and his salary after six years of service was about this amount. So when he reported it back, people in his hometown didn't react much. At most, they would say that it provided food and accommodation, which was equivalent to a net gain of this much.

However, they are educated and can speak Mandarin, so they won't be seen as vagrants on the street. And they have learned to drive a tractor. These two conditions are enough to make many people back off.

Fang Mingche nodded, "I'll send 15 yuan this month, what about next month?"

"The original plan was 25." But now there is a very generous commission, so I may send a little more.

Fang Mingche said, "Then send it as you originally planned. If you have more to send, return it in one lump sum during the Chinese New Year, and don't tell anyone. You can see that I can't accommodate too many people here. If you really want to, just like you, you can learn how to operate a tractor. Otherwise, if you don't have any special skills and come to the capital to find me, I won't be able to accommodate you."

If someone really learned how to drive a tractor, he would definitely accept it. Firstly, it was a good attitude, and secondly, it proved that he had a talent for learning to drive.

Fang Mingche would definitely welcome his brothers and classmates who are ambitious. But if they knew that starting from the second month, the bonus would be higher than the salary, then anyone would come. There are even people who are about the same age but older than him, who have no skills at all and just want to get a salary. Working in the capital is much easier than working in the fields.

Nowadays, travel agencies are not without connections. For example, the two in front of us are only junior high school students. Their education is not enough! Well, rural veterans may only be junior high school students. But they are all retired car soldiers and have a skill.

There is also Xiao Xie, who only studied in elementary school for four years. Han Mei is a high school student, so they can't be counted as the people with connections. However, these people with connections all performed well.

But if a group of people come from my hometown, yes, a group, it shouldn't be just one or two. That's because the forest is big and there are all kinds of birds.

Fang Mingche said, "And when those people come, they will definitely ask me to provide accommodation for them. You are also aware of the situation of the room you live in. If a group of people come later, I won't be able to accommodate them."

Since they are all surnamed Fang, they would think that he should take care of them. Moreover, Xie Ting and the two black people in front of her could still pretend not to know. But if a group of people surnamed Fang came, it would be impossible for them to pretend.

But people in his hometown would not think so much. They heard that the salary and bonus were high, so they might just come here. Once they come, they will stay at his house and naturally think that he has the obligation to settle them.

The travel agency and the scrap yard can't arrange jobs for so many people, and they also think you have an obligation to find other jobs for them. If you find a bad one, they won't be happy. If they can't find a suitable job for a while, then they can stay at your house.

Han Ping and Fang Mingcheng looked at each other and they also thought that this was the right development. Although the harvest in the countryside was good now, it was still not comparable to their income in the city. When they talked about it privately, they also felt that they had done the right thing by going to learn how to drive a tractor, and then taking the initiative to find Fang Mingche and follow him to the capital.

Fang Mingche said, "Now that we have just implemented the household contract responsibility system, we also need young people to work hard at home and farm. I heard that the rice mill in the village was recruiting workers, and everyone rushed in. They all want to be workers, not farmers. How can there be so many positions?"

The secretary of the branch called him. After all, he is also one of the shareholders. He said that even if there is a good harvest, many people still don't want to farm because they think farming is too hard. But the scale of the rice mill is currently so small!
On the contrary, the families who contracted the fish ponds in the village borrowed fishery books from the reading room every day. The fish they raised were alive and kicking in the fish ponds every day. The sales were pretty good!

He also talked about his student Xu Sheng, who returned from the capital and drove a tractor to the countryside to collect vegetables, eggs, chickens, ducks and fish. It seemed that he was preparing to set up a vegetable stall.

Oh, not only that, he also has a lot of goods imported from the black market, and when they are all put on display, it’s like a grocery store + vegetable stall.

The party secretary was worried, why couldn't the villagers think of more solutions on their own?
Fang Mingche saw people carrying loads without any back pain and said to the Party Secretary, "So, the masses need guidance."

But next month Han Ping and Fang Mingcheng's income might exceed 100 yuan, so he couldn't stay calm! He came quickly and told them not to send too much money home.

Han Ping and Fang Mingcheng nodded. "Okay, we'll listen to you. From now on, we'll send a maximum of 25 yuan back home, and we'll talk about the extra money during the Chinese New Year."

Fang Mingche said, "Sending 25 back home a month is enough. Rural areas don't have much to spend, and it's enough for your wife, children, and parents. As for the rest, I advise you to save it and buy a house in Beijing."

"How can we afford a house?" the two men blurted out.

"I didn't ask you to buy a house in Tuanjiehu Community. It costs more than 8,000 yuan there, and you really can't afford it. But the courtyard houses in this city are sold for more than 1,000 yuan each, so why can't you save up money to buy one? Besides, your salary and commission will definitely increase with the travel agency in the future. If it doesn't work, you can borrow money from me to buy one first." The two looked at each other. They planned to send money back home to build a red brick house. Nowadays, it only costs 500 to 600 yuan to build a three-room main house with a back house and a wing on each side in the village. With their income after becoming regular employees, half a year would be enough.

But if you can buy a house in the capital and bring your children to study like Fang Mingche and Fang Mingfeng, that would be great. Look at Yanyan and Tongtong, they are different from other girls of the same age in the village.

The high tuition fee of 200 yuan a year is not beyond their reach based on their monthly income. If they can buy two houses that cost more than 1,000 yuan each, they can bring their wives and children here. As for the house in the countryside, they can continue to live there. Or they can buy a house in the capital first and then build a new house in their hometown.

The two people felt their hearts burn with excitement after hearing what Fang Mingche said. "Okay, I'll do as you say."

That's right. If you send too much money back, wouldn't that be showing off your wealth? Fang Mingche doesn't dare to show off his wealth too much. Although he donated 1,000 yuan this year and invested another 1,000 yuan, he also told people that he still had 2,000 yuan in debt.

This debt is real, and everyone in the compound knows about it. At the end of September, I have to pay another thousand to Grandpa Gu. Moreover, Mr. Cui, the restaurant owner, also lent 5,000 to the travel agency. By the way, I heard that he also used his car as collateral to borrow 30,000 from the bank.

Fang Mingcheng said, "Mingche, don't worry, I understand. When someone in my hometown asks about it, I will tell them all about the debts you owe."

Fang Mingche nodded, "Okay, that's it. You guys go to bed early!"

It's better to use a heavy hammer to make a drum sound! There are so many laborers in my hometown, so I'd better solve it in the village first. For the time being, he can only bring out the people he likes step by step. He doesn't want to be the so-called leader or the sucker!

The 23rd of this month is the Mid-Autumn Festival. The travel agency is doing well now, so Fang Mingche asked Lingzi to go to the mooncake factory to order mooncakes for each person. In addition to sending them to everyone in Beijing, they will also send them to Tokyo and London. Being a stranger in a foreign land, you miss your family all the more during festivals.

Although it is a makeshift team, it must gradually move towards the path of a regular army.

Lingzi still picked a more high-end mooncake with egg yolk. On the afternoon of the 23rd, Fang Mingche personally distributed the mooncakes to everyone in the small courtyard. One for each person!
Liu Qingfeng and Geng Shan also had some, and they had passed a few more to Geng Chen and the others this morning. Even the cooking sister and the night watcher Uncle Xia each had one. As for the scavengers who ate with them, each of them also had one to receive.

Everyone was very happy, "Thank you Teacher Fang!"

After sending them all, Fang Mingche picked up two more and put them in the basket, then handed them to Yanyan, "Send them to your sister Qin Hua's family and say they are gifts from Uncle Wang. I wish them all a happy Mid-Autumn Festival!"

"Oh, okay." Yanyan picked up the small basket and walked towards the slum where the Qin family lived.

Han Mei also received two copies, the other one was for her father-in-law and mother-in-law to celebrate the holidays.

As for tonight, Fang Mingfeng and his family of three were brought here to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival together. Since Han Ping and Fang Mingcheng were still here, Lin Yan did not go back to her parents' home.

When it was time to enjoy the moon in the evening, my cousin's wife took a mooncake and split it, and gave the other half to Brother Mingfeng.

Then he casually said, "Ayan, I took Tongtong to the cinema to watch a movie a few days ago. I saw Wu Zhiqing seemed to have quarreled with her husband. She was carrying her things back to her parents' home with red eyes. They also told her not to come back after she left."

The cinema building was nearby. She was late and took a short walk, so she ran into him.

The cinema where Wu Dan worked was state-owned and very large. My cousin's wife thought the screen there was more comfortable to watch, and she was willing to go there even if she had to take a bus.

Lin Yan said: "I haven't heard of this."

My cousin's wife said, "Wu Zhiqing is such a person that if she's doing well, she'd definitely want everyone to know. If she's not doing well, she'll first hide it from you, the educated youths who are with her. I thought of this, too, and quickly took Tongtong to hide in the alley so she wouldn't see us. I don't know what caused such a big fuss!"

Wu Dan had been in the village for so many years, and the villagers knew her quite well. The three brothers of the Fang family and Han Ping nodded.

Lin Yan thought for a moment, "When Changchang turned 100 days old, Wu Dan came to drink the 100-day wine. Mingche told them not to just send money back. I heard that Ma Xiaodan is having a hard time in the countryside. Could it be because of this incident?"

Fang Mingfeng looked over and said, "A few days ago, the New Marriage Law was issued, which clearly proposed the implementation of family planning. Wu Zhiqing had a wife named Ma Xiaodan before, and I heard that the current husband has a son and a daughter. Their family can't get a birth permit. I'm afraid they want to bring Ma Xiaodan back."

Even if Lao Zhou agreed, Wu Dan couldn't have another child. And after hearing what Fang Mingche said, she would definitely want to bring her only child to her side.

As for whether Ma Xiaodan would have a Beijing hukou after coming here, that was not a consideration for the time being. Otherwise, she would work and earn a salary to support her step-son or step-daughter, or Ma Baoguo's youngest son!
The Zhou family wanted Wu Dan to work as a laborer and provide her own meals. They would definitely not easily agree to her bringing her daughter to the capital.

Fang Mingche raised his eyebrows, "If Lao Zhou can't deprive Wu Dan of his job, then Wu Dan will most likely succeed."

Wu Dan is not a housewife, she works to earn a salary. However, she got this regular office job only after marrying Lao Zhou. Before that, she was just a temporary worker selling movie tickets.

For this reason, the Zhou family felt that it was her right to spend the extra salary she earned on the Zhou family.

Lin Yan said: "If I were her, I would just get a divorce and go back to work as a temporary worker. Otherwise, the extra money I earn wouldn't be spent on my own flesh and blood." You must be crazy to raise other people's children. What's the point?

My cousin's wife nodded and said, "It's time to be tough."

Fang Mingche nodded and said, "Otherwise, the younger step-son and step-daughter are already in junior high school, and they can't support the family."

Just from the few words I heard at the previous gathering of educated youth, I could tell that those two and their father were not easy people.

Lin Yan thought for a moment and said, "With Wu Dan's personality, she won't just sit there and wait for death. If Lao Zhou threatens her with that official job, she will definitely go to the Women's Federation to make a decision for her. Besides, the job is given by the government, not a private thing. Wu Dan is making a fuss, Lao Zhou will definitely not dare to deprive her of it at will. He is a small leader, so he should cherish his feathers!"

Because he values this leadership position, he will definitely not have more children. He has no shortage of children!
My cousin's wife was obviously very interested in how things were going. She pushed Brother Mingfeng and said, "Aren't you going to call your parents to say hello? Why don't you call them now?"

Tonight is the Mid-Autumn Festival, but Second Uncle will not close the video hall. Business is best during festivals. So, Second Aunt and Minghui will definitely go to the county town to celebrate the festival with him tonight.

If I call now and get to the guard room of the cultural center, my second uncle will be able to answer the call.

As they slept together in the same bed, Mingfeng naturally knew that his wife wanted him to find out if the villagers knew about this matter. He also felt that Wu Zhiqing would not focus on just one thing given her personality. Moreover, if she wanted to bring Ma Xiaodan to the capital, she would definitely need Ma Baoguo's consent.

However, the obstacle now is the ten yuan she sends back every month. Without her daughter, there will be no child support. Ten yuan a month is not a small amount in the countryside. Ma Baoguo and his wife may not be willing to let go. When they have a baby, they will need money.

"Okay, I'll go ask."

Fang Mingche had already called back in the afternoon and asked his father to pick him up at the town post office at the agreed time.

Last time, he asked the village secretary who called him, asking him when the village would install a telephone. The secretary said that he would consider it after the rice mill made money and expanded in scale. Nowadays, more and more people in the village are working outside, so it would be okay to install a telephone for public use.

After a while, Fang Mingfeng came back from Lingzi's house after making a phone call. Everyone in the room looked at him, even Yanyan and Tongtong.

Yanyan didn't remember Ma Xiaodan very well before, but she heard from her parents that she and Ma Xiaodan used to get along well. Fang Tong and Ma Xiaodan were also companions in the aunt's banquet. Just now, the adults were saying that family planning was a good thing for Ma Xiaodan. They didn't quite understand, but they knew it was a good thing.

Fang Mingfeng said, "Wu Dan has written a letter to Ma Baoguo, saying that now that family planning is being implemented, she cannot have any more children. She wants to bring Ma Xiaodan to the capital. Ma Baoguo ignored the first letter, so she wrote a second one. She said that if Ma Baoguo doesn't agree, she will not send child support in the future. She also wrote a letter to the branch secretary, saying that she heard that her daughter was not doing well and wanted to take back the custody. Please help her! If there is any need for her in the village in the future, she will do her best to do it."

Fang Mingche said: "Then she's pretty good. She didn't sell me out."

The timing was right, just when the "New Marriage Law" was issued. In order to avoid quarreling with Ma Baoguo and bring her daughter home as soon as possible, Wu Dan did not mention his bad words to her daughter. Moreover, in the eyes of rural people, what's wrong with doing more work without being beaten or scolded? Even Fang Fang said that Ma Baoguo and his wife did not deliberately abuse her.

However, since Fang Mingche had said so, he was not afraid that Ma Baoguo would blame him for being too talkative. Love your own children, and other people's children as well! Ma Xiaodan always called him "Uncle Fang", and his words were quite sweet.

Fang Mingcheng said: "Wu Zhiqing is not the type to sacrifice or take risks for his daughter, but he is definitely concerned about his only child."

Before leaving, the cousin's wife said to Lin Yan: "If there is any further news, I will tell you later."

"Ok."

Fang Mingfeng and Fang Mingche looked at each other and shook their heads helplessly. Women just take these things very seriously.

The most important thing at the end of September is to buy a car. If you buy a car, you need a driver. Gao Xiang went with Xiao Hu and Xiao Gang. Xiao Gang also passed the driver's license recently. Nowadays, only a few people in the travel agency can't drive, anyway, all the expenses are covered.

Xiao Gang made the same choice as Wei You before, studying and reviewing on his own while working. The proportion of English scores will rise from 30% this year to 50% next year. He also plans to practice hard for a year to significantly improve his English scores. It is not as easy to make great progress in other subjects as it is in English. The key is that other students do not have such unique conditions for learning English as he does.

Of course, Fang Mingche also arranged for him to go so that he could play a supervisory role. One hundred and five thousand, a huge sum of money!

Although I know that Gao Xiang would not abandon his mother, wife, and college student status and run away with the money, I still need to have the necessary supervision.

Before leaving, he had talked everything out with Xiao Gang.

Xiao Gang nodded to show that he understood, "Brother-in-law, don't worry."

When Gao Xiang came over, Lin Yan took out the passbook and gave it to Gao Xiang.

Lin Yan must have kept the banknotes. She felt heartbroken when she thought about the amount she had accumulated with great difficulty. Suddenly, a large sum of money would be lost in the account.

This is the money I saved for half a year after I bought a car in April!
In the three months of July, August and September, the business of selling handicrafts increased, and the profit reached about 25,000 yuan. About 1,000 yuan was handed over to the Ministry of Culture every month, and 1,500 yuan was used to give bonuses to people who made contributions. There was only 60,000 to 70,000 yuan left.

In the first three months, I only had 15,000 yuan per month, but it was enough to stay in the account. So after taking out 150,000 yuan this time, I only had a few thousand yuan left to look after (there was still a few thousand yuan left in April).

After Gao Xiang took the passbook away, Fang Mingche looked at Lin Yan's expression as if she had been cut open and said with a smile: "Don't worry, the numbers on it will increase."

This obsessive-compulsive disorder is getting more and more serious.

Lin Yan said, "This is spending too fast! I have to spend another 5,000 yuan to install the phone during the National Day holiday."

"From now on, you can go to Lao Zhou's house to call the office without running back and forth."

Lin Yan muttered, "I won't dare to go far in the future. If a customer calls Lao Zhou, I can answer the call at home."

In future promotional brochures, the Zhou family's phone number will no longer be printed on them, but former customers may still call the old number.

"Well, thank you for your help."

Lin Yan said: "Compared to others, I am much better."

She only takes care of the children. However, after the National Day, she will take time to read books. Otherwise, she will worry about not being able to keep up with the progress in the next semester. By the time school starts, Changchang will be nine months old.

After three commercial vehicles of the same model were driven back, they drove directly to the Overseas Chinese Apartment.

The two cars that were rented before were returned to the Investment Promotion Office one month in advance. Wang Dexian's leader said that the rent for this month would be returned to them, but Fang Mingche confiscated it. There were still things that needed help before and after.

Apart from other things, these three new cars still need to be registered. The business license obtained from the Ministry of Culture is indeed a license to set up a stall. Even if it is just for transporting goods, there is no need to buy so many cars. It is unreasonable. Nowadays, gasoline is still a scarce resource, and it is not allowed to buy a car unless it is necessary.

Of the three people who interviewed in Tokyo before, one returned in September. He has been following Cui Yingqi for more than half a month, and this time he will be the tour guide on his own.

The other two were not as outgoing as the returning Ma Nanshan. Their own wishes were not very strong. Fang Mingche's preference after the interview was also Ma Nanshan.

After he came back, Fang Mingche promised him that if he could do the job well, he would be promoted to deputy team leader on New Year's Day. After all, this was a job that required no training and he could start working right away.

On the day the car came back, Fang Mingche and Lin Yan brought their children, and Wang Dexian brought Yang Mei to the parking lot of the Overseas Chinese Apartment to pick up the car. Only one person was left in the office upstairs to answer the phone, and everyone else came down.

These four commercial vehicles are the travel agency's biggest assets! Oh, no, the first one is currently mortgaged to the bank and cannot be considered an asset. But the three vehicles are definitely there.

Wang Dexian said cheerfully, "We opened at the end of November last year, and it has been exactly eleven months now."

The average net profit per month is 10,000!
Fang Mingche touched his chin. Two of the cars here belonged to him.

"Old Wang, how is the inquiry into the Siheyuan going?"

Now he can directly get two cars to mortgage, and then lend himself to buy a large courtyard house. This is almost enough to build a courtyard with two or three entrances!

Wang Dexian said: "It needs to have clear property rights, be well preserved, and be sold by the owner. These are not easy to find! Moreover, the price of Siheyuan is rising, and the increase is not small. Many returned overseas Chinese want to buy it, but they have to be accepted first. In the past, many Siheyuans were basically occupied by old comrades. They like courtyards with roofs and land, and don't like living in buildings. This kind of house cannot be vacated."

Fang Mingche said, "As long as the ownership is clear and they are willing to sell it to me, it's fine. Try to make it as close to Tiananmen Square as possible."

Wang Dexian nodded, "Okay, I'll ask some more people to help you find out. How many people are there in your family? Isn't a small yard enough for them to live in?"

"I want to bring my parents and three nephews and nieces over. And didn't you say that the value of Siheyuan is expected to rise? Even if there are new houses built in the future, can they compare with the old houses? The key is that near Tiananmen Square, where is there any open space for people to build?"

Wang Dexian thought about it and it made sense. The price of Siheyuan has increased dramatically in the past year. It would be a good deal if he bought it. No wonder Xiaofang was so interested.

Alas, he has two commercial vehicles, and he can get a loan of 60,000 yuan by mortgaging them. I don't have that much money!
Fang Mingche said, "Why didn't you mention that you were promoted to deputy section chief within a year? Compared to a career in politics, money is nothing. Besides, you have the best of both worlds."

Wang Dexian smiled and said, "That's true."

Fang Mingche was also happy when he saw the three new cars. "Let's go, let Lao Cui prepare some snacks tonight and we can have a good drink."

"it is good!"
