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

Chapter 24 I Want to Set Up a Street Stall
Lin Yan shook her head, "No. Oh, you said to deposit the money into my account, right? Then go and get one tomorrow."

She thought it was the 300 yuan.

Fang Mingche nodded, "Do you have enough money on hand?"

"Didn't you secretly put ten more Great Unity notes into my wallet before you left? It's only been over a month, how could I possibly use them all up?"

400 yuan. If you can rent a house, then living here won’t cost much.

It is enough for their family of three to use until school starts.

Since she had already quit her job, she didn't ask any more questions. The most important thing was to be together as a family!

Fang Mingche lifted his daughter up, and the little girl closed her eyes.

Lin Yan asked: "Where did she get her clothes and boots?"

"Oh, it was worn by Mingfeng's cousin's daughter."

Lin Yan nodded, "Is that so? Are you on good terms with him now?"

Such good things will not be given to you by ordinary people.

Fang Mingche said, "I took over for his brother-in-law twice."

I'll have to explain it later when the money is transferred. I might as well tell you now.

Lin Yan reacted quickly. She also knew that Fang Mingfeng's brother-in-law was beaten and seriously injured on the road.

She didn't need to ask where the malted milk and milk powder came from. Fang Mingfeng must have helped her get them.

"So dangerous! Are you okay?"

Lin Yan said, "When we get to the guesthouse, take it off and show it to me."

Fang Mingche said, "My ancestor, if we take off our clothes in the room with the door closed, what if someone reports us for hooliganism?"

I definitely can't take it off. Although the wounds from the old man don't hurt anymore, they are still itchy.

That proves that the traces are definitely still there.

Lin Yan exhaled, "We are obviously a couple, but now it's like this!"

"Everything will be righted soon."

Lin Yan glared at him, "Don't do such dangerous things again in the future."

"understood."

He really didn't plan to drive long-distance trains again and bring goods along the way. The first pot of gold he earned was enough to bring to BJ.

After that, I started making money at BJ.

But let’s find a house first.

After everything was made clear, Fang Mingche carried his daughter back home.

"I was born and raised here. My daughter is already asleep. Hurry and take her back to the guesthouse to settle her down."

"It's okay, it's just a few steps. I carried you all the way to BJ for thousands of kilometers. I can't feel at ease until I see you get home."

"Ok."

Fang Mingche said, "We may get up a little later tomorrow morning. You don't have to worry about us for breakfast."

Lin Yan said, "I brought my dad's electric water bottle here to boil eggs for Yanyan. He bought it when he was on a business trip, and he doesn't use it normally."

Fang Mingche asked, "Have you paid for the food?"

If they didn't pay, they could just eat it at home. But I took it out and gave it to them.

My father-in-law will be fine, but my mother-in-law and brother-in-law will inevitably be sarcastic.

Judging from the brother-in-law's expression, he was quite dissatisfied with A-Yan's going home.

Lin Yan said: "I paid it. I'm working now, I definitely can't eat and drink for free."

That's it!

Fang Mingche sent Lin Yan back to the yard, and then carried his daughter back to the guesthouse.

I went into the house and helped her take off her outer clothes and pants.

Gang Ayan gave him a salt water bottle. He filled it with hot water, wrapped it in a pillowcase, and placed it at his daughter's feet.

Then I quickly washed up, took off my clothes and went to bed.

This sleep was much more comfortable than on the train.

The father and daughter slept until Lin Yan knocked on the door at nine o'clock.

Fang Mingche put on his military coat, opened the door, and then went straight to the end of the corridor to use the toilet.

Lin Yan came in with an electric water cup, a raw egg, and a small bag of milk powder.

Yanyan still stayed in bed and refused to get up. She felt so warm and comfortable in the quilt.

Lin Yan put her things down and came over to pat Yan Yan's little butt. "It's dawn, little pig, get up—"

"No—"

"Hurry up and get up. Dad and Mom are going out to look for a house soon." Yanyan's hair was frizzy from sleeping, she got out of bed and asked, "What about me?"

Lin Yan said: "You go together."

Both parents are at work, and only the unreliable Lin Yi is at home. Maybe his troublesome partner will come too.

We definitely can’t let Yanyan be taken care of by them.

"Okay!" Yanyan was very satisfied with the answer.

Lin Yan took the small clothes and put them on her one by one.

I looked carefully and found that the clothes were washed quite clean.

When Fang Mingche came back, he was praised.

Fang Mingche smiled as he put on his clothes: "My sister-in-law washed them all."

Lin Yan was a little bit unbelievable.

"I gave her an extra ten dollars. She's a person who will still work if she's paid."

After Yanyan had her meal of milk and boiled eggs, the family of three went downstairs.

Fang Mingche nodded when he saw the bicycle Lin Yan pushed out. This is good!

They both ate fried liver in a state-owned restaurant.

Lin Yan knew that with Fang Mingche's personality, he would definitely not be happy to go to the Lin family for breakfast.

So I didn’t mention it.

The extra money (3 yuan a day for the hotel) was spent, so the breakfast money was nothing. Although it still cost a few taels of national food coupons.

Then she pointed the way, and Fang Mingche drove the mother and daughter, who were wrapped up tightly, to Tiananmen Square.

Fang Mingche just said he wanted to go and have a look.

As he rode along, the old BJ from 1979 gradually became clearer in front of him.

Last night in Xingfuli, it didn’t feel like I was in the capital.

Seeing the square now feels so real!

Dashilan is gradually recovering its vitality, and there are even some people setting up stalls here and there.

There is no shortage of people who dare to try new things!
The square's traffic is not very good right now.

Well, to say it’s not that great now is only compared to the 20 tourists a day in later times.

It’s much more lively than other places.

Fang Mingche put one foot on the ground, "Ayan, do you want to come here and set up a stall?"

"Setting up a street stall?" Lin Yan had only seen this in books before.

Of course, at this moment, we also saw a few scattered stalls.

There are many unemployed young people in Beijing nowadays.

One by one, they returned from the places where they had been sent to work in the countryside, thinking that their suffering was over.

In the end, I still couldn't find a job.

Everyone is depressed.

But no one is willing to lower themselves to set up a street stall.

Could it be that, "Mingche, are you planning to set up a street stall?"

"Correct!"

Lin Yan looked at Fang Mingche with shock and heartache. In order to come to BJ, he lost his official job.

Now I can only be an illegal resident in BJ.

Fang Mingche said, "But our stall needs to downplay my presence, and everything depends on you. Is that okay, Ayan?"

Otherwise, once his business is good, someone will definitely report him as a migrant worker and ask the police to expel him.

Downplaying his existence can avoid this problem to the greatest extent.

But we cannot help but be on guard against some people who are just bad.

Lin Yan thought about it, then looked at the few people setting up stalls in the distance.

Today was only February 2th, and the weather was still freezing. They couldn't help but shiver in the cold wind.

We all need to live and eat!

She also knew Mingche's concerns. For the sake of family reunion, "I can do it."

"Okay, let's look for a rental house nearby."

Lin Yan asked: "What kind of stall are you setting up? Where are you going to get the goods?"
