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

Chapter 27 Father-in-law's Plan
Lin Yan secretly thought that such people were able to put aside their pride. Besides, they made money through hard work.

This is much better than her brother who eats and spends the family's money and is unwilling to do anything for the family.

However, she certainly wouldn't want Mingche to do such physical work.

His idea of selling big bowls of tea is a good one.

The two of them walked all the way with their daughter and went to the post office to withdraw the remittance of 1900.

When going to deposit, Lin Yan asked Fang Mingche, "Do you have 50?"

Fang Mingche nodded while holding his daughter, feeling a little amused.

I almost forgot that A-Yan has obsessive-compulsive disorder.

She just wanted to increase the initial deposit amount to 2000.

He had more than 110 yuan in his pocket when he boarded the train. He spent a few yuan on the train, and then spent or yuan on food and accommodation for the eight days.

He is still in his early eighties.

He held his daughter in one hand and reached into the inner pocket of his military coat with the other hand, took out five more Big Unity banknotes and handed them to her.

Lin Yan brought more than 130 when she returned to the city.

I paid a total of thirty yuan for food expenses in two months, and gave my parents ten yuan each during the Chinese New Year.

This week, I used my pocket money to buy delicious food from time to time and brought it home, spending another ten yuan.

Her father even said that she should just give Yanyan 10 yuan for food expenses next month. Otherwise, she would have to pay more!
She is only in her seventies.

Otherwise, if you want to collect 50, you don’t need to ask Fang Mingche for .

Putting all the money in now, the word '2000' suddenly made Lin Yan feel safe.

This one-year fixed deposit can earn you 80 yuan in interest.

Of course, if they want to do business, they definitely don’t have a fixed deposit.

Just because of the happy smile on her face as she held the passbook, Fang Mingche felt that the dangers and hardships of his previous two trips to Guangzhou were nothing.

However, Lin Yan closed the passbook and emphasized for the third time, "Don't do such dangerous things again."

It's good to have more money, but you can't take risks to earn it.

If she was there at the time, she would have stopped it.

I don't want to get rich quickly, I just want to live in peace and health.

Fang Mingche said, "There is also a box of review materials. I asked my cousin to send it together. It may arrive tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."

These were the college entrance examination review materials that Lin Yan prepared when she was in the countryside.

It would be a bit troublesome to bring it back, and Fang Mingche also said that he had to prepare for the college entrance examination.

Lin Yan left everything to him.

She also planned to buy double copies of the materials she found in BJ. If she couldn't buy them, she would copy one and send them back to Fang Mingche.

Now that he has arrived in BJ, he doesn't need to do that anymore.

However, thinking that his letter of introduction stated that he could stay for only four days, Lin Yan couldn't help but feel a little worried.

"I'll go back and talk to Dad privately. Just think of it as renting you a bed in the dining room. It won't be considered taking advantage if you pay for it."

In fact, how did Mingche take advantage of the Lin family at all?
The milk powder and malted milk he brought when he visited me were not cheap.

And these days, I use the receipts he gave me to order extra dishes at home.

If you really can't find a rental house, then just do this. You can't really sleep under a bridge or on the side of the street.

Fang Mingche said, "I'll look for it again. Don't rush to tell your dad. I'll go to the places we looked for before by bike in the evening. Although we left our phone numbers and promised to reimburse the phone bills, some old men and women might be worried that we no longer need the house. They didn't call because they were afraid that they would have to pay for the phone calls themselves."

This cannot but be considered a possibility.

He would try again on his bike, and if that didn't work, he would expand the range.

The farther away, the better. As long as I have a place to live and store my things, it's fine. "Okay."

Lin Yan brought her daughter back to the slum, and Fang Mingche borrowed her bicycle as usual to go out and look for an apartment.

When Mr. Lin came home from get off work, he saw that his daughter looked a little worried.

"Xiao Fang hasn't found a place to live yet?"

Lin Yan nodded, "Yes, there are too few people renting out their houses nowadays."

Father Lin said, "We only have you and your sister, so we are considered to have few children. Yet you live like this! Some families even build attics in their homes, or sleep on bunk beds."

Lin Yan added in her heart: Or maybe it could be like what she and her brother did back then, with a curtain in the middle and they living in one room.

"Dad, the contract expires in four days. If we really can't find a job by then, can we let Mingche come to our house and rent a bed? Then he can sleep in the restaurant with Lin Yi."

Father Lin flatly refused, "No. You two are divorced, so why is he living in our house?"

Lin Yan's face fell, "Once he finds a place to live, we will remarry."

Father Lin said, "Remarry, what can he use to remarry you? By then, he will be a migrant worker in Beijing. Would he dare to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau with you? Besides, if he goes to the Civil Affairs Bureau, the letter of introduction will have expired. What can he use to prove his identity?"

Lin Yan's face changed. Oops, she hadn't expected this.

Mingche was no longer a teacher, so he and Yanyan's household registration had to be transferred back to the countryside. They could only be transferred to his parents' household registration book.

The previous household registration book of their family of three was directly invalidated.

These days he used the letter of introduction as his ID in BJ. So he couldn't even get a new bank account at the bank, so he could only deposit the money in her bank account.

Staying in BJ, he really didn't have the ID to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to remarry.

If you go there, you will be discovered as a blind migrant and will be sent back to your hometown.

Father Lin said, "If he really can't find a house to rent, he can rent a bed at your uncle Wei's house. There's no girl in that family, so it's fine for him to live there."

Lao Wei has been friends with him for decades, so there shouldn't be any problem.

Besides, if you rent a bed, you have to pay the rent monthly.

Although he found it unbelievable that Xiao Fang had quit his formal job, he came to find his daughter after all.

This heart is sincere enough.

If he can really get into a university in BJ, whether it is an undergraduate or a junior college, I will agree to their remarriage.

These days, being able to get into university is like leaping over the dragon gate.

As a father, there is no way he would let his daughter live with an illegal immigrant who has no formal job.

If I get admitted to university, my household registration can be transferred from the rural area to the university in BJ. Then I can apply for a marriage certificate.

He told his daughter his thoughts, "If you two are as determined as a rock, just wait a few more months."

Lin Yan nodded, "Okay!"

If she fails the exam, she will go back to the countryside with Mingche and re-register for marriage.

They all set up stalls to sell big bowls of tea. As long as they can make money, the household registration is not a big obstacle.

There was no way she could marry anyone else.

Father Lin looked around and asked, "Where's Yanyan?"

The little granddaughter is cute and sweet. A few days ago, he came to greet her after get off work, calling her "Grandpa".

Why is there no one here today?

"Oh, mom took her out and asked Aunt Liang at the end of the alley to trim her hair in front. It's not too long, not easy to comb, and it's a bit in the eyes."

She always just pinned it on her daughter's head with a pin, and her mother said she was taking things too easy.

I was looking for a house this week and didn't have time to do it.
