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

Chapter 28 Finding a House

Chapter 28 Finding a House
Aunt Liang is not a professional hairdresser, but she has good skills and is warm-hearted, so neighbors like to ask her for help.

Yanyan, she is indeed quite pleasing to the elderly.

At first, Lin's mother had never met her and had no feelings for her.

But after a few days together, she kept hanging around. (The parents didn't take her out to look for a house in the following days, after all, it was cold outside)
After all, she is my granddaughter and my only grandchild at present, so I softened my attitude towards her.

Anyway, it was impossible for her to marry her daughter off to a wealthy family.

When the cadre from the state-owned factory learned that Ayan's ex-husband had come with the child, he turned around and looked for someone else.

She was severely scolded by her own sister.

I guess I won’t be able to move around for a long time.

Alas, they are all debt collectors!

The daughter is a debt collector, and the son is also a debt collector.

The family of her son's girlfriend requires him to have a formal job, and now they urge her to retire early every day.

She said she had promised before.

She turned 45 at the end of last year, which is just the right age to retire and receive a pension.

Well, she will retire early at the end of this month to free up her job for her son.

From now on, I will buy groceries, cook and take care of my granddaughter at home.

Anyway, the old man makes all the decisions at home. He has already given the order to keep his granddaughter, so can he still kick her out?
As for my daughter, at the age of 23, she should definitely go to work and earn a salary.

As the father and daughter were talking, they saw Yanyan following her grandmother in. Her bangs had already been cut.

As soon as Lin's mother came in, she asked her daughter anxiously, "Yanyan said you were smiling happily this afternoon. What's going on? Did the street office assign you some work?"

If that's true, that would be great!

There is nothing that cannot be caused by illness, and there is nothing that cannot be caused by not having a job!

Oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, firewood and rice, which one doesn’t cost money?
Lin Yan shook her head, "No, she still encouraged us to find a solution ourselves first."

Mother Lin's face fell, "Find a solution yourself. Why bother looking for them if you can think of a solution yourself? Where's your brother?"

"He went to his girlfriend's house again to earn some recognition."

A bicycle bell rang, and Fang Mingche appeared at the gate of the compound on his bicycle.

He parked the car at the door and locked it.

Then he strode into the Lin family's house and said, "Grandma and grandpa are off work. Ah Yan, give me some money. I found a house."

As he expected, an old man helped him find a room two kilometers away from the square.

Two rooms, 20 yuan a month.

Thinking that he would come again if needed.

If he doesn't need to make phone calls anymore, where can he find someone to reimburse the phone bills with his old arms and legs?
Fang Mingche has already gone to see the house.

The light is not good and it is a little expensive. But now is not the time for him to complain about the price.
So he paid the deposit quickly and also paid the old man one dollar as a reward for his hard work.

He said he would rent the house for half a year first, and the landlord asked him to pay it off in one lump sum, and he also had to leave 30 yuan as a deposit.

A total of 150 is required.

Mother Lin immediately asked, "You rent a house and let us, A-Yan, pay for it?"

Lin Yan quickly said, "Mom, it's Mingche's money. He deposited all the money in my banknote."

Lin's mother asked, "Is it true or false?"

"Of course it's real. There's 500. How could it be my money?"

Lin's mother also knew that her daughter only brought back a little over 100 yuan. She had questioned her about it at the beginning.

It was good enough for the educated youth to bring money home.

Therefore, it is impossible for Ayan to have 500 yuan.

But, "Where did you get so much money? Did you keep the money you earned from selling your work for yourself?"

Lin's mother was very tolerant towards her son, but she was quite strict towards her son-in-law.

Fang Mingche had no choice but to tell the truth, "I covered for my cousin's brother-in-law and drove to Guangzhou twice. The boss paid me 96 yuan. I also brought some goods and made more than yuan. If I want to come to BJ, I must prepare some money."

"This is quite profitable, why don't you do it?"

"He's a substitute. He's back after recovering from his injury." Father Lin knew a little about the risks of traveling long distances, and he said he was back after recovering from his injury.

"It's better to earn less of this kind of quick money. Since you are ready, just focus on preparing for the exam. I have already told Yan that I will agree to your remarriage once you are admitted to university."

As for if he failed the exam or something happened along the way, he would still not recognize him as his son-in-law.

Fang Mingche nodded, "Thank you, uncle."

Having the permission from my father-in-law is naturally the icing on the cake.

I just don’t know if he will still have the same attitude when he finds out that I’m going to take his daughter to set up a stall.

Mother Lin looked at her ex-son-in-law. He was handsome and sincere to Yan.

It would be great if you could get into university, as you would be assigned cadre status after graduation.

It is true that it is best for a couple to stay together as they are originally together, as there will be fewer conflicts.

What's more, they already have a daughter.

Besides, the neighbors and relatives all knew that he was coming. Ah Yan was determined to follow him.

No one will introduce her to anyone else.

Forget it, forget it, a harmonious family is the key to success. I will retire early and help my children.

Mother Lin asked, "Is there furniture in that house?"

Fang Mingche spread his hands, "We don't have anything, we have to buy everything now."

Mother Lin frowned. "You must have acted very anxious to rent a house, so they raised your price. Ah Yan, take him to buy old furniture tomorrow. The more you can save, the better. You really need to be frugal with your money."

500 yuan, and the rent was reduced to 150 yuan in an instant.

The remaining 350 has to be spent frugally so that I can get through the next six months.

Father Lin said, "Since you've already paid the deposit for the house, don't worry. You won't be able to move in tonight anyway. Just stay here for dinner."

From now on, just treat him as your daughter’s partner.

In the evening, Lin Yi was very happy to learn that they had found a house. My sister said that they would remarry and move out once they found a house.

Then you have your own wedding room.

My mother also said that she would apply for early retirement at the end of this month so that I could take over.

OK, double happiness at once.

Fang Mingche just came back from riding his bike to buy half a roast duck.

When it was served, Lin Yi reached out his chopsticks to pick up the only duck leg. At home, the good ones were usually given to him.

Unexpectedly, his father intercepted his chopsticks halfway through. "This is for Yanyan. Ah Yan, tear it for her. Wrap some more cucumber shreds and feed her with the sauce."

Mother Lin also said: "This was bought by Xiao Fang."

"Oh." Lin Yi responded and brought over another piece of live meat.

He looked at Yanyan.

Ever since the little girl moved in, he had enjoyed delicious meals every day. Today, he even had roast duck.

Well, the little girl looks a lot like me. Be nice to her, since we're moving out soon anyway.

Yanyan made a face at him.

Lin Yan first packed one for Yanyan and asked her to eat it, and then prepared to pack one for Fang Mingche.

Fang Mingche said: "I will, just take care of Yanyan and yourself."

His men quickly packed one for themselves.

Yanyan took it and ate it herself, and her face was covered with sauce.

Lin Yan wanted to wipe it for her, but Yan Yan dodged it, thinking that her mother was preventing her from eating meat.

Fang Mingche smiled and said, "Forget it, I wiped it off and it got on again. I'll wipe it off together after we finish eating."
