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

Chapter 43 Another Plan
Lin Yan felt a little sick, but there was nothing she could do about it.

If they can come to this place, others can naturally come as well.

By the same token, the educated youth who returned to the city and the street office who lived nearby could not prevent those who lived farther away from here from coming.

Tiananmen Square is the Tiananmen Square of all Chinese people!

Seeing that she was still angry, Fang Mingche said, "You went to the street office to register as a self-employed person. What did the people in the street office say?"

"They support me and say I've set a good example. But they can't follow suit. It's not realistic for them to come from such a long way to set up a stall. It's not easy to rent a house."

Just refilling water is a big problem. And if you come from far away, the seats are already taken.

Therefore, it was quite rare for them to rent Uncle Gu's house! There was really no room for nitpicking.

Fang Mingche nodded, "That's good. I remember you said that you have a cousin who has worked in the supply and marketing cooperative for many years?"

Lin Yan nodded, "Yes."

"Let's go and reconnect later."

Then let’s talk about the next step.

As a supply and marketing cooperative, there will definitely be a certain amount of unsaleable products.

Since the subdistrict office explicitly supports individual behavior, he wants to pick out some sellable goods from the unsaleable goods and buy them wholesale.

At this time, you definitely don't need a receipt. The supply and marketing cooperatives also need to clear their inventory and free up the warehouse for other things.

Then we will set up a container at the big bowl tea stall to sell it. There is a large flow of customers, and we will see how the sales are.

Nowadays, everything is in short supply in the market. If something is unsalable, it will not be unsalable in a larger scope.

Since he had run an electronic watch business and set up a tea stall, Fang Mingche was obviously not going to be as Buddhist or just muddle through as he was in his previous life.

Rebirth would be at this point in 1979. One thing was to reap the bonus of the college entrance examination era, and the other was to seize the opportunity to make money.

He can't be too aggressive because many things are still under investigation.

But since the individual business owner is explicitly recognized by the subdistrict office, he can exercise more freedom.

Of course, what the subdistrict office recognized was mainly that Lin Yan, a returned urban youth in the area, did not wait or rely on others, but started his own business, thus reducing the trouble of resettlement for them.

But at least it means that this behavior is no longer prohibited.

As for his illegal status, he talked about it the last time he went to see Lao Cheng and the others.

I guess his image as a failed educated youth who returned to the city has already been conveyed.

With this first impression, ordinary people would not want to think that he is an illegal resident.

"By the way, have you found the person who was assigned to the repeat class?"

Fang Mingche had only talked about this three days ago, but the college entrance examination was not too far away, so Lin Yan was also quite concerned about it.

On her way home two days ago, she rode her bike to find her familiar classmates and educated youth.

This year is already the third year of the college entrance examination. There are very few people like this couple who have failed twice and are still taking the exam.

Nowadays, they are basically fresh graduates, or graduates who have just graduated one or two years ago. Lin Yan, who just returned to the city, is not familiar with this group.

As for Lin Yi, he didn't even finish junior high school, and he didn't even know anyone who was still insisting on taking the college entrance examination.

This kid knew that he would definitely have a chance to take over, and the college entrance examination was cancelled at that time. It would be strange if he would study hard! However, after asking around, Lin Yan found out that two of her former junior high school classmates were still preparing for the exam.

Now I am in a pretty good repeat class in BJ.

Since we were junior high school classmates, our residences weren’t too far from each other.

She went directly to the female classmate. But the classmate probably thought that those who were going to take the college entrance examination were all competitors, so she declined her request to copy the materials!
She asked Lin Yi to drive her to another male classmate's place. Well, we have to avoid suspicion!
The other party was very surprised to see her at first, "Lin Yan, you are back too?"

He also readily agreed to lend her the test papers and exercise books for her to copy.

But he clearly expressed his desire to develop a revolutionary comradeship with her. He also kept saying that he had a good chance of passing the college entrance examination.

It seems like if you miss him, you will miss out on a blue chip stock.

This was the class beauty back then!
After listening to Lin Yan's hesitant words, Fang Mingche couldn't help but smile and said, "Your market is pretty good."

First of all, at this critical moment, I can arrange for you and your brother to be junior cadres in the factory. Although the bald man has two children and is 35 years old.

But nowadays, those who can be arranged with jobs are the most popular. What's the harm in having an ugly man? A coarse willow winnowing basket and a fine willow bucket!
Now a male junior high school classmate who I haven’t seen for many years has appeared.

If you were so confident, why didn’t you pass the exams in 77 or 78?
You know, college students who graduated in 77 or 78 had the opportunity to go directly to the central government after graduation.

No, it’s just a lack of human ears!
Born in 79, the highest position he could get was a high-ranking government agency.

Not to mention the future, the value is decreasing year by year.

Lin Yan said, "Let's get down to business. I want to go to the repeat class, but I don't know if they're still accepting people in March. If they are, I might as well sign up. I'll just get the information and not go to class. Anyway, it's easier to sign up through the repeat class."

I was reluctant to spend more than a hundred yuan on tuition for cram school before, but now my big tea stall is making quite a lot of money.

Spending money in this way can be considered as spending it wisely.

Fang Mingche nodded, "Okay, let's try to sign up. As long as you have the hope of getting into a college, the school should accept you. They may give you a preliminary survey. However, it would be best to find a teacher to recommend you. Otherwise, you may not be able to get in even if you go there for no reason. It is said that a high school teacher named Gao lives in the main courtyard of Mr. Gu's house. Let's go ask him later."

Teacher Gao lives nearby, so the school where he works shouldn't be too far away.

But it’s not close to the Lin family.

The school is nearby, which gives Ayan another legitimate reason to move in.

As for Teacher Gao, he would ask Uncle Gu and Song Quan about him and find out more about what kind of person he is before deciding on the next step.

Fang Mingche said, "Then once this matter is finalized, let's go visit your cousin's house together."

Lin Yan hesitated. "Although he has worked in the supply and marketing cooperative for many years, he is completely incompetent and is just an ordinary worker. If you have any problems, it may not be helpful to go to him."

"It's okay. At least he knows who to look for when something happens and can show us a way. Otherwise, we wouldn't be able to find the temple gate even if we held the knife."

Lin Yan looked at the big bowl tea stall set up in the same direction as theirs, gritted her teeth, and loudly solicited foreign and out-of-town customers.

Seeing how hard she was working, Fang Mingche was afraid that her voice would become hoarse.

"Ayan, just greet the ones who are nearby. It's okay, let's take it step by step."

Isn’t it just to gather popularity? Shouting is useful, but you can’t rely solely on shouting.

If this wasn't Tiananmen Square, we could probably find a way to get a tweeter.
