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

Chapter 44 Neighbor in Trouble
But this is Tiananmen Square. No matter who you are, you cannot shout with a loudspeaker in this place.

That would only prompt the relevant parties to free up their hands, move all the small vendors to distant places, and allocate stalls in a regular manner.

In that case, they, the individual business owners, will not be able to compete with the collective stalls.

Now that we have just put things right, there are so many things to do and not enough manpower.

Setting up stalls in this square is allowed only if it is harmless and can provide employment.

Besides, they set up big bowl tea stalls to facilitate the people. After the tourists finished drinking the water they brought, they could warm themselves up and quench their thirst for two cents.

While having dinner at a small restaurant that day, Fang Mingche keenly noticed that the owner had placed the table openly in the courtyard.

Unlike the previous few days when I was evasive and kept it at home, I would say that relatives came when someone asked about it. I even used nice words to them.

He smiled and asked, "Are private individuals allowed to open small restaurants now?"

This is clearly stealing the business of state-owned restaurants. Aren't you afraid that people will report you?
The boss said, "Now the street offices are organizing the establishment of big bowl tea stalls, allowing unemployed young people to find their own way out. I heard that you were the first to set up that big bowl tea stall?"

What a pity, within a few days, there were five or six of them in the square.

That one has no technical content. Unlike him, he can rely on his cooking skills to suppress the two new restaurants that have emerged in the past two days.

"Yes, but it's not a first come first served kind of place. Ah Yan, what would you like to eat?"

Lin Yan was a little annoyed. She only earned about ten yuan today. This was the result of her hard work, and there was also one yuan in it as a tip from a foreign tourist.

She took a deep breath and decided not to get emotional while eating.

Then he stood up and said, "I'll go in and check the dishes."

Here you can see what dishes the kitchen has prepared, and then order according to your preferences.

"Ah."

Yanyan also followed her mother in with her short legs.

Lin Yan held her hand to prevent her from getting close to fire or frying pans.

After dinner, Fang Mingche asked Song Quan about Teacher Gao.

When he heard that he wanted to find Teacher Gao to take Lin Yan to register for the repeat class, Song Quan waved his hands repeatedly, "He is in trouble now, he is so worried that he has no time to care."

"what happened?"

Song Quan squatted on the eaves of his house and smoked the Daqianmen cigarettes that Fang Mingche had handed out.

"A few days ago, a female student wrote him a love letter. Before she handed it in, her family found it. The incident became a big deal and the school was alerted. He might not be able to teach anymore. Now he just wants to use his connections to transfer to a logistics position. At least he won't lose his job. His mother is still sick and spends a lot of money on medicine every month."

Fang Mingche frowned, "Are you sure he didn't do anything wrong? Maybe he said something suggestive to his students in private. For example, he and his wife have no feelings for each other, and he was forced to get married."

In the previous life, an educated youth who returned to the city from their village was sent by the Yue family to teach at the university. He returned to the city relatively early, and it was also the Yue family who helped him.

That guy hinted and hinted at the female students.

But his wife is indeed big and strong, four or five years older than him, and has a bad temper.

But if you don't like her, you can just not marry her. She borrowed the power of Yue's family, but she was unwilling to do so.

When his wife went to beat the mistress, he shrank his head again.

He really looks down on such people!

"No, Xiao Gao is alone. Although he is three years older than you, he is not married yet. Where did he get his wife?"

As for why I haven’t gotten married yet, isn’t it because I have to spend money on medicine every month?

Fang Mingche said, "He is innocent, why does he need to use his connections to transfer to the logistics department? At this critical moment, people will think he is guilty. At this time, we should find witnesses! According to what you said, he and the girl should have had contact at school, in class, and in the office. As long as the teachers in the same office and the students in the class can testify for him, it can prove his innocence. At this time, we can't avoid contradictions!" Chinese intellectuals always avoid contradictions. What a coward!
It is also said that the bourgeoisie is weak, and this is even more true of intellectuals.

Well, Fang Mingche was like this in his previous life.

It wasn't until Yanyan was in high school that she was harassed by the son of a wealthy family and was terrified.

The school and teachers were all trying to smooth things over. The police also said it was just a young couple and they had no say in it.

Only then did Fang Mingche break free from the shackles of being an intellectual.

Guns were banned at that time, so he found a place to practice quick boxing. Then he sent Yanyan to a friend's house in another city to stay temporarily.

Then he started to beat the boy up.

Well, he called the police in advance. He said on the phone that he was going to talk to the guy.

Then the police came and saw that they were fighting each other. (If both of them started fighting, it was a fight. He studied the law in advance. If necessary, he could go to court to defend himself.)

He also sought help from students who worked in newspapers after graduation, and tried his best to make the matter reach a point where the newspaper could no longer suppress it.

The matter was finally settled privately. The boy got beaten for nothing and dared not to harass his daughter again.

So, as long as you become tough, no one can bully you.

If someone rides on your back, it's often because you bent down first!
Song Quan said: "I think what you said makes sense. I have to go talk to him!"

Fang Mingche nodded, "Yeah."

He got up and went back to his side yard.

This big courtyard was much better than theirs. It was just that there were more than a dozen families living there, so it was very noisy. Compared to that, he would rather live in the small side courtyard.

However, most of the courtyard houses nowadays are like this. It was the government that allowed people without houses to live in them.

Let alone this kind of civilian house. At present, there are more than 200 households living in Prince Gong's Mansion.

Over the past 20 years, the family has grown and spread out. Naturally, the place has become more and more crowded!

In the small side courtyard next door, after Aunt Gu hanged herself, it was the old man who did some trickery to save the four rooms in the side courtyard.

When Lin Yan heard about this situation, she also found it a bit tricky.

Whether it is a man or a woman, it is difficult to explain why someone is slandered for their lifestyle.

In particular, this is related to the issue of teacher ethics.

"Then I'll go back first!"

That night, Fang Mingche was just about to wash Yanyan when he heard a commotion in the main room. It seemed like a group of people came to the door!

He stood up and listened, and found out that it was the men of that family who were causing trouble for Teacher Gao.

He originally had a long and thin shadow reflected on the ground, and soon a shorter shadow appeared next to it.

He turned his head and saw Yanyan standing beside his legs, concentrating on listening to what was going on over there. Her little neck stretched a little.

Fang Mingche laughed, "You still like to watch the fun."

Seeing that Uncle Gu had also come out, he said, "Uncle Gu, please help me look after Yanyan. I'll go see what's going on!"

If he went there, he might get into trouble, so he definitely couldn't take his daughter there. Grandpa Gu had an empty child, and it was obvious that he really loved Yanyan.
