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

Chapter 62 Test of Will
Fang Mingche raised his eyebrows, "Then why do you still write letters?" He still looks for the postman at the door every day.

"I send one letter every month. Who knows when I'll get a reply." Grandpa Gu smiled bitterly.

Although he received replies over the years that the person did not exist and the letter was returned directly, later people even did not bother to return it to him.

Fang Mingche was silent for a while and said, "Aren't we starting to put order out of chaos? People are starting to come back one after another. Be alert and wait, you never know when they will come back."

If Mr. Gu’s son really can’t come back, that would be a huge temptation!

He knew that the policy of returning the property would be implemented soon. In the future, this whole compound would be worth nearly 100 million yuan!
Fang Mingche said, "When you feel better, ask Teacher Gao to accompany you and go to the relevant departments to make inquiries. There must be a lot of people who have lost contact in the past ten years. It may be related to personnel changes in his farm, lost files, etc. Or you can pay Teacher Gao to find someone for you during the summer vacation. Then try to get a letter of introduction. Then you can go to the street office with a cane to make a scene, or take a rope and say you are going to hang yourself in front of their unit!"

When Xiao Gu was at home, the person he had the best relationship with was Teacher Gao. In this matter, Teacher Gao was more suitable than himself.

Grandpa Gu looked at Fang Mingche. This idea was quite a fool! He didn't realize that this kid was so reckless.

Isn't he a teacher? He can speak English. He frightened Song Quan and his group. Only Xiao Wang saw something, but he was like him.

"How can he leave when he's in that fucking state? Never mind, he'll definitely come back when he can."

Fang Mingche thought to himself: You are afraid that what you find out will be bad news.

He said nothing more, went out and curled up on the bench to sleep.

Just because Grandpa Gu was willing to cover for him and lent him a radio to learn English, it was no big deal to take care of this old man who was in pain. He would be able to go back after two days in the hospital.

After returning home, he hired a male educated youth who couldn't find a job to be a caregiver for the old man.

In this situation, if you ask someone to take care of you, you can't say that Mr. Gu is exploiting you.

He had actually told Aunt Yuan about this yesterday. She was familiar with the person and it would be easier to find him.

As for the others, don't be greedy, don't be greedy! Anyway, he will leave after receiving the admission letter in a few months. He doesn't have time to work hard here with Mr. Gu.

The key point is that although the son has lost contact now, it is hard to say when he will come back. Wouldn't it be a waste of effort? Looking at the old man, he is actually quite healthy.

He should seize the stage before the economic take-off to raise more capital. In a few years, money can make money.

Now he had another two thousand, not only was A-Yan happy, he was also very happy.

Fang Mingche is now taking things one step at a time and cannot plan everything out completely. After all, there is uncertainty as to whether he can be admitted to university.

He might have to renew the lease and continue to run the tea stall, but with a stable income, he has the confidence to study for another year.

Nowadays, getting into university is like jumping into the dragon gate, and it is worth studying for a few more years.

The next morning, Song Quan called Lao Feng in. The two of them put all the things Fang Mingche had put on the tricycle and drove to the square.

Song Quan came back on a tricycle last night and left his bicycle to Fang Mingche.

They also took Yanyan on board. During the day, Song Quan's wife had to go to work and his son went to kindergarten.

Sending Yanyan to her biological mother is the best arrangement.

Lin Yan learned that the landlord had fallen and Fang Mingche had gone to the hospital to keep watch. She was stunned and said quickly: "Brother Song, go back and thank my sister-in-law for me!"

Yanyan must have gone home with her this afternoon.

"You're welcome. Let's set up the stall first. Tourists will be here soon." "Okay."

Lao Wang and the two logistics staff found out about it. After setting up their own stalls, they came over to help.

Fang Mingche arranged for Grandpa Gu to have breakfast and go to the toilet before rushing over. Business had already started here.

Fang Mingche thanked them and joined in.

Lao Wang took advantage of the slow situation, when there was no business on either side and no one around, and came over to joke with Fang Mingche.

"Why don't you just go with the flow and make it real? Anyway, the old man can use you as a fake nephew as a shield, which proves that he has no other relatives to rely on."

Fang Mingche said: "I'll give you this opportunity. You go tonight."

Lao Wang said, "If I dare to acknowledge my adoptive father, I'll just have to wait for my father to beat me up. Consider that although the old man only has that small side yard left, it's still more than 60 square meters. You're taking care of him anyway."

Fang Mingche said, "Believe it or not, I can't find anyone when I'm working. When it comes to inheriting the estate, any distant relative will show up. I'll just do good things and avoid trouble."

This era is full of great opportunities. You really don't have to take this path. You should hurry up and make money, and buy yourself a house while the price is still low in the 1980s. The original owner wants to sell the house and go abroad.

Lao Wang thought for a moment and said, "That's right. People must have brothers and sisters, or cousins. They also have their own children. They may not be in the capital, but when there is a benefit, they will definitely show up."

During the trip, the male educated youth who delivered water came over to deliver water. Fang Mingche asked him to help Mr. Cui order food and deliver it on time. Just add a sick meal to the usual ones.

As for Grandpa Gu, he asked the nurse to take better care of him. He even gave the nurse an industrial ticket. He will ask Grandpa Gu to reimburse him later.

It's a pity that there are no professional caregivers nowadays. That would save a lot of trouble.

"Okay. If you want to eat fresh, cooked food in the future, I can also deliver it to you."

Fang Mingche said, "Let's try it today. If necessary, I'll tell you. I'll also give you extra money for today's trip."

The food was delivered at 11:30. Fang Mingche put the patient meal in the pot to keep it warm and ate it quickly. Then he wrapped the lunch box with Gu Da Ye's Lei Feng hat and brought it to him. It was almost lunch time when he went there.

Uncle Gu was eating his hospital meal and looked a little touched.

"Xiao Fang, you paid for the hospital visit yesterday. You also went to buy the money this morning, and now. The money I use daily is kept in..."

Fang Mingche said, "No need. Give it to me after you are discharged from the hospital in two days, or when you are more comfortable. I locked the doors and windows for you yesterday. I also asked Brother Song and Teacher Gao to look after the door for you."

He would never enter Mr. Gu's house if it was under the melon field or the plum tree.

In the afternoon, Ayan took Yanyan back home, and he went directly to the hospital and didn't go back to the yard.

As for dinner, they had the same meal as lunch. The educated youth who delivered water was happy to make an extra trip.

It's a bit troublesome to deliver food, and you have to be careful of leakage. I'll give them 20 cents per trip.

The food is indeed more delicious when it is freshly cooked. And when the weather is warm, you don’t have to eat hot food.

The educated youth who delivered water earned one yuan today and was quite happy. He wished that this would happen every day in the future.

Although this money is meagre, it allows him to support himself!
