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

Chapter 98 Neat and Neat
Zhu Dahai said, "I didn't tell them. But they more or less guessed that you bought these two houses. They all said you were amazing! You were able to buy a house in four months."

Even if it's still 2000 short of Mr. Gu, it's still pretty impressive.

These four months were also the period in which the most people in China were unemployed and at a loss.

Fang Mingche nodded. He really couldn't hide the fact that he had bought a house.

But, "I can't hire him right now! I need to figure out how to handle this."

Fang Mingche poured cold water into the antimony pot and covered it. Then he casually flipped through Zhu Dahai's account book.

In fact, he had a rough idea of how much money he made this month. He asked Zhu Dahai to keep the accounts just to see if he could remember them clearly.

It's OK. Although it's a running account, it's clear at a glance. The handwriting is also ok.

Fang Mingche returned home at the end of June, making it exactly 25 days to the day. After deducting rent and material costs, his income was 518 yuan, and he still had to pay Zhu Dahai 125 yuan.

Fang Mingche took out 7 yuan from his trouser pocket, added it to the 118 yuan in loose change he had handed over.

"Thanks for your hard work!"

Zhu Dahai went to the bank to withdraw 500 yuan, knowing Fang Mingche would be back tonight. Normally, he wouldn't dare leave it at home.

Zhu Dahai grinned, "As I should."

At this moment, Lin Yi, riding a bicycle, also dropped his partner off.

The two of them were talking under a large tree at the entrance of the alley. Han Mei asked, "Your sister and brother-in-law are so good at making money, how much do they give to your family every month?"

She would have to bring money home on a monthly basis. If Lin Yi's sister did the same, it would be easy to convince him.

"I don't get it monthly, but I do get it during holidays, birthdays, or when something happens. I also buy clothes for my mom and Moutai for my dad. I think he gets quite a lot! Otherwise, my mom wouldn't be so dedicated to taking care of Yanyan."

Oh, all right.

"I am also the eldest sister in the family, with two younger brothers. My parents asked me to give money to the family every month after I started working."

Lin Yi said, "Ah, so you can get paid monthly?"

This, this is a bit too much.

"Yeah, I'm the older one, unlike you. Hasn't your dad agreed to retire early and let me take over?"

Lin Yi shook his head, "The old man is very stubborn."

Han Mei frowned. "My parents won't agree to that. I had a hard time convincing them not to ask for any other gifts, but just to let me take over your father's job in two years."

"But if my dad retires early, he'll lose a lot of money! He's not happy about that."

His father is a technician, and his salary is much higher than his mother's. A 20% loss is a bit big!
Moreover, if you retire early at 50 or normally at 60, you will lose ten years of seniority wages.

Maybe his father could get promoted in the last ten years of his life, and that would be even more.

These are what Lin’s father told him during their last communication.

Lin's father said that what a father earns will definitely belong to his sons and grandsons in the future, but what his daughter-in-law earns may not be the same.

Lin Yi took these words to heart, especially after hearing that Han Mei would take money back to her parents' home on a monthly basis.

"Your sister is older too, and she can earn money. She should shoulder more responsibilities."

Lin Yi said: "Didn't you hear them just now? They still owe 2000 foreign debts."

His mother said that his brother-in-law was a generous man despite being poor. He was still in debt, but he still bought her clothes.

Even if she doesn't buy it, can she still be mean to Yanyan?

Han Mei sighed, "Yeah. But they've already bought a house, so it's good for the three of them to live there on their own."

"That's because my brother-in-law's parents are farmers and can't come to the city at will."

Not everyone is as bold as his brother-in-law. He directly violated the policy and became a black business owner, not afraid of losing his livelihood.

I heard many farmers wouldn't dare travel such a long distance to the city. "So what's going to happen to us? Your family can't afford the three transfers and one ring, and you're not willing to retire early and let me take over. If you keep putting it off, my parents will have to ask someone to find me someone better."

She was at least a high school student, tall and with good features. But Lin Yi barely graduated from junior high.

Well, my two younger brothers probably won’t be able to get into high school.

But just because they are boys, they can take over their parents' jobs.

Lin Yan didn't know that something was happening with her future brother and sister-in-law.

After the water boiled, she went to the toilet to check, came back, found six nails and a hammer, and pounded them into the toilet wall, trying to make them as flush as possible.

This makes it convenient to hang up your clothes.

Yanyan followed her in and out, "Mom, are we going to the toilet here from now on?"

"Yeah, from now on your dad can finally stop queuing up to empty the toilet."

Mingche didn't like this at all. He said that because of this, the happiness of being a capital city dweller was compromised. In this respect, they were even worse than those in the countryside!
But he lives with Yanyan, if he doesn't do it, does he let Yanyan do it early in the morning?
"Okay, Mommy will give you a bath first. There's a drain, so you don't have to wash in the tub. Do you want to wash in the tub, or sit on a small stool and be washed?"

There is room for Yanyan's bathtub in here.

"Sit down and wash."

"Okay, Mom will get you a small stool and some clean clothes."

After a while, the water heated up and Fang Mingche brought it over.

Lin Yan took off Yanyan's clothes and hung them on the nails. Then she made her sit down and poured water on her to give her a bath.

"Okay, stand up and wash your butt."

After washing, Lin Yan took Yanyan back and put her to bed.

"I'm not in a hurry to go to bed yet. Dad, I want to hear a story."

Fang Mingche was listening to English. He hadn't listened for a month, so he was trying to get a feel for the language.

When I heard my daughter's request, I switched the channel to the bedtime story channel.

Lin Yan squatted on the ground, opened the box, and took out her change of clothes from it. "Mingche, please help me put the rest in the closet."

Fang Mingche responded, "Put it in yourself. I'll bring you the hot water."

This saves you from having to look back and think about what was wrong.

"also."

He went to get hot water, and Lin Yan stayed with Yanyan while putting away the clothes.

By the time they all took turns washing, Yanyan had already fallen asleep while listening to stories.

Fang Mingche carried his daughter to the inner side of the bed. Tonight, three people would sleep together instead of just two.

"When can she sleep alone?" There is room for a small bed next door.

Lin Yan said, "At least five years old."

"Grow up quickly. Otherwise you'll have to worry about her at night."

Fang Mingche placed his hand on her shoulder, "Huh, we're finally a complete family again!"

From the divorce on January 2nd to the remarriage, it took a full six and a half months!
Lin Yan couldn't help but laugh, "I heard you think she was redundant just now."

"It's a special time. Okay, after you take a shower, it's time to go to bed. We'll be quieter later, and you should keep your voice down."

"You have the loudest voice!"
