Chapter 144 Abundant New Year Goods For

such a family, it is impossible for them to keep the new for three years, the old for three years, and mend for another three years. After all, that decade has ended, and the reform and opening up has been going on for more than 13 months. No need to pretend to be simple anymore, they have gradually resumed their previous style. The place where they spend their daily money is also the Overseas Chinese Shopping Mall.

Huo Chen said: "So, you want me to ride a tricycle and station at the door of the Overseas Chinese Apartment to collect waste from their community? But in fact, two hours a day is almost enough, just concentrate on that time period."

Fang Mingche nodded, "I think so too, plus the round trip, one morning is enough. You come back for lunch."

Going every day, the residents get used to it after going more often.

"Okay." Huo Chen was actually a little disappointed.

In the past few months, this boss seemed to have forgotten about him. When he was called here today, he originally thought there would be personnel changes for promotions. Especially after the two came back, they looked very happy. Clearly they were promoted!

"Teacher Fang, is that all? I have no problem. If there is nothing else, I will leave first."

Fang Mingche smiled, "Don't you ask yourself when you can get the same commission as them?"

Huo Chen said, "I want to ask. But if there is only one scrap yard, there are only three of us. We can't have one store manager and two deputy store managers. Teacher Fang, when will you open the second store?"

If there is no definite answer, he really has to make other plans. The basic salary is really too little compared to the commissions of the two. Obviously, he didn't cheat. Although he knew it was because he came back late. But if it goes on for a long time, it is really easy to get unbalanced.

Fang Mingche said: "Liu Qingfeng will go to the south to open a store on March 1st. Geng Shan will act as the store manager for a month to see if he can do the job. As for you, you will be promoted to deputy store manager and get the corresponding commission from the store. Then go to the Overseas Chinese Apartment in the morning and come back in the afternoon. If you want to get more commission, work hard to expand the plate. Moreover, I am not rigid about the first come, the last come. If you have the ability and a down-to-earth attitude, you can also have the opportunity to surpass the last comer. In fact, I have always been paying attention to you."

Huo Chen's always serious square face showed a smile, and he finally waited for it. Then when the weather is good, he should be able to get a hundred. Or not only that, didn't he add a point for the Overseas Chinese Apartment.

"Teacher Fang, don't worry, I will do my best to get things done."

Fang Mingche nodded with a smile.

"Then I'll go to work."

After the door closed, Gao Xiang said, "You're amazing. All three of them are so happy."

Fang Mingche said, "It must be better to expand the scale. Are you going to use the two peaches to kill three soldiers trick? Well, the scrap yard needs to raise money to buy two pickup trucks."

"Why buy pickup trucks? They're just for receiving and delivering goods. Farm vehicles are much cheaper."

"Farm vehicles and tractors are the same thing. Pickup trucks have a wider range of practical applications, and the money isn't much more. How much money is in the account?"

Gao Xiang said, "It's the same as last month. January broke even. Still only 8,000 yuan. It's probably the same for February. I'll take 1,500 yuan from opening the store in March, so I'm afraid I'll have to save up for a few more months. The scrap yard and travel agency are most in need of means of transportation."

"From tricycles to pickup trucks to commercial vehicles, we've made a triple jump. You go about your business. I'll go find Secretary Qu."

Fang Mingche put on his scarf, Lei Feng hat, and military gloves, and walked towards the village branch in the cold wind. He could just call the three subordinates over. But for Secretary Qu, he would definitely have to go to his office to meet him. The county magistrate might as well manage it now!

Secretary Qu was not too surprised to see him. The scrapyard opened on August 8, and the rental contract that everyone signed a few days ago is about to expire!

He smiled and said, "Teacher Fang, business is booming."

This boss told people not to call him boss. He said that both of them are teachers. Now they are both studying at a normal college, and they will continue to teach after graduation, so they can just call him teacher.

Well, two serious college students, calling them teachers is not a disadvantage. From him down, everyone in the village calls them teachers.

Fang Mingche said, "Secretary Qu, are you kidding? My business is almost as cold as the weather."

As he spoke, he took out a pack of Panda Eyes and gave one to the other party. He didn't usually smoke this cigarette, but only for occasions like this. Get twice the result with half the effort!

Secretary Qu knew what he was talking about, his face changed slightly, and he took it with both hands.

"Didn't you say your family is farmers? How come you're smoking Panda Eyes?"

Fang Mingche pretended to light a cigarette for him, but Secretary Qu quickly waved his hand and put it behind his ear. He would have to show off enough in the circle of village secretaries before smoking such a cigarette that was worth showing off.

Fang Mingche said, "Didn't you hear what Liu Qingfeng and the others said? I opened a foreign travel agency with a son of a high-ranking official, specializing in receiving foreign guests and expatriates. I earned some foreign exchange for the country and got some benefits for myself."

Secretary Qu nodded, "Yes, yes, I heard them mention it. So what else did you do today besides paying the rent for the next six months?"

This kid is really good at getting around! He even smoked Panda Eyes.

Fang Mingche said, "I'm here not only to pay the rent. I also want to renew a long-term contract with the village."

Secretary Qu raised his eyebrows, "Long-term contract?"

"Yes, I'm too lazy to pay every six months. Let's sign for twenty years!"

Secretary Qu rolled his eyes, "What about the rent?"

The ancestral hall is of no particular use in the village. The key is that many people want to use it, so it's best to rent it out and collect the rent and share the money. This way, the least people will have objections. But since Mr. Fang is willing to sign for twenty years at once, it proves that he really needs this place. The rent can't be too low!

Fang Mingche said, "You can set a year-on-year increase rate, or just follow the inflation data directly."

Looking back at the transition from a planned economy to a market economy, inflation will inevitably occur. In the late 1980s and early 1990s, the annual inflation rate was as high as more than 20%, which was amazing!

Under such high inflation, money depreciated greatly. He remembered that in the years when inflation was the highest, the annual bank deposit interest rate soared to 18% and 16%. The interest rate of private lending was even more frightening.

However, it was basically under control in the mid-1990s. Therefore, both methods have their own advantages and disadvantages.

Secretary Qu said: "We need to discuss this at the village committee meeting before we can give you a reply."

Fang Mingche said, "As soon as possible! If you drag your feet, I have to make preparations. Anyway, the advantage here is that it is close to the garbage dump. I can find another place, or raise the purchase price a little, and then let the scavengers carry it over."

He told Liu Qingfeng about this after he went back, "Maybe you can't wait until March 1st. It's a bit hard to go out and find a place in this weather. From which day you leave, your salary will be calculated according to what I just said, and the maximum three months will be averaged to the number of days."

Liu Qingfeng nodded to show that he understood, and he had to put some pressure on Secretary Qu and the others. Otherwise, they would think that the scrap yard must want to rent this place, so they would ask for an exorbitant price.

Fang Mingche looked at the kitchen and then at the room where Uncle Xia slept at night.

When he communicated with his three subordinates just now, he asked them to keep it confidential. Now it depends on how Huo Chen chooses to stand. However, he did not intend to lower the rent, but just didn't want to be ripped off.

Even if Huo Chen really told Secretary Qu, the worst that could happen is to find two more places. As for the scavengers who are now familiar with each other, most of them also come from places not far away. As long as the purchase price increases a little, they can still walk over.

At noon, Gao Xiang's account was done, and Fang Mingche and him had lunch together with the people from the scrap station and a few scavengers who came to the scrap station.

Everyone still took their own lunch boxes, and Sister Wei served them with a spoon. She definitely gave Fang Mingche and Gao Xiang preferential treatment, and took a few bowls to serve them separately. She served them four dishes and a soup.

A scavenger who came later whispered to his companion, "Who are these two?"

"The boss and the accountant. They are both college students, so they rarely see each other. This should be after the final exam."

Before leaving, Fang Mingche said to Liu Qingfeng and others, including Sister Wei, "I will come to give you the year-end bonus before the New Year! It's a little bit of a token of my appreciation, based on your daily performance. Remember to tell Uncle Xia."

Although Uncle Xia only came to sleep every night, he hasn't dropped anything in the past six months. This is competent for his job.

Then the two got into Master He's car and went back.

Gao Xiang said, "I'm a northerner and I feel a little cold when I go out for a run. Xiao Fang, I think you're fine."

He looked at Fang Mingche and saw that he didn't feel like shivering in the cold wind.

Fang Mingche smiled and said, "There's a close-fitting down jacket lining inside my military coat. It's not thick, but it's enough for this weather."

Nowadays, except for the East and West Chang'an Avenues, there is no collective heating in the capital. It will take a few years! The price of air conditioners is incredibly expensive, 6,000 yuan per unit. Then he can only think of ways to wear more warm clothes. Otherwise, it will be difficult for him, a southerner, to spend the winter in the north for the first time!

"Down jacket?"

"Yes, clothes filled with duck and goose down. Those who climbed Mount Everest in the 1960s wore down jackets."

Ordinary people in this era were short of supplies, food and clothing, and few people knew about down jackets. It was quite good to have cotton-padded clothes, military coats, and space suits to wear in winter. He also watched "The Climbers" filmed by Wu Jing, Zhang Ziyi and others in later generations. Only then did I know that there was a factory making down jackets in Shanghai in the 1960s. The ones provided to the team members who climbed the Himalayas for the country must be the thickest ones. They must be custom-made!

In this planned economy era, such a rare thing is definitely not something you can buy if you want. He paid for it and asked Wang Dexian to get it. There is one for each of the three of them, as well as his mother-in-law and father-in-law.

Oh, he also prepared one for his parents and put it in the closet. The winter in Sichuan is ten degrees warmer than in the capital. Whether the old people will wear it after sending it back is another matter, but they will definitely scold him for not knowing what is good for them. Knowing that they are coming, he still sent it back. The postage is too high!

The key is that he was afraid that after spending money and effort, the things would be lost halfway, which would benefit someone who stole the parcels on the train. So, he put it there and waited for his parents to come before giving it to them.

Wang Dexian got one for himself, and also got one for his mother, stepfather and sister. He also got one for his old man. Fang Mingche paid for it, and Wang said he would deduct it from his dividends later.

In order to motivate Wang Dexian, the old man said that he could get a share of the profits if he arranged it himself. The Wang family would take one third, the old man would take 25%, and the rest would belong to Wang Dexian. He was even more attentive when he worked.

As a result, the old man refused to wear the down jacket after it was taken back. He insisted that when he crossed the snowy mountains, he sewed two single military uniforms into one and put some cotton wool inside. Isn't it enough to wear a military coat now? But he heard that it was made by the manufacturer that made mountaineering uniforms for the team members who climbed Mount Everest in the 1960s. He also said that it must be very warm.

Wang Dexian could only say: "Grandpa, then I'll put it in your closet. You can wear it when you want."

At this moment, Gao Xiang asked about the price and gave up the idea of ​​asking Wang Dexian to get a few more this year. It's really expensive! Moreover, it's February now, and the coldest time of the year is about to pass. Let's talk about it next year. Next year, he shouldn't be so short of money.

His mother seldom goes out. She always covers herself with a quilt when sitting on the bed, and uses a small stove to keep warm when getting out of bed. Just make sure to keep the room ventilated.

He and Xiao Xie don't seem to be as afraid of cold as Fang Mingche's family from the south. Lin Yan has been in the south for eight years, and now she can't stand the severe cold in the capital. When

Fang Mingche returned home, he saw a group of children next door jumping rope through the crack of the half-moon door. It's just a long rope, one person is responsible for swinging it at one end, and the others jump in one after another. It's very warm to jump like this, and I guess Yanyan is in there.

The children from the neighborhood next door come here every day to watch children's programs, and they will definitely call Yanyan when they play.

The office phone rang, and Lingzi picked it up and answered in English.

The other side said: "Lingzi, this is Fang Mingfeng, is Mingche there?"

"Yes, I just got back. Please wait a moment--" Then she shouted loudly: "Teacher Fang, your cousin is calling."

Fang Mingche walked over to answer, and the other side said: "Mingche, I'm in the county town."

"I'm glad you arrived safely. Your video hall business should be very good, right?"

"Yes, it's quite good at night, and it's a little slower during the day. Your sister-in-law has already bought all the New Year's goods. I will send them to Uncle Qi and Aunt Qi when I return to the village in the afternoon."

Fang Mingche gave money and asked him to buy some New Year's goods for his parents at the black market in the county town and bring them back. They still couldn't bear to buy anything just by sending money. After buying it back, they couldn't exchange it with others.

"Okay, then our family will wait for you in the capital."

Fang Mingche hung up the phone and walked back to the east wing.

Lin Yan sat on a large rattan chair with thick cushions. There was a stove next to her, and she was knitting a sweater. She was wearing the kind of gloves that showed the fingertips.

She likes to knit sweaters when she has nothing to do now, one for the family of three and one for each of her parents. After knitting for her parents, she also needs to prepare for her parents-in-law. As for the one in her belly, it will be summer when it comes out in May. She will knit his in the second half of the year. After knitting for an hour, she gets up and walks around or eats some stewed soup.

When Fang Mingche asked, Yanyan really went to the next courtyard to jump rope. Niuniu had called people over from the half-moon gate before.

The mother-in-law was cooking soup in the kitchen. The kitchen is also a very comfortable place to stay in winter.

Speaking of Fang Mingfeng, he has returned to the county and is staying in the video hall. Lin Yan pulled the thread in her hand and

said, "How much of the video hall do the couple own?" Fang Mingche said, "I didn't ask, I guess they don't own the majority."

There are bosses and big bosses behind them. Otherwise, how could Brother Mingfeng alone safely and securely transport the smuggled color TVs and video recorders back from Guangzhou? And he can also get a steady stream of film sources from Hong Kong.

Lin Yan said, "I calculated for him. Two color TVs and two VCRs can make a net profit of 1,500 to 2,000 per month. If it doesn't take up the lion's share, then the most a year would be 10,000."

Fang Mingche laughed, "10,000 is pretty good! Ten thousand-dollar households are rare."

Lin Yan smiled, looking at Fang Mingche with tenderness in her eyes. Brother Mingfeng is indeed quite good, but he is still not comparable to Mingche.

Mingche makes more than 10,000 a year running a scrap yard. Even if we exclude the two months of extreme weather in winter, it is still the same if he only makes money for ten months a year.

Fang Mingche thought to himself: That's not the way to compare! I've experienced it once, but Brother Mingfeng is the first time. Anyway, Brother Mingfeng in his previous life was the most promising descendant of the Fang family.

He talked to Lin Yan about what happened today.

Lin Yan said, "We are not trying to reduce the rent in the village, we just don't want to be ripped off. Huo Chen is a smart man and won't make mistakes."

As the couple was talking, Lin's mother brought two bowls of chicken soup over on a tray.

"Ayan, eat this bowl of soup and meat. Mingche, you should also drink a bowl of hot soup to warm yourself up." She put it on the bedside table, "Eat it while it's hot!"

Fang Mingche picked up the spoon and chopsticks, "Okay, Mom, you eat too."

Mother Lin said, "Don't worry, I won't let myself go. I'll go see if Yanyan is reluctant to come back."

Fang Mingfeng and his wife rented a tractor in the village in the afternoon and returned to the village with a full load of New Year's goods. Now that the atmosphere has been relaxed, he is too lazy to hide it. He bought it from the black market, so what?

Someone at the entrance of the village saw it and said, "Oh, Mingfeng is back. So many New Year's goods?"

Fang Mingfeng pointed to the left, "This is what Mingche asked me to bring back for Uncle Qi and Aunt Qi."

The tractor passed by Fang Mingche's house first. He stood in the tractor and shouted, "Uncle Qi, Minghua, come out to deliver the New Year's goods. Mingche asked me to bring it back--"

The father and son who were roasting by the fire inside responded and came out. Seeing the things in half of the carriage, they couldn't help but said, "So many?"

Half a huge pig's head, four pieces of meat, four big fish still swimming in the bucket, two big fat ducks, and some rare fruits in this season. Rice, flour and oil are all available!

Fang Mingfeng said, "Yes, Mingche has already given the money. He said that if you can't finish it, you can take it as a gift, and let Aunt Qi and sister-in-law take some back to her parents' home. He said that he is not at home all year round, and the family's affairs are thanks to his brother and sister-in-law. You don't have to be polite to him!"

Fang's mother and Yuan Shufen also came out. When Yuan Shufen heard that she was named and had her share, her face immediately burst into a smile.

Fang Jian's eyes lit up, so much meat! He didn't need to be called by adults, and took the initiative to help grandparents and parents to move the things off the tractor first, so that Uncle Mingfeng and Auntie could go home earlier.

The tractor was open, and it was a bit cold to drive back all the way. Fang Mingfeng and his wife took a blanket and covered themselves with it to keep warm.

After the things were moved, Fang's father smiled and said, "Mingfeng, nephew and wife, thank you! Go home and warm up quickly."

The New Year's goods of these two families naturally made everyone in the village envious. After a while, someone came to chat with Fang's mother while sewing shoe soles and knitting sweaters. These were all families with whom the Fang family had a good relationship, and some of them had helped the Fang family when they were poor. Otherwise, why would they come at this time?

Fang's mother was also very generous and picked up a few fruits of various colors, and put freshly boiled oil residue in a porcelain bowl, sprinkled with a little salt and served it to them.

"Try it, don't be polite." Fang's mother was rarely generous, and her face was filled with a comfortable smile.

Her second son had made a good career. Not only did he get into a prestigious university, but he also earned a lot of money by working and studying. It didn't matter whether it was a waste collection business or not, as long as he made money. Besides, he didn't have to work every day, it was all done by hired people.

In the kitchen, Yuan Shufen, who was still working, was also full of energy. I have never seen such a rich New Year's goods. In a few days, my parents-in-law will pass away, and the leftovers will belong to their family. Those who are still alive will be kept first.

Fang Jian, Fang Kang, and even Fang Fang were in the kitchen, and they all ate fried food. It smells so good! This is a rare greasy aroma in the house. The three sisters were all so happy that they laughed so hard that their teeth were showing.

There were naturally a bunch of guests at Fang's father's place, most of whom were from the Fang family, Fang Mingche's uncles. Yuan Shufen also took out fruits, boiled peanuts, oil residue, etc. with a dustpan.

"Mingche has really made progress. Old Seven, your good fortune is still to come!"

Fang's father said, "I was really mad at this time last year. I only know now that he must have been confident to do that."

These words made the uncles who said Fang Mingche was stupid last year feel a little embarrassed. They all complained in their hearts, you still had the same attitude last year.

Someone else asked, "Seventh Brother, is the capital so good?"

Father Fang said while peeling boiled peanuts, "The capital must be good! Otherwise, why is it the capital? Wait until I go back and I'll tell you."

The visitors looked at each other, and someone said, "We want to say that since Mingfeng can go to the capital to make money, can you ask Mingche to let my MingX go too?"

After spring plowing and spring sowing, farming work is actually a little easier. Although the 30 yuan fare is high, looking at Mingche and Mingfeng, it is probably easier to make money in the capital.

The villagers are now more active. Those who are close to Mingche's family want to go to him to see if there are any good opportunities. Those who are close to Mingfeng's family naturally want to rely on him. If the land is divided and they work alone, they don't have to ask for leave from the production team leader for a few days before they can go.

Father Fang said, "My Minghua just stayed at home, because he doesn't speak Mandarin well. If he wants to be a migrant worker, he must speak Mandarin well. As for Mingfeng, because he has a Guangzhou accent, he can only pretend to be a Hong Kong compatriot."

"Why pretend to be a Hong Kong compatriot?"

Father Fang said with some pride, "My Mingche asked an acquaintance in the government to write a letter of introduction for him and bought a sleeper ticket."

He originally thought that the price difference between sleeper and hard seat was too big, so he planned to take a hard seat. But the youngest son wrote back, saying that his scrap business and vegetable business were doing well, and he could make hundreds of dollars a month.

After hearing him talk about the terrible hard seat during the Spring Festival travel rush, he was convinced. Since the youngest son prepared a sleeper ticket, then take the sleeper. He said that the price difference of a few dozen yuan was nothing to him. He also said that he would rather lose money than lose people.

"So you guys are also going to take sleeper berths?"

"Yes. Actually, I told his mother that I could endure any hardship, and he insisted on buying sleeper berths for us. Since he has already bought it, let's take it."

"So when are you leaving?"

"Mingfeng said that we will go to the city to take the train on the sixth day of the first lunar month. I know why you are here. But as I said, learn to speak Mandarin first. Otherwise, you will be caught by the red armbands and sent back. Even if you find an excuse to go to Beijing, the letter of introduction is only valid for fifteen days. Moreover, not everyone can make a lot of money if they go there. It's not easy to live in the capital! Mingche is a college student, and there is a video hall in Mingfeng County."

The only person in the family who is not harmonious is Fang Minghua. Everyone is praising his brother for being smart and capable, and no one sees his hard work and fatigue at home. The old man just asked him to go back to the room to sort out his emotions and not show them on his face. He doesn't even need to mix tea or pour water, and he is so happy that he comes in person.

Fang's father is very happy that his son has made progress. But at this time, Lin's father is not very happy.

Fang Mingche said that Lin Yan's belly was getting big, and he didn't want her to go back and forth in the cold winter. Besides, he had to go to work on New Year's Eve, and Yanyan also needed his mother-in-

law to look after her. The child would have more fun there. He also had to entertain several subordinates who couldn't go back home to celebrate the New Year together. How about they celebrate the New Year at his place? After they dispersed in the evening, he would drive a commercial vehicle to take them back. Father Lin thought it was okay at first, as it would be convenient for his pregnant daughter. Besides, his place was only 28 square meters, which was indeed a bit crowded. However, he felt uncomfortable when he saw Lin Yi was so happy to hear the news.

Lin Yi said to Han Mei in the house: "My sister must have asked someone to buy a lot of delicious food on the black market. There must be chicken, duck, fish and meat. There are also fruits and vegetables. We have nothing but cabbage here. And my sister and brother-in-law have a TV. My brother

-in-law drove back to us after watching TV." Han Mei looked at him, are you stupid? You are so happy to spend the New Year at your sister and brother-in-law's house. When we can live such a good life ourselves, it will not be too late to be happy again.

Such a house is not very soundproof. Father Lin felt a little better when he heard that his daughter-in-law did not agree.

But he couldn't help but fire at Lin Yi at the dinner table, "As the saying goes, it's better to follow a son who begs for food than a daughter who is an official. We went there to accommodate your sister's heavy body and Yanyan, who is a little kid. It's not for your sister and brother-in-law to eat well and play well. If you have ambitions, you should think about how you can let your family live that kind of life!"

Lin Yi said, "You haven't let your family live that kind of life, so why do you ask me to do that?"

Han Mei kicked Lin Yi under the table. How can you talk to your dad? Hurry up and give in! Han Mei is a person who respects her elders very much, whether it is sincere or just for show.

Father Lin took a few deep breaths, "When we were young, we had no other choice. The best way out was to go to Workers' and Peasants' University, join the army, get a job, or become a teacher. Your mother and I were both recruited into factories, and we were the envy of others. You and Meizi, you have both caught up with a good era. Meizi wants to make progress, and that's the right thing to do. As long as you keep performing so well, I can talk to your brother-in-law on your behalf in some time."

Han Mei was pleasantly surprised, "Thank you, Dad!" What a father-in-law says should carry more weight than what her mother-in-law and Lin Yi say.

"You are already the daughter-in-law of our Lin family, so naturally I am looking forward to you. As for Lin Yi, Mei Zi said that it is the right thing to do to let you take the entrance exam to the Workers' University. You are only in your early twenties now, a young person, and you don't have any children yet. If you don't work hard now, when will you work hard? When your sons and daughters grow up, are you as shameless as your uncle, who only knows how to go to your sister and brother-in-law's house to get benefits? Your sister is pregnant with Yanyan now, and the baby in her belly will be born in three months. Just think about it from their perspective, you wouldn't like an elder like your uncle, right? You also want to have the same weight of words as your brother-in-law at home and among relatives, right? We will go to your sister and brother-in-law's house on New Year's Eve, but your uncle will go on the second day of the first lunar month. You have to take care of it, right? What can you do to take care of it?"

Lin Yi's face gradually changed, and after a while he said, "I know, Dad. After I go to work, I will find out what preparations need to be made for the entrance exam to the Workers' University."

As for the second day of the first lunar month, he really didn't have the ability to take care of it. He just received his salary this month, and paid 15 yuan for food expenses, and the remaining 20 yuan was taken away by Han Mei. Even if he had savings, he only had 20 yuan.

Indeed, what can he use to run the business? He still has to rely on his parents to pay for it. Moreover, he went to his sister and brother-in-law's house to eat delicious food on New Year's Eve, so they must not be stingy on the second day of the first lunar month.

Father Lin nodded, "I hope you will do what you say, and don't be a three-minute enthusiasm. Also, your brother-in-law's parents will come to Beijing on the eighth day of the first lunar month. As in-laws, your mother and I should also entertain them. You two should also help at home when the time comes."

Han Mei nodded, "Dad, this is what I should do."

She really wants to go to the travel agency to make a lot of money. For this reason, she has changed her attitude towards her family. Moreover, she actually found that once she really got tough, her parents and two younger brothers were not as strong as they said before.

Although she is only selling eggs now, her income is basically stable. It's only in the middle of winter that she can't get many eggs, and the business is somewhat affected. But the eldest sister-in-law always gives her as much as possible, and she deducts the amount from others.

With a stable income, she felt more confident in facing her parents and brothers. The sense of security that money gave her was greater than that of her parents and two brothers. Well, it was also greater than that of Lin Yi.

She had to perform well in the future and strive to become a tour guide and get more commissions! If she could earn more than a hundred yuan a month, would her parents and brothers change their attitude towards her?

Lin Yi would not be motivated anymore and would be sincere to herself. And it was also necessary for her to have a relationship with her elder sister-in-law and brother-in-law. Now she could only try her best to urge him to make progress. It was good that he was stimulated by his father-in-law's words. However, it was necessary to worry about whether it was a three-minute enthusiasm.

Seeing that Lin Yi finally felt embarrassed, Lin's father felt a little comforted.

"Okay, let's eat."

February 3rd was Chen Zhiqing's wedding day. Fang Mingche and his family of three set off at 11:30, still in Master He's car. People are all indulging in pleasure. Fang Mingche was too lazy to ride a bicycle when he could take a black car like this.

Riding a bicycle means being blown by the wind, and being careful not to fall because of the slippery road. A fall like this would be a disaster! Yanyan sat on the small rattan chair on the front horizontal bar, and Ayan sat in the back, pregnant. Riding like this, Fang Mingche felt a lot of pressure. So, it's better to take Lao He's car.

When Master He turned the car around, Fang Mingche said, "Ayan, what is Chen Zhiqing's name?"

She hasn't been a Zhiqing for a long time, and it doesn't seem appropriate to call her that.

Lin Yan said with a smile, "Chen Shu-na."

However, it was quite pleasing to her that her man didn't even know the name of another woman, a woman he said he respected.

After driving for a while, Master He said, "Teacher Fang, if people nowadays are as willing to spend as you, our business would definitely be much better than it is now."

Fang Mingche said, "People who have just started working only make more than 30 yuan a month. How can they afford to take a black taxi for daily transportation? As for the elderly, most of them are reluctant to spend this money. Just one ride can almost eat two kilograms of pork. And that's in the city. You have to pay more when you go out of the city."

Therefore, the black taxis in the entire capital are not very popular now. The taxi industry in the capital will not develop greatly until the 1990 Asian Games. However, Guangzhou now has licensed taxis.

Lin Yan glanced at Fang Mingche. The one who wanted to take a ride but couldn't afford it was obviously Lin Yi. The one who was talking about eating two kilograms of pork in one ride was her father. So he didn't mention any names.

Master He sighed, "You are right. In the three seasons other than winter, tricycles do much better business than us."

Soon they arrived at the state-owned restaurant where Chen Shuona had booked her wedding. Fang Mingche got out of the car first and carried Yanyan down. Lin Yan paid the money and then slowly got out of the car. Fang Mingche asked Yanyan to stand under the eaves, then went over to open the door for Lin Yan and helped her out of the car.

When the car arrived, many people inside, including several people sitting by the window, could see it. After all, in their circle, it was still rare to ride in a car. When they first saw Yanyan and Fang Mingche getting out of the car, someone asked, "Is that Lin Yan's lover and child?"

"It seems so."

Everyone was a little bit mixed when they saw Fang Mingche. They didn't expect him to be admitted to Beijing Normal University! He suddenly became a citizen of the capital, and there was a bright future waiting for him after graduation. Also, they didn't expect him and Lin Yan to be together again.

Especially at the table, there was a pair of educated youth who had once "fake divorced" and returned to the city. They agreed to remarry after returning to the city and settled down, but now they are married. At this moment, the eyes of both of them were a little wandering. Fortunately, they didn't bring their families today, otherwise they would have conflicts when they returned home.

As for Wu Dan, she was looking at Yanyan standing at the door. Yanyan was wearing a black woolen dress knitted for her by Lin Yan, a bright red space suit on the outside, and a pair of black boots to the knees on her feet. She looked very fashionable!

She remembered that during the summer vacation, Lin Yan said that her Xiaodan was no different from a rural girl now.

She originally wanted to have another child with Lao Zhou, so that their relationship would be more stable. As a result, Lao Zhou actually said that if it weren't for the two children to have someone to take care of them, he would never marry her. Otherwise, who would he, a leader, not be able to find? As for finding her a temporary worker?

If you want to have children, wait until both children go to college or have jobs. In other words, you have to wait at least five or six years. She will be in her early thirties by then. But according to Lin Yan's analysis that day, family planning may be enforced. Will she still have a chance to have children by then? Why can't Ma Baoguo be like Fang Mingche?

A male educated youth said: "Oh, you even take a car when you go out? It seems that the big bowl tea stall is really profitable."

Unfortunately, even if you know that the flow of people in Tiananmen Square is amazing, people are not allowed to set up stalls. If he had known earlier, he would have set up a tea stall when he just came back last year. That doesn't require too much capital, at most a few people can get together.

"I heard that they have set up a scrap yard and a vegetable business. But in this weather, there is probably no business. Look, Teacher Fang has learned the gentlemanly manners of foreigners and went around to open the car door for Lin Yan. This is really someone from the English department!"

The car door opened and everyone saw it. It turned out that Lin Yan was pregnant again, no wonder she was willing to spend money on a black taxi.

Chen Zhiqing went to deliver wedding invitations before, and after returning, she did not mention the travel agency opened by Fang Mingche, nor did she mention Lin Yan's pregnancy. She did not see Lin Yan.

Fang Mingche walked in with Yanyan in one hand and with one hand on Lin Yan's waist. At the door, he took the wedding cigarette from Chen Shu Na's lover Zhao Xue Ning on the ground, congratulated him, and handed over the red envelope.

The wedding candy was handed to Yan Yan and Lin Yan. Yan Yan said: "Thank you, uncle and aunt!"

Chen Shu Na said: "You're welcome. Yan Yan doesn't remember Aunt Chen, but I watched you grow up. You were so small when you were born." She smiled and gestured with her hands.

Today Chen Shu Na wore a bright red woolen coat and put on makeup. She looked happy.

However, her complexion was still not comparable to Lin Yan, who had been nourished by Lin's mother with soup and water recently. Since her son-in-law was willing to spend money, Lin's mother naturally bought the best things for her daughter's belly!

Lin Yan looked so good that she couldn't hide the dark-colored cotton coat she picked today. According to the rules, she couldn't steal the bride's limelight today. So, she was very careful about her clothes. As for Yanyan, it didn't matter to her as a child wearing bright red.

She also smiled and said, "Congratulations, both of you."

Chen Shuona said, "Oh, it looks like you are well-fed. Come in quickly. The feast will start soon! There is a seat reserved for you at Wu Dan's table."

The table was full of educated youth who returned to the city together, and they were all originally from the capital. Fang Mingche also recognized them all.

Zhao Xue Ning also kept saying, "Please come in, please come in!"

His wife had told him about the couple. Both of them were college students, the pride of today's era! So, he was also particularly enthusiastic. People all admire the strong. If you make friends with such capable people, you may ask them for help in the future.
