Chapter 163 Between Brothers

When Fang Mingfeng and Fang Mingche went to pick up Fang Tong from school, my cousin’s wife took a bath in the bathroom. Brother Mingfeng brought the water for her before he left. She had been on the train for three days and three nights in this weather. She felt that if she didn’t take a shower, her body would be sticky.

She washed off the dust from the journey, and then went into the main room to chat with Lin Yan, who was in confinement. In that state before, she really didn’t dare to easily enter the confinement room. The resistance of both the mother and the baby is much weaker than that of ordinary people.

My cousin’s wife lives in a more spacious place at home, so she didn’t think the conditions of Lin Yan’s confinement room were very good.

However, during the chat, Lin Yan told her, "I asked the nurse, it is not absolutely forbidden to take a bath or wash your hair during the confinement period. It's just that there were no conditions before, so it is the most convenient to let the mother cover herself up. Especially in the countryside, there is always a shortage of medical care and medicine. I talked to my mother for several days, and she finally agreed to let me go to Beijing Hotel to book a room to wash my hair and take a bath tomorrow and on the 15th. There is a shower there, and there is also a heat preservation device. And there is a hair dryer, you can dry your hair immediately after washing. When the time comes, wrap it up, Mingche will drive me there. I won't be blown by the wind all the way!"

My cousin's wife said, "Are you going tomorrow?"

"Yes, I have covered myself up for more than ten days. In fact, my body has almost recovered, and I still have the physical strength to take a bath." This time during the confinement period, she ate much better than the last time, and naturally recovered faster.

Because my cousin's wife is also pregnant, Lin Yan couldn't help sharing with her. They are all young wives, and they are controlled by their mothers-in-law when they give birth for the first time. Of course, the mothers-in-law must be doing it for their own good and passing on their own experience to them. But now that you have the conditions, you can treat yourself better. Anyway, my cousin and his wife's family can afford such expenses.

Lin Yan would definitely not say this to Xiao Xie and others who don't have the conditions now.

My cousin's wife nodded, "It would be great if it could be like this. The conditions of that hotel are quite good!"

If possible, she will do the same next year. It's really uncomfortable to not wash your hair or take a shower for 40 days.

Lin Yan said, "Of course it's good. It's a place dedicated to receiving foreign guests. If it weren't for Mingche's travel agency receiving foreign guests and having connections, we wouldn't be able to book a room at all. If you need it next year, ask the office to book it for you."

My cousin's wife thought about it. If it weren't for the brother-in-law who lived next door who had the ability to give them a letter of introduction as a Hong Kong businessman, she would only be able to sit in a hard seat for three days. Only then did she have a more intuitive feeling that Fang Mingche was doing well in the capital.

He even has a house and a car! The house is 8,500 and the car is 12,000. This adds up to more than 20,000! Not to mention that there are two scrap yards and a travel agency that are constantly making money.

Fang Mingfeng knew that Fang Mingche wanted to keep a low profile, so when he returned home, he didn't tell others how well he was doing. He didn't even say much to his parents and Fang Mingche's parents.

Today, when people with an income of 10,000 yuan are rare, his cousin earns at least 10,000 yuan a month! If people in his hometown knew about this, I don't know how many people would want to borrow money from him. Or they would want to run to the capital to seek refuge with him. They would want him to provide food and accommodation, and arrange a good job for them.

This is how it is in the countryside nowadays. When a child of the same clan becomes successful, they would want him to support their family. If they don't, they are not fulfilling their obligations as clan members. Fortunately, the country does not allow farmers to blindly flow into the city, and they don't know Mingche's situation.

Speaking of which, the village now has a household contract responsibility system, and everyone earns enough to pay the public grain, and then all the grain goes into their own warehouses. Everyone works hard and extra hard. He was a little surprised when he went back, it turned out that the production efficiency could be so high! Moreover, everyone voluntarily extended the working hours, getting up early and working three days a week!

In this way, there is actually some surplus labor in the village. Now the secretary is planning to build a rice processing plant. For the time being, they plan to start the work with the old equipment they bought, and buy new equipment when they have money in the future. After he went back, the secretary asked him to raise funds. He also asked him to tell Mingche when he arrived in the capital. When he made money, he could share the dividends.

Many people in the village were very happy. If this is done, they can go to work without leaving the village. This is what workers are! The secretary said that if the benefits are good, the benefits should be comparable to those of factories in the city.

Fang Mingfeng knew that his wife was tight-lipped, and she was about to go to the capital. So, he simply talked to her on the train. But my cousin's wife just listened before and didn't feel it deeply. Now she talked to Lin Yan about her going to the hotel to receive foreign guests tomorrow and booking a room to wash her hair and take a bath, and that feeling came up all of a sudden. At

this moment, Fang Tong came to pick her up, and my cousin's wife naturally went out to talk to her daughter. The little person who had been following her all the time, she hadn't seen him for three or four months, and they only talked on the phone once a week. She must have missed him a lot now!

The mother and daughter sat and talked under the shade of the tree, and Fang Mingfeng sat beside them, feeling a little depressed.

He forgot about the gasoline! The main reason was that when he drove before, the boss must have paid for the gasoline . Behind the boss was a big boss!

Therefore, he was very successful in a small place. The video hall is now open, and the capital is more than 10,000, which can be earned back in less than a year. This business is expected to be prosperous for many years. As long as he can get new videotapes from Hong Kong through his connections.

But when he arrived in the capital, he was a little bit constrained. He could get 12,000 to buy a second-hand car. Anyway, it would be convenient for his own use and he could also deliver goods. But buying gasoline stumped him!

Buying gasoline requires a long-term supply of gasoline tickets. It's not like affiliation, which only troubles people once.

Fang Mingche hosted dinner, and it was still at Boss Cui's place, which was very sumptuous. After eating, the family of three sat for a while and then said goodbye. No matter how good other people's homes are, it's still more comfortable to go back to your own place.

Fang Mingche drove them home again. My cousin's wife's luggage was put in the trunk and never taken out, and Fang Tong's luggage was packed just before dinner.

Fang Mingche saw that his cousin was not in a good mood. He was silent than usual during dinner and now sitting in the passenger seat. After thinking about it, he understood the reason.

When they arrived at the place, he got out of the car and went in. My cousin also said that he had something to tell him.

Fang Tong led his mother in, and Fang Mingfeng smoked and chatted with him in the field. Fang

Mingfeng first said what the secretary said, "It is said that the village is still short of funds, and now we are investing and will share dividends in the future."

Fang Mingche raised his eyebrows. He remembered that the township enterprises emerged suddenly around 1984. However, they had emerged suddenly at that

time, so they must have been developing before. The land was distributed earlier in this life than in the previous life. This was the butterfly effect caused by him going back and saying that Xiaogang Village could eat for five years after working for one year. Therefore, it is not surprising that the Party branch secretary wanted to set up township enterprises one or two years in advance after seeing the improvement in production efficiency.

There should be no concept of "township enterprises" at that time, but this is actually the case.

As for rice processing, the business will definitely be hot after the autumn harvest. In addition, some people will save rice and process it when needed. This place does business in the surrounding villages and towns, so there should be a lot of customers.

"How much money does the secretary say you are short of?"

The key is that the machinery and equipment are expensive. As for the venue, there is no shortage of it in the countryside, and there is no shortage of manpower. But to buy machinery and equipment, you need people who can use it.

Fang Mingfeng said: "He will definitely say the more the better! I gave him your phone number and asked him to call your office on Sunday. You can listen to him talk to you."

"Okay!" If the machinery and equipment can be used well, Fang Mingche thinks he can invest some money. Not only can he support the construction of his hometown, but he can also get dividends in the future. Township enterprises can also be prosperous in the 1980s.

Fang Mingche took a few puffs of cigarettes and said again: "Brother Mingfeng, Guangzhou is actually the most friendly to business people now. If you have money, you can enjoy all kinds of special treatment. But in the capital, it will take a few years. This is the so-called reform. Let's start with the pilot project in the coastal areas."

The supply system will gradually be abolished. Grain coupons were invalidated in 1983, and other bills were similar.

Only people in Lao Wang's circle could enjoy special treatment in the capital. He was lucky. The gasoline used in his pickup truck was actually saved from the gasoline coupons of commercial vehicles. Lao Wang didn't help him get gasoline coupons. Otherwise, it wouldn't be a problem for him to share some with his cousin.

Fang Mingfeng said, "Well, how do you think the special economic zone established half a month ago will develop in the future?"

"Just do everything possible to attract investment, and all policies will be tilted and special. This is indeed worthy of our attention."

Fang Mingche also felt that the time point when he was reborn was really great! If he was reborn as a child and experienced those ten years again, he would collapse.

Fang Mingfeng said, "I think that when the time comes, we will attract foreign businessmen, overseas Chinese, and Hong Kong businessmen to come and set up factories, and we will need a lot of people to work. Will this solve the problem of so many people who can't find jobs now?"

The small factories in the village can still provide limited employment. But if a large number of factories can be built along the coast, the impact will be greater. Moreover, since it is a special economic zone, there will be no restrictions on the influx of farmers. Otherwise, where will the labor force come from?

But I heard that if you want to go to the Shenzhen Special Economic Zone, you have to apply for a border pass there.

"This is one way, and it is an open way. Another way should be what I said, that the state releases the resources it controls and allows the private sector to participate in the management. This is reform! For example, if gasoline is released and can be bought at will without relying on supply, more people will be able to drive taxis. Well, there are a lot more tricycles at the train station today than last year. This does not require gasoline, but only labor. Therefore, there is market demand for this."

Fang Mingfeng thought for a while, "It seems that we have caught up with a good time."

"Of course! In the past, we had the ability but had no way to display it. It's not that the country didn't want to reform and open up at that time. But the United States and the Soviet Union both blockaded us! I heard that an armistice agreement was signed on the Korean battlefield, and the Chairman and the Prime Minister wanted to carry out reform and opening up. The First Five-Year Plan proved that our production capacity is still good. But the United States directly blockaded and embargoed us. We had no choice but to hold the Canton Fair in Guangzhou. Others were restricted and forced to rely on internal circulation. Well, we have established a firm foothold in this capital, and we will go to the southern special economic zones to see if there is anything we can do first. As for now, just work hard to save money!"

Fang Mingfeng wanted to nod, but then remembered the trouble of driving all the way from Sichuan to Guangzhou.

He frowned and said, "It will be very difficult to go to the south safely if the public security problem is not solved. Even when I take the train, I am always worried. I am afraid that the window will be opened from the outside and someone will get in. Otherwise, shipping a lot of goods from Guangzhou to Sichuan and the capital for sale will be very profitable!"

Fang Mingche blew out a smoke ring, "So, in order to escort the reform and opening up, the country will definitely hit the public security problem hard! Wait, let's be patient. There are many things to be done, and we have to start step by step. I have already felt the atmosphere before the prosperity is about to come."

Reform and opening up really created a prosperity of more than 40 years!

Fang Mingfeng felt much better after being comforted by him. If the country really gradually releases the various resources under control, then it is time for everyone to get from the big pot to their own bowls.

He will first do the business of video halls and scrap yards to accumulate money. Although he can't catch up with his cousin now, his net income is more than 5,000 per month. Not as good as the best, but more than enough for the worst. It's not shameful for him to be unable to match his cousin's brain that can be admitted to Beijing

Normal University. "Okay, I'm leaving. You guys have a good rest for two days. We were planning to take Tongtong and Yanyan to Beihai Park for boating tomorrow. I see my sister-in-law is here, and she may not want to go either."

Tomorrow is Children's Day, so he must have some plans for the two children. But Fang Tong definitely doesn't want to be separated from her mother now. And my cousin's sister-in-law is a pregnant woman. She must have rested at home tomorrow after sitting on the train for three days and three nights. It's impossible for her to go out to play with her daughter.

Anyway, it's summer vacation, so it's convenient to go to Beihai Park for boating. Fang

Mingfeng said, "I think so too. You don't have to worry about her."

Fang Mingfeng patted his cousin's shoulder and thanked him for taking care of Fang Tong for the past ten days. Anyway, if there is something wrong with his cousin's family in the future, he will never be vague.

Fang Mingche smiled, threw away the cigarette butt and went out to drive.

He went back to the small side yard and took a shower. Just as he was about to hug his little son, Gao Xiang came over.

"I just paid 9,000 yuan for the car rental fee for the second half of the year. Are you in a hurry to pay all the money back to Lao Zhou next month?"

He spent all the money in the account on buying a car in March. He earned 30,000 yuan in April and May, and now he has to take out 17,000 yuan . He really can't keep the money in the account!

"Isn't the 30,000 yuan loan coming in mid-June?"

Gao Xiang said, "In addition to giving the 30,000 yuan to Wu Mingju to Tokyo, we also have to prepare one for Qiu Yin to take to London. Don't think that there is so much money in the account! You have an idea from time to time. Don't forget that before November, we still have to buy two commercial vehicles ourselves. That's 90,000 yuan! Qiu Yin originally planned to go to Paris or London in December. Now it may be earlier. We are still in a stage of being stretched."

As a financial manager, he has the obligation to remind him. In order to prevent the boss from getting too excited and getting carried away!

Fang Mingche spread his hands, "But I don't want to exchange more US dollars for Lao Zhou, and it's not good to keep borrowing so much money from him."

Everyone has a profit relationship with Boss Cui, and borrowing money from him doesn't owe him a favor. But the situation is different with Lao Zhou.

Gao Xiang snorted, "Then he is still taking advantage of our high interest rates. We don't have much US dollars to begin with, so exchanging 450 for him is the most we can do. I can exchange it on the black market and get more. Moreover, judging from the trend, the exchange rate is going to go up. It's not cost-effective for us to exchange it to him now. If he is still dissatisfied, then it is better to pay him back. Should we prepare to pull the line ourselves if the phone is fast?"

He said that he would exchange it back after Yingzi went abroad. How Yingzi will develop after going abroad is still a question mark. Even if she can make money, she will obediently send 80% of her salary back every month? The sky is high and the emperor is far away, and it will be Lao Zhou who asks Yingzi to get him out in the future. It would be strange if Yingzi is so stupid.

Even Lingzi obediently handed over 80% of her income before because she said at the beginning that she would go to the United States by herself. That was to save money for herself!

So Gao Xiang thought that it would be better not to count on the US dollars sent back by Yingzi for the time being.

Fang Mingche smiled, "Yeah. That day Gu Zhiguang wanted to take a leave, and there was no phone nearby to make a call. The people around here lost convenience because of this, and they all have complaints about us and the Zhou family."

Few people will be grateful when you bring them convenience, because they feel that they have paid for it. But if they are not allowed to enjoy this convenience, they will definitely be unhappy even if they don't say it. Of course, he didn't want to pull a telephone line as soon as possible for this reason. He paid the rent, rented it from Zhou, and didn't care about what others complained about.

As their travel agency, they must have their own phone. After many years, the cost of pulling a telephone line will not go down. The rent of 1,500 a year is really not as good as pulling one by yourself. At the beginning, it was because of lack of money, and it was troublesome to go through the procedures. But now, isn't it getting more and more comfortable?

In addition, Fang Mingche has also felt that Lingzi is slowly awakening. She is not very willing to hand over 80% of her monthly income to the family.

It was said before that the money would be collected and used for her to settle down in the United States in the future. After Yingzi is sent out to stand on her own feet, she probably won't be so foolish as to hand over so much. In this regard, Lao Zhou was indeed a bit too much! How could he only leave a dozen dollars a month for a child?

Fang Mingche didn't want to get involved in their father-daughter affair. So he paid Lao Zhou's money back early and returned the phone.

He didn't want to exchange the US dollars this time, but he couldn't owe favors. When someone asks you to pay, you have to pay. And you can't pay

it back in your own way. So it's better to pay off the debt. After paying it back, except for the bank loan, I only owe Boss Cui 5,000. You don't have to owe favors for bank loans!

Gao Xiang frowned. He still had to prepare five or six thousand for laying telephone lines. Fortunately, the telephone lines at the Overseas Chinese Apartment were very convenient. Many people living there have private phones. Overseas Chinese, after paying out foreign currency, must enjoy some special treatment.

"Then should we go through Wang Dexian's company to get the telephone line?"

"Yes, this is the time to show Lao Wang's value. Otherwise, what's the point of giving him 1,500 a month?"

Gao Xiang smiled. Wang Dexian can get one twelfth of the dividend, which is 1,500 per month. Tsk, 50 a day! It's time to do some work. But Wang Dexian would definitely say that he didn't see a penny, at most he enjoyed the rent of a house paid by the travel agency first.

But although there is no dividend, the money is actually earned. 50 a day, it's really enviable!

Fang Mingche patted his shoulder, "Don't worry, when you become bigger in the future, you will be the financial director, and you will definitely get a few points of dividends."

Gao Xiang rolled his eyes at him, in the future, in the future, he always makes big promises. However, he is actually quite confident. A foreign travel agency is definitely a business with the right direction.

That is, "When the state-owned enterprise resumes normal operation, we can't let the meat fly away."

"Well, otherwise why are we in a hurry to let Wu Mingju and Qiu Yin go out? They will gradually become well-known abroad and introduce tourists to us directly. At that time, it would be best to sign the contract and pay the deposit directly abroad. As for us in China, we will try our best to buy more cars and recruit more people. Try to take on more tourists! If you practice both external and internal skills, it will not be so easy to defeat."

So what if it is state-owned, don't be afraid! Small workshops can also be grown slowly.

Gao Xiang said: "Then the office may not be enough!"

Fang Mingche nodded. Now it is already full, and it will definitely be crowded if it expands in the future. Therefore, he still has the courtyard house in mind. If you want to get it all at once, then it is the kind with two or three entrances. At the beginning, it is estimated that you can only rent it!

Tsk, he can now have a net income of nearly 200,000 yuan a year, but he still can't afford a larger courtyard house.

That night, Yanyan climbed onto her father's bed with a pillow again. She just doesn't like to sleep alone. It's dark!

Fang Mingche said, "When your mother finishes her confinement this month, your father will move to the east room of the main house. Your brother will also have to stay there. Don't you have to learn to adapt to sleeping alone?"

"Grandma."

"Grandma will take your brother out for 100 days at most, and she will definitely go home. Grandma still has to take care of your grandpa."

Ah Yan is going to go back to school at the beginning of next year. What should I do about taking care of the children? I can't let my father-in-law and mother-in-law live separately for a long time. If my father-in-law retires, it's fine, just let him come with us. But the old man obviously doesn't want to retire early, it's also a career he has pursued all his life.

By the way, my father-in-law broke his leg in his previous life and it's not long before he died! He has to worry about this.

Otherwise, not to mention that my father-in-law broke his leg, it will be very inconvenient and difficult for him to live in the second half of his life. Even here, for the time being, he still needs his mother-in-law to take care of the mother and the newborn.

If it's really like he guessed, this matter in the previous life was related to Han Mei. Then this matter shouldn't happen in this life.

Tomorrow, June 1st, Han Mei will officially go to the travel agency to do odd jobs. The first month's salary is 24 yuan, including two meals. In fact, it was not worse than her selling eggs at the beginning.

Well, when the National Day comes, he will ask Aunt Yuan to help keep an eye on it, and also ask an unemployed older sister to come home to take care of Changchang. Just go out early and come back late, and wait for them to come back from school. No one should accuse him of hiring and exploiting. So many people are short of jobs nowadays.

Aunt Yuan is well-known, and the people she introduces should be good in work and character.

Yanyan still insisted on staying in the big bed to sleep, and the father and daughter slept in love. Until, Liu Qingfeng shouted loudly outside, "What are you doing? Catch a thief——"

The voice was so close, as if it was just outside the window. Fang Mingche jumped off the bed at once and picked up the wooden stick placed beside the bed to support the window.

He picked up Yanyan, who was also awakened, with one hand. Fortunately, he had practiced his hand strength when he carried the teapot before! In this situation, he definitely wouldn't dare to leave the child alone in the house. What if he went out and someone came back?

Fang Mingche held a wooden stick in his other hand and hurried out to see if Ayan and his mother-in-law in the main house were okay.

When he came out and looked, he was stunned!

Liu Qingfeng and another neighbor in the slum were fighting with two masked men. His wheels were shining brightly under the moon.

Fang Mingche didn't react at first. It wasn't until he saw two wheels lying on the ground, one far and one near, that he realized that the bright thing was the axle left after the wheels were taken off.

Looking closely again, not just two, but all four wheels were gone. There were still two on the ground, and two more? Fang Mingche cursed and looked at the wall. The other two wheels must have been handed over by someone!

Fang Mingche was furious, but he was still holding the sleepy Yanyan in his arms. Moreover, the light in the east room also turned on with a click. Ayan and his mother-in-law must be hiding behind the window and watching in fear.

Besides, his youngest son was so scared that he started to cry.

Ah Yan was still in confinement after childbirth! How could he sleep so soundly that he didn't even notice someone sneaking in and taking off his tire? He bought four thick iron chains at a high price to lock the wheels, and locked all four of them. But those people took away the wheels.

It has been more than ten days since Zhu Wenjuan was frightened by the burglars. During these ten days, the compound has been organizing young and strong people to stand guard at night. But when nothing happened, everyone gradually relaxed.

Fortunately, after hearing what Liu Qingfeng said, all the young and strong people in the compound also got up.

Gu Zhiguang was the first to run over with a stick, and he went straight to chase the person who was running outside the courtyard wall holding the tire. Zhu Dahai and Hu Yong also went. This wheel is precious, and it must be the original one!

Fang Mingche handed the person to Gao Xiang who ran over one step later, "Hold it for me! Damn it——" He immediately took the stick and joined the ranks of catching thieves. The stick was fierce and he was not polite at all. No matter who he is, beat him up first!

All this actually happened in a flash!

Fortunately, the people in the slum were united and were determined to catch the thief. As soon as there was any movement, half of the young and strong rushed out. The other half naturally had to stay in the slum to guard against luring the tiger away from the mountain. If they left again, the rest would be the elderly, the weak, women and children.

Lin Yan in the house saw that many people had come, and she let out a breath.

Mother Lin also breathed a sigh of relief, holding her grandson and walking around the house to coax him. What a bunch of bastards, they scared her good grandson. They must calm down.

When the police arrived, the two thieves who were caught had been beaten so hard that they kept begging for mercy.

Yanyan woke up in Uncle Gao's arms, and she also looked at the wheels of her own house in a daze. Then she looked towards the east room again, and her brother was not crying.

Fang Mingche was so furious that he kicked the thief twice before he stopped even when the police arrived.

The police who came were the lead ones. They were invited to have dinner at Qin Mu's Cantonese restaurant on May Day. They didn't say a word when they saw this scene.

"What fell off?"

Fang Mingche said, "Three wheels fell off. Oh no, two wheels. The key is that there is a woman in my family who is in confinement after giving birth, and the child was also frightened. A few days ago, a pregnant woman in our compound was also frightened when she got up at night."

There was a wheel. When the other party was escaping, he saw that he was about to be caught by Gu Zhiguang and Hu Yong, so he pushed the wheel over to stop them. However, the other two were still taken away. One of them was the spare tire, which was usually fixed at the back of the car. It should have been taken away before.

Fang Mingche said and looked at Yanyan. The little girl was fine. She was quite calm!

The police said, "Then you take care of the family first, and come to the police station tomorrow during the day. Who chased him out just now?"

Gu Zhiguang raised his hand, "It was me, and the pregnant woman who was scared before was my wife."

"Oh, Teacher Gu. You take Xiao Ma to have a look. And the person who discovered the thief should also come to explain the situation." This intellectual was angry and was going to be ruthless.

Fang Mingche asked the two people who first discovered the thief, "You are not injured, right? If you are injured, go check it out immediately."

He saw that the person who stole the wheel brought tools and swung them directly during the fight.

Liu Qingfeng said, "My arm was hit by a large wrench, and it hurts a little now."

He and his partner patrolled around the odd jobs yard, and then sat there to chat. He must be more concerned about the small side yard next door than others, so he looked through the crack of the half-moon door. He saw someone taking off the wheels of their scrap yard pickup truck.

It was not his shift tonight, but someone had diarrhea and asked him to take over temporarily.

Fang Mingche said to the police, "Two night watchmen found the thief. Let's take Liu Qingfeng to a nearby hospital first."

"Okay, just one person will explain the situation."

The police said and took the other night watchman back. As for the two thieves, they also have to be taken to the hospital. Don't let them get hurt! Then we can talk about the interrogation. When

they went out, they met Gu Zhiguang and another policeman coming back, and they went to the police station together.

Fang Mingche took out a few bills and didn't count them himself. He handed them to Gao Xiang and said, "Take Liu Qingfeng to see. Qingfeng, thanks to you today. I will take responsibility for anything."

Gao Xiang took the money and nodded. Liu Qingfeng said, "Teacher Fang, you're welcome. I can't ignore it for both public and private reasons."

Without the wheels, it would be delayed for at least a while. They would have to ride the tricycle to deliver the goods again.

Fang Mingche took a look at the wheels. The third one had been taken down, and more than half of it had been taken down. He could only take the recovered wheels into the house and put them there. He simply took down the more than half of it manually and put it in the house as well.

He had dealt with what needed to be dealt with, and thanked the neighbors who came over. When everyone left, Fang Mingche took Yanyan to the east room.

Seeing that his plump little son had fallen asleep again, he said, "Mom, will Changchang be okay?"

Mother Lin patted her little grandson and said, "You have to calm down, otherwise you won't sleep well for a long time."

Fang Mingche only blamed himself for not being ruthless enough just now. He should have prepared sharper weapons to make those two guys bleed.

"How did I fall asleep?"

Lin Yan said, "We didn't notice it either. It's all thanks to Liu Qingfeng. Is his arm okay?"

"It shouldn't be a big deal. He was fighting hard before. It was only after the fight was over that he remembered that his arm hurt." At least it wasn't broken. It should be a flesh wound.

"That's not bad."

Lin's mother looked at Fang Mingche, "No matter how low-key you are, this person with a house and a car will still be noticed."

Lin Yan said, "Mom, there's nothing we can do about it. Look at the 80-cent vase that Grandpa Gu bought, and it was stolen as an antique vase."

Fang Mingche frowned. He had to buy or rent a house with a higher safety factor. If he could rent a large courtyard as an office, he would move his family directly to the Overseas Chinese Apartment. The rent is 2,000 a year, but the security guard is much more reliable.

Lin Yan asked Yanyan again, "Are you not scared?"

"Dad is here." Yanyan said. As long as her dad is there, she feels safe.

Lin Yan said, "That's good! If you were also scared, it would be even more troublesome."

The next morning, after breakfast, Lin's mother wrapped up her grandson and took him to see the old Chinese doctor. Fang Mingche asked Master He to take them there.

Yanyan's Children's Day was naturally ruined. Originally, her grandmother was supposed to accompany her and sister Tongtong to go boating. She stayed with her mother obediently in the east room.

Fang Mingche said, "Okay, you two can keep each other company. I'll go to the police station."

Liu Qingfeng went to take a film last night, and the results should be out later. He also had to inquire about this matter.

"Okay, go and get busy."

Fang Mingche went out and asked Qiu Yin, who was going to work, to call him and ask for leave. Qiu Yin lived in the alley, and she must have known about the thief last night. She and Ning Anan also came out with flashlights and followed the male comrades in the same compound to check the situation.

"Okay, I'll call and ask for leave for you when I get to the office. Fortunately, the business car didn't park in the alley."

The business car was moved away at night, and it came back early in the morning to pick up people who lived nearby. Others, such as Han Mei, also came here to meet and take the car together.

At this moment, she was parking her bicycle, and then she heard about what happened yesterday.

Han Mei said in shock: "Brother-in-law, it's not a big deal, right?"

"Two wheels fell off, and Liu Qingfeng's arm was injured. The key is that Changchang slept well last night and was scared. Fortunately, Mom and Lin Yan coaxed him again and again and coaxed him to sleep. I heard that he woke up again in the middle of the night."

Fortunately, his son's physique is still good. If it was a weaker baby, something serious might have happened.

This is what Fang Mingche hated the most. Compared with stealing wheels, it was nothing. He had to beat the other people before the police.

Otherwise, it would be just attempted theft and the sentence would not be too serious.

Han Mei also cursed angrily a few words, and then went to work.

When Fang Mingche went to the police station, he gave a supplementary explanation of yesterday's situation. The police also informed him of the relevant progress.

After Fang Mingche came back, he first asked about Liu Qingfeng's arm. Fortunately, it was indeed a flesh wound. Next, he will definitely be responsible for the cost of soup and medicine and nutrition. As for the loss of work, his salary and bonus will be paid as usual.

Then he asked Lin's mother, who had returned, what the old Chinese doctor said.

"He definitely can't drink the soup and medicine directly. But the old Chinese doctor said that it's okay for A Yan to drink it. Let him get some indirect effects from breast milk. The key is that he can't be left alone for 24 hours. If the child wakes up, he must be comforted immediately. The old Chinese doctor said that if possible, let the child and the adult be close to each other." Fang

Mingche nodded. No wonder A Yan took off her shirt and held the child and lay down, letting the child lie directly on her. Then she wrapped the mother and child together with a towel blanket. And it seems that she should have just used a towel to wash hot water and wiped her body.

Going to Beijing Hotel to wash her hair and take a bath today must be cancelled. There is no need to refund the room. The hotel staff told Lingzi to arrange it for other guests, since the supply was insufficient to meet the demand.

Lin Yan's face fell, and even Yan Yan's face was a little tense. She couldn't care less about being jealous of her brother at this moment.

Lin's mother said, "Okay, I'll go make the medicine first."

Fang Mingche rode his bicycle to find Gu Zhiguang who was off work at noon. Last night, apart from the night watchman and Fang Mingche himself, Gu Zhiguang ran the fastest. His thoughts should be the same as mine. This kind of thing, even the Buddha would be angry!

Sure enough, when Fang Mingche explained the situation, Gu Zhiguang immediately agreed.

"This is the scene I drew of where we chased the embarrassment last night. The alleys are connected in all directions, so it's a bit troublesome to find it. However, it's not easy to get rid of the two wheels now that they have stolen them. It's not easy to hide two such big guys."

Fang Mingche said, "It wasn't Liu Qingfeng's shift last night, but someone asked him to change shifts temporarily."

If it were someone else, they might not pay so much attention to the situation in his small side yard. Just listening to no movement, they might not be too lazy to walk to the Half Moon Gate to take a look. After more than ten days of peace and quiet, everyone had relaxed.

Those guys were very skilled. They put down a few wheels without making any noise. It's true that everyone has their own specialty!

Gu Zhiguang said, "Do you suspect that the other party knew our night shift, but didn't know that they had temporarily switched?"

If the two of them switched, they would definitely not make it public. This means that they are not too far away!

Fang Mingche said, "I suspect that they are the ones who repaired the car. Otherwise, it would be difficult to have no noise at all."

Gu Zhiguang thought about it. The alley hadn't changed much. He remembered it clearly. But he hadn't been in that area for many years, so he wasn't sure who lived there. But if there was a car repairman in that area, it would be suspicious.

"Okay, let's check in this direction. Then you go to the police station. Did those two people confess anything last night?"

"No, they refused to say anything. And we were a bit heavy-handed. Both of them were hospitalized."

Gu Zhiguang had asked about Fang Chang when they met. He knew that the child was frightened and had to comfort him slowly. He frowned and said, "They might as well have said they wanted my vase and your wheel."

Fang Mingche said, "They came for our two families. They are very familiar with the situation in the compound."

He now regretted bringing the pickup truck home. He should have put it directly at the scrap yard.

"Of course! Hey, the person who came to your house last time and tried to steal something was killed. Aunt Yuan said that it wasn't him who stole the vase from my house last time."

"Yes, it wasn't him! I saw him come with other people last night. And he has a decent income now, so he won't do such a thing again. But this time he scared my son. Not to mention Aunt Yuan asking me to let him go, no one can say that."

The loss of property is a small matter. The key is that his son was scared.

Gu Zhiguang said, "It's really impossible for ordinary people to be so skilled in unloading wheels. Let's go and find someone if we want!"

He didn't have classes in the afternoon, so he could just ask someone he knew to help with the library matter.
