Chapter 180 A Newcomer

Everyone got in the car and went back. After the National Day, it was slowly getting cold again. The winter clothes Yanyan bought last year can still be worn this year. But next year, she will have to buy a new one.

But it’s okay, there are Kang Kang and Chang Chang downstairs. As long as it’s not a small skirt, you can pick it up and wear it. It’s just that Kang Kang feels a little inconvenient when he wears a small size, but Chang Chang is fine.

Yan said that it can actually be altered. Cut a slit in the front, and then use the same strip of cloth to lock the edges on both sides.

For lunch, we didn’t have lunch at Boss Cui’s place, nor at the small side courtyard. We had lunch at the home of Wang Dexian’s mother and stepfather, and Wang Dexian’s mother cooked it herself.

She said that she wanted to treat Fang Mingche’s family well, and going to Cui’s house for a meal would not show her sincerity. She also said that Lin Yan’s meals could be prepared, so she didn’t have to go home to cook for herself.

At this point, Fang Mingche’s family of four naturally came in.

Fang Chang was four and a half months old, and he couldn’t sit steadily, so he still sat on his mother’s lap. Yanyan sat on the other side of her father.

Wang Dexian's mother was naturally envious of Fang Mingche for having both a son and a daughter. But her daughter-in-law was too high-born, and she herself had the shortcoming of running away when her husband's family was in trouble, so her tongue was three inches shorter.

Moreover, late marriage and late childbearing are still the mainstream thought and politically correct. She didn't dare to talk too much.

Wang Dexian's mother's cooking skills are quite good. Especially the side dishes, Fang Mingche felt that they were very delicious.

Today is National Day, and everyone has a holiday. And they bought three new cars, so he and Wang Dexian drank more freely. There is no need to worry about being drunk and difficult to settle.

Yangmei usually takes care of Wang Dexian, and she didn't say anything today. It is indeed a big happy event, and it's not like he is facing those people in the officialdom, so it's okay to drink more. Even if he speaks the truth after drinking?

Wang Dexian's mother and Qin Hua are busy. She is not good at housework, so she talks with Lin Yan and Yanyan and teases Changchang.

Fang Chang is still at the stage where he has to wear a bib and drools from time to time, but laughs when he is teased.

Lin Yan and Aunt Yangmei talked about Yanyan's dietary taboos, and she wanted to hear the doctor's advice.

Yangmei said: "Some dancers' diets are simply inhumane. If Yanyan doesn't want to be a professional dancer, there is no need to be too harsh on herself. Just pay a little attention!"

Wang Dexian's mother also has a say in this, "Yes, if you don't want to be a professional dancer, just get by. It's too hard! Also, don't dance ballet, your toes will be deformed."

After she left the military region, she didn't pay so much attention to her diet, and she gradually gained weight. In the past, I really didn't have enough to eat. It's not because I didn't have enough to eat in that era, it's really because as a dancer and as the daughter-in-law of a high-ranking official, I didn't dare to get fat!

Now she and Lao Qin have also gone through the years of middle-aged couples and become old companions. There are not so many taboos!

Lin Yan nodded, "Well, it's mainly to cultivate her posture and body shape."

Wang Dexian's mother looked at Yanyan, "Yanyan is taller than children of the same age. In fact, she should not be suitable to be a professional dancer."

Professional dancers should not be short, but not too tall. She estimated that Yanyan should be able to reach 170+ in the future. After all, her father is 180, and her mother should be 165.

Fang Mingche raised his eyebrows, is that so, she was only 168 in her previous life. Could it be because the nutrition in the previous life was not as sufficient as this life?

The Qin family's house is not bad, with three rooms. After all, Wang Dexian's stepfather Qin Zhao is the director of the workshop. This way, guests will not be too cramped.

People who drink will definitely leave the table later than those who eat. Changchang sat for a while and leaned against his mother to take a nap. Lin Yan had to say goodbye after eating and took him back to sleep.

Yanyan stayed and played with Qin Hua. The two went into the little girl's room.

Yangmei finished eating and went into Wang Dexian's old room. This room is still preserved today. If she hadn't had a private space, she would have been even less willing to come.

As for the old couple of the Qin family, they also left the table. When Qin Zhao left the table, he said, "Dexian, I can't hold my liquor. You accompany Xiaofang and drink slowly."

"Okay, Uncle Qin."

They all left, and Wang Dexian and Fang Mingche were the only ones left at the table. Wang Dexian put his arm on Fang Mingche's shoulder and said drunkenly, "Xiaofang, you are my benefactor!"

Fang Mingche hurriedly said, "You are also my benefactor! We are mutually accomplished."

If it weren't for Wang Dexian, he would have to try to get in touch with the Zheng family behind Zheng Xing. Otherwise, he would have to give up running a travel agency. But he and Zheng Xing were just college roommates. It's not like he and Lao Wang, who met when they were young!

Moreover, reform and opening up, economic leadership, not to mention foreign exchange-earning enterprises; this is different from the literati, farmers, merchants, and businessmen, and the business is the last. So, he and Lao Wang can barely be considered equals.

The two of them clinked glasses and said, "I wish us to go further!"

As October entered, the autumn chill began. Yanyan could only mutter, "You're going to be wrapped up like a ball again." But Changchang really couldn't move because he was wearing too many clothes.

So after taking off his thick clothes at night, he would move around as much as he could. It was as if he wanted to make up for the amount of activity he had done that day.

"Okay, okay, don't turn over! Your vest will sweat later." Lin Yan stopped her son from turning over on the big bed, but the little guy was still very unhappy.

He just likes to turn over on the big bed. The small bed is a little small because it is surrounded by walls.

Lin Yan picked up her son, coaxed him to sleep and put him back on the small bed. She went to the connected east wing to check on her daughter's sleeping posture, covered her with a quilt and came back.

After she came back, she asked Fang Mingche, who was leaning against the head of the bed reading a book, "What should we do with the dividends we get tomorrow?"

At the end of last month, she had already paid back the 2,000 yuan from Uncle Cha Gu, including the principal and interest. It is meaningless to pretend to be poor for only one or two thousand yuan now.

"Buy some seasonal clothes, and keep the rest for future use."

Lin Yan said, "We already have more than 15,000 in our personal accounts. With these two thousand, we're not far from 20,000."

This is mainly the money from the two scrap yards. Since I bought the car in April, I haven't used it much. I just paid back more than 2,000 from Grandpa Gu.

Fang Mingche said, "You can save money by not buying big items."

Although it's far from a scrap yard earning a million a year in the future, it's pretty good now.

Lin Yan said, "How about getting the two thousand tomorrow and buying two small houses in Tuanjiehu Community?"

"A house in Tuanjiehu Community can be bought if you have money. It's not a scarce resource."

Before 1998, the price of ordinary houses did not increase much. At most, it increased with inflation.

"Let's save it. I asked Wang Dexian to help keep an eye on the courtyard houses. Don't buy houses anymore and can't afford them. We can't mortgage all the cars or take out loans."

Besides, we can only lend them out, which is troublesome to do accounting.

The two scrap yards can still make a net profit of 40,000 yuan a year. If we save for another year, plus the dividends from the travel agency, it may be enough to buy a courtyard house.

Lin Yan said, "The travel agency still owes 35,000 yuan. Aren't you in a hurry to pay it back?"

"I'll pay Lao Cui back 5,000 before New Year's Day. The bank loan is for one year. I'll pay it back when it expires in May next year."

The interest rate of the bank is lower, so it's not too late to pay it back when it expires. Well, the business is running normally, and I shouldn't have to borrow money from private individuals in the future. If I borrow it, I will pay a high interest, but I still have to owe someone a favor.

"After we buy a Siheyuan, will we move there?"

Fang Mingche shook his head. "If we buy a Siheyuan, if it is well preserved, we will let the office people move there. Nowadays, there are more and more people and it is getting more and more crowded. It's okay if they go out to lead a tour, but if they are all in the office, it will be very cramped. If they need to clean up, then we will clean up and let them move there. Our family will move to the Overseas Chinese Apartment."

Lin Yan was also very interested in living in a building. After all, it was the best house built in the 1960s. Nowadays, apart from the Soviet-style villas of those senior cadres, the houses in the Overseas Chinese Apartment are the best. At least that's what Lin Yan thought. She had never thought that her family would live in the Overseas Chinese Apartment one day.

Just their family of four, living in a 240-square-meter house! Although it is rented, it is also very good.

Well, she just thought that the 20,000 yuan on the folding paper was a lot, but compared with the Siheyuan that was already rising and the houses in the Overseas Chinese Apartment that few people were willing to buy, it was nothing.

The price of the Siheyuan near Tiananmen Square is of course very high. A regular house with more than 200 square meters costs about 30,000 yuan. The price of the house in the Overseas Chinese Apartment is even higher, and the price of a 240-square-meter house is more than 40,000 yuan.

After all, there are still many siheyuans, and the Overseas Chinese Apartment is the only one in the community, and

it has an elevator. As for this small side courtyard, Mingche had said before that it would be vacated for his parents-in-law and his nephews and nieces who came to Beijing to study. She had no objection to this. The money in the family was mainly earned by Mingche, and she listened to him. Anyway,

they don’t have to live under the same roof with their parents-in-law! As for Han Ping and Mingcheng, if they want to continue living with their parents-in-law, it’s fine. Anyway, that room will probably be empty.

It’s not a wealthy family, so why should they still abide by the old rule that the elders and the younger generations are not equal? ​​There are so many siheyuans in this city that have been turned into a slum, how can they abide by so many rules?

Thinking of this, Lin Yan also began to think about the siheyuan that she hadn’t gotten yet. With the money she had on hand, plus the 60,000 yuan that could be mortgaged for two commercial vehicles, she had a lot of choices.

The next day, when the September salary and commission were distributed, Lin Yan, the cashier, showed up. She took Fang Chang directly to the office. Since they had a car at home, they could bring everything they needed. She

pushed the baby carriage directly into the elevator and held the child. When distributing money to people, she let Chang Chang stay in the baby carriage. The five-month-old baby could barely sit for a while.

She, the cashier, had been away from work for almost a year. If she didn't come to work again, she would almost have no sense of existence. However, the money distributed today was taken by Gao Xiang from the bank yesterday. She would go by herself next time!

Xiao Xie and the people who joined the company half a month before her all received internship wages of 24 yuan this time. This group of people were the first to be distributed, and they were not involved in the commission. This group of people came in together, signed to receive the money directly, and then left.

After that, it was the commission that was involved. The commission ratio was announced before, and the overseas sales were also announced. In this way, they calculated how much they could receive early. After checking that it was correct, they also signed to receive the money.

Gao Xiang had calculated how much should be distributed three times. Lin Yan also calculated it herself to make sure that no one had calculated too much or too little. Now they just paid according to the amount, and no one raised any objections!

The last person to receive the dividends was the one who received them. This time, 3,000 was taken out for dividends, and the amount received was relatively large. Seeing that Fang Chang had fallen asleep, Lin Yan asked Han Mei to keep an eye on it for her, and then drove to the bank to transfer the money. She had passed the driver's license test a few days ago.

She brought her own passbook with her. The Wang family's dividends could be transferred directly to Wang Dexian's account.

Han Mei took the work on hand to the small office to do it, while watching Fang Chang sleeping in the stroller next to her. She silently said in her heart: You kid, please don't do it! My

eldest sister-in-law said that babies of this age cannot be held to pee and poop, and can only be held in diapers, changed later, and washed. She must find it troublesome!

However, she now has a job at her sister and brother-in-law's house, and she has to take good care of her little nephew.

Alas, she also drove her eldest sister-in-law's small truck to deliver goods to the dock. But that was for official business. My elder sister-in-law used her bicycle in the office, but now she drives everywhere.

Forget it, we can't compare, we can't compare. If we compare, our mentality will be unbalanced. My brother-in-law is much better than Lin Yi!

If she wants to compare, she will compare with others. Compared with others, she is still pretty good.

For example, Qin Na from my aunt's family used to have a sense of superiority. Now, even in front of her, can she still be superior? Although Qin Na has a formal job, can she get a high salary of hundreds of yuan a month?

This is much higher than the income of my father-in-law, a level 5 fitter. Isn't the thing that my father-in-law is most proud of in his life that his salary level is higher than that of the workshop director?

After knowing how much he got, the old man was silent for a long time. Now I don't want his job to take over.

Speaking of Qin Na, Han Mei is a little funny. At the 100-day banquet for her nephew, she actually fell in love with her brother-in-law's roommate. He is a college student, how can he date you, a high school student?

Sure enough, after she said it hesitantly, her brother-in-law directly refused to help with the matchmaking.

"You really have good taste! Zheng Xing's father is at the deputy department level. His grandfather, forget it, I won't say anything about his grandfather. It's not a good match, it won't work out."

Even her aunt said that it will never work out, don't even think about it. But she turned around and asked about her brother-in-law's other classmates.

"They all said that they want to find at least a college student. Otherwise, Qin Na, you can also repeat your grade?"

Humph, it's important to know yourself! The grass is greener on the other side, are college students so desirable? Han Mei was thinking about it when she smelled the smell of reincarnation.

She looked at Fang Chang, who looked very happy, and said, "Little ancestor, why did you poop again?"

She could only stand up, take the special basin and towel brought by her elder sister-in-law, and then go to the bathroom to get hot water.

Lingzi looked outside and said, "Pooped?"

"Yeah."

"Go and get busy. I won't arrange anything for you for the time being."

Xiao Gang looked at Han Mei's back with relief. Fortunately, his cousin's wife was here. Otherwise, this would be his job. He lowered his head and continued to make phone calls to book rooms for the next group of tourists.

When Lin Yan came back after finishing her work, Fang Chang had been taken care of, and the diapers had been washed and hung up. Han Mei took care of two younger brothers when she was a child, so she could do all these tasks.

Lin Yan held the child and smiled, "Our Chang Chang has caused trouble for his aunt."

Han Mei said, "For children, eating, drinking, pooping and urinating are all natural reactions. And it's not smelly if it's breastfed. I mixed milk powder and fed it once, according to what you said, 100CC, and it was finished."

There are scales on the milk bottle, which is very convenient. As for the temperature of the water used to mix the milk powder, it is tested with the back of the hand. Lin Yan had explained it to her in detail before.

Five months old, it is time to start weaning. Lin Yan fed with milk powder except for the one at night.

Han Ping and Fang Mingcheng received their wages and commissions, and remitted 25 yuan each as planned.

When the money was remitted, the villagers were very concerned. There is no way, there is no such thing as personal privacy now. Moreover, parents are also happy to show off to the villagers.

Well, the money sent back is kept by the head of the family. In rural areas, it is not popular to divide the family, and they have to work together and distribute. So the money is taken by the old men of the two families, and then some is given to the daughters-in-law.

"Oh, this is 25 yuan sent back, how much salary does Mingche pay them?"

The latter question is what the villagers are more concerned about. If it is high, they can let their sons and daughters go too. They are all surnamed Fang, and they have the obligation to help.

Han Ping's father said, "I heard that it will be 36 yuan after becoming a regular employee."

36 yuan, it seems that it is not worth leaving home to seek refuge.

When the news reached Fang Mingche's house, Fang Minghua asked his son, "Didn't you say that the big bowl tea stall can make 10 to 20 yuan a day, why do you only open so little?"

After returning from the capital, this kid's attitude towards learning has changed a lot. He hasn't taken the midterm exam yet, but he passed the test at the end of last month in two subjects.

Fang Jian said, "Yes, he can make 10 to 20 yuan a day. I have been to the stall for so many days, how can I not know? Don't look at the cheap price, two cents a bowl. But the flow of customers is very large, and there is an endless stream. Tiananmen Square is very lively every day."

The flow of customers in Tiananmen is also much larger than last year. The spillover to Dashilan is also better than last year.

Fang Minghua said, "A stall earns 500 or 600 yuan, but only gives Han Ping 36 yuan. Will he agree to that?"

Fang's father said, "Whether he agrees or not has nothing to do with you. If Mingche hadn't gotten the business license from the Ministry of Culture, would Han Ping have been able to set up a stall in Dazhalan?"

"Then the second son makes too much money. Will this cause trouble and make people say he's being exploited?" He lowered his voice as he spoke.

No matter what, the second son is still very good to his children. He doesn't want anything to happen to him.

Fang's father said, "Forget it, forget it. You seem to care about your brother, so I'll tell you. Han Ping gets a commission! Don't tell anyone outside, including what Jianwa said about making 500 or 600 yuan a month. If the villagers find out, our family will be even more vulnerable."

Fang Minghua reacted quickly, "No, I definitely won't tell anyone. I haven't even gotten a piece of that money, so why should outsiders get a piece of that money? How much commission can he get?"

The basic salary is just over 30 yuan a month! If it weren't for the bumper harvest this year, the income was much better than before, and better than the thirty plus this month, he would have felt unbalanced. But with the commission, he might not be able to make it.

Fang's mother rolled her eyes at him, "Didn't your brother say that when the harvest in the fields is stable, he will let you go to the capital. He will think of a way for you! He will also take the five of us to go first. You just stay at home and rest assured."

Yuan Shufen on the side didn't say a word. She also felt that the second son would not treat their family badly. She took the words of taking her nephews and nieces to study seriously. If they go, they will have to rely on others for the high tuition fees. One child pays 200 yuan a school year, and three will be 600!

However, my father-in-law has not made a final decision whether to go or not. According to him, Jianwa's current grades don't need to go to the capital to study at a high price. We have to wait until Kang Kang goes to elementary school.

That's why Fang Fang said that whether she can go earlier depends on her brother.

The old man still can't leave this land. For the sake of his grandson's studies, he had to leave his hometown and live with his second son. This was his bottom line. But he had to make him feel that it was worth it! It was really unnecessary for Fang Jian to be the last one. His father also said that he had to wait until his grades were good.

Fang Minghua tossed and turned in bed at night, unable to sleep. If a large bowl of tea stall can make five or six hundred, how much can the second son make in a month?

That large bowl of tea stall should be his least noteworthy business now, right? The two of them plus the two elders worked hard at home, but in a year they only made about the same as his tea stall made in a month.

Thinking of this, the joy of this year's harvest was discounted.

Yuan Shufen said, "If you can't sleep, just lie down and don't move! Why are you disturbing others to sleep?"

"Tell me, how much can the second son make in a month?"

Yuan Shufen said, "It's definitely not less than a thousand, maybe two thousand."

Fang Minghua sat up, "

It's definitely more." "It doesn't matter if it's more." Yuan Shufen knew how powerful her brother-in-law was. He was willing to help, and her family couldn't think of anything else.

"Tomorrow I will study Mandarin more seriously, and you should study hard too. Don't let people find out that we are blind migrants and drive us back when we get to the capital."

"Got it."

A few days later, Fang Mingche called home and asked for an introduction of a diligent, clean, and healthy girl to help take care of the children in the capital.

Fang's father said, "Okay, I'll help you find one. How much salary will you offer?"

"30 a month with food and accommodation. This is the basic salary, and I'll give you a red envelope every New Year and festival. The size of the red envelope depends on performance. It's best if you have been educated and can read."

"Okay, I got it."

He spread the word when he returned to the village, and soon many people came to recommend themselves. There were also some who wanted to recommend relatives from their mother's side.

Yuan Shufen said directly to the others: "Those who want to recommend relatives from my mother's side, please give up the idea. My mother and I also want to recommend relatives from my mother's side."

Her father-in-law meant that if the girls from the Fang family wanted to go, they would definitely be given priority.

Those people looked at Yuan Shufen and her mother-in-law, as well as the little girl surnamed Fang who came to recommend themselves, and had to give up the idea.

Fang's father picked out the nieces and grandnieces who came, and chose one named Fang Min. Fang Min's name according to generation is Uncle Jiu Fang Mingche. She is 16 years old this year and dropped out of junior high school.

She wanted to work in a rice mill before, but she couldn't compete with those with graduation certificates. That position is equivalent to an office handyman, and she is not good at physical work.

Now that there is a chance to go to the capital, Fang Min definitely wants to go. Going to take care of the children of Uncle Jiu, the most promising uncle in the Fang family, at least there is no need to worry about being deceived.

Fang's father said, "Your uncle Jiu said that he wants you to go to junior high school to get an equivalent academic qualification certificate. This way, when you go to the capital, you will have the opportunity

to study at night school or something like that." Xiao Xie passed the equivalent academic qualification certificate under Gao Xiang's guidance. Otherwise, the night school would not accept her who had not even graduated from elementary school.

"Okay, Grandpa Qi, I got it."

Fang Min went to find her junior high school class teacher and asked how to get the equivalent academic qualification certificate.

When the class teacher heard that she was just going to be a nanny, she was surprised and said, "To be a nanny in the capital, do you need this certificate?"

"Teacher, the client is my distant cousin. He said that if I take this certificate, he can arrange for me to go to night school. My future prospects will be wider."

"Your cousin? The capital? Oh, is he Fang Mingche who donated 1,000 yuan to pay for the tuition of poor students in your village?"

"Yes."

"No wonder he has this request. This is for your future."

The teacher talked to Fang Min carefully, and then asked her to go back and review first, and arranged an exam for her in half a month.

"Thank you, teacher."

In November, Fang Min successfully passed the junior high school graduate's equivalent academic qualification test. This was not difficult, as long as she could pass it.

The next step was to go to the branch secretary to get a visit certificate.

The branch secretary knew that she would definitely not come back after she went, but he still made it convenient for her and issued a visit certificate for half a month.

However, "You are a little girl, going to Beijing alone?"

It might not be safe on the road. As far as he knew, there were many people who robbed trains.

"Uncle Jiu said he would buy me a sleeper ticket. It will be mailed to me in a few days. I will leave after I get it. Someone will pick me up when I get off the train!"

The branch secretary nodded. Sleepers are okay, and the safety factor of sleepers is much higher.

"Well, you are a junior high school student after all, and you are considered a half-intellectual in the village. It shouldn't be difficult for you to take a train to the city."

Fang Min nodded, "I have been to the city, and I can walk to the train when I ask."

"Okay, this is also a way out. By the way, does your fourth uncle's family need a nanny when they go back?"

Fang Mingfeng's wife seems to be eight or nine months old. If we hire one more person, there will be one more person working in the capital. If we can't get into the rice mill, it's better than staying at home.

Fang Min shook her head, "I heard that my fourth aunt's mother was sent to the capital by her brother last month. I don't know if she still needs people."

A few days later, she received a sleeper ticket sent back by mail, and her parents sent her to the city bus.

She didn't have much luggage. Her mother said, "When you go there, your uncle and aunt will definitely buy you clothes as the host family. You only need to wear one set and take one set. The rest will be left at home for your sister. It will definitely look tacky in the capital, so it's better to leave it at home. What a blessing, you can even get a sleeper on the train."

In fact, her parents treated her well, allowing a girl to study until the first grade of junior high school. This is all because of the poverty of the family.

Fang Min got off the train and was picked up by Fang Mingcheng in a small truck to the small side courtyard.

There was no one in the small side courtyard for the time being. Fang Chang, who had just turned half a year old, was crying and clamoring to go out for a walk, so Lin Yan had to push him out with the courtyard door half-closed.

Half a year old, can sit steadily. Just sit in the stroller and wear a windproof hat.

Fang Mingcheng said: "Look, this small room is prepared for you. Next door is Yanyan's room. You mainly take care of little Changchang. But Yanyan has just turned five years old and needs someone to take care of her. I heard that your aunt will go back to college next semester, so I called you here."

Fang Min was very surprised, "I have my own room?"

She didn't enjoy this treatment at home.

Fang Mingcheng nodded, "Of course not."

He raised his hand and pointed to the half-moon door next to him, "It's quite crowded over there, and there are very few girls of your age who have their own room."

After all, the rent for a room depends on the size of the room. Three to five yuan a month. They all live together with brothers and sisters.

Fang Min's small room used to be lived in by Yanyan. Now that Yanyan has moved to the big room, it is empty. Occasionally, let the office staff stack some packaged handicrafts.

"That's the kitchen. There are special towels, washbasins and buckets prepared for you in the room. Take the bucket to get hot water and take a hot bath. After three days of train ride, even though it's winter, it's more comfortable to take a bath. Just lock the door from the inside when you take a bath."

"Hey, thank you, uncle."

"I'm the eleventh in my clan. You can call me Uncle Eleven or Uncle Mingcheng."

"Okay, Uncle Eleven."

Fang Mingcheng was actually off duty today. But Fang Min had to be picked up when she came back, so Lin Yan asked him to go.

Fang Mingcheng agreed to this niece who lived in the next room.

After settling her down, he went back to his room to continue memorizing words. If he practices English well, he will have the opportunity to go to the UK and the US. He must want to go out and earn a high salary. In foreign countries, foreign exchange is directly issued! That way, it will be much easier to buy a house.

When Lin Yan came back with the stroller, Fang Min had just come out of the bath. Seeing her, she hurriedly greeted her, "Aunt Jiu——"

"Hey, you're here. Wash the small clothes inside by hand. Put the clothes outside in this laundry basket and wash them together in the washing machine later."

Fang's father had called to tell her whose daughter it was before. Lin Yan recalled and had some impression. Now she saw the person and it was right! It seemed that she had taught him before.

Lin Yan pushed the stroller to the washing machine, "Yes, just put it in this bamboo basket and cover it."

This bamboo basket and the lid were also made by Lao Song. He has very skillful hands.

"Originally, I said I would wait for you at home, but your little brother has to go out every day. If I don't push him out, he will keep crying beside me." He

really had to go out every day. When it rained, she had to push him out with a cloak. He also made a canopy for his own stroller to keep out the rain.

"Okay, you just arrived, go pack your luggage."

Fang Min was a little embarrassed. What luggage could she pack? Just the underwear she had changed, autumn clothes and clothes she was wearing. Her family didn't bring her any other clothes.

Lin Yan took her to see the closet and table, but the closet was empty. There was no suitcase either, just a bundle.

This bundle was on the berth before, which made Fang Min very embarrassed for a while.

Lin Yan said, "It's okay. There are ready-made clothes for sale nearby, which are economical. I will take you there in a few days to buy two sets. It is indeed my job to buy them for you. I didn't know your current size before, so it's better now than buying them."

As long as the work is done well, she doesn't care about these small details.

Later, Yanyan came back from the Children's Palace. Since Lin Yan spread some rumors, she was going to find another familiar black taxi driver to pick up Yanyan. Master He never let Yanyan wait at the Children's Palace again, and he would pick her up on time.

"Yanyan, this is your sister Min. You two are not out of the five generations of mourning. From now on, sister Min will live in our house and take care of your brother and you."

Yanyan looked up at Fang Min, "Hello, sister Min!"

"Hello, Yanyan!"

Fang Min settled down in the small courtyard. She didn't need to do too much work, just cleaning and taking care of Fang Chang.

In addition to Fang Mingche's family, the people she dealt with the most on a daily basis were the Xie sisters. Xie Ping and Xie Ting both had to go to night school, but their classes were specially arranged to take turns. There had to be someone at home.

After Fang Min settled down, she went to class with the sisters. She didn't need to be a nanny until the children went to school. With a night school diploma, it would be easier for Fang Min to find another job outside or join a travel agency in a few years.

Of course, if she was good enough and passed the night school and passed the high school graduate's equivalent academic certificate, she would have the opportunity to go to college in the future.

Fang Mingche and Lin Yan told her this on the first night she came.

Fang Mingche said directly: "You should have a plan in life. You are still young, so the elders have the obligation to plan for you. Take advantage of the two hours of study time every night."

During the night school, he and Ayan went home after school. There are very few evening classes in college, and most of them are elective courses. In his family's situation, he did not choose elective courses for evening classes.

"Uncle Jiu, Aunt Jiu, thank you for considering me. I will cherish the opportunity to study!"

She came to be a nanny, but she still had her own study time. Moreover, the tuition was paid by Uncle Jiu.

Fang Mingche said: "You call us uncle and aunt, so we must consider you."

The Xie sisters rode Gao Xiang's 28-bar bicycle, which he did not use at night. Fang Min rode Fang Mingche's bicycle, which he did not use at night.

In November, there was another dividend distribution. At the same time, Lao Cui's 5,000 yuan was repaid, and the two families agreed to go to the bank to transfer the money. Lin Yan drove Lao Cui there.

Boss Cui said, "Actually, I'm not in a hurry to use the money. If you still need it, just keep using it."

Lin Yan said, "It's okay. It's better to keep more money around. We've recovered now."

The annual interest rate of the bank is 4%, and the interest rate of a private person is 10%. She would definitely rather borrow money from the bank! Borrowing from a private person is a last resort.

After sending Lao Cui home, Lin Yan looked around and said, "Actually, you can also try to expand here. Business is so good that it's almost full."

Boss Cui said, "Someone is watching us, saying that we have hired too many people. Also, the land outside is not mine, it's on the road."

His apprentice and nephew who came to help were all counted as his hired people. Moreover, during this period, the tax people were urging him to register and apply for a business license, and they were also strict in this regard.

Humph, those who reported him were not just feeling unbalanced because he made money. Don't you think that they also earn hard-earned money in the catering business!

"This road is quite wide. You can pay some rent to the street office and set up a row of tables. As for hiring people, aren't you also earning foreign exchange?"

Boss Cui smiled bitterly, "Last time, I used this as an excuse to get away with it. Unlike your travel agency, which is large in scale and pays a lot of foreign exchange every month."

Lin Yan thought to herself: You have never exchanged foreign exchange at the bank. You want to enjoy the preferential treatment of earning foreign exchange, but you don't exchange foreign exchange. Then won't they have a way to deal with you?

Boss Cui said: "After being criticized last time, I went to exchange some on a monthly basis."

By the way, speaking of foreign exchange, last time Yingzi left, he exchanged 50 US dollars for Lao Zhou. Lao Zhou promised to exchange the money back to him when Yingzi brought back the money. At least he would exchange it for foreign exchange coupons. In the end, Yingzi didn't exchange a penny back, and the matter was left unresolved.

He asked Lin Yan, "Do you want to go and ask Lao Zhou to exchange foreign exchange together?"

The travel agency had exchanged 450 US dollars for Lao Zhou before.

"He doesn't have it. If you want to go, you go. It's not easy for me to go. I borrowed Lao Zhou's money before and used his home phone. Besides, Lingzi is still working at our place. How can I go?" Lin Yan evaded.

"Huh, promises that you can't do. I can exchange more money on the black market with the US dollars. Or I can keep it, and it will definitely increase in the future."

Lin Yan returned the money, and Fang Min strolled in the small side yard with Fang Chang in her arms. Fang Min's work made Lin Yan very satisfied, especially her patience with Fang Chang. Yanyan also said that Sister Min was very good. Fang

Mingche was writing a small essay on the desk in the east room of the main house. Considering 30% of his usual grades, he dared not take it lightly. He

just walked out because he had been sitting for a long time. Lin Yan came forward and whispered: "I returned the money to Lao Cui. He encouraged me to go to Lao Zhou to exchange the foreign currency back."

At the beginning, Lao Zhou really thought that he could control Yingzi. His two daughters were controlled by him from childhood to adulthood. Who knew that Yingzi went to the United States and did not send a penny home. Lingzi also began to talk about conditions and was no longer willing to hand over 80% of her income to him for unified management.

Fang Mingche smiled and said: "It is indeed what Lao Zhou promised in the morning. He said that he would only exchange with us temporarily, and he would exchange it back when Yingzi sent the money back. Lao Cui saw that the price on the black market was still rising, and he was not comfortable. "

Fang Min happened to come over with Fang Chang, and was a little surprised to hear that Aunt Jiu went to the bank to exchange money. It turned out that Uncle Jiu and Aunt Jiu were still in debt! Before,

Aunt Jiu also went to the bank from time to time, and asked her to stay at home to look after Changchang. She didn't expect that she was going to pay back the money today.

Well, Lin Yan felt relieved to find someone who knew her family well to take care of her youngest son. No matter what, Fang Min would not sell Fang Chang away. As long as Fang Chang was willing to let her take care of him, it would be fine.

Fang Min was very grateful to Uncle Jiu and Aunt Jiu for making a study plan for her, and for doing their best to take care of the children. So after just a few days, Fang Chang was already willing to get close to her.

She felt that this job was good, and it was not as tiring as doing farm work at home! She could even push her little cousin to Tiananmen Square from time to time.

It was about to enter the middle of winter, and Aunt Jiu bought her a thick cotton coat. So that she could wear warm clothes.

Usually, when washing diapers, small clothes, and small pants for Chang Chang, she also asked her to boil hot water and mix it with cold water. It was much better than washing clothes at home in winter, when her hands were frozen like carrots.

Fang Min was quite happy to stay here. She put Fang Chang back in the stroller, and then raised her hand to take down Yan Yan's dancing shoes that were hanging out to dry.

Lin Yan said to Fang Mingche: "I think next year when I start school, it should be okay for Xiaomin to take Changchang home."

Asking Fang Min to come at the end of November was naturally for the purpose of making a transition. Now the transition is going quite well.
