Chapter 229: Solution

What Father Lin said to Fang Mingche was that he saw how developed the industry was in Tokyo, and thought that we have to import many things now.

Fang Mingche comforted him, "Dad, Chinese people are ambitious and good at learning. The most prosperous industries in Japan are automobiles and home appliances. Although our related industries are still in the starting stage, they will definitely stand up. Old technicians like you, those engineers who graduated from universities, and thousands of ordinary workers will all stand up. When we were poor, didn't we also develop two bombs and one satellite? That was the effort of your generation. Each generation has its own responsibilities. We must believe in the wisdom and responsibility of future generations."

Father Lin thought for a while, "What you said makes sense. The Chinese are indeed ambitious."

If you ask him if he envies his in-laws for buying a big yard, then of course he is envious. However, his retirement salary is less than 100 yuan, and he doesn't have the confidence to pay for the house.

The Japanese borrow money from the bank and ask for collateral. The in-laws are asking his own son for money, which is more justified. As for himself, although a son-in-law is half a son, he is not so justified if he has another son. It would be different if he only had Ayan as his daughter. After

all, you can't bring the house with you when you are born, and you can't take it with you when you die. However, when he went back to tell Lin's mother, Lin's mother said, "We have another son, so it is indeed not so justified. But my in-laws also have another son. Which son will we leave the big yard to after we buy it? Besides, I'm not cursing him. He said he was borrowing money, but if the money is not paid back, wouldn't his eldest son still have half of the yard according to the rules?"

Lin's father said, "Don't get involved!"

Lin Yan came later, and they all had fixed rooms here. Fang Mingche followed in and whispered that his father wanted to borrow 30,000 yuan to buy a courtyard house, and then pay it back in installments, including principal and interest.

Lin Yan blinked, "Why bother? If my parents feel that the small side courtyard is not spacious enough, then we can buy another courtyard to settle them. Why should our father be in debt when he is over 50 years old? Moreover, if he really pays back the principal and interest as he said, it will probably take more than ten or twenty years."

Just like the small side courtyard, she had no objection to letting her father-in-law, brother and sister-in-law, nephews and nieces live in it. After all, the house is still under her and Mingche's name.

But this borrowed money to buy a house, 80% of it will belong to brother and sister-in-law in the future, she is still a little unhappy.

At that time, they will leave a sentence "You can live a better life, and this house will be left to you brother and sister-in-law". Will they go against their dying words? It's easy to say.

Fang Mingche said, "This is what I think. Didn't you save 60,000 yuan to wait for the Overseas Chinese Apartment to have a house, so you can buy it at any time? We just asked the landlord some time ago, and he doesn't want to buy it. He has no plan to take it back for three to five years. Otherwise, we can rent it for a few more years. Of the 60,000 yuan, 30,000 yuan each will be lent to the elderly of the two families to buy a house."

His father was right. The people in the travel agency were definitely not qualified to compare their treatment with his biological father. The only one who could compare with him was his father-in-law. Just treat them equally!

When he said this, Lin Yan hesitated.

"Isn't this bad?"

Fang Mingche said, "As long as you and I are happy, there's nothing wrong with it. The house of my father-in-law and mother-in-law will belong to Lin Yi and Han Mei in the future. As for my parents' house, we won't fight for it and give it to my brother and sister-in-law. In this way, whether they want to buy a storefront or a minibus in the future, they can use the house to mortgage the bank."

Lin Yan thought about it, "Okay! I have no objection."

Her parents also have a house, and it will be given to Lin Yi in the future. Then she naturally had no right to care about the parents-in-law's property, which would be given to her brother and sister-in-law in the future.

It just so happened that since it belonged to her brother and sister-in-law, they would pay for it together. As for her parents' house, Lin Yi and Han Mei would pay for it. It was the end of 1983, and the news of unpaid leave was released. It was said that a red-headed document

would be issued starting from the New Year's Day next year, so that everyone could consider it. Then let Lin Yi take unpaid leave and drive for the travel agency full-time. In fact, he is said to drive steadily. As long as he doesn't respond to tourists' questions and requests with a stern face and impatiently, it will be enough. That should be 200 a month. Add Han Mei's 300, and there will be no problem with paying for the house.

Fang Mingche nodded, "Then you can talk to your parents, brothers, and brothers' wives. I will talk to my parents and brother and sister-in-law. Or we can get everyone together to talk."

Lin Yan nodded, "Okay."

It was clear that her brother and sister-in-law took advantage of this. Then she thought it was OK! Mingche must have thought the same about her family.

Fang Mingche smiled and said that it was because he could make money now. These things were easier to solve. So, money can solve almost all conflicts in life.

His father probably didn't think so much at first. He just saw how the Japanese paid for housing, and the courtyard houses in the capital were also expected to rise. Speaking of which, his father now earns 300 a month, and he may not know how to spend it. Before

, he supported his grandchildren. But now his brother and sister-in-law are here, and the noodle shop business is quite prosperous. So

he naturally has to bear the responsibility of supporting his children. The old man, who has experienced 60 years, would definitely not be willing to spend the remaining money on food, drink and entertainment. But if he uses it to ask for land and houses, and he expects the price to rise, he can bear it.

Now that they are resting after a long journey, they are not in a hurry to talk about it.

Lin Yan also called Lin Yi and Han Mei to the small courtyard for dinner.

After dinner, Fang Mingche said, "Mom and Dad, my parents-in-law, my brother and sister-in-law, Lin Yi, Han Mei, and A Yan have something to say. You kids can stay if you want to listen, or go out and play if you don't want to."

In the end, even Chang Chang sat on the small stool with a smile, and held a family meeting together.

Fang Mingche told the story, and even said that the 60,000 yuan was reserved for buying a house in Huaqiao Apartment. Otherwise, they would be accused of owing money all day long, so how could they come up with 60,000 yuan all at once.

As for others who want to borrow money from him to buy a house, don't ask. Even if they ask, there will be no money! It will all be based on the benefits announced by the travel agency before.

Father Fang only came to his senses at this moment. He seemed to have given his youngest son a problem. He thought that he borrowed money to buy a house and paid it back by himself, so it was not a bargain. But it is true that when the money is paid off, he will be close to 70 years old. It is necessary to consider the issue of who will be left with the house.

Moreover, the income gap between the eldest and the second child is so large, he must take care of the eldest child who is not living so well. Mingche is easy to say, but Ah Yan will definitely be dissatisfied. Now it's good, the two of them are even.

He nodded, "Okay, let's do it. Then when we find a suitable house, the eldest brother and his wife will pay back the money with us."

Fang Minghua and Yuan Shufen nodded. Of course they are happy! They were planning to buy a house anyway. And the old man's money will also be used to buy it with them, and the big yard will belong to them in the future.

Fang's mother was still a little unhappy. Lin Yan had married into the Fang family. A daughter who married out is a daughter of a family! Besides, the money was mainly earned by her son. However, the old man had expressed his opinion. It was not easy for her to sing a different tune!

As for the Lin family, Han Mei also thought that Lin Yi would be able to go through the procedures for unpaid leave next month. Nowadays, some areas have successfully implemented unpaid leave. As the office director, she also knew that this policy was about to be launched.

As for the two elders not being able to make money like Uncle Fang. Anyway, it will belong to her and Lin Yi in the future, so it doesn't matter if they pay a little more. However,

what if they get divorced? This can be agreed with Lin Yi in private. Now let's wait for the father-in-law to express his opinion. For such a big thing, since the younger generation is willing, they must wait for the old man of the family to come forward and express his opinion.

Lin Yi is also very happy. If it weren't for the brother-in-law who took the initiative to bring up this matter, their family would not be as confident as his family. Moreover, what the brother-in-law said was right. Borrow money to buy a big house, and when you want to buy a minibus in the future, you can use the house as a mortgage. Even if it is not enough, it will not be too much.

In this way, he can save his money. Moreover, Han Mei's money is also invested in the house, so the possibility of divorce in the future is low. After all, the house must be written in his father's name now. It is not under the rule that it becomes the common property of the couple after eight years of marriage. This also saves the Yue family from asking Han Mei for money when they want to buy a house.

Seeing his son and daughter-in-law, the two main contributors, staring at him eagerly, Father Lin thought about

it and nodded, "Okay!" He couldn't say that you still owe so much money at this time. It seems like he is accusing the in-laws of not considering their daughter and son-in-law. Moreover, since Mingche dared to say this, it should not be too difficult to take it out.

Seeing that they all agreed, Fang Mingche said: "That's it, you can each find a house. The upper limit is 30,000 per family, and we can't take out more."

Phew, it was finally solved to everyone's satisfaction. Moreover, they all supported such a big thing as buying a house. It would be completely justifiable to ignore other things in the future. No one can blame them then!

Fang Mingche said, "Okay, that's it. I have to go back to study."

Fang's father and Lin's father both said, "Well, you do your business."

The two sides went to look for a suitable house, and agreed to find one that was close for convenience. Then they would ask Lin Yan for the money. Anyway, she was the one who managed the money for the travel agency and the family.

Fang Mingche continued to review, and in the final sprint stage, he almost ignored everything else.

He was so busy that he didn't feel relieved until he finished the postgraduate entrance examination in January 1983. He filled in all the information he could, and the results were not under his control.

As for the final exams later, that was not a big deal. There were only one or two professional courses and a few elective courses left. He could take them with the knowledge he had for the postgraduate entrance examination, and he could do whatever he wanted.

His parents and parents-in-law had been looking for a house for more than a month, but there was no result yet. As for Lin Yi, as soon as the official document was issued on New Year's Day, he submitted an application for a two-year unpaid leave. The upper limit is two years, but it can be renewed upon expiration. Now he has officially joined the travel agency as a driver.

Since Lin's father knew that he could get 90% of his original salary when he retired with 35 years of service, he actually became more thoughtful. Originally, the salary for retirement was a little less than that for employment, which was about 90%-95%.

In other words, there is actually not much difference between his retirement now and retirement when he reaches the age. It is impossible for him to get promoted now. At most, his salary will increase according to his years of service. Otherwise, just retire. When

he had this idea, Lin Yan, Lin Yi and Lin's mother took turns to whisper in his ear while the iron was hot. In the end, it was agreed that he would finish his last shift. The procedures for early retirement would be completed before the Lunar New Year. As for the money from selling his job, it would be directly put into the house payment.

The two elders and Han Mei had already taken out their savings. The two elders saved 2,000, and Han Mei also took out 2,000. With the money from selling his job, there will be at least 1,000. Then he will only need to borrow 25,000.

Fang Mingche left the examination room and got into his own car. The driver came to pick him up and drove directly to the club where Lao Wang and his friends were outside the city.

Didn’t Lin Yan top up 1,000 yuan, and gave him 200 yuan. But the expenses of the four children’s martial arts training are included in the tuition. Both of them are busy and have never come to spend money.

Fang Mingche planned to have a good rest for a few days when he drove there. He turned to another examination room halfway and picked up Gao Xiang.

The examination room is determined by the colleges and universities applied for, so the two are not in the same place.

Gao Xiang also asked Xie Ping to send him some things. Fang Mingche is the boss, so he can take a rest. He still has to work. After New Year’s Day is the busiest time for financial staff. He took a day off and then prepared to go to work. It was just right for him to go to the club with the boss to spend money, and food and accommodation were provided.

Fang Mingche called out to Xie Ping, "Let's go in and have some fun. There are also things suitable for you to play inside."

Xie Ping waved her hand, "No need, just go in."

Lin Yan didn't go either, so why should she go? What's more, she is a breastfeeding woman.

In this icy and snowy weather, Xie Ping definitely didn't ride a bicycle by herself. A small truck brought her here. She waved and got on the car, and the two sides separated.

Fang Mingche and Gao Xiang both looked tired. The postgraduate entrance examination was not easy at all.

After entering, the club was quite quiet. Fang Mingche was a little surprised, "Business is not good?"

He originally thought that the business was very good, and he even called Lao Wang to reserve a standard room for him.

Gao Xiang saw that there were no outsiders in the car, and the driver was also Fang Mingche's for a long time, so he said: "After the end of October last year, these second-generation and third-generation people have become much quieter. Naturally, the business here has also been quiet."

Before that, it was indeed prosperous for half a month. Many people know that a high-consumption place has opened here, and you can ride war horses and shoot real guns. Some come to negotiate business, and many come to take care of business for various purposes.
