Chapter 121: Admission Banquet
Fang Mingfeng followed Fang Mingche to set up the stall and took the bus there.
There were not many tourists at noon. Even if there were, there was ready-made tea hanging on the stall. Song Quan helped to sell it. Fang Mingche would go away and have lunch.
Fang Mingfeng said, "My stingy boss has become much more generous now. One-fifth of the car can be used by the driver to transport private goods. After all, it is really risking his life now. After such a trip, if everything goes well, the income is really not low. But it really risks his life! This money can't be earned for a long time."
Fang Mingche said, "What about your brother-in-law?"
"He, he left a long time ago. He also said that he would come to me after I made a name for myself in the capital."
Fang Mingche was a little convinced of his cousin's brother-in-law. As a brother-in-law, he went out with his brother-in-law to prostitute, but he never came back to tell his sister. In the final analysis, it was because he could eat meat with his brother-in-law.
But if there was anything, he couldn't rely on this guy.
"Since I'm in the capital, I'm going to observe for a while and find a safer livelihood. It shouldn't be the case that not every place will check for a letter of introduction like your slum, right?"
"No. If they really checked so strictly, how could I stay here with Yanyan for several months? Your accent has a bit of Cantonese. Just show it openly. Let people guess whether you are from Guangdong or Hong Kong. Anyway, if you are openly, no one wearing a red armband will come to cause trouble."
Even if those people have the task of catching blind migrants, they are mainly targeting those who will affect the appearance of the city. As long as you don't sleep on the street or under the overpass at night, it's still relatively safe.
That night, Cui's wife gave Lin Yan a bicycle ticket.
She was familiar with the black market and charged a five-yuan handling fee. After all, going to the black market requires getting up early in the morning and avoiding people, which is risky.
Lin Yan directly gave her 55 yuan. If you go by yourself, you won't be as familiar with the places as Cui's wife. People may not be willing to take out more valuable tickets. I would worry if the police were stinging me!
Lin Yan said, "I can buy it tomorrow and give it to you, Brother Mingfeng, to use first."
Fang Mingfeng nodded. It would be much more convenient to go out with a bicycle.
He went to the mall with Lin Yan and Yanyan to buy a bicycle the next morning. He tried it and found it very flexible, so he rode directly along the central axis.
Fang Mingche told him that this route was very interesting. He also bought a map of the capital and followed the map. He carried a military water bottle to replenish water on the way. It was lunchtime at noon, and he could find a place to eat nearby. He looked around these two days and found that there were many places selling food in the capital.
There were both state-owned and private ones. Anyway, with food coupons and money, everything was easy. Unlike his hometown, he had no place to spend money and food coupons. There
were still no street vendors in his hometown! The spring breeze of reform had not yet blown.
It didn't matter if he got lost. He would always find his way back to Tiananmen Square. In this way, Lin Yan and Yanyan would not have to accompany him anymore.
Fang Mingfeng's telegram arrived at his hometown two days later. Fang Tong was still furious. She had told all her friends that she was going to the capital to see Tiananmen Square, and she had packed a small bag.
But when she woke up from a nap that day, her father was gone.
Fang Jian was happy to hear about this. He grinned and said to Fang Fang privately: "We haven't been to our second uncle's place yet. Why should she, a member of the Eighth Route Army, go there?"
There was no way, Fang Kang knew nothing. If you told him about the capital, he would ask "Is it delicious?" He could only tell his sister.
Fang Fang said: "Her family is rich, so she can go whenever she wants. And she didn't rely on her second uncle for food and accommodation."
If they went like this, they would definitely rely on their second uncle for everything from travel expenses to food and accommodation.
Fang Jian said: "He is our second uncle, and family members should help each other. If our father hadn't given the opportunity to study to our second uncle, how could he have gone to the capital and been admitted to Beijing Normal University?"
Fang Fang lowered her head and rolled her eyes implicitly. She really couldn't agree with her father's statement to save face.
Her father made it sound as if he and his second uncle were admitted to the school together, and he gave the opportunity to his second uncle. It was obviously because he didn't study hard and had to go home to do farm work.
Grandpa had no choice but to choose his second uncle to continue training. Grandpa was determined to train a stable job in the second generation.
As for the third generation, the goal was raised on this basis, and they had to go to college. It is estimated that with the second uncle's admission to Beijing Normal University, this requirement has been raised again.
If possible, Dad would not give the opportunity to his second uncle. She also wanted to read more!
She talked about this with her mother in private, and Yuan Shufen could only sigh, "Your father said that he would just let you finish the second grade of elementary school and be able to recognize words. It costs a lot of money for your brother and your younger brother to go to school." It
is really hard for a person who works hard to support three people who study. In this case, between a son and a daughter, the daughter will definitely be sacrificed. They are all sons, and then they will talk about academic performance.
Fang Fang said unconvincedly: "Even if they are not as good as me in study?"
Yuan Shufen looked embarrassed, and then said: "You should work hard. If you have good grades, you can ask your second uncle to pay your tuition. Mom also hopes that you can get out of the farm. Like your second aunt, you can study more, so that you can be valued by your in-laws in the future and have a better life."
Fang Fang nodded, she must have good grades.
"I envy Yanyan so much!"
"Wait until she has a brother, after all, the son is the one who passes on the household registration book."
Yuan Shufen paused and said: "So, you must be very good to Yanyan and her future brothers. Be sincere and kind. Otherwise, why should you ask your second uncle and second aunt?"
Fang Fang nodded, "Mom, I will."
She was good to Yanyan, and Yanyan reciprocated. Over time, she treated Yanyan as her own sister.
But the eldest brother and the younger brother, no matter how good they were to them, it seemed that they should be. They never gave her a little response.
After Fang Mingfeng rode away with his bicycle, Lin Yan took Yanyan to buy school supplies. After buying them, Yanyan couldn't wait to go to Dashilan and show them to her father one by one.
Fang Mingche looked at the crayons, pencils, pencil sharpeners, erasers, etc. that she excitedly took out of her backpack, "So poor students have more stationery?"
Yanyan said unhappily, "I'm not a bad student! My father and mother are both college students, and I will be a college student in the future."
The little girl still has a strong sense of honor.
"Then you should cherish all these stationery. Dad is in the third grade, and he has nothing except pencils."
Yanyan nodded, "Yeah."
"But college students can't inherit. You have to take the exam yourself! It doesn't mean that your father and mother are college students, you are naturally a college student."
Yanyan straightened her chest and said, "I will work hard."
Fang Mingche looked at the two-to-one reduced military backpack and couldn't help saying to Lin Yan, "You are too clever."
Yanyan smiled and said, "Sister Niuniu was so happy when she received it."
Lin Yan said, "Later, someone told me that military things cannot be modified like this. But, there is no way to restore it. Just give it to children for use, it shouldn't be a big deal. If it is broken, can't it be repaired? It's all modification, but this modification is bigger."
In a blink of an eye, it was the third Sunday of August, which was the day that Lin's father decided to hold a graduation banquet for his daughter and son-in-law.
Lin Yan's college admission letter finally arrived two days ago.
She wanted to be very happy when she took it, but Mingche and Teacher Gao were not so outgoing. So she just looked at it happily.
The family of three took a photo with the two admission letters. Yanyan held one in each hand and was held by her father.
Nowadays, when taking photos, people like to bring all the valuable things in the house. Aren't these two admission letters the most valuable things in their family?
Lin Yan suggested to take the photo, and Fang Mingche followed the local customs.
I heard that Teacher Gao and Xiao Xie also went to take the photo. They brought Gao's mother with them. Maybe she was in a good mood because of the happy event. Well, she borrowed the wheelchair that Gu Zhiguang had used before to push her there.
On the day when his father-in-law held a graduation banquet, Fang Mingche did not set up the stall. Now that he has a vegetable business and a scrap business, the tea stall is no longer the only source of income.
Besides, it can't be open for a few days.
Father Lin's face was beaming today. He only greeted a few relatives and the closest people, and he was not ostentatious.
There are two college students in the family, and the son-in-law was admitted to a famous university. This is too proud!
The factory director met him on the road a few days ago and took the initiative to ask about this. It can be seen that the university his son-in-law was admitted to is of high quality.
Lin Yi just felt annoyed when he saw it, "It's not a few months ago when he just came to the capital without Yan Yan's knowledge. Do you think he has a problem with his brain?"
The attitude has changed too much. It's almost the same as Fan Jin's father-in-law, Hu the butcher!
"You know what? Your brother-in-law must have had a plan in mind before he dared to quit his official job. Don't be dissatisfied! If your girlfriend Han Mei is admitted to university and is willing to marry you, I will tighten my belt to give her everything she wants. Even if I have to let her brother take over my job, it's fine."
Lin Yi said, "If she can get into university, will she still like me?"
He and Han Mei have not been in contact for a long time because his family refused to agree to the Han family's conditions. Han Mei rejected his invitation again and again. He didn't even know if they were still a couple.
"You know that you are just someone else's last resort. Why don't you try to get into college and see for yourself?"
Lin's mother said, "She is a high school student, and your sister is only a junior high school student. Your sister can get into a junior college, let alone a bachelor's degree. Let me see if she can
get into a junior college." Lin Yi said in a very low voice, "Look how inflated you two are."
As a result, Lin's mother heard it, and she said, "Of course, I am proud to have raised a daughter who is a college student. I am even more proud to have a son-in-law who is a college student from a prestigious university. What's wrong with you compared to your sister? Why can't you get into college? Otherwise, you should also prepare to go to college. When I sell this job, I will keep the money. I will save it for your dowry in the future. When you go to college, you can find a college student partner. If you can get into college, I will be so happy!"
"How can it be that easy? Zhu Qiming is a freshman in high school. He took the exam three times and is still far from the passing score."
Father Lin heard Zhu Qiming's name and said, "I don't know if your uncle's family will come today. Who cares? I've called them anyway. It's their business whether they come or not. If they don't come, we can also not go if they have something to do in the future."
He also didn't like dealing with his brother-in-law's family. They only know how to take advantage and get benefits.
Thinking of this, he said to Lin Yi, "Don't become like your uncle, who only knows how to get benefits from your sister. I look down on such people!"
Mother Lin was embarrassed when she heard it, but she had nothing to refute. Because her brother is such a person. He doesn't give her face at all!
She estimated that their family should not come today. After all, her nephew failed the exam three times, and his plan to go there to get a salary that day was dashed again.
However, her sister's family should come. Thinking of this, Mother Lin felt very comfortable. Her sister has always been sweet-mouthed and arranged better jobs than her. She also got a small leader. She has always been very proud.
However, ever since her daughter and her husband fought for her, her sister's attitude has completely changed.
She no longer mentions how good the person she introduced to Yan was. She just says that it's a good thing that it didn't work out, otherwise it would be a loss for her college niece. Being able to get into college now is like a carp leaping over the dragon gate!
Alas, if, if Lin Yi can also fight for his honor and get into college, she really has nothing else to ask for. At that time, do she still need to worry about Lin Yi finding a partner?
At about half past nine, Lin Yan drove Yan Yan and Fang Mingche drove her cousin over. It was a dinner party for their sake, so they had to arrive early.
But fortunately, the father-in-law was more open-minded and didn't want to have a banquet at home. That would be really crowded! There are only two rooms of 28 square meters. And they must be exhausted, especially the women.
When Father Lin saw them, he said with a smile, "Old lady, Mingche and the others are here." This was the first time in
Fang Mingche's life that he had received such courtesy. His father-in-law personally carried a stool and poured water for him. He was really flattered for a moment.
"Dad, this is my cousin Fang Mingfeng. He came to the capital to see us."
"Mingfeng, right? Come sit down." Father Lin smiled and handed him a cigarette.
Fang Mingfeng brought gifts, "Uncle, aunt, I should have come to see you earlier. I heard Mingche and Xiaolin say they would come today, so I dragged it until today to come together."
Lin's mother said, "His cousin, you are too polite."
Lin Yi also came out, greeted "sister", "brother-in-law", and then called "brother Mingfeng". Then he took Yanyan out to play.
"Where did you get this small military backpack? Does your family know anyone who is in the army?"
Yanyan said, "The bag was given to me by Uncle Lao Wang, and my mother changed it into two small ones. Sister Niuniu and I will each have one, and we will go to school together when the time comes."
After a while, Yanyan came back with a lollipop in her mouth. She also opened the small backpack to show her mother, and there were hawthorn cakes and fruit leather she bought inside.
Lin Yan looked at Lin Yi, did he break up with Han Mei? So he spent the money on his niece? It seems that it's better not to let this person enter the house.
Lin Yan asked Lin's mother about this directly.
"I don't know if you've boasted, but I didn't go out to play these past two Sundays. I'm also hoping that they won't succeed. They're so greedy! They're not even college students, yet they dare to ask for so much from me. But don't mention this later. Once it's mentioned, Lin Yi will put on a dead face. That useless look is really an eye-opener."
Later, the cousin, uncle, and Xiao Gang's family of three arrived first. Lin's father clearly said that he would not accept gifts, so they didn't bring anything. When everyone has something to do, they don't accept gifts when they visit each other.
Uncle said to Fang Mingche and Lin Yan: "Congratulations! It's a great thing to be admitted to college now. You will definitely be assigned a good job in the future."
The two smiled and thanked him.
Uncle said: "Then you won't do your business after school starts?"
"I won't do the tea stall business anymore, and I can't do it anymore."
"Although it's a pity, going to college is the right way after all. Otherwise, no matter how much money you make, it's in vain."
Fang Mingche knew it. Uncle is like his biological father in his bones. Everything is inferior except reading. I still think that the job assigned after college is the right way.
My cousin said, "Xiao Gang, you will graduate soon. Go back and ask your cousin and brother-in-law for advice. Ask them how they got into college."
Xiao Gang also admired Fang Mingche. He knew that his cousin's husband took care of the children, set up a stall, and reviewed at the same time. In the end, he was admitted to Beijing Normal University!
Fang Mingche had a very good impression of his cousin's family. Just because they sent food coupons to A Yan, this favor must be remembered. What's more, his uncle later helped to make connections, allowing him to earn more than a thousand yuan.
So he said: "Nowadays, there is a great shortage of people who can learn English in society. If you have a talent for learning languages, you can focus on this. Opening up to the outside world definitely requires people who know foreign languages. English is the universal language! This New Year's Day, we officially established diplomatic relations with the United States, and with the United Kingdom before that. To learn from foreigners and defeat them, we also need to know their languages. The older generation of revolutionaries went abroad to work and study, and they all knew foreign languages. Even the Chairman, who never went abroad to study, took time to learn some English during the Long March and after the founding of the People's Republic of China."
Xiao Gang said: "We don't have English classes in high school because we don't have the teaching staff."
Now the first batch of people who were admitted to the English department have not graduated yet.
At the beginning, the foreign language that Chinese people learned was Russian, but it stopped in the 1960s. So now English talents are indeed scarce.
"That's why you say there is a shortage of English talents!"
Fang Mingche shared with Xiao Gang how he learned English.
"Anyway, if I hadn't had good English grades, I would definitely not have been able to get into Beijing Normal University. I just barely made it! I was able to study here only because I was transferred to the English Department."
He remembered that it was in 1985 that the relevant teaching talents were available, and middle schools dared to offer English courses nationwide. After that, the emphasis on English became more and more abnormal year by year! It's always right to be ahead of the curve in everything!
Xiao Gang nodded, thinking that what his cousin's husband said made sense. There will definitely be a great need for people to learn English in the future, and there is a gap now.
He has a radio. His cousin's husband also asked him to get English newspapers, magazines and other review materials. Then he can just buy an English dictionary first.
Fang Mingche said: "I guess it will be easier to subscribe to these materials if I get into the English Department of Beijing Normal University. If you need it, I will order one more copy for you."
"Okay."
Both of Xiao's parents are workers, and the Xiao family has saved some money. It is definitely not a waste to use it on review.
"But you still have to work hard on other subjects, and you have to get the total score on the line."
While talking, Lin Yan's aunt and her family also arrived.
My aunt's children were all arranged to work in the factory. Even if they were temporary workers at first, they would definitely be permanent workers if they had connections and there were vacancies in two years. My aunt is really good at handling things and building relationships.
Therefore, my aunt's children don't think much of Lin Yi. He can only take over and let my aunt retire early.
However, my aunt's family looked down on Lin Yi, but now they have a new respect for Lin Yan.
My aunt took Lin Yan's hand and said, "Our Yan is really amazing! Not only did she get into college, but she also got a son-in-law from a prestigious university."
Lin Yan got goose bumps. From childhood to adulthood, when had my aunt ever been so affectionate to her?
She still remembered that when she was tricked by her aunt to go on a blind date, she just got up and left. Later, my aunt looked at her ferocious look.
Uncle Wei and his family, who were good friends with Lin's father, also came. Lin's father originally planned to arrange for Fang Mingche to rent a bed in his house.
Lin's mother discussed with Lin's father, "Then this big round table should be arranged."
"Then we need two tables of dishes to be picked up."
Don't think about saving money on this matter.
As they were talking, Lin Yan's uncle, aunt and cousin Zhu Qiming also came.
Lin's father whispered, "Then let's have two square tables."
I don't know why my brother-in-law is so easy to talk to and polite today. But since they are here, we must not treat them badly. Even if they are just here for a meal.
Lin Yan's uncle is called Zhu Jiahui. As soon as he came and said hello, he said, "I say that the mother and daughter are really short-sighted. Now the best future is to get into college. Nephew-in-law, don't you think so?"
Fang Mingche nodded, "Uncle is right."
It was almost time for dinner, so everyone went to the nearby state-owned restaurant together.
Zhu Jiahui said to Lin's mother again: "Sister, if our Zhu family has a college student, our parents will be very happy if they know it."
Lin's mother smiled and said, "That's right. But whether you can get into college or not depends on yourself. Look at Lin Yi, he is very self-aware and knows that he can't get into college!" As soon as
her brother opened his mouth, she knew what he wanted to say. He wanted Lin Yan and Ming Che to tutor Qiming for college. Is college guaranteed to be admitted after tutoring?
If he passes the exam after tutoring, it will be the result of his own hard work; if he fails, it is very likely that the tutor is not competent.
Moreover, she has no control over her daughter and son-in-law now. Lin Yan has not listened to her since she went to the countryside. Now they are college students and earn much more money than herself. If she dares to make random arrangements, they will not visit for a long time.
"Sister, what are you talking about?"
"To be honest. If I can pass the exam with tutoring, I will force Lin Yi to work for his sister and brother-in-law. In exchange for their guidance when they are free."
Zhu Qiming knew that she was not disparaging her nephew. It was that he had nothing to eat and nothing to do!
If Qiming was sent to Ayan, wouldn't Ayan have to wash even his socks? Mingche would never agree!
When Qiming went to high school, he had to raise money because his scores were not high enough. The money was raised by his eldest and second aunts. But he went to high school with the money from his two aunts, so he looked down on Lin Yi who didn't go to high school.
Lin Yi repeatedly talked about this in front of her, and Lin's mother was not at all unconcerned. The main reason was that Lin Yi's grades were even worse at that time, and he knew it was useless to send him there.
But later, his brother insisted on sending him there, under the banner of borrowing, and the money has not been repaid yet. He has already been in the fourth year of high school! The next class will be directly in the fifth year of high school.
However, it was time for dinner, and Lin's mother didn't want to have a falling out. It was best to just let it go today. Her brother was really a badass, so she was just being perfunctory for fear that he would flip the table.
So she said, "Let's go have lunch first, and we'll talk after we eat."
She walked in front, along with Lin Yan and her daughter.
The aunt came over, "Third brother, what are you doing?"
"What? I want Qiming to follow A Yan and Xiao Fang, and let them tutor him. Let him take a repeat class and try."
"I heard that the university has to live on campus."
"Then they have a little girl, we can't just ignore her. So, are you planning to give her to the eldest sister to take care of?"
The aunt shook her head, "I don't know. But it's possible. But the eldest sister is no longer the eldest sister she used to be! After all, when people have their own small families, they will definitely take care of their own small families first. Don't mention it when we eat later, and talk about it after we come back after eating."
She still wanted to have a good meal in peace. She didn't want her brother to make a request during dinner, and then be rejected. It made it difficult for everyone to eat and drink freely.
But today, I didn't bring any gifts. I came here to eat and drink for free. My elder sister and her husband have always been frugal. Is it easy to have a good meal with them? So she brought her husband and children.
They don't need to take the college entrance examination, and they can't pass it. They should just go to work in the factory honestly.
However, my nephew chose to take the college entrance examination for the fourth time. She thinks it's good. Otherwise, my brother's wife will definitely come to pester me every day to arrange a job for my nephew.
How can a job be arranged nowadays? I have worked hard for my two children. Especially my nephew, who really can't do anything.
Fang Mingfeng has been watching coldly. Now that he has seen so much, he can't help but sigh: Every family has its own problems! Fortunately, my brother's wife rarely goes back to her parents' home! The key is that Mingche will definitely not be controlled by his mother-in-law.
Just as the group was walking towards the state-owned restaurant, Han Mei also arrived.
"Lin Yi, I'm here to congratulate my sister and brother-in-law."
Lin Yi was so happy, "Let's go, let's go eat first."
Han Mei greeted Lin's father, Lin's mother, Lin Yan and Fang Mingche openly, "Uncle, aunt, sister, brother-in-law--"
In this situation, Lin's father, Lin Yan and Fang Mingche could only smile.
Only Lin's mother said, "It's been a long time since we last met. I thought you and Lin Yi had broken up."
Han Mei didn't say anything, just followed quietly. Originally, she was going to break up. But didn't I hear that Lin Yi's sister and brother-in-law were admitted to college? His brother-in-law was admitted to a famous university. After this, the class is different! All of a sudden, the Lin family has become much more important.
So, his parents learned from their acquaintances in the state-owned restaurant that the Lin family had booked a table for a graduation banquet today, and they quickly sent her over.
During this period, her parents also asked someone to introduce her to a partner. But although she is a high school student, she does not have a formal job. This is a big minus! Moreover, she has two younger brothers.
After searching for a long time, there is no one who is better than Lin Yi. After all, Lin Yi is young, tall, handsome, and has a formal job!
Her parents scolded her for not being able to get into college. Can everyone get into college? One hundred people entered the examination room, but less than four passed.
Lin Yi's sister was able to pass the junior high school entrance examination, which must be thanks to her brother-in-law's tutoring. Otherwise, how could it be so easy?
Moreover, Lin Yi's sister took the exam three times in a row. Her parents didn't even let her repeat the year.
Everyone walked to the state-owned restaurant. Knowing that two people in the family had passed the college entrance examination, a graduation banquet was held. The waiters who used to be arrogant became much more polite and even said congratulations.
For the first time, everyone felt the novelty of service from them.
After everyone sat down, they sat at two large square tables. The dishes had been ordered before, according to two tables. There were many hard dishes and big dishes. It was obvious that they were treating everyone sincerely. I'm afraid that there was not much left from Lin's father's monthly salary. It was too expensive!
In the interval between serving the dishes, Qin Na, the daughter of Lin Yan's aunt, said: "Cousin, you did so well in the exam. You were sure before the exam, right?"
Fang Mingche shook his head, "No. If I was sure of passing the college entrance examination, would I divorce your cousin first and then remarry her, and make it so complicated? It was because I was worried that she would not pass the exam that I let her follow the crowd and return to the city to get a Beijing residence first. It is not easy to transfer a Beijing residence now. It is only easy to do if there is a big policy."
This was a real statement, and everyone nodded after hearing it.
Fang Mingfeng recalled that his cousin was quite efficient in selling his job. So he was not sure about it? However, he went to Beijing after making money from selling electronic watches twice, and he was very determined. He
was beaten for this. He even suffered a lot of scorn from his uncle. Even his own father disliked him during that time, saying that he had means to use against outsiders!
Now it seems that his cousin was very courageous at the time. He was not afraid that the fake divorce would become a real divorce.
These days, everyone is poor. When the dishes were served, they said a few words, but when the dishes were served, they all buried their heads and started to eat bitterly.
Only Fang Mingche's family of three and Fang Mingfeng had eaten in century-old restaurants during this period. He was relatively polite when he picked up the chopsticks.
Today, there are two tables for men and women. Yanyan sat at the women's table with her mother. Fang Mingfeng sat at the men's table with Fang Mingche.
Fang Mingche saw that his father-in-law wanted to say a few words, but everyone was just focused on eating. He felt a little awkward holding the wine glass for a moment.
He quickly raised the glass, "Dad, I toast you! Thank you for entrusting your daughter to me."
Father Lin clinked glasses with him, "It is a blessing for our Lin family to find a son-in-law like you. I heard some rumors before and misunderstood you. But I am very grateful that you let A Yan return to Beijing. Then you immediately brought your daughter to chase you, which is worthy of her undying love for you."
Everyone slowed down the speed of eating.
The aunt also pulled Zhu Qiming's sleeve twice, asking him not to just focus on eating. His cousin's husband is talking, listen. Moreover, his uncle paid so much money today. Basic respect should still be shown.
Zhu Qiming then put down his hand that was clamped on the big pork trotter.
Fang Mingfeng looked at his cousin, misunderstanding, what misunderstanding?
Fang Mingche whispered: "I don't know who went back to Beijing and said that I arranged that second-rate guy."
Fang Mingfeng stared and immediately said: "Uncle, there is absolutely no such thing!" He couldn't say more.
The situation of the educated youth at that time was so bad. Many of them married local people in order to live a good life and work less.
His cousin was in his prime and had a formal job, so was it necessary to be so mean? This needs to be made clear.
Father Lin nodded, "Yes, my son-in-law is so outstanding, why do I need to use those means? Okay, everyone eat and drink as much as you want. We eat happily, just to celebrate for them!"
Everyone ate as much as they wanted, and when they left the table, many people felt particularly satisfied.
Seeing this, my uncle's family was not in a hurry to go to Fang Mingche to get the English review materials. Goodbye first!
The lunch was eaten up cleanly, and there was no need to pack it up. This also means that there will be no more dinner in the evening.
Who can afford to treat us to two meals in a row nowadays? The money is not picked up by bending down.
My aunt's family also said goodbye directly at the state-owned restaurant. They came here just to eat.
"Sister, brother-in-law, now that the son and daughter have grown up and the granddaughter can help, it's time to take a break and enjoy the fruits of their labor. We'll eat and leave first."
Whatever trouble the uncle will cause later has nothing to do with their family. They won't get involved!
Uncle Wei's family also left after eating.
"Ayan, Xiaofang, come and sit down when you have time."
"Okay, Uncle Wei."
So, the last ones to go back were the Lin family, including Han Mei, and the uncle's family of three. And Lin Yan's family of three and Fang Mingfeng.
There are only 28 square meters, and there is no room for many people. Otherwise, how can we say that it is wise for Lin's father to choose to entertain guests outside? It's just that the cost is relatively high.
After returning and sitting down, Lin Yan poured a cup of tea for her father, her uncle, Fang Mingche, and Fang Mingfeng, "Come, drink some tea, it will lighten the smell of alcohol."
Han Mei also helped enthusiastically. In the past, she always acted like a delicate guest when she came to the Lin family, and she would not take action. That didn't make sense to order someone else's daughter before entering the door.
But Lin Yan really didn't like her in her heart. I don't know what kind of magic potion she had fed her brother.
So the men and women were ready to chat separately.
Uncle Zhu Jiahui said: "Ayan, elder sister, you also sit down and listen. Whose feudal rules are women supposed to stand aside? Elder sister, you have a nephew with the same surname, you have to take care of this college entrance examination, right?"
Lin's mother said: "Yes, that's right, Qiming and I have the same surname. But I am still Lin Yi's biological mother, I can't even control Lin Yi. By the way, Xiao Han, do you want to repeat the year?"
Han Mei said: "My parents said that the rate of passing the repeat exam is still so low. Save the money for your brothers to study."
Lin Yi looked over, Mom, you are my biological mother, right? If she gets into college, how can it be my turn?
Lin's mother said: "In fact, you can try again. Otherwise, you won't be unwilling, right?"
It seems that she is destined to enter the Lin family. That will make her have some opinions about her parents, and she won't be so sincere in caring about her parents' family in the future. Moreover, she was mainly trying to change the subject.
I hope my brothers won't make themselves unhappy. Her son-in-law is not easy to handle! The key is that A Yan will not side with them.
Mother Lin said as she stood up and took the teapot in. What if she breaks it? Don't you want to buy it back for free?
Han Mei thought about it and was unwilling to give up. But she was a little short of the mark, so her hope of repeating the exam was not great. Otherwise, she would definitely ask to repeat the exam.
She asked Zhu Qiming, "How many points did you get?"
Zhu Qiming applied, but he didn't even get half of the mark.
Han Mei was stunned. Why repeat the exam with such a low score? This is just throwing money down the drain.
Fang Mingche said, "Uncle, don't repeat the exam in this situation. The difference is too big! Even if the admission rate is gradually increased, it is only less than 6% after all. If the total score is less than half, there is no hope for repeating the exam."
This year is the first year of unified national questions, and a total of 4.68 million candidates entered the examination room nationwide. In the end, 280,000 people were admitted!
Zhu Jiahui said, "Then you can't tutor him, tutor him?"
Fang Mingche said, "I can't turn stone into gold."
"You"
Lin Yi laughed in a muffled voice. His brother-in-law was just short of saying that a rotten tree cannot be carved!
Zhu Jiahui glared at him and said, "What are you making strange noises here? My eldest nephew's son-in-law, why don't you give it a try? Tutor him well. If he fails the exam, your uncle will never blame you."
Fang Mingche saw that even after talking to this point, the family still refused to give up. He
simply said, "I haven't learned about the fees for one-on-one tutoring for BNU students. Let's talk about it later."
His aunt immediately said, "What, you still want to charge money?"
"That's strange, why shouldn't I charge money? My last name is Fang, and his last name is Zhu. Even in ancient times, people still gave tuition to private school teachers. Do you know what tuition is? It's just bacon! I can earn so much money in the same amount of time, why not charge? I tutored people in English and directly charged 400 yuan. By the way, speaking of this, uncle and aunt, when are you going to pay back the money you owe to my parents-in-law? We agreed to borrow it at the beginning, and we can't borrow without paying it back. With your credibility in money, I won't accept students. Pay off the money you owe first and then talk about other things!"
Lin Yi nodded repeatedly, that is, pay the money first!
Zhu Jiahui turned to look at his sister and brother-in-law.
Mother Lin spread her hands and said, "I've retired. I can't say anything about family matters. You can see that my family is in need of money."
Judging from the situation, the betrothal gift will be given soon. Although it won't be three turns and one ring, it still needs to be given.
If the brother and sister-in-law can really pay back the money, he will have more confidence at home.
Father Lin just closed his eyes and pretended to fall asleep. The brother-in-law is a scoundrel! He just bullies him for face.
"Sister, the second sister never asked me to pay back the money. You are all surnamed Zhu. You paid for the Zhu family to train college students. Isn't this what you should share?"
Aunt also said, "Yes, it was agreed to be given. Qiming, let's go home!"
The family of three ran away.
When they arrived at the door of the slum, the uncle spat, "There is only money in your eyes. Are you obsessed with money?"
Fang Mingche frowned, "Do you believe I will let you swallow it back?"
He said as he pretended to walk out.
"You dare--" This time, the uncle ran even faster. His wife and children followed.
It was just that he had eaten a lot at noon, so it was a bit uncomfortable to run.
Fang Mingche picked up the broom at the door and handed it to Lin Yi, "Go and clean the door. Don't leave it there to disgust people!"
"Oh, okay." Lin Yi was obedient this time and immediately went out with the broom.
