Chapter 123 Getting mad at Zhu
The family of three finished their meal. Fang Mingche looked around, then put away the dishes and chopsticks, stacked them together, and took them to the sink to wash. What
he actually bought was a single-pot side dish, not a big pot dish. Because he didn't bring a lunch box. Only single-pot stir-fry dishes are provided with dishes and chopsticks.
This requires washing and placing them in designated places. There is no such position as dishwasher in university cafeterias nowadays.
This involves buying daily necessities such as lunch boxes if he wants to eat at school. Let's go to the dormitory first to see which things are distributed and which ones need to be bought by himself.
On this first day of registration, females can enter the male dormitory, and males can also enter the female dormitory. It is convenient for parents to send their children. Lin Yan and Yanyan followed in openly.
Fang Mingche only brought a small suitcase and carried it with one hand. Seeing that his daughter's short legs were slow to move, she was blocking others from going up and down the stairs. So he waited for her to go up three steps and picked her up with his other hand.
Lin Yan was paying attention to what others had bought, and saw this and said, "Let me hold her."
"It's okay, it's not heavy. Just pay attention to the house number."
Fang Mingche's dormitory number is No. 14 on the 4th floor. The two of them went all the way and found that more than half of the people in the dormitory had arrived. As
soon as Fang Mingche entered the room, he saw a middle-aged woman tearing off the note with his name on it from the lower bunk by the window, preparing to move him to the upper bunk near the door.
He immediately said, "Comrade, I don't agree to exchange beds with your student."
In fact, he didn't see the whole thing, only saw the word Fang, but it didn't matter if he made a mistake. Anyway, he would never give up his bed by the window and on the lower bunk.
Why should I give it to you? Because you are quick, because you have a mother who tore off other people's names on paper for you? After Fang Mingche finished speaking, he went over and put his daughter on his original bed and sat down.
The middle-aged woman was caught on the spot, and other students and parents looked over, feeling a little embarrassed.
"Classmates should help each other."
Fang Mingche said, "You tore off the paper with my name on it privately and changed my bed without my consent. What kind of mutual help is this?"
It is his duty to take care of his parents, wife and children in this life. The only one who can take advantage of him for nothing is Fang Minghua. There is nothing he can do about it. He has a father and a mother. He helped me fight with outsiders when I was a child! But for others, let alone doors and windows!
For others, it is at most an exchange of interests. Sometimes you have to suffer a little loss, and there is nothing you can do about it. After all, many things cannot be quantified at all. But he must have decided to exchange after weighing it.
A boy who looked like a fresh graduate pulled the sleeve of the middle-aged woman, and then smiled apologetically at Fang Mingche.
Fang Mingche shook his head and said nothing more. Why did he come here to express his apology now? If he hadn't caught him in the act, this classmate would probably have given him the bed reluctantly.
There are many people in the room now. It was originally an eight-person room with four bunk beds. Including Fang Mingche, there were five people in total. They probably all came up after lunch. So they were all gathered in a time period.
There was also a large square table in the middle, which was used for reading. There were eight drawers for storing things. Lin Yan had already opened the one that belonged to Fang Mingche and looked at it. This one was arranged according to the position of the bed. Then she looked at the closets next to it.
There were also eight closets, one for each person. It was first come first served. The second and third compartments in the middle of both sides were already occupied. These four compartments were convenient for taking things.
She stood on tiptoe and opened the top closet in the direction of Fang Mingche's bed. Fang Mingche was 1.8 meters tall, so this would not be too tall for him. Anyway, it would be a bit cramped for him to use the bottom one. She stood on tiptoe and put the small box that Fang Mingche brought in. There were only a few sets of clothes in it, which were very light.
Then she took out a notebook and recorded it: padlock. These were the daily necessities that needed to be purchased later.
Yanyan had already taken off her shoes and climbed onto the bed. "Dad, the beds here are upstairs and downstairs." She felt a little fresh.
"Well, all the dormitories for college students are like this."
The middle-aged woman said, "It's not allowed to bring children to live in this dormitories."
Lin Yan said, "Today is the first day. Auntie, you can come. My daughter and I can come too. We have another place to live in the capital, and we won't live here."
Ming Che's roommates looked like some were in their thirties, while some were fresh graduates in their teens. The age gap was quite large. He was twenty-four or twenty-five, and he was a link between the past and the future.
The middle-aged woman wanted to say something. After hearing Lin Yan say that she had another place to live in the capital, and seeing that she was well dressed, she didn't argue with her.
After all, in the capital, a brick falling down could hit a department-level official. It's better not to offend someone rashly if you don't know the foundation.
The palm mat, mattress, bed sheet, quilt cover, and mosquito net on the bed were all prepared. It was said that they were made by the student union. The student union of this year will also help the freshmen to prepare them for the next year. It's a tradition of the school. There is also another set of clean sheets, quilt cover, and a thick quilt on the bed.
Fang Mingche also took this set to the closet and put it away, then he put his daughter to bed. The pillowcases were all new, and the school certainly couldn't afford to wash all the students. But, let's make do. When there's nothing else to do on the train, you can just make do with whatever you can.
"Please everyone try to be quiet, my daughter has to take a nap every day at a certain time."
The two boys who were close said, "Okay! The little girl is very cute."
Fang Mingche took out a folding fan and opened it to fan his daughter. It was mainly to drive away mosquitoes, and there were quite a lot of mosquitoes in this room. It was not easy for his daughter to be so white and plump. He didn't want her to have some red spots of mosquito bites on her body.
Lin Yan also sat on the edge of his bed, taking a pen and constantly writing down the things she thought she needed to buy in her notebook.
The older man in his thirties next to him even brought over his own notes, "I went to buy it this morning. You can refer to it."
He also has a daughter, who is twelve years old. Seeing Fang Mingche fanning his daughter and driving away mosquitoes at this moment, he accidentally aroused the fatherly feelings.
Lin Yan smiled and thanked him, and took it for reference.
Yan Yan had nothing to worry about. She fell asleep almost immediately after lying down, unaffected by the environment. While she was sleeping, two classmates and their parents who lived in the capital left school and went home. There were two others, who should be from other places.
The older man in his thirties was called Cheng Guangzhi, an old educated youth who came from other places. He arrived in the capital yesterday and slept directly in the waiting room of the train station at night.
There is another Xu Mengfei who is from the countryside like Fang Mingche, and this is the third time he passed the exam.
After Lin Yan took over fanning her daughter, Fang Mingche chatted with her two roommates.
When Fang Mingche heard that Cheng Guangzhi responded to the call and took the initiative to go to the countryside in 1962, he couldn't help but say, "Brother, you really have taken root in the countryside. For a full 17 years!"
Cheng Guangzhi said, "It's nothing to adapt. I have settled down in the countryside. Now I am taking the college entrance examination not only to fulfill my dream when I was young, but also for the future of my children."
Fang Mingche nodded, "That's the truth. How old is your eldest son?"
"My eldest son is 16! He was born when I was 21."
Lin Yan thought to herself, that is, he got married when he went to the countryside. Educated youth were still rare in those days. It is estimated that the daughter of a village cadre took a fancy to him and made a bold move.
Xu Mengfei said, "In a few years, won't you be a grandfather? By the way, the guy who always had his mother to take care of everything seems to be 16 years old."
He is three years younger than Fang Mingche, and was only 19 when the college entrance examination was resumed. He is also a bit outspoken.
Fang Mingche exhaled. The college students in the three years before the resumption of the college entrance examination should have the largest age difference and the most diverse backgrounds.
Xu Mengfei said, "I heard that there are really girls who bring their children to school in the girls' dormitory. They are only one or two years old, and there may be no one to take care of them at home. But living in the dormitory is still a bit inconvenient."
The male comrades should not bring their children to school.
The three people casually asked about the origin of their names. Fang Mingche said, "I was given the name by the old man according to the generation name. The cousins of the same family are all over the village. Only the last character is different."
When Xu Mengfei mentioned that he was almost called Xu Menglu, Fang Mingche was caught off guard and laughed.
Xu Mengfei said, "I knew it. Anyone who knows Monroe would definitely react this way. Especially since I was transferred to the English Department. Fortunately, a cousin of mine had already taken this name."
Cheng Guangzhi obviously didn't understand, and Lin Yan didn't seem to understand the joke. She asked, "Mingche, what are you laughing at?"
Fang Mingche quickly said seriously, "Oh, Monroe is an American movie star."
Xu Mengfei looked at him and didn't reveal that Monroe was a sexy American actress.
After a while, Yanyan woke up. Lying with her eyes closed, she said, "Dad, I'm awake."
Both classmates, whether they had children or not, looked at Fang Mingche. The mother of the child is here, why is she calling you? Are you responsible for taking care of the children in your family?
Fang Mingche went over to help his daughter, who had her eyes closed, sit up, and gently stroked her back to make her feel at ease and sleep.
Lin Yan stood up and said, "I didn't spend some time with my daughter because I went back to the city. So now she is closer to her father than to me."
It's not that she is not jealous! However, this cause and effect is caused by herself.
One of them was an old educated youth, and the other was from the countryside. As soon as they heard this, they understood it immediately. It turned out that they had faked a divorce in order to return to the city.
Xu Mengfei said, "Why do you have to go through so much trouble? You can return to the city after you pass the college entrance examination."
Lin Yan said, "I took the exam twice before, but failed. This time, to be safe, let me go back to the city to get my household registration."
Xu Mengfei said sincerely, "Then it's rare that you two didn't get separated. In this situation in our village, everyone would get separated."
Cheng Guangzhi looked at Xu Mengfei who was outspoken. Is there anyone who talks like this?
Yanyan slowly came to her senses, "Dad, I need to pee."
"Let's go downstairs. Let's go now! Just bear it--"
There is no female toilet in the boys' dormitory. Fang Mingche carried his daughter and went downstairs in two steps.
Lin Yan quickly picked up her things, nodded goodbye to her two roommates, and chased after her.
When she got downstairs, she saw Fang Mingche standing not far outside the female toilet. Lin Yan handed the things to him, "Go away, the female classmates will think you are sick if they see you." She went in to see her daughter.
"Oh." Fang Mingche didn't want to stand guard at the door. But what if Yanyan called him from inside and he didn't hear it.
After taking care of his daughter, she washed her face with the small towel she brought and even combed her hair again. Lin Yan took her out.
The family of three went to the supply and marketing cooperative branch in the university to buy things. Nowadays, universities are not commercialized at all. Unlike universities in later generations, which have commercial streets, the storefronts are all occupied by relatives of school leaders and department leaders.
Lin Yan looked down on the things here, "Why don't we go out and buy them. Look at these slippers, there is no choice at all. It turns out that Lao Cheng and Xiao Xu bought theirs here."
After she had money in her pocket, she often went to places like Friendship Store and Overseas Chinese Shopping Mall. Unconsciously, her vision has become higher.
"Forget it, just follow the crowd. Besides, I only live on campus occasionally, and I don't need it very often. Buy everything and take it to the dormitory, then go to your school. Find your dormitory first and see where the bed is. I almost had my bed replaced without knowing it. I don't know what will happen if I go too late." It's
a bit far to ride to Capital Normal College. But fortunately, I went to the scrap yard some time ago, and I went back and forth 20 kilometers every day. I'm not afraid of this distance now.
Lin Yan thought about her bed. She didn't want the lower bunk to become the upper bunk, so she nodded.
The two of them bought washbasins, towels, mouthwash cups, toothbrushes, etc. here in one stop. Then Fang Mingche took it to the dormitory and locked his things in the drawers and closets. Put the slippers under the bed.
He said to his two roommates: "Are you going to Tiananmen Square tomorrow?"
Cheng Guangzhi nodded, "I plan to."
After finishing the work today, he really wants to see Tiananmen Square tomorrow.
"Then if you go to Dashilan and see a handicraft cooperative, you can ask them where Fang Mingche's home is. My home is only one kilometer away from the square, and you are welcome to come and play."
"Okay."
After saying goodbye, Fang Mingche went downstairs to meet up with the mother and daughter.
This time Yanyan took her mother's car. Only the small rattan chair in her mother's car had a sunshade roof. She often ran in and out with them, and her body was very strong. There was no need to worry about getting heat stroke or something like that.
Children of Fang Fang's age would still be picking jasmine flowers in the fields during the hottest hours from 2 to 4 in the afternoon. The sun was shining that day, and the heat was rising from the ground. Fang Mingche and Lin Yan had both experienced that feeling, and it was really not a good feeling. Therefore, they did not raise Yanyan to be too delicate.
The three of them arrived at the Capital Normal University at about 3 o'clock in the afternoon, and they actually finished most of the work after a busy schedule.
They only had time to confirm the location of the remaining dormitories, and then occupied the closets and drawers.
This time, Lin Yan also had a closet in a bad location. The high cabinets had to move a stool over when they needed to take something.
And there were not one stool per person, but two long stools. When they needed to use it, others had to give up their seats, or ask them to stand up and make way.
So, if she had a choice, she chose a low one. This way, when she needed to use it, she could just squat down. As for buying things, she would come back tomorrow afternoon.
They would gather to discuss things tomorrow night, and she would come to buy things then. She would stay at school for one night first.
As for Yanyan, she will be with her father tomorrow night. Fang Mingche will prepare to ride back after gathering. He will send her and Niuniu to school the day after tomorrow, and then he will rush to school.
All arrangements will be made after getting the class schedule tomorrow night. But there should be nothing to do on the first day of school. Dinner will naturally be eaten in the cafeteria of Capital Normal University.
Lin Yan will be responsible for serving food tonight. Yanyan said, "Will we meet Uncle Gao?"
Fang Mingche said, "The possibility is very small. Look at so many people in a university. Besides, he may have gone home after registering."
Lao Gao still borrowed a bicycle to ride here today. When he saw that he had bought another bicycle, he looked very envious.
Tomorrow, the 31st, Lao Gao will go to the scrap station to do the accounting. For now, it is ten yuan per time! For the current running account, he only needs to go once a month.
It is said that Lin Yan can do the accounting. But Fang Mingche doesn't just want Lao Gao to do the accounting of the scrap station. He has other plans. Lao Gao is now reading accounting books on his own, preparing for the qualification certificate. Political economy, politics and economics are one, Lao Gao is also a professional.
Fang Mingche told Lin Yan, "Let Lao Gao do the accounting for your business and my business at the same time."
As for what other businesses he is optimistic about, he has not said it for the time being.
After eating two bites, Yan Yan nodded, and Lin Yan smiled and asked, "Is the food in Dad's school cafeteria delicious, or the food in Mom's school cafeteria delicious?"
"Both are delicious."
Fang Mingche smiled, "Do you have to carry water for this?"
"Huh?" Yan Yan didn't quite understand the meaning of the word carrying water here. Although she often does this.
If someone asks her whether Dad or Mom is better, she will answer uniformly: Dad and Mom are good!
After eating, there is no more sun, so Lin Yan doesn't need to carry her daughter anymore. Riding so far a day, it is a bit tiring to carry her daughter all the time.
The two rode home, and Lin Yan said, "I'm really tired today. Go home and take a shower quickly, I'm going to rest."
As soon as I entered the door, Xiao Xie came over to pick up the eggs. Liu Qingfeng brought them back and put them in the small room.
"Do you know who came to the compound today?"
Lin Yan asked, "Didn't you also go with your teacher Gao to register? How do you know who came?"
Xiao Xie didn't come to pick up eggs last night just to go to the Normal University with Teacher Gao to register. She also went to announce to the world that her husband was married. For this, she even talked to her mother-in-law in advance. So early in the morning, Teacher Gao took her to the Capital Normal University on a borrowed bicycle.
"We just signed up and came back in the afternoon. We heard the commotion when we came back."
Lin Yan raised her eyebrows, "Look at your expression, does it have anything to do with us?"
"You can say that it was the cousin of Zhu Dahai's uncle who came. He has been living at his uncle's house and harvesting vegetables for more than ten days. He came here today to see how much he can earn by doing this and asked for a share."
Fang Mingche said, "Didn't he give it to him before?"
"I heard that he just bought some gifts like sugar. But it was okay those first and second times. He has been living at their house for more than ten days harvesting vegetables. Even if he is his real uncle or cousin, he would still be worried. This guy is stingy to everyone and wants all the money to go into his own pocket."
Lin Yan said, "How was it resolved in the end?"
"It is said that his uncle and cousin asked for a 30-70 split. Otherwise, they would not agree that he would continue to use their place as his base. After all, if he is caught, they will be in trouble."
The situation now is not as strict as before, but it is impossible to say that there is no risk at all. After all, many people still cannot see the way forward.
Fang Mingche rented the scrap yard, and the rent was directly deposited into the village collective account. Everyone in the village has a share! And the families who sell vegetables and eggs to them almost cover the entire village.
At most, your family has enough eggs in the next two days, and you send them. In two days, I will send them when my family has enough. As for vegetables, sometimes they are more concentrated. But it is a benefit that every household has a share.
Fang Mingche said: "He agreed?"
"He had to agree. Otherwise, if he went somewhere else, people would not let him do such a thing for nothing. I heard that he used to make ten yuan a day, but now it has been reduced to a few yuan a day. Moreover, getting up at four or five in the morning to collect vegetables is also tiring. I can't bear this hardship!"
Hu Yong and others came over and talked about this, and said that they felt that Zhu Dahai might not have sorted out something before. They can earn 100 to 80 yuan a month as vegetable vendors.
I tried to ask Zhu Dahai about the price a few days ago. He said he picked the vegetables right in the morning and shipped them immediately, and his price had to be higher than Teacher Lin's. The four people didn't go
to him for wholesale. Zhu Dahai was still telling them yesterday that he was willing to give them a little profit. As a result, someone came to him again today because of uneven distribution. I always feel that Zhu Dahai's business is not very reliable.
Today, Aunt Yuan was a little angry. Fortunately, the door of the slum was closed and the trouble didn't spread outside. The people in the slum also have a sense of collective honor and didn't tell anyone outside.
If this is publicized, they won't be able to become an excellent slum this year. There are no certificates and a small amount of bonus at the end of the year. Obviously, there are three college students this year, which is a big plus.
Fang Mingche said: "He has no experience, it will be fine when he has experience in the future. But getting up at four or five o'clock every day to pick vegetables is tiring enough. Now that 30% of the profits have been distributed to my uncle's family, there should be someone who can help share the burden."
Speaking of which, Zhu Dahai is really a hard-working person. However, he always wants to steal Hu Yong and the other three away, which is also a trouble. Fang Mingche decided to talk to him tomorrow. Did he really think that he learned other people's business for nothing and could do whatever he wanted?
That night, the couple paid for the vegetables and eggs and went to bed. This is why one of them must be at home every day.
The next day, Lin Yan and Teacher Gao rode their bikes to the scrap yard to settle the accounts. In the afternoon, the two of them could ride their bikes directly to school together.
Teacher Gao had to come back in the evening. Because his bike was borrowed, he had to return it to the owner. The owner still needs to use it.
Before leaving in the morning, Xiao Xie calculated the mileage he would ride today, "You have already ridden 30 kilometers. How about this, I will try to save 30 yuan a month. In this way, I can save up a bicycle ticket in two months and have 10 yuan left. In another half a year, we can buy a bicycle."
Before she didn't have her income, Teacher Gao's money was just enough to cover living expenses and Gao's mother's medical expenses. There are ways to use more money and ways to use less money. Now just treat her as if she still has no income.
If you don't hurry up to buy this bicycle, the money will have to be spent sooner or later. In the end, you can't even find out where it went.
Gao's mother naturally fully supports her daughter-in-law saving money to buy a bicycle for her son. How can you borrow money from others every time?
Teacher Gao nodded, "Well, thank you for your hard work."
Xiao Xie said, "Maybe, I can try to borrow money from Teacher Lin to buy you a bicycle, and then pay them 30 every month. They should agree. You and I are working for them now."
Teacher Gao didn't want to owe anyone a favor. After all, his family was in such a situation that he had borrowed from all the families who could lend him money. Almost no one was willing to lend him money again!
But if it was Xiao Fang and Teacher Lin, it seemed that they wouldn't have to be so embarrassed.
"Well, let's give it a try. If they are embarrassed, they will directly refuse. If they are not embarrassed, then we can borrow it first. If Teacher Lin's bike is not a women's bike, I can be her driver."
Xiao Xie said, "You are so beautiful that Teacher Fang is worried."
Teacher Gao laughed, "I think Xiao Lin is more worried. Didn't you see that Xiao Fang's bike had a seat for Yanyan on it when he went to register yesterday? A college student rides a bike with a child seat all day long, so he has no chance of finding love."
"That depends on Teacher Fang's willingness."
The two had just finished talking when they saw Fang Mingche walking directly to the courtyard.
Then his unkind voice sounded, "Zhu Dahai, come out for a moment."
Zhu Dahai had just sold today's goods wholesale to a few educated youths who had returned to the city. He came out with some confusion, "What's the matter?"
Fang Mingche said, "What's the matter? You went to find Hu Yong and the other four and said you could give them a discount. Is that true?"
Zhu Dahai hesitated and nodded, "Yes."
Fang Mingche said, "You learned my family's business and felt at ease. I haven't found fault with you, have I? Now you are going even further and poaching my subordinates? Do you really think I am good-tempered and can be bullied at will?"
Zhu Dahai sneered, as if to say, what can you do to me? We are all engaged in speculation and profiteering, and the eldest brother doesn't talk about the second brother. Can you still sue me?
Fang Mingche said, "Yes, I can't cause trouble to you through official channels. However, I can organize all the educated youth who have returned to the city nearby, and I can lend them money to do wholesale business of vegetables and eggs in the village. Didn't you start with 200 yuan? If it doesn't work, you can fight with me. Whoever wins has the final say!"
"You"
"Yes, I spent money and effort to organize other people to do this business, killing 800 enemies and losing 1,000 of my own. But I'm not just doing this business. I can afford to lose! Can you afford to lose?"
Xiao Xie was watching from the window in the house, "Zhu Dahai is indeed at fault in this matter. He didn't pay the tuition, and he copied everything. He also tried every means to dig Hu Yong and the other four over."
There are four people who are more loyal to Teacher Lin. She, Sister Cui, and the two from the big courtyard next door. And Hu Yong and the other four have been buying goods from Teacher Lin all the time.
Zhu Dahai has done this, but Teacher Fang still hasn't responded at all. It's really unacceptable.
As she spoke, she looked inside. Teacher Gao said, "Don't look. Aunt Yuan was just called out by Xiao Fang. I don't think she will be back for a while."
This is easy to do. Just give some benefits to an old lady in the compound.
Zhu Dahai backed down when he heard this. He really couldn't afford to lose.
Looking at the muscles on Fang Mingche's arms, he might not be able to win in a fight. Last time someone came to trouble Teacher Gao, Fang Mingche stepped forward, and it was obvious that he was not easy to mess with.
Fang Mingche practiced boxing and kicking kung fu on the sandbag under the tree in the small side yard every morning, and he saw it all.
"Then what do you want to do?"
"You can develop your downline yourself, and I won't interfere with you. But if you come to dig my downline, I won't be polite."
"Okay, it's a deal!"
Fang Mingche turned around and looked for Song Quan, "Look at this person you introduced to me!"
At first, it was Song Quan who brought him water, and Uncle Gu introduced him. Later, the handicraft cooperative did a good job thanks to the stalls in Tiananmen Square. Song Quan no longer had to find a part-time job. He recommended Zhu Dahai.
Zhu Dahai, he is indeed good at doing things. But he is not a very authentic person! This is enough to prove that Uncle Gu has a much better eye for people than Song Quan.
Song Quan was a little embarrassed when Fang Mingche came to his door. After a while, he said, "It's because you gave him a high salary to go back to his hometown to take the college entrance examination, which made him itch."
Fang Mingche said to Zhu Dahai's window, "I will help Liu Qingfeng and Geng Shan grow step by step, and I won't let them earn less than Zhu Dahai."
The two are now preparing to leave. I came out just now to see if there is any need for help, but they were not used. Now I am very happy to hear this.
"Thank you, Teacher Fang!"
Starting tomorrow, they will be the ones who get commissions. It's not like Zhu Dahai's case, either he suppresses one problem or another.
Zhu Dahai's case is indeed suppressing one problem and another, which is quite troublesome.
Now the village party secretary wants them to hand over a sum of money, otherwise they will not be allowed to do that in the village. It is obviously something that their villagers will also benefit from.
They make more money from doing business, but they do have more troubles.
After the uncle and nephew discussed it, they had to give 20% of the profit to the village. At first, they gave 10%, but the party secretary did not agree. It's really annoying, they ask for help here and there.
With this calculation, his profit is much thinner. He is not much better than Hu Yong and others, and he is so tired.
Why didn't so many people ask for his hand when Fang Mingche was doing it?
Fang Mingche and Zhu Dahai reached an agreement and went home to carry their daughter with a backpack to her exclusive seat.
"Let's go, our Fang Shuyan is going to sign up."
Yanyan nodded, "I'm going to sign up." From now on, she will have something to do every day.
Because they had communicated in advance, Yanyan's registration went smoothly. It's just that she has to bring her small quilt and pillow for nap from home.
Yanyan patted her backpack and said, "Dad, I want this color."
"Ah, is this your aesthetic? Or did you hear someone say it?"
Yanyan thought about it with some doubts, but couldn't remember.
"I think I heard someone say it. Let's go to the store opened by the armed forces to buy it."
Ayan also had to go shopping in the afternoon, but it was impossible to inform her to buy Yanyan's things and bring them back at the last minute.
Besides, it will be used tomorrow at noon.
The father and daughter went to buy it and came back. Yanyan said, "The teacher said to embroider the name on it so it's easy to recognize."
Fang Mingche was in a dilemma, he couldn't embroider. Ah Yan could do this job. But she wasn't at home and wouldn't be back tonight.
He wanted to save trouble and write with a brush. But what to do when he washes it?
So he had to take the quilt up to find Xiao Xie and ask her to embroider it. With so many students in a class, it's really possible to encounter the same one.
Xiao Xie agreed readily, "You write it with a pencil first, and then I'll embroider it according to the outline. Otherwise, I'm afraid my handwriting won't look good." Then he found Teacher Gao's pencil.
Fang Mingche wrote the three words Fang Shuyan in a moderate size at the top of the quilt.
Xiao Xie said, "You scholars are amazing. You all come up with such nice names. Shu Yan, Shu Yan, how nice it sounds!"
Fang Mingche said, "Actually, it was named after the meaning of her mother's name. Her mother's name is Yan, which means smiling sweetly. Her uncle's name is Yi, which also means happy. Her name is Shu Yan, which means smiling."
Xiao Xie nodded, "Yeah, that's a good meaning. I'll embroider it now and bring it to you when it's done."
"Will it delay your selling eggs?"
"It's okay. The sun is strong now and I wasn't going out anyway. I can embroider while cooking, and it will be done quickly."
Fang Mingche was too lazy to cook at noon, so he took Yan Yan to Cui's house for a meal.
Sister Cui came to serve the dishes happily, "I heard that you had a tantrum with Zhu Dahai this morning?"
"He went too far!"
Sister Cui nodded, "Yes, that's what everyone says."
Fang Mingche smiled and said nothing more. If he wasn't tough enough, people would at most talk about it behind his back. Others would just turn a blind eye and say it's none of their business! So, he didn't bother to say more.
Sister Cui said, "Hey, you practice boxing in the small courtyard every day, do you really know how to do it?"
Fang Mingche said, "I drove a long-distance truck in Guangzhou. I encountered many things along the way."
Sister Cui suddenly realized, "Then you are really good at both literature and martial arts."
After lunch, Fang Mingche took care of Yanyan for a nap. When she woke up, Fang Mingche asked, "Where do you want to go in the afternoon?"
Yanyan scratched her head, "It's too hot everywhere. Dad goes to school in the evening, do I go with him?"
"If you don't want to go, you can stay at home with Grandpa Gu and listen to the radio. Or you can go to Uncle Song's house or Aunt Xie's house. Dad will come back to pick you up after listening to the speech. If you want to go to your grandma and grandpa's house, that's fine too."
Yanyan said, "Is it not good for me to go?" She heard what the aunt said yesterday.
"School is a place for classes, and it is indeed not good to take children there. But once in a while, other students should be able to understand. Our Yanyan is not a noisy child. Besides, you are not encroaching on anyone's living space."
Yanyan said: "Then I won't go. I will listen to the radio with Grandpa Gu and wait for Dad to come back. I like to listen to Uncle Gu's stories."
"Okay, Dad will entrust you to them and then go to school."
Nowadays, there are many key children in the compound. That is, both parents have to go to work, and they usually hang a key around their necks, and open and lock the door by themselves when they go in and out.
There is no compulsory family planning now, and there is no child trafficking. The father and son of the Gu family are also trustworthy neighbors. Let's ask them to help take care of her tonight.
Of course, the key is that Yanyan is really not a naughty child. She won't be naughty and annoying. Just listen to the stories obediently, even Gu Zhiguang, who is already a little decadent, will not dislike her.
As for whether my cousin is used to going to the scrap yard, I can only wait until A Yan comes back tomorrow to ask.
After dinner that night, Fang Mingche entrusted his daughter to the father and son of the Gu family.
Uncle Gu came over and said: "Do you have any female classmates in your school who have missed the flowering period? If you see a suitable one, introduce one to Zhiguang of our family."
He really looks down on ordinary people. Look at what kind of people Aunt Yuan and the others have introduced to him recently. With such low education, how can they have a common language?
Aunt Yuan directly replied to him, "Where can I find a female college student for you? There is only one Xiaolin in the compound, and she is Xiaofang's wife."
Fang Mingche actually thinks that Gu Zhiguang's conditions are quite good. But now the female classmates who have just been admitted to college may not be able to accept the days of lying down and collecting rent with him.
In fact, the most important thing is that Gu Zhiguang can cheer up. But after so many years of suffering, it is really difficult for him to turn the page all of a sudden.
Fang Mingche nodded, "I'll keep an eye on it, but this kind of thing can't be guaranteed."
Uncle Gu nodded, "Yes, just keep an eye on it. Talk to your Xiaolin later. I'll also entrust Teacher Gao to him."
"Well, okay."
Fang Mingche rode his bicycle with a child seat installed to school. The rate of turning heads on the university campus was quite high. He was a little amused, but the effect of A Yan's trick was really impressive!
After finding the classroom he was notified of, he went in and sat down next to Cheng Guangzhi.
In the afternoon, Cheng Guangzhi and Xu Mengfei came out of the Forbidden City and asked Song Quan about Fang Mingche's residence. The two of them came to take a look. But they thought the house was still rented. Then Cheng Guangzhi notified Fang Mingche to gather in this classroom in the evening. It was said that in the morning, the counselor came to the dormitory to notify them.
Their counselor was a man, actually a senior from the class of 1977, named Wang Shan. He was an outstanding senior, so he was able to get such an internship opportunity on campus. In this way, he would not have to go for internships outside the school in the future.
It is said that this counselor is likely to stay in school and become a full-time counselor in the future. This kind of person has a great chance of staying in school to teach after taking the postgraduate entrance examination. Generally, only those who are outstanding, have a good relationship with teachers, or are more capable of dealing with things can have such an opportunity.
Fang Mingche whispered, "If the counselor is a freshman who was admitted, he should be younger than many people in our class, right?"
Cheng Guangzhi also whispered, "He is indeed only a few years older than my son."
Fang Mingche said, "Just stand here and don't move. I'll go buy you some oranges."
"Go to hell! Do you think I don't understand? I really don't understand the Monroe you are talking about, but anyone who has studied Chinese can understand this. By the way, you and your wife should all gather tonight to discuss things, so what about your daughter?"
"Leave her to the neighbors. You came to the capital alone, and your sister-in-law and nephews and nieces are all in the countryside?"
"The eldest son is in the first year of high school and will take the college entrance examination the year after next. The youngest daughter is in junior high school. The child's mother is farming at home."
Xu Mengfei said, "You two are married with children, and you get together to talk about children? The other people in our dormitory are here. By the way, Lao Cheng is the head of the dormitory."
Fang Mingche hurriedly seized the opportunity, grabbed Lao Cheng's hand and shook it, "Please take care of her."
If he needed to check the dormitory, he would definitely need Lao Cheng's help.
Old Cheng nodded, "I understand. But you'd better give me a phone number where I can find you. That way, if anything happens, I can notify you in time. Yesterday, the counselor asked about the situation one by one. I said you are a local, you got married and moved back home. I don't think he would make a big deal out of it. We are all men, we understand."
