Chapter 125 Cousin's Plan
The next day was Sunday, so I could relax tonight. Anyway, school had just started, so there was no pressure to study.
Yanyan suggested, "Let's go watch TV."
As parents, they were reluctant to spend hundreds of dollars to buy a TV. They had to meet their daughter's request. They couldn't let the child who was worried about it go to Lao Wang's house to watch TV again.
So they carried a bench and spent ten cents to buy two TV tickets. They went to a place nearby that sold TV tickets for people to watch TV, and started watching cartoons at around six o'clock.
Yanyan was very interested in watching the "News Broadcast", although she didn't understand anything.
It wasn't until the TV series that the little ancestor's eyelids finally closed. They held the child and carried the stool, and they hunched over and retreated.
Because they went quite early, they got a good seat. As soon as they retreated, someone immediately filled the seat behind them. Fortunately, they went early and had a choice. They chose a seat close to the door, otherwise it would be difficult to leave in the middle of the show.
Lin Yan lifted the stool and said, "She actually watched for two hours before falling asleep."
Fang Mingche moved the child's head to a more comfortable position and leaned it on his shoulder.
"How about we just buy a TV?"
A few hundred yuan is not something that cannot be taken out now. Although I think it is a bit uneconomical to use it to buy electrical appliances.
After all, in two or three years, China's first color TV production line will be put into production in 1982. By then, the price of TVs will be gradually reduced.
If you buy it now, a 9-inch black and white TV will cost several hundred yuan. Imported Japanese products start at more than 4,000 yuan. But in a few years, a 21-inch domestic color TV can be taken home for more than 2,000 yuan.
The replacement of electrical appliances is too fast, and Fang Mingche originally wanted to wait a little longer.
Lin Yan shook her head decisively, "No, then she will have to watch it every day, right? Don't spoil her too much. Besides, the half-moon door can't stop it, and there will be no peace in the house all day long."
If I really buy a TV, I'm afraid everyone in the compound will come to see it. She didn't have the eloquence of Wang Dexian's mother, who could make others feel embarrassed to go to her house all the time. Speaking of which, Yanyan was the only one who was treated preferentially when watching TV at her house.
Lin Yan paused and said, "I found that Brother Mingfeng seemed to want to buy a TV. And he went to the Friendship Store to watch a large color TV."
The imported large color TVs in the Friendship Store must be purchased with foreign exchange, and there is no purchase limit. All goods purchased with foreign exchange are not subject to purchase limits, the more the better.
As long as you can spend foreign exchange now. Even if there are no ready-made goods, the relevant departments can arrange to purchase them for you immediately. However, it is obviously impossible for Brother Mingfeng to have foreign exchange. The family has no overseas connections, so there is no connection with foreign exchange.
If he wants to buy a large color TV, I'm afraid he can only get it through smuggling channels.
Fang Mingche thought of his cousin. Yes, he also said to ask him if he is used to living in the scrap station.
Lin Yan listened to Fang Mingche's question, "I didn't find anything he was not used to. But I told him not to mess with other girls or young wives when he lives in the village. Otherwise, not only him, but also we will not be able to stay in the village."
"Don't worry, he never messes with decent women. He only looks for secret doors and fallen women. Then I roughly know what he is going to do. It happens that there is no class tomorrow, let's go and see him. Moreover, the business of the scrap yard cannot be left to Liu Qingfeng. First, we cannot have too much power; second, we cannot let people catch us and say that we are exploiting."
Lin Yan said, "Didn't you say that we will give them dividends, so we are also a collective enterprise?"
"That's what I said, who knows if the relevant departments will recognize it?"
Moreover, the ideas of Liu Qingfeng and others also need to be paid attention to at all times. He doesn't want another Zhu Dahai to appear.
Both of them knew that Yanyan was asleep and talking at this level would not wake her up. So, they walked back home slowly and talked while walking.
I got some hot water to wipe the child's hands, face, and feet. Then I let her go to sleep. Then it was their private time. How they spent it is unknown.
The next morning, Yanyan woke up, rubbed her eyes, and was still a little dazed.
"How did I get back?"
Fang Mingche, who had already changed into his going-out clothes, said, "You fell asleep while watching TV, and Dad carried you back."
Yanyan muttered, "I'm at a disadvantage again!"
Fang Mingche was speechless. How many times have you been there? Do you remember what the people next to you said, that you have to watch 'goodbye' before going home, so as not to be at a disadvantage? If you really watch it to that point, we can't afford to accompany you!
"Get up, have breakfast, and let's ride our bikes to see Fourth Uncle."
Yanyan said, "Ah, didn't Fourth Uncle go back to his hometown?"
"No, he lives in the scrap yard now. But you have to tell others that he went back to his hometown. Remember that--"
"Okay."
When they set off, Yanyan still took her mother's car. Because only the small rattan chair in her mother's car had a awning to block the sun.
The sun was rising at this time. Lin Yan and Xiao Xie went to the bank and came back.
Yan Yan suggested, "We should add this awning to Dad's car."
"There's only the tail left in summer, maybe next year."
He has already become famous for adding a seat. Moreover, adding a awning is really a bit cumbersome. The front bar is still not as easy to move as the rear frame.
Yan Yan thought about it, "What if it rains?"
Fang Mingche had to say, "Then, you can use a small flower umbrella?"
As he said that, he carried her to the small rattan chair in the back seat of Lin Yan and settled her down, and brought the awning over to block the sun.
"Come on, put your hands inside, otherwise you will get tanned."
Yan Yan compared her arms with her father, "I am much whiter than Dad."
"Yeah."
Why don't you compare with your grandfather? That's the old farmer who has done farm work all his life, and he is shiny black.
However, he has been the darkest in history in the past six months. But it's okay, he will be white again after a few months of reading.
Because they were not in a hurry and there were trees on the roadside to shade them, the two did not ride in a hurry. Facing the breeze brought by riding, they rode for a full 70 minutes before they arrived.
Fang Mingfeng sat in the courtyard. Seeing the small rattan chair on Fang Mingche's bike bar, he patted his thigh and laughed. Fang
Mingche said, "Next time you want to borrow a bike, I will only lend it to you in this way."
Fang Mingfeng frowned, that's right.
"I said, didn't Xiaolin let you install it?"
"Who else but her? By the way, you want to buy a large color TV, don't you want to open a video hall?"
At this moment, only the two brothers were in this last room, and Fang Mingche asked bluntly.
Fang Mingche also nodded honestly, "That's right. What do you think?"
Fang Mingche thought for a while, "If you can get the videotapes of TVB and Rediffusion (later ATV) in Hong Kong, this will indeed be a very profitable business."
Large color TVs and video recorders, if imported, have to be purchased with foreign exchange. Because the country also spends foreign exchange to import goods.
He also thought that his cousin might choose to buy smuggled goods from Guangzhou. It's more expensive, but you can buy it with RMB. The more troublesome thing is how to get the goods from Guangzhou to BJ. After all, the risk is getting bigger and bigger along the way.
But if his cousin calms down and asks his old connections to find it, maybe he can ask someone to get it for him by spending a little more money.
If you want to grab the business of selling TV tickets, you must have a steady supply of good movies. Then the recordings of the two TV stations in Hong Kong are the best choice.
At this time, Zheng Shaoqiu, Wang Mingquan, Zhao Yazhi and others are already the leading role in Hong Kong TVB. He remembers that their "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber" and "Chu Liuxiang" have been released.
In the 1970s, the Hong Kong film and television industry already had a Mandarin dubbing group. Taiwan is an important market for Hong Kong films.
It seems that ATV's "Heavenly Silkworm Change" has also come out. And next year, ATV's classic masterpiece "Heroes of the Underworld" will also start filming. The version with Huang Yuanshen and Michelle Yim.
This TV series was introduced to mainland TV stations in 1984, and it really emptied the streets at that time! People were singing "After a hundred years of sleep, the Chinese people are gradually waking up" everywhere on the street
. Then, it seemed that Chow Yun-fat and Zhao Yazhi's "Shanghai Beach" would be released soon.
This era was the golden age of Hong Kong popular culture. Especially the martial arts dramas of Jin Yong and Gu Long, as well as the underworld of Shanghai Beach, Hong Kong really filmed them very well.
In the mainland, it would take at least two or three years for these hit dramas to be introduced one after another.
At present, the mainland's movies have begun to recover. TV dramas are still a desert. The first TV drama produced by the mainland, "Eighteen Years in the Enemy Camp", was not filmed until 1980, and was directed by Wang Fulin (director of "Dream of Red Mansions" and chief director of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms").
At this time, opening a video hall to play Hong Kong TV dramas was actually very accurate. As long as there were continuous videotapes sent in, the business would definitely be very hot.
Fang Mingche did not have any connections in this area, so he did not consider this business.
But his cousin had been running around Guangzhou for so many years, and he probably knew a lot of smugglers. Those people might have channels to deliver all the goods safely.
Moreover, my cousin has been a long-distance truck driver for so many years. His savings should be able to support the opening of such a video hall.
Fang Mingfeng looked at him in surprise, "No, how come you even know TVB and Rediffusion? It's true that a scholar knows everything about the world without leaving home."
"I thought of many businesses before, and finally decided to collect waste. There are many people in this capital who travel all over the country. I've heard them talk about it! Besides, Hong Kong and Guangzhou TV jointly organized a TV gala at the beginning of the year, right? It was hosted by Shen Dianxia."
Fang Mingfeng nodded and accepted this explanation. There must be many people in the capital who have been to Guangzhou, and it is normal for them to have come into contact with smuggled goods.
Well, the videotapes from Hong Kong are not approved by the cultural department to be introduced, so of course they are all smuggled goods. He really didn't expect that his cousin would consider many industries before making the choice to collect waste.
"Then what do you think of the prospects?"
Fang Mingche said, "If you have a channel to transport color TVs, VCRs, and videotapes to the capital safely. You can also build connections to prevent people from checking your smuggled goods. In addition, you must be able to maintain order during broadcasting. After making money, you can keep this business. If all these are done, I think there will be no problem!"
Fang Mingfeng was in a dilemma, "Comparatively speaking, the first point is easier. How can you build connections in this capital when you are unfamiliar with the place? As for the order during broadcasting, there are so many educated youths who have returned to the city and retired soldiers who have not been able to find jobs. It should be possible to ask them to look after the venue. But the difficulty lies in the connections with the upper level you mentioned. Do you have any way to introduce?"
Without connections with the upper level, he really couldn't keep his profitable business.
There are too many small braids to catch! For example, smuggling, for example, hiring.
Fang Mingche spread his hands, "If I had this connection, I wouldn't accept waste."
He knew Wang Dexian, and he might even be able to ask about his new roommate Zheng Xing's family.
However, Wang Dexian is still at the grassroots level. Judging from his behavior, he probably wants to work in the capital for two years to get familiar with the job, and if possible, get a diploma.
Lao Wang actually wants to go to college, and passing the exam will be a plus for him in the fight for resources at home. But he probably won't be able to pass the full-time exam.
He doesn't dare to snatch other people's admission letters. This handle is too big. He won't leave it to his cousins.
So, Fang Mingche estimates that he may go to night school, correspondence courses, etc.? Anyway, it is the kind of academic qualifications that will be officially recognized in the future. But now these ways are not very mature.
After these years, Lao Wang may be demoted. Then slowly upgrade and seek to be transferred back. It's too early to find him colluding with officials and businessmen! His grandfather, the video hall business will never impress him.
As for Zheng Xing, his mother is politely declined. I don't know how such a cadre family can raise such a person?
Too superficial and exposed! After all, he has been in the city for so many years, and his body and spirit have changed. It shouldn't be like that. It can't be that he is lucky and got married with a baby, right?
Moreover, it is hard to say whether the Zheng family needs white gloves. Even if they do, they will definitely use people they trust.
He did not plan to achieve any purpose through Zheng Xing. It was just because university was also a place to make connections. He might as well try his luck! Maybe many years later, he would use this relationship.
Therefore, he did not have any connections in this area to introduce to his cousin. To be realistic, if he had any, he would have used them himself.
If Lao Wang had become a big shot now, he would have other businesses to cooperate with Lao Wang.
But now, he should just collect waste honestly and further complete the primitive accumulation of capital. Everything has to be figured out first.
Fang Mingfeng frowned. What he had been worried about these days was actually the problem his cousin mentioned.
"I can't stay here with you anymore, life is too easy! Gentleness softens ambition, wealth ruins pursuit."
Fang Mingche said, "If you want to be gentle, you should bring your sister-in-law here. Don't set up another house in the capital. I won't be ashamed to visit you for the New Year."
Fang Mingfeng said, "What do you two think of me? Once I settle down, I will bring them mother and daughter here. I'm anxious to have a son. By the way, are you two in a hurry?"
Fang Mingche nodded, "Urgent!"
It's really urgent! If they get into college, 99% of them will have a stable job in the future.
This is the class with the strictest family planning. Therefore, if they want to have a second child, they must do it before the family planning is enforced!
However, Ayan's relatives haven't come this month yet. It seems like a long time!
Riding a bicycle will not affect it, as long as you don't do strenuous exercise. Riding a bicycle like this is also conducive to smooth delivery. Women who work nowadays are much easier to give birth than white-collar workers sitting in offices in ten or twenty years.
Fang Mingfeng touched his chin, "You want people to have a second child after they get into college?"
"Nowadays, female college students can walk around campus with big bellies. I've seen several! At worst, if they're not feeling well, they can just take a year off."
Tsk, Grandpa Gu asked him to keep an eye out for suitable female college students for Gu Zhiguang.
But the school had just started, so how could he go to his female classmates to inquire about the situation? He accidentally noticed that there were several pregnant women on campus. Nowadays, college students are not prohibited from getting married, and many people get married before getting into college.
Old Cheng's eldest son is even 16 years old. Maybe he will really get in next year and become an alumnus with his dad.
Well, Xu Mengfei also counted that one-third of the 48 people in the class were married. This statistic makes it easier for him to look for Gu Zhiguang. At least he has to figure out who is married and who is single first. As soon as
Fang Mingche finished speaking, he saw Lin Yan preparing to bend down to pick up the box of eggs.
He hurried over, "I'll do it, I'll do it."
Lin Yan said, "It's not heavy."
Fang Mingche whispered in her ear, "When was the last time your relatives came?"
Lin Yan stroked it, and then her face changed slightly, "Fortunately you still think about me."
"Go and sit down."
Sister Wei hurriedly said, "I can do it myself, no need for help. Teacher Fang, you put it down too."
Fang Mingche nodded, "Okay." He said that he would help Lin Yan to sit over, and asked Yanyan not to rush to her mother again.
Sister Wei also reacted belatedly, so she took care of everything.
Fang Mingfeng sighed as he looked at the way he had been looking for and thinking about for more than half a month, and his cousin pointed out the dilemma with a few words. He didn't pay much attention to the situation here!
Fang Mingche settled the mother and daughter and came out, "Brother Mingfeng, if you don't mind, why don't you join me in collecting waste. There aren't many fellow villagers in this business yet, so we can help each other. Besides, there aren't too many problems doing this for the time being. You can settle down first, and then think about other things. What you said is a good business, but it needs people who are good at both black and white things to run it. Besides, the public security is not very good now. If you open a video hall and mix in some violent and pornographic films, the authorities will define you as corrupting teenagers. How are you going to get away with it?"
It's been a few years since the crackdown, so don't jump out of this aspect, my brother! It's nothing to just show TVB and ATV movies. Don't bring back some of the Japanese colored tapes and movies with fighting and killing.
Fang Mingfeng's face changed slightly. If he didn't have a backer, this situation would be very likely to happen.
He said, "Mingche, adults have always said that you are smart and good at studying. But I always think that studying is not good, and being good at doing things is just as smart. But after talking to you today, I really think that the older generation is right. You are indeed much smarter than me!"
If he really spent money and used connections to get the big color TV and VCR back, he could also get those attractive movies from Guangzhou continuously. But once he made money, he would definitely make people jealous. Then anything could happen. These days, if you don't have a backer to do business, your path is really narrow!
Although his cousin, who collects scraps, only makes a dozen yuan a day, it is indeed much safer. If he does the vegetable business together, he can make a net profit of about 50 a day. Well, he hasn't seen their account book. But he was watching from the side, and he had an account in his mind.
His cousin didn't want to hide it from him, and let him live here openly. Would he just copy them or what? He would think about it again.
At noon, Fang Mingche's family of three naturally ate here.
Yanyan had already seen a ditch in the village. Dad came with them today, and after eating, he wanted to go play in the water.
Fang Mingche had no choice but to go into the water in his knee-length shorts to hold her up so that she could learn to swim.
"Okay, move your feet as Daddy taught you."
Yanyan felt very tired after playing for a while, and waved and shouted, "Mom, come down--"
Since Lin Yan knew that she might be pregnant, she has been very cautious. How could she go into the water now?
She waved her hand, "Mom is not going down, I didn't bring any swimming clothes. You should get up quickly, or they will get wrinkled if you soak for too long."
Back at the scrap station, Fang Mingche found Fang Mingfeng and bought new underwear that he hadn't worn yet to change into. They were similar in size and could wear the same size.
As for Yanyan, she was stripped clean by Lin Yan and wrapped in a towel blanket. Then she washed their wet pants and hung them up to dry. Fortunately, the sun was strong in the afternoon and they dried quickly.
Yanyan was tired from learning to swim, so she slept for two hours before getting up.
During her nap, Fang Mingche and Liu Qingfeng and the others were dealing with scraps while chatting with them. He certainly couldn't do nothing, that would really give people the impression of exploitation.
"Qingfeng, to be honest, do you have any ideas about the future work arrangements? Or you can make any suggestions."
Liu Qingfeng, Geng Shan, and Huo Chen, who were sitting with Fang Mingche, looked at him. Huo Chen was fine, he was new, equivalent to being in the probation period. So, he just pretended to listen.
But Liu Qingfeng and Geng Shan obviously wanted to say something, but they were a little hesitant.
Fang Mingche said: "It's okay, just say it directly."
He really has an idea? Zhu Dahai should not dare to mention how much money he made. Moreover, he may be asked to share the benefits here and there, and he doesn't make much anyway.
Geng Shan said: "Teacher Fang, I'm actually a little uneasy. You said that our income is more than those formal workers. Will someone come out and say that we are speculating and stop us from working?"
Not to mention that he has also been receiving a 5% commission since this month. In August, he also received 40 or 50, which is more than ordinary workers in state-owned factories.
Fang Mingche was initially worried that they would feel like Zhu Dahai that he earned too much and gave them too little. He didn't expect that they were worried about this. And Liu Qingfeng seemed a little anxious about this.
Well, they were not like him, who was starting over again and knew about the big discussion on the so-called employment is exploitation, because the attitude of the chief designer was to wait for two years and see. So in the end, everyone involved was fine.
Fang Mingche said, "If they want to arrest someone, they will definitely arrest me first."
Liu Qingfeng said, "But we also want to keep this job!"
Only those who have been educated youth who returned to the city and can't find a job know how much pressure they have been under at home in the past few months.
No one has an extra house, nor does anyone have spare money to support others. They don't have a stable income, and they can't find a partner at their age, so they really cherish their current jobs.
Fang Mingche said, "I think it will be fine. Aunt Yuan said before that the Northeast is issuing business licenses to self-employed businesses like us. There is no call to stop! After the pilot, it will be gradually promoted. I think they should collect taxes from us in the future. It will be more legitimate at that time. Anyway, the country says to cross the river by feeling the stones during reform and opening up. It should be allowed to make mistakes. As long as we don't stand out too much, we won't be caught as a typical example. Besides, can we quit now because of worry?"
Liu Qingfeng and Geng Shan shook their heads like rattles.
Huo Chen said, "I think what Mr. Fang said makes sense. Now, whether it is you educated youth returning to the city or us veterans, it is difficult to place them. So many young people cannot live and work in peace, and the country is also anxious! Self-employed people like Mr. Fang are now solving problems for the country."
Fang Mingche couldn't help but look at him. Those who have received military education are different. They speak in a set of ways. However, after figuring out the knot in the hearts of his subordinates, he doesn't have to worry about them learning from Zhu Dahai for the time being. In that case, Zhu Dahai is a bit reckless. After all, he doesn't know the subsequent development.
When Fang Mingche and his family of three left in the evening, Fang Mingfeng was still undecided.
Opening a video hall is obviously a good business that can make a lot of money. But if he opens one in the capital, he needs to find a young man to cooperate with. Otherwise, he might as well go back to the county?
He still feels reluctant to open a scrap yard. His cousin got acquainted with the people in the slum and found two capable helpers. Besides, didn’t he make a mistake about Zhu Dahai? It has caused some troubles now. Where can he find capable helpers?
If he goes back to the county, he can directly ask his former boss for a share. There is a big boss behind the boss! Otherwise, there would be no private trucks registered under state-owned units. Then make up for this shortcoming.
Watching TV for five cents is available in the capital, and in fact, it is also available in my hometown. Too few families can afford to buy TV now.
Fang Mingche said, "This is a serious matter, Brother Mingfeng, you should think about it carefully. Anyway, whatever decision you make will not affect our relationship."
Fang Mingfeng nodded, "Well, I'll think about it carefully."
When they went back, the sun had set, and Yanyan got to ride in her father's car as she wished.
Along the way, Fang Mingche listened to her humming the few tunes she had learned, changing the tune from time to time. Sometimes it was just a hodgepodge and she sang out of order. But the little girl was really happy.
And after two hours of sleep, she was full of energy again.
Lin Yan said, "What do you think, Brother Mingfeng, is he going to buy a big color TV?"
"He's considering opening a video hall. But I told him that if he wants to open this in the capital, he has to have good connections with both the black and white parties. He hesitated a little! Let him do whatever he wants--"
Lin Yan calculated the time since her last menstruation and found it was a little short. Even an experienced Chinese medicine doctor would say that it was too early and he was not sure.
So he decided to see the doctor next Sunday. But they were more careful when they moved, sat and lay down.
Fang Mingche simply went to talk to Teacher Gao and asked him to help him take care of Lin Yan. After all, the two of them were in the same school. If the class hours were similar, they could go back and forth together.
Teacher Gao's bicycle had been bought. It was also Xiao Xie who went to find Cui's wife to buy the bicycle ticket on the black market.
When Fang Mingche went over, he was happily tightening the screws.
Fang Mingche told him, "My teacher Lin may be pregnant. So I came here to ask you to help take care of her on the way and at school."
Teacher Gao was stunned for a moment, then agreed, "Yes, no problem."
He looked at Fang Mingche with some envy. Buying a bicycle is not a difficult thing for Xiao Fang. Now that she is pregnant with her second child, it is not difficult to have another one.
But she can ride a bicycle. Although it is an IOU written by herself, Xiao Xie has to make money to pay it back every month. They didn't dare to put the issue of having children on the agenda.
Fang Mingche said, "You have to take care of your aunt. And your aunt looks much better now."
Gao's mother looked good today. After riding her bicycle back and getting the stamp, she also got up and came out to take a look.
Fang Mingche saw Zhu Dahai walking back into the yard, so he called out, "Zhu Dahai--"
Zhu Dahai paused. Seeing Fang Mingche walking towards him, he couldn't help but say, "You, what do you want to do?"
Fang Mingche felt funny in his heart. This guy is actually quite cowardly.
It was a waste of time that he also reminded Gu Zhiguang and Xiao Xie, worrying about what he would do to Yanyan. Ask them to be more careful when leading Yanyan.
"Today Liu Qingfeng and Geng Shan told me that they are worried about the policy changes. If we do business, we will be arrested for speculation and they will be unemployed again. But you don't seem to be worried!"
Zhu Dahai saw that he was not looking for trouble again, so he said, "Before I brought water to you, I could hardly afford to eat. Now that you are so smart, I will learn from you!" Zhu Dahai
really thought so. He didn't know much, but he thought Fang Mingche should know. He is a famous university student! Then he should learn from him.
Fang Mingche laughed, that's it.
"Okay, if something happens, I can't run away and you can't run away."
Zhu Dahai was silent for a while, "College students are very respected now, you should have someone to protect you."
"If you really commit a crime, it doesn't matter what your identity is."
The next day, Monday, those who should go to school went to school and those who should go to work went to work. Early in the morning, several bicycles and tricycles in the compound rode out.
Now Liu Qingfeng and Geng Shan ride tricycles to and from work. No need to borrow Gu Zhiguang's car anymore. It just so happens that there are more and more vegetables to be transported now.
Now a bicycle can really be regarded as a big item. People in the compound know how Teacher Gao got his bicycle, and they are a little envious. They envy that he originally just wanted to find a country woman to take care of his sick mother, but he didn't expect to meet Xiao Xie who is beautiful and can make money.
Well, although Xiao Xie makes money mainly because Teacher Lin takes care of her. But it is true that her eggs sell very well. Now there are other people selling eggs at the hospital gate, but none of them are as good as her.
In addition, in addition to the egg sellers, there is also a fruit cart stall at the hospital gate. If there is something, you can just kick your feet and run away. Nowadays, businessmen are really showing their magical powers.
Fang Mingche arrived at the school, and the old man really asked people to write the method of ordering English newspapers and magazines on the blackboard in the next class.
At the same time, he handed the matter over to the study committee member, who was responsible for registering which students needed which information. This is not for their class, but for the entire grade and the entire department.
There is a kind of newspaper that Fang Mingche got from Wang Dexian. He thought it was pretty good. He decided to order it immediately.
He had never come across the other types. But since the old man recommended them, he decided to subscribe as well. However, the price was really high.
In the end, the whole class decided to order one copy, except for Fang Mingche.
It would cost about two or three hundred yuan in total, and that was if everyone in the department put one package together. Because now a lot of information really has to travel across the ocean.
Suddenly, everyone in the class knew that Fang Mingche was rich. Especially since he seemed to eat and dress well.
When someone asked about it, the people in the dormitory told him about his tea stall in Tiananmen Square.
"Oh, so that's the case. I thought his family had a lot of background."
Xu Mengfei said, "Is it better to spend your parents' money than to spend the money you earn yourself?"
The visitor laughed twice and said nothing. Then he went back to his dormitory.
It is estimated that it will not be long before the news that Fang Mingche just earned some money by setting up a stall will spread. However, since he told the people in the dormitory, it means that they will help spread it. He didn't want to pretend to be a second-generation.
Zheng Xing rubbed his nose in his seat. Apart from the subsidy, all his expenses were given by his family. Well, the 22.5 yuan subsidy was really not worth mentioning to him.
His mother said that after the first academic year, they would not live on campus anymore. They would rent an apartment in the teacher dormitory inside the Normal University.
But his grandfather and father did not quite agree. They also said that he should live a collective life like other children.
His mother mentioned the example of Fang Mingche.
But they heard that he was married and his child was only three years old. Grandpa and father said that this was a special case and it was their duty to go home and take care of the child.
He went home last Sunday and talked about Fang Mingche. His mother also frowned, "I thought they were a well-matched couple, the children of high-ranking officials. It turns out they are just setting up stalls!"
But the suggestions Fang Mingche gave him allowed him to have a good rest.
At this moment, Cheng Guangzhi said, "Xiao Xu, why do you care what others think? I don't think Xiao Fang takes it to heart."
Sun Xi said, "If Fang Mingche subscribes to the full set, can we borrow his to read when the time comes?" He wanted to save the money on subscribing to the materials.
Qian Bijun shook his head, "Fang Mingche must have taken it home directly. He doesn't usually study or live in the dormitory. He only comes here to take a nap at noon when he has classes in the first or second period in the afternoon."
Everyone looked at him and saw that he had even put up a bed curtain, making it clear that he didn't welcome others to sit on his bed.
Fang Mingche really seemed to be separated from everyone. On weekdays, he was mainly close to Lao Cheng and Xiao Xu. Of course, when you talk to him, he will respond to you in a friendly manner. But since they don't live together, there is indeed a distance between them.
On this day, there were classes in the third and fourth periods in the morning and the first and second periods in the afternoon. Fang Mingche had lunch with his roommates, and then went back to the dormitory for a nap.
When it was time for class, he rode his bike directly to the outside of the classroom.
The teachers in the class said half-jokingly and half-seriously: "Why, you have to run after class again?"
Fang Mingche nodded, "Teacher, I may be a father again."
Well, not only does he have to go back to take care of the children, but he also has to go back to take care of his wife who is suspected to be pregnant.
"Didn't I hear that your wife just got into college? Why are you so anxious to have a second child?"
Fang Mingche said, "I'm afraid that family planning will be mandatory in the future. China's population is now clearly in excess of resources."
The teacher thought for a while, "What you said does make some sense. However, it's rare that you got in, so you shouldn't just immerse yourself in family life."
"I know, thank you for reminding me, teacher."
This Sunday is September 9th, and Fang Mingche subconsciously thinks that there will be no classes next Monday. Teacher's Day!
He was still thinking, it's only been a week since school started, so there's no need to give gifts, right? Then he observed that no one on the entire campus seemed to have this plan.
He finally realized that it was only 1979, so where did Teacher's Day come from? Teacher's Day only existed in the 1980s. Is he thinking a little confused about taking a holiday?
He couldn't tell anyone about this, so he could only laugh at himself.
He returned home in the afternoon of the 8th, and there was still some time before dinner. He was going to accompany A Yan to see the old Chinese doctor. Xiao Xie helped him get the appointment when he was selling eggs before.
Before leaving, Fang Mingche said to Yanyan, "Mom's stomach is a little uncomfortable, Dad will accompany her to see the doctor. We will be back soon. Can you listen to the radio with Uncle Gu?"
Yanyan looked at her mother, "Uncomfortable?"
Lin Yan touched her stomach, "Yeah, yes."
"Okay." Fang Mingche sent his daughter to Uncle Gu.
Uncle Gu saw him and smiled, "Just leave it here."
Fang Mingche came over just now and handed him a piece of paper. On it was the basic information of two unmarried female college students aged 25-30, and a simple portrait he drew.
"These two are from our class. I mentioned Brother Zhiguang's situation, and they are a little interested. If Brother Zhiguang is interested, I will try to help facilitate a meeting. But, they also have requirements, hoping that he can cheer up and find a stable job." Don't say it
, Gu Zhiguang's conditions are really good. If you get married with him, you can stay in Beijing directly after graduation. And there is no other burden at home. There will not even be conflicts between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
If he is willing to cheer up. Now that everything is in ruins, it is not a problem for him to find a good office job based on his status as a college student in the 1960s.
Besides, there is a large yard of more than 300 square meters, one kilometer away from Tiananmen Square.
In addition, female classmates may easily arouse maternal feelings for a traumatized person like him.
Grandpa Gu thought that Xiao Fang was really reliable when he saw it. Moreover, the woman's request was quite reasonable. She asked him to cheer up and find a job first.
Fang Mingche brought his daughter here again at this moment, and he had just convinced his son.
The focus is that Yanyan is such a lovely child, don't you want her? Do you want me to die without seeing my grandson and granddaughter? Therefore, when seeing them father and daughter again, how can Grandpa Gu not smile?
Fang Mingche said: "Then I'll trouble you. Yanyan, listen to Grandpa Gu and Uncle Gu."
"Got it!"
