Chapter 170 Alternative Education
Fang Mingche returned home and started teaching Fang Jian to ride a bicycle. With Fang Jian's height, he could only ride the 28-inch bicycle in the "crotch-out" way, that is, riding within the triangular frame in front.
If his second aunt's 26-circle ladies' bicycle was here, he would be able to learn a lot more easily.
Fang Jian, for example, sometimes looks stupid. In the third grade of elementary school, he could get a total of 100 points in Chinese and mathematics, with a loss rate of 50%. But he can learn things that interest him very quickly.
Yesterday, Chu Liuxiang's sentence "I heard that you have a white jade beauty" actually appeared two or three times. He memorized it. Now learning to ride a bicycle is the same. In less than half an hour, he can ride independently.
Fang Fang, Fang Shuyan, and Fang Kang, who were watching from the side, couldn't help but think, "Big brother is so awesome!"
Facing their admiring eyes, Fang Jian also regained his confidence. It seems that he is not that stupid!
"Thank you, Dad!"
Fang Mingche saw that Fang Fang also wanted to learn, but it was still a little early for a seven-year-old to learn to ride a 28-inch bicycle. So he promised her, "When you go back to the capital, you can learn to ride your second aunt's bicycle."
Yanyan thought of the small bicycle she had not been able to get. If the two auxiliary wheels at the back of that bicycle were removed, it would be very suitable for her height.
However, she was not much shorter than her sister. In two years, she should be able to learn to ride a bicycle using her mother's bicycle. She should wait for two more years!
Fang Mingche actually noticed the small bicycle Yanyan wanted, which was sold in the Friendship Store. But the price was beyond his expectation, because it was not priced according to the size of the wheels. On the contrary, due to the small sales volume and the same complex production process, it was slightly more expensive than he imagined.
He looked at Yanyan and said, if the sale of intangible cultural heritage products to Tokyo goes smoothly this time, he will buy one for you. Anyway, there is no need to spend foreign exchange.
Fang Fang listened to Fang Mingche's words, looked at the tall bicycle, and nodded, "Well, okay."
Fang Mingche looked at Fang Jian, "This is a borrowed bicycle, just learn it. Get off--"
Such a bicycle is an absolute big item for a rural family. This bike alone could be used as a betrothal gift to marry a young girl.
People were willing to lend it to him because they knew he had money and could afford the loss. He let Fang Jian ride it, and people didn't say anything when they saw it. But if Fang Jian rode it by himself in the village, it would not be very stable at first. How anxious would people be? They must be afraid that he would fall down with the bike.
Fang Jian got off the bike reluctantly.
Fang Mingche touched his head, "Actually, your grandfather still has money on hand. If the family really needs it, just coax him to buy it."
He sent money to his family every month, but the old man was reluctant to spend it. This time he paid 300 because he also thought that the rice processing plant should be able to make money. Which farmer doesn't need to use these equipment to process rice?
In addition to the two machines at the grain station, they are the only ones in the ten miles or even farther away. They charge three yuan for processing 100 kilograms, which is a small profit but quick turnover!
But there is a lot of rice to be processed, and it is not a problem to process more than a thousand kilograms a day. In that virtuous cycle, they can sit back and wait for dividends. Even the rent of the factory built on collective land can be used as dividend. Therefore, Fang's father was willing to pay 300 yuan to buy shares.
But buying a 28-bar bicycle costs 180, and you also need a bicycle ticket. Considering his old man's style of preferring to walk to the county town 10 kilometers away, he certainly doesn't think it is a necessity of life.
Let his eldest grandson go and grind, it would be good if it can change the old man's consumption concept.
Fang Jian said, "It's hopeless. Grandpa is very tight with money." It's more realistic to expect the youngest father.
But Fang Mingche will definitely not let him get his wish, "Then it depends on your ability."
While talking, the tractor driver drove the tractor to Fang's house, "Brother Jiu, can we go?"
Fang Mingche nodded, "Let's go. Do you four want to go? I'm going to the Xinhua Bookstore in the county town to buy books and set up a reading room for the village."
The secretary was generous and approved 200 yuan. Although it was donated by Fang Mingche, it was good that he was willing to use it to open a reading room to enlighten the people. He also said that he would write on the wall of the reading room that the money was donated by Fang Mingche.
The four children must want to go. But Fang Fang was a little hesitant, as she still had work to do.
Fang Minghua was about to go out with a hoe on his shoulder. Seeing this scene, he looked at Yanyan again. His brother's daughter lived much better than his daughter!
"Go, let's go together. Visiting Xinhua Bookstore is also a good thing to broaden your horizons."
Fang Fang smiled and went in with her brother and sister to move small stools.
Fang Minghua looked at Fang Mingche, "One, two, three, four, five, go up the mountain to fight tigers?"
Alas, ever since the second child showed his talent for reading when he was a child, the old man was reluctant to let him work except during the busy farming season when he was really too busy.
After hearing what his elder brother said, Fang Mingche said, "Your Fang Jian is actually quite talented. He learned to drive so quickly, and he memorized the lines in the video so quickly."
Fang Minghua put the hoe on the ground, "So what you mean is that if he is willing to study, he should be able to do it?"
"Of course he can. Dad is right. The intelligence level of most people in this world is about the same. The ones who are far behind are scientists and fools."
The research results also said that 94% of people have an IQ within the normal range, 3% are below the normal range, and 3% are above the normal range. Using the total population of one billion, 940 million people are within the normal range.
Fang Minghua said, "That's great, I thought he was really a fool. It's good to be able to study, it's good to be able to study. You don't have to work so hard like me in the future."
Fang Mingche looked at him, "You should focus on farming first. The income of farmers will still soar in the next few years. I will help you think of a solution later."
He can think of a solution for Zhu Qiming and Lin Yi's brother-in-law, so why can't he take care of his own elder brother?
However, he had to find a way to get the old man and his wife to live in the capital, where medical conditions were better. This depended on their grandchildren. But the old man must be thinking about the fields. He had to see that the yield of the land he was allocated increased significantly and the income doubled.
Then he had to let his eldest brother and his wife stay in the countryside for a few more years. After a few years, when that kind of yield became the norm, they could rent the land out to others for farming.
People go to higher places, and water flows to lower places. In the late 1990s, there was an opportunity to obtain a household registration in first-tier cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen. However, it is necessary for young people to transfer to urban household registration, but it will be unnecessary for his brother and sister-in-law when they are old.
Only rural household registration can retain homesteads! Moreover, the current branch secretary is quite good, and he has caught several times earlier than others. Maybe he can make every villager share dividends with their household registration in the future.
Fang Minghua said: "Can you help me change from rural to non-rural?"
Fang Mingche said: "If the household registration is not linked to the supply of materials such as grain and oil, it is actually not of much value. Looking at the trend of the country, it will gradually decentralize the resources under its control. The planned economy will also usher in a change."
As for buying a house, there was no purchase restriction before 2010.
Fang Minghua was shocked, "It's unlikely, right?" The quota for rural to non-rural transfer is precious!
"This is just my speculation."
At this moment, the four children have already run over with stools, helped each other climb to the back of the tractor, set up the stools and sat down in a row. When villagers heard that the tractor was going to the city, some of them came with their own stools.
Well, this is not a free ride, you have to pay 10 cents. It costs 30 cents to take the bus, and 10 cents to take the tractor in your own village. Fang Mingche thought that the secretary of the village was quite economically savvy now. This can be seen from the fact that he rented the tractor to Fang Mingche for 4 yuan last year to pick up his bride. In
the words of the secretary of the village, "earn some gas money! And this tractor is collective, everyone has a share. If you don't charge some gas money, won't those who don't have the opportunity to hitchhike suffer a loss? "
Now the villagers are quite used to it, and they pay when they get on the tractor. However, the Fang family has four children? There is no charge for small children, but they usually follow adults. One adult can only take one small child.
The tractor driver collected the money and said, "Today's trip is to the Xinhua Bookstore in the county to buy books and set up a reading room for villagers. I used 200 yuan from the money donated by Brother Jiu."
When everyone thought about the money donated by Fang Mingche, they immediately felt embarrassed to care about the fare of his children.
Moreover, "200 yuan? Then can't you buy three to five hundred books?"
Fang Mingche saw that everyone was almost seated, so he was waiting for him and was walking over. Hearing this, he said, "The upper limit in the early stage is 200 yuan, not all at once."
This can be regarded as a great thing to open up the wisdom of the villagers, and it is worth it!
The secretary told him that Fang Mingche's family can borrow books for free. Others can read them in the reading room for free. But if you want to borrow them home, after paying a deposit, the rent will be two cents a day. If they are damaged or lost, the cost will be compensated.
This is the treatment for people in the village. People from other villages pay a deposit to borrow them and read them for three cents a day. Reading in the reading room is one yuan a month, and the person and the ID are matched one by one.
When Fang Mingche sat in the front passenger seat, the tractor started.
Not long after the tractor drove away, the two people who had partnered with Fang Mingche yesterday came to find him.
One of these two people was called Han Ping and the other was called Fang Mingcheng. They recognized Fang Mingche's voice yesterday, and the travel agency required people to speak English and drive. There was no way to think about English, but are driving a car the same as driving a tractor?
After discussing it, the two of them came over to hear Fang Mingche's definite answer: If driving a car is similar to driving a tractor, if they can learn to drive a tractor, can they go to the capital with him to drive?
Unexpectedly, they came a step too late and came up empty-handed. Only Fang's mother and Yuan Shufen were at home.
Fang's mother said, "He went to buy books for the village and should be back before noon. You can come later."
Buying books and setting up a reading room must be her son's job. Even if it was not his money, Mingche was a scholar in the village, who else could do this job?
If she said that she donated one thousand, did she feel bad? She felt terrible.
The other one thousand was an investment, and she would probably be able to double it in the future. But she still owed Uncle Gu two thousand for the house payment, so she came back to donate one thousand.
However, Fang's father said, "He only comes back once a year. If not now, when should he give it out? Besides, September is the beginning of the school year. If he really wants to help students, he should pay the money when he comes back during the summer vacation. Otherwise, if it is delayed until the New Year, I am afraid that more children will drop out of school."
Having said that, Fang's mother couldn't say anything else. Besides, the money has been donated and the branch secretary is still performing loudly on the loudspeaker. Can she go and ask for it back?
However, in private, to a group of old sisters who often do needlework together, she still couldn't help but tell Fang Mingche that he still owed two thousand yuan for buying a house.
Fang Mingche didn't tell her anything because he knew his mother would not be able to help doing this. Let her play her best. If such news spreads, it will also save people from coming to him to borrow money. Otherwise, people really think he is so rich!
He is still in debt, but he still remembers to donate one thousand yuan. Some people may think he is stupid, but they will actually appreciate it more in their hearts.
When they arrived at the county town, most of the villagers dispersed to do their own things. The stools were stacked in the back car.
Arriving at Xinhua Bookstore, the tractor driver and the five people from the Fang family went in together.
Fang Mingche approached the people in the bookstore and showed them the letter of introduction from the branch secretary. He explained that their village wanted to buy several hundred books to enrich the reading room. He asked if he could give a wholesale price.
As far as he knew, the books that could not be sold in the previous life of Xinhua Bookstore would eventually go into the waste book machine and be cut into thin strips. This was actually similar to the milk that capitalists poured out during the economic crisis as written in the book.
With the letter of introduction proving that it was the collective behavior of the village, the small leader of Xinhua Bookstore had a certain right to decide. In the end, the two sides agreed to charge 80% off the retail price.
Then Fang Mingche directly took the book list provided by the bookstore to choose books. He wrote down the number and attached the quantity. He thought that the intangible cultural heritage products sold by his family could also be made into colorful books, and then let people choose by number.
However, let's take the next step. After the shipment to Tokyo goes smoothly this time and the balance is received.
With the five thousand yuan in hand, the cash flow will be abundant. This is a long-term business, not a one-time deal.
In the past six months, the travel agency has never been rich. Well, until they buy two more commercial vehicles before November, they will not be rich. Commercial vehicles are really too expensive!
Forty or fifty thousand per vehicle, they have to buy at least three before November. That's 135,000! In fact, the travel agency is really profitable, and it's all spent on this. But reselling intangible cultural heritage products does not require such a large amount of capital.
As for the four children, Fang Mingche sent them to visit the bookstore. There were all kinds of books here, from comic books to teaching materials. However, there was no "Chu Liuxiang" that Fang Jian wanted to read. He heard someone say at Luxingting last night that there was a novel.
He turned around and ran to ask Fang Mingche, "Dad, why is there no "Chu Liuxiang"?"
Fang Mingche looked up, "It was published in Hong Kong and Taiwan, and it has not been distributed in the mainland. Including the videotapes, they were smuggled in from Hong Kong and Taiwan. How could Xinhua Bookstore have smuggled books for sale?"
If the mainland wants to introduce martial arts novels, it has to wait until the chief designer reads Jin Yong's martial arts novels. It will take a few more years. If it is to be smuggled, martial arts novels are not as profitable as videotapes, and no one should be doing it at the moment.
However, "Maybe there is one in Guangzhou." It's nearby.
Fang Jian was a little depressed, "I can't go to Guangzhou again."
But soon he became energetic again, "Dad, can I go to my second grandfather's place to watch the video now?"
Fang Mingche looked at the short Fang Kang and Yanyan, who were standing on tiptoe to look at the books at the bottom. He even took out the comic books and flipped through them. Fang Fang was taking care of them.
Because they were brought by big customers, the bookstore staff told them not to wrinkle the books, so they just let them stand there and watch. Anyway, if they were wrinkled, they could just buy them together.
Fang Mingche said, "I only have time to show you one episode."
Fang Jian quickly promised, "I will definitely be back on time."
Fang Mingche said, "Do what you say, and don't overdraw my trust in you."
Fang Jian nodded, "A gentleman's word is as good as a horse's back!" This is what he learned from watching the video last night.
"Okay, then I will trust you as a gentleman. Go ahead, be careful on the road."
Fang Jian responded and walked out quickly.
The two little ones saw them and asked, "Where is the eldest brother going?"
Fang Fang thought for a while, "I guess he went to watch the video at the second grandfather's place."
An hour later, Fang Jian came back as promised. Fang Mingche also picked out the books he wanted to buy. He actually bought a lot of comic books, and he let Fang Fang and the other three choose them. The three siblings were very happy to choose.
Fang Kang said, "Dad, can't we take it back to our own home?"
"The reading room is not far away, it's right at the village branch. If you want to read it, just walk over and you'll see it. You have to learn to share! The more people read a book, the more valuable it is. Moreover, without anyone to take care of it, these comic books will probably be scattered soon or borrowed and not returned."
Fang Mingche asked Fang Fang to take Yanyan to sit in the front, and he, Fang Jian, and Fang Kang sat in the back.
The villagers who followed the car into the county town also finished their own affairs and rushed to join. Because there were two or three hundred books piled up in the back, it was a little more crowded than when they came. Fang Mingche held Fang Kang and sat on his lap.
Fang Jian watched another episode of "Chu Liuxiang". Although it was not connected with last night's, he was very satisfied.
Fang Mingche said, "Do you want to read it often?"
Fang Jian looked over, and he definitely wanted to. But even if Second Grandpa allowed him to go there often, he had to be able to enter the county town.
Fang Mingche said, "There are many other characters in Gu Long's works that are as wonderful as Chu Liuxiang. Xiao Shiyilang, Shen Shengyi, Lu Xiaofeng, Li Xunhuan, Ximen Chuixue, Ye Gucheng, Shen Lang."
Fang Jian knew Gu Long. When the video started yesterday, it was revealed: the original author Gu Long. So, there are many novels and videos as good as "Chu Liuxiang"?
Fang Mingche said, "Not only Gu Long, but also Jin Yong. Jin Yong's Fei Xue Lian Tian She Bai Lu and Xiao Shu Shen Xia Yi Bi Yuan. These two are masters!"
Fang Jian's eyes widened, "Dad, how do you know so much? Oh, by the way, you are the best reader in the village."
So reading best also includes reading martial arts novels?
Fang Mingche said, "Yes, I am the best reader in the village. So I like to read these and no one will say anything. I can read them if I want. And, I can go to Guangzhou if I want."
The villagers next to them have been listening to the uncle and nephew talking. Everyone was a little surprised. How can you teach your children like this?
Fang Jian repeated, "You can go whenever you want?"
"Yes. I can get a letter of introduction to buy sleeper and plane tickets, and I have money to buy tickets. For example, this summer vacation, can't I go whenever I want?"
Fang Mingche did not shy away from saying this in front of the villagers. It is estimated that only Brother Mingfeng in the village is willing to spend money to buy a sleeper ticket.
Fang Jian was shocked. Dad is so lucky. Is this the golden house in the book?
Fang Mingche said, "The road has been pointed out to you. As long as you study hard, you can make your own decisions in the future. You have the ability to get whatever you want."
Fang Jian nodded repeatedly.
"A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. You should first find a way to get the 5 yuan scholarship."
"Yeah."
After returning, Fang Mingche handed the books to the people in the village branch office and left them alone. He was going to take a few children back for lunch.
Fang's mother said that Han Ping and Fang Mingcheng had been here before, and they said they would come again when he came back. He nodded, "Oh."
Fang's mother said, "It seems that they have something serious to talk to you about."
"They probably want to go to the capital with me to develop."
"There are so many people in the village, you can't manage them all!"
Fang Mingche said, "I definitely can't manage them all, so I said that the travel agency requires people who know English or driving. If they are willing, it's okay to take them. I also need more people of my own in the travel agency."
Fang's mother nodded when she heard this, "Is that so? That's fine. Alas, your eldest brother..."
"Let him farm for a few years first. It's a mess outside now. Let's talk about it after a few years when it's better."
In the past few years, it is actually the safest for an honest man like the eldest brother to stay in the village and farm quietly. Moreover, everyone in the surrounding area knows that he has a capable younger brother in the capital, so no one will target him.
The key is that the old man and the eldest brother have been farming for so many years. Now that the output is contracted to each household, they will definitely not be willing to let them experience a bumper harvest.
Fang's mother thought about it and decided that if outsiders were involved, it was impossible for her to ignore her brother. So she said, "Okay, I'll listen to you."
The old man said that Mingche stood high and had a long-term vision ,
so it was right to listen to him in the general direction. After lunch, Han Ping and Fang Mingcheng came again. After getting Fang Mingche's approval, they said, "We will find a way to learn to drive a tractor right now."
This is not a problem. As long as they pay money from the branch secretary, they can borrow a tractor and a tractor driver. The two of them pooled their money and learned from the tractor driver in the open space
. Many people in the village also saw it, so they said, "We want to go to the capital with Mingche. But he only wants people who know foreign languages or know how to drive. We want to learn to drive a tractor."
There are not many people like them who are willing to leave their hometown, parents, wives and children.
For example, the tractor driver, he is actually Fang Mingche's distant cousin. But he is a tractor driver in the village, which is a good job limited to truck drivers. Moreover, he only drives around the county town, which is very safe. He doesn't want to travel thousands of miles to be a blind migrant.
And Ma Baoguo doesn't want to go either. He really wanted a wife and children. Although the latter woman was not as literate as Wu Dan, she was devoted to him. She would not divorce him immediately if she could not return to Beijing. His son was about to be born!
Moreover, Wu Dan could send back 10 yuan a month, so she should be living quite well now. He certainly did not want to see her.
There were other people who were reluctant to pay to learn how to drive a tractor. The Party Secretary charged a lot of money! Moreover, even if they learned, Fang Mingche had not promised them anything. Even if he needed a driver, he would not need many.
His brother had not gone to the capital, and it might not be all good for him to go there.
After that, Fang Mingche stayed at home leisurely. Yanyan went to the reading room with Kang Kang to read books every day. Fang Jian and Fang Fang also needed help picking jasmine flowers and the like. They were people who had nothing to do all day.
The reading room was mostly filled with young children like them. Everyone went in and sat in a row to read comic books. On the contrary, books about farming and other categories had not attracted much attention for the time being.
Everyone was busy in the fields. The only record of lending out the book is a book about fish farming, which was borrowed by the family who contracted the village pond.
Well, Fang Mingche does farm work all day, but everyone is used to it, and no one gossips. He has not had to work since he was in school. Now that he has contributed a lot of money to both his family and the village, there is no problem.
The mountains and rivers in his hometown are beautiful. When the sun goes down, he takes Yanyan and Kangkang to sit or lie on the hillside behind the house. Watch the white clouds and listen to the gurgling water. Sometimes Fang Jian and Fang Fang would come together.
Yuan Shufen cooked the meal, shouted to the hillside behind the house, and everyone went home to eat.
The life that Fang Jian wanted to live in the future became concrete. He wanted to live like his youngest father. To live such a life, the clear path his youngest father pointed out to him was: study hard and make progress every day!
On this day, someone came to see Fang Mingche again. The visitor introduced himself, "My name is Xu Sheng, and I'm a former student of Teacher Fang."
Fang Mingche was not at home at the moment. He took his daughter, nephew and niece to the ditch to scoop up loaches with a scoop.
Yanyan had been having fun these few days since she came back! She thought it was fun to be in the countryside.
Fang's father found the name Xu Sheng familiar, and then he saw that the other party was dressed decently and came on a motorcycle. An idea flashed in his mind, and he thought of the student who had sold the electronic watch.
"Oh, come in and sit down. Your teacher Fang took a few children to scoop up loaches."
Xu Sheng laughed. He didn't expect that Teacher Fang still had such childishness.
Fang's father thought that this was probably because he didn't come to the temple for no reason. And since he was doing business in the black market, he must be very busy. He asked the kid next door to help him call someone.
The other party had eaten a lot of snacks brought back from the capital shared by Yanyan during this period, and he ran over quickly.
The five of Fang Mingche were now barefoot, with their trouser legs rolled up high in the ditch, and the gaps between their toes were full of mud. Yanyan was a little more ladylike at first, and she wore the sun hat she brought back, and basically never went into the water.
Later, she was too lazy to wear the hat, and now the sun was about to set. No one in the farmland wore one, so she refused to wear one herself. As for going into the ditch, it has become a common occurrence now.
Fang Mingche heard that one of his students came to see him on a motorcycle, and after thinking about it, he thought it might be Xu Sheng. Nowadays, few country people can afford bicycles. The only one he knew who had a motorcycle was Xu Sheng.
When he came back, it was indeed him. Fang Mingche said happily, "Why did you think of coming to see me?"
Xu Sheng stood up, "I heard that the teacher can get a letter of introduction, and I want to go to the capital with him."
He was going to open up a supply channel in the north. Originally, he was going to ask someone to get a letter of introduction, but when he heard that Fang Mingche was back, he came to him.
Last year, Fang Mingche actually wanted to owe Xu Sheng a favor for selling electronic watches.
The first time, it can be said that Xu Sheng was repaying him for the money he paid for Xu's mother's medical treatment; but the second time, after the New Year, the electronic watches were not selling well, but
Fang Mingche still accepted them all. This took up his working capital. Originally, the money could have been used to buy some more salable goods. However, those goods were not easy for Fang Mingche to carry. There were only electronic watches, which were expensive and did not take up space. When electronic watches first came out, they were very popular, and the price was almost the same as ordinary watches. It was only after some years that the price was brought down.
So this time, when Xu Sheng came to him, Fang Mingche must have agreed without hesitation.
So when Fang Mingche left on July 22, the following people were going to follow him: Fang Jian, Fang Fang, the second aunt, Fang Minghui, Han Ping, Fang Mingcheng, and Xu Sheng.
The secretary of the branch gave everyone a letter of introduction for visiting relatives. But Han Ping was actually visiting a friend, not a relative.
The secretary said, "There is no option for visiting a friend in the letter of introduction, so just say you are a cousin. Then there is no need for you to prove this for a group of people." The same thing was done to Xu Sheng.
Well, the letter of introduction issued by the secretary of the branch was to facilitate everyone to stay in the capital. As for buying sleeper tickets, Fang Mingche filled out the blank letter of introduction with the official seal he brought back and bought it himself.
Fang Mingche bought four sleeper tickets. He took Fang Jian, Fang Minghui took Yanyan, the second aunt took Fang Fang, and Xu Sheng was alone. The four tickets were in one place. The second aunt and Fang Minghui were on the lower berth, and he and Xu Sheng were on the middle berth.
As for Han Ping and Fang Mingcheng, they must have paid for their travel expenses out of their own pockets. Therefore, even if they had the opportunity to buy sleeper berths, they chose the hard seats on the same train. It's just that their belongings are all on the sleeper side, which is much safer.
There were nine people in total, and Fang Mingche used his second uncle's relationship to charter a 12-seat van in the county town to take them up. The two extra seats were used to store luggage. This is much more convenient.
The two people on the hard seats are young people, so don't worry about them. There is one old man and three children on the sleeper side, but fortunately there are Minghui and Xu Sheng. So the journey was quite relaxing.
It was already past four o'clock in the afternoon of July 24 when the train arrived in the capital.
At this time, the travel agency's business car was still picking up tourists, and there were still only pickup trucks to pick up. In the first five seats, the children were placed on their laps and squeezed together. However, Han Ping and Fang Mingcheng had to go to the carriage.
When the car drove to the small side yard, everyone got off.
Lin Yan came out holding her son, "Second aunt, Minghui, Mingcheng, Han Ping, and our Yanyan and Changchang's brother and sister, please come in."
Lin's mother has already gone home, and her grandson is already two months old. It is no problem for Lin Yan, a mother who does not work and does not cook, to take care of the child by herself.
However, Lin Yan can only hold her son, and the little guy still needs to be held by someone during the day.
Fang Mingche put down the suitcase, went to get a basin of hot water and brought it out, and asked everyone to wash their faces with hot water with their towels.
It was still early, and brother Mingfeng and his wife should wait for Fang Tong to come after school.
Han Ping and Fang Mingcheng had stated on the way that they were not afraid and could live in the west room of the main house.
Han Ping was really not afraid. When he was a child, he slept next to his grandmother, but his grandmother passed away in the middle of the night. He was not afraid when he got up in the morning, and he ran to call his father and mother. Fang Mingcheng also said that it was okay, which old house had not had people die?
So Fang Mingche called Lin Yan and asked her to arrange for someone to add a big bed to the west room and settle the two first.
As for Fang Jian, he lived in Yanyan's room. Yanyan lived with Fang Fang in her parents' former room. Fang Mingche moved to the main house's east room in the future. As for
Xu Sheng, Fang Mingche certainly couldn't let him go out and live in a guesthouse by himself. He arranged for Xu Sheng to live in the room next to Gao Xiang.
Wasn't that room vacant a few days ago? But Gao's mother did not agree to bring Xiao Xie's sister to take care of herself now. When Xiao Xie got pregnant, she had no objection to this operation.
But now Xiao Xie wanted to bring her sister to take her place and go to work at the travel agency, but Gao's mother did not agree.
Even if Gao Xiang said it again and again, she still didn't agree. Wasn't it for Xiao Xie to come to Beijing to take care of herself? Now everything is getting better, do you dislike yourself?
This ideological work was not done well, so Fang Mingche simply asked Lin Yan to rent that space first. His original intention was to let Han Ping and Fang Mingcheng live there. Now, let Xu Sheng live there first. Liu Qingfeng and others helped to take care of the place.
Now that everyone has washed their faces, they sit down to rest. Yanyan and her two siblings take turns to take a bath first, followed by the adults.
Second aunt and Minghui plan to go to brother Mingfeng's place to wash after dinner. Just wipe it for now.
Fang Mingfeng and his family of three arrived at 5:30, and then prepared to have dinner.
Lin Yan told Fang Mingche, "In the past half month, Wang Dexian has come back to his mother's house every day for dinner, and Yangmei has also come over for two Sundays."
The neighbors must know that Wang Dexian doesn't come back so often, and he must have been entrusted by Fang Mingche.
The people in the slum are a force, and Wang Dexian represents another force.
Fang Mingche came back today, and Wang Dexian also came, so there must be a handover.
"Here, your wife and children are safe and sound."
Fang Mingche smiled, "Thanks."
"Who are you guarding against?"
"They didn't do anything, I'm just taking precautions. Don't tell anyone."
Wang Dexian was not completely clueless, "Forget it, if you don't want to tell anyone, then don't tell anyone. It's time to have dinner, right? I'll go call Qin Hua."
Qin Hua especially liked to participate in such dinner parties. Although he said he disliked her for many things, he still loved this girl very much.
When Qin Hua came out, she immediately got together with Yan Yan.
Fang Mingche joked, "They are friends regardless of age."
One is almost five years old, and the other is almost thirteen years old. This has crossed the boundary between children and teenagers, and can be considered friends regardless of age.
Yan Yan introduced Fang Fang to Qin Hua, "Sister Qin Hua, this is my cousin Fang Fang."
Fang Fang also called her "Sister Qin Hua" openly.
When Fang Mingche went home last year, he bought two sets of clothes for his nephew and niece. This year, he will bring them to BJ, so there is no need to say more.
Fang Fang was wearing the same set of clothes as Yanyan, a short-sleeved shirt and knee-length shorts made of breathable fabric. Fang Mingche had gotten the cloth from the tailor Fan Tuoer to make them for the sisters.
The clothes Yanyan brought back were unisex, and many of them were left for Kang Kang. She won't be able to wear them next summer, but Kang Kang is shorter than her, so he can still wear them.
Qin Hua smiled and said, "Hello, Fang Fang. You look like Brother Mingche!"
Most people around called Fang Mingche "Teacher Fang", but she always called him "Brother Mingche". Fang Mingche had a good relationship with her brother.
Fang Fang was stunned when she heard this. You call my dad brother?
Yanyan reacted and explained, "We talk about adults and children separately."
Wang Dexian was also talking to Fang Jian, "The boy is good-looking. In fact, everyone in your family is good-looking, including the little guy named Kang Kang."
Fang Mingche said, "Our family has good genes, it's inherited."
At this point, he felt that Wang Dexian really didn't inherit his mother's beauty.
But his grandpa, grandma, uncle, and aunt don't seem to look that good either. Then his mother is purely a genetic lottery.
Last time, when Fang Mingche heard that Wang Dexian's elders were coming, he couldn't help but stand at the entrance of the alley and take a look. This is the conclusion he came to.
So, it seems that it's not strange that Wang Dexian didn't inherit the genetic lottery. But Qin Hua is good-looking, and the key is that his father is also good-looking.
Everyone went to have dinner together and called Gao Xiang and Lingzi.
"The batch of goods sent to Tokyo was dispatched yesterday. Wu Mingju should have received them by now. He said that he was a little too busy to handle it alone, and asked whether the family should send someone over or recruit someone there. I thought about what you promised the people below that those who do well will have the opportunity to be posted abroad, so you said that we will send them over. Who will you send?" Wang Dexian asked while waiting for the dishes.
Han Mei at the next table pricked up her ears. There are not many people in the Japanese group, and Wu Mingju has been sent to Tokyo, so Cui Yingqi can't go there anyway.
Personally, he is preparing to get married. It is definitely not a good time to send him out; publicly, the travel agency's Japanese group needs a leader who can take the lead. Otherwise, how can they continue to teach people Japanese and develop new people?
Therefore, only Qin Tian and Han Mei are left. Han Mei's heart is pounding.
Fang Mingche said, "I will talk to Qin Tian tomorrow to see if he is willing to go."
Others are probably willing to earn this high salary, but Qin Tian still needs to convince his grandfather to believe it.
Han Mei was a little disappointed, but she thought about how she had only been employed for a few days and had nothing to do, and even had a basic salary of 30 per month, so she could only rank behind Qin Tian.
However, although the basic salary was not high, as long as the final payment for the shipment to Tokyo could be received smoothly, her brother-in-law promised to reward her according to her merits. And if such business could continue in the future, it would be great. There would always be a bonus, which was better than when she joined the English team. After all, there was no order from Qiu Yin.
After dinner, Wang Dexian said, "Okay, I'm going back after completing my mission."
Fang Mingche said, "I'm going to Tokyo again in half a month. Is it too late for Qin Tian to apply for a passport and visa?"
Wang Dexian said, "Half a month is fine, it's just right for you to go together."
Fang Mingche said to Xiao Shen, the leader of the driver team, "I received a call from Wu Mingju that he had received the goods, so I came over to tell him."
The three drivers came almost at the same time, and Xiao Hu actually came earlier. Everyone performed about the same, but Xiao Shen was on duty during the New Year, so there was a tendency for him to be promoted. Xiao Shen will be promoted first.
"Okay."
