Chapter 178 Attack from afar and make
friends nearby Although Fang Mingche was prepared to get back his previous position by arguing with Qi Shun about whether to pay taxes according to the law. But after all, that tax law will not be implemented until the New Year's Day next year. So, he just said it here first.
He tried his best to unite the five neighbors in the slum who were also doing business. Attack from afar and make friends nearby!
He didn't want to annex the six countries, so of course he didn't need to make friends with distant countries and attack nearby. He just wanted his family to be safe.
This strategy was generally more realistic. At least these five people would not attack his family, and that was enough.
There were also Liu Qingfeng, Geng Shan, and Gao Xiang next door, who all supported him. Song Quan, more than 80% of the business now has something to do with him. And the Gu family and Aunt Yuan all have a good relationship with him. Generally speaking, his relationship with neighbors is still okay.
But Qi Shun, who caused A Yan to lose her vegetable business that could earn more than 30,000 yuan a year, made her angry for a while when she was pregnant. This account cannot be settled. It
's hard to let go of good money! Moreover, he certainly can't let people really treat him as a soft persimmon! Otherwise, people who covet his business and property will emerge in an endless stream. Especially in the future, his wealth should be more and more amazing.
Even now, when the average monthly income of the capital is only a few dozen, his two businesses add up to a monthly income of 20,000! Money is attractive!
From thieves like Liu Sanwa to high-ranking officials like Cao Ze who want to take advantage of others, haven't they all targeted him before? Fang Mingche thinks it's good to have a character who will take revenge for any slight, and clearly distinguish between gratitude and resentment.
So, it doesn't matter if people say that he will take revenge for any slight. Anyway, listen to the Chairman: If others don't offend me, I won't offend others; if others offend me, I will offend them.
Hu Yong and the other five walked out of the small side courtyard and couldn't help looking at each other. Really, I didn't expect intellectuals to be so vengeful!
Hu Yong and the other four were fine. They just took advantage of the Fang family and didn't take the initiative to do anything to them. When the Fang family had something to do, they all contributed money and effort within their ability. This is an attitude after all!
But Zhu Dahai really stabbed the Fang family in the back, and once wanted to steal the next customer of Lin Yan's vegetable business. He gave up because he couldn't do it, and he felt that he couldn't afford to offend Teacher Fang.
Hu Yong looked at him, "Fortunately, Teacher Fang doesn't bear a grudge against you." Otherwise, I don't think you are her opponent in either literature or martial arts.
Zhu Dahai exhaled and said nothing.
He actually noticed that Fang Mingche was too lazy to bother with him. Moreover, the eldest child of the Fang family is less than five years old, and the youngest has just turned a hundred days old. As long as he doesn't provoke his family, Fang Mingche shouldn't be a problem.
Moreover, didn't he help Fang Mingche last time his car was stolen and his son was scared? Of course, Fang Mingche invited his family to watch TV with everyone in May. So, he really wanted to resolve the conflict with him.
Zhu Dahai can make money ten months a year, earning about six or seven thousand. There are peak and off-seasons, and there are two months of extreme weather.
During those two months, people in the capital could only eat stored cabbage to survive the winter. The vegetable business could not be done at that time, and the hens were too cold to lay eggs.
As for Liu Qingfeng, who took over his position at the scrap yard, he is said to have an annual income of 4,000 yuan. However, from September last year to now, the business of the scrap yard has been on an upward trend. Moreover, he really doesn't have to worry so much about himself, and he has to transport vegetables before dawn.
For Liu Qingfeng, Fang Mingche always points out the general direction for him in everything. There is someone to take care of whatever happens! The key is that maybe in another year or two, he will surpass himself.
The scrap business seems to have a high ceiling, and Liu Qingfeng can get a commission. Well, Gengshan is about the same now. But I heard that Liu Qingfeng will soon be in charge of two stores and get a share from the two stores. Fang Mingche is ready to let Liu Qingfeng do the management.
Forget it, no more comparison. My income is still good now, and I can become a millionaire in two years. Besides, he can't go back.
Fang Mingche asked Wang Dexian to find out what the current situation of Qin Mu and Cao Ze was in their family.
On this Sunday, Wang Dexian came to see his mother, stepfather, and sister.
He told Fang Mingche by the way, "Cao Ze seems to have been sent to the northwest to plant trees. My third brother and eldest brother Qin told him about his casual display of a gun. Elder brother Qin carefully investigated his previous behaviors. The Qin family and the Cao family believed that he would probably bring trouble to the family in the future. So he was sent to an uncle who went to the northwest for training, and asked his uncle to keep an eye on him. This would prevent him from causing any trouble in the capital. With someone watching nearby, nothing should happen in the northwest. As for Qin Mu, I heard that he was scolded. But because he was not the one who showed his gun, he was just a matchmaker, so he continued to manage the Cantonese restaurant."
Fang Mingche said, "Nowadays, there are more and more private restaurants, and the quality of some of the meals is very good. I plan to introduce a few more as a backup. Only with competition can there be progress."
It is not easy to directly cut off the business with the Cantonese restaurant managed by Qin Mu, but a few more can be introduced to reduce cooperation with him. In this way, the economic interests of the travel agency will not be damaged.
However, as long as the Qin family is in power, the business of the Cantonese restaurant should not be bad. They mainly accept orders with public funds.
Wang Dexian said, "Okay, let's talk business. And it's good to give tourists more choices. Tsk, those century-old restaurants are so arrogant, it's like we beg them to reserve seats. We can also cooperate with more private restaurants. As long as the hygiene, taste, environment and other aspects are acceptable."
He didn't participate in the specific things, but he also heard the tour guides complain.
If there are more alternative private restaurants for tourists in the tour group to choose from, the Qin family will not lose money. Before, what they valued was the name of earning foreign exchange. But in fact, that little foreign exchange was really not much, it was just convenient to exchange it for foreign exchange coupons to buy things that required foreign exchange.
Now it's not cut off, they also make choices based on tourists' feedback and wishes. The Wang family can't be completely without temper.
Fang Mingche smiled, "The century-old store has regained its vitality, it is famous and in short supply. Even foreign gluttons often come here because of the reputation, and they don't rely on us. Just like state-owned factories and shops, they don't have to worry about business."
If you don't ask for anything, how polite can they be to us?
Wang Dexian shook his head, "I don't think this situation will last long. If we really want to support state-owned enterprises like before, we will not encourage individual economy. Haven't you always held this view and said that we will not lose to CITS?"
"Yes, that's what I think. Otherwise, why are we struggling? When CITS resumes normal operations, we can just surrender. By the way, let me tell you something."
"What?"
Fang Mingche said, "As for our dividends, we will start paying them from October 15th, in four installments, together with the employees' salaries."
Nowadays, there is no policy that allows year-end bonuses to be taxed at twelve
points, so he can only split it himself. Otherwise, he will receive a one-time bonus of 8,000 yuan at the beginning of next year, and he will have to pay 1,385 yuan even if the tax is collected in a tiered manner! If he splits it this way, he will get 2,000 yuan a month and pay 85 yuan in taxes each month. In four months, he only needs to pay 340 yuan in taxes, which saves more than 1,000 yuan
. The scrap yard has not yet obtained a business license, and taxes have not yet been collected. The money is directly in his personal bank passbook.
When taxes are collected, it will be put aside for the time being, and there will be opportunities to use it to buy cars and office buildings in the future. When there is no limit on the number of employees in the future, it can be expanded, and administrative staff will still be needed, so offices will be needed.
Wang Dexian quickly understood Fang Mingche's intention, "Then my old man gets 750 at a time. Sure, with his original salary and welfare allowances, it's just over a thousand. The part that needs to be taxed is more than 200. With a 5% tax rate, it's more than ten yuan. But, then I can only divide it into 250 at a time, right?"
Since he can get dividends from the travel agency continuously, he must have studied the "Personal Income Tax Law". With this split, he doesn't have to pay taxes directly, which is good. But 250, it doesn't sound good.
Fang Mingche smiled, "You don't receive the full amount, and we have to deduct the part you advance. Next time we divide dividends, it shouldn't be 12,000. Well, next year we will try to divide it monthly. Try to get 2,400 a month to share, and you have to experience the fun of making money!"
This split is very reasonable. Otherwise, he may be taxed at the highest level of 45%. It's scary to think about it. 12,000 for a share, and 5,400 in taxes! I can't bear it, I can't bear it!
Wang Dexian laughed, "If I can earn 200 yuan a month, that would be great."
He can only dress very simply at work, but after work, outside of the eight hours, he and Yangmei can live a more carefree life.
For example, he can hire a black car for Yangmei to pick her up and drop her off at work. Being a doctor is really hard! It would be good if she could relax when she goes to and from work. Otherwise, she would complain to him about not being able to go to Japan for fun.
Wang Dexian thought for a while and said, "Then why don't you just pay out all the dividends this year before New Year's Day?"
"I'm going to buy three commercial vehicles soon. The initial installation fee for the phone is 5,000 yuan, which is 110,000 yuan! Do you think there will be extra money in the account before New Year's Day? At least I have to keep some for the house in case of emergency."
Wang Dexian couldn't help but sigh. Commercial vehicles are indeed too expensive. Most of the money earned is spent on this!
But after this purchase, they will have four commercial vehicles, worth 140,000 yuan! In addition, Xiao Fang said that he wanted to buy houses, office buildings, and storefronts in Tokyo and London, so the proportion of fixed assets would be very high.
Fang Mingche said, "The growth trend should be very good. The key is that in foreign countries, you can pay the down payment and then the monthly payment. The monthly payment can almost offset the rent, and the monthly payment may even be lower than the rent if the price increases in the future."
London houses have 999-year property rights, and Japanese houses have permanent property rights. Of course, you have to pay property taxes. But at this time point, it is definitely more cost-effective to buy.
Wait until the Japanese economy collapses in 1991 and then sell the property in Tokyo to make a high price. Anyway, it can drop by more than 60% in a year, and then buy it back. London's economy has not collapsed like this in the next 30 or 40 years, so it can be held for a long time.
Wang Dexian nodded, "Well, it is indeed better to buy than to rent."
He also wanted to convey the matter of down payment and then monthly payment to his good third brother. They also said that this operation is more cost-effective to buy than to rent.
I heard that foreign countries and Hong Kong buy properties in this way. Only in China, you have to pay it all at once.
Oh, he has to save half of his dividends so that he can take them out when the houses are divided. His father probably won't give him money anymore, and by then it will probably be time for his youngest son to spend money.
Last time he got married, his stepmother was really dissatisfied!
She said that he had more money than the couple combined. Not only did she not see any filial piety, but she also had to pay for such a big son. His father listened to a lot of pillow talk, so it was inevitable that he would have some opinions.
When the dividends are distributed, he should still show some appreciation. He told his father that he didn't need to pay attention to his stepmother and the younger one.
After the two talked about profit distribution, they talked about personnel matters.
The travel agency office is gradually increasing in staff. Fang Mingche no longer interviews ordinary staff in person. Lingzi, the office director, is still doing the job of human resources manager, and has not yet divided the powers. It's just a makeshift team, why divide it so finely? It would save some labor costs.
The three illegal workers in Tokyo have not yet made up their minds to come back. There's no rush. Even if one of them doesn't come back, we can buy a car for the Japanese group after the National Day so that we won't be without a tour guide. A mediocre person is fine as long as they can communicate.
After the 100-day banquet, Fang Mingche talked to Wei You about sending him to London for two years.
"You make your own choice. Just tell me your decision before school starts."
It should be no problem to apply for a visa in early September and go there after the National Day. Qiu Yin said that for the time being she could hire local Chinese students and let them work and study part-time.
Wei You must be struggling. He had finally been admitted to a technical secondary school and was definitely planning to study. But being able to work in the UK is such a rare opportunity! For ordinary people nowadays, going abroad is almost impossible in their lifetime.
He went back to discuss it with his parents, and his parents looked at each other in bewilderment. This was beyond his parents' cognition.
Uncle Wei asked Lin's father again.
Father Lin thought for a long time and said, "If you don't get into the technical secondary school, it would be great to be stationed in London. I heard that the starting salary is 850. With commission, it's estimated to be over a thousand."
What does over a thousand mean? A worker with a few years of work experience in a large state-owned factory in the capital has to work for two years!
He must have heard Han Mei talking about it at home. But no matter
how much money there is, the family will definitely not let their daughter-in-law who has been married for less than a year go out. Yes, he also knows that the crux is actually with his son. Lin Yi is not motivated, so they are worried that Han Mei will go out to see the world and have the opportunity to leave the travel agency and the control of the Lin family. But everyone has selfish motives. It is impossible to support their daughter-in-law without asking about gains and losses, right? There is no water in his brain.
Uncle Wei was not surprised how he knew the starting salary in London. After all, the travel agency was opened by the son-in-law, and Wei You could go to the travel agency whenever he wanted, relying on this relationship. Although in the final analysis, it was because he was a high school student and was down-to-earth. But at least this is a stepping stone!
"Who says it's not? If you've passed the entrance exam to a technical college, you won't have to hesitate." Comparing technical college with being posted abroad in London, it's really hard to choose between them.
Since it concerns the future of his child, Lin's father dared not give any advice carelessly. If he said something wrong, he was afraid of being blamed in the future. It is almost human instinct to vent anger on others. No matter how close the person is, you should be cautious when giving advice to others.
After Han Mei knew about this, her teeth were a little sour. But she was also gradually accepting the reality. As long as she was the daughter-in-law of the Lin family, she probably would not have the opportunity to be stationed abroad. It was not bad to be given the position of future office director. I heard that Lingzi earned more than 200 in August! It is equivalent to Lin Yi's income for half a year.
In the end, Wei You considered it again and again and decided to go to technical secondary school. The opportunity to be stationed abroad is rare, but when he finishes his studies, he will still have the opportunity to apply for a job in a travel agency. Brother-in-law Fang actually attaches great importance to academic qualifications when hiring people.
If there was no high school education threshold, it would be easier for travel agencies to recruit people. Now there are gradually rumors that travel agencies have good treatment.
When people asked again, they found out that the office was in the Overseas Chinese Apartment. It became credible all of a sudden!
So in the end, it was Fei Ming who handed in all kinds of documents to Lingzi in early September to apply for a visa to the UK.
Fei Ming was a high school graduate recruited before. But like Han Mei, his score was too far from the passing line, so he gave up directly. Now that he can go to London to make a lot of money and his English level can be greatly improved, he definitely said he would go without any hesitation.
Lingzi gave Han Mei the task of running errands for Fei Ming's visa. She told her the location, process and required documents.
"Go and try it. If we really open a tourist route for overseas travel in the future, we will also need to apply for visas for domestic tourists. Practice first!"
Han Mei nodded, "Okay."
"In addition, you should also put the installation of the telephone and the relocation of the current one back to my house on your calendar. Teacher Fang requires this transition to be completed before National Day."
Han Mei lowered her head and wrote it down on the to-do list.
"There is another good job. Teacher Fang asked us to find more private restaurants near tourist attractions for cooperation. We may need to taste the food later, so you can go by yourself."
Maybe some restaurants will let Han Mei bring her family to increase her chances of being selected. In fact, it is not a big deal. Even if she takes Lin Yi, her parents-in-law, her parents from her mother's side, and her brother with her, they can't eat much. But it makes the travel agency look bad and damages its reputation.
Han Mei nodded. This is really a good job! Even no less than Zhu Bajie, the altar purifier.
Lingzi lowered her voice, "Teacher Fang is more serious about financial issues. If someone gives you a red envelope, don't accept it. We can get a lot of money on weekdays."
As long as the people in the travel agency can survive the first one or two months, they will have a considerable income. The tour guides and drivers who lead the group will receive commissions from tourists buying things and eating, and the administrative staff will also receive commissions from selling handicrafts in Tokyo and London.
Han Mei nodded, "Okay, I won't lose the big picture for the small. Thank you Director Zhou for your advice!"
Lingzi smiled, "In fact, you are relatives, and you must be someone who knows what's going on. I'm just in this position, and it's useless to remind you." If something happens, don't say I didn't remind you.
Han Mei has been working in the travel agency for more than three months, and she knows very well that she is telling the truth. My brother-in-law has emphasized more than once that financial issues are no small matter! Travel agencies are high-paying to maintain integrity, so don't stretch your hands when you shouldn't!
Han Mei went downstairs and rode Lin Yan's women's bicycle to do some work. After Lin Yan became pregnant, she rarely used the bicycle, and now it has become a special car for administrative staff to go out to do business.
After all, the small truck is not usually in the office of the Overseas Chinese Apartment. Besides, it is a car from someone else's scrap yard, and it is only lent to travel agencies to deliver goods to the docks and airports occasionally.
Lingzi exhaled a breath. She was actually very optimistic about Han Mei as the successor. Otherwise, she wouldn't have mentioned so much. It's just that she doesn't know when the office in the United States can be opened. For various reasons, she wanted to go there earlier.
Gao Xiang didn't have class today, so he was in the small office. Nowadays, there are more and more financial matters, especially those involving the issue of dividends for everyone. He came here with the business car in the morning. When he is not in class, he is basically in the office.
Well, Xiao Xie is also there. She is still a newcomer in the office and does odd jobs part-time. Her education level is really too low. If it weren't for Gao Xiang, she wouldn't have been able to get in at all.
So after work, Xiao Xie has to go to night school near the compound for extra lessons. This degree is recognized by the country, not to mention the travel agency.
Gao Xiang has to take care of his own studies while taking care of the financial affairs of the travel agency and the scrap yard, and he also has to learn more financial knowledge by himself. He really doesn't have the energy to give her extra lessons himself. Then paying to go to night school is the best choice.
Today's night schools are very formal, and the teachers who teach students are from the university.
Lingzi knocked on the door and entered the small office, "Teacher Gao, are you busy?"
Gao Xiang stopped what he was doing, pushed his glasses and asked, "What do you want to talk to me about?"
What could the office director do to find him, the financial manager?
Lingzi sat down on the chair in front of him, "I want to ask privately, how long will it take to earn the cost of opening an office in the UK? I don't mean anything else, I just want to know when the office can be opened in the United States."
Yingzi has been there for several months, and I don't know the specific situation. Well, Yingzi has never sent back a penny!
Her father must be very angry. But it's really high and the emperor is far away, there is nothing he can do to Yingzi. He can only scold Yingzi at home for being unfilial and having no conscience.
Besides, he also hopes that Yingzi will be qualified in the future, so that he can also go out and enjoy life.
Her father asked her to borrow a few photos of Teacher Fang and Yanyan taken in Tokyo to take home. The high-rise buildings and the scenes of eating, drinking and having fun made her parents very jealous.
They heard from their uncle that as long as they can become naturalized, the unemployment benefits in the United States are very high. Many people who receive unemployment benefits also live in small villas and drive cars.
Yingzi doesn't send a penny back. Lingzi feels that she can feel at ease if she pays 20 yuan for food a month and hands over another 10 yuan. Her parents and brother were very unhappy about these two things, but Yingzi had already flown far away. She had also proved that she could leave the family and live alone. They could no longer be tough on her.
But if they were not tough, they could still use the route of soft persuasion and hard persuasion, and water dripping through the stone. Lingzi was a little overwhelmed!
Moreover, Lingzi actually still had some aspirations to go to the United States. After all, it was something her parents had brainwashed her about since her uncle came back.
In addition, Lin Yan felt that Lingzi had a crush on Fang Mingche out of admiration but didn't realize it, but in fact she still had some ideas in her heart. And she also knew that she had no chance at all. In this case, she might as well go out and try her luck while she was young.
The time abroad would not be long, so she would follow the path that Teacher Fang had carefully planned for her before, which was to go out for three to five years, save some money and come back to buy a house to rent or keep the foreign exchange for appreciation.
Lingzi valued the advice given by Fang Mingche very much. She also valued the things he gave her. She carefully collected the entire sheet of 80 golden monkey stamps and didn't use any of them.
Gao Xiang closed the account book in front of him, and then said: "We are actually taking a big step now. The main reason is that CITS is gradually recovering. We must take advantage of the fact that they have not yet received large-scale foreign tour groups to gain a firm foothold. But now the economy is a bit stretched, and we certainly can't expand. I guess the goal this year is to buy a car and consolidate the business of the two existing overseas offices."
Originally, it was to attract customers to go abroad, but now it is really a bit upside down, and it has become a way to sell handicrafts. Only by doing this can you make money. Not only can you be self-sufficient, but you can also bring domestic colleagues to earn commissions every month.
There are customers who are brought back, but the number is very small. So at present, on the one hand, we go to pick up a few tourists who have signed contracts abroad, and on the other hand, we still have to go to the airport to attract customers.
Tourists who have signed contracts abroad have certain discounts. This is also to expand the influence. In the future, we don't need to go to the airport to attract customers. We can just pick up tourists who have signed contracts to form a group. The step of going overseas can be considered stable.
It is definitely not so easy to take food from CITS. Every step must be taken steadily! It is very expensive to open an office in New York, USA. It is definitely not in the plan in the short term.
Lingzi nodded, "I understand."
Gao Xiang said, "Why don't you ask Teacher Fang?"
He and Lingzi are actually at the same level, and even the team leaders of the English and Japanese groups are currently on the same salary level. It's just that their commissions are based on the performance of the two groups. But the commission rates of the three team leaders under their command are higher than theirs. So everyone adds up and gets about the same amount.
"I'll just ask privately, there's no need to ask Teacher Fang specifically."
Lingzi smiled and stood up and walked out.
Xiao Xie was mopping the floor outside. Now there is no special cleaning, the last person to come will do the work. Xiao Xie came later than the previous few people recruited and has the lowest academic qualifications. He took over the broom and mop very consciously, and did not enjoy any privileges because her husband is the financial manager.
The house in this overseas Chinese apartment is usually very clean. Although the toilet is a squat toilet, it can be flushed away with a pull of the rope, so it is not dirty. Therefore, cleaning for two or three months after joining the company is not hard. Anyway, they all came from this step.
However, Lingzi said that the previous batch of people had just joined the company not long ago, and it was not reasonable for them to get rid of labor so quickly. Let them take turns with Xiao Xie.
Now there are only three of them in the office, and the newly recruited staff have all gone to the scenic spot to help. Usually Xiao Xie would go with them, so he asked Lao He's car to take them there in advance. Today it was her turn to clean, so she was in the office.
Xiao Xie finished cleaning the outside and went in to clean the small office.
She cleaned Fang Mingche's desk first, and then whispered: "Lingzi."
Gao Xiang looked over, "What do you want to say?"
He was actually a little strange just now. He felt that Lingzi seemed to avoid more contact with Xiao Fang, and she seemed to be very anxious to be sent abroad to the United States.
Xiao Xie poked the documents, books, etc. on the table to align them, and put them in the corner of the desk. This made the desk look much tidier.
"Lingzi seems to be a little different to Teacher Fang."
Xiao Xie didn't doubt why Lingzi came in to find Gao Xiang, she had long seen that Lingzi's eyes were particularly bright when she looked at Fang Mingche.
Gao Xiang saw that she and he were thinking the same thing. So he said, "She didn't want to do anything. For this kind of thing, it's best to leave no trace. Besides, just go to work, what are you talking about?"
Xiao Xie rolled his eyes at him, lowered his head and continued to work silently.
With the introduction of the "New Marriage Law", they were also stuck on the time node of family planning. Gao Xiang is a college student and still receives living allowance from his original school. This means that they can only have one child.
When Gao's mother heard Grandpa Gu laughing in the courtyard, she sighed on the hospital bed.
She sighed because she suddenly fell ill a few years ago, otherwise her son would have been married a few years ago. If things went their way, she might have more than one grandson or granddaughter now. She can only have one child in the future. If it's a granddaughter, she might not be able to explain to the old man in the underworld.
In the afternoon, Fang Mingche went home after two classes. He looked around and said, "Yan Yan hasn't come back yet?"
Starting this semester, Yan Yan has to take an extracurricular talent class from Monday to Saturday. He hired Master He's car to take her there after her Yuhong class, and then pick her up after the talent class at the Children's Palace.
If there was an order from the Children's Palace, Master He would go there if he had time. He would not go to other places. Could it be that today's order was far away, so he asked his daughter to wait for him after class at the Children's Palace? He always came back on a bicycle.
The Yuhong class finishes school early in the afternoon!
If this happens more often, just change a nearby, other black master to be responsible for picking her up. Nowadays, there are more and more people playing black games. There is a lot of room for development in this industry!
Lin Yan said: "It should be okay for her to wait in the Children's Palace for a while? Besides, there are comic books inside for her to read."
They are so familiar with each other, and you can't even give this little leniency to the master?
"Just wait for a while at the beginning. If we don't respond, then Yanyan may have to wait longer in the future. We haven't booked their time, so it's impossible for them to wait outside for Yanyan to finish class. However, we can't always let Yanyan wait for him. If this kind of waiting happens more often, you can ask if there are any familiar masters nearby who can be responsible for picking her up. When he hears the news, he will naturally know to restrain himself. Moreover, if they are really divided into two masters, they will be better able to arrange their time."
It's just that Master He may not be able to guarantee that he can get orders every time he sends Yanyan there and then goes out to take other orders.
Lin Yan thought about it and nodded. Okay, we should nip it in the bud.
Lin Daiyu confronted Zhou Ruijia because of the two palace flowers. Wasn't it to prevent problems from happening?
Otherwise, after a long time, the servants of the Jia Mansion, who looked rich and noble, would look down on her and bully her like they did to Yingchun. Could she still ask the old lady for help in everything? It was not a big deal. Zhou Ruijia just changed Aunt Xue's order to walk less and gave it to Lin Daiyu last. Aunt Xue originally planned to give it to Fengjie last, giving her four flowers. Although there was no choice, the number was large.
Zhou Ruijia gave it to Daiyu last, which was not in accordance with etiquette! At that time, Lin Ruhai was still alive and Daiyu was a guest. If she was treated as a guest, she should be given the first gift; if she was treated as a family member, she should be given the gift according to age. In any case, she should not be given the remaining two flowers last.
This is not petty, but it is not in accordance with etiquette. You have to resist when you should. If you don't react at all, others will take advantage of it.
Lin Yan held Fang Chang upright after he finished feeding, and gently patted the milk from his neck to his back to prevent him from spitting up. When she wanted to hold him horizontally again, the little guy refused and protested with whimpers.
Lin Yan simply handed him to Fang Mingche, who had washed his hands, and said, "Go to your dad and let him hold you."
She had been holding him for most of the day, and she wanted the father to hold him too.
Fang Mingche had already finished his homework at school, so he took it immediately.
"Oh, Changchang likes to be held upright, so let's hold him upright. The doctor said you are three months old and can be held upright. Let's go out and see why your sister hasn't come back yet." Fang Mingche said in a soft voice.
Changchang also likes to go out. He was carried by his father to the gate of the small side courtyard and watched his sister go home. He also looked out.
Yanyan did wait for Master He for more than ten minutes today. However, she did not go to the reading room of the Children's Palace to read books, but took out a copy of "Doraemon" that she brought with her and started reading.
The children who were dancing together came over to take a look, "Fang Shuyan, what are you looking at? These characters are like earthworms, twisting and turning."
Yanyan said, "Oh, this is Japanese, which is different from Chinese."
"You actually know Japanese?"
Yanyan thought about it, and her father told her not to show off in front of other children. So she said, "I guessed and looked at the pictures, and I knew the general meaning."
She has a small notebook, which she uses to remember Japanese words she doesn't know, and then she looks up the dictionary and writes down the meaning and pronunciation.
This comic book is a bit expensive, and she bought it with foreign currency. She was reluctant to write on it.
"How did you get a Japanese comic book?"
"Oh, my uncle went to Tokyo for a trip and brought it back for me. Although it's not Chinese, it's interesting to read."
The child followed her to read for a while, but didn't quite understand it, but it seemed fresher and more interesting than the comic book. Yanyan explained it to her.
The child was stunned, as she had never come into contact with this kind of comics.
"Yanyan——" Master He appeared at the door.
Yanyan put the comic book away, "Du Xinran, Uncle He is here to pick me up. Goodbye--"
"Goodbye--"
After returning home, Yanyan handed Lin Yan a piece of dietary taboos for dancers written by the teacher. She had tried the class for the past two weeks and had decided to keep dancing. The teacher also liked it, so the teacher asked her to bring it back to her mother today.
Yanyan didn't know most of the words and was too lazy to look up the dictionary. After returning home, she handed it directly to her mother.
Lin Yan took a look and found that it was forbidden to eat sweets, snacks, barbecue, raw and cold vegetables, juice and soda, milk chocolate. Well, the teacher also said that white chocolate could not be eaten, but dark chocolate could be eaten a little.
She read it to Yanyan, and then said, "Who would feed their children raw and cold vegetables?" Our vegetables are cooked before eating.
Yanyan said, "Vegetable salad is raw."
But, this can't be eaten, and that can't be eaten? She likes to eat lamb skewers, snacks, and drink Arctic Ocean soda.
Yanyan's face suddenly showed a tangled expression.
Lin Yan said, "Think it over for yourself whether you want to continue learning dancing. If you want to learn, you must strictly abide by these."
Seeing her daughter struggling, Lin Yan asked again, "It seems that you want to continue learning. Why do you want to learn?"
A little girl of four or five years old has already fallen in love with dancing. Is that impossible?
Yan Yan said, "Dad said that learning dancing can make you have an upright posture and outstanding temperament like the dance teacher."
She couldn't describe the dance teacher at the Children's Palace. But if she could grow up like that, she thought it would be great, great.
After hearing this, Lin Yan turned her head and glanced at Fang Mingche who was holding his little son.
Fang Mingche looked at his daughter, you are cheating me again!
That dance teacher is indeed outstanding. Everyone loves beauty. Seeing people coming, he stretched his neck in unison with the male parents next to him.
Lin Yan said, "Mingche, why don't you just stop bothering Master Duohe in the future. If you don't have classes in the afternoon and can go by yourself, just go by yourself."
Yanyan said, "Dad has two dance classes in the afternoon."
Lin Yan nodded meaningfully, "Oh, is that so." Otherwise, I'm afraid she would have driven there by herself.
Fang Mingche said nothing. Explanation is just covering up, which will only make things worse. Besides, what can he say in front of his daughter?
He said: "Yanyan, if you want to be respected in front of others, you have to suffer behind others. After two trial classes, you have to pay the formal tuition if you want to continue learning. Of course, tuition is secondary, but once you make a decision, don't give up halfway. Think about it, can you bear not to eat those things?"
Yanyan said with a sad face: "I may not be able to help it." But she really looks like she will grow up to be a dance teacher.
Lin Yan said: "If you decide to learn, mom can help you quit those foods."
"Let me think about it."
"What are you thinking about?" Lin Yi, pushing a bicycle, appeared at the door of the small side yard.
He came to deliver the fish. Lin's father didn't have to go to work in the afternoon. He went out fishing with friends and got a good harvest. So he sent him to deliver some.
After figuring out what his niece was struggling with, Lin Yi, who sat down and ate an apple, said, "Yan Yan, why do you want to learn dancing? I heard it's very hard."
Yan Yan said, "I want to be pleasing to the eye."
This idiom was also said by my father.
Lin Yan also thought so, so she looked at Fang Mingche again.
Lin Yi said, "You work so hard, but you can't see it if you don't look in the mirror. Can people look in the mirror all the time? If you ask your uncle, it's not worth it to work hard and make others pleasing to the eye!"
Fang Mingche looked at his brother-in-law, you always look at the problem from a different angle.
He looked at his daughter, is she going to learn to be so lazy like your uncle? In fact, it's not impossible. He will definitely be able to earn a huge family business for his children. As long as they don't start a business recklessly in the future, they should not fall back into poverty.
However, did the 40 years of prosperity starting from the 1980s just go by like this?
Yan Yan was obviously confused by her uncle's twisted logic. She was full of confusion, is that so?
Lin Yan raised her hand and hit Lin Yi on the back, "Don't teach me nonsense! Yanyan, do you like dancing? Dancing can indeed make you slim and graceful. But it is also hard work. Just not being able to eat so much is hard work."
Yanyan stretched out her fingers and said, "What will happen if you eat a little bit?"
Fang Mingche said, "Then you have to dance more, or do more exercise to burn off the calories."
Yanyan breathed a sigh of relief. That's it! She thought she couldn't continue dancing.
"Well, I'll dance."
