Chapter 29: Rich and Generous
The next morning, Fang Mingche checked out of the guesthouse. The luggage was temporarily placed in Lin Yan's room.
The next step was to find Uncle Wei's son to borrow his tricycle.
"Wei You, lend me your tricycle." Wei You
is one year younger than Lin Yan, and grew up playing with her when they were young. The two have a good relationship, not worse than with Lin Yi.
He is also preparing for the college entrance examination for the third time. Otherwise, it would be difficult to find a stable job at this age.
He knew that Lin Yan's ex-husband had brought their daughter to BJ to find her.
Uncle Lin also said that if the other party couldn't find a place to live, he wanted to arrange for him to put a small bed in his room and review together.
Now that he heard that they had found a house for rent, there was no need for that.
He nodded to the two of them, and touched Yan Yan's head, "Okay, I'll push it out for you."
Fang Mingche can ride a tricycle, and he thinks the Wei family's tricycle is quite easy to ride.
On the way, he said to Lin Yan: "Ayan, why don't you ask the Wei family if they are willing to rent the tricycle to us in the early stage? Two cents a day."
If the Wei family agrees, it means that his father-in-law will not be too opposed. There will be less resistance between him and Ayan.
Moreover, when starting a business, the capital invested should be as small as possible.
It is not too late to buy big things when the business is stable.
Lin Yan shook her head and said: "No, if my father knew that we set up a tea stall, he would definitely be furious. Uncle Wei will not rent it to us."
Her father was willing to retire early and make room for her.
But he certainly didn't want to see her set up a tea stall.
The old man's generation thought that being ordered around was a shameful thing.
Nowadays, the waiters in state-owned restaurants have a high status. The wall is posted with "No beating or scolding of customers without reason."
That is completely different from setting up a stall by yourself! If
you set up a stall by yourself, dare to beat or scold customers? It's too late to apologize.
But when she saw the educated youth returning to the city pulling a cart to deliver honeycomb coal, she felt that they made a living by working hard, and there was nothing wrong with that.
Similarly, setting up a tea stall was also self-reliant.
She had been in the countryside for eight or nine years and had become very pragmatic.
Fang Mingche nodded, and he completely understood his father-in-law's attitude.
Nowadays, ordinary people don't think much of the service industry (not counting state-owned enterprises, which have a system).
When they arrived at the Postal Bank, Fang Mingche asked Lin Yan to withdraw 1,000 yuan directly .
Lin Yan was shocked, "So much? Old furniture is much cheaper than new ones, and pots and pans, bedding covers and quilts are also okay. It's just that rice, flour, oil, eggs, etc. can only be bought at high prices on the black market."
Lin Yan had already calculated how much she needed to buy to live in bed last night.
She estimated that more than 200 yuan would be enough to meet the basic needs of her family.
She was terrified to spend money like this. Even the rent cost 400 yuan!
But she had nothing, but she had to spend so much.
Otherwise, how could she say that BJ Ju is not easy to live in! Fang
Mingche took out a list: cargo tricycles, three small red clay stoves, three iron teapots, six rough bowls, and three hundred honeycomb coals.
"Very good, we each figured out one thing. Put it together and we'll be done."
Lin Yan said, "Old furniture can be bought directly with money, so let's go buy this first in the morning. Pots, pans, and blankets are more troublesome, and we need to exchange enough bills. It will be much more expensive to buy them on the black market! I only exchanged bills for the blankets for you before. You also need bills to buy cargo tricycles and honeycomb coals. Buy what you need today, and then I'll find someone to exchange bills for the same." It
's not easy to think about pots, pans, and blankets before renting a house.
Bedding covers are also needed to rent a bed, so she thought of a way to exchange them first.
Now she is in charge of all the money and bills for the two of them, and she knows what to exchange.
Some things may only be bought on the black market.
When she came back, it was just before the Chinese New Year. Her mother had taken her to the black market.
But the things on the black market are really expensive, generally 30%-50% more expensive. Some are even double the price!
Fang Mingche said: "Then those who have tickets can buy with tickets, and those who don't have tickets can buy on the black market. To exchange tickets, we have to wait until others have idle tickets and we have the tickets they need. The sooner we move in, the better the business will be. We should be able to cook at home tomorrow and open the day after tomorrow. Everything that can be solved with money on the black market should be solved on the black market." "
This..."
"Time waits for no one! Even if you delay for ten days or half a month, you may not be able to exchange all the tickets you need. And even if you have tickets, you still have to queue up to buy. Not to mention the time wasted in queuing, the key is that the supply and marketing cooperatives and department stores must have goods. Even if you queue up, you may not be able to buy anything. Take the money and leave--"
Fang Mingche didn't want to live a shabby life, and he didn't want to delay the opening day.
Although he was not afraid of competition, they would have a first-mover advantage if they opened the tea stalls first before the collective tea stalls were set up.
Lin Yan whispered, "What if I lose the money if I withdraw so much?"
Fang Mingche patted his military coat, "The inner pockets here are specially sewn. There are so many and they can be used to make friends."
Sure enough, when he put the 100 big unity notes in several inner pockets in a secluded corner of the bank, it was not noticeable.
Lin Yan couldn't help but stretch out her hand and press it, and then she pressed out the hard one.
Fang Mingche said, "Don't touch it! I can't go through the remarriage procedures in these months.
In the past, he rented a house in the name of Lin Yan and signed a rental contract.
He told the landlord that his daughter's mother was a native of BJ, so the landlord felt relieved to rent it to him. When signing the contract, he also looked at Yan's household registration book.
The rent is from the end of February to the end of August, just half a year!
"Yan Yan, this is where we will live in the future. Do you like it?"
Yan Yan grinned, "It's bigger than grandma's house. "
She likes living in a big house.
Lin Yan said, "Let her move in with you?"
Fang Mingche nodded, "She can cook for herself in the future. After all, the child is with me."
At dinner yesterday, the mother-in-law said that she would retire this month and would take care of her granddaughter at home.
The mother-in-law was obviously trying to make room for her brother-in-law, and it could be seen that she was actually a little reluctant.
It was just that her brother-in-law made a lot of trouble and she had no other choice. She could only brainwash herself repeatedly that she was sacrificing for her family and that a harmonious family would bring prosperity.
Don't think about the loss of your pension in the future and put the blame on Yanyan.
Before she officially went through the retirement procedures, he took Yanyan out.
Lin Yan thought about it and said, "That's fine. I'll buy pots and pans soon anyway. I'll only go back to my parents' house to sleep in the future. "
She couldn't help looking at Fang Mingche as she spoke, and Fang Mingche happened to look at her.
When their eyes met, they were actually a little excited.
Unfortunately, now it's always wrong and unreasonable. Ah Yan really can't live here.
Nowadays, it's not as open as in later generations, and cohabitation before marriage is very normal.
Fang Mingche said: "Get up early tomorrow. Go to the East Market to buy a horse, the West Market to buy a saddle, the South Market to buy a bridle, and the North Market to buy a long whip--"
The black market opens before dawn, so we have to go early.
