Chapter 35 Tea stall set up
During the meal, Fang Mingche picked up dishes suitable for his daughter, and occasionally gave her a piece of meat.
For the sake of his daughter's teeth, the dishes and meat were cooked relatively soft.
When the meat was given, Yanyan called out sweetly "Dad——"
Lin Yan said: "This daughter is really Dad's baby!"
Fang Mingche smiled and said to his daughter: "Mom is in a bad mood!"
Yanyan called out sweetly "Mom——"
Lin Yan couldn't help laughing, "I'll pick up another piece of meat for you later, eat it quickly."
After she said that, she turned to Fang Mingche, "Mingche, I didn't expect that you would have such a big change after taking care of Yanyan for more than a month. You are much more patient in taking care of the child, and you know what she is suitable to eat."
In the past, he must have liked his daughter. But if he was asked to take care of her, he would most likely be lazy and perfunctory. It seems that being apart for a period of time can promote people's growth.
Fang Mingche smiled, "It's trained."
He was the one who took care of his grandson after retirement in his previous life!
Thinking of this, he remembered that Yan only lived to be 40 years old in his previous life and never saw his grandson.
Such a tragedy will never happen again in this life. They will mainly live in BJ in the future.
In the afternoon, Fang Mingche arranged an activity for Yanyan: pick up marbles with mini chopsticks.
Yesterday I bought her a box of marble checkers, which had various colors.
First, pick up the marbles one by one in the corresponding position of the color, and then pick them up in the slot.
The little girl has just arrived and has not made friends yet.
And it is not clear what the temperaments of the children in the nearby slum are, so let's wait and see.
The marbles are colorful, and she likes playing with them.
As for him and Ayan, they will continue to read and review.
At the Lin family, when Lin's father and mother came back from work, Lin Yi had already prepared the meal.
His sister was not at home, so he could not avoid being lazy. If his parents got off work and the family had not prepared the meal yet, he would be scolded. And he also wanted to eat.
Seeing that the door of the small room was still locked, Lin's father took out the key and said, "Go and call your sister to come out for dinner."
Lin Yi scratched his head, "Dad, not long after you left, my sister ran away while I was in the public toilet."
"What? How could she get out?" Lin's father was very shocked.
"Dad, I couldn't believe it at first. But she has been in the countryside for eight or nine years. If she had been as weak as before, she would not have survived, right?"
Seeing that Lin's father still wanted to find his daughter, Lin Yi said again, "Dad, if it rains, the mother (girl) will get married, and this cannot be stopped!"
Lin's mother, who was a little tired after working half a day, also said, "She ran away for a long time. Besides, that's her child and the child's father."
"The man wants to take her to set up a tea stall!"
"She wants to do it herself, what can we do? We introduced a cadre to her before, but she refused to do it with such good conditions." If she
followed that cadre, her and her brother's jobs would be solved. She wouldn't have to retire early.
But what can we do if she just doesn't want to do it? If a cow doesn't want to drink water, why force it to drink?
And now that people know that her ex-husband from the countryside has come with the children, she won't do it anymore.
A daughter who is married off is like water that has been spilled.
Let her do whatever she wants!
"Let's eat. We have to go to work in the afternoon."
Lin Yan came back at night when it was dark.
The door of the room was already open.
"Dad, Mom, I'm back--"
Lin's father was smoking, "Did you go over there to buy groceries, cook, wash clothes, and clean for them?"
"No, Mingche did the meals. There was no other work today. We reviewed together for a day. Dad, please lend me your bicycle tomorrow. It's so troublesome to walk and reverse. It's only two cents for a round trip! If you add a little more, you can eat half a pound of meat."
Mingche said he would buy her a women's bicycle, a Phoenix with 26 laps. It's too expensive and not worth it!
Ride her father's 28-bar bicycle first.
Lin's father was silent for a while and took out the bicycle key.
His daughter looked so determined that he couldn't stop her. He
couldn't just take a leave from work and stay at home to watch over her.
Let her experience the pain of being ordered around, and she would know what was good and bad.
Poor couples have many sorrows!
The Fangs spent their little money just like that, and they couldn't afford it.
The next day after breakfast, Fang Mingche pushed the tricycle into the courtyard.
Then he used a covered iron bucket to go to the water well in the middle of the yard, pumped two buckets of water and put them on the car.
Three kettles were also filled with water. Then three small red clay stoves were moved up.
Thirty-two clean bowls were placed upside down. Clean towels were placed around to reduce shock, and the towels could be covered on top to block dust later.
Two small folding square tables and eight small stools were stacked upside down.
Fifteen honeycomb coals. One of them was burning and was placed directly in the small stove. It was equivalent to boiling water.
Now cover the lids at the top and bottom so that it can burn more slowly.
He arranged it carefully to make sure the weight was balanced and placed properly. Then he tied the things with the long rope he had prepared.
It was done!
Finally, he carried his daughter to the small bench that was vacated. There was a cushion on it so that her little butt would not be frozen.
He also put on her hat and scarf.
"Let's go--"
Fang Mingche rode his tricycle to Tiananmen Square, two kilometers away. A Yan would go directly to the square to meet them.
Someone from the nearby slum came over from the Half Moon Gate, "Uncle Gu, where is your nephew going?"
"Oh, to set up a tea stall in Tiananmen Square."
"Isn't he here to take care of you in your old age and inherit your house in the future?"
"That doesn't prevent him from being self-reliant now."
Uncle Gu really used Fang Mingche as a shield to prevent these people from targeting him, an old widower.
They thought this place was unlucky and rarely went here.
That's why he saved the two rooms where his son and daughter-in-law had lived.
Now that he rented them out, he would have extra income.
And the young man looked nice, not talkative, and hardworking.
The two had agreed in advance.
But in fact, Grandpa Gu heard that his son was not dead. He must have taken good care of himself and was waiting for his son.
He asked Fang Mingche to help him write a letter to his son last night.
His own hands were shaking a little, and the young man's handwriting looked very beautiful.
Now it depends on whether anyone will reply.
This is also to tell Fang Mingche that he actually has a son.
After Grandpa Gu said this, he put on his Lei Feng hat and went out, heading towards the post office.
Fang Mingche drove his daughter over and stopped the car in the corner of the square.
First, he settled his daughter to sit aside and continued to play marbles on the table.
Then he moved the stove down, and the first pot of boiling water was already hot.
The bowls were placed on the horizontal board on the tricycle compartment, and a wool towel was placed underneath.
Then the red cloth sign was hung up with a bamboo pole.
On it, A Yan embroidered a big, black word "Tea", and then a black "TEA" of the same size.
