Chapter 54 Uncle is in a Dilemma
Uncle was still shocked. That was 1,200.
Even if he had been working for many years, he would have to go without food and drink for two years. A huge sum of money!
He said, "Let me ask and I'll give you an answer later."
"Okay, thank you, uncle."
Fang Mingche also knew that his uncle probably thought he was too unreliable at this moment.
But the future development, just talking about it, really can't convince these "old generation".
Just let time give them the answer. As for the view of him, it will change with time. Besides, he doesn't really care too much.
Back to the square, the afternoon rush hour has not arrived yet. Lin Yan can handle it by herself with a teapot.
Yanyan took a nap in the padded, empty tricycle. There was a small pillow under her head and a small blanket on her body.
Fang Mingche told Lin Yan the matter in a few words.
Her first reaction was that she was afraid that it would not be sold.
She was still wearing her fur shoes! It's still a bit cold now, who would buy rubber sandals for the children?
All the family's belongings would have to be used, and Fang Mingche would definitely have to convince the head of the family.
"This is off-season purchase, so it's more affordable. Think about it, you have enough money to travel to BJ, so is it expensive to spend four or five yuan to buy a pair of sandals for your child? Put it in your luggage, and it won't take up much space. The key is that you don't need a ticket! The black market will increase the price even if you don't need a ticket. Buying off-season is a good deal! You can wear it after a few months."
Lin Yan said, "I didn't realize you were so talkative before.
" She really thought it made sense. "I was forced to do it by life. This is not the time to have a guaranteed income. How can I guarantee my income if I don't think of ways?"
Maybe because Fang Mingche has been acting very reliable recently, Lin Yan was finally convinced.
"If you decide, I have no objection."
1200 sounds scary, but it's only 40 days' income. Let's take a gamble! It's just what Mingche said, at worst, if it's still unsalable, it will just be piled up in an empty room.
When he returns to his hometown to take the college entrance examination, he will bring the tea back to sell.
Moreover, after setting up the tea stall for so many days, Lin Yan has a more intuitive understanding of the customer flow in Tiananmen Square. There are indeed so many people every day. When people are out, they are more willing to spend money than at home.
This matter has been agreed upon within their family.
But Fang Mingche said that he should not show anxiety in the future. If he shows anxiety, the other party may not be willing to lower the price. After all, there is still a difference of more than two hundred yuan.
They just need to wait now.
Two days later, it was Women's Day. Fang Mingche talked to Lao Wang, and the other party readily agreed to arrange someone to take over for Lin Yan for one day.
On the evening of the 7th, Fang Mingche said to Lin Yan, "You will have a whole day off tomorrow. Take Yanyan to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy things first. If your uncle asks, just say you will listen to me. But don't act anxious."
"Got it."
"After buying things, take them back and put them aside first. Don't rush to put them in the water or dry them. For the rest of the day, take Yanyan to the zoo. The child has only seen pigs, cats and dogs since she was a child."
Lin Yan nodded, "Got it." Speaking of it, her daughter came to the capital. But in fact, except for this square, she has not been anywhere else.
She felt sad when she thought about it.
Early in the morning of the 8th, Lin Yan arrived at the small side yard half an hour in advance and picked up her daughter to go shopping. The owner of the small restaurant helped them buy the necessary tickets on the black market.
Yanyan was very happy to know that they were going to the zoo, where there were all kinds of animals to see.
She said, "Isn't Dad going?"
Lin Yan looked at Fang Mingche and smiled, "He is a man, but Women's Day."
Fang Mingche said, "I will celebrate Father's Day later."
Lin Yan raised an eyebrow, "Is there such a festival?"
"Western festival."
After sending the mother and daughter to the bus, Fang Mingche and Lao Song rode a tricycle to set up the stall. When setting up the stall, Lao Song, Lao Wang and others teased Fang Mingche, saying that he was a henpecked husband and a wife-loving man.
While moving the stove, cooking pot, etc. downstairs, Fang Mingche responded: "I have the final say on how our family spends money. Who of you dares to say that?"
Lin Yan went to the supply and marketing cooperative and bought things as planned. Especially for the father and daughter, she was particularly willing to spend money.
She did come to the supply and marketing cooperative where her uncle worked to buy things. Someone familiar recognized her.
"Oh, isn't this the niece of Lao Xiao's family? Come here to buy sandals?"
Lin Yan shook her head, "No, buy spring clothes."
She looked a little familiar. Maybe I've seen her near my aunt and uncle's house. Nowadays, units are allocated housing, and people from a unit often live together.
"Didn't I hear that you found a rich man and want to buy all the three or four hundred pairs of sandals that are unsold in our supply and marketing cooperative?"
Lin Yan frowned. Uncle is not a big mouth. It is probably because he was seen by someone when he came to see the samples before, and the news leaked out.
It hasn't been completed yet, but it has spread like wildfire.
She finished shopping and was about to leave when her uncle came.
The leader asked him to ask, and he had to come. The leader wanted them to add more. It was a bit harsh to cut more than 200 yuan at once.
Lin Yan said: "Uncle, Mingche has the final say on our family's affairs. He said 1200, and that's 1200. For this money, we still have to scrape together."
Uncle looked at her, why did she buy it?
Before he said it, the leader already knew that his niece-in-law had bargained for 1200. Even if he thought this was inappropriate, he couldn't hide it in the middle.
"Uncle, I still have to take Yanyan to the zoo, we'll leave first."
After Lin Yan left, uncle was called to the leader's office to ask about the situation.
"Didn't you say you were going to take it back to your hometown to sell it? Aren't you in a hurry?"
"Maybe it's okay if you can't buy it." Anyway, Ah Yan's attitude was indeed like this. He was not afraid that someone would pass by and hear something and report it again.
The leader frowned. It was not easy for such a fool and a rich man to appear. If he really bought other specialties, the news would spread out, and the superior leaders would also blame him.
"What does your niece's husband do?"
said the uncle, "I don't know the details. But after my niece got together with him, she became a private teacher in the village primary school."
The leader thought: This can only be done by a family with some power in the countryside. But, who cares. Anyway, he will pay in cash, no credit, no return or exchange. Now it's good that he doesn't change his mind or make other ideas.
"I have to apply for it too, you go back first."
If you are undecided about something, apply.
After all, it's a credit, and the people above will definitely share the profits. He applied, and if there is anything wrong, someone will share the responsibility.
The uncle nodded, retreated, and closed the door of the office. If the big leader approves this, this matter will be a bit difficult to back down.
But looking at Ayan's appearance, even if her family has to make up the money, they can always get enough.
When he got home from work and told his cousin Lin Yan about it, she got anxious, "What if this is a loss? 1200!"
"I can't help but pass on the word among us. The higher-ups all know about it. Old Yuan got drunk and blurted it out. And the person who loves to pass on the word the most in the factory heard it. If Xiao Fang goes back on his word, the supply and marketing cooperative can't do anything to him."
"But they can do something to you!"
