Chapter 66 Rumors
Lin Yan rode all the way home, still feeling a little upset.
Two thousand yuan is not a small amount, but they only earned that much in more than a month. It is not worth giving up such a great opportunity.
The key is that if Mingche is commended in the newspaper, it would be great if he could send it back to his father to see!
However, they really cannot ruin their relationship with Wang Dexian because of this. As long as someone reports Mingche as an illegal resident, he will be sent back to the countryside.
When she got home, the first thing she did was to take out a wine glass, open the bottle and pour out half a glass of Moutai.
Father Lin's nose twitched, "Good wine!"
Mother Lin was wondering what her daughter had brought back wrapped in Yanyan's quilt. When she heard it was wine, she lost interest.
Lin Yan brought out the wine, "Dad, Mingche bought it for you. Try it—"
"Moutai?" Father Lin was very happy to see the packaging.
He smelled something like it, and it turned out to be true.
"Yes, I only bought one bottle last time. Because I need to ask my uncle for help, I gave it to him first. Mingche asked someone in the black market to help find it. Let me bring it back to you as soon as you buy it."
Lin's mother reacted, "Oh, you are a spendthrift girl. If you don't open it, you can just take it as a betrothal gift."
Lin Yan said to Lin Yi who came in, "This is what Mingche bought for his father-in-law. Whose father-in-law is he? Who is filial."
The Lin family had already eaten dinner. Lin Yi was chatting with neighbors outside. He also saw his sister bringing something back, so he hurried in to see what it was.
Lin's mother said, "No, if we use this as a betrothal gift, won't mom and dad save money?"
Lin Yi also saw Maotai. He didn't have time to pay attention to what his sister and mother were arguing about, and went straight into the kitchen to get another cup.
"Dad, let me pour some."
Lin Yan said, "Mom, you see, right? He doesn't worry at all. Anyway, you will collect all the gifts and bonuses for him. He is already twenty-one or twenty-two years old, and he can't bear any burden on his shoulders. Parents who love their children will plan for them in the long run!"
She said that although her father-in-law felt that it was a bit excessive for Mingche to be obligated to support the whole family since he was raised out of the farm, her father-in-law definitely thought about Mingche. In his cognitive field, he has done the best.
But her parents are so accommodating to Lin Yi, which is ruining him.
Lin Yi simply ignored what she said. Seeing that his father was unwilling to give him the bottle of Moutai, he stretched out his hand to grab it.
Father Lin slapped his hand away.
"This is what your brother-in-law gave to me, his father-in-law. Why do you drink it? I really haven't received any respect from you. As for the betrothal gift, you can figure it out later. Your mother gave you her job. And this wine, my son-in-law bought it for me, don't I deserve to drink it? I have to save it to give to others!"
He looked at Lin's mother and said, "Ayan is right. We can't spoil Lin Yi like this. Bring me the family passbook. I can't let you manage it anymore."
When he didn't know, the money might have been emptied by Lin Yi.
The Fang family raised a son, and he also raised a son. There is no comparison between them!
In the next few days, Fang Mingche taught Wang Dexian all the English he knew seriously and patiently.
Since the matter was already determined, he also received the deposit. He couldn't have a dispute with Wang Dexian over teaching issues.
The interview was also completed during this period and would be published soon.
After the report was published, Wang Dexian would go back to recognize his grandfather, and he should be able to enter the house smoothly and be valued by the old man.
"Old Wang, I'll give you all the water at the bottom of the pot. However, I think English will become more and more important as the universal language in the world. If you have the chance, you'd better keep learning it."
Wang Dexian nodded. Fang Mingche's serious teaching attitude made him very satisfied. Moreover, he listened to him communicating with foreigners and he really did not go beyond the scope of what he taught.
This kid is really smart. With his limited English, he really helped the cooperative open a door. He was so confident to communicate with foreigners.
"I have the same opinion as you. You see, I also bought an English dictionary."
Fang Mingche shook his head, "An English dictionary alone is not enough. The examples above are very simple."
He relied on these examples to figure out whether the words were nouns, verbs or adjectives. Then he replaced the words he wanted to use with the same part of speech and made sentences.
He also taught this trick to Wang Dexian.
"You have to try to get the university's English textbooks, and it would be best if you could also get English newspapers and magazines. Then look up the dictionary word by word to make it clear."
Wang Dexian nodded, "Okay, if I can get it, I'll get you a copy."
"Thanks. By the way, can you help me get the information about the restudy classes in the best schools in BJ?"
This resource should not be wasted. While he still lives in this alley. It is indeed best to turn the credit taken away this time into a usable resource.
"I'll ask someone to try."
Wang Dexian's class ended today. After he stood up, he said, "You really need to work harder on Uncle Gu. I heard a rumor that they are going to start returning the houses that were occupied by the masses in the 1950s."
"When his son comes back, won't I make a clown of myself? Let's wait and see! Besides, I'm too eager, Uncle Gu should be on guard."
With the 400 yuan deposit given by Wang Dexian, they bought a women's bicycle for Ayan and a domestic radio for themselves, so they didn't use the money in their passbook.
Of course, the 400 yuan was all spent.
By the time the newspaper was published, they had 2,100 yuan in their passbook .
Uncle Gu heard that the newspaper had published the cooperative, and he specially asked the person who took care of him to buy a copy.
As a result, he sat on the bed, wearing reading glasses and read from beginning to end, but he didn't see anything about Fang Mingche. What he did was put on Xiao Wang.
This is too shameless.
Besides, Xiao Fang doesn't look like a person who would be so submissive.
Wait for Fang Mingche to come over with the radio to return it to him. He also told the old man that he had bought a new one, so he wouldn't need to borrow it at night.
He asked, "What's the matter with the newspaper?"
The person who took care of him had gone home from work. Grandpa Gu had already eaten and gone to the bathroom. He could turn on the light and go to sleep when he lay down.
Fang Mingche told the old man the whole story.
Grandpa Gu sighed and said, "That's really the only way. The poor should not fight with the rich, and the rich should not fight with the officials."
After that, he looked at Fang Mingche and handed him a key, "Open the drawer on the left side of the desk and take out 110 yuan."
"I only paid you more than 19 yuan."
"The remaining 90 is for your refund. 30 is the deposit, and the remaining 60 is 10 yuan less rent for you every month. I saw that you were in a hurry to rent a house, so I charged you a high price. Although you make a lot of money. But now how can I still charge you a high price?"
"Oh, so, then I'll take it."
Fang Mingche took 11 big unity notes from the drawer.
Of course he knew he was ripped off at that time. But Grandpa Gu knew that he was a migrant worker and tried to cover up for him, which also cost money.
Since he was really in a hurry, he admitted it.
