Chapter 7 Let's make it clear
The next day, Fang Mingche hung two sandbags, one large and one small, on the tree at the door, and the father and daughter practiced boxing and kicking together.
In the middle of winter, moving like this will keep you warm.
Yanyan must have been joking, following along and making random gestures.
But Fang Mingche practiced very seriously, and also practiced the military boxing and grappling fighting skills that he learned from the Internet in his later years. He practiced until he
was sweating profusely every day.
He practiced so hard that the leaders, colleagues, and students in the school did not dare to provoke him easily.
They were afraid that he would be dumped by his educated youth wife and become abnormal.
Yanyan cried every time she thought of her mother in the first few days. Later, she realized that crying was useless, so she had to gradually accept the reality. She
just seriously implemented the practice of getting up early every day and tearing off a calendar.
If someone told her that her mother had divorced and left, she would respond, "Mom went to see grandma and grandpa. When I wear a flowery skirt, Dad will take me to find mom."
So everyone knew that Fang Mingche was still thinking about going to BJ to find Lin Yan.
While feeling that there was little hope, she couldn't help but sigh at his infatuation.
Fang Mingche thought that Lin Yan should have returned home and settled down.
However, without a phone, he could not notify him in time. Writing letters is too inefficient.
Just as he was thinking about it, he heard the postman shouting, "Fang Mingche, there is a telegram——"
He hurried back to the house to get his stamp and took the telegram.
It was indeed from Lin Yan. There were two simple words on it: "Arrived", followed by a phone number.
This must be a public phone near her home.
She couldn't call because Fang Mingche could only go to the post office to make a call. There was only one post office for several communes, and you had to queue up to make a call.
It was impossible to ask someone to call someone.
Fang Mingche said to his daughter who was playing hard under the tree, "Yanyan, let's go call mom."
Yanyan was still a little unhappy that her mother went alone and left her behind. Hearing this, she turned her head away.
"Then Dad will go by himself, and you go to play with Sister Liu?"
That was definitely not going to happen. So the father and daughter went to the street together and went to the post office to make a call.
Fang Mingche called, "Hello, please help me call Lin Yan who just came back from the countryside in Compound No. 12 Xingfuli."
The other end said, "Who are you?"
"I'm her ex-husband, and my daughter wants to talk to her."
"Okay, wait."
Lin Yan ran over breathlessly after two minutes, "Mingche--"
"Well, was the journey smooth? Have you settled in?"
"It was pretty smooth, and everything is settled in. I'll live in the room, and Xiaoyi will put two boxes together at night and make a bed in the restaurant. We'll put them away during the day. There's no sign of work yet, so let's celebrate the New Year first and talk about it after the New Year."
Fang Mingche had been holding Yanyan in one hand, and she also leaned in to listen. After coaxing her again and again, she finally shouted "Mom--" into the microphone.
Lin Yan was about to cry on the other end, "Yanyan, Mom misses you--"
After hanging up the phone, she paid the ten cents for answering the phone.
"Xiao Lin, your ex-husband must be reluctant to part with you, calling you so soon."
Lin Yan said, "What ex-husband? We will remarry when he comes to BJ. He just wants me to come back first."
The shop owner put a dime into the cash box. You make it sound so easy to come to BJ?
If it's so easy, how come you can only come back after eight or nine years of going to the countryside?
Nowadays, without a letter of introduction, rural peasants are not allowed to come to BJ.
Next, the final exams of schools across the country will be held one after another.
This year, the Chinese New Year is on January 27th, and the final exams of the village primary school are over on January 13th.
That afternoon, Fang Mingche put his daughter on the bike bar, tied the luggage to the rear rack, and rode back to his parents' home.
His room at home is still reserved. He is a son, not a daughter who was sent out.
In the future, he should have half of this family.
Of course, his parents said that he had a formal job and a stable job in the previous life. Everything was left to the eldest brother.
After returning, the eldest sister-in-law couldn't help asking: "Second brother, how much does it cost for you and Mingfeng to drive a car?"
Outsiders don't know this, but the family members know it.
"Five yuan a day, eight days of driving for a round trip. There's a day off in Guangzhou, but no money to go in, only food and lodging are provided."
"That's great, you can earn 40 yuan a trip. Can you take your elder brother to learn how to drive next time?"
Fang Mingche said, "As long as your elder brother can borrow a car, I can teach him how to drive."
"Where can your elder brother borrow a car?"
"That's no choice, I don't have the face to borrow a car from others. I learned how to drive by chance in BJ."
In his previous life, he bought a car and learned how to drive when he was in his forties.
At that time, the price of cars didn't change much, and wages went up. It was still no problem for him to buy a car worth tens of thousands of yuan.
The elder sister-in-law looked unhappy. Why couldn't such an opportunity to make a lot of money fall on her man?
She couldn't help but say, "Why do all the good things belong to you?"
Fang Mingche saw that his elder brother was in the room, not far away. Even his parents were where they could hear them talking.
So he said, "Sister-in-law, are you going to say that I owe my elder brother again? Let me ask you, what do I owe my elder brother? We all got into school together, but dad only paid for my studies? Our dad is a very fair person. If my elder brother also got into school, he would have sold everything he had to pay for his studies. As for saying that my elder brother worked in the fields to pay for my studies, that's even more ridiculous. He is only two years older than me! What you two have earned from working in the fields in the past few years may not be enough for your family of five to eat and drink. What's more, my eldest nephew is still studying, and my youngest nephew will go to school in two or three years. Ayan and I give the family ten yuan a month, three yuan each to my parents. The other four yuan has always been used to subsidize your family."
It must be made clear who owes whom!
Don't brainwash yourself every day, and accept your parents' robbing the rich to help the poor with a clear conscience, and think that it is their due for him and Ayan to subsidize their eldest son more.
Once the salary increases, he should subsidize more.
He only owes his parents, and he has not fallen behind in his obligations.
In their previous life, when they were owed wages and had to scrape together money for Yanyan's tuition, the brother and sister-in-law refused to give them anything in return. They even made sarcastic remarks on the side, saying that they didn't know how to live. What was the point of a little girl studying so much?
When Fang Mingche exposed that he was taking advantage of the family and his brothers, his eldest brother Fang Minghua's face flushed red and he was speechless.
Fang's mother said angrily: "Mingche, why are you saying all this? I know you have made a great contribution to the family, okay? But brothers should help each other. Your eldest brother's life is not as easy as yours, so you should help him a little. It will be fine when your nephew grows up."
After saying that, she felt something was wrong and said nervously: "Are you going to say that Lin Yan divorced and left, so you won't give the four yuan in the future?"
Four yuan can be very useful, it is enough for a kid's tuition for one semester.
In the past few years, the old man and the eldest son have been doing farm work and can only make a living.
The money saved in the family comes from the ten yuan given by the second son and his wife every month.
So this is what she is going to say after all this preparation?
