Chapter 73: Burglary
When he came back that night, Zhu Dahai sorted out all the things by categories.
Fang Mingche registered them one by one, and then set the price according to the market price and quantity. He also wrote the price list on the turned-over paper shell with a brush.
It's not just a single pair of sandals, it's estimated that it will be busy at that time.
After he was done, Uncle Gu strolled over slowly and bought some daily necessities he needed.
Didn't Fang Mingche make the bed in his empty room before? He used new mattresses and quilts. He bought them directly.
They were just made and never used. He never collected rent.
In the past month or so, it was inconvenient to go home in the evening unless it rained. Lin Yan never stayed overnight.
Fang Mingche sold the mattress and quilt directly to Uncle Gu at the original price. The things that Uncle Gu wanted to buy were also calculated according to the wholesale price he had just set.
"Close the doors and windows when you go to bed."
"Don't worry!"
Everyone went to bed that night. Around two o'clock in the morning, when it was best to sleep, two people climbed over the wall into the small side yard, and one person was left outside to keep watch.
The people who climbed in tiptoed straight to the wing room where Fang Mingche lived, each holding a sack in their hands.
They listened first, but there was no movement in the bedroom. Then they went to pry the window of the small room next door that was used as a warehouse.
Fang Mingche had locked the window from the inside. By removing the window latch, it could be opened directly from the outside.
Then, the two people climbed in one after the other.
Before they could stand firmly on the ground, the light came on with a "snap".
Their eyes were dazed, and before they could adapt to the light, they were hit by a stick that hit them on the head.
The light was naturally turned on by Fang Mingche. He saw that the lower half of the faces of the two people who came in were covered by hats, and they were holding sacks in their hands. How could they be polite?
There was a fourth person in the room: Zhu Dahai!
He also knew that the two people were burglars at night just by looking at their clothes.
In the afternoon, he and Comrade Fang carried two loads of goods on a tricycle. Although they were careful to cover it with paper, it was obvious that it still caught other people's eyes.
After dinner, Comrade Fang asked Comrade Lin to take Yanyan back. He also asked him to come and sleep with him in this small warehouse, saying that it was just in case.
A thief really came to the door!
The two took the initiative and their men kept moving. The two thieves could only hold their heads to parry.
After beating the two thieves to the ground, Zhu Dahai wanted to take off the hat of one of them to see who it was.
Fang Mingche said, "Don't take it off--"
Zhu Dahai was stunned, and the two took the opportunity to push him away and ran out. One of them was in a panic and almost hit Song Quan who came over after hearing the noise.
Seeing that the man ran away, Song Quan turned around to chase him.
Fang Mingche came out with a stick, "Forget it, don't chase the desperate enemy!"
Teacher Gao and others who came a step later saw the two men climbing up the wall and flipping out with not very agile skills. They were beaten so badly that their hands and feet were not nimble.
Teacher Gao said, "How rampant!"
Many young people can't find jobs now, and public security is really a problem.
Song Quan asked Fang Mingche, "Do you want to report it to the police?"
Fang Mingche shook his head, "Who knows who in the neighborhood might have done it? It's all because of not having a job. Having a criminal record will ruin your life, so forget it. But if you dare to come again, I won't show mercy."
How could he, an illegal resident, report the crime? That would be like walking into a knife’s mouth.
Zhu Dahai said, “If Comrade Fang hadn’t warned us in advance, they would have gone after the more vulnerable areas. I really wanted to give them a couple of hard blows. Not only did they commit petty thefts, but they even dared to climb over the wall to steal!”
During this period, small things were stolen from the east and west houses. They were not worth reporting.
Now they climbed over the wall to steal, and even brought sacks. They are planning to make a fortune.
Aunt Yuan also came over and asked Fang Mingche if he had no property loss and did not plan to report the crime, so she didn’t say anything.
She also judged that they were people from the neighborhood, and they were those unemployed vagrants. The last time Xiao Fang sold rubber sandals, the news must have spread afterwards. Everyone knows that his family has acquaintances in the supply and marketing cooperative.
Today, he brought back four trucks of goods, so he was targeted.
She said, “Everyone should be more alert recently. Okay, go back to sleep.”
She didn’t plan to report this matter, but she would communicate with the aunties who manage the several large courtyards nearby.
This is the first time, but if it happens again, we will have to report it to our superiors.
The next day, Fang Mingche and Zhu Dahai took the things they wanted to sell over there. There were two tricycles with two stalls. One stall sold defective products, all marked with prices.
The other stall still sold big bowls of tea.
Uncle Gu still sat in the courtyard during the day listening to the radio, and helped Fang Mingche look after the goods in the small room.
This batch of goods was sold out in half a month. In the era of extreme material scarcity, daily necessities did not require tickets, and the stalls were still located in Tiananmen Square, which has the largest passenger flow in the world. This is a cheat in itself, and everything will sell very well.
A total of 4,200 yuan worth of items were sold. The big bowl of tea stall sold 500 yuan these days.
Together with the 900 yuan previously deposited in the bank, the couple suddenly had 5,600 yuan in cash. Of course, there is still 1,500 yuan to give to the supply and marketing cooperative. No hurry, wait until the one-month deadline is up before sending it there.
The money is now in the bank, and I have to go there every day at 4 pm. I'm really afraid of losing it if I keep it with me. After all, someone had broken into the house before.
After that, Zhu Dahai came over every night and slept on the floor with Fang Mingche in the small warehouse. Yanyan followed her mother to live with her grandma and grandpa. Fortunately, nothing happened after that time.
"Send two hundred and four to uncle tomorrow."
Lin Yan nodded repeatedly, so that her uncle would continue to actively and proactively provide information.
She calculated for a while and said in surprise: "Mingche, we will have 4,000 yuan soon! Well, in another four days, it will be a full 4,000 yuan by the 20th."
This was the total income of her and Mingche in the past five years without eating or drinking! It only took two months to earn this much from setting up a stall!
Fang Mingche said: "Ayan, we will start moving in two days. If we move far away, our business will definitely be affected. Otherwise, you can concentrate on reviewing at home? Then you don't have to take Yanyan to the square. In a few days, it will start to get hot."
It's already mid-April, and the sun will be a bit hot in a few days. By then, the big bowl of tea will have to be poured out to dry and dissipate heat. Unlike when it first opened, they gave tourists drinks to warm themselves up.
Lin Yan said, "It should still be busy. Besides, if we all pass the exam, we won't be able to set up this stall. I want to make more money in these few months."
Fang Mingche said, "The college entrance examination is still two and a half months away. Judging from the results of the baseline test, I should be able to go to a junior college at least. You can only go to a technical secondary school at least. So, you should make another sprint in the last two months." As
long as he can get into a junior college, he can come to BJ to study. The household registration can also be smoothly transferred here.
But starting next year, the threshold for college entrance examination registration will be raised. You must have graduated from high school or have equivalent academic qualifications to apply for the exam.
It has been three years since the college entrance examination was resumed.
Because those who had no way to advance in the past ten years due to the cancellation of the college entrance examination should have applied for the exam.
Next, the college entrance examination will return to normal.
