Chapter 99 Parents for their children
The next day, they resumed the previous pace of setting up stalls. But Lin Yan still didn't go. She stayed at home to watch Yan Yan. It was the dog days of summer. It was too hot to let the child go to the stalls with her! What if she got a heat stroke?
When Fang Mingche set off on his tricycle, she said to Yan Yan, "While it's not hot, let's go buy some daily necessities."
"What?"
"Rice, flour, oil and other things. This way I can cook for myself at home. I also need to buy some mung beans to make mung bean soup. It's so hot, and Dad is very tired."
Now there is no review, and she is at home. Of course, she won't go to a restaurant! That's still quite expensive.
But the first thing is to deposit 400 yuan into the bank. 2400, that's great! Besides, they have their own home in the capital.
The second thing is to transfer Yan Yan's household registration and grain and oil relationship to the new household registration book, so that she can follow her mother. In this way, both mother and daughter can eat commercial grain.
This is not the migration of children of educated youth, there is no such policy. But my mother is from the capital and has her own house, so it's okay.
This time when we went to the countryside, we also got a certificate of the mother-daughter relationship. We got the birth certificate from the district hospital and the household registration certificate from the local police station.
Two of the three people in the family eat commercial grain, so the gap that needs to be made up on the black market is not big. And next month, Mingche's grain and oil relationship will be transferred to the school, and then he will be directly issued with grain coupons to eat in the cafeteria.
When she was getting ready to go out, Lin Yan went to the place where she usually parked her bicycle, and it was empty.
She slapped her forehead. Yesterday, she took a lot of luggage, and one of the bicycles was a women's one, which was inconvenient. They came back by car.
Well, then we have to go back to my mother's house to get the bicycle. This way it will be convenient to go everywhere. I have to deliver lunch to Mingche at noon!
She took Yanyan back to her mother's house first.
Lin's mother was reluctant to part with the bike. It was here some time ago, and it was very convenient for her to ride in and out.
Alas, she has been working all her life, but she has never bought herself a women's bicycle.
Lin Yan listened to her sigh, "Then buy it. You can buy it with your pension in half a year."
"It's easy to say, but you can't live like this?" Lin's mother said unhappily.
"My dad and Lin Yi both have salaries. Don't put all your pension into it. Keep half of it for yourself every month. You can buy it in a year. You have dedicated more than 20 years to this family and Lin Yi. If you want a women's bicycle, you can save up your pension for a year to buy it. What's the problem?"
Don't be so obsessed with saving a dowry for Lin Yi!
If her mother didn't do everything for Lin Yi, but just wanted to buy a bicycle for herself. Then Lin Yan would be happy to sponsor some money. But she didn't want to spend all the money on Lin Yi or Han Mei. This is
the biggest change in her after so many years in the countryside. Because there are no close relatives brainwashing her all day long. She will no longer sacrifice herself and the interests of her small family for Lin Yi.
Lin Yi would only accept it with peace of mind and never do anything for her. He felt that whatever his parents and sister did for him was what they should do.
Lin's mother blurted out, "I can't be so selfish, can I?"
"Your retirement salary is spent on yourself. How can it be called selfish? I'll stop here, think about it yourself."
Lin Yan didn't say anything more, lest her mother would accuse her of instigating.
Anyway, it's no good to keep pampering Lin Yi like this. He's over 20 years old, and he can't bear the burden of two taels of money after taking over his mother's job.
If you want to meet your partner's requirements, then you have a job, so save up by yourself! When you save enough money, you can get married. Expect parents to prepare everything.
According to traditional concepts, the child who takes over is responsible for providing for his parents in their old age, and he will take care of birth, old age, sickness and death. But Lin Yi probably thinks that everything his parents earn is his.
He can think that his partner wants three turns and one ring, so how can he not notice that his mother, who earns a salary, also wants a women's bicycle?
Fang Mingche went to set up the stall early in the morning, and he was a little unskilled. When the water boiled, he still prepared a large bowl of tea and poured it out first, then covered it with a glass lid.
The craftsmen greeted him when they saw him today.
Fang Mingche said, "I will do the preparation work and teach you simple spoken language."
Song Quan said, "Please leave it alone. I'll ask someone to replace you. Just teach everyone."
Fang Mingche thought for a moment and said, "Okay, anyway, in forty days, this tea stall will belong to your cooperative. But let me make it clear first, I still need the tricycle and will not resell it to you. The others are fine!"
Song Quan said, "We can buy another tricycle."
He also paid attention to the tea stall business during this period. After all, Xiao Fang bought a house in the capital thanks to this stall. And it's quite close to Tiananmen Square. I didn't expect that such an inconspicuous business, two cents a bowl, could make 20 a day! This is really a case of small profits but quick turnover. It was
even more before we moved here. In comparison, how much does a tricycle cost?
Fang Mingche taught for an hour in the morning when the market was off-peak, and he must have taken care of his own business first when the market was busy.
How can I say it, people with such flexible hands, how come some of them are so... so inflexible when learning languages?
He had no choice but to say to Song Quan: "Let's find two representatives."
When he saw an old craftsman using Chinese characters to indicate pronunciation, such as Wang, Tu, and Si Rui, he was too lazy to correct them.
Anyway, he didn't learn systematically. He spoke in a weird tone, and the foreign guests might understand.
However, this is not as good as using gestures.
Song Quan was also a slow learner. He nodded, "You pick."
Fang Mingche nodded and pointed to two young and fast learners. He will mainly teach these two people in the future, and the others will be auditors.
At noon, Lin Yan came to bring him lunch, looking a little embarrassed.
"I haven't cooked for a long time, so I'm a little rusty. You can just make do with it today."
Fang Mingche nodded, "Where's Yanyan?"
Eat it, how can you still complain? Fortunately, the rice was just a little mushy, and the dishes were bland, so I added some soy sauce.
"It's too hot. I'll ask Grandpa Gu to help watch it for a while. I'll go back now. You can come back this afternoon and bring the lunch box back."
Fang Mingche nodded, "Okay!"
Lin Yan returned home and saw Yan Yan sitting in the shade, eating and chatting with Grandpa Gu.
Grandpa Gu said, "Yan Yan, do you remember what happened before you came to the capital?"
"Not really."
Yesterday, Dad showed her a photo of her cousin, as well as a photo of her father, mother, grandfather, grandmother, and uncle's family. She just looked familiar to the people above, but she didn't remember them very well.
Grandpa Gu said, "You're only three years old, it's normal that you can't remember."
Lin Yan parked her bicycle and said, "Her father said that with the current traffic conditions, he dare not take her back to her hometown during the New Year."
She checked Yan Yan's bowl of rice: the meat was finished, but there were still some vegetables and rice left. Just pick up the spoon and feed her. It's been twenty minutes back and forth, and she hasn't finished eating yet.
Grandpa Gu said: "During the Chinese New Year, it is even more crowded, like a war."
