Chapter 118 Admission Notice
Lin Yan returned home, not caring about the fatigue of riding a bicycle for 50 minutes. She rushed to find Xiao Xie.
"Xiao Xie, Xiao Xie--"
Xiao Xie came out and said with a smile: "Teacher Lin, I sold more than 80 eggs today." I
can get more than 80 cents! This is much better than earning work points in the village.
Lin Yan said: "Really? That's not bad. I brought back three more boxes. Do you want to buy more?"
"Yes, yes. I'll give you today's money first." Xiao Xie nodded like pounding garlic.
Lin Yan said: "It's okay, I'll let you buy two boxes on credit. This business is for you. We have a good relationship and I'll take care of you."
She deliberately said it in front of Gao's mother. In order to avoid Gao's mother not leaving Xiao Xie a penny and just letting her work. Gao's mother should be able to do this.
She let Xiao Xie buy two boxes on credit, so that Xiao Xie doesn't have to ask Teacher Gao for money.
There are 100 eggs in a box, and Lin Yan buys them at 8 cents each. The wholesale price to Xiao Xie is nine cents each. Xiao Xie sells it for ten cents each.
So today, Lin Yan can make four yuan just from four boxes of eggs. Well, minus the one yuan wage for Wei Saozi and Liu Qingfeng, there are still three yuan. Add a few boxes of green vegetables, if they can all be sold, she can make a net profit of more than ten yuan today.
Eggs are better, even in the dog days, if they are not exposed to the sun, they can be kept for ten days or half a month. But vegetables really have to be sold fresh.
"Okay, bring the empty boxes over later and pick up another one."
"Okay! It's time to replace your water tank. I'll replace it for you tomorrow morning and then carry the water in."
"Okay, you still have to bring the Chinese textbook over later. We have to proceed with the twenty words today as planned."
After Lin Yan left, Gao's mother's face fell.
Xiao Xie said: "Mom, the money I earn is all for this family and your grandson. I won't give indiscriminately to my mother's family."
If she can earn money by herself, she will have more dignity and say in this family.
Gao's mother wanted her to hand over all the money, but Lin Yan made it very clear. This business was for Xiao Xie, with whom she had a good relationship.
After Lin Yan went out, she went to find Hu Yong, the leader of the educated youth who returned to the city.
"I have a business and see if you want to do it. You call the three of them to my house."
Hu Yong had some guesses in his mind, but he was not sure if it was what he thought. He immediately got up and called people.
When they came over, they met Xiao Xie smilingly carrying an empty box to pick up eggs.
Hu Yong and others saw that there were three boxes of eggs and several baskets of vegetables piled up in the room of Fang's house that was used as a warehouse. It was almost 7:30 in the evening. But because it was the dog days of summer, it was still light.
Lin Yan was arranging business matters, and Fang Mingche scooped hot water for Yanyan to take a bath.
Lin Yan said to Xiao Xie, "You can just change a box. They are all packed in 100 pieces, but you still have to click. Maybe Sister Wei accidentally clicked the wrong one."
Xiao Xie nodded, "Okay! I'll give you 6 yuan first. I'll give you the remaining 12 yuan after you move it over."
She sold more than 8 yuan today, which was not enough for a box. Moreover, she had to prepare some change for change.
"Okay, do whatever you think is convenient."
Lin Yan turned to Hu Yong and the other four, "It's like this. Xiao Xie wholesaled 100 eggs from me today and sold them at the hospital gate. She sold more than 80, making a penny for each. I just want to ask you if you want to set up a vegetable stall and sell vegetables and eggs. I can provide you with a stable supply and wholesale it. But there is one thing: no credit or returns. Let's buy it and leave! If you don't do it, I'll find someone else."
Xiao Xie squatted there, counting the eggs one by one.
In fact, Hu Yong and the others also saw Xiao Xie going back and forth twice during the day, carrying a basket and going out. By that calculation, she earned more than 80 cents today. It was much better than the brothers who had to eat for free at home.
Xiao Xie counted them and it was exactly 100.
She said, "I have to take care of a patient at home, and I have to cook when Teacher Gao starts school. So I can only sell eggs. But I'll try it today, and I think I can sell more and more in the future."
Without saying anything else, she went back with a box of eggs. She would come back later with textbooks to learn to read.
She still covered the eggs with a blue cloth and took them away. When she went out, she met Aunt Cui who came to deliver meat.
Lin Yan asked her to help buy a pound of meat every day. The butcher in the black market has a steady hand, and there is basically no deviation after one cut!
The workers hired by the scrap yard do physical work every day, so there is meat for both meals. Not to mention other things, it is not easy to go back and forth for nearly two hours every day.
Today, including Aunt Wei, there are a total of six people eating, and one pound of meat is divided into two meals. It is definitely impossible to make everyone full, but each person can get nearly two taels. This is the supply for ten days.
This pound of meat is the bulk of the food expenses. Before, Lin Yan even asked Cui Saozi to buy vegetables, but later she changed to buy from the villagers who borrowed the ladder.
When Cui Saozi saw this situation, she quickly reacted. She hurriedly said, "Are you going to sell vegetables? How much?"
Lin Yan said, "If you want, I'll give you the wholesale price, the same price as them."
"I buy a lot anyway."
Cui Saozi used a box of eggs every three days, and asked for two or three kilograms of vegetables. This price was cheaper than what she bought on the black market.
"Oh, these vegetable leaves are so juicy. Take them home and spray them with water, and they will be fresher tomorrow morning."
Vegetables will wilt after a day because they are exposed to the sun during the day. So if they are just left overnight, it will be a little better.
Hu Yong and the others were still a little hesitant. There are gains and losses in doing business! Teacher Lin also specifically said that there is no credit or return. But first Xiao Xie, then Cui Saozi, it is still a bit stimulating.
Seeing Sister Cui squatting down to pick vegetables, Hu Yong quickly said, "Sister Cui, don't be so picky. Since it's wholesale, just take them one by one. They are all fresh!"
Lin Yan smiled when she heard this. It worked!
Sure enough, the four of them discussed it again and went back to prepare to collect money.
It would only cost about 30 or 40 yuan to buy all of them. I'm sure we can still make up the difference!
Lin Yan methodically calculated the prices for Cui's wife according to the wholesale prices, "I don't accept returns here."
"What do you want to return? I recommend it to customers, and there's nothing that can't be sold out."
The two of them settled the bill for the meat and vegetables.
Cui's wife said, "Oh, I really want to buy a refrigerator to keep food fresh. But it's too expensive! Why are electrical appliances so expensive nowadays?"
Fang Mingche had already taken care of his daughter and was sending her back.
After hearing what she said, she said, "Because domestic home appliances have not yet taken off. We basically have to buy imported goods now, but aren't they expensive? How high are the wages of workers in those countries, and there are also shipping costs. The wool comes from the sheep!"
Sister Cui thought for a while, "That's what you said. Then you say, can domestic products take off?"
"Of course they can. We can independently develop the two bombs and one satellite, so why can't we tackle home appliances? Can you take it? I'll send it back to you."
Sister Cui nodded, "Okay, you send it to me."
Fang Mingche sent it directly on a tricycle.
When he came back, Hu Yong and the other four had already collected the money and came to weigh the vegetables. He was a little dissatisfied that there were only two boxes of eggs.
Lin Yan said, "Sister Cui only buys one basket every three days, she won't come every day. You should sell these two baskets first. If they sell well, I will mobilize nearby villages to deliver goods."
Fang Mingche said, "Are you selling tonight or tomorrow morning?"
Hu Yong said, "Tomorrow morning. We will sell them at the intersection of the vegetable market." If
they sell tonight, those old women will bargain hard for the price because they have to keep them overnight. If they are still fresh tomorrow morning, they will sell them as fresh. If they are a little wilted, they will sell them at a discount. But there must be a difference compared to the purchase price.
If it proves feasible, they will do this first. Fight guerrilla warfare first, then talk about setting up a stall. Don't worry about anything else, the principle is to fill your stomach first.
Fang Mingche thought about it, most of the vegetable supply bases also start picking in the early morning. They are only a few hours earlier.
The four of them don't have to deliver goods. Lin Yan sent the people to the door.
Grandpa Gu looked over here for a few times, and when the people left, he said, "You two are too hardworking."
They have a small family background and are college students. He is actually more motivated than others who haven't found a job or been admitted to university.
Fang Mingche said, "We don't have any family property to inherit, so of course we have to work harder ourselves. Yanyan had been thinking about the TV before, but she couldn't bear to buy it."
He did have money on the report, but without a stable income, he really couldn't bear to spend a few hundred dollars to buy a TV.
Uncle Gu said, "Are you really not afraid that the policy will be reversed?" He was a little scared anyway.
Fang Mingche said, "I'm afraid, of course I'm not afraid? But in this world, the brave will be fed to death and the timid will starve to death. By the way, when will your son be discharged from the hospital?"
"It will take a few more days. By then, he will be able to stand up and walk slowly." Uncle Gu showed a comfortable smile on his face.
After a while, Xiao Xie came over again.
She told Lin Yan, "Didn't you ask me to go back and see what Zhu Dahai is doing tonight? I heard from Teacher Gao that he rented a car. It's the tricycle you rented before."
Lin Yan nodded, "He should also want to do this business. This costs less, and he can afford it."
Renting that car should still cost five yuan a month. Buying eggs and vegetables will cost another thirty or forty yuan. If they are all sold, they can make twelve or thirteen yuan a day.
However, if there is no one to help, it will be a bit tiring to buy, transport, and sell them by yourself.
Wait for Zhu Dahai to find Hu Yong and others to help. Hu Yong said that they have already wholesaled vegetables and eggs and want to do their own business.
Moreover, Zhu Dahai wants to hire two of the four of them.
After comparing them, they are willing to do business with four people. Anyway, let's try it tomorrow. There are so many people buying vegetables in this area, it won't be a big deal.
Zhu Dahai had no choice but to find people in the next door compound.
On the morning of the 9th, he came to Fang Mingche and Lin Yan and said he was quitting.
Fang Mingche smiled, "Everyone has their own aspirations. As for the vegetable business, let's just do our own thing and compete fairly."
Zhu Dahai nodded and left, a little embarrassed.
Lin Yan took Liu Qingfeng and Geng Shan to the scrap yard. Well, she would pay one dollar and fifty cents less a day. It was really busy at the beginning.
Fang Mingche came back from closing the stall in the afternoon and asked about Hu Yong's business.
Hu Yong said, "It's sold out, sold out before noon. The four of us fought guerrilla warfare in the four directions of the vegetable market, and each of us sold more than 20 kilograms of vegetables. There weren't enough eggs to sell."
"Then let Lin Yan increase the supply for you. Before, no one was sure, so how could we let go? Besides, you guys were a little shy when you first started selling vegetables, right?"
Hu Yong and the other four were indeed a little embarrassed. As young men, it was really embarrassing to sell vegetables on the street. If life hadn't forced them to this point, they probably wouldn't have the courage.
Fang Mingche said, "It's okay. Practice makes perfect. We can supply more vegetables then."
Fortunately, Ah Yan made some profit as a middleman. The four of them shared it, about two yuan a day.
This should not be attractive to Liu Qingfeng and the others. After all, they only made one and a half yuan a day, and they also had two meals. I don't know how Zhu Dahai is doing.
Later, Lin Yan and the others came back. They still brought a car full of vegetables and eggs.
Well, Fang Mingche and Yan Yan had dinner at Cui's restaurant. It was a hot day, and he didn't want to cook under the hot stove after a day of stall business. Old Cui said that his clothes would get wet and dry, dry and wet every day.
The father and son even took a shower now.
Lin Yan entered the door of the small side yard, and Liu Qingfeng and Geng Shan helped carry the frames in.
Liu Qingfeng and Geng Shan were actually very concerned about how much Hu Yong and the other four could earn a day. After returning, they couldn't help but ask.
Everyone lived in the same yard, so Hu Yong and the others told the truth.
The profit of two yuan a day did not attract Liu Qingfeng and Geng Shan to change their ways.
The business of the scrap yard was slightly better today than yesterday. Indeed, the reputation spread slowly. Judging from the situation, it should be able to be stable.
Now everyone's focus shifted to Zhu Dahai.
Liu Qingfeng said, "Let's go, go home and take a shower first."
He worked 24 days a month and got a regular salary of 36 yuan. He also got ten yuan a month for transporting vegetables.
As for Geng Shan, Lin Yan said that if he was willing to work overtime on four Sundays, he would get two yuan a day! That's about right. We still have to balance it out a little.
This income is good, and it's less troublesome.
Hu Yong and others saw Xiao Xie walking over here, and immediately followed.
"Xiao Xie, how many eggs did you sell today?"
"More today, more than ninety. But there are still twenty left."
Her mother-in-law was making a fuss about eating eggs, so she cracked three to make stewed eggs in the evening. After steaming, drizzle a little lard and oil press on top, it will be a very delicious dish.
Hu Yong said, "It's a pity that you don't have so much time. You can only wait at the door of the hospital. Otherwise, you can sell more."
"Yes. But it's good this way now!"
Xiao Xie gave nine yuan today and took away another box of eggs. Her job is actually the easiest.
It was just after she left that Sister Cui came over with meat.
Sister Cui didn't take any eggs today, so there were three boxes left for Hu Yong and his friends.
Originally, they only received more than three boxes, but Lin Yan put in dozens of eggs that were scattered yesterday to make up a whole.
After Sister Cui weighed some vegetables and left, Hu Yong told Lin Yan, "Teacher Lin, you can get more eggs."
"Three boxes are needed?"
"Eggs are easy to sell. There are four of us."
"Okay, I'll talk to the villagers. But you should also pay attention. People buy ten and can eat them for several days. They won't buy them these days."
There are not enough eggs in this village, and the hens can't lay eggs that fast. But the young wives who married from nearby villages also came to ask today. They also want to send eggs from their mother's homes and ask if they want them.
In fact, it can be added to the eggs at my mother-in-law's house and sold here. But what if Teacher Lin only takes a certain amount, and other families in the village cannot sell nearby, it will affect the relationship between neighbors. Unlimited quantity, that's great!
Hu Yong thought about it, "Then we can go a little further to sell."
Fang Mingche nodded, that's fine. Occupy the market!
Later, Xiao Xie came again. Tell Lin Yan that Zhu Dahai has found two helpers.
And he will stay at his uncle's house in the countryside tonight. Prepare to carry the purchased eggs and vegetables to the city early tomorrow morning.
Lin Yan said: "Well, it's better to deliver vegetables in the morning with manpower. The key is to see how he sells."
A shout came from the public phone outside, "Fang Mingche, phone--"
Mingche was actually thinking about it in his heart, and ran out quickly.
Yanyan, who had washed and combed half of her hair, stood there. Half of her hair was combed, and the other half was still frizzy. Dad left a sentence "Go find mom", stuffed the comb into her hand and ran out.
Lin Yan came over, "Come here, mom will comb your hair."
She was also concerned about this call. If it was really the acceptance letter that arrived, it would be great if it was Brother Mingfeng calling.
Fang Mingche ran over, "Hello?"
"Mingche, it's me. Your acceptance letter has arrived."
Fang Mingche felt relieved. College entrance examination admission notices are sent out in batches, and the better the school, the higher the score.
"Is it Beijing Normal University? What major?"
Teacher Gao was definitely admitted to the Capital Normal University's undergraduate program in the Department of Political Science. His admission notice hasn't even arrived yet. This is a local area!
So, if it was sent to his hometown at this time, it must be Beijing Normal University.
"It's Beijing Normal University, English major. The one you scored 96 points in."
Fang Mingche's heart finally settled down. Beijing Normal University, it was worth his hard work in reviewing after the stall in the past few months.
To be honest, I should thank Wang Dexian for providing the information about the famous school's repeater class. By the way, he also found English newspapers and magazines for him. He even managed to complete a reading comprehension question he had seen before.
"This school should be quite good. When the postman delivered it, not only Uncle Qi, but even the secretary was so happy. You are the first native college student in our village. At that time, it was said that everyone was still working in the fields, and the secretary immediately ran to the radio room to speak out. The whole village knew it at the first time. It is said that Uncle Qi laughed so hard that his mouth could not close. This time, no one will say that you have a problem with your brain."
The last time Fang Mingche returned to his hometown, he looked pretty good. Many people have changed their views.
But there are also stubborn people who think that no matter how much money you make by setting up a stall, you can't escape the class of scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans, and merchants are the lowest. And setting up a stall is not stable!
But now Mingche has been admitted to a university, and it sounds like a good university. This is very different.
He went to the capital to set up a stall and review at the same time, and immediately became a visionary! Didn't Mingche say that the review materials of the capital's schools are much better than those in our small place?
"Wait, I'll ask for a long vacation tomorrow. Then I'll get all the necessary formalities done for you and bring them to the capital."
He had to see if the capital had the right soil for him to make a fortune. After all, it's not easy to live in the capital!
Asking for a long vacation first, if he doesn't make it in the capital, he still has a way out.
Fang Mingche said: "Okay, Brother Mingfeng. Tell me when you buy the train ticket, and I'll pick you up on a tricycle."
"Okay!"
Fang Mingche hung up the phone and walked back.
"Hey, Mr. Fang, congratulations!" The boss called him.
Fang Mingche realized that he forgot to pay. He quickly took out a one-cent note and handed it over.
"Sorry!"
"It's okay, it's okay, I understand! If I get into college, I won't even walk."
Tsk tsk, this is a leap over the dragon gate! He went from a blind drifter to a college student who was superior to others and a child of destiny.
Fang Mingche went back all the way with a bigger smile on his face!
It's really great to be admitted to Beijing Normal University. This is currently in the top ten in the country. He is a famous university student!
Along the way, people who saw him smiling like that said "congratulations". Those who can get into college nowadays are the elites of the nation. They will definitely develop very well in the future!
"Thank you, thank you!"
After returning, Fang Mingche picked up Yan Yan and threw her into the air. Girl, your dad got into a better school than you!
Oh, no, the conditions in this life are different, and you will get into a better university.
Teacher Gao also came over after hearing the news, and Xiao Xie happened to be here too.
Looking at the three college students, only she didn't even go to elementary school. The self-confidence that had just been built up by earning 1.8 yuan by herself in the past two days was hit again.
Lin Yan patted her shoulder, "You can make money first. When you have money, you can study slowly in the future. It would be best if you can get into a full-time school. If you can't, you can still go to night school. Now that we have the conditions, let's take it step by step."
Xiao Xie nodded, "Yeah."
Teacher Gao also said, "That's right, I don't dislike you."
Xiao Xie thought to herself: That's because your mother still needs my care!
Otherwise, she really has to worry that Teacher Gao will go to college and face those female college students who have a common language, and she will not be able to control herself.
He always admired Teacher Lin when he mentioned her. Because, they were the same kind! When he went to university, there would be people of his kind there. And they were all unmarried!
Fang Mingche said to Teacher Gao and Lin Yan, "Wait, it will be your turn soon."
Fang Mingfeng happily asked his wife to pack his bag. He went to ask Fang Mingche's parents if they had anything to bring him.
Fang's father said, "He said last time that everything is available in the capital, so there is no need to prepare anything for him. And he doesn't like to eat pickled mustard, fermented bean curd, bacon, or sausages. He just likes to eat fresh food. In this dog days, what fresh food can be brought? Unless there is the vacuum bag he brought back last time."
Fang Mingfeng said, "Seventh Uncle, that's not a bag. It's pressed with a vacuum machine. All the air in the bag is sucked out, so it won't go bad. Seventh Uncle, why don't you just come with me?"
Going to the capital, this is definitely attractive to every Chinese.
But, "The autumn harvest is coming soon. How can you ask for leave at this time? Besides, it costs two yuan to go to the city, and it costs more than twenty yuan to take a bus from the city to the capital. Thirty yuan each way!"
Fang's father waved his hand, indicating that he would not go. Besides, he said that the autumn harvest was coming soon and he could not ask for leave from the production team leader, and
he was also reluctant to spend the travel expenses. Moreover, if Mingfeng stayed in the capital and did not come back, wouldn't he have to come back by himself from a faraway place? Mingche would not have time to see him off then.
Many of the older generation had never traveled far away. They had been wandering around within a radius of ten miles all their lives. If he went far away, he would feel uneasy. He was always afraid that something would happen!
Fang Mingfeng said, "Okay, then I'll go by myself. I'm afraid I have to pay the production team for not participating in the autumn harvest next month before I can leave."
Nowadays, participating in collective labor is compulsory. People like Fang Mingfeng who work outside have delayed collective labor. He also has to pay a sum of money to the village collective every month.
Oh, that's right, it didn't delay. For example, Uncle Xia's job was introduced by the Party Secretary, and he also had to pay money to the village collective.
Fang Minghua said, "Didn't the second brother say that you go, Mom and Dad, and he will pay for the travel expenses?"
"Isn't your brother's money money? That tea stall will definitely not be able to open when school starts. They will have to rely on subsidies to make a living and also have to take care of their beauty."
Fang's mother also said: "They both live on campus, can Lin Yan send her daughter back to her parents' home to take care of her? In this way, the rented house can be returned."
Fang's father said: "Don't worry about it, they know how to arrange it."
Fang Minghua said: "Dad, I would like to go together."
Fang's father said: "Have you practiced Mandarin well? And if you go, your brother didn't say that he would reimburse your travel expenses. Do you have 60 yuan?"
Of course not. Aren't you in charge of all the money in this family?
Fang's father felt that he couldn't let his eldest son, who was ambitious but incompetent, hold back his younger son. He would definitely not give him the travel money.
It's good enough for the family to be able to fool so many people in the family every month.
Now the current deposit on his slip is still the 40 yuan that the second son brought back last time. Oh, the second son also remitted the 20 yuan for July and August a few days ago.
As for the fixed deposit, it is the 500 yuan that the second son sold his job.
Now it seems that it is a good thing to sell the job in February. Otherwise, although the major is suitable, the school will provide basic salary for the next four years.
But if you don't return to your original unit after graduation, you have to return the money. It's better to do it this way now!
"Mingfeng, ask him if he needs money. If he does, I will send him 200."
Fang Minghua frowned. Wouldn't the 500 be spent on the second child in some way? He has two sons and a daughter to support! Even Fang Fang will be sent to the first grade next semester.
Nowadays, it is not allowed to let girls be blind. If they can't read, they will be inferior to others when they find a husband. They must be sent to study for two years to learn to read.
Fang Mingfeng said: "He can do well in the capital, how can he still need your 200?"
When the boy arrived in the capital, he had a net worth of 2,000. Now he has been doing business for a few months. Since he said that the business is okay, it must be more than this amount.
Fang Mingfeng returned home and was a little excited about going to the capital. He always went south, but this time he was going north. Mingche had gone there first and had settled down, so it would be much easier for him to go there. He was used to traveling around for many years, so he would not feel uncomfortable because he was going far away.
"Dad, I heard that you are going to the capital to visit Uncle Mingche's family? I want to go with you." Fang Mingfeng's daughter Fang Tong ran over and hugged his thighs.
He looked at his wife. How could you tell her?
Once he felt that the capital was suitable for him, he would not plan to come back. But picking up his wife and daughter was the next step.
If it were not for them, he would not be able to make up his mind to give up his current well-paid truck driver job. He was afraid that if he could not come back, he would leave his orphan and widow to live a miserable life. Although he was having affairs outside, his wife and children were still the first priority in his heart. The key was that he had not given birth to a son yet.
His wife said, "I told our mother, she heard it outside."
Fang Mingfeng said, "Then you pack her clothes."
His wife glared at him! She knew that he could not really take his daughter with him. She turned around and ran away secretly. She had to comfort her daughter when she was crying.
Fang Tong immediately pulled her mother in happily. She said she wanted to bring some clothes and also bring a gift for Fang Shuyan.
The next day, Fang Mingfeng asked for a long vacation, but in fact, the boss knew what was going on.
"Okay, you go to the capital to have a look. If it doesn't suit you, come back. There is still a place for you here."
An experienced driver, it is indeed rare.
Fang Tong also talked to her friends outside that she was going to the capital to see Tiananmen Square. When Fang Jian heard about it, he immediately ran back home.
"Grandpa, Fang Tong is going to the capital. I also want to see my second uncle."
Fang's father raised his eyebrows. It's impossible! Mingfeng is prepared not to come back. If you take such a young daughter with you, will she go to study at a high price?
Last time, Lin Yan came back to handle the procedures for Yanyan to transfer her household registration. It was mentioned once that if you don't transfer your household registration, you can only go to school with connections, and you have to pay a high price.
He walked over with his hands behind his back and asked Fang Mingfeng's father, "Second brother, is Tongtong really going?"
"No, she was making a fuss about going, and Mingfeng was trying to coax her. After that, we'll complete all the formalities that should be done on behalf of Mingche, and have someone coax the child away, and he'll go to the city by himself."
Fang's father didn't say that when he went back. Fang Jian was not careful with his mouth, and if he told Fang Tong about it later, he would make a fuss.
He just said to his eldest grandson, "I'm going there after the autumn harvest. If you really want to go, get a perfect score. Even if it's just a normal test."
For a kid of eight or nine, the travel expenses are not required. If he can really get a perfect score, it's okay to take him out to broaden his horizons. However, it's almost impossible for the eldest grandson to get a perfect score.
Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, Fang Jian wailed, "Grandpa, how can I get a perfect score? I almost failed last semester."
"Then why are you going to the capital? We Fang family members are not stupid. Your second uncle even got admitted to a good university in Beijing. If you don't work hard, you will be facing the loess and back to the sky for the rest of your life! Okay, stop making trouble! It's ugly for a boy."
Fang Fang looked at him timidly, "Grandpa, if I can get a perfect score, can you take me with you?" She also wanted to go to the capital!
Fang's father frowned, "You are a girl, it's not convenient for me to take you out. Your second uncle and second aunt like you very much. When they come back during the winter vacation, you can talk to them."
Fang Fang had to nod, "Okay."
Fang Mingfeng took Fang Mingche's household registration booklet and his own household registration booklet and went to various places for him to handle various procedures. He also asked someone to buy a hard seat ticket.
Then he ran to the post office on the street and called the owner of the public phone there to ask him to record his arrival time and flight number.
He had already taken a long vacation, so it was not easy for him to make a long-distance call to his boss. And the round-trip fare was 60 cents.
The boss remembered his voice. Every time he called Fang Mingche, he heard the same voice.
"Okay, I remember it. I'll tell him when he comes back from closing his stall."
"Oh, sorry to bother you."
Fang Mingche has already set up a tea stall. When the people in the handicraft cooperative learned that he had received an admission letter from Beijing Normal University, their attitude became much better.
He has adjusted himself now, so he is not angry about this arrogance. People are always like this, bullying the good and fearing the evil, bullying the weak and fearing the strong. He felt a little funny and just perfunctorily answered.
There were not many tourists at the moment, so he first dried twenty large bowls of tea. Then he took the large cattail leaf fan he brought with him and fanned himself.
Someone from the cooperative came to ask about the simple English spoken language that he had taught before, and he answered a few questions.
After the waiters left, Song Quan said, "Congratulations!"
"Congratulations, everyone is much better off now."
"Nothing like you, you will be a child of destiny in the future."
Fang Mingche smiled, "If your cooperative can seize the opportunity, it will still usher in new development."
As they were talking, Xiao Ding, who came to the cooperative to deliver goods, said, "There's a commotion! Teacher Fang, Song Tou, there's a commotion over there in your slum."
Song Quan said, "What's going on? Explain it clearly."
Xiao Ding said, "Zhu Dahai from your slum, today he brought 100 to 80 kilograms of vegetables and a few boxes of eggs into the city. When I passed by, I saw him arguing with two people from the slum next door. The two people said that Hu Yong and his friends all worked together and shared the money. They want to do the same!"
As far as Mingche knew, Zhu Dahai also promised the two educated youths who returned to the city next door one yuan a day. Vegetables are mainly sold in the morning.
He makes 12 or 13 yuan (he buys them himself, and there are no middlemen to make a profit, so the profit will be higher), and he gives the two people two yuan. So what he earns is not bad.
One yuan for half a day is not a small amount. But when they heard that Hu Yong and the others could earn two yuan, the two were not happy.
Fang Mingche said, "What happened later?"
"Later, Zhu Dahai said that he had provided all the capital and he was also the one who went to purchase the goods. Why should they get a share? He also said that Liu Xiaoqing only made 50 yuan a month. He gave them one yuan for half a day, and they still made a fuss! The two said that Liu Xiaoqing also gave food coupons. Moreover, she will be able to get a house in the Beijing Film Studio in the future, and her medical expenses can be reimbursed in proportion when she is sick. Even Liu Qingfeng and Geng Shan worked with you, Teacher Fang
, and they were given two meals of meat every day. The two sides started arguing like this!" Fang Mingche found it a little funny, but it is estimated that the Beijing Film Studio only gave the national actress Liu Xiaoqing 50 yuan a month these days. However, the Beijing Film Studio should have transferred her to Beijing. Transferring to Beijing through job transfer is the best way to transfer household registration besides getting into college. It is a huge problem for outsiders to transfer to Beijing now.
In 1987, Dream of the Red Chamber was so successful, but in the end, only Dongfang Wenying and Zhang Li were chosen. Chen Xiaoxu, Deng Jie, Ouyang Fenqiang and others were not selected.
Fang Mingche laughed, "Once the position changed, Zhu Dahai's role also changed immediately."
Now he either agreed to raise the salary of the two to two yuan a day, or he had to set up a stall by himself. If he agreed to the two, he would be controlled. From time to time in the future, they would make a scene for him to ask for a salary increase. After all, Hu Yong and his team had to increase the number of eggs and vegetables today. The profit must be increased.
Even Xiao Xie sold more than 110 eggs yesterday. Last night, he took 150 eggs back with great enthusiasm.
If Zhu Dahai went to sell by himself, it would be his first time to sell so many vegetables. He might not be able to sell them all. Unless he lowered the price!
However, "he could raise the salary of the two today and replace them with two people immediately after they sold out." It's
not like he can't find other helpers now. There are many educated youth who have returned to the city without jobs!
Song Quan shook his head. "It would be strange if these two didn't make trouble every day at first. Or, he could learn from your Lin Yan and sell it wholesale to others. But if those two are not settled, they will definitely say that he is stingy. Call on others to discipline him and let him know what is good and bad. Then he may not be allowed to be his subordinate. So, it must be resolved as soon as possible."
He said and glanced at Fang Mingche. You pulled Hu Yong and the other four as subordinates. Did you expect this development?
Fang Mingche waved his hand. Don't you all want to admit it?
"I'm not Zhuge Kongming who has no plan. I was worried that he made too much money and shook Liu Qingfeng and Geng Shan's mind."
Now it seems that Zhu Dahai will never tell others how much he earns. Then his employees will make trouble. This time Zhu Dahai should realize the disadvantages of having too many people under his command.
Some tourists came to drink tea, Fang Mingche said: "Two cents a bowl, welcome to patronize!"
How Zhu Dahai's business is doing is none of his business. In such a large market, he and A Yan are not actually competing.
When Fang Mingche closed up his stall and went back in the afternoon, the owner of the public telephone told him the message Fang Mingfeng asked him to bring.
Fang Mingche still gave him ten cents, "Thank you for answering the phone."
This way, next time someone from his hometown wants to bring a message, people will be happy to continue to bring it.
"Teacher Fang, you are too polite."
Fang Mingche looked at the time and took the train that was around four in the afternoon. It will arrive in four days! Then he will close the stall early and go to the train station.
He asked around and found out that Zhu Dahai was selling vegetables on his tricycle today. Moreover, the vegetable market drove him away and didn't let him get close. It's too much for one person to sell so much.
It's not so easy to sell far away from the vegetable market. I heard that he didn't sell out in the morning and hasn't come back yet. It's so hot, the vegetables must have wilted in the sun. They have to be sold at a discount!
After a while, Yanyan, who had played in the courtyard after dinner, ran back, "Dad, Uncle Zhu is back. The cart is empty!"
She had heard her father asking people about it before.
"Oh, they've sold all. How do you think he feels?"
Yanyan thought for
a moment and shook her head, "He doesn't look very good, and he looks very tired." Fang Mingche thought about it. He brought the vegetables back at eight in the morning, so he probably left at seven. But he picked and harvested them in the morning, so he probably got up at six at the latest.
He thought he could give the vegetables to the two men to sell after entering the city. They sold from eight to eleven or twelve, and each of them sold forty to fifty kilograms.
Who knew that the two were just like him, and they felt that the treatment was not good enough, so they started to make a fuss. He rode his tricycle out for a walk, and just now he came back after selling all the vegetables. Even if he came back to rest at noon, today was still a tough day.
But actually Zhu Dahai has learned this method well. He can even pick it in the morning. It's just that he thought that employing people was simple. If it was so simple, why should I give him chances again and again? Isn't it because I'm afraid that Liu Qingfeng and others will be hurt by the same kind?
Managing people is the most important knowledge. But as long as you can sort it out, it's fine. Even if he got a discount today, he should still make a few dollars.
