Five years of marriage, always separated [1970s]

Chu Guangming understood it immediately. This is how many connections are made.

"I'll go!" Chu Guangming said immediately.

Ye Fan was very pleased that the child did not disappoint her: "Then I will call back?"

Chu Guangming nodded repeatedly.

Ye Fan called back and wrote down the address: "His home is not far from your high school, maybe he knows you."

There is more than one high school around Ye Fan's home. Chu Guangming said, "Not necessarily."

"That doesn't matter. You can control him just because you are a student of Aviation University." Ye Fan said, "His father just wants him to go to school, not that you have to bring him up from the bottom to the top."

Dabao: "In this case, let's grasp the basics, right?"

Ye Fan looked at Chu Guangming, wanting to hear what he had to say.

Chu Guangming: "He needs to improve his basics. If his basics are too poor, he won't understand even if the explanation is too profound. But his father is a doctor, so his IQ shouldn't be so low. He didn't inherit his parents' strengths, but with his family resources, he has an average IQ, so he can probably get into an average undergraduate program."

Dabao: "That means your learning method is wrong."

Ye Fan: "Don't think too much about it. Guangming, you are a student now, so study first. Do what you want to do on Sunday. If you encounter something you don't understand, ask the teacher or ask Dabao to accompany you to my company to ask my employees for advice."

Chu Guangming: "Thank you, Aunt Ye. I'll go home and find my notes first."

Erbao asked him to wait a moment and gave him his study notes: "Here you go!"

Chu Guangming thanked him and prepared to go home, but Zhang Xiaoming came in and stopped him: "I knew you were at Dabao's. Don't go back yet."

Ye Fan: "What happened?"

Zhang Xiaoming dragged him into Dabao's room first: "His aunt went to my house to look for him, and I don't know who sent her away. I think he might be at Han Dawei's house."

Chu Guangming's classmate, childhood friend, and neighbor knew that he came to Dabao's house and suspected that his childhood friend did it: "Did he tell me why he was looking for me?"

Zhang Xiaoming: "I asked, but she didn't tell me. She knows you are familiar with our families, and she didn't see you at Dawei's house, so she must have come here to look for you."

Ye Fan: "You can't hide forever. Dabao, you go back with Guangming."

Dabao and Chu Guangming returned to the compound. Half an hour later, Chu Guangming's aunt came in with a cart. His aunt didn't ask how he spent the New Year, but accused him right away: "Where have you been?"

It seemed that she was worried that Chu Guangming would ask her for living expenses. Last year, when Chu Guangming was admitted to university, his aunt did not show up. Fortunately, Chu Guangming had a little hope for his aunt.

Chu Guangming treated her as a stranger and asked rudely, "What's the matter?"

"Is it okay for me to come and see you?"

Dabao sneered, "Come on. Why would you come to the compound if you have nothing to do? If you have nothing to do, Guangming, let's go play badminton."

Chu Guangming nodded: "I'll lock the door."

His aunt quickly said, "Don't!"

Chu Guangming stopped.

His aunt asked Dabao to go out for a while. Dabao put his hands in his pockets, leaning against the door frame, with an expression of "you can talk if you want".

Chu Guangming's aunt asked someone to inquire about her nephew's recent situation. She didn't find out that she and Chu Fenghe were relatives within the fifth degree of mourning, but she found out that Ye Fan's family was not ordinary.

His aunt envied her nephew for marrying a rich man, and always wanted to get close to him, but she couldn't find a suitable opportunity. Years ago, she complained that her child didn't study hard, and her mother-in-law asked her to ask Chu Guangming how he studied. His aunt thought of asking Chu Guangming to tutor her child.

When Dabao heard her name the purpose of her visit, he asked, "How much is it per day?"

Aunt Chu Guangming: "How much is it?"

"Tuition fees. Although the school provides subsidies, they are not enough to buy clothes and shoes. He doesn't have a job, how will he live if you don't give him tuition fees?" Dabao pointed at Chu Guangming, "The clothes he is wearing are all mine from two years ago. Do you want him to keep wearing my old clothes?"

His aunt hesitated for a moment and asked, "Where is the money his father gave him?"

Dabao: "Have you forgotten why you beat his father? You complained about the small amount of money at that time, but you don't complain now?"

"Isn't he working in your mother's store?"

Dabao laughed: "How can I work while tutoring your child? I work during the day and go to your house for tutoring at night? What are you dreaming of?" He grabbed Chu Guangming's arm: "Let's go, ignore her!"

His aunt chased after him: "Guangming, for your sake——"

Dabao stopped and said, "Stop using moral blackmail! Were you nice to him before because he helped you take care of your dad? Guangming doesn't wash and cook for his grandfather. Even if you and his dad take turns serving him, you still have to serve him for half a year."

The neighbors in the compound immediately thought of Chu Guangming, who learned to cook at the age of eight, learned to wash clothes at the age of nine, and took care of all the housework at the age of ten. The way they looked at Chu Guangming's aunt suddenly changed.

There are some things that Chu Guangming cannot say as a junior, but Dabao, as an outsider, does not need to worry: "Chu Guangming can't help your child with his lessons even if he is free. He is so busy during normal times, he can only take a few days off during the New Year."

The neighbors in the compound all knew that Chu Guangming had tutored others last summer and helped out at Ye Fan's store on weekends. Upon hearing this, the neighbors persuaded Chu Guangming's aunt to let the child go.

There were dozens of people living in the compound, and her aunt didn't dare to use force, so she could only let Dabao drag the people away.

Dabao took him to Zhang Xiaoming's house and scolded him: "Don't be soft-hearted!"

Chu Guangming smiled and said, "I'm not stupid."

Dabao: "Stay at Xiaoming's house for a while before going back. I'll go home and tell mom that it's done."

Ye Fan was speechless and angry after listening to Dabao's story. "His aunt is so calculating. If she hadn't been in jail before, she wouldn't have dared to do anything big. She might have asked Guangming to take the exam for her son."

Dabao said, "I originally thought his aunt had some conscience. Mom, do you think Guangming will become like his aunt in the future?"

Ye Fan: "Your aunt loved you when she was as old as Guangming, right?"

Dabao nodded: "I didn't expect my aunt to become like this."

"Since the future is unpredictable, there's no point in thinking so much now. Maybe your dad and I are fine now, but we'll suddenly get tired of each other when we're seventy years old." Ye Fan said, "Live well in the present, and we'll talk about the future later."

Dabao: "What if he stabs me in the back?"

Ye Fan said, "There are signs of this happening. If you are more careful, it won't happen. But I think you worry too much. People with twisted minds won't be as frank as him. Although there are also people who are two-faced, Guangming is as big as you, and he hasn't learned to say one thing in front of others and another behind their backs."

Dabao wasn't afraid of being betrayed, he just couldn't understand: "His family is like that, but he is actually so good in every aspect. It's unbelievable."

Yu Wentao: "Your father, your uncle, your second uncle, and me, isn't that good? We can even have your aunt. What's so incredible about that?"

Shut up, Dabao!

Ye Fan didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "I'll go pack my things, Dabao, we'll go to your uncle's house tomorrow."

Dabao jumped to his mother's side: "I'll help you!"

Ye Fan asked his sister-in-law if she was going to the south.

Yang Mengxia shook her head: "No. Taking the train is too tiring."

Geng Leilei and Geng Sensen were both at home. When they heard what happened, they asked her to go back to the room and called Geng Huihui, and the four of them played cards.

Geng Sensen bought a pendant for his brother and mother, so that his mother and brother looked at him more favorably and gave him face even when they didn't want to play cards.

Yu Wentao went out to find someone to chat with.

Time flies, and the Lantern Festival is here before we know it.

On the day of the Lantern Festival, Sun Laifu called Ye Fan and said that his wife wanted to invite Guangming to her home to celebrate the Lantern Festival. Ye Fan said that Guangming would celebrate at his home and asked Dabao and Guangming to bring him dinner.

Sun Laifu worked with his master, so he was naturally there at night, so Ye Fan prepared two portions. In order to avoid diarrhea during the operation, Ye Fan did not dare to make anything strange. In addition to a portion of glutinous rice balls, he also prepared two boxes of steamed dumplings.

The two brothers brought it over. Sun Laifu and his master had just gotten off the operating table. There was another operation to be performed that evening, and the sweet sesame dumplings were just right for replenishing their energy.

His master took the opportunity to finalize the weekend tutoring with Chu Guangming.

Chu Guangming was well aware that he had missed out on some connections and might not be able to buy them back even if he spent a lot of money in the future, so although he really wanted to develop software to make money, he still agreed to tutor the doctor's child.

No one expected something to go wrong.

On May Day, Chu Guangming came to Ye Fan's house early in the morning and handed Ye Fan a letter.

Ye Fan was confused: "What do you mean?"

Chu Guangming looked embarrassed: "Please take a look first."

Ye Fan opened it and immediately felt dumbfounded: "This - a love letter written to you by your student's sister?"

Chu Guangming nodded: "She is only fifteen years old this year, not yet an adult. Aunt Ye, will her family misunderstand me? What did I do?" "No!" Seeing that he was worried, Ye Fan smiled and said: "It is normal for a young girl who is just beginning to fall in love to have someone she likes. Geng Erbao——"

Erbao leaned against the window and said, "I don't have it!"

Ye Fan: "You're a star chaser, right? Do you want me to count how many posters you have in your room? Is there one of a female star?"

Erbao was so angry that he pouted and closed the window.

Ye Fan said: "I will go back and talk to Lai Fu's master."

Chu Guangming felt relieved and immediately approached Dabao to discuss lending him his computer for a day, and he would give him 10% of the profits.

Dabao sighed: "You are better at making cakes than my mother."

Chu Guangming pushed him into the house.

Ye Fan asked: "Have you eaten?"

"Eat it!" Chu Guangming said loudly.

Dabao hasn’t eaten yet, so let him play by himself in the room.

After dinner, Ye Fan went to the hospital.

It was also a coincidence that Sun Laifu's master did not have an operation in the morning, as if the patient also wanted to celebrate the holiday. Fortunately, his office was for two people, and the other doctor was out for rounds, so Ye Fan dared to take out the letter directly.

Sun Lai Fu's master was at a loss whether to laugh or cry after seeing this, and said he thought something big had happened.

Ye Fan pointed at the letter and said, "Not angry?"

"My daughter has such good vision, why are you angry?" The doctor, who was nearly fifty years old, laughed, and then asked if she could make the decision on Chu Guangming's major life events.

Ye Fan immediately wanted to ask his sister-in-law to come over and hear how popular talented people are - Chu Guangming's parents are not decent, so he can only rely on himself, and the big doctors in the big hospital don't mind.

Ye Fan: "That kid hasn't thought about this problem. He's a little afraid to go to your house because he's not afraid of offending you."

"No." The doctor was anxious.

My daughter is fifteen years old and her character is still undecided. She likes Chu Guangming now, but she may like someone else tomorrow. Besides, she can marry someone else if she doesn't marry Chu Guangming. If my son doesn't go to school, his life will be over.

Ye Fan: "Then you have to take care of your daughter. Think about it, when he comes to your house on the weekend, your daughter will be watching him. How can he tutor Mr. Ling?"

Lai Fu's teacher nodded and said, "I'll take care of it. If it doesn't work, ask my son to come over. My son did well in the midterm exam, and the teacher suspected that he cheated, and even called my wife. If nothing goes wrong, he will be able to go to college."

Ye Fan heard Chu Guangming mention that half of them passed, and the other half scored 70 or 80 points, which was still a long way from being admitted to the worst university in the capital: "Then I will tell Guangming to clean up his family."

The doctor was not very happy, as it sounded as if his daughter was ignorant.

However, when she got home at night, she didn't allow her daughter to harass Chu Guangming. She thought he was old-fashioned and too nosy. She also thought he was not free and democratic enough, and was too feudal.

The doctor almost had a heart attack. The next day, he asked Sun Laifu to call Ye Fan and ask Chu Guangming to wait for him at home over the weekend.

Ye Fan handed the matter over to her mother-in-law. When the snow melted in the north, she took a few people to deliver goods to the north. Ye Fan also agreed with them to deliver goods once a season, with guaranteed quality and quantity.

Eastern Europe was in turmoil, the Soviet people were restless, and the merchants there were afraid of accidents. Naturally, they did not want to change sellers and cause trouble for themselves, so they agreed to Ye Fan, who seemed sincere, to deliver goods four times a year.

In mid-June, Ye Fan went south to contact the Soviet Union for supplies that were in short supply. Although there was a contract, what was the point of having a contract in cross-border trade on someone else's territory? So Ye Fan still only used the money he earned last time to stock up.

Chang Guangrong's factory was completed, and it was time to buy machines and recruit workers. He was too busy to do anything, so the second quarter's goods belonged to Ye Fan, Zhang Xiaoming, and Wei Jianshe. Zhang Xiaoming and Wei Jianshe always felt that the profiteering was immoral, so they didn't dare to do too much, so they invested the money they earned in the first quarter and the capital.

In early July, Wei Jianshe received the goods in the capital. The truck was put on the international train. Ye Fan brought Wei Jianshe and dozens of other independent traders. Half of them were Dabao's classmates, and half were neighbors.

Ye Fan brought them along so that he could have someone to look after him on the road.

Dabao also wanted to go, but Ye Fan told him to go next time. Because winter comes early in the north, the third quarter's goods should be delivered in August, and the fourth quarter's goods should be delivered in late September or early October.

Chu Guangming originally wanted to go, but his junior brother Sun Laifu felt that he did not need to go abroad to study. Sun Laifu's wife was very happy and told everyone that Chu Guangming would give extra lessons, so that he received several invitations by the end of June.

Chu Guangming asked Sun Laifu's wife to help him choose, and she chose the richest one, saying that the other party was generous in giving money and his family would be satisfied with any slight improvement.

When they arrived abroad, Ye Fan asked those fledglings in the ivory tower to take a good look at the outside world.

Dozens of peddlers were carrying in-demand goods. After getting the money from Ye Fan, they sold all the goods.

It was a hot day, and everyone wore long sleeves and long pants with many small pockets inside to stuff their money. Only when the train entered the country did everyone dare to have a good sleep.

Ye Fan brought two suitcases. One big suitcase was filled with clothes, and inside the clothes was a small 17-inch suitcase, which was full of US dollars.

When they got home, Ye Fan opened the box. Even though Wei Jianshe was mentally prepared, he still couldn't help but gasp.

Ye Fan settled the accounts on the way here: "Yours!" He gave him a few stacks of paper. "Are you jealous?"

Wei Jianshe shook his head: "I'm worried that I'll earn money but won't be able to spend it. With your family background, the bank wouldn't dare to say anything even if they knew you had this much money."

Ye Fan took out a few more stacks, "This is Xiao Ming's."

Wei Jianshe suddenly realized something was wrong: "Too much!"

Ye Fan nodded: "I'll make it a whole number for you guys."

"This, this is so embarrassing." Wei Jianshe was not polite, "Sister Ye, how much money should you prepare next time?"

Ye Fan: "Same as this time."

Wei Jianshe was stunned for a moment and asked, "I thought you would use the money you earned this time to stock up."

Ye Fan shook his head: "Too much! Once they see how much money we have, they will most likely pretend to be thieves and steal it away. If they offend us, they can still do business with others. Let them mistakenly think that we are cowardly, and maybe they will do business with us for a few years. Let them get jealous, and the next time may be the last time."

"You are really cautious." Wei Jianshe was convinced, "You are not confused when you see so much money."

Ye Fan: "You know that you can earn money but not spend it, but I don't know that? Dabao and Erbao are both in school, and my relaxing days have just begun."

“When will the factory be repaired?”

Ye Fan used the money she earned last year to buy a piece of land reserved for her by the government. She asked Erbao to draw a rough outline of the surrounding area, mark the area of ​​the vacant land, and send it to Gangcheng, asking a designer from Gangcheng to help her design an office building. Although there is no shortage of designers in the mainland, they are still a little at a loss when it comes to standard workshops and offices.

Ye Fan: "As soon as the design draft arrives, I'll find the construction team."

"Looking for a large construction team?"

Ye Fan nodded: "Look for a state-owned enterprise. I trust them to do the work." Pointing at the funds, "Except for the principal, keep all for building the house."

“It feels like there’s no end to it.”

If you can't use it all, save it. Ye Fan said: "The money from the third quarter will be used to buy machines. If they don't have money to give, let them find me a machine. I'm worried that they can't get it in Hong Kong City."

After more than half a year without any news, Wei Jianshe also felt that Ye Fangangcheng’s partnership was not good enough.

Wei Jianshe didn't dare to mess around with the money, so he went to find Zhang Xiaoming after helping Ye Fan save the money. When Zhang Xiaoming heard that Ye Fan didn't add the principal, he told Wei Jianshe to keep the same amount of principal as last time. So the two brothers saved all the remaining money.

The people who worked as sole traders with Ye Fan chatted in the alley in the afternoon and praised Ye Fan for making a lot of money.

Ye Fan shook his head: "No more!"

Aunt Li laughed and said, "Nonsense again!"

Ye Fan nodded: "It's really gone! The government reserved a piece of land for me in the north, but I don't have the money to buy it. I went to the city government to hand in the money this morning. I will use the money I earn in the second half of the year to build an office building."

Aunt Li exclaimed: "Give it all?"

Ye Fan: "I don't have enough money for such a large piece of land. My company used to be in Tianjin, but I agreed to move back to the capital, and they agreed to give me a cheaper price."

Aunt Li said with a sigh: "Is this helping the government make money?"

Ye Fan: "The government has money to build houses. If they demolish our house later, you can move into the new house in advance."

Aunt Li suddenly realized: "So that's how it is. I was wondering why no one has started construction even though the document has been out for a year. It turns out that no one has the money."

Ye Fan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, changed the subject, and asked the swindler, "How much money did you make?" He paused, "You are richer than me."

The peddler did not say how much he earned, but instead said, "You don't have money now, but you will have money once you build a house."

Ye Fan: "I don't have any money. The land given by the government can only be used for office use, not for commercial housing."

As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Guangming came over. Ye Fan suspected that this boy came to borrow Dabao's computer again. His classmate also came. Among the people who were doing business alone this time, there were people from the compound. Ye Fan asked his classmate: "Your father doesn't object to you doing business, right?"
