Back to 1979: Sending the Educated Youth’s Wife Back to the City

Chapter 178: Attack from afar and make friends nearby
Although Fang Mingche was prepared to make a clear decision on whether to pay taxes according to the law and regain his previous position, the tax law would not be implemented until next New Year's Day. So, he just said it here first.

He tried his best to unite the five neighbors who were also doing business in the compound. Attack those far away and make friends those nearby!
He didn't want to annex the six kingdoms, so he didn't want to make friends with distant countries and attack nearby ones. He just wanted his family and children to be safe and sound.

This strategy is generally more realistic. At least these five people will not attack his family, and that's enough.

Next door are Liu Qingfeng, Geng Shan, and Gao Xiang, all of whom make a living for him. Song Quan, more than 80% of the business now has something to do with him. And the Gu family and Aunt Yuan are all on good terms with him. In general, his relationship with his neighbors is pretty good.

But Qi Shun had caused A Yan to lose her vegetable business that earned more than 30,000 yuan a year, which made her angry for a while during her pregnancy. This account could not be ignored.

It's hard to give up Shancai! Moreover, he definitely can't let people really treat him as a soft persimmon! Otherwise, people who covet his business and property will emerge in an endless stream. Especially in the future, his wealth should become more and more amazing.

At a time when the average monthly income of the capital is only a few dozen, his two businesses together bring in 20,000 a month! Money is so tempting!

From thieves like Liu Sanwa to high-ranking officials like Cao Ze who wanted to rob others by trickery, hadn't they all targeted him before? Fang Mingche thought it was a good idea to have a character who was vindictive and could distinguish between gratitude and resentment.

So, it doesn't matter if people say I'm vindictive or something like that. Anyway, I just follow the Chairman's words: If no one offends me, I won't offend anyone; if someone offends me, I will definitely offend him.

Hu Yong and the other five walked out of the small courtyard and couldn't help looking at each other. Really, I didn't expect intellectuals to hold grudges like this!

Hu Yong and the other four were fine, they just took advantage of the Fang family and didn't do anything to them. When the Fang family had problems, they contributed money and effort within their ability. This is at least an attitude!

But Zhu Dahai had really stabbed the Fang family in the back, and at one point he even tried to steal the next customer of Lin Yan's vegetable business. He gave up when he failed and felt that he couldn't afford to offend Teacher Fang.

Hu Yong looked at him and said, "Fortunately, it seems that Teacher Fang doesn't hold a grudge against you." Otherwise, I don't think you would be his match in either literary or martial arts.

Zhu Dahai let out a breath and said nothing.

He actually noticed something, but Fang Mingche was too lazy to argue with him. Besides, the oldest child in the Fang family was less than five years old, and the youngest was just a hundred days old. As long as he didn't mess with his family, Fang Mingche shouldn't be a problem.

Besides, didn’t I help out when Fang Mingche’s wheel was stolen and his son was frightened last time? Of course, it was Fang Mingche who invited his family to watch TV with everyone in May. So, he really wanted to resolve the conflict with me.

Zhu Dahai can earn money ten months a year, about 6,000 to 7,000 yuan. There are off-seasons and peak seasons, and there are two months of extreme weather.

During those two months, people in the capital could only eat stored cabbage to survive the winter. The vegetable business was impossible, and the hens were too cold to lay eggs.

As for Liu Qingfeng, who took over his position at the scrap yard, he is said to earn 4,000 yuan a year. However, from September last year to now, the scrap yard's business has been on an upward trend. Moreover, he really doesn't have to worry so much, and he has to go transport vegetables before dawn.

Liu Qingfeng always had Fang Mingche to point out the general direction for him. No matter what happened, there was someone to take care of it! The key point was that maybe in another year or two, he would surpass himself.

The scrap business seems to have a high ceiling, and Liu Qingfeng can get a commission. Well, Gengshan is almost the same now. But I heard that Liu Qingfeng will soon be in charge of two stores and get a share of the profits from the two stores. Fang Mingche is ready to let Liu Qingfeng do the management.

Forget it, no need to compare. His income is still good now, he can become a millionaire in two years. Besides, he can't go back.

Fang Mingche asked Wang Dexian to find out what the current situation of Qin Mu and Cao Ze was in their family.

That Sunday, Wang Dexian came to visit his mother, stepfather and sister.

He also told Fang Mingche, "It seems Cao Ze was sent to the northwest to plant trees. My third brother told Brother Qin about his casual display of a gun. Brother Qin carefully investigated his previous behaviors. The Qin and Cao families believed that he would likely bring trouble to the family in the future. So they sent him to an uncle who was training in the northwest to let him keep an eye on him. This is to prevent him from causing any trouble in the capital. With someone watching him nearby, nothing should happen in the northwest. As for Qin Mu, I heard that he was scolded. But since he was not the one who displayed the gun, he was just acting as a middleman, so he continued to manage the Cantonese restaurant."

Fang Mingche said, "There are more and more private restaurants nowadays, and the quality of some of the food is very good. I plan to introduce a few more as alternatives. Only with competition can there be progress."

It is not good to directly cut off the business with the Cantonese restaurant managed by Qin Mu, but we can introduce a few more restaurants to reduce the cooperation with him. In this way, the economic interests of the travel agency will not be damaged.

However, as long as the Qin family is in power, the business of the Cantonese restaurant should be good. They mainly accept orders with public funds.

Wang Dexian said, "Sure, we should talk business. And it's good to give tourists more choices. Tsk, those century-old restaurants are so arrogant, it's like we're begging them to reserve seats. We can also cooperate with more private restaurants. As long as the hygiene, taste, and environment are acceptable, it's fine."

He was not involved in the specific matters, but he had heard the tour guides complain.

The Qin family actually didn't lose much money by having more alternative private restaurants for tourists in the tour group to choose from. What they valued before was the reputation of earning foreign exchange. But in fact, the foreign exchange they had was really not much, and it was just convenient to exchange it for foreign exchange coupons to buy things that required foreign exchange.

It's not like they're cut off now, they're also making their selections based on tourists' feedback and wishes. The Wang family can't be completely indifferent.

Fang Mingche smiled, "The century-old store has regained its vitality, it is well-known and in great demand. Even foreign gluttons often come here because of its reputation, and they don't rely on us. It's just like the state-owned factories and shops, they don't have to worry about business."

If we don't ask for anything, how can others be polite to us?

Wang Dexian shook his head. "I don't think this situation will last long. If we really want to support state-owned enterprises as before, we won't encourage individual businesses. Haven't you always held this view and said that we won't lose to CITS?"

"Yes, that's what I think. Otherwise, why are we still struggling? When CITS resumes normal operations, we can just surrender. By the way, let me tell you something."

"what?"

Fang Mingche said: "As for our dividends, we will start distributing them from October 10th, in four installments and pay them together with the employees' salaries."

Nowadays, there is no policy that allows year-end bonuses to be taxed at a 12% rate, so you can only split it yourself.

Otherwise, if he receives a lump sum of 1385 yuan in dividends at the beginning of next year, he will have to pay 85 yuan even if the tax is tiered! If you break it down this way, 340 yuan a month means yuan in taxes a month. In total, he only needs to pay yuan in taxes for four months, saving more than yuan.

The scrap yard had not yet obtained a business license, and taxes had not yet been collected. The money was directly in his personal bank account.

When the tax is levied, I will put it aside for now and use it to buy cars and office buildings. When there is no limit on the number of employees, I can expand my business. I still need administrative staff, so I need offices.

Wang Dexian quickly understood Fang Mingche's intention, "Then my old man's one-time payment is 750. Sure, with his original salary and welfare allowances, it's just over a thousand. The part to be taxed is more than 200. With a 5% tax rate, it's more than ten yuan. But, then I can only pay 250 at a time, right?"

Since he can receive dividends from the travel agency continuously, he must have studied the "Individual Income Tax Law". With this split, he doesn't have to pay taxes, which is good. But 250, it doesn't sound good.

Fang Mingche smiled, "You didn't receive the full amount, so we have to deduct the part we paid for you. Next time we distribute dividends, it shouldn't be 2400. Well, next year we will try to distribute it monthly. Let's try to get a month. We have to experience the fun of making money!"

This split is very reasonable. Otherwise, he would have been subject to the highest tax rate of 45%. It's scary to think about it. 12000 divided, 5400 taxed! It's unbearable!

Wang Dexian laughed and said, "It would be great if I could earn 200 yuan a month."

When he is at work, he can only dress very simply, but after get off work and outside of the eight hours, he and Yangmei can live a more carefree life.

For example, I hired a black taxi to take Yangmei to and from get off work. Being a doctor is really hard! It would be good for her to have some rest while going to and from get off work. Otherwise, I would complain to him about not being able to go to Japan for fun.

Wang Dexian thought for a moment and said, "Then why don't you just distribute all this year's dividends before New Year's Day?"

"I'm going to buy three commercial vehicles soon. The initial installation fee for the phone is 5000, which means 11 yuan! Do you think there will be extra money in the account before New Year's Day? I have to keep some money for emergencies."

Wang Dexian couldn't help but sigh. The commercial vehicle was indeed too expensive. Most of the money he earned was spent on it!
But after this purchase, they will have four commercial vehicles, worth 14 yuan! In addition, Xiao Fang said he would buy houses, office buildings and storefronts in Tokyo and London, so the proportion of fixed assets is very high.

Fang Mingche said: "The growth trend should be very good. The key is that in foreign countries, you can make a down payment and then make monthly payments. The monthly payment can almost offset the rent. If the price increases in the future, the monthly payment may even be lower than the rent."

Houses in London have 999-year property rights, while houses in Japan have permanent property rights. Of course, property taxes must be paid. But at this point in time, it is definitely more cost-effective to buy.

Wait until 1991 before the Japanese economy collapses and then sell the property in Tokyo for a high price. Anyway, it will drop by more than 60% in a year, so just buy it back. London's economy did not collapse like this in the next or years, so it is worth holding for a long time.

Wang Dexian nodded, "Yes, it is indeed better to buy than to rent."

He also wanted to tell his third brother about the down payment and monthly installments. They also said that this way, buying is more cost-effective than renting.

I heard that this is how people buy properties in foreign countries and Hong Kong. Only in China, you have to pay in full at one time.

Oh, he also has to save half of his dividends, and only take them out when he gets his share of the house. His father probably won't give him any more money, and by then it will probably be time for his youngest son to spend money.

The last time we held his wedding, his stepmother was really dissatisfied!
They said he had more money than the couple combined. Not only did they not show any filial piety, but they also had to pay money for their grown-up son. His father had been influenced by her so much, so it was inevitable that he would have some complaints.

When the dividends were distributed, he should show some appreciation. He told his father that he didn't need to pay attention to his stepmother and the little one.

After the two men finished discussing profit distribution, they moved on to talk about personnel matters.

The travel agency office is gradually increasing its staff. Fang Mingche no longer interviews ordinary staff in person. Lingzi, the office director, is still working as a human resources manager, and there is no division of responsibilities for the time being. It's just a makeshift team, why divide it into so many small parts? It would save some manpower costs.

The three people working illegally in Tokyo have not yet made up their minds to come back. Don't worry, even if one of them doesn't come back, we can buy a car for the Japanese group after the National Day holiday so that we won't be without a tour guide. It's okay if they are incompetent, as long as they can communicate.

After the Hundred Days Banquet, Fang Mingche discussed with Wei You the plan to send him to London for two years.

"You make your own choice. Just tell me your decision before school starts."

If she can apply for a visa in early September, she should be able to go there after the National Day holiday. Qiu Yin said that for the time being, she could hire local Chinese students to work part-time.

Wei You must be in a dilemma. He had finally been admitted to a technical secondary school and was definitely planning to study. But being able to work in the UK was such a rare opportunity! For ordinary people nowadays, going abroad is almost impossible in their lifetime.

He went back to discuss this with his parents, who looked at each other in bewilderment. This was beyond their understanding.

Uncle Wei went to ask Lin's father again.

Father Lin thought for a long time and said, "If he doesn't get into the technical secondary school, it would be great if he could go to London to work as an overseas clerk. I heard that the starting salary is 850. With commission, it's probably over a thousand."

What does over a thousand mean? A worker with a few years of work experience in a large state-owned factory in the capital has to work for two years!
He must have heard Han Mei's complaints at home. But no matter how much money they had, their family would definitely not let their daughter-in-law go out after being married for less than a year.

Yes, he also knew that the problem was actually with his son. Lin Yi was not ambitious, so they were worried that Han Mei would go out and see the world, and if she had the chance, she would leave the travel agency and the Lin family's control. But everyone has selfish motives, and it is impossible for him to support his daughter-in-law without considering the gains and losses, right? He was not stupid.

Uncle Wei was not surprised how he knew the starting salary in London. After all, the travel agency was opened by the son-in-law, and Wei You could go to the travel agency whenever he wanted, thanks to this relationship. Although in the final analysis, it was because he was a high school student and worked steadily. But at least it was a stepping stone!

"Who says it's not? If you've passed the entrance exam to a technical college, you won't have to hesitate." Comparing technical college with being posted abroad in London, it's really hard to choose between them.

Father Lin did not dare to make any rash suggestions when it came to his child's future. He was afraid that if he made a mistake, he would be blamed in the future. It was almost human instinct to vent anger on others. No matter how close someone was, one should be cautious when giving advice.

Han Mei felt a little sour when she knew about this. But she was gradually accepting the reality. As long as she was the daughter-in-law of the Lin family, she probably wouldn't have the chance to be stationed abroad. It was not bad to be given the position of future office director. I heard that Lingzi got more than 200 in August! It was equivalent to Lin Yi's income for half a year.

Finally, Wei You considered again and again and decided to go to technical secondary school. The opportunity to be stationed abroad is rare, but after he finishes his studies, he will still have the opportunity to apply for a job at a travel agency. Brother-in-law Fang actually values academic qualifications when hiring people.

If there is no high school education threshold, it would be easier for travel agencies to recruit people. Nowadays, there are gradually rumors that travel agencies pay well.

When people asked again, they found out that the office was in the Overseas Chinese Apartment. It immediately became credible!

So in the end, it was Fei Ming who submitted all kinds of supporting documents to Lingzi in early September to apply for a visa to the UK.

Fei Ming was a high school graduate recruited before. But like Han Mei, his score was far from the passing line, so he gave up. Now that he can go to London to make a lot of money and improve his English, he definitely said he would go without any hesitation.

Lingzi entrusted Han Mei with the task of applying for Fei Ming's visa and told her the location, process and required supporting documents.

"You can try it. If we really open overseas travel routes in the future, we will have to apply for visas for domestic tourists. Practice first!"

Han Mei nodded, "Okay."

"Also, put the installation of the telephone and the move of the current one back to my house on your calendar. Teacher Fang requires this transition to be completed before National Day."

Han Mei lowered her head and wrote it down on the to-do list.

"There is another good job. Teacher Fang asked us to find more private restaurants near tourist attractions for cooperation. We may need to do food tasting later. You can go by yourself."

Maybe some restaurants would let Han Mei bring her family to increase her chances of being selected. It's not a big deal, even if she brings Lin Yi, her parents-in-law, her parents, and her brothers, they won't eat much. But it makes the travel agency look bad and damages its reputation.

Han Mei nodded. This is really a good job! It is even better than Zhu Bajie, the altar purifier.

Lingzi lowered her voice and said, "Teacher Fang is a person who is very serious about financial matters. If someone gives you a red envelope, don't accept it. We can get a lot of money on a daily basis."

As long as the people in the travel agencies can survive the first one or two months, they can earn a lot of money. The tour guides and drivers receive commissions from tourists’ purchases and meals, and the administrative staff also receive commissions from selling handicrafts in Tokyo and London.

Han Mei nodded, "Okay, I won't lose the big picture for the small. Thank you Director Zhou for your advice!"

Lingzi smiled and said, "Actually, you are relatives, and you must be the one who knows what's going on. I'm just in this position, so it's useless for me to remind you." If something happens, just don't say I didn't remind you.

Han Mei has been working in the travel agency for more than three months, and she knows very well that what she said is the truth. My brother-in-law has emphasized more than once that financial issues are no small matter! Travel agencies are high-paying and honest, so don't stretch your hands when you shouldn't!

Han Mei went downstairs and rode Lin Yan's ladies' bicycle to do some work. After Lin Yan became pregnant, the bicycle was rarely used, and now it became a special vehicle for administrative staff to go out to do things.

After all, the pickup truck was not usually in the office of the Overseas Chinese Apartment. Besides, it was a truck from the scrap yard, and was only lent to travel agencies for occasional delivery to the docks and airports.

Lingzi exhaled. She was actually very optimistic about Han Mei as the successor. Otherwise, she wouldn't have mentioned so much. She just didn't know when the American office would be opened. For various reasons, she wanted to go there as soon as possible.

Gao Xiang didn't have classes today, so he was in the small office. There were more and more financial matters these days, especially the issue of dividends for everyone. He came here with the business car in the morning. When he wasn't in class, he was basically in the office.

Well, Xiao Xie is here too. She is still a new employee in the office, working part-time as a handyman. Her education level is really too low. If it weren't for Gao Xiang, she wouldn't have been able to get in.

So after get off work, Xiao Xie had to go to a night school near the compound to take extra classes. This degree is recognized by the country, not to mention travel agencies.

Gao Xiang had to take care of his studies, the financial affairs of the travel agency and the scrap yard, and learn more financial knowledge on his own. He really didn't have the energy to tutor her. So paying for night school was the best option.

Today's night schools are very formal, and the teachers who teach the students are from universities.

Lingzi knocked on the door and entered the small office. "Teacher Gao, are you busy?"

Gao Xiang stopped what he was doing, pushed up his glasses and asked, "What do you want from me?"

What could the office director ask a financial manager like him for? Lingzi sat down on the chair in front of him. "I want to ask privately, how long will it take to earn back the cost of opening an office in the UK? I don't mean anything else, I just want to know when an office can be opened in the United States."

Yingzi has been gone for several months, and I don't know how she is doing. Well, Yingzi hasn't sent back a penny!
Her father must have been furious. But he was really far away and couldn't do anything to Yingzi. He could only scold Yingzi for being unfilial and having no conscience.

Besides, he also hoped that when Yingzi became qualified in the future, she would send him out to enjoy life as well.

Her father let her borrow some of the photos that Teacher Fang and Yanyan took in Tokyo. The tall buildings and the scenes of eating, drinking and having fun made her parents very jealous.

They heard from their great uncle that as long as they could become naturalized citizens, the unemployment benefits in the United States would be very high. Many people who received unemployment benefits also lived in small villas and drove cars.

Yingzi didn't send a penny back. Lingzi felt that she could feel at ease if she paid 20 yuan a month for food and 10 yuan on top of that. Her parents and brother were very unhappy about these two things, but Yingzi had already flown away. She had also proved that she could leave her family and live alone. So they couldn't be tough on her anymore.

But you don't have to be tough, you can also use the route of soft grinding and hard blistering, and water dripping through the stone. Lingzi is a little overwhelmed!
Moreover, Lingzi actually had some aspirations to go to the United States. After all, her parents had been brainwashing her about this since her great-uncle came back.

In addition, Lin Yan felt that Lingzi had developed a crush on Fang Mingche out of admiration but was unaware of it, but in fact, she had some idea in her mind. She also knew that she had no chance at all. In this case, she might as well go out and try her luck while she was still young.

Since the time spent stationed abroad is not long, I will just follow the path that Teacher Fang had carefully planned for himself, which is to go abroad for three to five years, save some money and come back to buy a house and rent it out, or keep the foreign currency for appreciation.

Lingzi really valued Fang Mingche's advice. She also valued the things he gave her. She carefully kept the entire sheet of 80 golden monkey stamps and didn't use any of them.

Gao Xiang closed the account book in front of him and said, "We are actually taking a big step now. This is mainly because China Travel has gradually recovered. We must gain a firm foothold before they accept large-scale foreign tour groups. But in the current tight economic situation, we definitely cannot expand on a large scale. I guess the goal this year is to buy a car and consolidate the business of the two existing overseas offices."

I originally went abroad to attract customers, but now I have really put the cart before the horse and went abroad to sell handicrafts. This is the only way to make money. Not only can I be self-sufficient, but I can also earn commissions from my colleagues in China every month.

There are some customers who have been brought back, but the number is very small. So at present, we have to pick up the few tourists who have signed contracts abroad, and we still have to go to the airport to attract customers.

Tourists who have signed contracts abroad will have certain discounts. This is also to expand the influence. In the future, there is no need to go to the airport to solicit customers. You can just pick up tourists who have signed contracts to form a group. Only then can the step of going overseas be considered stable.

It is definitely not easy to take food from China Travel. Every step must be taken carefully! It is very expensive to open an office in New York, USA. It is definitely not in the plan in the short term.

Reiko nodded, "I understand."

Gao Xiang said: "Why don't you ask Teacher Fang?"

He and Lingzi were actually on the same level, and even had the same salary level as the English and Japanese team leaders. It was just that their commissions were based on the performance of the two teams. However, the commission rates of the three team leaders under him were higher than theirs. So when everyone added it up, they got about the same amount.

"I'll just ask privately. There's no need to ask Teacher Fang specifically."

Reiko smiled, stood up and walked out.

Outside, Xiao Xie was mopping the floor. Since they didn't hire a special cleaner, the last person to come in was the one doing the work. Xiao Xie came later than the previous recruits and had the lowest education level. She took over the broom and mop very consciously, and didn't want to enjoy any special privileges because her husband was the financial manager.

The house in this Overseas Chinese Apartment was usually quite clean. Although the toilet was a squat toilet, it was flushed away by pulling the cord, so it was not dirty. Therefore, cleaning for two or three months after starting work was not hard. Anyway, I had to go through this step.

However, Lingzi said that the first batch of people had just joined the company and it was not reasonable for them to leave the labor so soon. She asked them to take turns with Xiao Xie.

There were only three of them left in the office at the moment, as the newly recruited staff had gone to help out at the tourist attractions. Usually Xiao Xie would go with them, so they asked Lao He to take them there in advance. Today it was her turn to clean, so she was in the office.

After Xiao Xie finished cleaning the outside, he went in to clean the small office.

She cleaned up Fang Mingche's desk first, then whispered, "Lingzi."

Gao Xiang looked over and asked, "What do you want to say?"

He was actually a little bit surprised just now. He felt that Lingzi seemed to be avoiding more contact with Xiaofang, and she seemed to be very anxious to be sent to the United States.

Xiao Xie put the documents and books on the table, aligned them, and put them in the corner of the desk. This made the desk look much tidier.

"Reiko, the other teacher seems a little different."

Xiao Xie didn't doubt why Lingzi came in to see Gao Xiang. She had already noticed that Lingzi's eyes were particularly bright when she looked at Fang Mingche.

Gao Xiang saw that she and he were thinking the same thing. So he said, "She didn't intend to do anything. It's best to leave this kind of thing alone. Besides, we're just working. What are we talking about?"

Xiao Xie rolled his eyes at him, lowered his head and continued to work silently.

The introduction of the New Marriage Law also stuck them in the family planning timeline. Gao Xiang is a college student and still receives living allowance from his former school. This meant that they could only have one child.

When Mother Gao heard Grandpa Gu laughing in the courtyard, she sighed on the hospital bed.

She sighed that she had suddenly fallen ill a few years ago, otherwise her son would have been married a few years ago. If things had gone their own way, she might have had more than one grandson or granddaughter. She could only have one child in the future, and if it was a granddaughter, she would have a hard time explaining it to her old man in the afterlife.

In the afternoon, Fang Mingche went home after two classes. He looked around and said, "Yanyan hasn't come back yet?"

Yanyan has to attend an extracurricular talent class from Monday to Saturday this semester. So I hired Master He's car to take her there after her Yuhong class and pick her up after the talent class at the Children's Palace.

If there is an order from a guest at the Children's Palace during the trip, and he has enough time, Master He will go there. He won't go to other places. Maybe today's order is too far, so he asked his daughter to wait for him after class at the Children's Palace? He came back on his bicycle.

The Yuhong class finishes school early in the afternoon!
If this happens too often, you can just find a nearby black master to take over. Nowadays, there are more and more people playing black games. There is a lot of room for development in this industry!

Lin Yan said, "It should be okay for her to wait in the Children's Palace for a while, right? Besides, there are comic books there that she can read."

You are so familiar with each other, but you can't even give the master a little leniency?

"Just wait for a while at first. If we don't respond, Yanyan might have to wait longer in the future. We haven't reserved all of her time, so we can't let her wait outside until Yanyan finishes class. But we can't always let Yanyan wait for him. If this kind of waiting happens too often, you can ask around to see if there are any familiar masters nearby who can take her back. When he hears the news, he'll naturally know to hold back. Also, if we really split into two masters, it will be easier for them to arrange their time."

It’s just that Master He may not be able to guarantee that every time he sends Yanyan away, he will be able to get orders when he goes out to take other orders.

Lin Yan thought about it and nodded. Okay, let's nip it in the bud.

Lin Daiyu confronted Zhou Ruijia because of the two palace beauties, wasn't it to prevent the problem from happening? Otherwise, after a long time, the servants of the Jia family, who were rich and noble, would look down on her and bully her like they did to Yingchun. Can she still ask the old lady for help in everything?
Actually, it was not a big deal. In order to avoid walking, Zhou Ruijia changed Aunt Xue's order and gave the last one to Lin Daiyu. Aunt Xue originally wanted to give the last one to Fengjie, giving her four. Although she had no choice, the number was large.

Zhou Ruijia gave Daiyu the last one, which was not in accordance with etiquette! At that time, Lin Ruhai was still alive and Daiyu was a guest. If she was a guest, she should be given the first one; if she was a family member, she should be given the first one according to age. In any case, she should not be given the remaining two last.

This is not petty, it is against etiquette, and we should resist. If we don't react, others will take advantage of us.

Lin Yan held Fang Chang upright after he finished feeding, and gently patted the milk from his neck to his back to prevent him from spitting up the milk. When she tried to hold him horizontally again, the little guy refused and protested with a whimper.

Lin Yan simply handed it to Fang Mingche who had washed his hands, "Go to your dad and let him hold you."

She has been taking care of the baby for most of the day and wants the father to hug her too.

Fang Mingche had already finished his homework at school and took it over immediately.

"Oh, Changchang likes to be held upright, so let's do that. The doctor said you are three months old and can be held upright. Come on, let's go out and see why your sister hasn't come back yet." Fang Mingche said in a soft voice.

Changchang also likes to go out. When his father carried him to the gate of the small side yard and watched his sister go home, he also looked out.

Yanyan did wait for Master He for more than ten minutes today. However, she did not go to the reading room of the Children's Palace to read books. Instead, she took out a copy of "Doraemon" that she brought with her and started reading.

The kids dancing together came over to take a look and said, "Fang Shuyan, what are you looking at? These characters are twisting and turning like earthworms."

Yanyan said: "Oh, this is Japanese, it's different from Chinese."

"You know Japanese?"

Yanyan thought about it for a while. Her father told her not to show off in front of other kids. So she said, "Just guess and look at the pictures, and you'll know the general idea."

She has a small notebook that she uses to memorize Japanese words she doesn't recognize, and then she looks up the meaning and pronunciation in the dictionary.

This comic book is a bit expensive, and she bought it with foreign currency. She was reluctant to write on it.

"How come you have Japanese comic books?"

"Oh, my uncle brought this back to me when he was traveling in Tokyo. It's not in Chinese, but it's quite interesting to read."

The child followed her to read for a while, but couldn't quite understand it, but it seemed fresher and more interesting than the comic book. Yanyan explained it to her.

The children were stunned by what they heard because they had never seen this kind of comics.

"Yanyan——" Master He appeared at the door.

Yanyan put away the comic book and said, "Du Xinran, Uncle He is here to pick me up. Goodbye—"

"goodbye--"

After returning home, Yanyan handed Lin Yan a piece of food taboos for dancers written by the teacher. She had tried the class for the past two weeks and had decided to continue dancing. The teacher also liked it, so the teacher asked her to bring it back to her mother today.

Yanyan didn't know most of the words and was too lazy to look them up in the dictionary. She just handed them to her mother when she got home.

Lin Yan took it and took a look. Sweets, snacks, barbecue, raw and cold vegetables, fruit juice and soda, milk chocolate, well, the teacher also said that white chocolate cannot be eaten, but dark chocolate can be eaten a little.

She read it to Yanyan and then said, "Who would feed their children raw and cold vegetables?" We only eat our vegetables after they are cooked.

Yanyan said: "Vegetable salad is raw."

But, she can’t eat this or that? She likes to eat mutton skewers, snacks, and drink Arctic Ocean soda.
A conflicted look suddenly appeared on Yanyan's face.

Lin Yan said: "Think carefully whether you want to continue learning dancing. If you want to learn, you must strictly abide by these."

Seeing her daughter struggling, Lin Yan asked again, "It seems like you want to continue learning. Why do you want to learn?"

It's impossible that a little girl of four or five years old has already fallen in love with dancing?
Yanyan said: "Dad said that if I learn to dance, I can have a straight posture and outstanding temperament like my dance teacher."

She couldn't describe the dancing teacher at the Children's Palace, but she thought it would be great if she could grow up like that.

After hearing this, Lin Yan turned around and looked at Fang Mingche who was playing with his little son.

Fang Mingche looked at his daughter and said, "You are cheating me again!"

The dance teacher was indeed outstanding. Everyone loves beauty, and when he saw someone coming, he stretched his neck in unison with the male parents next to him.

Lin Yan said: "Mingche, why don't you just stop bothering Master Duohe in the future. When you don't have classes in the afternoon and can go by yourself, just go by yourself."

Yanyan said: "Two dance classes. Dad has classes in the afternoon."

Lin Yan nodded meaningfully, "Oh, so that's it." Otherwise, she would have driven there herself.

Fang Mingche didn't say anything. Explanation was just covering up, which would only make things worse. Besides, what could he say in front of his daughter?
He said, "Yanyan, if you want to be respected in front of others, you have to suffer behind their backs. After two trial classes, you will have to pay the official tuition if you want to continue. Of course, tuition is secondary, but once you have made a decision, don't give up halfway. Think about it, can you bear not to eat those things?"

Yanyan said with a sad face: "I may not be able to help it." But she really looked like she would grow up to be a dance teacher.

Lin Yan said: "If you decide to learn, mom can help you give up those foods."

"let me see."

"What are you thinking about?" Lin Yi, pushing a bicycle, appeared at the gate of the small courtyard.

He came to deliver the fish. Father Lin didn't have to go to work in the afternoon. He went fishing with his friends and had a good catch, so he sent him to deliver some.

After figuring out what his niece was struggling with, Lin Yi sat down and ate an apple and said, "Yanyan, why do you want to learn dancing? I heard it's very hard."

Yanyan said: "I want to be pleasing to the eye."

My father also said this idiom.

Lin Yan also thought so, so she looked at Fang Mingche again.

Lin Yi said: "You work so hard, but you can't see it unless you look in the mirror. Can people look in the mirror all the time? If you ask your uncle, it's not worth it to work hard for others to enjoy it!"

Fang Mingche looked at his brother-in-law, you always look at things from different angles.

He looked at his daughter and asked, "Do you want to learn to be as lazy as your uncle?" Actually, it's not impossible. He can definitely earn a huge fortune for his children. As long as they don't start a business recklessly in the future, they should not fall back into poverty.

But, did the prosperous 80 years starting from the s just go by like this?

Yanyan was obviously confused by her uncle's twisted logic. She looked confused, is this true?
Lin Yan raised her hand and slapped Lin Yi on the back, "Don't teach me nonsense! Yanyan, do you like dancing? Dancing can indeed make you slim and graceful. But it is also hard work. Just not being able to eat so much is hard enough."

Yanyan stretched out her finger and compared, "What will happen if I eat a little bit?"

Fang Mingche said: "Then you should dance more or do more exercise to burn off the calories."

Yanyan was relieved after hearing this. That was it! She thought she couldn't continue dancing.

"Yes, I jump."
