1977: It all started with a wrong love

Chapter 68 Brother-in-law’s Arrangements

My brother-in-law Xu Erhe was naturally not suitable and also lived in the art troupe's guesthouse.

Even if Lu Yifan was really shameless enough to do that, Captain Shi would not say anything at all, and might even make some more detailed and thoughtful arrangements.

But there are some things that we need to have some idea in our own hearts.

Besides, considering my brother-in-law Xu Erhe's current condition, he was really arranged to stay in the guesthouse of the General Political Department Art Troupe.

Not to mention whether you can adapt to it as soon as possible.

I’m afraid people will be scared to death, shrinking their heads all day long, and becoming more and more listless.

Money is the courage of heroes.

If a man's self-esteem and dignity are completely shattered from the very beginning, it would be extremely difficult to put them back together again.

My brother-in-law is now living a very humble and self-ashamed life.

Especially now that he had just arrived in Beijing from his rural hometown to join his famous brother-in-law.

The little bit of self-esteem that is left can be easily shattered with one blow.

A man in this mental state.

Don’t even mention trying to help him do some big thing.

I am afraid that once my self-esteem is completely crushed, I will become a spineless, weak and servile person.

In the future, in just three to five years, it will be a super hot era.

My brother-in-law Xu Erhe is ambitious, motivated, and has the courage to try new things. For the sake of his wife and children, and to avoid being scolded as a waste by his sister, he went to learn how to collect gold in the countryside and brought gold and silver jewelry from the mainland to the south...

Under such a serious situation.

What my brother-in-law wants to do is really like playing with his head. He has some brains, but he is extremely irrational and is blinded by greed.

Why did you decide to bring Xu Erhe to Beijing?
The root cause, of course, is that she doesn't want to see her eldest sister's family broken up, become a widow at a young age, and be dragged down by the bad reputation of her dead man.

If he has enough ability, he would like to help his relatives.

Then, although my brother-in-law Xu Erhe has a bad reputation in the village and is a lazy and unmotivated scoundrel, he is not a bad person. He did not ruin our family's life by drinking, gambling and smoking. It's just that he had a serious illness and his body was half disabled and he could not do heavy physical labor.

In the countryside, during the era of production teams and collective communes, this meant being seen as a loser by others.

For a grown man to fall into such a state, isn't that just giving up on himself?

In order not to drag down his eldest sister and children, this guy has been clamoring for a divorce with his eldest sister over the past few years to give his eldest sister and two sons relief.

Based on this point alone, his character cannot be bad.

Therefore, in Lu Yifan's concept, he went to Beijing to attend university, but he also wanted to bring his brother-in-law Xu Erhe to Beijing as well. He was trying to give a seemingly ordinary farmer the opportunity to move to the city. In the context of the upcoming great era, he would like to see what kind of waves his brother-in-law Xu Erhe could create.

After all, he is part of the family.

In the great era of the future, he is looking forward to whether, under his subtle guidance, the future of all the family members who used to work hard in the fields can be brought to a flying height...

……

Director Wei from the creative studio also came to the train station to pick people up.

Lu Yifan is now in the art troupe, and is closest to Director Wei. This time he called him to help out because he actually has a favor to ask.

After some warm greetings.

The three of them got into the car.

Soon, they arrived at a street just two stops away from the art troupe compound.

The name of the neighborhood is Nanluoguxiang, which is located in the inner ring of Beijing. It is not far from Haizili. In the near future, it will be a super location where every inch of land will be worth a lot of money.

He relied on Director Wei's local connections.

I rented a 20-square-meter room for my brother-in-law in a large courtyard in this neighborhood as his temporary residence.

Without further ado, after settling down.

Director Wei left.

He started chatting with his brother-in-law Xu Erhe.

In fact, he was the one who mainly talked, and Xu Erhe was highly focused and listened carefully to his arrangements.

Xu Erhe is still completely confused and has no idea what big business his brother-in-law can accomplish by bringing him to the capital.

Of course, years ago, if my brother-in-law was still the top scholar in the imperial examination in Beijing.

His doubts will grow, and his inner tension and anxiety will grow.

After all, he has some idea of ​​his own weight and what kind of person he is, and he must be extremely worried that he will not be able to make a living in the capital.

That is not the case today.

My brother-in-law’s monstrous reputation.

He was a great man who could negotiate a huge military trade order with foreigners for 20 army divisions. Therefore, he had no doubt that his brother-in-law could really lead him to success, help him build a big career in Beijing, and earn enough money for his family...

From the moment I said goodbye to my relatives and friends and boarded the train from my hometown.

He repeatedly reassured himself that after arriving in the capital, he would obey his brother-in-law's orders 100% and unconditionally, and would do whatever his brother-in-law asked him to do.

Anyway, my brother-in-law won’t harm me!

Anyway, my brother-in-law will definitely be able to lead me!

It is enough to trust your brother-in-law.

Lu Yifan had naturally already noticed his brother-in-law Xu Erhe's mental state.

There was no point in talking about any great principles, and he was too lazy to waste his breath, so at this moment, he got straight to the point and assigned a task to his brother-in-law Xu Erhe:

"Next, brother-in-law, you have to grit your teeth and work hard to improve yourself. I'll give you three months to master this set of 900 English spoken sentences..."

Xu Erhe: “???”

What are you talking about, brother-in-law?

You want me, your brother-in-law, a farmer who didn't even have time to graduate from elementary school, to teach myself 900 sentences of spoken English?
This is a bit too much of an overestimate of me, your brother-in-law!

Besides, I am just a country farmer who came to Beijing. Why should I learn spoken English?

Could it be that we are asked to deal with enemy spies...

"Didn't you understand? Xu Erhe??"

"Uh, no, Fanwa, I'm just a farmer who came to the city. You can ask me to do anything else, even if you can find me a job as a manure collector in the city. As long as I can make money, I'm really not afraid of hard work or fatigue. But Fanwa, you asked me to learn English..."

"Look at your lack of ability. If you really want to dig manure, aren't there enough government agencies in your hometown to help you?
Don't talk nonsense to me. In three months, I just learned 900 sentences of foreign language, which means I only learned 10 sentences a day on average.

If you can't even do this.

I'm going to look down on you through the crack in the door, and you'll never have any chance to make a name for yourself in your life!

3 foreign sentences in 900 months.

Booklets with Chinese phonetic symbols have been compiled for you.

There is no room for negotiation on this matter. If you can’t do it, I will whip you to death!”

Lu Yifan had a dark face and gave the final order in a bad tone.

The self-compiled booklet of 900 English sentences with Chinese phonetic notation was naturally the result of his private work in the art troupe during the past few days.

He imitated the tactics of a certain Crazy English expert Li in his previous life.

I saved up this magic tool for learning and practicing spoken English in advance.

As for why I forced my brother-in-law Xu Erhe, let’s start with these 900 English Speaking Sentences.

Instead of inspiring him, for example, he could ride a donkey tricycle upside down and walk around the streets collecting junk, especially electrical appliances like second-hand radios, which he could buy at super low prices and refurbish and resell. If he was lucky, he could even pick up some antiques, such as porcelain or utensils, and resell them for huge profits...

No need!
It doesn't make any sense!
This moment, that moment.

Years ago, when he went to the commune police station to pick up the offending Xu Erhe, he was really planning to show his brother-in-law the way to get rich.

But nowadays, I encounter a lot of things, especially after I went into the lake and witnessed the old man's style with my own eyes.

He gave up the idea.

In a few years, the spring breeze of reform and opening up will blow and a new era will arrive.

That will truly be the great era of picking up gold and garbage everywhere.

My brother-in-law Xu Erhe already showed some dangerous signs of walking on the edge of the gray area.

This needs to be directed to him. He plunges into the gray area of ​​profiteering and even making a lot of money without conscience, and turns himself into a nouveau riche with money but no moral integrity. It will be really difficult to pull him out at that time! ~~
Therefore, he forced his brother-in-law Xu Erhe to learn new knowledge, arm his mind with knowledge, and improve his understanding of the realm of life.

From the very beginning, choose the most glorious and upright road to make the cleanest and most comfortable money.

Isn't this arrangement ten thousand times better than being a nouveau riche?

Also, if we can really force Xu Erhe, he will quickly master the ability to communicate in a foreign language.

This is equivalent to a shortcut that can directly bypass his starting point of a poor academic record of not even graduating from elementary school and quickly enhance his self-confidence.

What kind of talents were most sought after in the early days of reform and opening up?

Foreign trade talents who are proficient in foreign languages ​​and can deal directly with foreigners.

Anyway, the general direction should be determined first.

What specific business do you want to do to make money in the future?

There is really no need to rush for the present moment. You will take risks and earn no comfortable money. Sharpening the knife does not delay the chopping of wood...
