The leisurely life of rebirth

Fang Monan hung up the phone, turned around, and saw Mr. Lin standing not far away. "Ho" startled her, and she patted her chest.

"Grandpa Lin stands behind you and doesn't make a sound. It will scare people and kill them."

"You're still scared, you're talking too much, ten million dollars." Mr. Lin looked at her inscrutably.

"The emperor is not short of hungry soldiers, so of course he must comfort them." Since he heard it, Fang Monan simply admitted it, so that he could have more people to protect him.

"You are a brat, what did I hear about the Japanese stock market just now?" Mr. Lin knocked on her head. Everyone has secrets, and he also had many secrets in his heart. As long as you don't hinder others, don't worry about other people's affairs, and

He also wants to uncover the mystery himself.[

"Japan! It's okay. I just went to make some pocket money.'" Fang Monan was now letting go. There was nothing to hide now. The matter had been exposed a lot, and now he had no scruples. He simply said it openly.

.

"How can I earn some pocket money? I should earn it all." Mr. Lin said angrily.

Fang Monan looked at him as if he was no different from a bandit. In fact, not only Mr. Lin, but also almost all the elderly people of his age in the country, especially those who had been on the battlefield and fought against Japan, and even middle-aged people, were dissatisfied with Japan.

I have a very strong sense of hatred, which is engraved in my bones and dissolved in my blood. The elderly have an unforgettable hatred for the Japanese. Even in the 21st century, except for children who are ignorant,

, most people still hate Japan, but this sentiment is not often exposed.

"It's not the right time now, there will be a greater opportunity in a few years." Fang Monan said with a smile.

"Tell me more about Japan." Mr. Lin said anxiously. He was excited just thinking about making money from Japan.

"This is complicated to say, and I can't explain it clearly at the moment. If you really want to understand it thoroughly, I suggest you read more books on finance. Cheng Shigui sent a lot of these books, all of which are in English originals."

Fang Monan said.

"That's it! I'll read the book later. You tell me something first. I also understand the basic stock market. It's just that it's been a long time, so I don't know how much I still remember." Mr. Lin was a little disappointed, but he still wanted to know the general idea as soon as possible.

.

When Fang Monan heard that he had a financial background, he said briefly: "Japan's economy has developed too fast, and there are already signs of separation from the real economy, and there are also signs of a bubble economy. The entire Japan is in a period of unprecedented prosperity.

, the Japanese government attaches more importance to real estate and virtual property than to industry and major enterprises. Although the price of real estate is very high and the stock and property markets are falsely prosperous, it is only virtual. Once the price of real estate drops or something happens,

situation, the entire Japanese economy will fall into chaos and then collapse. I believe that speculators, large and small, and even the U.S. government will not give up this opportunity by then. I will also get involved by then, and I believe that Japan’s economy will

Go back ten years." She raised the corners of her mouth and smiled.

"You are really poisonous." Mr. Lin looked at her and said, "But I like it."

"Well! It's not that I'm a poisoner, it's the US government that eats meat. I just drink some soup." Compared with the US government, she is already very kind.

Mr. Lin remained silent. The economic and financial knowledge he learned when he was young has been transferred to the Pacific Ocean. If others only think of it as big talk, he just smiles. If there is a shadow of the US government, then the possibility is much greater.

. If this country can still be the small country that once caused great losses to its people, it will be a small country. He is too late to be happy. Knowing that Fang Monan has business talent, it seems that this is just a side dish. What shocks him even more is that she

Views on finance and economics. It seems that he also has to read books on economics and finance. In the days to come, they often discussed the Japanese economy through newspapers and magazines sent to him.

After all, Mr. Lin is an aristocrat and an educated elite. He can understand it quickly, "Actually, to put it bluntly, it is caused by human greed. It is like a carrot hanging in front of a donkey. You can see it, but you can't eat it."

My aunt accidentally saw that Mr. Lin was so obsessed with finance, and she gradually became interested. However, it is not possible now. When she is sprinting hard for the college entrance examination, she must have other things on her mind. However, this also indirectly affected her choice to apply for the college entrance examination.

It seems to Monan that learning and using it are two different things. This is a personal wish and she cannot interfere.

************************

Grandma is always frowning these days, so Fang Monan asked: "Grandma, what are you thinking about? You are always frowning."

Grandma said: "My money has dropped a lot these days, and I'm wondering if I should do something else."

"Oh! Are there many people following the trend?" Fang Monan asked with raised eyebrows.

"You're not following the trend! You know the people in the county obviously have some spare money, and they all want to eat good food, such as fried pancakes, fried glutinous rice dumplings, fried cabbage corners, fried sugar cakes, fried dough sticks, etc. But many of our people were taken away.

I lost a lot of customers." Grandma muttered.

"Grandma, have you thought about how to improve it?" Fang Monan asked.[

"Nan Nan here, I have some ideas that are not perfect yet. Please tell me in detail." Grandma thought of her granddaughter's cleverness, and her eyes lit up. Seeing her nodding, she said, "Grandma, I don't have any other skills, but I am good at making pasta."

With two brushes, the scallion pancake with mung bean noodles is even better."

A flash of light flashed in Fang Monan's eyes. It seems that grandma is really focused on getting into it. She knows to start with what she is good at instead of blindly following the trend. "This is a good idea, but grandma, are you busy enough?"

"Why are you so busy? Now you, Grandma Liang, and my aunt can do the job! Except for me delivering steamed buns, selling steamed buns, and steaming steamed buns, we have everything covered." Grandma added, "I'm so busy, aren't I?

?My heart aches when I see money grow wings and fly away!"

Pancakes, Fang Monan thought of the famous snack pancakes and fruit. She explained how to make pancakes based on her grandma's pancakes. "It consists of eggs, fried dough sticks or thin crispy "fruit grates", served with pasta sauce, minced green onions,

Chili pepper (optional) is used as seasoning for a salty taste."

"That's okay! It's best to have breakfast that not only satisfies you but also provides you with sufficient nutrition." Grandma opened her hands and counted, "The market price of an egg is about 10 cents. It will definitely be cheaper if you go to Dachengzi to wholesale it. I still don't want the fried dough sticks."

, otherwise the cost will be too high, the price will be high, and it will be miserable if we can't sell it. We just spread the pancakes, and the rest of the side dishes can be homemade."

"Actually, we don't need the eggs from Dachengzi's family. The eggs in the farm are almost overflowing. If we just rely on our own food, it won't be enough." Fang Monan said. "It doesn't matter, grandma makes two kinds, the price is not the same.

Just the same will do. Two cents with fried dough sticks and one and a half cents without fried dough sticks."

"Yeah! Yeah! I'm going to prepare, prepare, and I'll try it tomorrow." Grandma said that the wind is like the rain, so just do it. "Nannan, you need me to prepare the noodles, side dishes, chili and so on."

"Yeah! Got it." Fang Monan said happily.

Once the pancake fruit came out, it was very popular! More than 50 sets were sold on the first day, and more than 40 sets of pancakes without fried dough sticks were sold. After establishing a reputation and stabilizing, it can sell an average of 100 per day.

There are so many sets! Every morning, grandma stands at the door of her house and works until nine or ten o'clock in the morning. However, the work of steaming steamed buns in the morning has to be left to Grandma Liang and my aunt, but the salary that grandma gives them

It was increased to 30 per month, and later I hired another person to pay 20 per month.

It is said that a child's face changes in many ways on a June day, like the most naughty child. One moment he is laughing and sticking out his tongue and doing weird things, another moment he is pouting and frowning to be endearing, and the next moment he is irritable and angry and furious.

I can't keep up with the beat. As soon as I said that, my face changed immediately. The sky was clear just now, but now, in a moment, dark clouds cover, and the "click" lightning flashes with white light, like waving a sharp sword;

The thunder made a rumbling sound, and I wanted to beat a drum in the sky. The sky and the earth suddenly turned from day to night.

Fang Monan and Mr. Lin had just been drinking tea and playing chess under the grape trellis. Watching the world change, they quickly packed their things and entered the house. As soon as they walked in, raindrops as big as soybeans fell one after another. "Tick, tick..."

The noise became louder and louder, "Clatter..."

The barren hills in the distance are already covered with lush fruit trees. At this time, in the rain and mist, it gives people the enjoyment of looking at flowers in the mist. The air is filled with the aroma of fruits and the freshness of earth. There is no vicissitudes of winter and autumn.

Depression, replaced by green representing life.

The face of a child in June, no matter how hurried it comes and goes, how fast it changes, when I think about it, it is the one that makes me sing the most with joy. After enjoying the coolness and comfort of early summer, I still have to bear the changes of June. Such happiness

Being separated from the moment is the real and ordinary life.

After several months of continuous renovation, the farm is no longer what it was like in the beginning. The original ten bungalows were directly added with an additional floor. Fang Monan simply decorated the six rooms on the first floor. In fact,

That is to say, a fire bed was installed, some furniture was added to the room, and some more bookshelves were installed. The second floor was for the people who stayed on the farm, mainly Fang Monan and the others who came here to escape the summer heat. Grandma and her mother stayed in the old house. Grandma

Can't leave her business behind.

The terrain here is slightly higher, far away from the crowd, and the temperature is naturally a few degrees lower than in the county town. The most important thing is that I forgot how hot it is in the summer when steaming steamed buns. So Fang Monan, Mr. Lin, my aunt, and Mobei came to live on the farm. My aunt

Riding a bicycle to school, after leaving the farm, the terrain is flat and there are few people. Her fastest speed is only twenty minutes. She will move back when the weather gets cold.

In front of the house, two grapes were moved from the space. They have climbed all over the shelf. The sunlight shines through the dense layers of branches and leaves, and the ground is covered with light spots the size of copper coins. The grapes are full, one is already the size of a peanut, and they are green.

There are stone tables and stone benches placed under the shelf, with a chess board carved on the stone table. There is also a rocking chair belonging to the old man next to the stone table. The ground is paved with cobblestones. Walk up to activate the blood vessels. The front room of the house

Later, I planted some mosquito-proof flowers and plants, and Fang Monan also made some homemade mosquito-repellent incense for my father. With the mosquito-repellent incense, I would at least not be bitten by mosquitoes at night, so I could have a good rest. My father came back and got a lot of mosquito-repellent incense and distributed it to others.

He met a road construction worker. Since the road construction began, his father has been living and eating at the construction site. Fang Monan and the others are now living a leisurely life, enjoying themselves, and naturally they can't exchange it for a thousand dollars.

Mr. Lin suggested that my aunt decide to take the college entrance examination this year. She has good academic performance and is older. She has to do a lot of exercises every day because she has to take the college entrance examination. Moreover, the teacher took the book with the sea of ​​questions she had completed and gave it to the whole class. The result was this

The first batch of students generally had good grades, and more than one-third were admitted to college. But the principal was so happy that he finally felt proud. This is something to say later.

The days flew by, and it was July in a blink of an eye. God gave me the favor, and it rained continuously during the two days when my aunt took the exam, which happened to be not too hot. Qi Qiushi even asked for leave to accompany her during the exam, but she did not dare to stand outside the examination room, firstly because she was afraid of putting pressure on her aunt.

Second, I was afraid of the negative impact, so I had to wait at home. After leaving the examination room, my aunt breathed a sigh of relief, and it was finally over. When my grandma saw her coming back, she didn't dare to ask how the examination went, and looked at her carefully, but Fang Monan noticed from her

The look on his face showed that he should have done well in the exam.

"Mom, you don't have to be so uneasy. I did well in the exam. It was very simple and I did similar exercises." My aunt said in a relaxed tone. "It's just the composition that makes me uneasy."

"Oh! Is there anything wrong with the composition (due to writing reasons, the college entrance examination composition does not match the one in 1983)?" Mr. Lin asked.

"The pros and cons of reform and opening up." The aunt's eyes were a little dim, but they recovered in the blink of an eye. Anyway, the exam was over, so it was useless to think about it so much. "I guess the impact they wrote was more positive, and what I wrote was

There are a lot of negatives. It feels really uncomfortable to contradict others." She was a little uneasy and didn't know if this was the right thing to do, so she desperately looked for answers to fill in the uncertainties in her composition.

At that time, they discussed that what the aunt said were all positive impacts, such as providing food and clothing, getting rich, integrating with international standards, etc., but the little girl Nan Nan criticized her. It turns out that there are also many negative impacts.

The side effects brought about by reform and opening up are actually not caused by reform and opening up, but by the history of China in the past two hundred years. Most people believe that good things are learned from outside and eventually become

Cheng said that as long as foreign things come from abroad, they must be good. He also stressed that they should not bargain in front of foreign investors. They are businessmen and their interests are their top priority, not philanthropists. The huge market in China makes them salivate and squeeze their heads to come.

At this stage, we are afraid that the policy will be repeated. When they have observed enough, they will flock to Diaoyutai. We must sit firmly on Diaoyutai and do not sacrifice long-term development for some immediate interests. In short, there are many. I heard my aunt nodding, so it is better not to reform.

.[

As a result, Nannan said: That's not good. Everything has two sides. For example, if you open the door to let the air flow, flies will fly in; if it is completely closed, neither flies nor fresh air can come in. Here are the "disadvantages" and "advantages"

" is directly proportional, fresh air and flies are inseparable. According to the conventional way of thinking, it seems that we can only weigh the pros and cons. And the door has to be opened, so you have to learn the skill of swatting flies and increase your own ability.

"So that's it!" Fang Monan said. He talked a lot and complained a lot at that time, and I can't even remember it now. "Auntie, don't worry, no one will know the outcome until the end. Just relax and wait.

!”

My aunt spent two weeks waiting anxiously. Mr. Lin knew her score in advance through his connections. She actually passed the admission score of Peking University, and she still had full marks in English and mathematics. But unfortunately, she was more conservative when she applied for her volunteer application.

.So her first choice is a university in the province, and her second choice is Peking University. No matter what, there is a school to study, and she is so excited that she doesn’t know what to do. The whole family is also happy around it, but only one person is a little lonely, that is the future junior.

Uncle, because the further away my aunt goes, the slimmer his chances become.

Although I haven't received the notice yet, the continuous enthusiasm in the courtyard is no less hot than the sun outside. My father rushed back as soon as he heard the news, and he was also very excited. The big city has excellent educational resources, and he can go to university.

It is much easier than in small counties in this era. At this time, most counties and rural areas are still in the literacy stage. It is commendable to have a college student in the family, even if it is not a top university.

College students during this period were assigned and their household registration was settled with their university. College students in the 1980s could each be assigned a good job after graduation. People of that era were hard-working and simple. Even high school graduates and junior high school graduates at this time

Everyone could find a job and earn money to support their families. In those days, jobs were easy to find and making money was not difficult. Only with a little economic acumen could one achieve great success and become a business elite.

Things are rare and valuable, and college students are still a scarce resource. They are a hot commodity, and workplaces are vying for them. This is not like in later generations, when college students are overpopulated and turtles are no longer popular. Unless you are from a top university in the world.

After hearing this, all the neighbors came to congratulate grandma. Unexpectedly, my uncle's family, who rarely visited the house, actually came.

My eldest aunt's only talent is that she is forgetful, so when she came in, she said congratulations. She reached out and patted her son and daughters, "Congratulations! Xiaoyan, you are admitted to college. Learn more from your sister-in-law, and give it to your mother too."

Go to college and make your mother famous." Don't hit the smiling people. No matter how much my aunt hates them, she won't say cold words to them on her big day. She nodded to her as a greeting, and now she is proud of the spring breeze.

At this moment, I don’t care about those old sesame seeds and rotten millet things, and I don’t want to affect my good mood.

"Congratulations, congratulations. Aren't you two promoted too?" the aunt said in a nonchalant manner.

These days, the uncle and his wife are having mixed feelings. They are happy that they have both been promoted in the textile factory. They are worried that their mother-in-law and sister-in-law are living a happy life, and the promotion is also due to them.

It was even more unpleasant to hear what my aunt said. In fact, it was just that they were overthinking. This may be the speaker’s intention and the listener’s intention.

Forget it, compared to those old ladies in the logistics department, Xiaoyan's words sounded nicer. Those people in the logistics department spoke even more harshly behind her back, mocking her for being shallow-sighted and trying to please her mother-in-law now, I'm afraid it's not unusual for others. Just go and please her mother-in-law now.

, they were all ashamed for her. If the factory leaders hadn't valued the power of her mother-in-law's family, it would have been their turn to take over. Forget it, I won't say more, it's worth it now, no matter what the reason is, it's thanks to the two of them.

I have been promoted and my salary has increased, so I can only comfort myself in this way.

"Haha..." They smiled awkwardly. The uncle gave the aunt 100 yuan in front of everyone. After she saw it, she glanced at the sister-in-law beside him with a hint of ridicule and said, "Have you asked the leader for instructions?"

, I wouldn’t dare to take it if it wasn’t there.”

"Look! Xiaoyan said it right. My sister-in-law doesn't have anything to give you when you go to college. This 100 yuan is just a small token of our gratitude." The aunt's face smiled as brightly as a flower, but her heart ached! This is four dollars.

One month's salary was just gone.

"Having said that, our family is not short of money now. If we want to receive this money, we should treat it as a son who honors our mother. I don't dare to take it. Don't end up with you shouting around and saying that I am young and heartless." The aunt said very rudely.

, directly name her and don’t want it.

In the end, the uncle gave the money to grandma, which was considered as one, which was much better than taking it back again.

After simply saying some polite words, they left. As soon as they walked out of the door, the eldest aunt's face turned gloomy, "Go home and study hard, especially you kid. Don't play around. If you can't improve in study, you must

You look good!" She continued: "Going to college is your only way out of this predicament." She understood this clearly, but it was up to the children to compete. But with her high-pressure mother, in order to compete

It really forced the children to study in one breath. Compared with the previous life, they all actually got into college. However, by the time my eldest cousin and the others graduated from college, the world had changed.

Watching them disappear behind the screen wall, my aunt and grandma were very tired. They haven't received the official notice yet, and they are all in such chaos. I don't know what kind of chaos it will be then.

"Otherwise, let's go out and have fun." Fang Monan said, letting my aunt see the outside world and broaden her horizons. Don't think that everything will be fine after getting into college. There is still a long way to go. The most important thing is to bring future children with you.

Let's go together with my uncle to figure out their future development path.

Everyone at home thought it was feasible, but when she came to grandma's place, she didn't want to put down her steamed bun shop. It was developing rapidly, making the business better, and she didn't want to delay making money because of fun.

In the end, my mother said that she was helping to look after it, as there were not many things in the summer vacation bureau, and promised to take care of it, so she pulled the still hesitant grandma onto the train to the provincial capital. After picking up my uncle, I was having a good time.

He was so groggy that when he heard their intention, he jumped up with joy. After asking for leave, they took the train together to go south to Shanghai.
