After dinner, Zeng Minlan and her sister-in-law cleaned up and washed the dishes, while Zeng Minfang and her husband began to pack their luggage and load it into the car. There were so many people and luggage that Peng Jinsong had to run back and forth several times to move everything.

Seeing them put all their things in the car, Tuantuan stood at the door and asked, "Uncle, where are you going?"

"Tuan Tuan, let's move to our own home."

Peng Jinsong closed the trunk that was packed full, came over and picked him up, "Tuantuan, uncle will take grandpa and grandma home first, and will come to pick you and mom up later. Come to uncle's house to play later."

Tuantuan had actually realized it, and pouted, "Aren't you going to live with us? Is Brother Kang leaving too?"

Seeing that he was reluctant to leave, Ji Luo immediately came over to comfort him: "Tuantuan, your uncle lives not far away, near the hospital. In the future, when you have a weekend off, your mother will take you to find Brother Kang."

"Mom, I want to play with Brother Kang." Tuantuan pouted and was about to cry.

"Brother Kang is here. He won't leave yet. When he comes home, he will take you to his house to play. Let's go see Brother Kang's new home later. If you want to live with Brother Kang, Mom will take you to move in with him."

Zeng Minfang smiled and said, "Sure, you can move into our house and we can live under the same roof again."

Tuantuan understood and his expression changed quickly. He immediately struggled to get out of Peng Jinsong's arms and urged: "Mom, let's move and live in Brother Kang's house."

"Ha ha..."

The elders all laughed, and Ji Luo couldn't help laughing, "Tuantuan, let's not move now. Let's wait for Dad to come back. Dad will be back soon, and he doesn't have the key to open the door. If we move to Brother Kang's house, he won't be able to find us. Let's wait for Dad to come back before going to Brother Kang's house."

Tuantuan thought for a moment and nodded in agreement: "Okay, I'll wait for Dad to come back and then stay at Uncle's house."

"You play at home with Brother Kang and Brother Qingfeng first. Uncle Jinsong and the others have a lot of luggage to move. Let them go first and he will come to pick us up later." Ji Luo said as he pulled him back into the yard to prevent him from blocking the way at the door.

Peng Jinsong first drove Zeng Minfang, his father, and his father-in-law and mother-in-law over, and said to the others: "Brother, sister-in-law, sister, brother-in-law, you take the children and sit here first. I will take them home and pick you up."

"Okay, drive slowly." Zeng Minlan instructed.

The wind was blowing hard outside, and Ji Luo called everyone to go inside to avoid the cold. He made them some hot tea and asked Tuan Tuan to take out his precious marbles for the other children to play with.

Zeng Minlan and her siblings were chatting about daily life, but Ji Luo did not join in the chat as he had some things to do. He took a few documents that he had finished reading in the morning and sat on the sofa to make a work call.

Peng Jinsong came over very quickly. The rest of the people squeezed into a car and went over. Tuan Tuan also followed. Ji Luo saw him to the door and said, "Sister Minlan, please help me look after Tuan Tuan."

"Sister Ji, don't worry, I will take good care of him. You stay busy at home and we will come over later."

They are just moving the luggage over today and will not be cooking at home. They will come here to cook in the evening and come over after they have packed their luggage.

After the car drove away, Ji Luo closed the door and brought Black Panther back to the living room. She also hurried to deal with her work.

"Such a big house?"

When Zeng Minqi and his wife got out of the car and saw the small Western-style building in front of them, their eyes almost popped out of their heads in surprise.

"Brother, sister-in-law, please bring the children in and sit down."

Zeng Minfang opened the door to the living room and saw Tuantuan following her. She called out to him, "Tuantuan, come in quickly. It's warm inside. Come in and play."

"Aunt Minfang, is this your home?" It was Tuantuan's first time here.

"Yes, I will live at my aunt's house from now on."

"Auntie, your house is so beautiful. When Dad comes back, I will move in and live with you." Tuantuan followed Kangzi and the others into the house without anyone leading him.

Zeng Minqi and his friends helped carry the remaining luggage into the house. Seeing the three elders coming down from the stairs, he looked up at the staircase and asked them, "Dad, Mom, how many floors are there upstairs?"

"Two floors plus a large attic, it's actually three floors."

When the three elders came over, their expressions were as shocked as his. They had just looked everything upstairs and downstairs.

Zeng's father was very excited thinking that his youngest daughter and son-in-law had really become rich. He pointed upstairs and said, "Minqi, you two should go upstairs and take a look. This house is well built and in a good location. There is a park behind it."

"Jinsong, how much is it?" Zeng Minqi and his wife were very concerned about this.

"Eight thousand eight. The decoration and furniture cost a little over a thousand in total. Adding them together, I think it's about ten thousand yuan."

"There are three large appliances. The washing machine was given by Guanglei and his wife, the refrigerator was given by Rongyan and Jiluo and their wife, and the TV was given by Zhao Dongming and his wife next door."

"Dongming's family hasn't moved yet. They went back to their hometown two days ago and will move after the Chinese New Year. We have already agreed that when they move, we will also send them a TV as a gift."

Ten thousand yuan!

This is an astronomical figure for rural people.

Almost everyone took a deep breath.

Father Peng grabbed his son's arm, his brows furrowed into deep furrows, "Jinsong, where did you get so much money? Your salary and allowances should not be more than 2,000 yuan a year. There are also expenses at home. How can you have 10,000 yuan to buy a house?"

"Yes, Jinsong, you didn't do anything else wrong..."

Zeng's father's face was full of worry, he was afraid that his son-in-law was not on the right path and that the money came from illegal sources.

"Dad, there's nothing I can't do for a living. Don't worry, the money I make is all legitimate."

Peng Jinsong knew their concerns and told them the truth: "My salary, plus other subsidies and bonuses, is about 150 yuan a month, less than yuan a year."

"But we have other investments. We invested in the home textile factory I told you about before and got some shares. We received 30,000 to 40,000 yuan in dividends in the past two years. We haven't received any dividends this year, so it should be more than before."

"Also, we wrote to you before to tell you that Minfang, Guanglei's wife, and Rongyan's cousin jointly opened a bookstore. The bookstore is very big, much larger than the Xinhua Bookstore in our county. It makes a lot of profit every month and can make tens of thousands a year."

"Minfang handles all the business matters. I don't manage them. I don't know the specific income."

"In short, don't worry. The money we earn at home is all legitimate. It's all earned by my brother and his wife. We don't invest money and don't do anything. They are capable and responsible for running the factory and the store. We don't have to worry about anything. We can make a lot of money with them and carry sacks to fill with money at the end of the year."

After listening to his explanation, Peng's father was relieved and smiled from ear to ear: "So that's how it is. Dad knows. You two are really capable. I'm relieved that you are living well in Kyoto."
