Happiness System

Most of Qin Xi and her companions' luggage had been mailed away; even the large item, such as the sewing machine, had been broken down, packed up and mailed to the capital.

The bicycle was bought second-hand that year, and was sold directly to the team leader's family at a bargain price. The remaining furniture was also given to the team leader's family, and the pots, pans, and other items were sold at a discount to several familiar villagers.

As for the house, it was agreed when it was built that it would become the collective property of Shitou Village when they left.

"Finally leaving!"

"After we leave this time, if we have the chance to come back, we won't have a home here anymore."

When leaving Shitou Village, everyone was happy and reluctant.

The people who were most happy about the departure of the educated youth were the cadres of Shitou Village.

Although these educated youth were lazy, greedy, and had various faults, the fact that so many of them from Shitou Village were admitted to university at the same time became a legend, and the village became a Feng Shui treasure land in everyone's eyes. In addition, several of their children were also admitted to university.

If their reputation gets out, the marriage opportunities in Shitou Village will be able to move up a level in the future.

There are still ten days left until the Chinese New Year, and school will start after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. This time they can be considered to be returning home in glory, so naturally they all want to show off their wealth back home and impress their parents.

Because of the triplets, they used their connections to get tickets for six soft sleepers in a carriage. Zhao Xiaofen had no plans to go back to her parents' home, and to go to her in-laws' home she needed to transfer in Beijing, so she and her husband took the same train as Qin Xi's family.

There are also different train numbers. After arriving in Shicheng, everyone is divided into several groups according to the train numbers.

Qin Xi and her group took a train that evening and went directly to the train station. The others took a train the next day and went to look for a place to stay nearby.

In order to avoid trouble, Qin Xi bought a few standing tickets per person after getting on the bus.

There are six beds. Qin Xi, Jing Yan and Lin Jian each sleep in one bed with a baby. Lin Lichao and Lin Lili share one bed. The remaining two beds are for Zhao Xiaofen and Zhou Xu.

Because they didn't have to take care of the baby, they were assigned the upper bunk.

Zhao Xiaofen said happily: "So this is what a sleeper berth looks like? This is my first time riding in a sleeper berth. I heard that this is for leaders only!"

Zhou Xu laughed at her: "You haven't taken a train many times."

Zhao Xiaofen stretched out her hand and pinched him, "I'm just a country bumpkin. I can see the truth but I won't say it, can I?!"

The train also provided meals at this time. After the train started, Jing Yan took Lin Jian to buy meals.

The train was really slow at that time, but luckily they bought sleeper berths, and they were all alone in one carriage. The 30-hour train ride was not too difficult to endure except for the triplets who were a little noisy.

It was just six o'clock when the train arrived in Beijing, and the sun had not yet risen.

Zhou Xu was eager to go home and didn't plan to stay. After getting off the bus, he took Zhao Xiaofen to buy tickets for the nearest train.

Grandpa Jing sent his guards to pick up Qin Xi's family and take them to the military district's family compound.

As soon as he entered the house and said hello, the old man pointed at Jing Yun next to him and said, "Let Xiao Si take you to see the house while it's still early. Get the house settled early and come back for lunch. Once you've decided on the house, buy what you need in the afternoon so you don't delay moving in."

The old man is a very traditional and dignified patriarch. Having held a high position for many years, he is used to being straightforward and will not become euphemistic and polite just because his grandchildren and granddaughters-in-law have just returned after not seeing them for a long time.

This was not the first time Qin Xi had met the old man, so she knew his character and did not think too much about it. Upon hearing this, she immediately responded, "I'll trouble Grandpa to take care of those children."

With a nanny at home, Qin Xi didn't worry at all about having no one to take care of her child. Her second uncle's family was also living with the old man, so there was naturally no room for her whole family. If she didn't want to stay in a hotel, she had to solve the housing issue today.

Jingyan handed the package of baby clothes and milk powder to the nanny and said to the old man, "Grandpa, the house matter is more important, so we won't be back for lunch. You don't have to wait for us with the kids."

The old man stared at the triplets without turning his head, and waved his hand to tell them to leave quickly.

Jing Jun borrowed a car and took them around the two courtyards before saying, "Third brother, if you and your sister-in-law are short of money, I suggest you buy the big one, and then you can live on campus or rent a small courtyard near the school."

As for the small one, Jingyan remitted another two thousand last time, and Jingjun helped to fix it up, so now I can make an extra two or three thousand by selling it.

Jing Yan shook his head and didn't reply. Instead, he looked at Qin Xi and said, "The apartment in Houhai is close to the military compound, so it's more convenient for us to go back for the New Year's Eve dinner. Why don't we live here first? I'll renovate and buy some things for the apartment in the school before the New Year, and then we can move in when school starts?"

"Okay, go check if the package has arrived and bring it over here." Qin Xi nodded with a smile, then turned to Jing Yun and said, "We have brought the money out. Please ask Fourth Brother to take us to the original owner to complete the transfer procedures."

"You want both?" Jing Jun was also surprised at the couple's wealth.

When Jing's great-grandfather was young, his family was a small business owner. They were not rich, but they had some financial resources. However, their current status was entirely achieved through the hard work of his grandfather, uncle and father.

As for my great-grandfather's family fortune, it had already been divided up during my grandfather's generation.

Their old man was in the army and was not around to take care of them, so when the family was divided up, he only got a house in Jiang City and nothing else.

In addition to real estate, the other uncles probably only had a little gold, silver and some cash.

Not to mention the Jing family in the past, even now it is not easy for the old man and his father to join forces to acquire a property.

Seeing Jingyan and his wife nodded, Jingyun thought for a moment and immediately said shamelessly: "Third brother and sister-in-law, I also saw a small two-story house near the school, and the owner wants 8,000 yuan.

I have saved nearly a thousand yuan. My grandfather and my father said that if my brothers and I buy a house and move out, we can all support ourselves with a thousand yuan.

If you have some money, could you lend me some?"

Jing Yan knocked him and said, "How dare you ask for 5,000 yuan? Did your brother get his money from the wind?"

"Third brother, you can't just marry a wife and have a son and then ignore your younger brother, right?

My second brother also got admitted to university, and they will be back with their family in a few days.

My eldest brother and his wife also said that the children had grown up and needed to go to school, and the education over there was not up to par, so they wanted to send the children back.

Poor your brother, he is so old, and finally found a girlfriend, but she despises him because he doesn’t have a house and doesn’t want to get married...”

The words had already been spoken, so Jing Jun simply started to act like a rogue.

Qin Xi saw the helplessness in Jing Yan's eyes, smiled and said, "I can lend you the money, but can you guarantee to pay it back within two years?"

"Two years?" Jing Jun's smiling face widened. "Sister-in-law, I've been admitted to university and will be a student in the future. Can I pay it off within ten years?"

Qin Xi shook her head. "Ten years is too long. Five thousand by then might not even be worth five hundred now. But if you are not in a hurry to buy your house, I can introduce you to a way to make money."

Jing Jun started the car and said, "Sister-in-law, are you kidding your brother? Even if you add the money from the old man, I still have less than three thousand dollars. The ways to double my money in a short period of time to earn enough to pay for the house are all written in the criminal law!"

"It's not illegal, but it's true that the risk is quite high." Qin Xi explained the route of the middlemen she knew, and continued, "It's indeed unstable and risky. Think about it carefully. If you want to do it, your third brother and I can invest some money. If you don't want to take risks, then forget it. We should take a good rest and we are too lazy to bother with it anymore."

"Third brother, third sister-in-law, I want to give it a try!" Jing Jun was born not to be a content person. He made the decision before he even arrived at the Housing Management Office.

Qin Xi found a pen and paper and wrote down a contact number for him. When they arrived at the Housing Management Office, Jing Jun called Jing Yan, gave him a few words, and then ran out impatiently.

In his own opinion, he was not impulsive.

There are five brothers and sisters in his family. Except for his second brother who responded to the policy and went to the countryside, the eldest brother joined the army.

Because he was naughty and refused to go to school when he was a child, he played for two years longer than others. He graduated from high school this summer. He had just worked for a few months when he took the college entrance examination and lost his good job again.

There is also a younger sister who just entered high school and a younger brother who is in junior high school.

Although my parents have a good salary and my grandfather also gives them some subsidies, the pressure of having so many children is quite high, and it is naturally impossible for them to take care of all of them.

He naturally has to think more about himself.

Jing Jun is not an honest person. He is not as good as a person who just graduated and has been working for less than half a year. How can he save less than a thousand yuan?

He can think about making money and considering the future, so how could his third brother not consider it? Otherwise, how would they get the money to buy a house?

It is totally impossible to rely on his uncle and aunt, as that couple is notoriously unreliable!

Jing's father and mother gave birth to two children, Jing Yan and his sister Jing Jin, and the couple only cared about giving birth to them but not raising them.

The child was left to the care of the old lady when he was born. Their salary was not low, but they would make a fixed donation from their salary every month. They were also people who knew how to enjoy life, and the only thing left for the children was ten yuan per child per month as child support.

When Jingyan was twelve years old, the old lady passed away. Also because of Jingyan's father and mother, he returned to his hometown Jiang City to live alone at the age of twelve. When he was eighteen years old, his unscrupulous parents said that he was an adult and should be self-reliant, so they cut off his source of income.

When he returned to Jiang City, his sister Jing Jin was only seven years old. He was still a child himself, so how could he take care of another child? So Jing Jin stayed in Jing City.

Jing Jun concluded from his uncle and cousin that parents are unreliable and that the only person a person can ultimately rely on is themselves.

Moreover, if he is not successful enough, his wife will become like his elder and younger sisters-in-law, staring at the little things in their parents' hands all day long.

Look at his third brother, his parents are unreliable, but he lives a comfortable life on his own. He bought two big houses for tens of thousands of dollars without blinking an eye.

Her third sister-in-law treated her parents-in-law as if they didn't exist. She could just buy whatever they wanted without having to consider their faces or try to please them!

Only when his pockets are full can he stand up straight. He is sure to earn this money!
