Happiness System

"Sister! Sister! Are you back?"

Qin Yunbei had wanted to go home for a long time since he heard from the villagers that his sister had returned, but his father had prevented him from doing so.

It was not until four o'clock when it got dark, the wind started to blow, and there were few people on the street that his father was willing to pack up his stall and go home.

"Are you back? Go to the hut and add two pieces of coal. Be careful not to step on the concrete floor!"

Qin Yinyin didn't even raise her head. She saw Qin Shen put down the things he brought back and sat on the chair. She felt uncomfortable again, "Dad, we need to install a light in the hut. I've bought all the things. Go and see how to run the wires over there!"

"I don't know what you're doing. If you have money, you might as well buy your father a bottle of wine! You're just looking for trouble!"

Qin Shen cursed, but stood up and walked out.

Qin Yinyin rolled her eyes and muttered irritably: "You're such a jerk!"

After a while, Qin Yunbei came back after adding coal and was again directed around by Qin Yinyin.

While working, he asked, "Sister, you made that little house look really nice. What are you planning to do with it? The windows are so big, it doesn't look like it's suitable for living."

"This whole little grocery store is to give your father something to do instead of drinking and looking for women all day long. At least let him support himself and stop annoying people!"

"Hey, it's good for dad to set up a stall. He loves to brag. There are many people who come to brag to him when he sets up a stall, and he can also make money!"

"Forget it, don't look down on him. There's no one to supervise him when he sets up a stall. If he gets drunk one day, he might get into a fight with others without getting too loud. The little money he earns won't be enough to pay for his medical expenses!"

"hey-hey!"

Qin Yunbei didn't know why his sister was so angry when she returned to the village, even though she was doing well in the city. He didn't dare to talk to her and just worked obediently.

Qin Shen didn't say anything when he heard what his children said, fearing that his daughter would ask him to do some work, so he squatted in the yard and played with the bundle of electrical wires.

Qin Yinyin really couldn't bear to see him idle, so she called him back as soon as she noticed him: "The light bulb at home is too dim, I bought a new one, you should change it before it gets dark."

"Electricity is so expensive, why buy a high-wattage one? What's the harm if it's a little dark? When your father was a kid, there were no candles or oil lamps. We relied on moonlight for lighting..."

Qin Shen is a man who can't help but be mean.

She knows that she has lost her job and power, and her children have grown up, so she can no longer be so domineering in front of them, but she can't help but nag him.

Qin Yinyin didn't talk to him, for fear that he would get more and more excited. She watched him change the lights in the living room, kitchen and his bedroom, so she didn't care.

Qin Yunbei had almost finished organizing his things. Qin Yinyin pointed at the clothes on the wooden sofa in the living room and said, "Dad, those are all yours. Take them back to your room! Yunbei, go see if there are any vegetables in the vegetable garden and bring some back to cook!"

Qin Yunbei sighed and went to the kitchen, picked up a basket and went out.

Qin Shen smiled and praised his daughter for being filial. He took the things back to his room, put them on without waiting to spend the night, and went out to show off.

"Sister, our field is full of grass, no vegetables! I went to my uncle's field and cut a cabbage and pulled out two radishes!"

Qin Shen had just left when Qin Yunbei came back carrying a heavy basket.

Qin Yinyin bought two kilograms of meat in the morning. She cut half of it and said, "Take this piece of meat to your uncle's house and tell him that we will have to chop it from his field if we don't have vegetables to eat later. Don't think that someone else stole it!"

Also, bring back two dollars to exchange for some eggs!"

She could imagine that after the grocery store opened, her grandparents would definitely come over to buy anything they needed for free, so they could still eat some of his dishes!

But when his stepmother came into the family, Qin Yunbei had no food to eat and went over there. His uncle and aunt scolded him but didn't chase him away or deprive him of a single bite of food. There was no way to reason with these relatives.

Qin Yunbei was a little reluctant to give so much meat, but he didn't feel comfortable asking his sister to cut some out. He took the meat and two dollars and left unwillingly.

"Sister, where do you put the eggs?"

Qin Yunbei forgot to take the basket, so he had to run again!

"Put them in a small bowl and put them in the cupboard! Are eggs still 20 cents for three now?"

Qin Yinyin counted and found there were thirty-two eggs.

"One cent each, I guess. Chickens don't like to lay eggs in winter, so my aunt said she'd charge us two cents for three eggs!"

"Well, does he raise geese at home?"

"Yes, we have raised a lot of chickens, ducks and geese this year! My aunt and grandma had a quarrel just now. My aunt wanted to sell the livestock at the last big market, and grandma wanted to keep the hens to lay eggs..."

"When you return the basket later, ask them for the price. If the price is fair, ask them to leave two chickens and two geese for us. Tomorrow, ask my cousin to help kill one goose and bring it over. Let them keep the others first and take them when we need to eat."

"Okay, shall we eat stewed goose tomorrow? Why not wait until the New Year?"

"Why can't we eat it at any time? Do we have to wait until the New Year?"

"Oh! I'm going right now!"

Qin Yinyin stewed some braised pork in the evening, but she disliked the fat, so she cooked some lean meat and radish for herself.

Qin Shen despised his son for not knowing how to drink, but also wanted to show off the fact that his daughter had opened a grocery store for him, so he invited his father and elder brother to come over for a drink.

Fortunately, the braised pork was served with cabbage and vermicelli, otherwise it would not be enough for us to eat.

Grandpa Qin looked at his son's new clothes and felt jealous. He didn't know how many years it had been since he last wore new clothes!

Knowing that it was Qin Yinyin who brought the baby back, he kept throwing cold knives at his granddaughter, despising her for being unfilial to him and his wife.

Qin Yinyin ignored him!

After eating, he told Qin Yunbei to wash the dishes later and then went back to his room.

Qin Shen knew that he had made his daughter angry, so he didn't dare to call his elder brother and father over to stew the goose the next day.

Knowing that the teacher who took care of Qin Yunbei's meals was going back to Qiu Shui Ji to celebrate the New Year, Qin Yinyin asked her brother to go to her uncle's house to catch a big goose the next morning. She also took some New Year's goods and gift boxes, and hung them full on the front of her bicycle before going to the teacher's house to pay New Year's greetings.

Fortunately, they went early, and Teacher Ren and his family had packed up and were ready to go out!

Qin Yinyin didn't delay them. She exchanged a few words of greeting, put down her things and left.

In Liushui Town, people eat rice and noodles together. She prefers rice, but the men in the family like noodles more.

The temperature here in winter basically stays around 5 degrees to minus 10 degrees, so things can be stored there.

After leaving the teacher's house, she did not let her brother go to the street to sell goods to Qin Shen, but instead captured a strong man and asked him to go back to knead dough.

What was rare was that her miserly aunt actually came to help them with the work.

Aunt Qin secretly observed for two days and found that things had changed in the third son's family. It turned out that her niece Qin Yinyin was in charge!

And according to the information Uncle Qin had gathered, the Spring Festival couplet business was "let" by the niece through her classmates, and the grocery store that was to be opened was also the idea of ​​the niece for the third child.

She wanted to ask for some advice and see if she could find a job for her son and daughter-in-law.

Don’t waste the free labor!

Aunt Qin not only knows how to raise livestock, but she is also particularly good at making pasta.

Qin Yinyin asked her to help rise the dough, and then pulled her to help move the shelves into the previous storage room and lay out the goods.

Aunt Qin tried to change her mind several times but it was all in vain. After finishing the work, she wiped her sweat and said hesitantly, "Yinyin girl, what do you think your elder brother and sister-in-law can do?

Your uncle and I are both old, and our bodies cannot handle the pretentiousness of the couple.

When your uncle and I die of exhaustion, your grandparents and three nieces will probably starve to death..."

As she spoke, she wiped away a handful of non-existent tears.

Qin Yinyin looked at the flower rolls she picked up from the pot and said, "How could it be possible? Big brother has a bicycle, and you, auntie, have cooking skills. How could you starve to death?"

"Ah? What kind of craft?" Aunt Qin was interrupted and couldn't continue her performance. "Your eldest brother and his wife are just lazy. It's better to hand them a knife and cut their own throats than to let them raise chickens and livestock!"

Qin Yinyin shook her head, "I'm talking about noodles! Aunt and uncle can make them at home, and then we can just ask them to ride their bikes to buy them.

Or you can rent a dough shop on the street, provide them with the dough, and ask them to fry dough sticks and pastries and sell them.

As long as the food tastes good, you can work one day and rest the next without losing money. It’s okay to be lazy and not make money to support your family.”

"Let me think about it, let me think about it again!" Aunt Qin still felt uneasy and had no intention of working for Qin Yinyin. She wiped her hands absent-mindedly and walked home.

Qin Yinyin didn't care. The work was almost done, except for two pots of steamed buns. It was an easy task, so she could just leave it to Qin Yunbei.

She lit a stove and took it to the grocery store to keep warm, then went over with the stickers to put prices on the goods.

The ladies in the village came back and forth to watch the fun, "Yinyin girl, is your family really opening a grocery store?"

"Yes! The price is the same as on the street. I can make a little money by giving everyone a hand!"

Qin Yinyin repeated the same conversation over and over again, and also sold some items worth more than ten yuan.

Zhang Wenyan really wanted to take advantage of the situation, but unfortunately, they had just been beaten up by Qin Shen not long ago, and Qin Yinyin was a heartless person, so she had the intention but not the courage!

Qin Yinyin didn't know how many times she had seen Zhang Wenyan passing by. When she saw Zhang Wenyan trying to get closer, she looked at her coldly with a stern face, and then the little courage Zhang Wenyan had mustered disappeared completely.

The next day was a big market, but Qin Yinyin did not go to sell goods. Instead, she spent ten yuan to ask her cousin and his wife to help.

The couple asked Aunt Qin for five yuan to go to the market, but they didn't get anything after the whole night. Finally, their cousin gave them ten yuan at once, and they happily followed Uncle San to set up a stall in the morning.

Qin Yinyin was still guarding the grocery store, carrying a stove over. She sold goods when someone came to buy something, and read a book when no one was around. She also chatted with the aunts and sisters-in-law in the village from time to time. The days passed quickly.

At around four o'clock, Qin Shen was pushed back by Qin Yunbei while sitting on a cart.

Nothing happened, just pure laziness!

Seeing Qin Yinyin staring at him coldly, he chuckled, "Girl, all our goods are sold out. There are fewer people after three o'clock, and I saw that there were not many goods left, so I lowered the price. I didn't expect that there were so many people waiting to pick up the bargains!"

"Oh, then you can look around the shop yourself from now on. Remember to memorize the prices. Also, we don't sell on credit!"

Her attitude towards Qin Yunbei was gentler. "There's chicken soup in the pot. Go make some soup for yourself. We'll have to cook later."

"Son, bring a bowl to your father first!"

Qin Shen didn't mind being treated coldly and walked into the grocery store happily. He felt like he couldn't see enough.
