Happiness System

"My son really brings his own meal ticket!" Jing Zhan raised the corner of his mouth.

In fact, he had only been discharged from the army for more than a year, so naturally he did not have such strong capital to afford a sangita worth hundreds of thousands.

Moreover, not only was it the one and only Sangeeta, but his wife also won the first, second and third prizes!

The event has been going on for less than a day and the first and second prizes have all been taken away. I wonder if the mall owner will be devastated?

But unfortunately, Jing Zhan doesn't want to be in the spotlight!

He smoked a cigarette outside, and calculated that his wife should have returned home by now, so he called home and asked, "What are you going to do with the refrigerator and rice cooker?"

Sheng Yunlan yawned. She was so sleepy that she said casually, "You can arrange it yourself. Give it to your parents or your brother and sister-in-law, or you can sell it if you want!"

Jing Zhan hung up the phone and knew what was going on, so he made another call to ask someone to come over.

In addition to waiting for others and getting the car licensed, it took more than three hours to finally get everything done.

When he returned home, Sheng Yunlan was watching TV, and Sister Zhang next door was cooking in his kitchen. The house was unusually clean and tidy!

"I'm home?"

Sheng Yunlan glanced at him and continued to focus on the TV.

"'You just lost a kidney, but I lost my love!' Emma, ​​how stupid can you be to write such a line?"

Jing Zhan's mouth twitched, "Watch less meaningless TV dramas!"

"Yeah!" Sheng Yunlan turned off the TV. "Are you going out tomorrow?"

"Your passbook!" Jing Zhan took out the passbook and ID card he got from his brother. "I'm going out tomorrow, but I won't go far. I should stay at home for the next few days."

Sheng Yunlan took it and looked at it, then pointed to the pile of clothes in the corner and said, "I bought two pieces of clothing for my brother and my younger brother. Can you help me mail them out tomorrow?"

"Okay!" Jing Zhan paused and continued, "I gave the refrigerator to my parents, the rice cooker to my eldest brother, and both cars are under my name."

He took back the remaining daily necessities, "Oh, and this too!"

He continued to search his pockets and took out two coupons worth fifty off for purchases over one hundred.

Sheng Yunlan dodged for a moment and didn't answer. "Didn't you go to mom's place? Why didn't you give it to her? Shopping is too tiring, and there will definitely be more people tomorrow. I don't want to go. If you pass by, bring me a new bottle of face cream. Make sure it's a little lighter. The current one is too oily."

Jing Zhan stuffed the discount coupon back into his pocket and said, "Okay, I'll buy it for you tomorrow! I didn't go to mom's place. I asked my eldest brother to help me get the prize. He also sent the refrigerator over."

Seeing Jing Zhan's gaze sweeping towards the kitchen, Sheng Yunlan explained, "Sister Zhang across the street is a professional housekeeper. I asked her to cook two meals a day and clean twice a week!"

"Well, it's not convenient for you to be pregnant, so you should spend the money."

What followed was an awkward conversation. The couple simply didn’t find a suitable way to get along with each other!

Fortunately, Sister Zhang prepared the meal quickly.

After dinner, Jing Zhan went to take a shower first.

Only after entering the room did he realize the changes in the house, the most obvious of which was the big bed in front of him.

As for the curtains, seeing that Sheng Yunlan was pregnant, they didn't dare to drill holes or hammer in nails. Finally, they negotiated and added twenty more. They helped to make an iron frame for temporary use, and waited for her to give birth before coming over to install the curtain rails.

Although their house is an old-style three-bedroom, two-living-room house with a walk-up staircase, it is equipped with two bathrooms. The property management is also pretty good, making it equivalent to a high-end residential area second only to military and political compounds in this era.

Sheng Yunlan did not go to another bathroom to take a shower, but turned on the TV to continue watching the show.

This is a popular show at this time, and the plot is relatively normal and not so bloody.

Jing Zhan took a quick shower and came out soon, all steamy. He sat next to Sheng Yunlan, and the two looked at each other in silence.

After a long while, he finally spoke during the commercials: "I just needed that car, so I registered it under my name. When I get back on track and start making money, I'll transfer the money to your account."

"No need. The money spent on the lottery today was originally yours, and I can't drive in my condition."

Sheng Yunlan didn't understand why he brought up the car again. In this day and age, most men are still very patriarchal. Most houses, cars and even savings books are registered under the man's name.

So she was not surprised that he registered the car directly under his name.

Besides, she doesn't need a car at this stage.

Thinking of this, she talked about her feat of spending two thousand dollars in one go today, and sighed that money is really hard to spend!

Jing Zhan was speechless. In the past, his wife gave away large sums of money, which made him feel irritated. Now his wife is spending large sums again...

Well...actually I think I can accept it!

Everything bought was for family use. My two brothers-in-law were still in school, so he had no objection to spending the money on them. The most important thing was that he had a share of the things bought, and his wife was willing to spend the money on food and drink.

I just spend too much money, and it’s a bit stressful!

In a few months, the two money-eating monsters in my belly will be born, and the pressure will be even greater!

It seems that I need to think about his affairs further.

Sheng Yunlan next to her was also thinking about money. The housing prices would not change much for the time being, so she was not in a hurry to buy anything.

Money kept in the bank will only depreciate, and the right thing to do is to let money make money. However, she doesn't know anyone, so there is no one to invest even if she wants to, and she doesn't want to start a business with all the hard work.

As for investing in Jing Zhan, she has no such idea for the time being. It is too risky to put all her capital into him, unless she also participates in and starts a business together. Otherwise, if Jing Zhan has other intentions in the future, he can make her leave the house at any time.

I guess it’s because she became a pregnant woman when she came here, and her body was heavy, so she started to feel lazy.

Let’s wait and see until the goods are unloaded.

The passbook and ID card were still lying aside. Sheng Yunlan picked them up and looked at them again, then gave them to Jing Zhan next to him. "Take out another two thousand tomorrow. There are only five hundred cash left at home. Also, send another hundred to my brother and Yun Qiang so they can buy clothes and daily necessities."

She bought him a coat, two sets of undershirts and shoes, but no pants.

Just wear it for now. If my two brothers come here to celebrate the New Year, I will buy two more sets then.

Jing Zhan nodded, "Give me their account!"

The next day, when Sheng Yunlan got up, Jing Zhan was no longer at home. She still slowly went out to have breakfast, and then went home to watch TV.

In fact, she really wanted to buy a computer, but a computer now costs more than 10,000 yuan, and the Internet fee is very high. After thinking about it, she decided to give up, it’s not cost-effective!

"Emma, ​​it's really cold today. The weather forecast says it's going to snow in the next two days!"

Sister Zhang had an early morning job today. Sheng Yunlan finished her breakfast and watched TV series for half an hour before she came back with the vegetables.

"Snowing?" Sheng Yunlan paused. She really didn't pay attention to the weather forecast.

After glancing at the time, she stood up and said, "Sister Zhang, go buy some pork, beef, and shrimp, as well as dumpling wrappers, wonton wrappers, and some useful vegetarian dishes."

Sister Zhang responded and asked, "How many days' worth of food do you need to prepare? You don't need to buy the dumpling wrappers, right? I'm from the north, so I'll buy some flour and roll the dough myself so it's chewier!"

Before Sheng Yunlan could open her mouth, the phone rang. It was Jing Zhan, saying that he would come back in the afternoon to pick her up to have dinner with her parents.

After hanging up the phone, she smiled and said, "Prepare for a week. If it really snows, I will be too lazy to go out. Besides, my husband said he would take me to my mother-in-law's house for dinner tonight, so I should bring some for them.

Prepare a few different fillings so I can have them as midnight snacks!"

Sister Zhang named several kinds of dumplings and smiled when she saw Sheng Yunlan nod, "In fact, you should have prepared these foods a long time ago. There is a gas tank at home, so it's just a matter of lighting a fire. It's more convenient than going out to eat!

If you like pasta, I can make some steamed buns for you tomorrow!"

Mainly, she was worried that it would be unsafe for a pregnant woman to go out without anyone accompanying her. She was carrying two babies in her belly, and it would be a serious matter if she was bumped into by someone.

Sheng Yunlan was a little tempted, "Will it be too much trouble?"

"What's the trouble? It's just a byproduct!"

"Then let's make some meat buns and steamed dumplings?" The meat buns were for Jing Zhan to eat, and she could process the steamed dumplings into pan-fried dumplings.

"Hey, good!"

Sister Zhang took the money and hurried out again.

An hour later, Sister Zhang came back with lots of shopping bags and called her husband back to help chop the stuffing and knead the dough. Her small shop wasn't doing very good business, so she didn't suffer any loss by closing for half a day.

Sister Zhang's husband did not enter the Jing family. He stood outside the door and waited for Sister Zhang to speak to Sheng Yunlan. Then he took the flour and meat and went back to his home.

Sister Zhang stayed at Jing's house and chatted with Sheng Yunlan while getting out other ingredients. Sheng Yunlan turned off the TV and did some simple chores.

There are three kinds of dumplings: beef and green onion, pork and cabbage, and sauerkraut pork. The wontons are all filled with shrimp and pork.

As soon as the fillings were ready, Sister Zhang wrapped two of each and cooked them for Sheng Yunlan to try.

Sheng Yunlan couldn't stop eating. "Sister Zhang, it's delicious! Why didn't you think of opening a dumpling shop on the spot?"

Her family runs a fishing tackle store, which is too advanced and too niche for that era.

"Oh, it's still my husband!

Actually, we also opened a dumpling shop in the town below. Maybe we are not suitable for doing business. It is hard work and we don’t make much money. We can only make enough to eat and wear clothes, just like now.

Later, the house was demolished. We had bought a house in our hometown and were planning to do something else, but those relatives always came to borrow money, which was so annoying!

I would offend people whether I lent the money or not. Later I heard that big cities are better for children...

My husband's godmother's niece is a sales representative here. She was pressured by someone who wanted to borrow money, and she was tricked into buying this house in a fit of rage.

Who knew it would be so hard to get along in the city? People in big cities still care about class and so on.

My husband used to be a skinny guy. He thought the dumpling shop was not profitable and hard work, so after buying it, he quietly renovated it and opened a fishing tackle shop...

Once I had some free time, I didn't make any money but gained weight instead!"

Since he liked fishing, he quietly opened a fishing tackle store before she had decided what kind of business to do. She was really impressed!
