Happiness System

Sheng Yunlan just smiled and didn't comment when she heard this. She now knew a little about Sister Zhang's family situation.

Their community is not very big, with a total of twelve buildings, seven and six stories high, with two households on each floor, so there are less than three hundred households in total.

The average house price in Jiangcheng is five hundred, but in this community, they bought this house for eight hundred per square meter half a year ago.

The people in this community cannot be said to be rich or noble, but they all have good family backgrounds. There are very few people like Sister Zhang's family who made a fortune from the demolition and bought a house and returned to their ordinary lives.

When she was taking a walk downstairs, she heard people in the community pointing at Sister Zhang's son and saying that he was the nanny's son. To a certain extent, Sister Zhang's family was isolated.

But Sheng Yunlan didn't say much, because maybe people were pointing at her behind her back and saying: This is Mr. Jing's country wife who has nothing to offer except her good looks, and no one knows how she managed to get into bed and marry into the family.

Her marriage to Jing Zhan was just an accident. Fortunately, she married Jing Zhan, a man with a strong sense of responsibility, otherwise her life would have been ruined.

The culprits are naturally Liu Meilan and her current husband's family, the Jin family. She has no intention of taking revenge now, but if they dare to reach out to them again, things may get worse in the future.

Sheng Yunlan was in a serious physical condition and didn't have much energy left. He helped to make the dumplings as if it was a game. He would stop after making a few. He was just a bystander.

Sister Zhang rolled out the dough very quickly. Once she had a pile of it, she would take it to the next room to wrap it for her husband without getting tired of it.

Of course, her mouth was not idle either, mainly complaining about her husband. The fishing tackle shop had little business, and her husband was either bragging and talking nonsense with the neighbors all day long, or closing the shop to go fishing if he had a disagreement.

No one in her family likes to eat fish, so the man could only bring it back to the store or sell it at the market, and this became the main source of income for the store.

Quite speechless.

What could Sheng Yunlan say? Say that your fishing tackle store opened too early?

"Sister Zhang, your cooking skills are really good! Have you ever thought about stopping your other jobs and setting up a stove to sell buns in front of Brother Hu's store?"

With the help of Sister Zhang's husband, she brought out the meat buns and dumplings.

"Selling buns?" She had never really thought about it.

"Hmm!" Sheng Yunlan took out a pen and paper and calculated the cost for her. "Look, Brother Hu's shop is in a good location with a lot of traffic. It would be a pity if he didn't do some side business! By the way, he can also cook a pot of tea eggs and buy some milk together."

Sister Zhang stared at the numbers on the paper and did some calculations. It was really profitable. Moreover, Sheng Yunlan calculated the prices in the market. For example, when they opened a dumpling shop before, they paid wholesale prices, so the cost was even lower!

They just limit themselves to not doing too much every day, so it's not tiring. When you add it up, the profit is more than what the two of them make now combined!

"Good boy! You scholars have to use your brains to work! All we can think of is that a fishing tackle store can only sell fishing tackle!"

Sister Zhang excitedly ran home with the paper to find her husband. The couple calculated the cost and the family savings and decided that it was still possible.

Anyway, they are not greedy and only sell for two or three hours a day. It is much easier than running a dumpling shop in the past, and they already have most of the tools.

When Sheng Yunlan woke up from her nap, Jing Zhan was already at home.

She rubbed her eyes and asked, "Brother Zhan, why are you back so early?"

Their place is only twenty minutes' drive away from my mother-in-law's house, and they can't expect a pregnant woman like her to go there to work, so it would be enough for her to arrive half an hour before dinner.

"Aren't you going to buy face cream? There are two coupons here. I'll take you over to choose for yourself." Jing Zhan smiled and didn't say that he went out to discuss business today and came back after the talks failed.

"Oh!" Sheng Yunlan looked at her clothes. "Today, Sister Zhang and I made dumplings and wontons and steamed buns. Heat up the buns in the pot and take some out of the refrigerator for my parents."

"it is good!"

Jing Zhan stood up and walked towards the kitchen.

It was only when Sheng Yunlan returned to her room that she noticed the envelope on the dressing table, with her passbook and ID card next to it.

It turned out that Jing Zhan had returned a long time ago. Her vigilance was really too low!

After throwing her things into the drawer and locking it, she found a new set of clothes from the closet and put them on.

The couple ate the buns left in the pot, then went to the mall to buy a coat for the parents-in-law and some facial cream. After using the coupons to deduct the money, they only spent more than 100 yuan, but according to the rules, they could draw two discounts.

It was still early, so Jing Zhan protected Sheng Yunlan and queued up for the lottery, and finally won a bicycle and a rice cooker.

Now, she has collected all the awards and become the biggest winner of this event held by Guangjin Department Store!

"Do you want me to keep the bike for you to ride later?"

Jing Zhan was also amazed by his wife's Midas Touch.

Sheng Yunlan shook her head, "I don't ride a bicycle!" It would be better to give her a female motorcycle! A small electric car would also be fine!

Jing Zhan put the small prize redemption card in his pocket and said, "Give the bicycle to Nian Nian, and the rice cooker to my second brother's family."

Nian Nian is the daughter of Jing Zhan's elder sister and is already in junior high school.

Jing's father and mother had four children in total, a daughter was the eldest, followed by three boys.

Now all three brothers and sisters are taken care of, and no one can accuse them of being partial!

When they arrived home, the eldest sister and the second sister-in-law were sitting on stools, picking vegetables and chatting with the two elders.

They both worked in the same factory. It was my eldest sister who introduced my second sister-in-law to my second brother. Unfortunately, the factory closed down at the beginning of this year and both of them were laid off.

Both of them work in offices. There are many college students outside now, and they have no competitiveness due to their high school education and age. They are also unwilling to work in factories as front-line female workers who do backbreaking work, so they are now housewives at home.

Jing Zhan is very good at dealing with people. As soon as he entered the door, he stuffed the clothes into his parents' hands and said, "This is Xiao Lan's gift to you two."

Then she took out the prize redemption cards and gave them to her eldest sister and second sister-in-law, "Xiao Lan is lucky. Last time, I got a rice cooker for my eldest sister-in-law. This time, I got a bicycle for Nian Nian and a rice cooker for my second sister-in-law. Tomorrow is the last day of the event. Remember to go to Guangjin Department Store to redeem your prizes."

The one who was most surprised was naturally the second sister-in-law. Yesterday, she and her husband complained that the youngest was only close to the eldest brother, but she didn't expect that someone would send her an electric rice cooker today!

The eldest sister was also very happy. Her daughter just started junior high school this year. She had originally planned to buy her a bicycle when her daughter entered junior high school, but she was laid off and the elderly at home were not in good health, so she couldn't bear to do so.

The location of her house is quite awkward. It's only one bus stop away, but it takes nearly 40 minutes to walk to the middle school. In fact, riding a bicycle is the most convenient way.

Because of the car issue, their daughter often complained to them that they were biased towards boys and were partial to girls.

That’s good now. I heard that the car in Guangjin Department Store is worth more than two hundred dollars. I can finally shut up my daughter!

"What did you bring over here, son?"

The old lady asked when she saw her son walking towards the refrigerator with a bag.

"Dumplings, wontons, and meat buns. The older sister across from my house used to run a shop that made these. Xiao Lan asked her to help make a lot today."

Jing Zhan was not stupid enough to say that his wife now hired others to do the cooking and housework.

"Hey, this is good! This thing is good!"

The old lady was happier than getting new clothes. She didn’t like cooking and wasn’t very good at it. The old man was also a male chauvinist and never went into the kitchen.

Jing Zhan shook another bag and said, "I also bought a roast goose!"

"Was it bought from that old brand on Tianbei Road?" The old man was also very satisfied with this appetizer.

"It's that store. We went there specifically to buy it!"

After Jing Zhan put his things away, he was pulled out by the old man to check on the car, and the old lady followed behind him.

The eldest sister and the second sister-in-law took advantage of the situation and didn't let Sheng Yunlan work. They just let her sit on the sofa and chat with them.

It was mainly the eldest sister and the second sister-in-law who were chatting. After becoming housewives, the gossipy nature of women was fully displayed. Sheng Yunlan was stunned by all the gossip.

It seems that those melodramatic performances in TV dramas are still a bit conservative!

After the gossip, the two started talking about their former colleagues and the female workers in the factory, who had connections and went to which department, who went to which factory to work in the workshop, and who pushed a cart to become a peddler...

As we chatted, we talked about the farm downstairs and said that the neighbor had ordered milk for his child at a certain price per month.

Sheng Yunlan seemed to be thinking about something, but still had to ask Jing Zhan's opinion.

By six o'clock, all the descendants had arrived and it was time to eat. The adults sat at the dining table, and the seven children sat at a small table next to the coffee table.

My eldest sister has a son and a daughter. Her son was conceived before the family planning policy was implemented, and she encountered many troubles because of this.

My eldest brother also has two sons and one daughter. The eldest is a daughter who had a minor heart problem. She used this as an excuse to have a second child, twin sons.

My second brother’s family has twin sons, and the Jing family has the gene for twins.

The Jing family split up after the second brother got married. The old people were too impatient to take care of their children and grandchildren, and they also said that Jing Zhan would have to move out after he got married.

Jing Zhan and Sheng Yunlan got married in the bridal chamber. Due to Sheng Yunlan's inferiority complex and Jing Zhan's busy schedule, they seldom came here.

The other brothers and sisters lived not far away, and they knew how to feed the elderly. They were afraid that the elderly were malnourished, so they would buy groceries and come over to have meals with them almost every week.

It doesn’t have to be the weekend, I’ll just come over any day when I’m free or when I remember.

The old man provided the staple food and salt, oil, sauce and vinegar, and they bought some meat and vegetables, and they all got along happily.

However, it is relatively rare for all descendants to gather together like today.

The purpose of getting together today is very simple. My eldest brother and his wife bought a house, so our family wanted to celebrate. Because the new house still needs simple decoration, the gathering was held at my parents' house.

My eldest brother now lives in a two-bedroom apartment allocated by his company. Now that his children have grown up and have developed gender awareness, it is inconvenient for his siblings to live in the same room, so he is thinking of moving.

The newly purchased building is a three-story building, which is ten years old and covers an area of ​​more than 50 square meters. Its advantage is its good location and convenient transportation.

The families of the eldest sister and the second brother are now single-income earners, and they are not as good as the eldest brother's family where both of them work in government agencies. While they envy the eldest brother for buying a house, they are also very happy for them.

Those were good days, and everyone just ate and drank, and no one preached to the eldest sister and the second sister-in-law, telling them to find a good job and not to be too ambitious.

After dinner, Jing Zhan saw that his wife was bored, so he sat for a while and then took her home.
