Happiness System

Zhang Xiaogui stayed at her house that day, and Sheng Yunlan also paid Sister Zhang's salary.

Knowing that Sister Zhang had the same surname as her and that she was a dozen years older than the hostess, Zhang Xiaogui felt embarrassed to ask Sheng Yunlan to call her sister, and took the initiative to say that she should call her Agui or Sister Gui from now on.

Sister Zhang and she got along quite well. As soon as she put her things away, she took her out to show her the way, told her the location of the market, which store had good and affordable things to buy, and also told her in detail about Sheng Yunlan's taste.

Zhang Xiaogui did a few things and then went back to work very hard, wishing he could work for twelve hours without stopping.

But Sister Zhang had just cleaned the house yesterday, so there was really nothing to do.

Seeing her fidgeting because she had nothing to do, Sheng Yunlan wanted to take her to her mother-in-law's house and do a thorough cleaning!

My mother-in-law, Teacher Li, is very strict when she is on duty, but she is very relaxed about life. She doesn't care much about living. It's fine as long as the food she cooks is edible and the housework she does is acceptable.

Well, Teacher Li is just lazy!

It's a pity that she is her nanny, and it would be a bit of bullying if she took her mother-in-law to clean the house.

Zhang Xiaogui can't sit still, and neither can Sister Zhang.

Ms. Zhang’s clients are mainly residents in this community. She has lived here for two years, but she didn’t expect that those people in the community would smile at her on the surface, but isolate her son behind his back and call her son a nanny and a beggar.

If she hadn't heard it with her own ears, she wouldn't believe it!

After having a big quarrel with someone, she blocked everyone in the community and said that she would never work for these people again!

Fortunately, the steamed buns and tea eggs at her man's shop are selling well, and she is also preparing to have a stable formal job, otherwise she would not have the confidence to fight back.

The shop has just been opened and needs some renovations before it can be opened. She really has so much free time!

Unable to sit still at home, Sister Zhang simply went out and knocked on the door next door, "Xiao Lan, have you finished eating the dumplings and wontons? Didn't you say last time that your mother-in-law loves them? Do you want to make some more for them?"

Sheng Yunlan looked at her with a half-smile, "Oh, when you were working for me before, you always called me Madam Jing, but now you've grown up and call me by my nickname!"

"Oh, it's those people in the neighborhood. They all act like the ladies of wealthy families. They are so pretentious! Aren't we partners now? Why should I be polite to you, we are one family!"

She walked into the kitchen, opened the refrigerator and looked inside. "Everything is gone. Hurry up and get the money so we can go buy some stuffing! Xiaolan, are you going?"

"Go ahead. My stomach is pressed against me and I feel uncomfortable no matter how I move it. I'd better go out for a walk."

Sheng Yunlan stood up, took the money and followed them out the door.

Sister Zhang was really a little crazy. Under her instigation, Sheng Yunlan actually paid for a bunch of things.

After returning home, Sister Zhang and Sister Gui made a bunch of pasta, which she and Jing Zhan might not be able to finish in a month!

Although there are many flavors, they look quite greasy, especially the smell of the buns lingers for a long time, and I feel full just by smelling it!

"Brother Zhan, hurry up and bring some noodles to mother-in-law. Our refrigerator is full!"

Jing Zhan had just arrived home and before he even sat down, he was stuffed with a bunch of things and pushed out of the house. He was speechless!

Another week passed in the blink of an eye. The shop had been prepared and was ready to open. Jing Zhan suggested going back to his parents' home.

Although the eldest sister and second sister-in-law will definitely talk to my parents about the business partnership, my wife, as the initiator and the largest investor, will definitely have to go back and explain the situation in person.

First, it can reassure the elderly, and second, it can allow them to mobilize their connections to help spread the word.

Sheng Yunlan naturally had no problem with this, as she also wanted to resolve Zhang Xiaogui's issue before the winter vacation.

We agreed to go back together, so Jing Zhan didn’t go out the next day. It happened to be the weekend, so he slept in too.

By the time the couple had finished tidying up, it was already past ten o'clock.

Jing Zhan drove directly to the market and bought a bunch of vegetables, then went to a time-honored store on Tianbei Road and bought a roast goose and other cooked dishes.

It was already eleven o'clock when we arrived at Jing's father's house.

Jing Zhan told the other families that he would come over to buy vegetables, so the other families bought some fruits for the old man.

They arrived half an hour earlier than Jing Zhan's family. Seeing that it was getting late, the eldest sister and her aunts-in-law immediately snatched the dishes from Jing Zhan's hands and took them into the kitchen to prepare dinner.

"Mom and Dad, this is Zhang Xiaogui, Aunt Gui. I might be too busy to take care of Xiaolan later, so I asked someone to find Aunt Gui to come and help."

Jing Zhan gave a brief introduction and then sat down.

Zhang Xiaogui greeted them somewhat stiffly, then went straight into the kitchen. However, the kitchen in Jing's father's house was not big, and the older sisters were all in a hurry, so there was naturally no room for her to perform.

She really couldn't sit still, so she picked up a rag and started cleaning. Jing's mother wanted to stop her but failed.

In less than ten minutes, the clear water in the basin turned black.

Jing's mother was a little embarrassed and said awkwardly: "There are not many people who are so honest!"

Sheng Yunlan held back her laughter and agreed, "Yes, Mrs. Gui is very hardworking." She was counting on her mother-in-law to help her later, so she didn't dare to laugh.

After a while, seeing the men started chatting, Sheng Yunlan whispered about Mrs. Gui.

Teacher Li thought for a moment before saying, “It’s not a difficult thing, but it’s not a lot to study in a dormitory!

The one with a good reputation is Linjiang Primary School. You can’t get in if you don’t have any connections and your grades are bad!

Another one is the No. 6 Primary School. This school is close to the suburbs. The students there are mainly children of nearby workers. Many workers who have no elderly people to take care of them and often have to work in shifts like to send their children there.

The school is almost done with exams and on vacation, right? When the results come out, bring your transfer certificate and transcript and I'll make arrangements!"

"Mrs. Gui said her son's grades are good, but we should really look at the grades. We can't make decisions based on what others say!

I'll trouble you then, Mom!"

After saying a few nice words and promising to buy New Year's goods for my mother-in-law's family, the matter was resolved.

They were speaking quietly and the men were talking loudly, so no one noticed that Sheng Yunlan was asking Teacher Li to do something for her.

Teacher Li is too impatient to deal with household matters, so he will not show off his benefits.

In particular, Zhang Xiaogui cleaned her house so cleanly that Teacher Li went from being ashamed at the beginning to being very satisfied now. She should keep it up so that she won’t need to do a thorough cleaning during the New Year!

The three aunts and sisters-in-law in the kitchen were all very skillful, and half of what Jing Zhan bought were cooked food, so a table of dishes was ready in less than half an hour.

The second sister-in-law, Qiu Hongying, walked out of the kitchen, opened the window of the living room and roared like a lioness. In less than five minutes, the seven children came running back.

There was still one table for adults and one table for children. While they were eating and drinking, the eldest sister Jingying and Qiu Hongying reiterated the opening time of the Western snack shop. On the opening day, all meals were half price. They asked everyone to promote it hard that day and bring all their classmates and friends over to have some fun!

The Jing family split up early. The old people didn't care about anything, and there were no conflicts between the aunts, sisters-in-law, and sisters-in-law. The family was relatively harmonious.

There are five families in total, and three of them are small businesses. Naturally, everyone is willing to promote it. They all said they would work hard.

The kids at the table also said they would promote the event to their classmates when they returned to school.

The opening day happened to be the first day of winter vacation, and parents were still very enthusiastic about their children. If a child wanted to go out for a bite to eat, the parents would definitely satisfy their request if they asked.

Jingying and Qiu Hongying also generously praised the children for being smart and sensible, and fooled the children into not knowing the directions.

There are still a few days left before leaving Zhang, and Sister Zhang next door can't wait to run to the shop eight or ten times a day.

Compared to Sister Zhang's happiness, Brother Hu sighs all day long.

He finally took the initiative to bid farewell to the catering industry, but he ended up back to square one. First he started selling buns part-time in his fishing tackle shop, and now his wife has invested all the family savings and opened a snack shop with someone else.

Although the snack bar doesn't require him to contribute, he will have to go home to take care of the children in the future. His leisurely days are gone forever!

Alas, it’s all because his fishing tackle shop doesn’t make money. Before the shop even opened, he had already become the bottom of the food chain in the family!

In a blink of an eye, it was the opening day, and it happened to be a weekend. As soon as the firecrackers sounded, crowds of people came to congratulate the store and swarmed in.

Sheng Yunlan had been in the shop for less than half an hour when she was taken away by Jing Zhan. The main reason was that she couldn't help much, and everyone was worried that she would be bumped into, and she was somewhat of a hindrance and took up space.

The couple did not go home but went shopping.

The Sheng brothers both wrote back and agreed to come to Jiangcheng to celebrate the New Year. The only empty room left in their house didn't even have a bed frame, so naturally they had to buy the bed and bedding before the Sheng brothers came.

"That room is a little small, and my brother and I only stay here for a while during the winter and summer vacations, so there is no need to buy a big bed. A 1.5-meter bed can accommodate them, but we need to buy bigger quilts..."

They didn't go to Guangjin Department Store, but went to a furniture store not far from home. Boys don't need to be treated so delicately, a bed worth a few dozen or a hundred dollars will be enough.

Sheng Yunlan would never admit that his wallet was empty again and he was reluctant to spend money.

No matter what era, spending money is always easier than making money.

After finally winning the lottery, except for the two thousand that Jing Zhan took out, he spent the remaining four thousand two hundred on the shop.

Sheng Yunlan had thought too simply before. Later, after Jing Zhan’s reminder, several partners held a meeting and redistributed the rights and shares of the shop.

The shop is under the name of Sheng Yunlan and is Sheng Yunlan's personal property. It is rented to "Sweetheart Pastry" at the market price of 180 yuan per month. The tables, chairs and utensils in the shop all belong to "Sweetheart Pastry".

Everyone's shares were also redistributed. Sheng Yunlan, as the initiator, contributed nearly half of the funds and the formula accounted for 55%. Jingying, Qiu Hongying and Sister Zhang each contributed 15 yuan, accounting for % each. Their job responsibilities remain unchanged for the time being.

Sheng Yunlan does not hold any position in "Sweetheart Pastry" and does not receive any salary. The other three people perform their respective duties and are paid according to the market price. However, as the major shareholder, Sheng Yunlan has the right to check the accounts at any time and also has the decision-making power.

It was also agreed that dividends would be distributed once every quarter, and the specific amount would be negotiated based on subsequent operating conditions.
