Happiness System

Lin Xiulan nodded, "Your eldest brother and sister-in-law also advised us in the same way. Now that our family has lost its livelihood, we have always fantasized about taking care of one. Maybe it will be sold to a private enterprise like other factories, and my husband will still have a job.

When I get back, I'll ask my wife to get the job done, so we can rent a shop and buy a refrigerator with the money!"

After some calculations, she determined that if it was a small shop and did not require too much money to decorate, her family savings would be enough.

It's almost May. The eldest son is taking the college entrance examination this year. After he passes the exam, he will go to university in August or September. In three or four months, they will definitely be able to earn enough money for their son's tuition and living expenses!

As she thought about it, she whispered to her sister-in-law about the location of the shop.

Their two families were not far from each other, a 40-minute walk or a 10-minute bus ride away. However, the elders of the Jing family did not care about the affairs, and Jiang Bi and his wife were busy, so the three children were raised by the Jiang family.

If the shop does good business, they will also need Jiang Ma's help, and Jiang Ma will not be able to live there to take care of the three children.

Lin Xiulan treated her sister-in-law's children as her own family and wanted to consider them when opening a shop. She thought that the shop should be located close to both sides so that everyone could take care of the children while running the shop.

Within a meal time, the aunt and sister-in-law decided on a candidate location. The next step was to find a shop, decorate it and wait for the opening.

The men's table didn't finish eating until after two o'clock. Jiang Bi and Lin Xiu Lan helped pack up before going back to discuss opening the store with their family.

Sheng Yunlan was just about to go into the room for a nap when the door was knocked again.

It turned out that it was Jing Zhan’s childhood friend Su Guanglei who came back.

He scratched his head embarrassedly, "Sister-in-law, I'm sorry to bother you. I heard Sister-in-law and Sister-in-law Jiang talking about opening a store today... I didn't eavesdrop on it on purpose, but my family..."

Su Guanglei talked about some outrageous things his annoying brother-in-law had done.

His wife has two children, a brother and a sister. The old lady has passed away, leaving the two siblings to depend on each other.

My brother-in-law graduated from high school last year. He was not good at studying and could not get into college, and he had no intention of repeating his studies. I used my connections to introduce several jobs to him, but they all fell through for various reasons.

The boy was greedy and looked down on the little money he earned from working. He always wanted to start his own business and become a boss. Less than a year after graduation, he had spent all the savings left by his old man. Now he is left with only an old house and a shop.

Su Guanglei heard a few women discussing opening a small shop. He carefully tried the two things they mentioned and felt that they did not require high technical skills and were promising.

Jing Zhan joined the army when he graduated from high school, while he was admitted to university and went to another place, but was assigned back only after graduation. He can be considered a worldly-wise man.

He could probably tell whether this business was viable by tasting it, and because of his profession, he could also quickly calculate the profit.

It was difficult for him to move the luggage as there were too many people around, so he could only go out for a walk and come back after the others had gone far away.

What he meant was that he wanted to buy a formula and have his wife and brother-in-law work on it together.

Of course his wife has a job, but it's a half-hearted job, so she might as well not do it!

Otherwise, I would have nothing to do every day and torture him together with my brother-in-law and his sister.

If this continues, their whole family will probably be kicked out by their parents!

Jing Zhan squeezed his wife's hand and winked at her, meaning for her to agree, as the family owed the other person a lot of favors!

Sheng Yunlan nodded, and went to the room to take out the copied recipes, "These two things don't require much technical knowledge and are easy to imitate. I don't know how to run a business, so I just happened to get the recipes and show them off.

Brother Su and Brother Zhan are good brothers. If you like me, I won’t be stingy. But my sister-in-law is also our friend…”

"I understand. We also know the rules. Don't worry, sister-in-law. Our shop is in the west of the city. It will definitely not affect my sister-in-law and her family."

Su Guanglei wanted to pay for the formula, and Jing Zhan wanted to give it to him. The two of them argued for a long time, and Sheng Yunlan felt tired just watching them.

After finally sending the person away, Jing Zhan embraced Sheng Yunlan with a touching look on his face, "Xiaolan, thank you!"

Over the years, because his parents were unreliable, his eldest brother had to rely on Yue's family for help, which made his brothers feel insecure.

Sheng Yunlan yawned in a very unpleasant way, "Isn't it just a popular formula? I didn't do anything. It's up to the individual to practice, and whether they make money or lose money depends on themselves."

She didn't know that the man had stuffed 5,000 yuan into Jing Shen's pocket, so she asked casually, "How is the construction of the collective housing of Big Brother and Big Sister-in-law going? Is it time to pay the second payment? Sister Lin was here today, so I didn't feel comfortable asking Big Sister-in-law."

"I gave my eldest brother five thousand, and he didn't say it was not enough." Jing Zhan felt a little guilty.

Sheng Yunlan nodded, "I guess they are too embarrassed to ask for money because they are short of money. You can ask them privately. If it is not enough, you can give them some more so that they don't want to sell the house to get through this.

There is construction going on everywhere in the city now. Maybe their place will be demolished in two or three years?

It’s definitely not worthwhile to sell it now!”

As honest civil servants, demolition may be their only chance to get rich in their lifetime.

"By the way, did you know that your parents are going to go hiking with a tour group in a couple of days? It's organized by your dad's company, and next month there will be another tour group going to the grassland, organized by your mom's company."

She sighed and continued, "Your elderly really know how to enjoy life. We are just like old-fashioned people. We only know how to make money and take care of children every day. It's so boring!"

Jing Zhan didn't understand whether she was just sighing for a moment or had some other meaning, and he was too lazy to figure it out. He calculated the progress over there, and then said, "I'm not very busy recently, but I can't leave Jiang City for the time being. There is some time from the end of June to the beginning of July that can be freed up. Then, can our family of four go out to play?"

Sheng Yunlan nodded, "Originally, I wanted to wait until the Western Pastry Shop branch opened, and then go to the capital for a tour while the weather was not too hot.

My brother said that he is now doing a small business with his classmates and he probably won’t be back this summer. I was thinking about going to visit him.”

Teacher Li’s leg had just healed, so she started climbing mountains and riding horses. She was quite worried that he would come to trouble her again!

Although the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have a tacit understanding not to disturb each other, some relatives of the Jing family and the Li family are really annoying!

It seems that if this disaster really happens, it cannot be avoided!

Thinking of this, she fell asleep.

Jing Zhan, on the other hand, couldn't sleep at this moment. He knew how hard his elder brother had worked since the New Year.

But the old man, it’s really hard to describe!

Forget it. The old man won’t listen even if I tell him. I’m too lazy to persuade him. It’s better for them brothers to help each other more!

The opening of the 'Sweetheart Pastry' branch was quite low-key, but since it happened to be the Labor Day holiday and the store was having a get-one-get-one-free promotion, everyone was still very busy.

As expected, the suicidal teacher Li had problems with his legs and feet again, but this time he didn't need to be hospitalized and could just recuperate at home.

After receiving the call, the four siblings all brought their families over, quietly watched her whining, and then one after another found excuses to retreat!

Teacher Li was dumbfounded. The children just ran away like that? Where were their supplements? Where was the babysitter? They were not going to arrange a babysitter?

The answer is of course nothing!

Everyone has been very busy recently, even Sheng Yunlan, who is a lazy guy, has become busy.

Wei Kun has tasted the sweetness of career success. He is now preparing to open branches and is ambitious to turn his Western restaurant into a national chain.

The girl in his heart was in Shanghai, so he chose that place as his first choice for the branch.

Sheng Yunlan had a family to support, so naturally he would not go over to help him expand the market. But he couldn't do it himself, so he took the manager here away. Sheng Yunlan had no choice but to go back to work.

Besides, she has been "learning" to drive recently. She has to pretend not to know how to drive and pretend to be dumb. It's really difficult!

After a busy schedule, in early July, a professional manager finally arrived at the western restaurant. Sheng Yunlan finally found some time, and Jing Zhan had also finished his work. Now they were just waiting for Sheng Yunqiang to finish his final exams before they could set off for Beijing together.

Elementary schools start their summer vacation a week earlier than high schools, so Jing Lili came over with her luggage as soon as the vacation started.

Knowing that her uncle and his family were going to travel and that they would not be back for a certain date, she was very sensible and did not make excessive demands. She just sighed and said, "What if I miss my aunt? What if I miss Jia Jia and Lan Lan?"

Then he muttered, "My teacher is also on summer vacation. He doesn't care about the life and death of us students. So I have to face the heroes every day during this summer vacation. Sigh, life will not be beautiful anymore!"

Sheng Yunlan was about to die of laughter at her, but she didn't dare to take her with her.

This time they didn't even bring Zhang Xiaogui with them. They gave her a week's vacation to take her son back to visit relatives, and then come back to look for a house.

There were only three adults in the whole process, including the couple and Sheng Yunqiang. Jia Jia and Lan Lan are still young, and they can’t take care of another child!

She pinched Jing Lili's round face and said, "Auntie will bring you a gift!"

"Really?" Jing Lili was very surprised. Her grandparents often traveled, but they never brought them gifts.

The only thing that her arch-rival Xiaomei can compare to is the love from her grandparents.

She also observed a bit and found that there seemed to be something wrong with her grandparents and they really didn't love children!

Her grandparents never bought her any gifts, so she was too embarrassed to mention them at school. Everyone thought she didn't have any grandparents.

"Of course it's true! What other kids have, our Lily must have too!" She reached out and ruffled the little girl's hair. "When your uncle Jing comes, we'll send you home first, and then pick you up after you return from your trip to play with Jiajia, okay?"

Jing Lili nodded, "Okay! Pinky promise!"

Sheng Yunlan reached out and played this childish game of hook and pull with her.

In the evening, Sheng Yunqiang called and said that he had finished the exam and would take the earliest bus to Jiang City the next morning.

When the little girl got up in the morning, her eyes started to turn red when she thought about going back to her home and being locked in the room.

In order to comfort the little girl, Sheng Yunlan took her to the mall to buy a bunch of snacks. Then they went to the station to pick up Sheng Yunqiang and went to have a fast food meal together: Kenken Chicken.

Ken Ken Chicken was opened in Jiang City at the beginning of the year. It quickly sold out all the snack shops and became the favorite of all the children in Fengmian Jiang City.

French fries, hamburgers, and cola, not to mention children, even she, an adult, loves to eat these junk foods!

The price of Kenken Chicken was not cheap at that time. It cost Sheng Yunlan nearly 100 yuan to feed three people.
