Happiness System

Chapter 68 The Stepping Stone of the Apocalypse Heroine (31)

"Sister Xixi, last time you said you would treat us to a big meal when you came back, I thought you were bragging! Hiccup, I didn't expect that among the dozen of us brothers and sisters, you are the most powerful and trustworthy one! Hiccup..."

The person who was speaking was Uncle Zhuang’s youngest son. He took the college entrance examination this year, but met the end of his life before he even entered university.

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by his father, "What do you mean? Am I starving you because of you? Even though I'm so full, I can't stop you from talking?"

Uncle Zhuang knew that his youngest son would definitely complain to his cousin next. Scholars tend to be noble and care about their reputation, and he didn't want his son to say those words and make his family look like poor relatives begging for money.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, his youngest son burst into tears and cried, "Can you let me talk? I just want to talk to Sister Xixi, I don't want to take advantage of her!"

Sister Xixi, you have no idea how hard it is for me. My brother and sister have all completed their growth, but I haven’t. I grow slowly to begin with.

If I continue to grow taller, it will be the end of the world. Although the porridge in our family is thicker than that in other families, and my aunt and grandmother often feed me special food, I am still very hungry!

I'm not ungrateful, I'm just hungry. I was so hungry that my stomach kept growling in the middle of the night and I couldn't sleep!

Didn't Sister Xixi tell us that we must eat enough to have a greater chance of becoming stronger? I can't even eat enough!

I can't become stronger because I can't grow taller!

Wow...I can't hold it in anymore, I feel so miserable!"

The phrase "can't grow tall" made Qin Yunxi laugh. She stopped her second uncle Zhuang who was about to beat her son and said with a smile, "This is where the second uncle and second aunt are wrong. How could they not feed the child? Look how hungry my brother is!

"Brother, come to my house for dinner from now on, and I'll make sure you continue to grow taller! You must not become a dwarf!"

The people from the Zhuang family and the Qin family are not short. The women are at least 165cm tall, and the men are 178cm tall and above.

This younger brother is 171 years old and is still only cm tall, one centimeter shorter than Qin Yunxi.

This height is not considered short in the south, but they grew up in the north, and their shortness is particularly conspicuous in the family, especially the eldest son born to my aunt, who is only 175 years old and has grown to cm...

After comforting her brother, Qin Yunxi felt her body reacting again. She stopped her second uncle and second aunt who were trying to make excuses, pretended to yawn and said, "You guys can chat first. Brother Yanbei should go back to see Grandpa Wen, right? I won't see you off. I'll wait for you to come find me after you're done."

Mom, Dad, and brother, please organize the things I brought back and distribute them to my two uncles and my aunt's family. I haven't had a good night's sleep these past few days, so I'll leave you now."

Wen Yanbei noticed that something was wrong with her, and immediately stood up and hugged her waist, forcing a smile and said to the Qin couple, "Uncle and aunt, where does Xixi live? Let's talk for a few words before I go back. The elderly at home must be waiting anxiously."

Qin Dacong and Zhuang Qiao also realized that he had something to say, and immediately took him to the large room reserved for Qin Yunxi.

It is called a big room, but in fact it is just the room with the best light in an 80-square-meter four-bedroom and one-living room house with no public area.

The four rooms are actually the same size, they just have different orientations and lighting.

The houses in Zone C are all laid out like this, with six households on one floor. Two households are 80 square meters with four bedrooms and one living room, two households are 70 square meters with three bedrooms and one living room, and the remaining two households are 50 square meters with two bedrooms and one living room.

The biggest feature of the houses in Area C is that the bedrooms are small but the living rooms are large. In fact, this design is also for the convenience of some survivors who live together.

The Qin family was able to afford this large apartment because of Qin Dacong's habit of hoarding gold, and because Qin Yunxi got them a batch of food with gold at the beginning of the apocalypse. In addition, her space gave Qin Dacong the confidence to buy the house in District C. Otherwise, his first choice would definitely be District D.

They were the first batch of immigrants to the base, so they were able to use gold and materials to take ownership of the house. The second batch of residents were not so lucky. The base had implemented a new system, and all the remaining houses were only rented and not sold! Except for those who made significant contributions to the base.

The two brothers of the Zhuang family were able to live in Area C thanks to the Li family and the Qin family.

Although the Zhuang family has been engaged in business for several generations and can be considered a wealthy family, the Zhuang family has experienced ups and downs over the years and their financial resources are not actually that abundant. Qin Dacong came from behind and the Qin family's assets have long surpassed the Zhuang family's.

Most of the things left behind by the Zhuang family’s ancestors were antiques and ancient books. They did not accumulate much gold, and after the end of the world, those antiques and ancient books had become worthless.

Their two families were also considering living in District D, but Qin Dacong went to the Li family and then to District D, and he would never agree to his uncle's two families living in District D.

In order to seek explanation, they took their mother-in-law and two uncles to Area D.

After they came back, they no longer mentioned wanting to live in District D, and let Qin Dacong and Uncle Li, their two brothers-in-law, spend money and effort to help them get a house.

The two uncles from the Zhuang family both had four children. The eldest uncle's three sons and one daughter were all married. Because the daughter's in-laws did not want to move to Kyoto, she took her husband and children to follow her parents. There were too many people, and Qin Dacong gritted his teeth and gave them a four-bedroom, one-living-room apartment.

My second uncle's family has two sons and two daughters. The eldest son and daughter are married. The eldest daughter's husband is from another place, so naturally she can only move in with her parents' family. But Qin Dacong was powerless and could only give them a three-bedroom, one-living-room apartment.

My second aunt's family was not bad in the early years. Although it is now on the decline, she relies on the fact that she is a real Kyoto native. She has never looked down on the people in her husband's family. She doesn't like their smell of money. They have nothing in common. Naturally, she has very little contact with her husband's family. She would not go to City A during the New Year if she could.

Now they have to settle down again, and her parents' family, whom she relies on, can't help at all and they also expect her to give a hand. Instead, it is her sister-in-law, whom she despises the most, who is supporting them, which makes her feel very insecure.

The proud and aloof talented woman finally began to understand the ways of the world and became familiar with the ways of the world.

"What happened to Xixi?"

As soon as they entered the room, Qin Dacong and Zhuang Qiao immediately discovered that something was wrong with their daughter, but they did not dare to say anything and could only lower their voices anxiously.

“Uncle and aunt, Xixi may be about to awaken her superpowers, and a superpowered person may have appeared in the base, but the official announcement has not yet been made.

There is actually no big problem with Xixi's current state, but this state will probably continue until her superpowers awaken.

She may be more sleepy during this period. If she cannot wake up at mealtime, you can feed her the water in the backpack. Remember to only feed her that water and cannot change to other water.

In addition, there will be a special doctor to see her...”

Wen Yanbei explained everything and left in a hurry. He had to go home first to see the situation at home before deciding whether to take his fiancée over.

After seeing Wen Yanbei off, Zhuang Qiao picked up the backpack that Wen Yanbei mentioned and said in a nonchalant manner, "This child must be really exhausted. He fell asleep as soon as he touched the bed. These days of running around outside must be harder than we thought."

When grandma heard what Zhuang Qiao said, she immediately felt sorry for her granddaughter. She glanced at the wall clock and saw that there was still more than an hour before the power went out!

She immediately hurriedly wanted to drive her children and grandchildren back to their own home. Dozens of people, big and small, filled the entire living room, and she couldn't let them disturb her granddaughter's rest.

Qin Dacong quickly stopped her and said, "Mom, don't worry, let's keep our voices down! Let's unpack together and see what Xixi brought back for everyone. Let's sort the things out first, so that when the power goes out later we will know how many people we need to come back to get the things."

Most of the younger generations present were married, and they had only gathered together again in this damn end of the world. Not to mention the children's generation, even people of their generation would naturally have all kinds of little thoughts for their own small families.

What is worrying is not the lack of wealth but the inequality of wealth. He thinks he is open and honest, but he also doesn't want to cause trouble for his daughter.

Since my daughter said that these things should be divided equally among the four families, then divide them up in front of everyone. If anyone dares to bring up these things in the future, don't blame me for being rude!

The oldest child in Miao Jin's family is only ten years old, and the youngest is three years old. She was afraid that the children were not trustworthy and might let something slip and bring disaster to the family, so she was the first to step forward and send the three children back home.

Her sister-in-law's child was only one year old. When she saw her sister-in-law sending her nephew back, she hurriedly picked up the child and pulled her husband to go back.

According to her thinking, her family of three were all guests, so she and her husband didn't want to know what was going on at her aunt's house, let alone her own parents' house.

The families of the remaining two daughters-in-law of the eldest wife had not moved to Kyoto either. They had no families in need of help, and the mother-in-law was always fair. Seeing this, she quickly pulled her children back to her home upstairs.

Seeing her daughter-in-law and married daughter standing there motionless, the second aunt's face immediately turned green and red. She suppressed her anger and said, "The eldest daughter-in-law, take your three brothers and sisters and the children home quickly. Look at how dirty the children are. Go back and wash and dry their clothes quickly. Otherwise, they will be wasted and you won't be able to buy new clothes!"

She emphasized the word "three" on purpose, hoping that her eldest daughter would be more sensible and not embarrass herself by staring at things on the ground.

Unfortunately, Qin Yunxi, my cousin, was a female warrior who fought for love in her early years, so she could not understand her mother's hidden words.

And her son-in-law, who is actually a gigolo, is even better at pretending to be stupid.

Even the greedy little son left reluctantly, but the couple still sat still in their chairs, and my second aunt almost had a heart attack from being so angry.

Although this girl has caused a lot of jokes to everyone, the second uncle still doesn't want to add another one.

He stopped his wife from getting angry, walked over, patted his son-in-law on the shoulder and said, "You two should take the children home quickly while the lights are still on. It will be difficult to walk if the rain gets heavier."

As he spoke, he pressed it down a little more forcefully as a warning.

The Phoenix son-in-law saw that no one spoke up for them. Although he was thick-skinned and didn't feel embarrassed, he was afraid of angering his father-in-law and mother-in-law. Then he realized that he should leave. He said goodbye to the elders and dragged his wife out.
