That night, Zhou Jin was lying in bed when he suddenly remembered something, something he had ignored for a long time.

Since the four of them including Long Yi were materialized, they have become living people in this world just like himself. In addition to the skills granted by the system, the ability to communicate with himself through the system, and their loyalty to himself, they are real people.

Since we are human beings, we will experience birth, aging, sickness and death, marrying and having children, and all of these require money. However, Zhou Jin had been busy with other things before and had not thought about this at all.

And because the five of them were products of the system, created out of thin air by a powerful system, Zhou Jin couldn't think of them as living people like himself from the bottom of his heart.

Ever since they appeared, Zhou Jin had been treating them like robots, assigning to them any work that he didn't have the time or energy to do, without ever considering their feelings.

Until this time when Yi Zhonghai and the deaf old lady were dealt with, it took more than half a month, and they worked non-stop every day, because they had to go all over the city to investigate and collect evidence, while also taking into account the normal operation of the black market.

Long Yi and the others hardly had a good night's sleep during this period, but because they were 100% loyal to Zhou Jin, no matter how hard or tired they were, they never complained to Zhou Jin.

They all gritted their teeth and persevered. Fortunately, hard work paid off. With their help, Zhou Jin finally defeated the biggest troubles in the two courtyards.

When Zhou Jin saw them two days ago, he found that they looked obviously tired, their dark circles had not yet faded, and bloodshot eyes were still all over the whites of their eyes.

At this time, Zhou Jin understood that what the system said was correct. Once they were materialized, they would be no different from normal people. It could be said that they were normal people.

Thinking of this, Zhou Jin couldn't help but feel a surge of guilt.

Zhou Jin thought about it for a long time. They are now the people Zhou Jin trusts the most, and they are his brothers. He didn’t realize it before and hurt them. This kind of thing will never happen again.

At the same time, when Zhou Jin is planning his own future, he must also plan for their future. From now on, they are no longer robots that help him succeed, but real brothers and friends who can stick by him at all times.

So Zhou Jin decided to express his apologies to everyone at the celebration banquet. At the same time, he also wanted to take this opportunity to understand everyone's needs and ideas so as to better plan for their future.

No matter whether they stay in Beijing or follow him to Hong Kong for development, they are the people Zhou Jin trusts the most, so as not to disappoint everyone.

Zhou Jin decided that each of them could take 1% of the black market profits in the future, and when the company was established, they would also own 1% of the company's shares.

In this way, not only can we solve everyone's economic problems, but we can also make them feel that we care about them and value them.

Thinking of this, Zhou Jin felt much more at ease.

He knows that this is just the beginning and there will be many challenges and difficulties waiting for them in the future, but as long as everyone works together, they will be able to overcome all difficulties and create a better future.

The next morning, after Zhou Jin finished dealing with the things around him, he rode his bike to Long Er.

When Zhou Jin arrived, Long Yi and the other four had already arrived and were preparing ingredients for lunch. However, they were all washing vegetables and fruits and no one was using a knife.

When Zhou Jin saw this scene, he first expressed his incomprehension, but then he suddenly remembered that none of the five of them could cook, and the food they usually ate was prepared by Zhou Jin in the space cabin and then taken away by them.

This was indeed something Zhou Jin had not considered. After all, each person could only carry two skills, so they would naturally choose skills that would be more useful for their future development.

Zhou Jin also didn't expect that they didn't have any cooking skills and really couldn't cook at all. Even though they had been out for so long, they had only learned how to wash vegetables.

There was no choice but for Zhou Jin to park his bike and start to get busy.

Although there were not many people around, for safety reasons, Zhou Jin decided to focus on the food in the space cabin, and then make some mapo tofu, spicy and sour potato shreds, mouth-watering chicken, beef with coriander, and kelp pig's trotter soup.

They also took out braised pork, stewed chicken with mushrooms, pickled pepper pork liver and boiled fish from the space cabin. There were eight dishes and one soup for six people.

Then Zhou Jin took out four bottles of Moutai and two bottles of Fenjiu from the space. Today he wanted to celebrate well and drink as much as he wanted.

Although they usually ate meals cooked by Zhou Jin, this was the first time they sat down to eat with Zhou Jin, and everyone was a little nervous at first.

But after a few drinks, the atmosphere slowly began to heat up, and everyone started chatting about everything under the sun, especially Long Er, who even played finger-guessing games with Zhou Jin.

It’s a pity that Zhou Jin has never been a drinker in his past or present life, and he has never even been to a bar. As for finger-guessing games, he has only seen others do it while eating at food stalls, but he couldn’t understand or learn it.

In the end, it was Long Yi who rescued Zhou Jin and took the initiative to play finger-guessing games with Long Er. However, Long Yi was obviously no match for his opponent and he lost more than he won. After a short while, he had already drunk four or five glasses of wine.

At this time, Zhou Jin truly felt that they were living people, the people he trusted the most.

After three rounds of wine and five dishes, Zhou Jin saw that everyone had almost finished eating and drinking, so he stood up, raised his glass, and spoke to everyone.

"Brothers, today's meal is to celebrate our success in solving the problem of Yi Zhonghai and the deaf old lady. Everyone has worked tirelessly to overcome difficulties. Thank you for your hard work during this period.

Before, I didn't consider your feelings and actual situation in many aspects and forced you to complete the task. I apologize to you here. I'm sorry, this kind of thing will never happen again in the future.

As for me, I would like to express my apologies here, and for your future development, I thought a lot yesterday and finally made a decision.

Starting this week, each of you will receive 1% of the profit from every black market transaction.

And you don't have to live here, you can find a place you like to live.

This place will serve as a transit station and cover point for supplying supplies to the black market. You only need to live here during the two days of trading.

I will always open the permissions of the space cabin to you. As for the things in the space warehouse, if you need them, you can report to me. After I confirm that there is no problem, I will open the permissions to you.

From now on, you will be the ones to decide your own life, and I will be responsible for your safety. Come, let's drink together."

"cheers."

Next, the six of them started drinking heavily. After a while, the six bottles of wine that Zhou Jin had taken out earlier were finished. In order to make everyone enjoy the drink, Zhou Jin then took out two bottles of Xifeng Liquor and two bottles of Fenjiu.

Now they were finally happy drinking. Half an hour later, Zhou Jin, Long Yi and the other four fell asleep directly on the big kang.

However, Zhou Jin's situation was still much better than theirs. After all, his body had been transformed by genetic potions, so this amount of wine was not much for Zhou Jin.

Maybe because there were too many things going on during this period of time, Zhou Jin felt very tired, so he went to sleep with them.

Zhou Jin woke up at about four o'clock, and then he quietly left here because he had to pick up Xinxin from school.

When Zhou Jin arrived at the school gate, many parents were already waiting there.

Looking at these parents, Zhou Jin couldn't help but sigh: This is life! Every day is busy, but full of love and hope.

After waiting for about ten minutes, Xinxin walked out of the school, saw Zhou Jin, and immediately ran over and hugged him.

Zhou Jin asked her with a smile how her day was, and Xinxin happily replied that it was very good.

Then, Zhou Jin took Xinxin home, and they talked a lot along the way.

After returning home, Zhou Jin made dinner for Xinxin, who enjoyed the meal very much.

After dinner, Zhou Jin accompanied Xinxin to read picture books for a while, told her stories, then helped her wash up and coaxed her to sleep.

Looking at Xinxin's cute appearance after falling asleep, Zhou Jin felt extremely happy.

Happy times always pass quickly, and in the blink of an eye it was Friday. Zhou Jin sent grandparents to Lou's house in the afternoon, and then went to Hongxing Primary School to pick up Zhou Xin, and together they went to pick up He Yushui.

It was almost half past six when Zhou Jin came to the Lou family with two little girls.

Because Lou's mother was cooking, Zhou Jin didn't have to rush. After arranging everything, Zhou Jin went to the kitchen to help.

Because the two of them were having dinner together today, there were eight people in total, and Lou's mother didn't know when Zhou Jin would arrive, so she asked her aunt to help today.

And this auntie was none other than Xu Damao's mother. After Zhou Jin walked into the kitchen, he felt that this auntie looked familiar, but he couldn't remember who she was for a moment.

So he didn't think much about it and started to cook the remaining dishes.

It was obvious that Xu's mother recognized Zhou Jin, but since Zhou Jin didn't greet her, she naturally didn't say anything.

Xu's mother was a sensible person. Zhou Jin was going to be the son-in-law of the Lou family soon, so she naturally couldn't offend him. Otherwise, she would regret it if she lost her job because of this.

Although the two families were neighbors living in a courtyard before, the gap between them will only get bigger in the future.

In fact, Zhou Jin didn't mean to ignore Xu's mother, but the relationship between their two families was not very good. Zhou Weiguo was an upright and incorruptible person, and he looked down on Xu Fugui's flattery and smooth dealings.

The relationship between his parents was not good, so Zhou Jin naturally would not have too much contact with them. Later, when Zhou Jin traveled through time, he only took over some more important things and people from his original body.

As for other unimportant things, he only had a vague memory of them. In addition, Zhou Jin had been away from Sijiu City for more than five years. When he came back, Xu Fugui had already moved away with Xu's mother and daughter.

My memory is already vague, and I haven't seen it for so many years, so it's good enough that I still feel familiar with it.
