At the beginning, he took his seven younger siblings to join Yi Zhonghai.

Chapter 29 Envy

"No rush, this place is huge, take your time exploring. We'll eat here for lunch. Dingya, look over there, Ma's tofu pudding, Feng's tripe..."

"Do you know why they're called that? You can't just call them that randomly. They have to be able to make everyone recognize it. Only when everyone calls them that can they change the name."

"These are all benchmarks in this industry in Beijing. When we get tired of walking around, we'll go try Baodu Feng, and for lunch we'll go to Donglaishun for hot pot."

"It's just to the north. All the famous restaurants in Beijing are there. The Donglaishun restaurant I just mentioned has been here since the Dong'an Market first opened."

Yi Zhonghai introduced it with great interest.

"Brother, sister-in-law, you've taken such good care of me these past few days. I wouldn't even be willing to be an emperor."

Yi Zhongding was deeply moved.

This couple truly wanted to give them the best of everything they could.

"Why would we want that stuff? We are the working class with impeccable revolutionary credentials, not that feudal dregs."

Yi Zhonghai waved his hand, and a sense of righteousness arose spontaneously.

Looking at his expression, Yi Zhongding couldn't help but smile, thinking to himself: Countless transmigrators agree with what you're saying.

The group consisted of three adults, seven children, and eight strings of candied hawthorns.

They just paraded around the Dong'an Market like that.

No matter where you go, people stare at you.

The Yi Zhonghai couple, who have always lived a low-key and frugal life, did not feel that there was anything wrong with it.

On the contrary, he always holds his head high wherever he goes.

At least every shop they visited left this message: "Our eight younger brothers and sisters, dear ones."

After a trip there.

It was already midday.

The group arrived empty-handed and are still empty-handed now.

However, Yi Zhonghai was carrying a sack that was more than half full on his shoulder.

Inside were a set of clothes for each of them, and enough fabric to make another set of clothes for them.

There's also malted milk powder, snack boxes, dried fruit, and more...

In any case, nothing belongs to either of them.

These were all prepared for Yi Zhongding and his younger siblings.

Yi Zhongding couldn't stop him.

It wasn't until Yi Zhonghai wanted to buy a few wooden toys that this continued.

Yi Zhongding forcibly dragged him out of the shop.

Both of them are completely out of control.

Why is it so addictive?

Because the little ones are sweet-talking and flattering.

No matter what you buy.

There were several little ones with sweet, childlike voices clapping and cheering.

He loudly thanked his elder brother and sister-in-law.

Anyone would get hooked.

As a member of the "moonlight clan" (a term referring to people who spend all their money before the next payday) in later generations, Yi Zhongding was somewhat alarmed by the speed at which they spent their money.

Just this one morning.

At least two hundred yuan is gone.

In his past life, he had never had such a pleasant experience borrowing money from either Uncle Ma or Little Uncle Ma.

Moreover, apart from clothes, there are almost no items that are not consumables.

Once you eat or drink it, it's gone.

But unfortunately, neither the eldest brother nor his sister-in-law are reasonable.

They kept saying they wanted to make up for all the suffering and hardship they had endured in the past.

Yi Zhonghai and the other man were still somewhat reluctant to part.

But Yi Zhongding said they absolutely couldn't buy anything anymore.

So I took them to Baodu Feng for another meal.

However, this time we only ordered five bowls, which we shared to fill our stomachs.

Finally, we went to Donglaishun and had another hot pot meal of mutton.

It continued until after 4 p.m.

The group then boarded the bus for their return journey, carrying large and small bags.

If it weren't for the fact that I was saying I had to go back to prepare the dinner for tonight...

Yi Zhonghai also plans to take the children for another stroll.

Back to the courtyard house.

We haven't even entered the gate yet.

Yan Bugui, who had run out after hearing the commotion, saw it.

"Old Yi, are you trying to make a living? Did you move the whole convenience store home?"

Yan Bugui exclaimed in surprise when he saw the packages in everyone's hands.

"Old Yan, what are you saying? The children have just arrived, so we need to buy them some things. How can you say we're struggling to make ends meet? We're doing just fine."

Tan Xiulian was displeased upon hearing this and immediately retorted.

Who is this person?

They just can't speak like human beings.

My Yi family is now full of descendants, and the good days are yet to come.

Yan Bugui never expected that Tan Xiulian, who always kept her head down and was always amiable, would speak up and argue with him.

For a moment, I didn't react.

"Alright, Lao Yan, stop blocking the way. Come over tonight and have a couple of drinks."

Yi Zhonghai pushed him away and said indifferently.

His expression was also somewhat unpleasant, but he was more thoughtful and knew that Yan Bugui had spoken unintentionally, so he didn't take it to heart.

"Oh dear, look at my mouth, it just won't stop flowing, haha, what did you guys buy? This is so much."

"Alright, I'll come over tonight to soak up some of your good fortune."

Yan Bugui chuckled awkwardly and then stepped aside, stunned.

Yi Zhonghai didn't reply to him, and walked home with a group of children.

Other residents from the front yard also came out to see what was going on.

But no one was as oblivious as Yan Bugui; everyone started by offering congratulations.

Yi Zhongding watched all of this unfold.

I found it funny to myself: going home this time was like passing through five checkpoints and defeating six generals.

There's another gatekeeper boss at the Intermediate Court in a little while.

as predicted.

I had just stepped into the Intermediate People's Court.

Jia Zhangshi sat at the doorway sewing shoe soles.

Jia Dongxu went to work and wasn't home.

His wife, Qin Huairu, was sunbathing while holding the "Thief Saint" stick.

"Hey Lao Yi, where did you bring this store from? There's so much stuff here."

When Jia Zhangshi looked up and saw the package in their hands, she also spoke in a sarcastic tone.

"Hehe, my sister-in-law is busy. It's all for the children's needs. We've never had enough at home, so we bought it all at once."

Yi Zhonghai greeted him with a smile.

He's in an incredibly good mood right now.

He's happy to give anyone a smile, no matter who they are.

"Yes, you two are truly like father and mother, elder brother and sister-in-law."

"This isn't raising younger siblings; anyone who didn't know better would think you, Old Yi, brought back your illegitimate children."

Madam Jia chuckled softly, rolling the whites of her triangular eyes.

"That's what the old saying goes. My husband and I treat Dongxu like our own child."

"When Dongxu got married and started his career, my husband Yi was always there to help him with everything. Take that sewing machine for example, my husband Yi spent a lot of money on it."

Tan Xiulian was displeased upon hearing this and retorted.

"Sister-in-law, there are some things that are not appropriate to say in front of the children. As elders, we should set a good example."

Yi Zhonghai narrowed his eyes and said with a half-smile.

"I don't even want to say it."

Madam Jia's expression changed slightly. She stood up, swaying her plump hips as she entered the house.

As soon as she entered the room, she lightly slapped herself in the face.

You've got a loose tongue and you can't keep things quiet.

That old man who has no descendants is now very confident; he's not the same as before, and you can't afford to offend him.

But she immediately stomped her foot hard again.

She strode heavily to the bedside, sat down, and fumed.

I just saw you guys buying so much stuff for those bastards.

They're a bit jealous, aren't they?
