As a result, as soon as Ye Weiwei got home, before she could even stop her bicycle, she was surrounded by a group of children who had been waiting for her.

Goodness, everyone's here today.

Not only did everyone from her wife's side come, but everyone from her husband's side was also there.

Little Star, Little Mountain, Little River, and Little Spring hadn't seen Ye Weiwei for a while. As soon as they saw her return, they all ran over to surround her, showering her with kisses and fragrances, overjoyed beyond measure.

Ye Weiwei took out White Rabbit milk candies from her bag and gave a handful to each of Xiaoshan, Xiaochuan, and Xiaochun. She also gave Xiaoxing chocolates, which made the children cheer with joy, as if it were New Year's Day.

After Xiaoshan and Xiaochuan went to the side, Yan Jin led the three younger children in the family to surround them and call out "Mom" in unison.

Ye Weiwei then took out some orange gummy candies that Yan Jin liked from her bag, and gave each of the three little ones two White Rabbit milk candies.

After receiving the candy, Qin Chen'an put it directly into his pocket and then looked at his younger brother Qin Minghe, who had already eagerly stuffed a piece of candy into his mouth. "Little brother, I have two more candies now. You'll have to wash my socks for two more days."

Qin Minghe happily squinted his eyes and sucked on a piece of candy, then gave his brother a shoulder massage ingratiatingly, "Second brother, don't worry, I guarantee I'll complete the mission! You have to save all the candy for me, okay?"

Qin Chen'an nodded, then said seriously, "But you can only eat two candies a day at most, and you can't sleep with candy in your mouth, otherwise worms will grow in your teeth."

Qin Minghe nodded obediently: "Yes, yes, I know."

Qin Chen'an was relieved and said, looking helpless with his younger brother, "Alright, stop pinching me. You've gotten dust all over my clothes."

When Qin Minghe saw it, he noticed several obvious gray fingerprints on his older brother's shoulder. Feeling guilty, he withdrew his hand, stuck out his tongue, and then quickly sucked on the candy in his mouth, looking incredibly pleased with himself.

Qin Yunshu sighed as she looked at her good-for-nothing second brother, who was acting like a little adult. Then she looked at Qin Chen'an and said, "Second brother, this is wrong. You can't bribe your third brother to wash your socks just because you don't like doing it. He's been eating too much sugar lately."

Qin Chen looked away guiltily, "Okay, I won't do it again next time."

After saying that, he glanced at Yan Jin.

Yan Jin was about to slip away when Qin Yunshu caught him red-handed. "And you, eldest brother, are even more unreliable! You're the one who gives the most candy to third brother among us. Your mistakes are even more serious than second brother's. You're spoiling third brother way too much."

Yan Jin lowered his head guiltily, "Little sister, I was wrong."

Seeing this, Qin Minghe, who was standing to the side, didn't dare to suck on the candy anymore and carefully moved behind his two older brothers to hide.

Qin Yunshu looked at the three people and snorted, "I hope you'll keep your word this time."

She always admits her mistakes readily, but then repeats them next time, leaving her speechless.

Forget it, never mind!

They are all older brothers, why should she, as the younger sister, have to worry about them!

With that time, she could read many more books.

After Qin Yunshu left, Yan Jin, Qin Chen'an, and Qin Minghe all breathed a sigh of relief.

Ye Weiwei couldn't help but chuckle at the three guys' pathetic behavior.

The family has already prepared the meal and is just waiting for Ye Weiwei to come home so they can eat together.

The whole family sat down at two tables, one for the adults and one for the children.

The Qin family doesn't have a rule about not talking while eating, and since everyone was gathered together so often, they all seemed to have endless things to say, making the atmosphere at the dinner table very lively.

Qin Xiao kept peeling shrimp for Ye Weiwei. These shrimp were a gift from an old friend of Qin's grandfather. Although they were frozen, they were very fresh. Ye Weiwei was enjoying her shrimp when she heard her second sister-in-law, Zhao Lingdang, say, "Weiwei, I've seen vendors selling melon seeds, peanuts, and roasted nuts outside the movie theater these past few days. They're not the ones selling them, but it seems like no one's doing anything about it, and they haven't been arrested."

Speaking of this, Su Xuemei, the eldest sister-in-law, also had something to say: "Weiwei, the black market is much less strict now. Our unit's canteen recently bought a lot of things from the black market. Not only did they not require coupons, but the prices were also lower than before. Moreover, the quality of the rice and flour there is excellent, so it's not much more expensive in the end."

Ye Weiwei felt a little guilty when she heard that rice and flour were being sold on the black market.

Did she single-handedly bring down the price of grain on the black market?

Brother Huo also said, "My second brother and I have been traveling around for a while and found that the black market in some places has gone from the shadows to the open. They conduct transactions in a fixed alley, and the Red Sleeves don't care. At most, they'll ask for some benefits."

In the south, this phenomenon becomes more pronounced the further south you go.

Ye Weiwei looked at Old Master Qin: "Are you preparing to go all out and make a big splash?"

Seeing that everyone's eyes were on him, Old Master Qin smiled and said, "There is an idea to gradually loosen restrictions, but the specific policy documents from above have not yet been issued, and it is uncertain whether there will be any further setbacks. So if you have any plans in mind, you should wait and see."

Hearing what Old Master Qin said, everyone had their own thoughts.

Ye Weiwei could tell from their expressions that they had their own thoughts, but since Grandpa Qin said to wait a while, then they should wait a little longer. There was no need to be the first to act during this chaotic period of transition between old and new policies.

Putting everything else aside, given their family's status, no matter what policy changes occur, they will definitely be among the first to know, and will never be behind others at the starting line.

However, since there are signs of economic easing, she can start making preparations in advance.

Perhaps because the couple were of one mind and understood each other perfectly, after finishing their meal, Qin Xiao gave Ye Weiwei a property deed.

He knew his wife had a strong attachment to houses, especially big ones, so when he heard someone was selling a house, he bought it immediately.

This courtyard house has three sections. Although it can't compare to their family's mansion, it's still a fairly large courtyard. Most importantly, the buildings inside are very well preserved and have not been damaged much. They still retain their antique charm and are pleasing to the eye.

Ye Weiwei happily put away the property certificate, looking at the stack of property certificates in her space, feeling a great sense of accomplishment.

Looking at his wife's expression, Qin Xiao couldn't help but glance at his third son, who was slurping candy. He finally realized who this guy took after.

The satisfied look on their faces when they get what they like is practically identical.

Ye Weiwei also made sure to share some information about future real estate trends with her family, giving them the opportunity to acquire more properties, regardless of location—residential or commercial, as long as they were in Kyoto. She believed that if they came across a property, they should definitely buy it.

Even if you don't use it at home, you can rent it out or let it appreciate in value; in short, you definitely won't lose money.
