Chapter 27 You only wrote my name when claiming the prize? ...
Because she is a math teacher, Ji Wei is very good with numbers. Yesterday, she bought four sets of lottery tickets, three with different numbers. The winning numbers were the same as the last two tickets she bought. So, to be precise, it wasn't her who won, but Chen An and Lulu.
"What are you looking at so intently?" Huang Jing walked over and glanced at the newspaper in her hand.
"Just browsing to see if there's anything interesting," Ji Wei said, turning the page of the newspaper to hide her excitement.
"Nothing new seems to be happening lately. By the way, about the loan you asked about before, is anyone looking for a loan?" Huang Jing asked her.
“It’s a friend of Gu Zhiyuan’s. I don’t know if he was just asking casually or if he really intends to.” Ji Wei shook her head at her, then looked at her apologetically.
"It's nothing, I was just asking casually. It seems most people don't like taking out loans and would rather borrow from relatives and friends." Huang Jing shook her head as she spoke. Moreover, many people who borrow from relatives and friends compare interest rates with banks. I don't know what they're after.
"That's how it is. I guess they felt too much pressure from the loan." Ji Wei's palms were already a little damp. She never expected that the lottery ticket she bought casually yesterday would win. At this moment, she was so excited that she didn't hear what Huang Jing next to her was saying. She only had one thought in her mind: she had the money to buy a house.
Ji Wei was somewhat absent-minded throughout the morning. At that time, the lottery winnings were far less than the large sums of money in later years, but for her current situation, this amount of money was still a huge sum.
After school at noon, Ji Wei couldn't help but hum a song as she walked home with her two little ones. Gu Chen'an glanced at her and couldn't help but say, "Mom, you seem very happy today?"
"Yes, I'm very happy today." Ji Wei no longer hid her joy.
"Is it because Grandma and the others have passed away?" Gu Chen'an thought for a moment, and it seemed that this was the only happy thing that had happened recently.
"Of course not, you'll see why I'm happy in a bit." Ji Wei smiled and pinched his cheek; he certainly knew how to make connections.
When they returned, Gu Zhiyuan was still busy in the kitchen. Ji Wei quickly stepped forward and said in a serious tone, "Comrade Gu Zhiyuan, please remember that you are now a wounded soldier."
"It's nothing, just picking some vegetables, I did it on the spur of the moment." Gu Zhiyuan waved his hand at her, indicating that it was nothing.
"The doctor told you to rest, so just lie down and rest," Ji Wei said, shooing him out of the kitchen.
“Dad, you made Mom angry. She was so happy.” Gu Chen’an looked at Gu Zhiyuan with disapproval.
"Really? Then I'll definitely pay attention next time." Gu Zhiyuan looked away uncomfortably when he met his son's reproachful gaze.
"Then you mustn't make Mom angry again later. I don't know if Mom will still be willing to tell us that happy thing." Gu Chen'an said, glancing worriedly towards the kitchen. What if Mom doesn't want to talk about it?
"What's the good news?" Gu Zhiyuan asked him.
"I don't know either." Gu Chen'an shook his head.
Gu Zhiyuan glanced towards the kitchen, recalling what happened last night, and guessed that the loan had been approved? With the loan approved, they could buy the house they were living in now, how could that not be a good thing?
"Chen'an, you help your sister clear the table, we can eat soon." Gu Zhiyuan had prepared the dishes in advance, so Ji Wei only needed to cook them, which saved her a lot of time.
"Mom, what was that happy thing you were talking about just now?" Gu Chen'an couldn't help but ask, holding the bowl in his hand.
"Let's eat first, and I'll tell you after we finish," Ji Wei said, deliberately keeping everyone in suspense.
"Okay." Gu Chen'an was a little disappointed. He sped up his eating. Lulu seemed to be the same as usual, not interested in this thing that made everyone happy.
"Mom, can I tell you now?" Gu Chen'an said, not forgetting to show her his empty bowl, which made Ji Wei both laugh and cry.
"Okay, I'll tell you now, the lottery we bought yesterday won." The winning ticket belongs to them, and Ji Wei plans to borrow the money temporarily.
"You won the lottery?" Gu Chen'an immediately became happy.
Even Gu Zhiyuan, who had remained calm throughout, looked up, his eyes filled with surprise: "You won the lottery?"
"Yes, I won the lottery. It's true that people should have dreams." Thinking of what she said to Gu Zhiyuan yesterday, Ji Wei couldn't help but laugh.
"When are we going to claim the prize?" Now it was Gu Chen'an who was excited.
"It should be tomorrow." Ji Wei considered her classes for tomorrow and figured they could all be moved to the afternoon.
"Oh, but I have to go to school tomorrow." Gu Chen'an suddenly realized.
“Yes, so you and Lulu will both continue with school tomorrow. I’ll go to claim the prize by myself. The prize redemption center will be closed when you’re on holiday, so only I can go,” Ji Wei explained to him.
"Okay, Mom, what's the prize?" Gu Chen'an suddenly asked, curious about the prize.
"This isn't a prize, it's a bonus, so you and Lulu have to keep it a secret and don't tell anyone," Ji Wei said, making a shushing gesture at them.
"Why can't I tell others?" Gu Chen'an didn't understand. Wasn't this something worth showing off?
"Don't flaunt your wealth. If others find out we won the lottery, Lulu's uncle and your grandma will probably come asking us for money again." Ji Wei came up with a reason they could understand.
"I don't want to give it to Ji Cong," Lulu said, shaking her head vigorously.
“Okay, we won’t give it to them, so we have to keep it a secret. It’s our whole family’s secret, okay?” Ji Wei reached out her hand to them and made a pinky promise.
"This is a family secret, we won't tell anyone," Gu Chen'an said, making a pinky promise with her.
After seeing the two kids off, Gu Zhiyuan finally spoke: "What about the loan?"
"Aren't you curious about how much you won?" Ji Wei said, looking up at him. Did this guy really have no curiosity at all?
"How much did you win?" Gu Zhiyuan asked readily.
Ji Wei thought this person was really boring, so she held up one finger at him.
"Ten thousand?" Gu Zhiyuan's eyes finally flickered. If that's the case, then the money for the house can be solved without taking out a loan.
“You can guess even bolder,” Ji Wei said with a smile.
Gu Zhiyuan's calm expression finally changed: "One hundred thousand?"
“We should have received this much. Actually, the two tickets they had were the ones that won the lottery. Consider this money a loan, and we'll pay them back slowly later.” Ji Wei told him about the situation. She planned to pay the two of them back when she had the money.
“Logically speaking, this should be considered as something you bought.” Gu Zhiyuan said, looking at Ji Wei. He wondered if he could do what she did if he were in her shoes. To be honest, he wasn’t sure. At this moment, he admired Ji Wei even more.
“Since they said it was bought for them, it’s theirs. They don’t really understand the concept of money yet. We can keep this money for them and use it as seed money.” Ji Wei remembered that Xie Fei’s compensation money in her previous life had been kept in the bank and had depreciated significantly. She couldn’t make the same mistake this time.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Ji Wei, unusually playful, asked, "What, are you not confident you can pay them back?"
"I do have this concern." Gu Zhiyuan nodded and readily admitted that if he continued to work as usual, he really didn't know when he would be able to pay them back.
Now it was Ji Wei's turn to be dumbfounded. Then she reflected on herself and realized that not everyone has memories of their past life like she does. Just like she didn't have such knowledge before her rebirth. Then she looked at Gu Zhiyuan and said seriously, "Trust me, we can do it."
"I believe you." Gu Zhiyuan looked up and met her eyes, the earnestness in his dark eyes touching her deeply.
Perhaps his gaze was too intense, for Ji Wei felt her face begin to burn. She turned her face away uncomfortably, saying, "Then I'll go claim the prize tomorrow, and you and Uncle Qin can go complete the transfer of ownership the day after." Remembering his injury, she added worriedly, "Is your leg alright?"
“Yes, Ji Wei, you can treat me like a normal person.” Gu Zhiyuan’s tone was low.
"Tell me that after you get your cast removed. I'll go put the lottery tickets away first." After going upstairs, Ji Wei stared at the two lottery tickets in her hand, confirming the numbers again. This was probably the most exciting moment she had ever felt since her rebirth. She was going to claim the prize tomorrow. She put the two lottery tickets away carefully; this money was a godsend for them.
Gu Zhiyuan stared blankly at the spot where Ji Wei had just left, until Gu Chen'an brought Lulu over: "Daddy, where's Mommy?"
"Upstairs, what's wrong? Shouldn't you be taking a nap?" Gu Zhiyuan reminded them.
"Why are you acting like your mother now?" Gu Chen'an glanced at him with some dissatisfaction.
"So what?" Gu Zhiyuan thought. Seeing a psychologist was still useful. At least Chen An was becoming more and more like a child in their eyes.
"I just want Mom to remember my little frog when she goes to the city tomorrow," Gu Chen'an said, revealing his purpose.
"Tell her yourself later that you should take your little sister upstairs first, she's sleepy." Lulu, who was standing behind him, kept rubbing her eyes.
After the brother and sister went upstairs, Gu Zhiyuan was left alone in the courtyard. He remembered the sparkling look in Ji Wei's eyes when she talked about redecorating the courtyard that day, and the corners of his lips unconsciously turned up. For the first time, he began to look forward to something.
Ji Wei ordered her two children not to tell anyone about winning the lottery, and she and Gu Zhiyuan kept it a secret as well.
The prize redemption process was relatively simple at this point. Seeing the extra amount in her bankbook, Ji Wei was so happy she almost cried. She hadn't forgotten that it was Lulu's birthday. In addition to the small cake she had promised her, she had also bought her a doll as a gift. Of course, she hadn't forgotten Chen An's little frog either.
Ji Wei returned with a full load of goodies. When she came back, the two little ones were still taking a nap. This was the first time the mother and daughter had been separated since moving to the Gu family home. Lulu was afraid to sleep alone and was so sleepy that her eyelids were drooping and she didn't want to go to sleep. In the end, Gu Zhiyuan had no choice but to try to hold her and let her lean against him to sleep. At first, the little one resisted a bit, but in the end, she couldn't resist the sleepiness and fell asleep against his chest.
This was the scene that greeted Ji Wei as she pushed open the courtyard gate. She suddenly recalled a scene from many years ago, when Lulu had just been born. That day, for some reason, the little one wouldn't sleep soundly. Xie Fei carried her, pacing back and forth in the room. Finally, she fell asleep, and when they tried to put her on the bed, she started crying again. Xie Fei had no choice but to continue holding her. That afternoon, Xie Fei carried her like that all afternoon, and finally, when he was tired, he sat down with her in his arms, gently patting her back to keep her from fussing. At this moment, the two images in her mind began to overlap. Ji Wei thought, perhaps in Lulu's heart, Gu Zhiyuan was already a qualified father.
Noticing the gaze fixed on him, Gu Zhiyuan slowly looked up and saw Ji Wei standing at the door. He asked softly, "You're back?"
"Hmm, is she particularly noisy?" Ji Wei thought. Oh no, all the children have gifts, and she seems to have forgotten about Gu Zhiyuan's.
"No, she's been very good and hasn't cried at all." Gu Zhiyuan said, gently brushing the hair from Lulu's forehead, which was already soaked with sweat. The little one was fast asleep and didn't notice his movement on her forehead.
"You really didn't cry?" Ji Wei was a little doubtful. Lulu was a crybaby, and she wasn't there, so how could she not cry?
"Really, it's just that when I'm fussy and want to sleep, I keep looking for you." The fussy child had lost all sense of reason and had completely forgotten her previous instructions; all she could do was keep calling for her mother.
"It was my oversight. We should have gone this afternoon. I'll carry her upstairs to sleep," Ji Wei said, placing the things she had brought back on the table in the main room.
"There are less than twenty minutes left, let's not bother her, or we'll wake her up," Gu Zhiyuan said, disagreeing.
"I'm afraid your body will go numb if you stay in one position for too long." Gu Zhiyuan probably didn't have much experience in coaxing children to sleep. Although he was holding Lulu, you could tell that his movements were very stiff.
"It won't make a difference if it's just a few more minutes. Is everything going smoothly?" Gu Zhiyuan had no experience redeeming prizes, so he didn't know if this would be troublesome.
"It went smoothly. I deposited the money into two separate passbooks. There's 20,000 yuan in here. Tomorrow, take it to Uncle Qin to transfer the ownership. The password is the same one you told me before." Ji Wei said, handing him a passbook.
"I'll go to Uncle Qin's place this afternoon." Gu Zhiyuan remembered Uncle Qin's words and said that the sooner the better.
"Then I'll go to Uncle Qin's place before I go to school. I'll ask him to come find you, and he can take you on his bicycle when we go to transfer the property." Ji Wei thought it would be better for him to walk as little as possible in the early stages.
"Okay, I'll listen to you." Gu Zhiyuan also wanted to recover quickly, otherwise they would always treat him as an injured person.
The sound of their voices made Lulu slowly open her eyes in their arms. She rubbed her eyes to make sure she wasn't seeing things, and said in a wronged tone, "Mommy."
"Mommy's here." Ji Wei quickly reached out and took her out of Gu Zhiyuan's arms, kissing her forehead to comfort her. The little one was extremely aggrieved, constantly tugging at her clothes. Although she didn't say anything, her little face was full of grievances.
"Didn't Mom tell you she'd be back this afternoon before she left? See, I wasn't lying to you." Ji Wei lowered her head and pressed her forehead against hers, her tone gentle.
Lulu didn't speak, but simply reached out and wrapped her arms tightly around Ji Wei's neck. Ji Wei chuckled softly, then said with a smile, "Go see what Mom bought for you on the table?"
Hearing this, Lulu looked up at her, seemingly hesitant. Ji Wei gently encouraged her, "Go ahead, there are little cakes you like."
Upon hearing about the small cakes, Lulu loosened her grip on her neck. After a while, she slowly slid off her and ran to the table. Seeing the two small cakes, she didn't open them immediately but instead chose to go upstairs to wake Gu Chen'an.
Seeing this, Ji Wei went to the well to prepare water for them to wash their faces. At this time, Gu Zhiyuan, who was sitting, tried to get up again. He had been holding Lulu for too long, and his legs were a little numb.
＊
When Gu Chen'an woke up, he not only had a small cake to eat, but the frog that had been taken away had also returned. At this moment, Gu Chen'an felt like the happiest child.
While eating her cake, Lulu couldn't help but look at the dolls on the table, asking repeatedly, "Mommy, what's this?"
"This is a birthday present from Mom to Lulu. Do you like it?" Ji Wei said, handing the doll to her directly.
"I like it." Lulu nodded, her eyes unwilling to leave the doll's face.
"What else does Lulu want? I'll give it to you." Gu Chen'an was calculating his allowance in his mind. It seemed that his plan to buy badminton equipment had been postponed again.
Lulu tilted her head and thought for a moment: "I want glow-in-the-dark stickers."
"Is this all you want?" Gu Chen'an was a little happy. There were glow-in-the-dark stickers available at the school gate, and you could buy one for five cents.
"Yes, I want to stick it on my hand." Lulu said, pointing to the back of her hand. Many of her classmates in kindergarten had it.
"Then we'll go buy it after school this afternoon, and we can also look at other things while we're at it," Gu Chen'an said generously.
"Have you finished eating? It's time to go to school," Ji Wei reminded the two of the late hour.
"It'll be ready soon," Gu Chen'an said, taking the last bite of cake.
Lulu also sped up her pace, and finally said to Ji Wei, "Mom, I want to sleep with it tonight."
"Not tonight. You can only sleep with it after it's washed clean." Ji Wei explained to her about the dust that couldn't be seen on the surface of the plush toy. Although the little one didn't fully understand, she still nodded obediently.
Gu Zhiyuan's gaze remained fixed on Ji Wei. He noticed that she seemed to have inexhaustible patience with the child until he heard Gu Chen'an's voice, at which point he couldn't help but look up.
"Dad, I called you several times but you didn't answer. Bye-bye, we have to go to school." Gu Chen'an said, waving goodbye to him.
"I'll have Uncle Qin come find you later." Ji Wei glanced at him, signaling him not to go out.
"Okay." Gu Zhiyuan smiled helplessly. He suddenly felt that having someone to keep him in check was a good thing.
Ji Wei took the child to Uncle Qin's place first. Gu Chen'an asked her curiously, "Mom, are we going to buy the house we live in now?" He knew this grandfather; the house they were living in now belonged to this grandfather.
“Yes, once you buy it, you can decorate your room to your heart’s content.” Ji Wei nodded.
"Wow, can I put up lots of posters in my room?" The convenience store near the school gate has many posters. He wanted to put them on the wall before, but his dad stopped him.
"Of course you can. It's your room. You can decorate it however you want." Ji Wei gave him complete freedom.
"Thank you, Mom." Gu Chen'an said, touching his pocket where he had one yuan for the day. It seemed that after school, besides buying Lulu glow-in-the-dark stickers, he could also buy himself a poster.
Lulu is still young and has no idea about decorating her own room. For her, food is more appealing.
When they arrived at the school, Uncle Qin knocked on the gate of the Gu family's courtyard. Gu Zhiyuan was still holding the passbook that Ji Wei had just given him. He stood up and looked at the person who came in: "Uncle Qin, let's go and complete the formalities in a bit."
"Alright, I wanted to get it done as soon as possible." Uncle Qin was overjoyed.
Gu Zhiyuan didn't forget Ji Wei's instructions. He asked Uncle Qin to go to the main room to get his bicycle and take him out. Uncle Qin patted his head and said, "Look at me, I forgot that your leg is inconvenient. By the way, isn't your wife coming with you to handle the procedures?"
"She has class this afternoon," Gu Zhiyuan explained.
"Ji Wei is clearly a capable girl, and I can see that Chen An is very close to her. You've found the right wife," Uncle Qin praised.
“Marrying her is my good fortune.” After saying this, Gu Zhiyuan recalled the day they met on their blind date. At first, he could see the obvious hesitation in her eyes, but it was Chen An’s words that made her make a decision. At that moment, he knew that she must be a very loving person.
The transfer of ownership wasn't difficult, but the new property certificate wouldn't be available until tomorrow. Yang Lin even said to him, "Brother Gu, I'll bring it to you on my way home from get off work tomorrow. Is your leg feeling better?"
"Much better." Gu Zhiyuan nodded. Except for the first few days when he felt pain, he doesn't feel much pain now. He's just waiting for the bone to heal so that the cast can be removed.
After completing all the formalities, Uncle Qin breathed a sigh of relief. He patted Gu Zhiyuan on the shoulder and said, "Come on, I'll take you back. I'll go buy train tickets later. As for the things in the house, you can have them all."
"Uncle Qin, don't you want those things anymore?" Gu Zhiyuan remembered that Ji Wei used these things to bargain last night.
“Those things will take time to process, so I’ll just give them to you and Xiao Ji. You two are both generous people, so I’m happy to give them to you,” Uncle Qin said with a cheerful expression.
"Then thank you, Uncle Qin." Gu Zhiyuan thought to himself that this was an unexpected surprise.
＊
Ji Wei claimed her prize quietly, and everyone was curious about who the winner was, but unfortunately, no one knew. Wu'an Town is not far from the city. When school let out in the afternoon, Ji Wei overheard people discussing the news that two first-prize lottery tickets had been sold at the bus station in the city. The person speaking was full of envy, and her friend chimed in, "It seems we have to keep at it. If we keep going, maybe we'll be the next winners."
"Mom, are they talking about you?" Gu Chen'an asked softly when he heard the words "award".
"Have you forgotten what you promised me?" Ji Wei regretted telling them this for a moment. Children's world is simple, and they may not understand her insistence on keeping it a secret.
"Ah, I almost forgot. I promise I won't mention it again." Gu Chen'an immediately became alert.
"Then remember next time, okay? Let's forget about this from today onwards." Ji Wei decided not to mention it in front of him anymore; children forget things quickly, so he should forget about it soon. Just like Lulu right now, she was probably preoccupied with the glow-in-the-dark stickers in her hand, so Ji Wei's gaze fell on the poster in his hand: "Didn't you say you were going to buy a lot? Why did you only buy one?"
"I plan to buy one a week from now on." He wants to save his other pocket money to buy badminton shuttlecocks.
"As long as you have your own plan, that's fine." Ji Wei thought, it seems that the goal of letting them manage their own pocket money has been achieved.
"Dad, we're back. I bought a poster today and also some stickers for Lulu." These days, Gu Chen'an has made it a habit to tell Gu Zhiyuan about his day at school as soon as he gets home, and Lulu is always there to listen.
Seeing Ji Wei about to enter the kitchen, Gu Zhiyuan quickly called her back. When she turned around, Gu Zhiyuan handed her the passbook: "The formalities have been completed, and we can get the new property certificate tomorrow."
"So fast?" Ji Wei was somewhat surprised.
"There weren't many people handling business in the afternoon, so things went very smoothly," Gu Zhiyuan explained to her.
Ji Wei stared at the remaining two thousand yuan in the savings account and asked him, "Did Uncle Qin say when he would come to pick up these things?"
He said he gave them all to us.
"Really?" Ji Wei was a little surprised. Although these things were in small pieces, they could still be sold for some money. Why didn't he want them?
"I guess he's in a hurry to leave. He just finished the formalities this afternoon and is planning to go to the train station to buy a ticket. That's good, it saves us some money." Gu Zhiyuan was quite happy to accept these things.
“Indeed, then you can start thinking about the things you want to change. When I have time, I'll draw up a couple of plans and find a carpenter to make a desk for each of them.” Ji Wei’s plan is to move to the city in two years, so they will need the desks for at least two years.
"I'll ask Yang Lin tomorrow if he knows anyone in this field." Gu Zhiyuan nodded and noted her needs. Then, remembering that her room only contained a bed and the cabinet she brought, he asked, "Do you want me to make you a dressing mirror?"
"You've reminded me that my room does need a mirror." She wasn't actually that bothered; it was Lulu, who was starting to get vain, who needed one.
"So, these are all we need for now?" Gu Zhiyuan said, closing the pen and putting it into his shirt pocket.
"That'll do for now." Ji Wei had originally wanted to order some more desks, but she was worried it wouldn't be cost-effective. She planned to go to the city next week to see if any scrap yards had any old desks and chairs that schools had discarded.
"Hmm, I'll have someone ask about it tomorrow."
"Then I'll go cook first, and you can supervise them while they do their homework."
The official reason given was to supervise their homework, but Gu Chen'an was remarkably self-disciplined with it. As for Lulu, there was no homework at kindergarten, so whenever Gu Chen'an did his, Lulu would draw beside him, scribbling wildly and imaginatively. Ji Wei didn't stop her. She remembered an expert saying that when children learn to draw, they should be allowed to fully express their imagination; sending drawings to a teacher might actually limit their creativity. So, she would collect Lulu's daily drawings and take them to school each week to show to Teacher Li, who worked in the same office, and ask her to give Lulu some pointers. So far, it seemed to be working quite well.
Today is Lulu's third birthday. In addition to the cake at noon, Ji Wei specially cooked longevity noodles for her in the evening. The long noodles made Gu Chen'an very envious: "Mom, will I have these noodles for my birthday next time?"
"Of course." This was a recipe that Ji Wei later learned online. She made the long noodles by hand, and with a poached egg, it looked delicious.
Lulu was also eating noodles like this for the first time, and she just found it novel. But Ji Wei told her to try not to bite it off. She ate until her cheeks were bulging, and finally felt that her cheeks were starting to hurt before she finished the whole noodle.
"Eating is so tiring." Lulu touched her cheek. The novelty had worn off, and she realized it wasn't all that great. Soon, her gaze fell on the fried egg on her plate. She turned to Gu Chen'an and said, "Brother, can you eat this for me?"
"Ah, why? Don't you like it?" Gu Chen'an was envious; he had never eaten longevity noodles like this on his birthday before.
"My tummy is so bloated." Lulu told a little lie, touching her stomach. She was saving her stomach for the ribs on the table.
"Mom, can I eat this?" Although Gu Chen'an was tempted, he didn't forget to ask Ji Wei for her opinion.
“As long as you don’t mind, you can eat it. From now on, it’s your own business, you can make your own decisions, no need to ask us,” Ji Wei said.
Gu Chen'an quickly understood what she meant, then turned to look at Lulu: "Lulu, you really don't want it anymore?"
Lulu nodded to him again: "Okay, brother, help me eat."
"Then I'll eat it for you." Gu Chen'an thought that he could eat noodles like this next time it was his birthday, so he wouldn't envy Lulu.
After making sure he ate the egg, Lulu pointed to the ribs on the table and looked at Ji Wei: "Mom, I want to eat meat."
Upon hearing this, Ji Wei gave her a reproachful look, and finally pinched the tip of her nose: "You're getting more and more cunning these days."
Lulu pretended not to understand and simply repeated to her, "Mommy, I want to eat meat."
Gu Chen'an, who had realized what was happening, wasn't angry. Instead, he offered to help, saying, "I'll get it for you."
"Thank you, brother," Lulu said with a smile.
"You're welcome." Clearly, Gu Chen'an was very receptive to this, not only serving her ribs but also repeatedly asking if she wanted anything else.
Seeing this, Ji Wei smiled and shook her head. Everyone enjoyed the meal. While they were practicing military boxing, Ji Wei took out all the savings books in the house. Gu Zhiyuan had given her 6,200 yuan before, and today, after deducting taxes, the prize money was 110,000 yuan. She spent 18,000 yuan, leaving 83,000 yuan. That is to say, their savings were 800 yuan short of 90,000 yuan. How to use this 100,000 yuan to generate more assets was a question that Ji Wei felt was worth thinking about.
That night, Gu Zhiyuan slept on the wire bed in the room as usual, and the night passed peacefully until Ji Wei returned from school in the afternoon with the two children. Gu Zhiyuan handed her a brand new property ownership certificate, and she was somewhat surprised: "It was done so quickly?"
"Normal procedure," Gu Zhiyuan said calmly.
This was the first time in Ji Wei's two lifetimes that she had owned her own house. She couldn't wait to open it, but when she saw that it only had her name on it, she quickly looked at Gu Zhiyuan and said, "You only wrote my name?"
