"Second brother-in-law, is the place for transferring the property far from here?" Lu Shurui wasn't very familiar with the area.
"It's not far, behind the elementary school we passed on the way here." The second brother-in-law was still surprised that the two of them had money and gold.
"Then, let's go back to the guesthouse and get the money." Lu Shurui knew that the money was in Yu Yin's space, but it was a secret that couldn't be known by a third person.
He had told Yu Yin that this was a secret they wouldn't even tell the children, a secret they would take to their graves.
"Shurui, you two go get the money. I'll wait for you here. Take your documents and register the child's household registration directly," the second brother-in-law instructed.
Lu Shurui and Yu Yin went to catch their ride; they had to make it look like they had to go back too.
Upon arriving at the guesthouse and entering the room, the two embraced each other excitedly.
“We’re going to have a home now, a home that belongs to us,” Yu Yin said, her voice choked with emotion.
"Okay, I'll get the documents in a bit. After the house is transferred to your name, we'll register the child's household registration." Lu Shurui felt relieved. He had always worried that Yu Yin would suffer and be homeless after giving up everything to come to Shanghai with him.
Moreover, since children's household registration is now tied to their mothers, once Yu Yin registers her household, the child will be registered directly under her household, thus qualifying for benefits such as subsidized grain rations. The issue of schooling will also be much easier to resolve.
Now that things are better, he has a house, even though it was bought with Yu Yin's money, it doesn't stop him from being happy.
When the two returned to the building, the second brother-in-law and the landlord were already at the door.
Upon arriving at the housing management office, thanks to a friend's help, the procedures were completed quickly, and Yu Yin obtained a certificate with her name on it. Although it wasn't as elaborate as the property certificates of later generations, it was still her first property in Shanghai!
Back in the house, Yu Yin paid 14,000 yuan in cash and gave away 5,000 yuan worth of gold. At this point, she had almost lost all her gold, leaving only a few pieces of gold jewelry.
"The house is yours now, and I'm leaving." The homeowner said reluctantly, touching the wall beside him one last time. He was truly a rootless person now!
"So soon?" My brother-in-law was quite surprised.
"They're all waiting for me in the south."
The homeowner didn't elaborate, picked up his luggage, and left without looking back, lest he shed tears.
Watching the departing figure, Yu Yin also felt that sadness of leaving her hometown.
"Alright, now I can finally relax. Once the house is ready before school starts, everything will be fine." My brother-in-law has the air of a commanding general, always so optimistic.
"This is all thanks to my second brother-in-law. Once the house is all cleaned up, we'll prepare a nice feast, and he can order whatever he wants to eat," Yu Yin said happily.
"That's great! I'll wait! Now, let's get the child's household registration sorted out first, so he can go to school when it starts." My brother-in-law is such a thoughtful man; he always thinks of everything.
The group went to several places, and even with acquaintances, settling down was not easy, especially if they already owned a house.
Only after the last stamp was affixed and she received her ration book and non-staple food book did Yu Yin finally feel relieved.
Head of household: Yu Yin.
After packing everything up, Yu Yin locked the front door with their newly bought lock and left their new home.
As soon as you walk outside your second sister's house, you can hear the children shouting and yelling. I don't know what they're playing, but they're practically lifting the roof off.
This is why Yu Yin is so eager to buy a big house: she has many children and it's too noisy.
"You're back. How did things go?" Second Sister asked anxiously as she saw the group of people enter the room.
"Everything's done, Second Sister, we have a house now!" Yu Yin said excitedly, holding her second sister's hand.
"That's good, that's good." The second sister said, tears streaming down her face.
"Alright, this is great news, cheer up!" My brother-in-law was really worried that his wife would give birth to a little crybaby who would cry too often.
"Hehe... I'm happy, very happy." The second sister laughed through her tears.
"We won't eat at home tonight, we'll go to a state-run restaurant." Yu Yin was happy and wanted to celebrate.
"Let's eat at home, going to a restaurant is too expensive." The second sister was worried that they wouldn't have any money left after buying the house.
"Let's go, second sister, we know what we're doing." Yu Yin understood her second sister's worries; the house price was much lower than expected, which made her happy.
"Let's go, second sister, we're happy today," Lu Shurui said.
"Happy, happy!" An'an ran over, chirping like a sparrow.
Yu Yin was also helpless. An'an used to say 100 words a day, but gradually she could not even say ten words a day.
The little girl, not even four years old, does her things slowly and at her own pace every day, managing to do everything in an orderly manner.
Yu Yin never rushed her, letting her proceed at her own pace, allowing her to gradually understand the situation.
"Children, get dressed and let's go to the state-run restaurant for a good meal!" Yu Yin called out to the children with a happy heart.
A group of about ten people, of all ages, marched proudly toward the nearby state-run restaurant.
Not bad, we're quite lucky. Today they have braised pork, braised prawns, and stir-fried lamb slices. Yu Yin ordered several meat dishes, seafood, and soft drinks for the kids.
"Wow, Mom, you're so great! Mom, I love you!" Upon hearing that there was soda, An'an's heart was instantly filled with love. How could she love her mother so much!
"Auntie, I love you!" Duoduo whispered to An'an. A shy little girl, she was being raised by An'an and was starting to show signs of being a bit of a show-off.
An'an is cheerful and outgoing. The only person who makes her doubt herself is Manman.
For so long, no matter how much An'an tried to coax or talk to her, she gradually followed her own way and never listened to her sister.
