Chapter 23: Mediocrity is the Only Thing That Doesn't Attract Envy



Marriage registration office.

"Congratulations to you both. Here are two feet of cloth coupons and half a pound of sugar coupons. Please keep them safe." The staff member, seeing that one of the people receiving the certificates was a soldier, quickly smiled and took out the coupons.

Lin Xiaoxiao casually handed the marriage certificate to Qin Yushen and gave a few candies to the staff.

"Congratulations, comrade, sweet talk."

He then took the tickets and put them in his bag.

"I never expected to need an invoice or certificate for my wedding."

She really hadn't expected that the sugar coupons would amount to half a jin (250 grams).

Qin Yushen carefully folded the marriage certificate, put it in his pocket, and answered her question, "Not every couple gets this; only military personnel can enjoy this benefit."

"That's only right." Lin Xiaoxiao nodded.

Soldiers bear special missions and risks, and naturally should enjoy special social treatment.

Just like in her previous life, when she was a field team member and faced life-threatening dangers at all times, the survivor base also provided sufficient protection for people with superpowers like them.

After a superhuman dies, their family will enjoy permanent protection at the base and will not have to worry about survival.

Unfortunately, she had no family left.

When the apocalypse came, the parents failed to awaken their superpowers and both died from the zombie virus infection.

Lin Xiaoxiao's face fell for a moment.

Actually, this is for the best, so we don't have to experience the cruelty and bloodshed of the apocalypse.

"What's wrong?" Qin Yushen noticed her mood and turned his head to ask.

"It's okay, let's go shopping." Lin Xiaoxiao was emo for a moment, but immediately became energetic again.

The two entered the department store. Lin Xiaoxiao had been there yesterday and knew the way well.

The family compound apartment was allocated so quickly that Lin Xiaoxiao would be living there for several years, so she naturally had to get everything ready.

Pots, pans, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar, and tea are all indispensable.

There were some items belonging to the Lin family in the space, but she disliked them and was planning to sell them on the black market when she had time.

Sell ​​it for whatever price you can.

She wants to save more money so she can buy houses in Beijing and Shanghai after the market opens up.

From now on, I'll be a landlady, hahaha.

Lin Xiaoxiao felt incredibly happy just thinking about it.

I ask you, who can resist the temptation of becoming a landlady?

Qin Yushen sometimes really couldn't understand his newlywed wife. Not only did she talk to herself, but she would also occasionally burst into silent laughter.

When you talk to her, her facial expressions can switch between several different styles in a second, and she's incredibly cheerful.

He was really curious about her inner thoughts; they must be interesting.

"I can't carry any more, let's put them in the car first, let's go." Lin Xiaoxiao's short legs moved quickly as she ordered Qin Yushen around. The two of them went out of the building, put the things they bought in the car, and then went back inside.

Throughout the entire process, Qin Yushen followed her instructions and did whatever she asked without any complaints.

Lin Xiaoxiao gave him several admiring glances.

Not bad, not bad.

She likes obedient men the most.

It took an hour to finally buy all the odds and ends.

"Not buying anymore?" Qin Yushen lowered his rolled-up sleeves. "Think carefully about whether there's anything else you want to buy. If you have a car, you can take it all back with you."

He only has a couple of free days, so he'll try to get everything done so that Lin Xiaoxiao won't have to go through so much trouble in the future.

Lin Xiaoxiao thought for a moment, "I was originally planning to buy a bicycle."

Qin Yushen suddenly thought of something and led her to the three major items counter, "We need to buy three turns and one sound for the wedding, let's see if they have any, and if they do, I'll buy them all for you."

It was his oversight.

I never expected this.

Although he has never been married, his comrades in the army have.

In addition to giving the bride price, you must buy at least one of the "three turns and one sound" (a traditional Chinese stringed instrument, a watch, a revolving door, a radio, and a watch).

Qin Yushen is not short of money. He has lived in the military base since joining the army. He does not smoke, only drinks occasionally, and does not spend much. He has saved up a considerable amount of money from his allowance.

Knowing that we would need to buy things to get our marriage certificate, I brought my bankbook with me.

He withdrew a thousand yuan and handed the passbook directly to Lin Xiaoxiao.

Lin Xiaoxiao didn't want it in the first place; it's not like she didn't have the money.

But considering that the man had voluntarily handed it over, she knew that if she didn't take it this time, it might be harder to ask him for it later. So, without any hesitation, she accepted it.

The moment she saw the balance, her eyes widened in surprise.

"Are you sure there's no illegal income in here?" she asked Qin Yushen stealthily in a low voice.

More than 30,000 yuan.

Even if Qin Yushen's allowance is high, he shouldn't have saved this much.

Qin Yu's eyes were filled with a smile as he glanced at her. If anyone should be asking about illegal income, it should be him asking her.

Lin Xiaoxiao felt extremely guilty.

He then let her go, saying, "The 20,000 was given to me by my grandfather."

Lin Xiaoxiao put the passbook away. "Let's leave this money for now."

Qin Yushen said, "Spend it as you see fit. He's got plenty of money. We might think it's a lot, but it's really just money he casually gives away."

He understood the meaning behind giving him 20,000 yuan.

Tell him not to compete with Qin Huaijun for those things in the future.

Compared to money, the value of those things is immeasurable.

Do you want to move him so he'll give up on his own?

Is that possible?

What is rightfully his must be his; no one can take it away from him.

Lin Xiaoxiao almost thought that the grandfather Qin Yushen mentioned was the only person in the Qin family who cared about her.

In this day and age, how could anyone not like it if they could just casually give their grandson 20,000 yuan?

But judging from the tone of his words, it seems there's more to the story.

Lin Xiaoxiao touched her chin.

interesting.

That's so interesting.

The Qin family and the Zhao family—it seems there's plenty of gossip going on.

"Would you be angry if I spent all of your money?" she asked.
