Qin Jiuan worked as an accountant in a restaurant, and his monthly salary was three taels of silver.

Every month he would spend at least half of his money buying food for those who had taken him in before.

He goes there every few days and it has become a habit.

The refugees gathered outside the city are now clearing land and planting beans and vegetables.

Each person can eat one meal a day, and when they grow food in the future, the government will no longer care about them.

Fortunately, the government and garrison troops in Beiyang are kind-hearted. If it were in other states, these refugees would not be so lucky.

"Jiuan, why are you here buying things again? I finally got you some wages, but if you keep spending it like this, it will probably be gone in three days." Shen Zhi felt helpless as she looked at the big bag of milk cakes Qin Jiuan was holding.

Every time he received his wages, he would buy food for the refugees outside the city and snacks for the little ones at home.

He now eats and lives in restaurants and has no money to spend, so he doesn't think about saving any.

Shen Zhi was worried about him, "You are not a child anymore, you should save more money so that you can get married in the future."

Qin Jiuan blinked his eyelashes, glanced at the broken end of his left arm as if nothing had happened, and a mocking smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, but no one noticed.

"Oh, don't worry about it. I have plenty of money! I can spend it however I want!"

Shen Zhi rolled her eyes.

Chu Changfeng frowned, "You can't do this! It's only three taels of silver a month. If you spend it recklessly like this, you will regret it sooner or later!"

Qin Jiuan put the things on the table, sat down next to Chu Jinzhou, and put his right hand on his shoulder. "Zhou Zhou, when Brother Jiu can't make money in the future and no one will take care of me when I'm old, do you want to take care of me? You don't have to do anything, just feed me water every day."

Everyone:......

Chu Jinzhou pursed his lips, "Brother Jiu, you are talking nonsense again. I don't want to listen to you."

Qin Jiuan raised his eyebrows and handed him a piece of milk cake, "Do you want to eat this?"

Chu Jinzhou opened his mouth and took it away, "Of course I'll eat it!"

Chu Jinnian and Mumu, the two childish ghosts, opened their mouths in haste and said, "We want one too!"

Qin Jiuan hissed, "What's wrong with you guys? Do you all want me to feed you?"

"I asked you to serve me in the future, but none of you wanted to! Now you need me to serve you, you are rebelling!"

As he said that, he reached out his hand and tickled Chu Jinnian's armpit.

“Hahaha… Brother Nine! I hate you… Hahaha… You’re so annoying…”

The little fellow was so uncomfortable from being tickled by him that he couldn't stop laughing. He couldn't help it, so he climbed on top of him and held down his right hand hard.

He only has one hand and a small doll can stop it.

Qin Jiuan was unable to exert any strength and lay on the bench, breathing lightly.

He chuckled, "We are really too awesome, Nian Nian... Even a grown-up like me has been completely subdued by you!"

I don’t know whether I was praising the little guy or mocking him.

The smiles on Chu Changfeng and Shen Zhi's faces did not reach their eyes.

"Hmph! Just tell me whether you accept it or not?!" Chu Jinnian pouted, looking smug.

"I surrender! I surrender! My brother Nian is the best! No one else can beat him!"

"Hahahaha... let's see if you dare to mess with me again in the future?!"

Only then did Chu Jinnian get up contentedly.

After a lot of commotion, everyone continued to eat the milk cake he brought.

The milk cake is full of milk flavor and especially sweet.

The little ones couldn't stop eating.

They finished the whole bag of milk cake before stopping, still feeling unsatisfied.

"Qin Jiuan, I'm telling you the truth. Don't waste your wages. Save them up and buy a small yard. If nothing else, you need a place to live, right?"

The smile on Qin Jiuan's face froze, "I think it's good now, the restaurant is good."

Although there is accommodation behind the restaurant, there are two other waiters besides him.

Shen Zhi frowned: "It would be great if you could live alone, why do you have to squeeze in with others?"

Chu Changfeng: "There is an unoccupied house three doors ahead of us. Maybe we can buy it for 20 taels."

Shen Zhi: "Or, let's do this. We'll lend you the money first to buy the house, and then we'll deduct the money from your salary."

Qin Jiuan lowered his eyes and didn't speak for a long time.

"It's not that I won't pay you a penny. I'll give you half of your wages every month, and the remaining half can be used to pay off your debt. Is that okay?" Shen Zhi continued.

He still didn't say anything, just stared at something in a daze.

Now that he has his own house, his own home, does that mean he can't just come here whenever he wants?

He just wanted to be with them all the time, he didn't want to be alone all the time.

Chu Changfeng and Shen Zhi looked at each other, neither of them could tell what he was thinking.

Chu Jinnian frowned, "Brother Jiu, why don't you agree? It would be great if you could live so close to my home. You can come to my home anytime, anywhere, and we can come to see you anytime."

He pouted, "You live in a restaurant, I can't go to play with you at night, it's too far!"

Chu Jinzhou and Mumu nodded repeatedly.

"Yes, I can't even invite you to come over for dinner at night! Daddy and Mommy are afraid it's not safe for you to come over so late at night.

Qin Jiuan raised his head slowly.

Somewhat uncertainly, I asked, “So if I buy a house, I can still come here anytime?”

Everyone was stunned.

"What do you mean? After you bought the house, you don't need so many of us anymore? No one is coming?" Chu Jinnian's eyes widened.

"How could you do that?!"

Chu Jinnian was so angry that he almost died!

He was just happy because Brother Nine lived so close to them and they would definitely be able to see him at any time.

The result? People don’t want to come to his house at all!

Shen Zhi narrowed her eyes and finally realized what Qin Jiuan was thinking.

She smiled, "Qin Jiuan, are you childish? Just because you live alone in a house, you are isolated from the world? We will just ignore you? Are you stupid?"

Qin Jiuan's nose felt sore, but soon his moist eyes revealed a brilliant smile, "Buy! I'm buying a house! You can deduct my wages at will!"

"That's right. How can you not have a decent place to live?" Chu Changfeng shook his head.

After making the decision, Chu Changfeng went to inquire about the house the next day. The house was not big, about the same as they expected, and they bought it for a total of 18 taels.

Qin Jiuan was in the restaurant and had no time to clean up.

While the little ones were not yet going to school and she had nothing to do, Shen Zhi took them to help Qin Jiuan clean up the yard.

She also planted several fruit trees and many flowers and plants in Qin Jiuan's yard.

The deserted yard soon became full of life.

The house had not been lived in for a long time and was a bit old, so Chu Changfeng came back and helped him repair the roof and fix other dilapidated places in the house.

But there wasn't much stuff in there; the bed, table and other things had to be bought new or custom-made.
