Now that she had found a good place to put the several large bags of things, Lan Xin could finally relax.

Seeing that it was still early, Lan Xin took her things back to the yard.

With the help of the Lanqing brothers, the fence of the entire yard was replaced with a two-meter-high fresh bamboo wall. Bamboos of almost the same height were split in half and densely arranged together, then nailed horizontally up and down with bamboo. It was a simple bamboo fence that could block the view from outside.

If people outside don't look closely through the gaps, they can hardly see what's going on in the yard.

As for the size of the yard, Lan Qing and the others also fenced in some uninhabited area for Lan Xin, making the entire yard half as large and looking much more spacious.

There were so many bamboos. If there hadn't been a bamboo forest in the back mountain of Lanjia Village, it would have been impossible to find so many bamboos. Such a large project kept Lan Qing and his team busy for many days under the scorching sun.

But with a wall like this, Lan Xin feels more secure.

Otherwise, it would be empty outside, with no one around, and she would be scared. But since she couldn't see anyone, she wouldn't be so scared anymore.

Back in the house, Lan Xin sorted out the things she bought.

Things like oil, rice, and noodles, as well as a few pieces of meat and a pig's trotter, were all placed in the kitchen next to the brick house.

Now that I have finished my work, I will definitely come back to cook for myself in the future. It is not good to always eat at Lao Lan's house, I have to cook for myself.

Then there were some other miscellaneous things, including a bag of cement weighing ten kilograms, which Lanxi carried in and put in the thatched hut. She estimated that after a short rest, she would be able to paste the walls tomorrow.

After putting away all the miscellaneous things one by one, Lan Xin went out of the yard to take a look.

Everyone at the door had left, the adults had gone home, and the children had gone off to play somewhere else. Lan Xin closed the yard door, went back to the room, and took out a brand new passbook from the bottom of the cloth bag.

She opened this account at a bank in the provincial capital this morning. It contained the money they had earned from selling hair bands over the past three days, a total of more than 26,000 yuan. If this amount was converted into cash, it would take up a very large bag.

During these three days, Lan Xin counted the day's turnover every night, and then went to the bank to open an account and deposit the money into her passbook the next day. This was both safe and secure.

Looking at the passbook, Lan Xin pointed at the numbers and counted them again. Only then did she feel relieved and couldn't help but burst into silent laughter.

After working so hard for so long, she finally made some money and became a millionaire in this world!

Thinking of the payment from Zhao Qingfeng tomorrow, Lan Xin couldn't suppress her smile.

After the fun was over, Lan Xin looked at the small room and wondered where to put the passbook.

After reading it up and down, Lan Xin decided to put it in the drawer. This was the old red book. Everyone had to have one, and guards would come to check it from time to time. But now it has been abolished and is no longer used. But she didn't dare to throw it away, so she put it away, because no one was interested in reading it.

Now is a perfect time for Lan Xin to hide the money.

After putting the things away, Lan Xin stuffed another four hundred yuan in change into her pocket, then went to the kitchen and carried the meat to Lao Lan's house.

The villagers they met along the way all had their eyes on the pieces of meat and the big pig.

His eyes followed the ups and downs of the DuangDuang meat, and he couldn't help swallowing.

Wow, such a long strip of pork belly looks like it weighs four or five pounds. It must be so delicious when made into meat. We couldn’t even bear to eat like this during the Chinese New Year.

And there were not just one piece of meat, but six in total, including a fat pig's trotter. Seeing so much meat made their mouths water, and they couldn't help but ask Lan Xin.

"Lan Xin, where are you going with these pieces of meat? Go back to your parents' house."

"Let's go to my uncle's house and see him." Lan Xin said with a smile while holding the meat.

Lan Xin was too lazy to mention the meat she bought for Lao Lan's family, so she asked Lan Xi and the others to take it back.

This meat is a gift.

It was only after her sisters-in-law reminded Lan Xin that she remembered this. Otherwise, Lan Xin, a lonely woman, would never have understood the ways of the world.

Although Lan Xin didn't really want to understand, but living in this age where social conventions are important, she still needed to adapt to the local customs.

Lan Xin's grandparents are no longer with us. Old man Lan Dayong is the third child in the family. He has two older brothers, a younger brother, and two younger sisters who married into other villages.

In the past, these uncles and aunts were not very close to Lan Xin, but they had helped her. Now that they were doing well, Lan Xin's family bought two pieces of meat and a bag of milk candy for each of them, and her uncle got an extra pig's trotter. These were already considered generous gifts, and no one could find fault with them.

Furthermore, Lan Xin's uncle is the village party secretary of Lanjia Village. Lan Xin also wants to ask him to change Yingying and Yueyue's surnames back to hers.

She raised him after a divorce, so why should he have the same surname as Zhou Rongxin and the others?

They think they don't have daughters like Yingying and Yueyue, so why do they keep giving them their surnames?

Lan Xin walked all the way to Old Lan's house, called out Yingying and Yueyue who were having fun, and simply packed up, holding a few pieces of meat in one hand and the remaining meat and cloth bag in the other hand, and then went to the nearest house.

Lan Xin delivered gifts to every household. She was not very good at dealing with these relatives who were not familiar but not strangers.

Knock on the door, enter the room, call people, take the child to recognize people, hand over gifts, exchange a few words, and say goodbye.

After going through the whole process, Lan Xin used the excuse that she had to go to the next store, and the process was completed in just ten minutes.

Lan Xin looked so sincere and polite that the families could not find any fault with her. Moreover, the generous gift touched their hearts, and they were so satisfied with her that they wanted to invite Lan Xin and her mother and daughter to have dinner together, which showed how much they loved her. However, they were all rejected by Lan Xin.

Now only Uncle Lan’s family is left.

Lan Xin looked at the two children beside her and sighed. Just go ahead, can you retreat?

As soon as Lan Xin entered the yard, she started calling people one by one, so enthusiastically. After going through another set of procedures, she looked at Uncle Lan who was sitting opposite her and asked tentatively.

"Uncle, I want Yingying and Yueyue to share the same surname as me, Lan. What procedures do you think are necessary?"

Uncle Lan looked at Lan Xin, frowning: "Lan Xin, you and Zhou Rongxin..."

"Divorced, completely divorced!"

Lan Xin said this with a determined look on her face, without any sign of wavering or lingering, and she looked like she wanted to break up with Zhou completely, which made Uncle Lan sigh.

Then he asked, "It's not impossible for you to let the child take your last name. You are still so young, don't you plan to find another one?"

Lan Xin shook her head: "I don't have this idea for now, I just want to raise my two children well."

Uncle Lan was silent again, and after a long time he sighed and said.

"Okay, as long as you don't regret it, bring your two children to the office tomorrow to complete the formalities."

After saying this, he looked at the two clean and pretty little girls and snorted through his nose.

"What a great couple of kids. A bunch of people who don't know what's good. They will be our Lan family members in the future."

"Oh, okay!" Lan Xin looked surprised.
