Quick Transmigration: When Can I Just Lay Down and Wait to Die?

On the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, after sending off the New Year's greetings, Liu Laogen entrusted his land to the clan and mailed out the things he needed to take with him to the county post office in advance.

The children's school transfer procedures were also taken care of, the whole family bought train tickets, said goodbye to the longing Liu Xiaozhu and his wife, and set off.

The five little ones chattered away the whole way, leaving the adults no time to worry about the future, and they arrived in Beijing in a lively and cheerful manner.

The courtyard had been prepared in advance and was not far from the house where the four of them lived. Because there were too many people, the children all lived with the adults. It was just a matter of adding a bunk bed to each room. Anyway, they lived with the adults at home, so they weren't uncomfortable with it.

First, we took the family to get familiar with the area for two days, where they ate roast duck and hot pot. The adults were heartbroken to see how much money we spent each day and kept urging us to set up a stall and make money.

Liu Laogen and Zhang Dani stayed home to look after the children, while Liu Yuxi and the others ran two stalls each day, each taking care of Liu Dazhu and Liu Erzhu, a married couple.

Now everyone makes their own money, instead of working together. However, they still buy goods together each time, since Liu Yuxi's judgment is still better than theirs.

By the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, Liu Dazhu and Liu Erzhu were able to sell goods on their own. After arranging for the younger children to attend nearby schools, Liu Yuxi and the other three returned to school.

For a while, the four of them would go to Liu Laogen's place for dinner every day after school, chat about the day's business, and talk about the children's schooling, before returning to their little courtyard to rest.

After half a month, when everyone had gotten used to it, they started going out to buy goods and set up a stall together during their weekly breaks.

After six months, Liu Laogen, Zhang Dani, and their children had all adapted to life in Beijing, while Liu Dazhu and Liu Erzhu, the couple, had become seasoned business people.

With the money I earned in the past six months, I bought two small storefronts facing the street. I'm just waiting to do some simple renovations and open a clothing store. If I make more money later, I'll need to buy a house, since each family has a child, and we also need to resolve the issue of the child's household registration.

While the shop was being renovated, the whole family packed their bags and went back to their hometown. This time, only Liu Yuxi went with them. Liu Yushan and the other two were all working and didn't have much time. Liu Yuxi had given up her job assignment after graduation.

She plans to spend her life writing novels and doing business. Her family knows her situation and that going to work is inconvenient. Now that the family's financial situation is getting better and better, and they are not worried about their children going hungry, no one says anything.

This trip home is to rebuild the old house, and also to see how Liu Xiaozhu and his wife plan to make arrangements. They have also been assigned jobs. According to Liu Laogen and Zhang Dani's current thinking, they definitely hope that Liu Xiaozhu and his wife will also go to Beijing. What a secure job is, that doesn't matter.

Moreover, house prices are rising quite fast now, and they are worried that their youngest son and his wife will not be as well off as their two older brothers in the future, which could affect their brotherly relationship.

Both men were assigned jobs in the city that required a certain level of education, so selling wasn't easy. However, they could apply for unpaid leave, so once their families had arranged for a construction team, the three brothers and their families rushed back to Beijing.

Back in their hometown, it's just Liu Laogen and his wife, Liu Yuxi, and their five children at home. The five children play wildly in the village every day, while Liu Yuxi stays with Liu Laogen to oversee the construction.

The house was built according to Liu Yuxi's idea, expanding outwards from the original homestead. It was a three-and-a-half-story villa built with blue bricks in the style of later rural villas, with six rooms on each floor. The three brothers each had one floor, and the top half floor was used as a storage room. It was also big enough to accommodate the fourth generation.

Liu Yuxi didn't want to cause trouble later. At that time, there were still many mud-brick and thatched houses in the countryside. By the 90s, most of the houses in the village would be built with red bricks and tiles. In 2000, they would be replaced by bungalows. By 2010, they would become small rural villas.

Every time we tear down and rebuild, it's a huge investment of manpower and resources. It's better to do it right the first time, so that at least for the next thirty or forty years, the Liu family's old house won't need any major alterations.

This was only because the family was now wealthy, and the cost of bricks, tiles, and labor was cheap. Liu Laogen and Zhang Dani had also broadened their horizons by going out, and considering that they would only return to their hometown for the Chinese New Year in the future, they finally agreed.

The courtyard was also made of blue bricks, with half of the walls painted white. It was all built in the style of Hui-style architecture. The kitchen and toilet were the same. A small pavilion was also built over the well in the house. After the house was built, it was very beautiful.

Later, when people in the village built new houses, they all used Liu Yuxi's house as a template, the only difference being the number of rooms. By the time city dwellers started flocking to the countryside, many agritainment businesses had opened in the village.

When school was about to start, Liu Dazhu and his friends came back to pick up the children. After all, there were too many children. Nowadays, you don't need a letter of introduction to go out, and there are more people taking advantage of the situation. This family has both old and young members, and they didn't feel comfortable letting them take the train by themselves.

Liu Yuxi stayed in the village instead of going back. The house wasn't finished yet, and she was the only one with free time, so she stayed. They would wait for everyone to come back for the New Year, and then go back to Beijing together after the New Year.

In the past two months, Liu Yuxi has written articles for many magazines, including short stories, novellas, and novels. The current royalties are quite high, and Liu Laogen and Zhang Dani are finally relieved to see that she has a considerable income every month.

In November, when the roof beam of their house was being raised, the three Liu brothers returned to the village. After treating the villagers to a meal, they gave Liu Yuxi some money to buy furniture, and then the three of them went back to Beijing.

When the new year started, Liu Yuxi returned to Beijing with his family. He moved in with Liu Laogen and his wife, along with their five children. There were too many people in the family to fit in one courtyard, so they decided to have separate rooms for those who went to work, those who ran businesses, and those who went to school, so that they wouldn't disturb each other. The whole family would only get together on weekends.

When Liu Xiaozhu and his wife first set up their stall, they worked much harder than others. After a month, they each took over a stall. Although it was more tiring, they earned double the money.

Not wanting to fall too far behind their two older brothers, the two bought a shop and a small courtyard during the Spring Festival. So this year, apart from Liu Laogen and Zhang Dani, whose household registration remained in Liujia Village, everyone else's household registration was transferred to Beijing.

Of course, the only land left in the family was the six mu of land under the names of the elderly couple, which was then handed over to the clan for allocation.

Next came the marriage arrangements for Liu Yushan and the others. All three had partners who were locals, introduced by their neighbors. Once the children in the family liked each other, Liu Yuxi would accompany Zhang Dani to inquire at each house. Of course, Liu Yuxi inquired even more privately. Since there were no major problems, the marriages were arranged one by one.

After the first three got married, the pressure fell on Liu Yuxi. Fortunately, she was not old, her situation was special, and her family was not in a hurry, so they let her take her time finding someone.
