Check In System In The 70s

83

The first day of the Chinese new year, young people usually travel to the homes of their elders. But here the Xu family had no elders anymore. If anything, it was only his only Uncle.

So this is where Kiki and her sister's goal is to spend the new year.

But before going there, Kiki took the initiative to wish her father a happy new year first.

Stepmothers were never called as mothers, so Kiki and Xu Jie were under no obligation to honor her as elders.

Although angry, but Kiki thought if he rarely came home, so it would be nice to give good memories at home.

"Dad, happy new year," said Kiki smiling at her father, Xu Xin.

Xu Xin greeted the greetings and said wisely, "Happy new year, may longevity, and this year is a happy new year for you all year long."

"Thank you dad, may you also be happy and have plenty of sustenance to send me money this year huh, hehehe," Kiki said with a subtle insinuation. Her eyes were full of bright smiles but Xu Xin knew what Kiki meant.

"Yes, equally," Xu Xin said with an unsightly face.

Whatever it is, this is a new year where neither face-masks will affect life for the next year.

Since Kiki was not married, she was entitled to get a red envelope from her elders.To ease the tension, Xu Xin gave Kiki a red envelope.

"Wow red envelopes, for me dad?"kiki said happily.

"Yes this is a red envelope Don't look at the contents but this is a form of paternal affection for you" Xu xin said seriously.There was a sense of pride in her heart when she said that. whatever happens they are children and biological fathers who are related to blood.

"Is that so? thank you dad" Kiki said again

In front of her father, Kiki did not hesitate to open a red envelope that actually only contained 50 cents.

"Ahh fifty cents?this father is very precious to me" Kiki said in a dismissive tone.

Xu Xin did not expect that Kiki would open her red envelope right now. But he also did not suspect that the contents inside the envelope were only 50 cents.

He was a bit embarrassed because earlier, Xu Lin who received the envelope earlier shouted in excitement because the contents of the envelope were 200 rupiah.

"Oh dad, this is also a form of your affection for the next year. I'm 50 cents and he's 200 rupiahs, I know who's in your heart right now" Kiki said smiling again.

Kiki already has so many red envelopes she hasn't opened from the check-in system.But for a child, the red envelopes from her own family have different meanings. This is a manifestation of their affection.

But we know what happened.

"Kiki, let's go to uncle's house. I think the red envelope in uncle's house will definitely be better than this," Xu Jie said with a wounded heart.

Xu Jie did not say the new year's greetings to her own father but sent that deathly gaze to her father contemptuously.

This form of sincere affection is actually only fifty cents, how foolish they were in the past who expected love from him who was clearly inclined to his stepson.

Xu Xin felt she was denigrated again and hurriedly said, "Kiki, I think her red envelopes are swapped, they are envelopes for the children who will come later. Oh, it's yours, right?" Said again.

She squeezes two pieces of banknotes into a new envelope and thinks Kiki doesn't see them.

"Dad, we're all adults and we know what's going on. Father, we go first," said Xu Jie again who was now directed at her still dumbfounded father.

"Yes dad, I can't buy clothes for 50 cents right" Kiki said seriously.

If the father does not have money, Kiki will understand this but the problem is, stepchildren get three times as much as real children. Only a naive person isn't annoyed by that.

In the eyes of his children, he was a loser. He had no self-respect as a father even in the new year.

Xu Xin flinched but she did not speak either, only in her heart she asked, "When can two originally sweet children turn into grumpy children?"

As soon as the two brothers were nowhere to be seen again, Xu Xin turned her gaze to the wife and asked in a serious tone.

"Why are my children only 50 cents and your children 200 rupiahs? Why?"

"Xu Xin, when do you care about the red envelope money? A few years ago, you also just kept quiet and didn't care when I put two cents in it?" said the stepmother again indifferently.

"What's? Two cents? You... You only gave the kids two cents?" Really, Xu Xin had never asked about the contents of the red envelope in the new year.

For her the woman she remarries is a good woman and she doesn't need to take care of the red envelope issue.

But now he knew why the children underestimated him. It's only two cents, my God. Xu Lin every new year would earn at least 100 rupiah but...

His anger is increasing.

Soon this couple's fight happened again just because of the red envelope. While the two brothers who had just left did not know anything. They both set their feet to go to uncle's house.

"Sister, if you've been working somewhere else, I think it's better that you look for a bike. Brother, I have to be honest with you. Actually I'm in the village have one for me, but you live in the city just on foot?"

Kiki explains that she speculated there and made some money, but she made excuses for getting her monthly submissions from dad.

If the older cousin really took the order of soap in the village, it was not impossible for him to know if rumors about it would be heard.

So it was better for him to explain first so that there would be no misunderstandings in the future.

"Kiki? You're very brave to do that. What if you get arrested one day?" said Xu Jie who felt her knees soften. She did not expect that her sister was so brave. But he also thought if not brave, how could people live.

But Xu jie still felt Kiki did not deserve to do that because she was female.

"Sister, I dare to do it because I can, but I don't want Big Brother to do it either because it's better Brother is working in the factory, okay?" kiki said again.

Kiki also explained how the punishment will be obtained if caught speculation. It was not that Kiki had underestimated this older brother of hers, but she knew how this older brother of hers had a gentle nature. So a rough job like selling on the black market was not a suitable place for him to do.

Unknowingly the two have arrived again at the uncle's house, how some children have come to wish the uncle and aunt happy new year.

Uncle and aunt had two grandchildren, so more children came to see each other.

The sound of children is so noisy in the living room, but this is the excitement of the new year.

At the guest table you will find only jars of sunflower seeds, hotcakes, and candy.

"Uncle, aunt, cousin sister-in-law," Kiki said to everyone.

Two of her cousins soon turned their heads, they already knew Kiki because of Kiki's more frequent arrival lately, so they smiled and greeted her with an aunt's greeting.

"Auntie, Uncle, happy new year," the two said with a sweet smile. They know Kiki's aunt is the one who likes to give them candy.

Kiki smiled and pinched both cheeks. They could not be said to be fat, but if pinched still felt a little meat.

Soon Kiki took out 2 red envelopes in her pocket and said, "happy niece's new year."

"Oh there's a red envelope? thank you aunt" said the two again happily keeping the red envelope in her own pocket.

"The same" said Kiki who was also happy with these two children.

"Kiki, there's no need for a red envelope, you're still unmarried, too" the aunt said unnaturally. Unmarried people are not required to give red envelopes.

But Kiki quickly said, "this year I have money, so I want to spoil my two nephews" Kiki said again.

Xu Jie smiled wryly as she was the one who had no money here, but soon she thought everything would change if she could work in the county.

Soon the children go to follow their friends to say the new year in another house.

While Kiki and her brother talked for some time there.

"Kiki, your soap is getting a welcome. The director of the income and procurement cooperative wants to order a thousand pieces first. Is your village able to make it in three fragrances?" said the first cousin enthusiastically.

He agreed with that one penny, and this was also another income for his own family apart from the salary earned in the income and procurement cooperatives.But could the Qingyuan village accept such a large order.

"Can, brother. Don't worry" Kiki said.

But Kiki mentioned if she wanted to deliver another item in soap, but this was their secret.

"Whatis that? Say," said the cousin enthusiastically.

"Sister, actually besides soap, I've been researching things like hand and body lotion. Oh, here's an example."

Kiki does make hand and body lotions, which she learned from in cosmetics books. There were three levels actually, but for the promotion this time he only used the initial level. But hand and body lotion is still equivalent to hand and body lotion in the era of 21.

Its usefulness, keeping the body moisture of the wearer, long-term use will also make dull skin more radiant.

Not only that, Kiki also made deodorant in gel form. In addition to effectively repel body odor, but it will also keep your body fresh for 24 hours.

Within that timeframe, it was guaranteed there would be no smell of sweat.

"These two things, I didn't hand over to the village, but I wanted to sell them myself. Don't know how Big Brother talked about this matter with the director. I just want this matter to be official, not referred to as speculation" Kiki said.

Kiki also explained the price. The price of the product is still more expensive than ordinary soap, but this is something that can only be purchased abroad. So far, there have been no similar products from within the country.

"Kiki, are these two things you also made it?" said the unbelieving sister-in-law.

They are women, and women rarely think about such things. They are more likely to think about kitchen problems and how to adjust income and expenses, which is what they usually think.

But Kiki instead thought of making things that he thought were unusual.

"Sister-in-law, everyone should study independently, whether they are women or men. I'm sure one day our country will move forward and continue to grow. We as citizens have to pick that up and get ready" Kiki said.

Uncle was a man who always looked ahead, and now he instantly praised Kiki for his advanced gaze.

"If it's true, the country won't always be like this. The wind will have a chance for change. It's okay, Uncle will talk about this matter with the director," said his Uncle again.

"Thank you, Uncle. I know Uncle will always support me," Kiki said smilingly.

In the end, they talked about the matter of Xu Jie coming out of KK.

Uncle said, Kiki's own father has not said agree or not. But Kiki mentioned the matter of the quarrel last night, and she was sure her father would soon change his mind thanks to the encouragement of a greedy stepmother.

"But Kiki, what if there's no work for your sister in the county?" aunt Xu said with worry.

"Auntie, don't worry. I know we'll find a way" said Kiki confidently.

"Thank God if there is one if not, I can find a job for Xu jie at the income and procurement cooperative later"

Of course, on condition that someone stops and sells their work.

Kiki agrees, the uncle's family is still better than his own.

In the end, they all spent time at uncle's house for the new year.

Only then did Xu Jie remember that they were actually planning to go to the county. Although the work was not yet clear, but Kiki said that they could see and think about which factory Xu Jie wanted to visit in the future.

"Kiki, let's get on the bike. It's still the new year and the bus is not running" their cousin said.

"Yes, cousin sister, I still have 2 bike tickets. Can you help me get a bike for my sister?" kiki said, who almost forgot.

"Ah, you actually still have 2 more tickets?"of course this second cousin was surprised to hear that some tickets were packed to be sent as wedding gifts early but actually Kiki still had 2 more tickets.

Ohh only then did he realize that Kiki was of course thinking about her own brother compared to her who was only a cousin. How could there not be a ticket for Xu jie right.

"Yes, if I have a television ticket, why not 3 bikes? Hahaha." said Kiki, handing over the two bike tickets to her cousin's sister. One ticket can be sold, another to buy a bike.

Kiki also handed over another Rp200 as an additional fee, which was hurriedly rejected by her cousin's sister.

"You've given me a lot of tickets and a pair of watches. I'll sell this bike ticket, and the money can still buy a bike for your brother, right?" said the second cousin with a embarrassed face. This is just a little help for Kiki. While what Kiki gave her was something she couldn't look for in the past year, otherwise she might have gotten married earlier.

Xu jie was no longer ashamed, she also wished for more work to support her younger sister in the future.

Meanwhile Kiki knew the goodwill of others, and she did not say that anymore. Soon, this brother and sister went to the county on their Uncle's bike.
