After Li Huai was promoted, he was entitled to a larger house according to his rank, but he didn't live in the family housing much anyway, and changing houses would be troublesome, so he didn't ask for one.

The military region leaders were also aware of their family situation and were even more satisfied with him.

The apartments in the family housing complex are always in short supply. Even though Li Huai only lives there occasionally, some people already have complaints. If he were to move to a bigger apartment, according to the regulations, no one would have any problems, but it would easily cause more dissatisfaction among people.

Being a leader can be difficult sometimes. In the eyes of his superiors, Li Huai's behavior was very pragmatic.

Sun Shengli was transferred to the military region as deputy division commander, so naturally he was allocated housing.

Fortunately, the rank of deputy division commander was not low, so he was assigned a three-bedroom apartment.

On the day Wu Mei and her family moved, Zhao Qinglan and her husband helped them from start to finish.

They arrived at the military region earlier, so they were naturally more familiar with it than Wu Mei and the others, making things easier for them.

Before her son's wedding, Wu Mei followed Zhao Qinglan's advice and bought a house in the provincial capital.

However, when her son got married, she decorated the house as their wedding room. Now that her husband has been transferred to the provincial capital, she has moved to the family apartment building with him. The house is temporarily left for her son and daughter-in-law to live in.

As for what happens after my son gets an apartment from his work unit, we'll talk about that later.

Zhao Qinglan was quite popular in the family quarters. With her introductions, Wu Mei quickly became acquainted with many of the other military wives in the neighborhood.

Wu Mei has been a military wife for many years and is very skilled at interacting with other military wives, so she quickly established herself in the family quarters.

She had actually lived in the military family quarters for many years and was already used to it. Later, because of her children and Zhao Qinglan's appreciation, she moved to the provincial capital. Now that she can live in a familiar environment again, she is happy.

Wu Mei's family has three bedrooms. She and her husband live in one, her daughter lives in another, and she originally planned to give the remaining bedroom to either her eldest or youngest son, since it wasn't appropriate to divide it directly between them.

Zhang Wenjing stepped forward again. "Mom, Sun Wen and I have a place to stay over there, thanks to you. This bedroom is for Sun Wu."

Her mother-in-law treated her well, and she wasn't ungrateful.

These words made Wu Mei feel extremely comfortable.

When she talked to Zhao Qinglan about these things, she couldn't stop praising Zhang Wenjing.

"Sister-in-law, look, if we just wait a little longer, we'll find a good match," Zhao Qinglan said with a smile.

"That's right. Luckily, I didn't pressure Sun Wen to find a partner and get married before."

You didn't not urge him, it's just that Sun Wen didn't listen, Zhao Qinglan thought to herself with amusement.

Sun Shengli and Li Huai started working together again, but they weren't as busy as before.

After all, he was only a deputy, and there were division commanders and political commissars above him. However, Sun Shengli did not feel much disappointment. Being able to move to the provincial capital and reunite with his family was the happiest thing for him.

Li Huai's position as deputy is quite important, but he's not as busy as before.

After the New Year, seeing that the overall situation was good, Zhao Qinglan started thinking about opening a new business in the provincial capital.

The building she and Zhang Yu owned has been rented out where possible, and the supermarket has started operating. Zhang Yu said the feedback has been very good.

The supermarket industry has no future decline in the next few decades; it's a business with long-term growth potential. She thought that her Lanxin could also open a supermarket.

Once you've secured all the necessary supply channels, the supermarket can be opened smoothly.

The private economy has developed rapidly in the past two years, and there is an increasing circulation of goods in the market.

Many tickets have been cancelled, and only a very few are still valid.

Now that many people have spare cash, they are starting to spend money, and supermarkets, with their novelty of allowing customers to freely choose, are likely to be welcomed by many.

Without hesitation, Zhao Qinglan immediately took Zhang Wenjing and began making preparations.

Since she was going to open it, she wanted to make it the first large supermarket in the provincial capital.

First, she chose a location for the supermarket. She bought an abandoned warehouse in the city and hired a construction team to rebuild and renovate it.

During the construction, she contacted Zhang Wenjing to source various damp goods.

Because of the military-civilian cooperation, Zhao Qinglan already had some supply resources. Some of the goods could be provided by these partners, and others could be introduced to others.

After two busy months, Zhao Qinglan finally got most of the work done and handed the rest over to Zhang Wenjing to continue following up, so she could finally get some rest.

Li Huai teased his wife, "You've been working like a workaholic these past two months."

"Ha, who am I doing this for? Isn't it all for our family?"

"Yes, yes, my wife is a great contributor to the family, I have to give you a proper thank you." After saying that, Li Huai came over and started massaging his wife's shoulders.

"Here, the key point, yes, this way, ah, this feels so good."

The children in the family have gotten used to their parents' clinginess and can now completely ignore them and continue doing their own thing.

Xiaoduo is currently a junior high school student. As the high school entrance exam approaches, the workload at school becomes heavier, and she gets home late at night.

Previously, the school did not have evening self-study sessions. Starting with Xiaoduo's junior high school class, the school added evening self-study sessions.

Zhao Qinglan was worried about her daughter's safety on her way home at night, so she always went to the school gate to pick her up.

In fact, Xiaoduo now rides her bicycle home, and she is accompanied by her classmates on the way back.

However, Zhao Qinglan was always afraid that something might happen to her daughter, so even if she didn't have time to go, someone from the family would always pick her up.

Whether it was Li Huai, or Da Wa and Er Wa, they had all done the job of picking people up.

If everyone hadn't thought the third child was too young, he would have come in handy too.

Because of this, Xiaoduo is envied by many classmates. Even though she is very low-key, Xiaoduo's daily clothes and food are still much better than most of her classmates.

Some people know that her mother is the owner of Junminhe, while others do not, but everyone knows that her family is well-off.

She comes from a well-off family and is so pampered; how can anyone not be envious?

Xiaoduo is pretty and has good grades. Not only in her own class, but also in other classes, boys have developed feelings for her.

If Xiaoduo didn't have someone pick her up every day, some boys would definitely be bold enough to make a move.

The second child goes to the same school as his older sister. Knowing how popular Xiaoduo is among the boys, he doesn't dare tell his parents, but he has complained to his older brother, the eldest child.

When Da Wa heard that some brat was eyeing his sister, he went to Xiao Duo's school for several days in a row.

If you see any boy looking at your sister, you should give him a cold stare back.

After entering high school, he grew even taller and is now almost 1.8 meters tall, which is quite tall for a boy and makes him very imposing.

His appearance scared away many boys who coveted the younger sister, but it also attracted the attention of many junior high and elementary school students.

When Xiaoduo went back to class, female classmates would ask her about her brother, and some even asked her to help them pass things. Xiaoduo found it hilarious; she never expected her brother to be so popular.

When the eldest brother learned of this, he was so frightened that he didn't dare to pick up his younger sister for a while, and the second brother took over the task.

Erwa touched his face, looking sullen.

"Sis, why am I not as popular with girls as my brother?"

Xiao Duo couldn't bear to discourage her younger brother, so she could only say, "Don't worry, there will be more in the future."

With her younger brother who only knows how to eat all day and seems like a slow-witted child who never grows up, she would prefer her older brother's type.
