Days passed by little by little with the passage of time.
As the new year begins and the excitement fades, everyone is getting back on track.
Chu Wanfang took care of the child in the family compound as usual. Shen Qiaoyue went to work during the day and played with the child and relaxed when she came back in the evening. That's how the days passed slowly.
Liu Xinlan resigned and stayed at home, sleeping until she naturally woke up every day. Because she was unemployed, Liu Xinlan argued with Xu Qianli several times.
Liu Xinlan didn't know why, but she just couldn't control her temper and felt that Xu Qianli didn't value her.
Xu Qianli was very busy with a lot of work, and sometimes he couldn't control his emotions and argued with Liu Xinlan a few times.
In a fit of anger, Liu Xinlan kicked Xu Qianli out of her home, leaving Xu Qianli with no choice but to live in the army dormitory.
Shen Qiaoyue and Lu Chen persuaded both sides, and only then were they able to reconcile the two.
It's often said that relationships that never involve arguments are not good. After Liu Xinlan and Xu Qianli reconciled, their relationship improved.
Shen Qiaoyue and Lu Chen have never quarreled because they are emotionally stable and have a good relationship. Lu Chen always gives in to Shen Qiaoyue.
Shen Qiaoyue argued with her mother several times about the child, with her sister-in-law Qian Luoshui and Lu Chen acting as mediators.
Under Lu Chen's persuasion, Shen Qiaoyue always apologized first.
When she apologized, Chu Wanfang said a few more things, and the argument started again.
Shen Qiaoyue felt that her mother was too good to Danian and neglected Xiaonian, so she asked her mother to treat the two children equally. However, Chu Wanfang felt that Shen Qiaoyue and Lu Chen treated their daughter much better, so she felt that Danian was being neglected.
Chu Wanfang realized that she had neglected her eldest daughter and didn't want Shen Qiaoyue to follow her path.
Shen Qiaoyue did not feel that she was being biased; she treated both children the same.
The child's problems could erupt at any moment.
They would argue and then naturally make up a couple of days later.
We've learned from our arguments that avoiding topics related to the children allows us to get along well.
Several months have passed in the blink of an eye, and the children have gradually grown up during this time.
Xia Xiaoli, Chen Xiaohua, and Wei Xinxin returned from the island, and Zhang Dali sent people to pick them up.
It happened to be the weekend, and Shen Qiaoyue was at home taking care of the children.
Shen Qiaoyue was playing with her child in the yard. It was a very comfortable time when the spring sun was shining brightly.
Zhang Dali returned from outside carrying Xia Xiaoli's luggage.
"Xiaoli is back?" Liu Xinlan saw Xia Xiaoli walk in first. She noticed that Xia Xiaoli's hair had grown longer, and she was wearing two long braids. Her skin had also become much darker.
"Xiaoli is back, how was it?"
Upon hearing the voice, everyone immediately went up to greet him.
Xia Xiaoli responded enthusiastically to everyone.
"I'm back, thank you everyone for your concern." Xia Xiaoli seemed different from when she left; she appeared much more confident.
Xiang Shulan handed the child to the old lady Zhao next to her for a moment, then excitedly ran over.
Seeing Xia Xiaoli's appearance, with tears welling up in her eyes, she took Xia Xiaoli's hand and hugged her, saying, "Why are you so thin? Did you suffer a lot over there?"
He treated Xia Xiaoli like his own younger sister.
Xia Xiaoli hugged Xiang Shulan, who looked just like everyone in the family compound, like her sister-in-law and brother.
"Sister-in-law, I'm fine. It's just that the sun is very strong over there, so I've gotten a lot tanned," Xia Xiaoli said gently, patting Xiang Shulan's back.
Xiang Shulan loosened her embrace, looked Xia Xiaoli up and down, and nodded with satisfaction.
Xia Xiaoli, who used to be a shy and unsmiling girl, has become a very cheerful person.
"Sister-in-law, Sister Qiaoyue, Sister Xinlan, thank you for your concern, thank you everyone for your concern. The people on the island are very nice, they are very friendly and treat us very well! I've just gotten a bit tanned and gained a lot of weight there. I ate all kinds of things like coconut chicken soup and seafood."
Xia Xiaoli felt that she hadn't lost weight; in fact, she had probably gained a little weight. Apart from being a bit darker, there were basically no other changes.
Zhang Hehua looked at Xia Xiaoli. Although the girl was tanned, she was still very pretty.
He thought to himself, "Such a beautiful, gentle, and kind girl, I wish I could be her daughter-in-law."
Xia Xiaoli looked at Liu Xinlan, and moved, she walked up to Liu Xinlan, bowed to her, and thanked her.
"What are you doing?" Liu Xinlan quickly helped Xia Xiaoli up.
"Sister-in-law Xinlan, thank you for giving me this opportunity to learn. I have learned a lot from Xiaohua and Sister Xinxin. If you hadn't fought for this opportunity for me, I really wouldn't be able to learn such good knowledge now."
Xia Xiaoli knew that it was Liu Xinlan who made her who she was.
During her time on the island, Xia Xiaoli became even more determined in her heart.
"Opportunity favors the prepared mind. If you are prepared, opportunity will come to you. The person you should thank is not me, but Sister Miaoya. She taught you some basic nursing skills, which allowed you to learn more quickly."
Watching Xia Xiaoli grow up, Liu Xinlan thought of her past self.
Xia Xiaoli nodded, "Yes, it was thanks to the help of Sister Xinlan and Sister Miaoya that I had the opportunity to pass the nursing exam. I'm going to the clinic for my internship tomorrow, and I'll definitely work hard."
"I brought back some local candies for everyone, coconut candies, they're very sweet, please try some!" Xia Xiaoli took out a bag of candies from her luggage and shared them with everyone.
At that time, candy was in short supply, and Xia Xiaoli spent so much money to buy so much candy to share with everyone, which was truly remarkable.
Xia Xiaoli gave a small bag to Shen Qiaoyue's family, and Liu Xinlan and Xu Miaoya's families also each received a small bag.
They were given a few of the others, but they couldn't bear to eat them; they saved them to take home for their children.
This candy is a really good thing; you can't buy it without candy coupons.
In the evening, Zhang Hehua prepared dinner, and Li Qingming ate dinner after finishing his training.
"You're back. Wash your hands and eat." Since her divorce and coming to live with her son in the military, Zhang Hehua has been living a pretty good life.
It was her son's marriage that caused her so much worry.
Chief Bai thought highly of Li Qingming and asked Political Commissar Liao to speak to Zhang Hehua, hoping that Li Qingming could get to know Chief Bai's daughter, Bai Jinghao, better and see if they could become a couple.
As everyone knows, Chief Bai is seriously ill, and the only person he is worried about is his daughter, Bai Jinghao.
Zhang Hehua was also in a dilemma; her own child didn't like that child, and she couldn't force him.
Besides, Bai Jinghao doesn't like Li Qingming either.
Zhang Hehua served rice to Li Qingming, and when they sat down to eat together, Zhang Hehua looked at Li Qingming as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.
"Mom, is there something you want to tell me?" Seeing his mother's hesitant expression, Li Qingming asked her while serving Zhang Hehua some food.
