When she mentioned it, Li Zhenhua was somewhat tempted. He had a strained relationship with his son, but he longed for a grandson.
Most of the people his age in the compound are now enjoying their grandchildren.
That is to say, for various reasons, he hasn't seen his grandchildren even once in many years, and it would be a lie to say that he doesn't miss them.
Normally, he wouldn't readily ask his son to bring his grandchildren over, but the Lunar New Year is a perfect excuse.
He didn't need to say much; he just needed to tell people to come back for the New Year.
Thinking of this, he looked at his wife.
"Then call them back. Thank you for taking care of this."
This was not what Yu Huimin had imagined.
Although she felt uncomfortable inside, she still forced a smile and said, "Don't worry, leave this to me."
Even after all this, Old Li was still willing to back down first.
She naturally didn't want her stepson's family to come back.
She can make a lot of trouble if she can't meet with either side, but if they do meet, all the things she did in the past might be exposed.
Therefore, she quickly contacted her informant again, but still couldn't get any useful information, so Yu Huimin was naturally unwilling to give up.
Having lost knowledge of her stepson's situation, it became much harder for her to scheme against him in many ways.
Since this person was not of any use, she decided to look for someone else who could be more useful.
Unfortunately, she was too far away from Li Huai, and since she relied on her husband's background to do things, it wasn't very convenient for her to act.
It had taken Ju a lot of effort to find such a suitable eyeliner.
Until a suitable replacement is found, she has no choice but to continue using the old people as a temporary solution.
When Li Zhenhua returned home for dinner that evening, he brought up something.
“I have to go to the Northwest Military Region for something. You don’t need to worry about letting them go home for the New Year. I’ll go there to see Li Huai and tell him in person.”
Yu Huimin's heart skipped a beat.
She hadn't even figured out how to stop Li Huai's family from coming back, and her husband was already going there on his own initiative?
Her husband's business was official; preventing him from leaving was far more difficult than stopping Li Huai and his group from going to the capital.
"Why so suddenly?" she asked, feigning curiosity.
"Things in the military don't always happen suddenly," Li Zhenhua said nonchalantly.
Actually, he was quite happy. Originally, he wasn't supposed to go on this mission, but he took the initiative after he learned that someone was needed.
His colleagues knew that his son was in the Northwest Military Region. The father and son hadn't seen each other for many years. He volunteered to go, and no one competed with him for the position.
How could Li Zhenhua not be happy? The thought of seeing his two grandsons whom he had never met before made him feel better than ever before.
Li Zhenhua did not plan to tell his son about this beforehand.
He mainly knew that his son disliked his own father very much, and he was afraid that if he told his son in advance, his son would hide the grandchildren, and he wouldn't be able to see them. So he had to launch a surprise attack.
Li Huai was unaware that his biological father was about to be born.
Perhaps because she felt she had confided in Zhao Qinglan too many times before, or perhaps because she was afraid that her husband would take his anger out on Zhao Qinglan again, Wei Hong endured it all alone, even though she felt very frustrated.
Battalion Commander Qu lost face that day and went home, only to find his wife doing the opposite of what he was supposed to do.
Wei Hong was heartbroken by her husband's behavior and had no desire to comfort him.
The couple grew tired of each other and began living apart again.
After resting at home for two days, Zhao Qinglan took the car that was taking the children into the city again.
Upon seeing her, Madam Sun quickly pulled her eldest daughter aside and began to express her worries.
"Qinglan, you said before that we should do a monthly accounting of the store and deposit the money into the credit union, but there is just too much money. I'm worried about sleeping at night because it's all in the store."
Over the past few days, she has accumulated several hundred yuan in the shop. She had never seen so much money before and was constantly worried that thieves would come to break in.
Zhao Qinglan hadn't taken a few hundred yuan seriously, but now that her mother had said that, she realized that a few hundred yuan was indeed a huge sum of money in those days.
If you deposit money once a month, it is indeed worrying to leave it at the store, since they don't have a safe like other stores. Rather than leaving it at the store and being anxious, it's better to deposit it every few days.
"Mom, I'll take Qingzhu to the credit union today to open a savings account for you and deposit the money. Once you have enough, deposit it into the savings account every three days."
Hearing that her daughter had an idea, Mrs. Sun finally felt relieved.
"Okay, I don't know anything about these things either. You can take Qingzhu and the others to do it."
While there weren't many customers in the shop yet, Zhao Qinglan left a little over thirty yuan as working capital, took all the rest of the money, and had her sister take her identification and other documents before the two sisters went to the credit union together.
On the way, Zhao Qingzhu clutched her bag tightly, staring nervously at anyone who approached.
Zhao Qinglan was both amused and exasperated by her sister's reaction, but she could understand it nonetheless.
Two or three hundred yuan now has the purchasing power of tens of thousands of yuan in later generations, no wonder my sister was so nervous.
This time, she opened the account in her younger sister Qingzhu's name. There was no other way; her mother didn't understand, and her younger sister was still a minor, so she could only open the account in her second sister's name first.
When Zhao Qingzhu received the newly issued bankbook and saw the amount on it, a smile spread across her face.
"From now on, there will only be more and more numbers on this, Qingzhu, keep up the good work."
"Yes, sis, I will definitely do my best!" Zhao Qingzhu said with great enthusiasm.
