After Zhao Qinglan's family got a refrigerator, some people asked if they could put some of their food in her refrigerator.
Without hesitation, Zhao Qinglan decisively refused.
Just kidding, she bought the refrigerator to improve her own family's living standards, not to benefit everyone else.
If she agrees, then everyone will want to stuff things into their refrigerator. So who will she agree to and who will she not?
If someone else puts too much stuff in the refrigerator, then who will end up with it?
People who are shameless enough to ask questions are usually just looking to take advantage of others.
Being rejected, he naturally had some reservations about Zhao Qinglan, thinking she was too petty, but he didn't dare say anything.
Wu Mei didn't say anything, but after everyone else left, Zhao Qinglan stopped her.
“Sister-in-law, others are others, and you are you. What’s our relationship? If you have any leftovers that need to be stored, just bring them over.”
They got along well because they knew Wu Mei wasn't the kind of person who was tactless and had no bottom line.
Zhao Qinglan also believed that Wu Mei would only use it occasionally.
"Okay, I won't be polite when I need it." Wu Mei accepted the favor.
When the refrigerator was brought back, the eldest child was in school, and the second child and Xiaoduo also went along for the fun.
When they got home, they were overjoyed to find the refrigerator had arrived.
By this time, Zhao Qinglan had already filled the refrigerator with meat and vegetables, and the children opened the door and began to excitedly examine it.
"Don't leave it on all the time, or you'll let all the air conditioning go out," Zhao Qinglan said irritably.
Having a refrigerator at home couldn't be more convenient.
The same goes for snack shops. Before they had refrigerators, they didn't dare to buy too much of any kind of ingredient, for fear that it wouldn't be fresh.
With a refrigerator, at least we can finally store our things.
As the weather warms up and there are more types of vegetables available, their family's mala tang (spicy hot pot) has also been updated with new dishes.
Even after the discount ended, Mala Tang (a type of spicy hot pot) continued to sell well.
They won't consider launching anything new for the next few months.
Just two dishes, wontons and spicy hot pot, are enough to keep them busy.
During this period, Zhao Qinglan only went to the city once, and Li Huai drove her there. Since she hadn't been there for so long, the dividends she had accumulated had been kept in the store.
For example, the money to buy the refrigerator this time came from her dividends.
After the snack shop started to make more money, Zhao Qinglan didn't want her mother and sister to work so hard, so she suggested that they hire someone to help out at the shop.
Regardless of whether it was the Sun family, or Zhao Qingzhu and Zhao Qingju, they all resolutely refused.
In their eyes, their current life is already paradise compared to the past.
I'm not afraid of hardship or fatigue when I'm busy making money for my own shop, so why would I need to spend money to hire people?
If they didn't hire anyone, Zhao Qinglan suggested that they close the shop for a few days each month, so they could at least rest for a day. Otherwise, they would never be able to earn enough money to last forever.
The mother and her two daughters took this suggestion to heart.
Finally, they agreed to take two days off a month and close the store for a break every two weeks.
In the afternoon, the eldest child went to school again, while the second child and Xiaoduo went outside to play.
With nothing to do, Zhao Qinglan continued reading her textbook.
Because she studies very diligently, she has already finished the first-year junior high school textbooks and is now looking at the second-year textbooks. Her progress is already quite good.
However, the thought of the market returning to its previous high levels by the end of the year made Zhao Qinglan feel dazed.
When the college entrance examination is reinstated, she will at most be able to finish studying the junior high school textbooks, and that's only because English is not emphasized now, so she has less pressure.
As for the high school curriculum, Chinese is a bit easier, but the rest are hard to say.
Should she sign up and try taking the exam?
She looked down at her stomach and shook her head.
She's being silly. She'll have just given birth, and we don't even know what the situation will be like then. We'll see when the time comes.
She felt very gratified knowing that Wei Hong had been studying diligently.
Sister Wei Hong prepared earlier and more thoroughly than many others. As long as she performs normally during the college entrance examination, she will definitely be able to get into university.
She didn't know Wei Hong in her past life, nor did she know what her situation was.
But surely this life won't be worse than the last, right?
Thinking of Sun Wen, the eldest son of Wu Mei's neighbor next door, who will graduate from high school this summer, she felt that she should subtly encourage the boy to study more.
After she finished lost in thought, she lowered her head and continued reading.
I was working on a math problem when the phone rang at home.
Zhao Qinglan immediately went over and answered it.
"Hey, oh, Sister Sui, what's up?"
"What? When did this happen?"
After hanging up the phone, Zhao Qinglan's expression became somewhat serious.
She had long forgotten about Wang Dazhi.
It is said that Wang Dazhi somehow injured someone while in labor camp, so his sentence was extended. Sister Sui just told her that Wang Dazhi ran away from the farm, and fearing that Wang Dazhi would cause her trouble, she reminded her.
Has Wang Dazhi gone mad?
He ran away from the farm, so he'll be a fugitive from now on.
These days, you need a letter of introduction or something when you go out. Where could he possibly go?
But knowing that this guy had come out again, she was actually a little worried.
After all, Wang Dazhi never reflects on his own mistakes; he only blames others.
And she did indeed play a role in his imprisonment.
If Wang Dazhi resents her, that would be perfectly normal.
Zhao Qinglan was also very fortunate that her family lived in the military family quarters, where outsiders could not easily enter.
However, considering that her mother and sister were both in the city, she felt she had to remind them to be more vigilant.
The snack shop didn't have a phone, so she couldn't immediately remind them.
All I could do was write a letter, thinking I'd ask the cooks who were going into town to deliver it tomorrow.
She was in a bad mood because of Wang Dazhi's matter.
Ever since his wife became pregnant, Li Huai has become increasingly eager to come home.
He would always tell his wife to save any chores around the house that he was capable of doing and that weren't urgent, so that he could do them when he got back.
As usual, he rushed home after get off work that day.
Once he entered the door, he immediately sensed that his wife was not very happy.
"Qinglan, what's wrong?"
There's nothing wrong with talking about Wang Dazhi.
Zhao Qinglan spoke directly.
"Wang Dazhi ran away."
"They ran away?" Li Huai was stunned.
“He ran away from the farm. Sister Sui called to tell me and reminded me to be careful.”
Li Huai wasn't stupid; he instantly understood the meaning behind the words.
Wang Dazhi is really persistent.
If it weren't for the law, he would have loved to kill this guy right then and there.
However, he could only comfort his wife on the surface. "Qinglan, don't worry. He's so far away from us, and we live in the military base. Even if he comes, I'll make sure he doesn't leave alive."
Zhao Qinglan smiled, and her mood improved.
"Actually, I'm not too worried about our family. It's just that my mom and Qingzhu live in the city. I'm afraid that if Wang Dazhi really comes looking for us, he might seek revenge on my mom and Qingzhu if he can't find us."
That is indeed a problem, Li Huai frowned and pondered.
