Zhao Qinglan originally wanted to keep her college admission a low-key affair.
But by a twist of fate, everyone in the unit found out anyway. It wasn't the wives who apologized who spread the word; they were the ones who wished no one knew.
However, when Zhao Qinglan confronted those military wives, someone saw it, and that's how the news spread.
Everyone was surprised that Zhao Qinglan got into university, and even more shocked that she didn't plan to go.
Some people even asked Li Huai to confirm if it was true.
This matter has indeed attracted a lot of attention and discussion within the group.
Even Wei Hong, Sanwa's godmother, joked when she came to visit that she was now a "celebrity" in the whole troupe.
Because the story of Zhao Qinglan, a military wife, getting into university was so legendary, it gradually spread to the military region.
After learning the news through various channels, Li Zhenhua had mixed feelings.
Zhao Qinglan, whom he and his wife looked down upon back then, turned out to be so formidable.
Is it possible that he is not as good as his son at judging people?
The news of the resumption of the college entrance examination caused a sensation not only in Zhao Qinglan and her group, but throughout the entire country.
Even Zhu Kexin and Xue Jingxue temporarily put aside their marital conflicts and devoted themselves to intense review.
However, when the results came out, Xue Jingxue received an admission notice, while Zhu Kexin failed the exam.
Xue Jingxue does have some merits, otherwise Zhu Kexin wouldn't have taken a liking to him in the first place.
Having finally resumed the college entrance examination, Xue Jingxue, who was ambitious and determined, applied to a university in the capital.
To be honest, Zhu Kexin would be happy if both she and her husband got into university, but she wasn't so happy that only her husband got in.
She felt that the distance between her and her husband was growing, which was not something she wanted to see.
Therefore, she made a decision to go to Beijing to study with her husband.
Xue Jingxue was naturally unwilling, but he couldn't shake off his wife, so he could only agree verbally while making other plans in his heart.
Once the admission notices arrived, Wei Hong and Sun Wen wouldn't be able to stay at home for long.
Because the exams were held in winter, the first batch of university students after the resumption of the college entrance examination enrolled in the spring after the Lunar New Year.
Knowing that Wei Hong would be leaving after the New Year, Zhao Qinglan insisted that she spend the New Year at her own home this year. After all, Wei Hong was now the godmother of her third child, so they were relatives.
When Sanwa turned 100 days old, Wei Hong gave Sanwa a gift and a red envelope, which was considered a formal recognition of them as godparents.
There wasn't a big celebration for the baby's 100th day. It was just Zhao Qinglan's family, Sun Shi and her two daughters, Wu Mei's family, and Wei Hong.
Everyone got together and had a lively meal.
Zhao Qinglan and her family also went to the city to take a family photo, and of course, there were also individual 100-day photos of the three children.
Li Huai, mindful of his wife's recovery, waited until their third child was 100 days old before finally indulging in meat.
After being away for so long, he almost broke his wife's bones.
Zhao Qinglan found men who had been starving for a long time to be terrifying, but fortunately, she could enjoy it most of the time, so she just endured it.
However, this time, the couple took precautions and did not plan to have any more siblings for their third child.
Zhao Qinglan hadn't prepared anything; Li Huai went to the regiment's medical room to get her condoms.
He asked for a lot at once, and the doctor in the clinic gave him the things with a look that was incredibly meaningful.
However, Li Huai was thick-skinned. For the sake of his own happiness, he figured that being looked at a few more times wouldn't hurt him.
Fearing that what he got from the infirmary wouldn't be enough, he asked his good friend to send him some more.
Zhang Yu was stunned when he heard his friend's request.
However, I did help in the end.
When the package arrived, Li Huai wasn't home; Zhao Qinglan received it. Upon seeing what the package contained and where it came from, she blushed for a long time.
Not long after the baby's 100th day, it was time for the Chinese New Year.
Just like last year, Mrs. Sun and her two daughters arrived at the family compound early.
After a year of hard work in their business, they have made a fortune, and they are preparing even more abundant and plentiful New Year's goods.
That year, the country underwent tremendous changes, and everyone felt they saw hope, their faces beaming with bright smiles.
Although Wei Hong spent the New Year with Zhao Qinglan, she still slept in her own dormitory because there was simply not enough room at Zhao Qinglan's house.
She was going to study in Beijing after the New Year, and she had already resigned from her job as a teacher during the winter break. Fortunately, the principal was understanding of her situation and allowed her to stay in the dormitory.
People who didn't think highly of Wei Hong before now think she's very lucky.
Such comments naturally reached Zheng Xiufen and Qu Jianshe quite a bit.
Zheng Xiufen felt increasingly aggrieved, while Qu Jianshe, though outwardly stubborn, secretly regretted his actions.
It's just that he and Zheng Xiufen have been married for quite some time, but Zheng Xiufen's belly hasn't shown any signs of pregnancy, and she doesn't have a job yet. Now he's even more critical and talkative than his ex-wife.
He also began to think about how good Wei Hong was; if they hadn't divorced, wouldn't he have a college student wife now?
Although Qu Jianshe didn't voice these thoughts, Zheng Xiufen could still vaguely sense them and felt more and more that she had married the wrong person.
But she was determined to walk the path she had chosen, no matter how difficult it was.
In mid-December, Zhao Qinglan sent out several batches of items.
There were gifts for Old Master Dou and Zhang Yu in Beijing, and also for Sui Wenjing's family.
After buying the electric fan, she didn't buy any other big-ticket items for the family, and she saved all the dividends she received afterward.
However, she also has a goal for next year: to buy a few more useful items for the house.
As the family grew, the small table they used to eat at was no longer enough, so Zhao Qinglan bought a large table.
Now, even if there are many people at the New Year's Eve dinner, they can all sit at one table.
After the 25th of the twelfth lunar month, their house began to be filled with various fragrant aromas every day.
Erwa really loves Chinese New Year. For many days in a row, there are endless delicious foods that are never the same. He really wishes that every day could be Chinese New Year.
The family's new clothes were also bought by Zhao Qinglan when she took some time to go to the city.
She also didn't forget to send Wei Hong two new outfits, saying they were New Year's gifts for Wei Hong going to university.
Wei Hong was incredibly moved.
Sun Wen and Zhao Qinglan also gave the child a new set of clothes, and now Sun Wen likes her aunt even more.
On Lunar New Year's Eve, the house was filled with laughter and joy.
As dishes were served one by one, and everyone took their seats, they exchanged blessings and began to express their hopes for the New Year.
That year, the family's savings multiplied several times.
That year, she had a third child, and she even took the college entrance exam and received an admission notice.
Zhao Qinglan was very satisfied with this and hoped that each year would be better than the last!
