Chapter 187 Surprise and Happiness



Having shared the important events of the future with a clear conscience, and without letting her husband dwell on the tragedies of their previous lives, Zhao Qinglan was in a better mood than ever before.

She felt completely relieved.

People around you can always sense whether a person is in a good or bad mood.

Zhao Qinglan's beaming face prompted her colleagues to tease her.

"What happy event has happened to Teacher Zhao that makes him so happy?"

Huh? Zhao Qinglan was taken aback for a moment before quickly saying, "Can't my husband make me happy?"

"Oh my, I didn't know Deputy Commander Li had this side to him."

Several teachers laughed, while some felt envious.

Knowing that his motherland would become very powerful in the future, Li Huai became more confident and composed.

But the thought of his wife mentioning that there would be war next year gave him a sense of urgency.

Although I don't know if they will be sent to the front lines, it's always good to be prepared. It seems I should suggest that the regimental commander strengthen their training.

Coincidentally, because of the previous incident involving enemy agents, Sun Shengli had felt that the soldiers in his regiment should train hard, and he had been putting that into practice ever since.

Now Li Huai has submitted a training plan on his own initiative. After he reviewed and approved it, he had the whole team implement it.

The soldiers of the entire regiment were living in misery and secretly complained about the instigator countless times.

Li Huai, who could have been comfortably working in his office, always appeared at the training grounds, training with the soldiers below.

If even a deputy regimental-level officer like him is so diligent, then the officers under him can't afford to slack off either.

Seeing his subordinates working so diligently, Sun Shengli felt incredibly gratified.

Because of training, Li Huai no longer goes home for lunch and returns late in the afternoon.

However, Zhao Qinglan knew why her husband was upset this time. With a sigh, she could only try her best to take good care of the family so that her husband wouldn't have to worry about it.

When the time came to be notified, Zhao Qinglan went to a colleague's house to attend the wedding and, like everyone else, gave a gift.

Weddings these days are much simpler than those in later generations. A couple simply takes vows to become husband and wife in the presence of leaders and relatives.

The wedding ceremony was simple, but it was also very festive and lively.

Since the entire regiment had intensified their training this time, Sun didn't suspect anything.

However, as the weather warmed up, Mrs. Sun spent more time sitting outside.

Back in the village, whenever they weren't working, everyone loved to sit together and chat. Sun Shi shared this hobby.

However, she was never really free before, as there was always endless chores to do around the house.

Now, she only helps her daughter take care of her grandson, who is easy to take care of. When she's not cooking or doing housework, she has a lot of free time.

She couldn't just sit at home listening to the radio all the time, so she would push her little grandson and take her second child out for a stroll.

When I meet other military spouses and their families, I also chat with them.

People in the family quarters knew she was Zhao Qinglan's mother, so they treated her quite politely.

Over time, she also found a few people she got along with in the family quarters.

As for her second daughter's marriage, Madam Sun was naturally concerned. As their relationship deepened, she began to inquire about suitable blind dates in the community.

Women, especially older women, love to act as matchmakers and arrange marriages.

After asking so many questions, Mrs. Sun had already narrowed down her choices to a few good candidates.

However, since she was the woman, she naturally couldn't bring it up herself. But whenever she got home, she would pull her daughter Zhao Qinglan aside and discuss in detail what this person was like and what was so good about that person.

After hearing this many times, Zhao Qinglan began to understand the eligible single young men in the group.

Wei Hong wrote to Zhao Qinglan quite frequently, and Zhao Qinglan also enjoyed communicating with her often.

Through Wei Hong, she also learned about many current situations in Beijing.

Because Li Huai was busy with training, he forgot about the bicycle ticket he had promised his wife.

Fortunately, Zhao Qinglan managed to get one herself.

Training can't keep you constantly on edge.

When Li Huai finally had a break, his family went into the city to relax.

I ate at a state-run restaurant, watched a movie, and bought a new bicycle.

Li Huai was thinking of buying it for his wife, so he planned to choose a smaller women's bicycle. However, Zhao Qinglan thought that the whole family could use the bicycle, so she insisted on buying a more commonly used model.

The bicycle was too big to fit in the trunk, so it had to be strapped to the jeep.

When they returned to the residential area with their bicycles, they naturally attracted attention again.

If the bicycle weren't a bit too big for Da Wa, he would have been eager to ride it.

If the eldest child can't ride, then even if the second child and Xiaoduo wanted to, they couldn't.

Seeing how much the children were looking forward to it, Zhao Qinglan had no choice but to agree to let them ride the bicycle when they were older and able to handle it.

The eldest and second children wished they could grow up overnight.

Even if they can't ride, it doesn't stop the older brothers from being proud in front of their friends.

Zhao Qinglan was naturally happy to have acquired another large item for the family.

Actually, she wanted to buy a TV for her family this year, but after inquiring in the city, she learned that they couldn't receive many channels here, so she put the idea aside.

Since she didn't have a television and couldn't listen to the radio all the time, she bought a lot of books from the bookstore, both for studying and for leisure, to help her pass the time.

Since the resumption of the college entrance examination, the variety of books in bookstores has become increasingly rich, greatly enriching everyone's spiritual world.
