As for the family trip, Zhao Qinglan planned to wait until her second sister was ready to see it before going.
However, when she announced it at home, the children still cheered with joy.
The only time they ever traveled far from home in their entire lives was to the capital city of Beijing.
The three children had not been born at that time. Although we are not going to such a far place this time, it is still a novel experience for the children, so how can we not look forward to it.
When her mother called again, Zhao Qinglan quickly told her about the date.
Mrs. Sun was naturally pleased and assured them that she would be ready and waiting for them to arrive that day.
That's right, the place we're looking for is their snack shop.
There are people coming and going in the snack bar, and a stranger will not attract anyone's attention at all.
They just need to let Zhao Qingzhu meet and chat with the young man for a while when there are not many customers.
On the phone, Sun also told her eldest daughter that they had been worrying about the house issue, and now they had found two good storefronts, and it would be a good opportunity for her to take a look when she came.
Zhao Qinglan was naturally concerned about this matter, and she was happy to hear the good news.
Her goal is to not only buy at least one house for herself, but also to buy one for each of her children in the future.
Not to mention making the children rich and prosperous in the future, at least each of them has a house, so I don’t have to worry.
After Zhao Qinglan reached an agreement, Li Huai and Zhou Jinsheng also made peace.
The day before the meeting, Zhao Qinglan prepared everything that needed to be prepared.
Although Zhou Jinsheng had seen them when she came to her husband's house for dinner and drinks, on this day, she still wanted her family to appear in their best appearance in front of others and to give her sister more points.
It was the same car, driven by Li Huai, with Zhou Jingsheng in the passenger seat and Zhao Qinglan holding Sanwa and the three children squeezed into the back.
Fortunately, Da Wa and the others are all children and don’t take up much space.
On the way, Li Huai would occasionally chat with Zhou Jinsheng. He was not a talkative person, but thinking that Zhou Jinsheng might become his brother-in-law, he tried to be as enthusiastic as possible to him.
He has no relatives left on his mother's side, and because of his relationship with his father, he has no contact with any of his relatives on his father's side.
Speaking of which, Zhao Qinglan's maternal family is the relative he interacts with the most now.
Zhou Jinsheng was obviously a little nervous, and Zhao Qinglan, who was sitting behind him, wanted to laugh for some reason when he saw him like this.
They had eaten before leaving home and had timed it perfectly. By the time they arrived at the snack shop, the lunch rush had just subsided.
As soon as they came in, Sun came forward to greet them warmly.
"You're here, Xiao Zhou, right? Come and sit down."
"Hello, Auntie," Zhou Jingsheng greeted her somewhat awkwardly.
Over there, Zhao Qingju also pushed her sister out.
Seeing his sister's dress, Zhao Qinglan nodded with satisfaction.
There were two other customers in the store at this time, but they were both sitting in the corner.
Zhao Qinglan and the others sat in the middle, while Zhao Qingzhu and Zhou Jinsheng sat facing each other in the corner on the other side.
"Um, have you eaten?" Zhao Qingzhu asked.
"I've eaten, I've eaten." Zhou Jingsheng nodded quickly.
"That's good." After saying that, she lowered her head shyly.
Zhou Jinsheng was still satisfied with Zhao Qingzhu's appearance, otherwise he would not have planned to meet her in person after seeing her photo.
Seeing that the girl was silent, Zhou Jinsheng felt that as a man, he should be more proactive, so he plucked up the courage to speak.
"My name is Zhou Jingsheng. My parents are gone, and I grew up with my uncles and aunts. I am currently a deputy company commander, and my monthly allowance is about forty yuan."
After saying that, he glanced at Zhao Qingzhu. "So, what's your impression of me?"
Zhao Qingzhu has a good impression of soldiers, and because of her sister and brother-in-law, she also wants to find a soldier as her husband.
Although Zhou Jingsheng wasn't as good-looking as Li Huai, he was still quite decent-looking overall, and with his long-term military service, Zhao Qingzhu was satisfied with him overall.
Being asked so directly made her feel embarrassed, and she whispered, "It's alright."
"It's alright"—does that mean good or bad? Zhou Jingsheng became increasingly nervous.
After listening to a few words, Zhao Qinglan felt that if these two young people continued like this, the conversation would be ruined, so he walked over and interrupted.
"Qingzhu, Comrade Xiao Zhou, why don't you two go see a movie together?" With so many people watching over them, it's no wonder the young couple can't have a proper conversation.
Another reason why she suggested meeting in the city was that she thought young people in the city could also find a place to meet and get in touch privately.
How dare I do that in the group?
“That’s right, you young people should go out for a walk together,” Mrs. Sun chimed in.
In this way, the two were forced to leave.
As soon as they left, Zhao Qinglan kept laughing.
"Is that funny?" Li Huai asked.
"I just find it really funny how they both act so awkwardly."
Hearing this, Li Huai couldn't help but recall their first meeting.
If his wife hadn't been so generous and proactive back then, and hadn't made that suggestion, they probably wouldn't have gotten together. After all, he wasn't really keen on remarrying at the time.
He is now very grateful for his wife's insistence.
"How about we go see a movie?"
"Alright, if Qingzhu and Xiao Zhou see us, they'll feel uncomfortable again."
"Qinglan, shall we go take a look at those two storefronts?" Madam Sun suddenly brought up another important matter.
Yeah, almost forgot about this.
Leaving the children in the store and asking her husband and younger sister to look after them, the mother and daughter went out to look at storefronts.
