Li Huai had already thought about it for his wife. Since she was unwilling, he was happy to see it happen. Without Zhao Qinglan having to say anything, he directly replied that it was not possible.
Of course, the reasons for her refusal were not what Zhao Qinglan was worried about; she simply said modestly that her abilities were limited.
The person involved was unwilling, and the leaders in the military who were interested couldn't force them, so they could only wait and see if there were any other capable people who would follow Zhao Qinglan's example and do something like this.
Because of this, Li Huai even teased his wife.
They say gold shines wherever it goes, and look at her now, she's become a highly sought-after commodity.
Zhao Qinglan's military-civilian integration has developed so well that some places in the city have naturally been affected, such as several state-run restaurants.
That's why Zhao Qinglan and her team don't cook stir-fries; otherwise, these state-run restaurants would be much more affected.
Those who had refused Zhao Qinglan's offer to become affiliated with her were now filled with regret.
The people they looked down on back then are now causing several of their subordinate units to suffer poor performance.
Some people wanted to target Zhao Qinglan and her shop because of this, but Zhao Qinglan was under the command of the army and handed over a portion of her profits every month. Was she working for nothing?
But as soon as the idea was proposed, it was met with criticism.
Are military subordinates someone you can just mess with?
Local governments and other public entities generally operate on the principle of non-interference with surrounding military units, as they are not part of the same system.
Moreover, they are in the wrong, and if things escalate, they will be the ones who suffer the consequences.
Zhao Qinglan may not be able to venture into Shenzhen, but that doesn't mean others can't.
After she mentioned this to her husband, Li Huai gave Zhang Yu a hint.
Zhang Yu is now focused on making money through business. Since there are promising prospects in Shenzhen, why doesn't he give it a try?
Of course, Zhang Yu still thought it was Li Huai who had good judgment.
Because some of the advice Li Huai had given him had later proven to be correct, he now found Li Huai's words increasingly useful.
Privately, they even joked that Li Huai had the extraordinary luck to turn stones into gold.
Li Huai naturally didn't believe in turning stones into gold, but as for great fortune, he really thought he had it.
Otherwise, how could he have met Qinglan, his wife, so early in this life? His own fate, and even that of his sons, was gradually being changed.
After Yu Huimin's incident, he once asked his wife out of curiosity what happened to the mother and son in their previous life.
In her previous life, Zhao Qinglan was not very familiar with Huimin and her son, but she knew that Li Zhenhua was alright.
Since Li Zhenhua is unharmed, it's highly likely that Yu Huimin and her son are also safe, and Lu Chenggong's group probably hasn't been caught either.
Unbeknownst to us, so many people and things have changed.
Busy with her career and studies, Zhao Qinglan had less time to spend with her children.
Fortunately, the children could keep each other company, so he didn't feel lonely. But even so, Erwa still had some regrets.
He wasn't disappointed that his mother, Zhao Qinglan, wasn't home; he was disappointed that she was home less often, which meant he had fewer opportunities to eat those delicious foods.
It's not that Sun Shi and Zhao Qingzhu's cooking is bad.
Now they're willing to use plenty of oil and seasonings when they cook, and since they run snack shops, their food naturally tastes pretty good.
However, they certainly couldn't do things like Zhao Qinglan, who always came up with some strange and wonderful ideas and made some dishes that they had never eaten before.
When Zhao Qinglan asked Da Wa what his birthday wish was, Da Wa, who hadn't tasted her cooking in a long time, said, encouraged by his younger brother Er Wa, that he wanted to eat her delicious food.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Qinglan felt guilty, realizing that she owed the children a great deal.
Because of this, she also took a good look at her life and made some adjustments.
While balancing her career and studies, she always sets aside one day each week when her children have a day off to enjoy several meals together as a family, creating a warm and cozy atmosphere.
Her adjustment pleased the whole family.
Although adults don't care much for food, who wouldn't love the novel dishes Zhao Qinglan makes every time?
Other changes also occurred that year.
For military dependents like Zhao Qinglan, getting into the city is no longer just a matter of hitching a ride on military vehicles; there are now dedicated buses that pass by the area around the military base.
This has greatly benefited military families and local residents.
However, the military still provides special transportation for the children from the family quarters who attend school in the city.
In addition to picking up and dropping off children, Zhao Qinglan's military-civilian cooperative also took on the responsibility of providing meals for school children.
This was a suggestion that Wu Mei and several other military wives made to Zhao Qinglan after discussing it, and of course, they also informed the regiment.
The reason is that Wu Mei's two children are both entering their senior year of high school this year. In the past, the children would bring their own lunch from home and eat at school.
But Wu Mei thought that this was a crucial period of the year, and with her income increasing, she wanted to make sure the children ate better. However, it was too troublesome for her to cook and deliver meals herself, so she thought of the military-civilian cooperation program.
Of course, her initial suggestion was to have the children eat together with the military and civilians, and then deduct the cost from her salary.
Besides the food they sell, the military-civilian cooperative also provides meals for its employees every day. She was just thinking about adding a couple more pairs of chopsticks.
However, as soon as she voiced her idea, military wives who also had children studying in the city wanted their children to join in as well.
With so many people, Zhao Qinglan decided to communicate with the group as well.
Finally, she was responsible for providing one meal a day to the children who were studying in the city, and the money she handed over to the troupe each month was used to cover the cost of the meals.
Zhao Qinglan herself is a military wife. Her eldest child will be attending junior high school in the city after graduating from elementary school. She had originally thought that since her family had a shop in the city, the problem of feeding her child could also be solved.
Now it's just a matter of managing a group instead of one person. She doesn't want to make money from it, so she only deducts the cost.
Because the children eat at the restaurant, she has raised the standards for their meals to provide them with more nutrition.
The military wives eating at the restaurant naturally knew what the standard of their meals was like in the past. In fact, it was already much better than what they usually ate at home. But compared with now, they knew that they were still benefiting from their children's meals.
Of course, the most important role was played by Zhao Qinglan.
Adults may be willing to suffer themselves, but they all want their children to have a better life.
Zhao Qinglan's kindness to the children is even more appreciated than her kindness to the military wives.
Because of this, if anyone dares to say anything bad about Zhao Qinglan in the family area, the military wives who work in her shop will be unhappy.
Zhao Qinglan hadn't intended to win people's hearts, but this effect had occurred unintentionally, and she could only sigh that good deeds are rewarded.
When Da Wa and the others were on summer vacation, Uncle Zhang Yu also came from Shenzhen.
Having spent more than half a year in Shenzhen, Zhang Yu has benefited greatly. His arrival not only brought good news but also a lot of good things.
