A phone call made both Zhao Qinglan and Li Huai feel a sense of urgency.
Life must go on. They can't let their worries about Wang Dazhi keep bothering them, but they also need to be prepared in case he suddenly appears one day.
They only knew about this between themselves and didn't tell any other family members.
Saying it will only cause more trouble and won't help at all.
Da Wa soon started his summer vacation, but he didn't come to the provincial capital right away. He called Zhao Qinglan and said he would play with Cheng Tao for a few days before going home.
As the child grew older, Zhao Qinglan no longer restricted him, only reminding him to be careful while playing, especially not to go near water.
Every summer vacation, several children drown in various places because they are playing too much. As a parent, she is naturally worried.
Erwa and Xiaoduo had only been at their new school for a few days when they were already on holiday again. Dawa wasn't coming over yet, so the two of them wanted to go back to their old place to live.
Zhao Qinglan thought for a moment, told her husband, and then took the children back home.
Her mother and sister live there, and the shop is there too. Actually, if she has time, she prefers to go back to live there.
It's tough on Li Huai, who will have to stay alone in his room again. Fortunately, he won't have to suffer in terms of food, as the food in the military canteen is quite good.
The eldest son was surprised that instead of his mother coming home, his mother brought his younger siblings over.
Sun brought her daughter to stay with Zhao Qinglan, and the house became very lively.
My daughter is three years old and loves to follow her older brother and sister around.
Erwa thought she was too young and didn't want to play with her. Luckily, Xiaoduo was there. Xiaoduo is a thoughtful and warm older sister who takes care of Nannan anytime, anywhere.
With so many children, Zhao Qinglan was driven crazy by the noise. Fortunately, she wasn't always at home and would sometimes go to the military-civilian cooperative, which prevented her from having her head blown off by the noise.
When she arrived at the store and met Wu Mei, Wu Mei told her some good news.
After graduating, Sun Wen was assigned back to the provincial government and returned home in a few days.
Wu Mei was overjoyed that her eldest son, who had been studying at university for several years, had finally made it and been assigned a good job.
Indeed, even within the "iron rice bowl" system, there are differences. This provincial government position has a very high starting point.
Zhao Qinglan was also happy for Wu Mei and Sun Wen.
Thinking of this, she also realized that she hadn't contacted Wei Hong for many days and didn't know where Wei Hong had been assigned.
Wei Hong, Sun Wen, and the other students were among the first batch of college students after the resumption of the college entrance examination. They graduated along with the batch of students who passed the exam six months later. For more than ten years, the country had no decent college students.
These recent college graduates are highly sought after by various regions.
Sun Wen was able to be assigned to the provincial government in his hometown, so Wei Hong's future should not be bad either.
While they were happy for Sun Yat-sen, some people in Beijing were not so happy.
Finally, her husband graduated, and Zhu Kexin thought her hard times could finally ease.
But who knew that her husband, who had always wanted to divorce her, became even more determined to do so after she graduated.
This time, Xue Jingxue was willing to go through a divorce lawsuit to get a divorce from her.
Xue Jing learned to curry favor with others. He had previously tried to pursue Wei Hong's roommate, Jin Hui, but was warned by Jin Hui and even received a disciplinary action from the school.
After that, he behaved himself for a while, but his desire to curry favor did not disappear; he just became more discreet about it.
Believe it or not, his offensive actually won over a few more girls.
Zhu Kexin has argued and made a scene, but she just can't control her husband. If she angers him, he will hit her.
The couple had long been estranged, but Zhu Kexin was unwilling to accept her husband's wish to divorce her.
It seems that her divorce was an admission of her failure.
Xue Jingxue was indeed very determined to get a divorce this time. He was originally supposed to be assigned back to his hometown, but he used some means to keep himself in Beijing.
This time, he was determined to get rid of Zhu Kexin, this "old hag," and marry his dream girl.
If he succeeds, he can avoid many years of hard work!
He's already this age, not young anymore. If he doesn't seize this opportunity now, he really won't have another chance.
Xue Jingxue has become even more sophisticated now, completely fooling his new girlfriend. Even though Zhu Kexin went to see him, she still trusts him completely.
She believed that the couple had no feelings for each other anymore, and that she and Xue Jingxue were the true love.
Under pressure from Xue Jingxue and his partner using their family connections, Zhu Kexin had no choice but to accept the divorce, even though she was unwilling.
After all these years of struggle, she lost her biological child, ruined her health and can no longer have children, and even lost the best years of her life. What is left of her?
Zhu Kexin gave up on herself for several days, and in the end, her father came to Beijing to take her back.
"Kexin, why don't we go see the children?" said the much older-looking Mr. Zhu.
Although he survived those years, his health was still affected, and he estimated that he wouldn't live for many more years. He could still take care of his stubborn daughter now, but what about after he was gone? Therefore, he still hoped that his daughter could repair her relationship with her grandchildren.
Her two children?
In the past, when her father talked about his sons, Zhu Kexin would only shout herself hoarse, but this time, she fell silent.
To be honest, she can hardly remember what her sons look like anymore.
Seeing that his daughter didn't immediately resist this time, Mr. Zhu felt that there was hope and quickly encouraged her to go see her grandchildren.
Zhao Qinglan and her children are living here, and they seem to be having such a good time that they don't want to leave. The eldest child is no longer in a hurry to go to the provincial capital, and sometimes he even brings Cheng Tao home to play.
Cheng Tao especially liked the atmosphere at their home, and particularly loved the food Zhao Qinglan cooked.
With the holiday starting, the small catering service at the military-civilian joint restaurant naturally stopped. The Cheng couple were still busy with work and couldn't come home every day to cook for their son, so Cheng Tao often ate at Zhao Qinglan's house.
In fact, Zhao Qinglan had also wondered why a family like the Cheng family didn't hire a nanny to take care of Cheng Tao, but she only thought about it and didn't ask. There must be a reason why they didn't hire one, and it wasn't appropriate for her, as an outsider, to interfere.
Anyway, it's just a matter of adding an extra pair of chopsticks to the family. She likes Cheng Tao quite a bit, so she won't miss a few meals from him.
Zhu Kexin appeared outside the military family compound.
She lingered there for a long time without coming over, which instead attracted the attention of the soldiers on guard.
"You can't just wander around here. What are you doing here?"
When asked, Zhu Kexin finally spoke.
“I used to live here, and I want to go in to find someone.”
Zhu Kexin was unaware that Li Huai had been promoted and transferred, so she ended up in the former regimental headquarters family compound.
Li Huai, whom she was looking for, was naturally not there, but the soldiers still reported this news.
Sun Shengli raised an eyebrow when he learned that Zhu Kexin had arrived.
He naturally remembered Zhu Kexin, after all, the two families had been neighbors for many years, although he had never had a good impression of this woman.
But now that they've found their unit, it's impossible to completely ignore them.
Having no other choice, Sun Shengli had to let Zhu Kexin in so he could see her in person.
