This person can solve most of the problems in life as long as they have money.
After Zhao Qinglan showed her family around their new home, she had the contractors she had hired begin decorating and renovating it.
Thanks to her forward-thinking ideas, many of the renovations to the house were quite modern.
Like the shower bathtub and flush toilet in a bathroom.
These facilities may be rare in China, but fortunately, the country has been reforming and opening up for several years. Even if she can't buy things in the provincial capital, she can ask Zhang Yu to get them from Shenzhen.
She wanted to use the money to renovate her home to make it as comfortable as possible.
Because some of her ideas were too advanced, the renovation workers couldn't understand them. Fortunately, after careful communication, most of the work was still completed smoothly.
This is also thanks to her decades of experience as a "hard-working and conscientious" maid in the Wang family in her previous life, which has given her a great understanding of many things, especially aspects of life.
Before buying the house, she consulted several military spouses in the family compound, but after buying the house, she was able to keep a low profile and not show off.
Although her income is all from legitimate sources, she can't escape the jealousy of some people. To avoid unnecessary trouble, it's best to keep a low profile for now.
In a few years, when there are more and more wealthy people, she won't mind showing off her wealth to outsiders.
During the rest of the summer vacation, she didn't go back to the military-civilian cooperation area much. She would come back for a day about once a week, and spend the rest of the time living with the children in the family area.
Not long after Zhao Qinglan bought the house, Xiao Duo's maternal grandmother and Zhao Qingju also returned from Beijing by train.
This time, Zhao Qingju and her partner have finally settled down and are considering marriage.
However, at Sun Guangming's suggestion and at Sun's reluctance, both sides decided to get engaged first, and then postpone the wedding for another six months to a year.
Zhao Qinglan was very happy that her younger sister was finally about to complete a major life event.
She took her mother and sisters away from their hometown for several years, and everyone's lives underwent tremendous changes. It would be a lie to say that she didn't feel a sense of accomplishment.
The thought of her youngest daughter marrying far away made Sun very reluctant. After returning from the capital, she basically lived in the city, so Zhao Qinglan's courtyard was not wasted.
As for Zhao Qingzhu, fortunately, her daughter doesn't need constant care anymore. She was sent to daycare when she was two and a half years old.
When Mrs. Sun learned that her daughter had bought another house, this time in the provincial capital, she wasn't surprised. In the eyes of an older woman like her, buying more houses and land when you have money is the right way to go.
Zhao Qinglan stayed home as a housewife for a while, going out every day to buy groceries, cook for her family, and read books in her spare time to improve herself.
She and Zhang Yu have been doing business together for a long time. The reason she can often impress Zhang Yu is because she knows many major trends in the future, which does not mean that she has any great talent in business.
Therefore, she also planned to improve herself. There weren't many books on business in China, so she had to ask Zhang Yu to get some for her through other channels.
After getting married, Zhang Yu stayed in Beijing for a few days before heading south to Shenzhen with his new wife, Song Yi.
Song Yi, a college graduate this year, could actually be assigned a good job, but Zhang Yu felt that his company was short-staffed and did not want to live apart from his wife, so he simply ran off with her.
Zhao Qinglan wanted to study books about business to improve herself, and Zhang Yu was also quite moved.
Previously, he relied on his innate talent and keen sense to do business, and never thought about studying or furthering his education. Influenced by Zhao Qinglan, he also began to read relevant books to enrich himself.
In other words, there are currently no advanced training programs for senior managers in China, otherwise they would definitely have spent money to enroll.
In the last few days of summer vacation, Zhao Qinglan thought that the children's summer vacation should not be wasted, so she took her four children to Shenzhen, which could be considered a business trip combined with tourism.
With Zhang Yu and Song Yi present, they naturally received excellent hospitality.
Song Yi followed Zhang Yu to live in Shenzhen. They bought their own house, a small villa, which had only been built a year ago.
Previously, when Zhao Qinglan visited Shenzhen, she would pay to stay in a hotel. This time, however, she brought her children and stayed directly at Zhang Yu's house.
Song Yi has a good personality and gets along well with Zhao Qinglan. She also likes Da Wa and the other children very much.
To be honest, the mudslinging that Song Yi's former in-laws threw at her back then did have some impact on her mood.
She and her ex-husband did not have children, but that does not mean she dislikes children.
However, she was also glad that she hadn't had a child with that scumbag ex-husband, because the two of them truly became strangers after their divorce.
Now that she has met Zhang Yu, a husband who treats her very well, she wants to have a child that belongs to both of them.
Zhao Qinglan noticed Song Yi's eagerness to have a child, but advised her not to put too much pressure on herself and to let things take their natural course.
With her encouragement, Song Yi smiled more often, for which Zhang Yu was very grateful.
During their few days in Shenzhen, the children had a great time, and Zhao Qinglan didn't neglect her work. The real estate project that Zhang Yu had been pushing forward was now more than halfway done, and the results would be ready in a few months. Both he and Zhao Qinglan were very excited.
Once this project is successfully completed, their assets will experience a qualitative leap.
Zhao Qinglan and the children returned just before the start of the school term for the eldest child.
Since the eldest child didn't transfer schools, he naturally had to go back to school in the district. His school started two days earlier than his younger siblings, so Zhao Qinglan took the whole family back to their little home.
This also allows Grandma Sun to see Xiaoduo and Erwa again before the children start school, as they will be able to come back less often once school starts.
Da Wa first went to Beijing, then stayed in the provincial capital for a long time, and then went to Shenzhen. Cheng Tao hadn't seen him for a long time and couldn't come here to freeload a meal, so he was very resentful.
When she saw the older boy, she complained to him a lot. Fortunately, boys' feelings are not something that ordinary people can understand. The two boys soon went to play together again, arm in arm.
Zhao Qinglan thought that her purpose in coming back this time was to send her eldest child back to school and visit her mother and the others. However, she did not expect that Cheng Tao would bring her a message the very next day after seeing her eldest child return home.
"You said your dad wants to see me?" she asked, looking surprised.
Cheng Tao nodded. "Yes, Aunt Zhao, that's what my dad said."
Zhao Qinglan's expression turned strange. She already knew that Cheng Tao's father was the Party Secretary of the local prefecture, so why did the Party Secretary suddenly want to see her?
She raised her doubts with Cheng Tao.
Cheng Tao scratched his head and grinned foolishly. "Aunt Zhao, I don't know either."
Fine, let them meet. Cheng Tao is a good person, and Secretary Cheng shouldn't be a wicked person either. Once they meet, she'll know what the other party's intentions are.
