After Zhao Qingju finished her wedding, Zhao Qinglan and the others did not leave the capital immediately.
Li Huai went to see Zhang Yu's twins. He was very happy that his good friend finally had children.
Both children are still young, but Zhang Yu kept talking to him.
"Look at my daughter, isn't she beautiful? And my son, he's so smart, he already knows..."
Although Li Huai felt helpless, he was understanding that Zhang Yu was already at such an age when he had a child, so he tolerated his incessant chatter and boasting.
A day after the wedding, Zhao Qingju and her husband returned to her parents' home with some gifts.
Sun had been looking forward to it since early morning. Even though her little girl had only been gone for a short time, it felt like a long time had passed.
When the young couple appeared on their bicycles, their daughter's face lit up with smiles, and only then did she smile.
As soon as the man entered the house, she couldn't help but pull her daughter aside and start asking her all sorts of questions.
Fortunately, Li Huai was perceptive and took Wei Yaohui, his brother-in-law, aside to talk.
"Mom, don't worry, my mother-in-law, father-in-law, and Yaohui are all very good to me."
"What about the rest of the Wei family?" Madam Sun pressed.
"What can they do to me? I don't live with them."
“That’s true,” Mrs. Sun said with a smile.
Fortunately, the youngest daughter and son-in-law have their own marital home to live in, instead of with the elders. Although it seems like they don't have the elders around to help them, it also reduces a lot of conflicts.
Neither of her eldest nor second daughters had mothers-in-law, so she had never worried about mother-in-law/daughter-in-law issues. But her youngest daughter had both parents-in-law, and her own mother wouldn't always be in the capital, so she couldn't help but worry more.
However, after chatting with her daughter for a while, she felt much more at ease.
The young couple ate at the bride's parents' house and stayed until the afternoon before leaving.
Once they passed through the door, Zhao Qinglan and the others left and went home, leaving only Madam Sun behind for the time being.
Sun planned to stay until her second daughter was about to give birth before returning to the capital. This way, she could stay in the capital and support her younger daughter. As long as her mother was there, her daughter would have a family home in the capital.
She also lived in the same courtyard as Zhao Qingzhu.
Although this courtyard was part of Zhao Qingzhu's dowry, the Wei family prepared a bridal chamber for them, which may not be as big as her courtyard, but the young couple still lived in the bridal chamber.
As for this courtyard, they can come and stay whenever they want.
Fearing that his younger sister would be lonely living alone in the courtyard, Sun Guangming also moved in.
As soon as Zhao Qinglan and the others got home, they rested for two days.
She had put in a lot of effort for this wedding and needed to recuperate before she could continue with her important work.
The children were full of energy; after a good half-day sleep at home, they were all more energetic than ever after a day's work.
Summer vacation has started, and the kids are having a blast.
Da Wa was worried about Cheng Tao, so he asked Zhao Qinglan and the others when they would return to the region.
Just then, Zhao Qinglan also wanted to check on the new store. After resting at home enough, she went back to the courtyard in the district with the children.
Li Huai was left alone again. Even though he felt resentful, there was nothing he could do. He couldn't let go of his work. After his wife and children left, he went back to live in the family quarters and relied on the canteen for meals.
Zhao Qinglan went to the new store to find out how things were going during her absence, and then went to the main store to check on things. Both stores were operating well, so she felt relieved.
Now that she's back, she plans to stay here for a few days and then think about opening a new store in the provincial capital.
Opening a new store in the provincial capital is not as easy as it is here.
First of all, it's not very convenient to have manpower. The new Junminhe store has senior staff from the main store guiding the new staff.
But if a store opens in the provincial capital, it won't be so easy for people to get there.
So she plans to talk to several long-time employees at both stores to see if anyone is willing to go to the provincial capital.
If no one is willing to go, she will have to recruit employees in the provincial capital first, and then send them to the store here for training for a period of time.
Over the next few days, she visited both stores once a day and talked to people there.
The current employees in these two stores, with the exception of a few individuals, are all former military spouses from the same regiment. The chances of these military spouses moving to the provincial capital are slim, but she still plans to try her best. Those who are willing to go to the provincial capital will receive higher salaries and benefits.
After she had spoken with all the long-time employees, she was surprised to find that Wu Mei was the most determined to step forward.
“My daughter Jiajia is now studying at a university in the provincial capital, and Sun Wen has also established himself in the provincial government. I think it’s good for me to go to the provincial capital.”
"What about Commander Sun?" Zhao Qinglan asked.
Wu Mei smiled. "We're an old married couple, it doesn't matter if we live separately, he can take good care of himself."
The children have grown up, and they've all been away from home for the past few years. If Zhao Qinglan hadn't brought this up, she wouldn't have had the chance, and she would still be working diligently at the Junminhe headquarters.
But now there's an opportunity to go to the provincial capital, which would allow me to be closer to both of my children, and the salary would be better. Why not take it?
Actually, Zhao Qinglan was most relieved that Wu Mei could go, and could only apologize to Sun Shengli in her heart.
With Wu Mei, her oldest employee, going to the provincial capital, she could have many things taken easier.
Now, all she needs to do is go back to the provincial capital to find a place to open a shop and hire employees.
She thought everything was going smoothly and she would be able to return to the provincial capital soon, but then problems arose at the Junminhe New Store.
After tidying up her home, Zhao Qinglan arrived at the shop only to find it in complete disarray.
"What's wrong?" she asked, frowning.
An employee immediately came over and said in a panic, "Boss, something's happened! Sister Wen has been taken away to the police station."
