Because of the few spots that could be taken home to watch TV, Erwa and Xiaoduo quickly became popular in their class.
When Li Huai got home from get off work, he saw a row of people sitting in front of his TV.
These kids would skip meals to come here just to watch TV.
Zhao Qinglan called her own children to eat, and felt embarrassed to ignore the other six children, so she could only cook more for them to eat together.
The six children were initially shy, but after eating at their home, they suddenly felt even more motivated to visit.
Fortunately, Zhao Qinglan now has a large and successful family, so she doesn't need to worry about feeding her children; otherwise, she would really be in trouble.
After all, even though reform and opening up had been going on for several years, food was still precious, and their food standards were higher than those of ordinary families.
The children haven't come home for meals for several days in a row. When asked, they say they've gone to a classmate's house to watch TV and have already eaten.
These parents didn't think much of it after one or two meals, but after several days, some of them started to get restless.
After finding out what their children ate at other people's houses every day, several parents felt embarrassed.
Feeling embarrassed, he naturally forbade his child from going to other people's houses to watch TV for free.
This is unacceptable to a child who is engrossed in watching the show. They beg and plead, crying and rolling on the ground, just to keep watching.
They'd already beaten him, they'd already scolded him, but there was really no other way. So they took a small token of their goodwill and went to Zhao Qinglan's house.
Actually, Zhao Qinglan didn't mind being fed by a few kids for a few days, but she accepted the parents' kindness.
The children's journey of getting free meals and watching TV didn't end until "The Legendary Fok Yuan-gap" finished airing.
When Zhao Qinglan took the children back to the region during the holiday, Erwa and his older brother were showing off their TV series viewing experiences when Dawa's answer completely outshone his younger brother.
“I saw it. Your brother Cheng Tao and I can watch it whenever we want every day, and nobody takes it from us or cares.”
The older brother was jealous. He used to think his older brother was lonely and pitiful studying alone here, but now he was so envious.
Actually, the older child was just teasing the younger brother.
He did watch the TV series, but being in the crucial final year of junior high, he didn't neglect his studies. Watching those two episodes every day was his only way to relax.
Perhaps because of his parents' trust, he was more self-disciplined even when he was alone here without parental supervision.
Zhao Qinglan was actually worried about Da Wa, so she would come over to check on him from time to time.
She could only feel at ease when she saw that her eldest son was in good spirits and eating and sleeping well.
She even reminded her son, "Son, the high school entrance exam is important, but your health is also important. You need to balance studying with rest, understand?"
"Mom, don't worry, I'm all grown up now."
Erwa felt even worse after hearing his mother's instructions to his older brother.
Why is it that we're always the ones getting scolded by our mothers for doing our homework?
Or maybe he could transfer to this school and live with his brother.
Erwa didn't just think about it; he directly asked.
However, as soon as he finished speaking, he saw his mother's deathly gaze.
"Erwa, what did you say? Mom didn't hear you clearly."
Erwa chuckled and said, "Mom, I have to say you look really good today."
"Yes, my good son." She smiled with satisfaction.
Second child: I'm so scared, Mommy is so terrifying.
As her children grow older, Zhao Qinglan finds herself encountering some of the problems that other parents face.
However, she didn't find it annoying; on the contrary, she found it quite interesting.
Isn't life interesting because it's colorful?
After the girl grew a little older, Mrs. Sun stopped living in the family quarters as often and would occasionally go to the city to stay for a few days to take care of her grandson, Da Wa.
Da Wa is the eldest child in the family, and he is about to take the high school entrance exam, which his maternal grandmother, Sun, takes very seriously.
Actually, Da Wa was eating quite well at the small canteen in the military-civilian joint store every day, but when Sun Shi came to stay, she would still make all kinds of stewed soups for her eldest grandson to nourish him.
After the New Year, the weather gradually warmed up.
In April, Mrs. Sun set off for the capital. She planned to stay in the capital for more than a month before returning, so that she could take care of her grandson for a while before her eldest son's high school entrance exam.
No sooner had Sun left than Zhao Qinglan opened another branch. Before the new store opened, she did the same thing as before: first recruit military dependents from the military family area.
However, this time, she still reserved a few positions for people from other sources, including an old educated youth who regularly stayed at the neighborhood committee.
This old educated youth's ancestors were cooks, and he himself had some skills, but he was just unlucky and never did well in life.
Zhao Qinglan had him demonstrate his skills by cooking a few dishes. After tasting them, she then invited the people in.
Although the military-civilian joint venture branches previously only sold the same few items, it doesn't mean they can't sell other foods in the future.
She didn't do those things before simply because there wasn't a suitable cook. Even if this old educated youth isn't needed for the time being, he's still a reserve talent for their Lanxin Company.
After keeping an eye on the new store for two days, she quickly went to find an office space for her own company.
She took out a two-story building she had stockpiled and used it as the company's office space, then hired workers to renovate and furnish it according to her requirements.
She took on the roles of both senior manager and HR at the company, and through an introduction, she recruited an experienced accountant from a state-owned factory that wasn't doing very well in terms of finance.
An honest and hardworking person may work for many years but never get promoted, and is always bullied and has his credit stolen by those with connections.
It just so happened that Zhao Qinglan's salary was high, so in a fit of anger, he quit his job and came to work here.
