On the second day of the Lunar New Year, Zhao Qinglan and her husband didn't go anywhere, because her husband had to work on the second day.
It wasn't until the third year of junior high that they returned to the region with Wu Mei's family.
The military dependents in the family quarters are now not only warm to Zhao Qinglan's family, but also to Wu Mei.
After all, Wu Mei now spends most of her time in the provincial capital and rarely comes back.
Sun Wen and Zhang Wenjing's wedding was held in the provincial capital. As soon as the new bride Zhang Wenjing arrived in the family quarters, she attracted the curiosity and attention of many family members.
After all, Sun Yat-sen's achievements were evident to all in the residential area, and he is still an example for many parents in the residential area to use when educating their own children.
Upon learning that Zhang Wenjing was also a college student, everyone felt that the two were a good match.
They still stay in the family quarters during the day and go back to their compound in the city at night.
On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, Li Huai returned to the city to work alone. Zhao Qinglan and the children continued to stay in the area for a few more days until the shops in Junminhe reopened. She even went to check on the shops.
Right after the New Year, Sun Shengli was promoted. He was lucky and was transferred to the military region, where he replaced another deputy division commander who had just retired.
Wu Mei was overjoyed to learn of her husband's transfer order, which meant that their family could finally be officially reunited in the provincial capital.
Zhao Qinglan and the others were happy for Wu Meisun's victory when they unexpectedly found themselves with good news as well.
Li Huai was also called in for a talk with his superiors, and when he returned, he was overjoyed.
Perhaps because of his outstanding work ability, he was promoted, and this time he was paired with Sun Shengli, the old regimental commander.
Sun Shengli became the deputy division commander, and he also became the deputy political commissar of the same division. Both of them went from being at the regimental level to the deputy division level.
Although the promotions seem similar, Li Huai's is actually more astonishing.
After all, Sun Shengli had been a regimental commander for many years, so it was normal for him to be promoted to deputy division commander. It was just a matter of seniority; it was about time for him to be promoted.
Li Huai, on the other hand, had only served as a regimental commander for a few years before being promoted to deputy division-level, and even then, he became a highly prestigious political commissar.
The deputy political commissar needs to do more clerical work. Li Huai used to mainly lead troops, so he never expected this promotion.
However, being promoted is a good thing, and obeying orders and following instructions is the right thing to do.
Li Huai found it strange, but he accepted it immediately.
Zhao Qinglan was overjoyed by his promotion.
She earns so much money, but it's all because her husband has a high position and many advantages.
After all, power always comes before money. The higher her husband's position, the more carefully people who are hostile to her, like Wang Dazhi, will think before they do anything.
She earns money to improve the family's living standards, while her husband protects and safeguards the family; the couple works together very well.
When Li Huai got promoted, her uncle Sun Guangming quickly found out and even called to congratulate her.
When Zhao Qingju's in-laws learned that their daughter-in-law's brother-in-law had become a deputy division-level officer, they valued Zhao Qingju even more.
The changes in Li Huai alone have unknowingly triggered a series of chain reactions.
As soon as the New Year was over, Wang Dazhi immediately had his son send everyone away.
He had originally planned to show his filial piety to his parents, but he found that a rift had already formed between them, and he couldn't even find any common topics to talk about with them anymore.
After seeing the man off, Wang Dazhi began to have people investigate more about Zhao Qinglan.
Zhao Qinglan had the idea of knowing yourself and your enemy to win every battle, and so did he.
However, before he could learn more about Zhao Qinglan, there was some activity in another place where there had been no news.
"Chairman Wang, we have news about Miss Wang."
Even though he had little affection for his daughter, Wang Dazhi became agitated upon hearing his secretary's words.
Wang Dazhi knew he wasn't a good father, but after learning about his daughter's experiences over the years, he still stayed in his room for a long time before calming down.
Wang Xiaoyan was abducted by human traffickers and sold to a small village in the south to be a child bride.
After staying there for two years, Wang Xiaoyan found a chance to escape, but she had just escaped one danger only to fall into another.
She was sold again, and this time to a terrible place.
When she was a child bride, she did a lot of work and was beaten and scolded, but this time when she was sold, she experienced the greatest pain in her life.
She was forced to end her teenage years prematurely.
Wang Dazhi had spent enough money, and a client who had seen Wang Dazhi searching for his daughter found Wang Xiaoyan in a city not far from Shenzhen.
This customer was hoping to strike it rich and make some money, so he memorized a lot of information about Wang Xiaoyan.
He came here with his companion, who was entertained by Wang Xiaoyan. This companion loved to hear stories, and Wang Xiaoyan, after receiving money, told him some of her tragic life stories, half true and half false.
Later, when they left together, his companion joked that the customer felt the person in the story was somewhat similar to Wang Xiaoyan, whom he had remembered. So he went back and pretended to order Wang Xiaoyan to entertain him, but privately asked her name.
Wang Dazhi did not personally go to that place to pick up his daughter; he simply had someone bring her back safely.
Before Wang Xiaoyan returned, Wang Dazhi first went to Shenzhen and called his son to his side.
"Xiaofei, I have something to tell you."
"Dad, why are you calling me Xiaofei again? Didn't we agree not to use our old names anymore?" Wang Xiaofei said unhappily.
At this point, Wang Dazhi didn't want to argue with his son about this issue anymore. He simply continued, "Your sister has been found."
Wang Xiaofei was stunned for a moment, then stared at him with wide eyes. "Really?"
"Really, Xiao Yan hasn't had a good time these past few years. When she comes, remember to treat her well, and don't ask her about what happened in those years."
Wang Xiaofei nodded silently. "Understood."
He wasn't so heartless as to reopen his sister's wounds.
Actually, when they went out together that year, he returned, but his sister was lost, and he has always felt guilty about it.
Knowing that my sister has had a hard time these past years only intensifies my guilt.
He was unaware that his father had gone to great lengths to find his sister only because he was dissatisfied with him and wanted to have another option.
Wang Xiaoyan felt like she was dreaming these past few days.
When she was first abducted by human traffickers, she kept thinking about when her family would find her and take her home.
But as time went by, she finally gave up.
But just when she had given up hope, someone stood in front of her and told her that he was sent by her father to take her home.
She watched as the fat woman, who usually bossed everyone around, bowed and scraped before that person, and saw her fellow sufferers looking at her with envy.
Even after leaving that hellish place, she couldn't believe she had been saved.
Wang Dazhi and his son were waiting at their residence in Shenzhen for their secretary to bring Wang Xiaoyan over. Both father and son had mixed feelings.
When a girl who looked about seventeen or eighteen years old with shifty eyes was brought in, the two of them stood up at the same time.
"Xiao Yan." Wang Xiaofei's eyes reddened.
"Brother." Seeing Wang Xiaofei and her father beside her, Wang Xiaoyan finally believed that she had really been rescued, and tears of excitement welled up in her eyes.
