If Wang Dazhi wants to bring his daughter Xiaoduo back, the first thing he needs to do is find out where Xiaoduo is.
Sui Wenjing was sitting in her office when Wang Dazhi came to see her.
She naturally didn't have a good look on her face when she saw Wang Dazhi. Ever since Wang Dazhi made a scene at her house last time, the two sides had completely fallen out.
"What do you want from me?" Sui Wenjing asked irritably.
Wang Dazhi smiled humbly.
"Director Sui, I know I was wrong about what I did before, and I regret it very much now."
Sui Wenjing was surprised to hear this, but still snorted coldly. "Now you know you regret it? Too late."
Wang Dazhi gave a wry smile.
"Director Sui, I know it's too late, but Xiaoduo is my daughter after all. I just want to see her again. Can you help me?"
Seeing his fatherly demeanor, Sui Wenjing was a little suspicious but also a little soft-hearted.
After all, Wang Dazhi is Xiaoduo's biological father, and it wouldn't be right for him to completely deny it.
After thinking for a moment, she said carefully, "I understand. I will contact Qinglan, but don't count on me. I'll just pass on a message."
"Director Sui, thank you so much," Wang Dazhi said, expressing his gratitude.
Director Sui felt that this matter was not urgent, and she went home and talked to her husband about it.
After discussing it, the couple decided to write a letter to Zhao Qinglan.
When Li Huai left, he left his mailing address, so now they can just write letters directly.
After writing the letter, Li Aiguo mailed it on his way to work.
After sending her letter, Zhao Qinglan resumed her life of cooking and teaching.
As evening fell, Li Huai was still suffering, but Zhao Qinglan made no mention of moving Xiao Duo's bed out.
While pleased to find that Zhao Qinglan had integrated into their family so quickly and that the two children didn't reject her, Li Huai also became a little suspicious.
For some reason, he always felt that Zhao Qinglan seemed to know them very well.
But it was strange, he had never seen Zhao Qinglan before.
He was even more shocked when he discovered that his two sons had not only started studying diligently with Zhao Qinglan, but also could do simple housework.
He certainly didn't think Zhao Qinglan was bad; it was precisely because she was too good that he felt it was unreal.
He even began to wonder if Zhao Qinglan was sent by someone from somewhere to deliberately get close to him.
Because of this suspicion, he began to observe more carefully when he went to sleep at night, and as a result, he experienced less torment.
Previously, Li Huai would eat lunch at the army canteen and not go home, but suddenly he started coming back.
The excuse is quite normal: the food at home is better than the cafeteria food.
That's true. Their food is much better than the communal meals in the army canteen. With a better choice, who would want to eat something inferior?
The reason he didn't come back before was because he was afraid to face Zhao Qinglan.
But now that he's starting to doubt Zhao Qinglan, he feels he should observe her more closely.
Sun Shengli was greatly shocked when his wife told him about Zhao Qinglan's analysis regarding the "restoration of the college entrance examination."
The more he thought about it, the more he realized that Zhao Qinglan's words made sense.
But such foresight is probably beyond the reach of ordinary people, isn't it?
Many highly educated intellectuals and cultural figures are still confused about the future, yet she, a housewife with limited education, can think of these things.
Sun Shengli suddenly realized that he had underestimated Zhao Qinglan before.
He felt that Zhao Qinglan's words made sense, and he also told his three children, especially his eldest son who was about to graduate, that they should never give up on learning.
When Li Huai went to Sun Shengli to report on his work again, after finishing the business, Sun Shengli sighed with emotion.
"Li Huai, your Qinglan is really being held back. If she had continued her studies, who knows what she could have accomplished."
Li Huai was completely confused. "Commander, why are you suddenly bringing this up? I don't quite understand."
Seeing his bewildered expression, Sun Shengli laughed.
"What Comrade Qinglan said was absolutely right..." Sun Shengli then relayed the words.
As Li Huai listened to his commander praising his wife Zhao Qinglan, his mood gradually grew heavy.
There are more and more things about Zhao Qinglan that are hard to explain or seem illogical.
Something unusual is suspicious, so does she have some kind of problem?
That afternoon, while having lunch, Zhao Qinglan felt that Li Huai was looking at her a little too often.
But whenever she looked over, Li Huai would either smile or casually look away.
His reaction struck Zhao Qinglan as a bit odd.
When they lay down that night, Li Huai asked "casually".
"Qinglan, you have to cook every day and teach Dawa and the others. Can you handle it?"
"What's this? As long as the children are well, I'm happy." Zhao Qinglan replied without hesitation.
"If you feel tired, you don't have to teach them. Anyway, the older child will be able to go to school normally next year."
Zhao Qinglan turned her head to look at him. "Isn't it good to learn more things?"
"Of course not, Qinglan. What are your thoughts on the children's future?"
"Of course I hope they grow up healthy, get into good universities, and have good jobs in the future."
Hearing her bring up the topic of taking the college entrance exam, Li Huai immediately chimed in, "Taking the college entrance exam is good, but it's been suspended for so many years. Who knows when it will be reinstated?"
"It definitely won't be too long," Zhao Qinglan laughed.
How do you know it won't be long?
"Oh, why are you talking so much today? I'm going to sleep." Yawning, Zhao Qinglan turned around and pulled the blanket tighter around her.
Li Huai stared at her back for a long, long time.
...
Zhaojia Village.
At the village entrance, several villagers were chatting under a big tree when they saw someone slowly walking over.
"Hey, Xiaofang, why are you back at this time of year?" an older woman asked.
"What? Can't I go back to my parents' house to see them?"
"Okay, okay, look at how aggressive you are."
Ignoring them, Zhao Xiaofang carried her basket and went into the village.
When she got home, she chatted with her mother for a while before asking about Zhao Qinglan's family situation.
Because of the trouble caused by the Wang family, the villagers were quite concerned about Zhao Qinglan and her family. Whenever Zhao Xiaofang asked, her mother had a lot to say.
After Zhao Xiaofang stayed at home for half a day, she went back home with her basket.
No one thought there was anything wrong with her coming and going.
Once she got home, Zhao Xiaofang immediately wrote a letter to Zhao Qinglan.
At the same time, Zhao Qinglan also received a letter from Sui Wenjing.
Upon hearing that there was a letter for her, she assumed it was a reply from her hometown and remarked that it was delivered quite quickly.
When she saw that the sender was Sui Wenjing, she assumed that Sui Wenjing was just writing to her to check up on her and chat.
But after she opened the letter and read its contents, she was completely ignited.
Wang Dazhi was right; Xiao Duo was Zhao Qinglan's Achilles' heel and Achilles' heel.
The dragon has a reverse scale, and it will get angry if it is touched.
