Chapter 423 The Surprise of Returning Home



In the letter, Erwa raised questions about his parents.

Since the eldest child is away from home for school, he doesn't worry about home much, he just misses it.

Now, seeing what his younger brother said, he also became a little worried. However, he knew that his younger brother's personality was not as thoughtful and steady as his younger sister and younger brother.

After thinking for a while, he wrote back to Erwa, but the letter was full of words of comfort.

It's best for children not to interfere in their parents' affairs. If their parents want to tell them, they will; if they want to keep it a secret, asking won't help.

Anyway, he can suppress his curiosity.

Although he wrote a letter, Da Wa did not forget to call home whenever he had the chance. He was relieved to hear from his parents that he was doing well and asked his sister a few more questions when they talked. Only when he heard that everything was alright at home did he feel completely at ease.

In fact, Erwa was just acting on a whim. After receiving his brother's letter, he quickly put the matter out of his mind.

Because of that factory manager, Li Huai was genuinely nervous about his wife for quite some time.

He was aware of his wife's charm, of course, but he had always trusted her and had never worried about such things before.

It's not that he doesn't trust anyone anymore; he's afraid that other men are after his wife.

So whenever he had free time after that, he would always make a brief appearance in his wife's office, just to remind those with ill intentions that his wife was a married woman.

When her husband was willing to be attentive, Zhao Qinglan was naturally delighted and would never refuse.

Before we knew it, it was December, and the Lunar New Year was just around the corner.

Many employees of Lanxin Company were allocated housing this year and moved into their new homes, making this year's Spring Festival particularly meaningful.

Perhaps feeling that this year was different from usual, Zhao Qinglan held a year-end summary and celebration meeting for Lanxin for the first time, in addition to various year-end benefits.

Because I had informed my subordinates in advance, people from various departments and stores also prepared performances.

In addition to the program, Zhao Qinglan also specifically instructed that some rewards be prepared for the annual meeting.

Zhang Yu had also invited Zhao Qinglan to attend Yaohua's annual meeting, but Zhao Qinglan declined, saying that Lanxin was busy and she would go over after the New Year when she had more free time.

Perhaps because it was her first time attending her own company's annual meeting, Zhao Qinglan mentioned it as soon as she got home, asking if her family was going.

Anyway, it's her company, so it's perfectly legitimate for her family to go, and it'll make things lively.

Not only her, but also other people in the company, she said they could bring their families, just not too many.

Since the annual meeting was arranged for everyone to bring their families, it was naturally scheduled for a weekend, which was perfect since my kids would all be on holiday then.

Li Huai, for example, doesn't necessarily take breaks on weekends.

However, he only hesitated for a moment before saying, "I'll go too."

"Is it feasible? If you have work on that day, your work should take priority."

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing," Li Huai said with a smile. What's a little appearance in his wife's office? He wanted to openly accompany his wife in front of everyone at her company.

When everyone sees how harmonious their family is, he'll see who dares to have designs on them.

If even a busy father like Li Huai is going, how could the children be left out?

Xiaoduo is usually tired from studying, so this is a good opportunity for her to relax.

Zhao Qinglan and the others never expected that there would be a surprise the day before the annual meeting.

The eldest child suddenly appeared at the door, which made Zhao Qinglan extremely happy.

"Son, didn't you say you wouldn't be back for a few more days?" Zhaoqing had, of course, confirmed with his eldest son when he would be home for winter break.

"Mom, I just wanted to give you a surprise," the eldest child said with a smile.

"Silly child, come inside quickly. What do you want to eat? Mom will make it for you."

Erwa and Xiaoduo were still at school, and when they got home and saw their older brother return, they were all incredibly excited.

The children surrounded the eldest brother, chattering away and asking him all sorts of questions.

Even the usually quiet Sanwa was unusually talkative today.

Don't let his usual laziness fool you; he'll never say more than a few words. Deep down, he cares a lot about his family.

Erwa was delighted to see that there were many more dishes on the table.

"Brother, our family's dinner table has been upgraded since you came back."

"What's wrong? Have I been neglecting you all this time?" Zhao Qinglan glanced at her son.

Erwa immediately smiled ingratiatingly. "Mom, no way, you're the best mom in the world."

Zhao Qinglan couldn't help but laugh, and the whole family laughed as they watched Erwa act silly.

Even though there's just one more person in the house, the atmosphere at home is different from usual.

Knowing that the whole family would be attending the mother's company's annual meeting tomorrow, the eldest child curiously joined in.

Zhao Qinglan prepared suitable clothes for the whole family for the annual meeting.

Although she didn't know that her eldest son was coming back early and hadn't prepared any for him, she had already prepared two new outfits for her son for the New Year, and she could take one out to wear tomorrow.

Even though he had only been at school for a few months, Zhao Qinglan felt that her son's demeanor was different from before he left home.

"My eldest child looks darker, but he seems more energetic," she remarked as she lay in bed.

"Military academy is no joke. They must have gone through a lot these past few months," Li Huai thought.

"Sigh, I wonder if he's suffered any hardship. This child only reports good news and never bad."

“When children grow up, they have their own ideas. If they don’t say anything, it means they can handle things on their own. We parents don’t need to worry about everything.”

"You seem to understand everything perfectly," Zhao Qinglan muttered.

"Wife, what do you want me to do? Shall we go and fuss over our son now?" Li Huai raised an eyebrow.

"Get lost, you're so irresponsible." Zhao Qinglan rolled her eyes at her husband and turned her back to him.

Li Huai chuckled softly and then reached out to pull the person into his arms.

Zhao Qinglan cried out unexpectedly.

"Shh, wife, do you want the children to hear?" Li Huai quickly covered her mouth.

The spring scenery is boundless and enchanting.

Over here, the older child was pestered by the younger child to sleep together.

Since we got this big courtyard, the children have each had their own room. Today, the eldest child just came home, and the second child felt like he had a lot to say to his brother, so he squeezed into the eldest child's room.

There are some things that are better left unsaid over the phone or in a letter. My eldest son also wanted to ask his younger brother about his family's situation over the past few months in person.

In Erwa's memory, apart from the time he heard his mother questioning his father, which seemed to indicate a conflict, he really couldn't recall anything else happening at home.

Seeing his younger brother's confused look, the eldest brother decided to ask his sister again tomorrow to confirm, since the second brother, being so careless, was really unreliable.

The second brother was very talkative and enthusiastic towards his older brother, while the eldest brother was so sleepy that he wished he could knock his younger brother unconscious.

As soon as Li Huai got up and went outside, he saw his eldest son running in the yard, and a smile immediately appeared on his face.
