After visiting her son, Zhao Qinglan went to her sister's house and her uncle's house before taking the train home.
She happened to meet her younger sister Qingzhu while she was away in the region. Her mother was also staying at her second sister's house, and she talked a lot about Weihong's wedding.
Knowing that they were getting married was one thing, but the fact that they were holding such a grand ceremony, especially with such a large dowry for a second marriage, made it all the more important.
After Zhao Qingzhu's casual remark, countless people in the family area praised Wei Hong for her good fortune, and the Qu Jianshe family was also in turmoil again.
“No matter how lucky you are, you still don’t have children. What are you pretending for?” Zheng Xiufen said with dissatisfaction.
However, she was quickly proven wrong.
Wei Hong got married at the end of April, and Zhao Qinglan received the good news by phone from Wei Hong in June.
"Qinglan, I... I'm pregnant! I'm actually pregnant!"
Although she had always thought it was Qu Jianshe's problem, and it was later confirmed, Wei Hong felt that she was too old and the possibility of getting pregnant was very small.
In addition, her husband, Professor Lü, had been married before but had no children, so neither of them took it seriously and did not take any precautions.
Unexpectedly, Professor Lü bought some river delicacies and cooked them at home, and Wei Hong felt disgusted when she asked him about it.
Professor Lü thought his wife had food poisoning, so he rushed her to the hospital for a checkup. After the doctor asked what happened, he told them to go to the obstetrics and gynecology department to make another appointment.
The examination revealed that Wei Hong was pregnant.
Neither of them were young, and this unexpected joy almost knocked them unconscious.
They are all happy and looking forward to having their own children.
The first person Wei Hong thought of to share with was Zhao Qinglan.
Only Zhao Qinglan could understand how happy she was about the arrival of this child.
"That's right!" Zhao Qinglan was overjoyed. "Sister Wei Hong, that's wonderful! There are so many things to be careful about when you're pregnant. Wait for me to tell you. Oh well, I probably can't explain it all in a short time. I'll write you a letter and write down everything you need to be careful about."
Actually, Zhao Qinglan didn't need to worry; Professor Lü, who had a child in middle age, had already taken care of all of this.
Since Wei Hong was far away, Zhao Qinglan couldn't offer any other help. Besides sending letters with instructions, she also sent Wei Hong a lot of things, including food and useful items.
Xiaoduo is about to take the college entrance examination, and her mother is naturally worried about her.
"Sister Jiang, don't worry about spending money. There are only ten days left. Buy whatever you think is nutritious and delicious and cook it. If you don't have enough for food, just tell me."
"Oh, don't worry, Mr. Zhao." The nanny has gotten used to calling Zhao Qinglan that now.
My younger sister is about to take the college entrance exam, and my older brother is far away at school, but he still made sure to call her to share some of his experiences and insights about the exam.
Xiaoduo noticed that her brother seemed to know a lot about girls and even gave her some advice. She assumed that her brother only knew these things because he cared about her.
After calling his younger sister, Da Wa went to thank Ji Rou.
"Some of the things you told me were things my sister hadn't even thought of. Thank you so much, they're very helpful."
"If you really want to thank me, then treat me to a meal."
After a moment's hesitation, the eldest child nodded. "Okay, then I'll treat you to a meal at a restaurant when we have the weekend off."
Knowing that Da Wa was going out to eat with a female classmate, the other girls in the dorm started teasing him, saying that Da Wa's good news was coming soon.
When it was time for Xiaoduo to take the college entrance examination, Zhao Qinglan still personally took her daughter to the examination hall.
Because Xiaoduo's exam venue was very close to their home, they didn't even need to book a hotel room for lunch; she could just go home for lunch and rest.
For Xiaoduo, home is a place she feels more familiar and at ease.
With the care and support of her family, Xiaoduo, who had worked hard for a year, finally finished her college entrance examination.
"Sigh, my sister is free now, it's my turn." Erwa sighed with a bitter expression.
Xiao Duo had just finished her college entrance exams a few days ago when her eldest child came home for summer vacation. Since all the children in the family were on holiday, Zhao Qinglan thought of taking the whole family on another trip.
However, before they could decide where to go, Li Huai made a change.
"Qinglan, my job has changed," Li Huai said with a serious expression.
"Oh, you've been demoted?" Zhao Qinglan's heart skipped a beat when she saw her husband's expression.
"no."
"Promoted again after only one year?"
"He didn't get promoted either."
"Where are you going?" Zhao Qinglan frowned.
“I’ve been transferred to the Southern Military Region. It’s said to be a lateral transfer, but it’s just that I’m temporarily acting as a deputy corps-level officer. I’ll probably work there for about a year before they remove the ‘acting’ part and I get promoted.” He was serious because his wife’s family and even her career were all in the Southern Military Region, while he was being transferred there.
Should he insist that his wife abandon everything and go with him to join him in the military? He was too embarrassed to ask.
But he was so reluctant to leave his wife and children if he went alone, which was his biggest dilemma.
Zhao Qinglan breathed a sigh of relief. "It's nothing, you almost scared me to death."
“Qinglan, I must obey orders. I will be going to take up a post in the south in about ten days or half a month. You and the children, I will listen to you.” Li Huai sighed.
"Alright, stop looking so gloomy, smile." She reached out and tugged at her husband's cheek.
"You'll get another promotion in a year, that's great! Going to the south is fine, what's the big deal? Look, Da Wa has already gone to university, and Xiao Duo has finished her college entrance exam. She'll be going to go too once her results come out."
"It's Erwa, right? He's going into his senior year of high school, and it wouldn't be good for him to transfer schools suddenly. Sanwa is fine, but as for me, you don't need to worry about me at all. My company is doing just fine. If it couldn't function without me, what use would I have for all those people working for me?"
