Zhang Yu and Song Yi left that day because they had two children at home, but they made a promise to have a meal and go out for fun together when they had time.
After Li Huai went to the office, Lao Xu, who had promised his wife to seek justice, completely forgot about it as soon as he arrived at the camp. When he saw Li Huai, he greeted him very warmly.
Old Xu knew perfectly well that at home he was just trying to appease his wife; it was perfectly normal for women in the military region to have occasional minor conflicts and disagreements.
If the men in the family come knocking on the door over trivial matters, how can we possibly work together in the future?
Li Huai wasn't stupid. He didn't give Tao Ailian and his wife a cold shoulder because of their argument. Since Lao Xu greeted him, he smiled and responded.
In any workplace, everyone has their own face; those without a bit of cunning won't get to high positions.
Perhaps realizing that Zhao Qinglan was not someone to be trifled with, Tao Ailian didn't deliberately cause trouble for the next few days.
Besides cooking, Zhao Qinglan spends her time watching TV or chatting with her neighbor, Old Mrs. Su.
Grandma Su's son is the director of the military region. He has lived here for many years and is quite familiar with the area.
Grandma Su knew everything that Xiao Chu didn't. Grandma Su's daughter-in-law was also a very gentle woman who was usually away from home during the day because of her work. As for Grandma Su's grandchildren, they were all working outside as well.
The military finally installed a telephone at Zhao Qinglan's home, making it much easier for her to contact people.
As soon as the phone was installed, she called all her relatives and friends to inform them of her new contact information.
As for her own Mercedes-Benz, she also contacted the food factory's delivery personnel to send an extra large truck to transport her car over as well.
Seeing that Zhao Qinglan's family had kept a low profile for the past few days, Tao Ailian was somewhat smug, thinking that Zhao Qinglan should not act like that.
"Once our car arrives, Mom will take you all to explore the surrounding area," Zhao Qinglan said.
"Mom, can I learn to drive now?" the eldest child, who is already in college, said.
"Sure, why not? Once the truck arrives, find a spacious and open place, and Mom will teach you first."
My eldest son is turning eighteen this year. Once he learns to drive, he can get a driver's license, which will be a valuable skill for him.
Erwa and Xiaoduo are too young to play, so they can only envy their older brother.
It's quite thoughtful of them to have their own employees transport the cars.
Before setting off, Zhao Qinglan's secretary from the company called to tell her the approximate arrival time of the car, and Zhao Qinglan began to look forward to it.
"Erwa, come here and take the watermelon out. You've been clamoring to eat it." Zhao Qinglan called out after cutting the watermelon and putting it all on a plate.
Erwa immediately came running in, all excited.
As soon as the watermelon was served, they used toothpicks to eat it. There was still half left unprocessed, so Erwa just picked it up and scooped it out with a spoon.
The siblings were all getting old and didn't like running around and playing like the other kids. The youngest, Sanwa, was lazy and wouldn't go out because he thought it was too hot.
Aside from going out to buy things, this family basically stays at home and doesn't go out much. So, even though they've been living here for quite a few days, they're only familiar with the old lady Su's family next door.
Some people used to think that Zhao Qinglan was extravagant and didn't know how to manage money by buying so many appliances at once, but after that, whenever someone passed by her house around mealtimes, they could always smell all sorts of delicious aromas.
Some military family members also saw Zhao Qinglan taking her child out to buy groceries, and afterwards they didn't see the family do anything out of line. They had delicious meals at home every day, so it's hard to say that they didn't know how to manage their household.
Tao Ailian's cooking skills were average, and since there were only two people in her family, she often just made something simple or went to the cafeteria to get some food.
Being neighbors with Zhao Qinglan and constantly smelling the delicious aroma of her cooking makes me feel uneasy.
When her husband came home for dinner that day, he smelled the delicious aroma wafting from next door and remarked, "That person's cooking is really good; it smells just as good as what you get in a restaurant."
Tao Ailian's face immediately darkened, and she slammed her chopsticks on the table. "If you think her cooking is good, then go eat at her house." Why does everyone think that woman is so great?
When she went out, she heard military families talking about this woman, and their opinions of her were quite positive.
Old Xu chuckled awkwardly. "Look, I only said one thing, why are you so angry? Maybe it just smells good but doesn't taste good."
After being coaxed by her husband for a while, Tao Ailian picked up her chopsticks again to eat.
After her husband went to work, she went to the yard to hang up the clothes she had just washed. She saw Zhao Qinglan directing the children to plant vegetables in the yard, so she started to criticize Zhao Qinglan indirectly while hanging up the clothes.
"What are you showing off all day long? If you're so great, why don't you just fly to the sky? If you're going to put on a show, then put on a big one."
Zhao Qinglan picked at her ears.
Is there a dog barking?
Sanwa shook his head. "Mom, you're insulting dogs."
Erwa laughed so hard he almost choked.
Da Wa and Xiao Duo's shoulders were shaking uncontrollably.
Zhao Qinglan glanced at her youngest son and praised, "The third son is the most promising."
Tao Ailian's face turned pale upon hearing this. Was this an insult, calling her worse than a dog? She immediately stood up, hands on her hips. "Who are you calling names?"
"Let whoever responds curse. I'm in my own yard, can't I even speak?" As if you're the only one with a mouth.
Tao Ailian's chest heaved violently with anger. "What are you so smug about? Didn't you say you were rich? I haven't seen you do anything. You just bought a few more things. If you're so capable, why don't you drive a car yourself?"
The phone rang inside the house.
Da Wa ran into the house to greet her, but Zhao Qinglan didn't even bother to pay attention to Tao Ailian.
However, she ignored her, but Da Wa quickly ran out of the house.
"Mom, our car has been delivered to the main gate. The soldier on guard outside called us."
"Really?" Zhao Qinglan immediately stood up.
Sanwa glanced at Tao Ailian, who was stunned by Dawa's words, and sighed, "Sigh, she was so eager to be slapped in the face, and now even God couldn't stand it anymore and granted her wish immediately."
Although Xiaoduo knows her younger brother is smart, she is really worried that he will get beaten up in the future because of his sharp tongue.
Zhao Qinglan and the children washed their hands and ran outside, leaving Tao Ailian in disbelief.
"How could it be such a coincidence? It's all made up, it must be made up."
That's a car, not just any household appliance.
Anyway, she still fantasized about buying an air conditioner, but she never even considered buying a car.
After all, with her husband Lao Xu's salary, when would he ever save enough to buy a car? And even with that, Lao Xu is considered to have a high income.
Because she didn't believe it, Tao Ailian didn't go inside even after she finished dressing; instead, she went straight to the front door and waited in the distance.
She wanted to see how Zhao Qinglan would handle things if no car drove in later.
No, even if a car drives in, they still need to prove that it is indeed their car. Otherwise, it wouldn't be acceptable to just borrow one to show off.
