Zhao Qinglan had learned some about Guangzhou City when she chatted with Grandma Su before.
When Zhang Yu and his wife came, she asked them which places nearby were suitable for visiting.
After discussing it with the children, the itinerary was quickly finalized.
After they had packed everything they needed, they left Li Huai behind and went out to have some fun.
Including Ding Yu, there were six of them. Since there were no overloading checks at this time, they squeezed through.
Fortunately, none of them were fat, and the third child was not yet a grown man.
On the way, Zhao Qinglan and Ding Yu took turns driving, while the children squeezed into the back seat.
After they left, Li Huai felt the house was empty, so he invited Xiao Chu to stay at his house.
Knowing that the leader's wife had taken several children out to play and just left the leader behind, Xiao Chu envied Zhao Qinglan's carefree attitude.
Who would enjoy working every day and not want to travel and relax? It just takes money and time, which Zhao Qinglan happens to have.
Tao Ailian didn't realize Zhao Qinglan had left until more than a day later.
However, she and Zhao Qinglan didn't get along, and she didn't know where the family's shop had gone.
Zhao Qinglan only mentioned it to Grandma Su, but Grandma Su kept it to herself and didn't tell anyone else.
After all, Zhao Qinglan's family is clearly better off than others. Even if they achieved it through their own hard work, it's hard not to be envied and jealous. If there are too many good things, it might attract some resentment.
Zhao Qinglan's previous high profile was simply to embarrass Tao Ailian and also to let the people in the family quarters know her strength.
In the future, if their family has any advantages over other families, people will think it's normal, but they won't always be so high-profile and attract attention.
It wouldn't be good if it brought about any bad consequences.
Zhao Qinglan and her group not only had a great time for two days around Guangzhou, but also went to Shenzhen and stayed at their villa for a few days.
As soon as they arrived, Song Yi also brought her two children to join them in the fun.
Although Zhao Qinglan might not live in the villas and houses in Shenzhen even once a year, Zhang Yu and Song Yi take care of them, and someone will come to clean them every few days.
Xiao Duo had lived in her mother's villa before, but Da Wa and the others had never experienced it before, so they immediately fell in love with it.
With his wife and children not around, Li Huai was too lazy to cook and always ate at the cafeteria with Xiao Chu.
As for household chores and cleaning, Li Huai originally did the cleaning himself, but the diligent Xiao Chu took over the work.
Just kidding, if with him as the orderly, the leaders have to do all the cleaning and chores, then he might as well quit.
With Xiao Chu taking over the housework, Li Huai could only tend to the vegetables in the yard when he was free at home.
Seeing that the enticing aroma of food no longer wafted from Zhao Qinglan's house, and that annoying woman had disappeared without a trace, Tao Ailian began to mock her husband.
"Look, she finally couldn't keep up the act anymore and showed her true colors." She really couldn't compare to that woman in terms of money, but she always stayed at home. Women who do business are obviously restless.
Old Xu now knows that his wife just doesn't like Li Huai's partner next door, but he doesn't agree with her and just laughs it off.
Living in their own villa in Shenzhen, and with Zhang Yu and Song Yi looking after them, Zhao Qinglan's family couldn't be more comfortable.
Don't worry about what others think; enjoy yourself however you want.
The mother and her children were so comfortable that they almost forgot about home.
Didn't they say they were going out to play for three to five days? It's been a week and they still haven't come back. When Li Huai got home, he found the house empty and no one was there. Feeling disappointed, he finally couldn't help but call Zhang Yu.
His wife called a few days ago and said she went to Shenzhen, so he could only ask his friend.
Having finally contacted Zhang Yu, Li Huai immediately asked, "Are Qinglan and the others still in Shenzhen?"
"Yeah, what's up?" Zhang Yu asked knowingly.
"Oh, yes, it's nothing, I was just asking."
Zhang Yu joked, "What's wrong? You two are an old married couple, and you miss each other after being apart for a few days?"
"What are you talking about? I was just worried because I hadn't heard from them for a few days, so I asked them."
"Should I tell Qinglan to call you back?"
"Then let's tell her."
Zhang Yu burst into laughter. "Go ahead and think about it. Do you think I'd laugh at you if you told me?"
"No, you'll definitely laugh if I tell you," Li Huai thought. Indeed, Zhang Yu would definitely laugh; look how happy he is now.
Reminded by Zhang Yu, Zhao Qinglan then remembered her husband at home.
"We've been out for several days now, let's go back, otherwise your old man will hold a grudge."
"Mom, Dad's all grown up now, he's not a little kid anymore. Besides, it's not like we're stopping him from going out to play." Erwa really didn't want to leave.
“Go back and tell Dad the same thing.” The older brother glanced at his younger brother.
"I'm not stupid," Erwa said, sticking out his tongue.
It's been quite a while since she came out. Judging by the time, Xiaoduo's college entrance exam results should be out by now, right?
When Zhao Qinglan said she was leaving, Song Yi was quite reluctant to see her go, and Zhang Yu even gave her a gift.
"Pagers, I've seen several big bosses using these things now. I managed to get a few through connections. Here, have one and try it out."
Zhao Qinglan was well aware of pagers, being such an "old relic," but she also knew that they were high-end gadgets for people nowadays, and accepted Zhang Yu's offer.
She found it quite novel, but the older children were very curious.
On the way back to Guangzhou, the children gathered together and kept studying it.
The familiar Mercedes-Benz has appeared, and now the sentries at the entrance to the residential area all recognize it.
As soon as the car entered the family quarters, the military dependents who saw the car were curious about where Zhao Qinglan and the others had gone these past few days.
Because the conspicuous Mercedes-Benz is not in the yard, most people in the residential area now know that Zhao Qinglan is not at home.
As soon as they got home, Zhao Qinglan directed the children to move things.
The trunk was packed full, with some items they bought themselves and others that Zhang Yu and Song Yi had packed.
Seeing Grandma Su come out, Zhao Qinglan also picked up a lot and gave it to the old lady.
"Oh, Qinglan, this is too much."
"Take it, Auntie. Look how much I still have. My family is large, and we can't finish it all in a short time. Please consider this a favor."
"Then I won't stand on ceremony," the old lady said happily.
The old lady never expected that her new neighbor would get along so well with her.
It is said that a close neighbor is worse than a distant relative, and this is especially true for the older generation. After moving to the family compound, the feeling should have faded a lot, but now the older woman has rediscovered that feeling.
Looking out the window at Zhao Qinglan's family returning in style, unloading so much stuff from the car, Tao Ailian, who had just felt comfortable for a few days, felt resentful.
Xiao Chu, being well-informed, knew that the chief's wife had returned and immediately went to report to Li Huai.
If it weren't for the fact that it wasn't time to get off work yet, Li Huai would have loved to rush home immediately.
