As an old married couple, Zhao Qinglan didn't get too excited or lose her composure when she saw her husband. Instead, she kept telling him about Wei Hong's chubby son.
Li Huai complained like a child. "It's been so long since you've seen me, and you don't even care about me."
Xiao Chu and Ding Yu had already tactfully left.
Sanwa originally wanted to talk to his mother, but he quickly disappeared after hearing his father's words.
Never mind, he'll wait until his father and mother have finished being affectionate before showing up.
He increasingly felt that his father was childish in front of his mother, and that he could no longer see the demeanor of a military commander when he was out in public.
Despite his complaints, he still needed to give his parents some space to spend time together.
Zhao Qinglan chuckled. "Are you serious? You're even jealous of a child."
"As for why you left me here all alone without a care in the world," he said, now that there was no one around, he spoke with even less restraint.
"I think you're not even as good as Sanwa now."
"How can you compare them?"
"Why can't we compare? You're getting more and more childish."
"Qinglan, don't you miss me?"
"Aren't you ashamed? We're getting old, what are you thinking about? In a few more years we'll be grandparents."
Seeing that his wife still didn't seem to care, Li Huai became unhappy.
"No matter how old you are, you'll still be my wife."
"Yes, yes, I was just saying, how come I never realized you were so clingy?"
"Well, now you know."
Zhao Qinglan could only appease him and show her concern for her husband before Li Huai was satisfied.
When the topic turned to their children, Li Huai listened intently, and Zhao Qinglan didn't hide anything from Han Yi's warning.
“Our daughter is quite popular. I wonder what kind of son-in-law she will bring home in the future.”
"Xiaoduo isn't that old, why is she taking in a son-in-law? She should focus on her studies and play for a few more years." As a qualified father, he naturally disapproved of sons-in-law.
Knowing her husband's petty nature, Zhao Qinglan was too lazy to argue with him, and only thought about contacting her daughter more frequently in the future.
Although the pager wasn't very reliable, she was thinking of getting one for her daughter.
Zhao Qinglan thought that buying one was the same as buying one, so in the end it was like she was doing wholesale. Her husband, son, daughter, mother, and sister, except for the youngest child and the second child who was preparing for the college entrance examination, almost everyone in the family had one.
While running her business, she noticed that more and more business owners are indeed using this thing now.
She didn't care how much it cost; she just wanted it to be easy to stay in touch.
Everything becomes popular quickly in Beijing, and the pager signal is still good. In the provincial capital, pagers are really not very useful now, but it's better than nothing.
When Erwa saw that his older siblings all had pagers, he became even more determined to finish the college entrance exam as soon as possible and gain his freedom.
Didn't you see that your older brother not only uses a pager now, but he's almost driving a car too? He'd better work hard and catch up with his brother as soon as possible.
My daily motivation for urging my second child to work hard is that once he goes to university, he can eat, drink, and have fun more freely.
Because of the welcome party, more boys at school noticed Xiaoduo.
However, after being warned by Zhao Qinglan, Han Yi, being quite proud, stopped harassing Xiao Duo. In private, he didn't want other boys to fawn over Xiao Duo, thus secretly hindering many boys who wanted to pursue her.
Without Xiaoduo's knowledge, he actually helped her solve a lot of troubles.
Under the repeated guidance of her older brother and mother, Xiaoduo, although still yearning for love, no longer dwelled on it and her mind returned to her studies.
I go to class and eat with my roommates every day, occasionally gossip, and when I'm on vacation, I relax in my own little apartment and visit my aunt and great-uncle. Life is pretty good.
The eldest brother visited his younger sister several more times. Seeing that the area around her was quiet and no one was eyeing her, he was finally relieved.
As for him, although he and Ji Rou had not made it clear, everyone around them assumed that the two were a couple.
The two would occasionally eat together in the cafeteria or take a walk together on the school road.
They both seemed to enjoy the feeling, but neither of them told their families.
Although Zhao Qinglan and her husband would sometimes discuss what kind of daughter-in-law their eldest son would find in the future, they were less worried about it than Xiaoduo, their daughter, because their eldest son was a boy.
In addition, the couple assumed that their eldest son was in a military academy and would be too strict to date, so they didn't ask him about it and let him gloss over it.
After Zhao Qinglan returned to Guangshi, she didn't go out and cause trouble for a long time. Several stores she had prepared in Guangshi opened one after another, and she couldn't leave.
Since she's here, she naturally wants to develop her business in the south. Considering the future development prospects of Guangzhou, it's a good thing for her to make early arrangements to seize the market.
Since they live so close by, when she opened several stores, Zhang Yu and his wife not only sent opening gifts, but also personally attended to offer their congratulations whenever they had time.
Zhang Yu has been based in Shenzhen for many years and has a wide network of connections. He introduced Zhao Qinglan to many people and paved the way for her to make friends.
Zhao Qinglan is one of Yaohua's major shareholders. Now that Zhang Yu is personally leading her and formally introducing her, those people will have to consider her importance.
Normally, it's not easy for outsiders to do business in a certain place, but Zhao Qinglan has had a smooth journey. It has to be said that Zhang Yu and Yaohua's background has helped a lot.
And then there's Li Huai. Although he has never openly contributed to his wife's business, his presence alone makes him a significant figure of influence for Zhao Qinglan.
His current rank is enough to impress many people.
Zhao Qinglan's business was going well, so she was naturally in a good mood. When she was at home, she would always cook delicious food for her husband and son, who were indeed very fortunate to have such good food.
Knowing that his second brother cared about this, the third brother always tempted his second brother. The second brother was no match for his cunning younger brother, so he could only use one trick to fight back: he was about to escape his suffering, while his younger brother still had several years to endure.
But is Sanwa afraid of this? Studying has never been a difficult thing for him.
Now, whenever he has free time, in addition to his school classes, he reads a lot of physics books and materials.
When Zhao Qinglan discovered that her youngest son had developed this hobby, she was very supportive and even helped him borrow or buy more books.
If she knew that her son's interest in physics stemmed from his desire to uncover her intimate, hidden secret, I wonder if she would still be so supportive of his hobby.
Ever since they became aware of their mother's unusual behavior, an extra eye has been watching over the family. Without Zhao Qinglan's knowledge, her youngest son has been treating her as a subject of observation and research.
Of course, Sanwa wasn't stupid. He didn't tell anyone about this; he just pondered and researched it on his own in private.
Zhao Qinglan had planned to share her deepest secret with someone other than her husband, but she wasn't as guarded at home. Over time, her words and actions revealed some of these things.
The three children, with their keen observation, became even more inquisitive.
