The children's lives were peaceful before the start of the school year.
After Zhao Qinglan dealt with Tao Ailian with her strong performance, no one in the military compound openly opposed her anymore.
As for who is jealous and curses her behind her back, she doesn't care.
With his wife and children at home, Li Huai returns home on time every day to enjoy the warmth of family reunion.
As for Li Zhenhua giving his grandson Erwa a red envelope for his college entrance exam success, Zhao Qinglan and the children tacitly kept it a secret.
Several years ago, Zhao Qinglan had heard that Li Zhenhua's health was failing, but she never expected that he would still be able to hold on until now despite his frail health.
She certainly didn't hate seeing the other person alive; she just felt a pang of emotion.
Perhaps it's because she now often goes for a walk with her husband after dinner, living the lifestyle of the elderly ahead of time, that she feels nostalgic for the past.
With the start of the school year approaching, Da Wa and Xiao Duo will start school a little earlier, so they packed their things and left home first.
Li Huai took some time off and, together with his wife, drove the children to the train station.
Actually, there are already flights from Guangzhou to Beijing, and Zhao Qinglan has asked the two children if they want to take a plane.
However, both Da Wa and Xiao Duo felt that plane tickets were much more expensive than train tickets, and since they weren't in a hurry, there was no need to waste money.
Thanks to the upbringing of Zhao Qinglan and her husband, although their family is not short of money, their children do not have the habit of spending money extravagantly.
If she's not in a rush, Zhao Qinglan prefers to take the train, especially a sleeper berth.
After seeing off the two older ones, a few days later, Zhao Qinglan, Erwa, and Ding Yu also set off for Hai City.
This time they bought soft sleeper tickets, which included four berths in one compartment, just enough for the four of them, and there was even a door that could be closed.
Erwa is going to university, and he's so excited that he's been very active the whole way.
"Mom, I don't know if the food at school is any good. If it's not good, how am I going to get through these few days at university?"
Thinking about what he cared about most, Erwa became worried.
"Erwa, are you going to college or just eating at school?" Zhao Qinglan asked helplessly.
Information is not as readily available now as it is in later years. Otherwise, if everyone could easily find out which university has the best food, she really thought that Erwa, with his personality, would choose which university to attend based on the quality of the food.
"Mom, food is the most important thing for people. Eating is so important."
She was amused. "Okay, you're right. Anyway, you're not in a military academy like your brother, so it's not easy for you to come and go from school. If the food in the cafeteria isn't good, you can just eat out."
“Oh, right.” Erwa immediately smiled.
However, Zhao Qinglan immediately added, "Your monthly allowance is fixed. If you spend all your food money in advance, then you're out of money. You'd better figure it out yourself."
She was always worried that her daughter and eldest son wouldn't be willing to spend money, so she would give them instructions.
But if you dare to tell Erwa that he can eat whatever he wants, she's really afraid that he'll just start eating and drinking whatever he wants every day, so she has to keep him on her to some extent.
"It's okay, I still have money saved up," Erwa said nonchalantly.
Then she wouldn't care.
She doesn't interfere with how the children spend their New Year's money or their daily allowance; if they can save it, that's their own ability.
There was no celebratory banquet this time, but Erwa still received a lot of red envelopes, so he probably has quite a bit of money hidden away.
However, the child isn't developing any bad habits; she would never say anything if the money was all spent on food and drinks.
When the train arrived in Haishi, as soon as they got off the train, Lanxin employees from Haishi were waiting outside in their cars.
Zhao Qinglan and her group took a car to the hotel they had booked and checked in.
In fact, Zhao Qinglan owns several properties in Haishi, but none of them have been specially renovated. Some are empty, while others have been simply renovated and rented out.
She rarely comes to Haishi, and her family members never came before, so she never thought of renovating a house here as a place to stay.
However, now that Erwa is studying here, if he continues to stay in Haishi after graduation, we'll have to worry about him a bit.
Having a house doesn't stop her from buying more, mainly because the existing houses aren't near her second child's school.
After checking into the hotel, Zhao Qinglan sent Lanxin's employees away.
Having stayed in hotels many times, Erwa is no longer surprised; he's just eager to visit his own school.
Tomorrow is the day when new students will begin their studies, but they arrived a day early.
Seeing her son's impatient manner, Zhao Qinglan decided to temper his temper.
"You're going to school tomorrow. You'll be staying in school for several years, so what's the rush?"
After being scolded by his mother, Erwa finally calmed down.
"Take a good rest first, then we'll go out to eat together later."
Upon hearing the word "meal," Erwa perked up a bit. "Mom, what are we eating?"
"Can't I let you make the decision?"
"Mom, I'd like to go back to the place we used to eat at."
"Which one?"
Erwa immediately began to describe it, explaining that it was the time-honored restaurant where his family had eaten during their trip to Haishi.
"It's been several years. I don't know if that shop is still there. If it is, let's eat there." She also remembered that the food tasted very good.
Erwa went to rest happily.
The child is happy as long as he wants something delicious. He's still the same even though he's so old. Zhao Qinglan found it funny, but she didn't plan to change him.
This is human nature; it's not something that can be easily changed.
Fortunately, she also likes to eat.
They were lucky; although things have changed a lot in recent years, the old shop hasn't disappeared.
Having already eaten here once, Zhao Qinglan knew what tasted even better when ordering again.
Ding Yu and Liu Dandan were visiting for the first time and had never eaten there before, so they didn't know what it tasted like.
Knowing their preferred tastes, Zhao Qinglan recommended a few dishes.
Once all the food was served, the four of them happily started eating.
When Cheng Tao found out they were coming to Haishi, the Cheng couple naturally found out as well.
Because Zhao Qinglan's family had an unpleasant experience at the Cheng family's home when they first visited Haishi, Cheng's father made a special phone call to Zhao Qinglan this time.
He gave the contact information and addresses of some people in the Cheng family, only saying that if Zhao Qinglan or Erwa needed anything in Haishi, they could call the higher-ups.
In addition to communicating with Zhao Qinglan, Cheng's father also made several phone calls to Haishi.
Zhao Qinglan appreciated the Cheng family's good intentions, but had no intention of using them.
The main reason is that the last experience was too bad. Who knows what the Cheng family's attitude is now? Even if she really needs help, she won't go to the Cheng family.
So she didn't even tell Erwa about those phone calls. After dinner, she took her son to meet the head of Lanxinhai's branch office.
Because the markets in Shanghai and Beijing are the largest and have the most unique geographical locations, they were the first to establish branch offices there.
It's more convenient to contact yourself than to go to the Cheng family, whose attitude is unknown, when something happens.
The big boss brought his son to visit the branch office, and the staff, having been given a heads-up by their superiors, were on high alert.
Who knows if this person is the company's future heir? They'd better behave themselves.
