Zhao Qinglan never mentioned her experiences in the Soviet Union again after returning.
He dared not let his mother and Grandpa Dou know about the danger that had occurred.
Madam Sun only learned about her niece's experiences because people from the Liao Group also traveled to the State of Su.
She had called to check on Zhao Qinglan when she was in Beijing.
In the capital, some trade with the Su Kingdom continued, but there was no need for Zhao Qinglan and her group to cross the border again.
After Zhang Yu finished dealing with the matter, he returned to Shenzhen with his wife and children, leaving only Wei Hong in Beijing to oversee things.
The business is currently ongoing, but only Zhao Qinglan knows the exact timeframe. Once the Soviet Union disintegrates, their new company can also be dissolved.
Before that, create as much value as you can.
Comrade Wei and others cannot have sacrificed in vain; they must continue the work and do it even better.
This year, none of her children are taking the college entrance exam or the middle school entrance exam, so Zhao Qinglan doesn't have to worry about them and can rest at home.
The stalls in Guangzhou have already been set up, and she only needs to check on them periodically.
The trip to the Soviet Union had taken a toll on her energy. Even though she was very career-minded, she planned to take a long vacation first and spend time with her family.
The person who knew the least about Zhao Qinglan was Erwa, who lived far away in Haishi.
He only knew that his mother had gone to the Soviet Union to do business, but he knew nothing about what she did or what she experienced.
During the time his mother was abroad, he could only call home to chat with his younger brother, or write letters to his older brothers and sisters.
Whether it's the eldest child, the youngest child, or the third child, they all tacitly avoid mentioning certain things to the second child.
Because she knew nothing, Erwa was very happy.
He was particularly fond of his house after it was renovated.
Although he didn't mind living in a dormitory with everyone as a boy, he still longed to relax in his own room occasionally.
For example, taking a bath at home is the most comfortable thing ever.
Influenced by his mother, his house was decorated in a modern and trendy style, even including a bathtub.
Spending the weekend at home, taking a bath, and having a relaxing time is incredibly pleasant.
Erwa always stays out all night on weekends, so his roommates are naturally concerned.
When pressed for details, Erwa mentioned that he had a house in the capital and that he was living there.
To avoid attracting too much hatred, he hasn't mentioned that the house belongs solely to him, only saying it's his home.
Even so, Gan's roommates were extremely envious and clamored to go and see for themselves.
Erwa wasn't stingy; he took all his roommates with him during the next holiday.
After seeing what his house looked like, everyone was even more envious.
"You kid, you got a house right after graduation, saving yourself so many years of hard work."
Although Erwa has emphasized that this is the family's house.
But his home isn't here; he lives alone in Haishi. Who else can use this house?
This is Haishi, you know. How much does a house cost here?
The locals in their dormitory are from Shanghai. Their families are still crammed into small apartments allocated by their parents' work units. Even when their older brother got married, they didn't have a new house.
However, Erwa's roommates, though envious, were all clear-headed and did not have any bad thoughts because of it.
Everyone was just happy that if their roommates wanted to do something, they would have an excellent new base.
After the house was renovated, Erwa never went to the Wang family again, since he didn't have a deep relationship with them.
Erwa may not seem as composed as his older brother, nor as clever as his younger brother, but compared to his peers, he is still exceptional.
Wang Jianshe worked for his mother's company, and he instinctively felt that it was inappropriate to associate with him too much.
He only felt that he could get along with Wang Lingling, but she was a high school girl with heavy schoolwork, and he also had to go to school, so they didn't have much contact on a daily basis.
He continued his studies and life as usual, but Wang Lingling, seeing that he hadn't come for a long time, finally couldn't help but ask her parents.
Wang Jianshe glanced at his daughter. "Lingling, your brother Yanxun also has to go to school. He usually lives at school, so he doesn't have time to keep coming to our house. And you, study hard and don't worry about other things."
After being lectured by her father, Wang Lingling could only bury her head in her food.
It wasn't until their daughter went to school that the Wang couple started discussing it.
"Dad, do you think Lingling might actually have feelings for Yan Xun?" Although she thought the boy was a good person and would be happy if the two children could get along, her daughter still had to take the college entrance exam. It wouldn't be good if her daughter's mind wandered and it affected her grades.
"She's just a kid, and she didn't have many male friends before, so it's normal for her to have some feelings for him. But now that they've seen each other less, her feelings have faded. You don't need to worry."
"Then tell me, what about these two children?"
"It's good to let things take their natural course. Too much of anything is bad. Our Lingling is just as good as her. We just hope they can improve their relationship. We're not really trying to sell our daughter."
"That's true, then let's leave it at that."
On the surface, Wang Lingling didn't say anything more to her parents, but in her heart, she was already planning when she could go to Erwa's school to visit him and see him.
She didn't have any particular thoughts, she just wanted to see him.
Because they had chatted quite well before, she knew Erwa's department and class.
Military academy.
As Da Wa came out of the training field, he saw Ji Rou waiting outside with a water bottle, and his expression softened.
After a few classmates started making a fuss, he chased them away.
The two sat down on a bench by the roadside, took the water bottle and drank a few sips of water, and then a handkerchief appeared in front of the older child.
"Quick, wipe your sweat off, your forehead is covered in sweat."
Da Wa didn't take a handkerchief; he simply grabbed Ji Rou's hand.
"Ji Rou, the holidays are coming soon, what are your plans?"
"What can I do? I'll just go home."
"How about we go out and have some fun together? Every summer vacation, my family goes on a trip. This time, I'd like to go with you."
Ji Rou blushed and pulled her hand back. "It's not just the two of us, is it?" She panicked.
The eldest child smiled. "It's fine with just the two of us, or even with more people. It's up to you. Actually, I'd like to take you home too."
According to the teachers, they will have fewer classes in their senior year, but will have to do more practical exercises. After graduation, they will be assigned to the military.
In the future, it probably won't be so easy for me to go out with Ji Rou or even my family.
Just look at my father. Over the years, because of his work, he often couldn't go out with them and could only watch them leave.
He wanted to make the most of his remaining free time at university.
"I'm fine with anything, you can arrange it." Ji Rou said shyly.
"Okay, then I'll make the arrangements."
After Zhao Qinglan finished her call with her son, she quickly called her husband.
Li Huai was writing something in his office when he suddenly received a call from his wife. He thought something urgent had happened at home.
Zhao Qinglan excitedly said, "Da Wa is going to bring Ji Rou back during the summer vacation."
Because of this, there were still quite a few days left, so she kept busy at home.
