Although it is a detached house, the military family compound can't hide too much.
Sure enough, when Da Wa brought his girlfriend home, the news spread like wildfire throughout the residential compound in less than a day.
Zhao Qinglan's children are all outstanding; if they weren't still in school, people would have already started matchmaking for them.
Now that we know the eldest child hasn't even graduated yet, he's already brought home a partner. I wonder how many people are feeling regretful and sighing.
Since the eldest child is already dating while still in school, does that mean that Li Huai and his wife don't object to their children finding partners at such a young age?
Even if you missed out on the first child, there's still the second one.
Everyone's attention immediately turned to Erwa and even Xiaoduo.
Li Huai holds a high position, Zhao Qinglan is a successful businesswoman from a wealthy family, and their children are also outstanding and good-looking. Such a perfect match is hard to come by.
If you're going to make a move, you should do it as soon as possible. Even if you can't get married right now because you're in school, you can still date.
Zhao Qinglan was unaware that because Da Wa brought his girlfriend home, many people in the family compound had developed feelings for him.
Besides eyeing the second child and the little girl, they were mostly curious about the eldest child's partner.
Everyone wants to know what kind of girl such an outstanding boy like Da Wa has found.
The eldest son in the family was attending a military academy, which meant he was destined to follow in his father's footsteps and was therefore the most valued member of the family.
He wouldn't just pick any random wife, would he?
Even if they were curious, no one dared to casually come and inquire. Although Zhao Qinglan hadn't been here for very long, she was already quite famous.
People who seem amiable on a normal day can be quite formidable when they get truly angry.
Although Tao Ailian's actions were discreet, she never dared to provoke Zhao Qinglan again and was somewhat afraid of him. Over time, the people in the family area could easily see through her.
The fact that even someone like Tao Ailian could suffer a loss without daring to speak out shows how powerful she is, and how could they dare to offend her casually?
However, now that Ji Rou is here, she can't just stay at home all the time.
When Da Wa took her for a walk around the family area, someone asked about it.
The eldest son was young, and no one was afraid of him.
Some people were more reserved, at most asking what Ji Rou did for a living, while others went straight to asking about Ji Rou's parents.
Upon learning that Ji Rou was also a student at Da Wa's military academy, he felt that she was a good match for Da Wa.
After learning that Ji Rou was also from a military family and that both her parents were in the military, the military dependents could guess from their age that the Ji couple held high-ranking positions.
Given that Ji Rou is also exceptionally beautiful, standing next to Da Wa, they not only seem to be a perfect match in terms of social standing, but also give off the feeling of a golden couple.
Da Wa knew that some of the people who were asking questions were just curious, while others had ulterior motives.
Instead of letting people speculate, it's better to be open and honest.
He would speak up for Ji Rou when she was hesitant to bring it up.
After the two returned home, word of Ji Rou's situation spread.
Just before entering the house, Ji Rou scolded Da Wa, "Why do you say everything? You even said I'm your fiancée."
"You've already met my parents, how far are you from being my girlfriend or my fiancée?"
Ji Rou blushed and pinched him, but Da Wa caught her hand and stole a kiss.
While Ji Rou was being shown some of her girly things by Xiao Duo, Zhao Qinglan and her son started discussing it.
"When will you take some things to the Ji family? We're the groom's family, so we should take the initiative."
After a moment's thought, Da Wa replied, "Mom, I want to go out with Ji Rou. When I take her home, I'll go with her."
It's perfect that they're both on vacation right now, so it's better to do this sooner rather than later. What if his future in-laws have a problem with him?
"If you've thought it through, then it's fine."
"Mom, have you decided where to travel this year? Let's go on a family trip together."
Zhao Qinglan originally wanted to say that the two young people should go out on their own, but she immediately thought that after her son graduated, she didn't know where he would be assigned.
Once you start working, your time won't be so free. As the eldest child graduates, the younger ones will also graduate one after another.
It's probably a rare opportunity for the whole family to travel together again.
Thinking of all this, she said, "Let's discuss it as a family later."
Their family has always been democratic and respects everyone's opinion.
The eldest child naturally agreed.
During dinner, the whole family gathered together, and Zhao Qinglan brought up the topic of where to go for fun.
The children chimed in with their opinions, and even Ji Rou, influenced by their enthusiasm, dared to speak up.
Li Huai remained silent throughout, and seemed somewhat depressed.
Seeing her husband's expression, Zhao Qinglan whispered, "Do you have time off? If you do, let's go together."
"Sigh, I don't know either. Let me sound out my boss first."
If there's nothing important to do in the next few days, perhaps he could take a few days off to travel and have fun with his family.
Not wanting to disappoint his wife, perhaps he could play the family card and cry to his boss, since it was his future daughter-in-law's first visit.
After much discussion, they finally came to the conclusion that they should go to Fujian Province.
Since her sons had already discussed it, Zhao Qinglan wouldn't object.
However, there were many of them going, and she also needed to call her family to ask if anyone else wanted to go. Even if they set off, it would still take a few days to prepare.
Unlike in later generations, it's not as convenient to take a trip whenever you want now.
I made phone calls to several places in the provincial capital and Beijing.
Everyone was happy for Da Wa when they learned that he had brought his girlfriend home. However, none of them were willing to come, either because they had family matters to attend to, didn't want to bother them, or weren't interested in Fujian Province.
In addition to these, Zhao Qinglan received another piece of good news: her brother-in-law, Zhou Jingsheng, had been promoted to the military region.
After all these years of hard work, Zhou Jingsheng has finally made it.
Zhao Qinglan was both happy and gratified.
My second sister's family moved to the provincial capital, which means they are closer to my mother. My mother is in a better mood, and my mother can feel a little more at ease.
Her second sister also told her some gossip: ever since she learned that Wei Hong was pregnant and even gave birth to a healthy baby boy, Naqu Jianshe was greatly shocked.
It's one thing to hear from the doctor that I can't have children, but it's quite another to know that my ex-wife gave birth at an advanced age not long after her remarriage.
How could his wife be happy with him like that? The couple would have a big fight every two or three days, and a small fight every five days, and then they would fight and cause a serious incident.
Qu Jianshe has now been discharged from the military.
If her sister hadn't mentioned it, Zhao Qinglan wouldn't have remembered this person at all.
If Qu Jianshe had treated Wei Hong better back then, they could have lived happily ever after, even if they never had children.
It can only be said that Qu Jianshe ruined his good days because he himself is in this situation today.
However, Zhao Qinglan had no sympathy for him; she felt that Wei Hong was truly happy now.
Her husband is refined, the couple is loving, she has a successful career, and they have children. In every way, she is better off than living with Qu Jianshe.
Each person has their own destiny and circumstances.
Right now, all she hopes is that things will go smoothly for Da Wa and Ji Rou.
