Even though Zhao Qinglan had made a lot of preparations beforehand, going abroad doesn't mean she would leave immediately.
Xiao Duo's trip abroad is also following the fall semester schedule of other countries.
Of course, she didn't go until then; she had to go some time in advance to get used to it.
However, by the time she received her acceptance letter and made her final decision, it was already May, leaving little time for her family to spend together.
Zhao Qinglan stayed in Beijing with her daughter until May. During this time, she would also visit the new company, or meet up with her younger sister Wei Hong for a meal or shopping. She was having a wonderful time.
After being away from home for several months, Li Huai is almost turning into a resentful husband again.
He felt reluctant to part with his daughter after she went abroad to study, not knowing when they would see her again.
As Xiaoduo grew older, her father still loved her dearly, but since they weren't biologically related, they sometimes had to avoid each other.
Only he himself can determine the appropriate measure in this matter.
Xiao Duo also deeply respects and loves her father, so she didn't notice these small details.
Having made their decision, Xiaoduo and her mother finally left Beijing and returned to their home in Guangzhou.
"Mom, you're finally back! Look how thin I've gotten." Sanwa pinched his arm to show his mother.
Zhao Qinglan sighed helplessly. "Okay, Mom will cook delicious food for you every day, and you'll make up for all the weight you've lost in just a few days."
Sanwa sat back down contentedly.
In fact, Zhao Qinglan also felt guilty towards her youngest son.
Li Huai also vented his frustrations a little, which earned him a heartwarming response from his wife.
Xiao Duo felt extremely reluctant to leave, thinking that she would only be at home for two or three months.
She helps her mother with housework, brings her father water to wash his feet, and buys snacks for her younger brother. She just wants to be nicer to her family.
In the phone call between the third child and his older brothers, especially the second child, the third child boasted, "My sister is so good to me."
The second child still has some childish habits, like being envious and jealous.
Even at home, Zhao Qinglan didn't forget to find a tutor for her daughter to improve her spoken English.
When Xiaoduo went to class, Ding Yu or Liu Dandan would drive her there.
I'll pick her up after she finishes her class.
In addition to classes, Zhao Qinglan also asked Ding Yu and Liu Dandan to teach her daughter some more things.
Although she arranged for a bodyguard for her daughter to go abroad, she believed that relying on herself was better than relying on anyone else. In case her daughter fell into danger alone, it would be best for her to have more life-saving skills.
Xiaoduo has always studied very diligently.
In June, Zhao Qinglan brought the bodyguards she had prepared for her daughter to her.
"Mom, what's this?"
“It’s quite chaotic abroad, especially now that there’s still a lot of discrimination against Asians. I’m worried about you. I won’t stop you from studying abroad, but you have to listen to me on these things.”
Xiao Duo had no choice but to accept her mother's love.
These bodyguards are not only very skilled, but also speak English and are proficient in different skills.
For example, someone who is good at cooking, knows some French, or is skilled in repairs, etc.
He can not only act as a bodyguard, but also as Xiaoduo's assistant in various aspects.
In addition to the bodyguards, Zhao Qinglan also brought out a surprise: the house.
Xiao Duo was utterly astonished. "Mom, this...this must be very expensive, right?"
"No matter how expensive it is, even if you don't live there, it's still a property, so just consider it an investment."
Xiao Duo hugged her mother, deeply moved. "Mom, you're so good to me."
"You're my daughter. If I'm not good to you, who will I be good to?"
Because of the regrets and guilt from her past life, she only wanted to treat her daughter even better, wishing she could present her with all the good things in the world. What did these things matter?
The third child feigned jealousy. "Mom, if I go abroad to study too, will I have any of these?"
"Yes, we have them all," Zhao Qinglan smiled.
Even if she feels guilty towards her daughter, she will not mistreat other children because of it.
It's difficult to keep everyone on the same level, but she will try her best to be fair.
Everything was ready, and all that was left was for Xiaoduo to set off.
They decided that Xiaoduo would go abroad at the end of July to adapt for a while before the start of the new semester.
As soon as summer vacation started, Erwa rushed home, wanting to spend a few more days with her older sister before she left.
He had just started his vacation when the college entrance exams began.
Ever since Erwa scolded her, Wang Lingling hadn't contacted him again. As she entered the high place, she mentally encouraged herself.
In order to keep seeing Brother Yanxun, Wang Lingling, you can do it!
Da Wa and Ji Rou won't have a summer vacation this time, but their assignments have been decided.
To Zhao Qinglan's relief and that of the Ji family, the young couple were assigned to the same military region.
Actually, the school's teachers and leaders knew they were a couple and gave them some leeway.
No need to worry about being separated by distance, Da Wa and Ji Rou couldn't be happier.
They weren't assigned to the Beijing Military Region or the area where their father was stationed, but they were content to be together.
Before officially reporting for duty, they had more than ten days of vacation, so the little one hurriedly went home.
The family gathered together again, and every day was lively and bustling.
Xiao Duo returned to the family quarters before summer vacation, which naturally drew curious inquiries from military dependents.
I was incredibly surprised to learn that Xiaoduo had received her graduation certificate ahead of schedule and was going abroad in the future.
These days, going abroad is considered quite an extraordinary thing by others.
Whenever someone has a relative or friend who goes abroad, they can't wait to show it off to everyone.
Xiao Duo is said to be studying at a prestigious university abroad, pursuing a master's degree. Just hearing about it sounds impressive.
Now she has become a role model for families in the military region in educating their own children.
When Erwa and Dawa also went home for the holidays, everyone was even more envious when they learned about Dawa's assigned destination and position.
In the family quarters, there are quite a few nephews and nieces who also join the army. Even if they have the help of elders in the military and their path to the army is smoother than that of children from ordinary families, they still have to start from the bottom and climb up step by step, and they all have to start from the recruit camp.
But Da Wa, a military academy graduate, becomes an officer as soon as he enters the army, starting at the rank of platoon leader.
Tell me, how come other people's children are all so outstanding? It's really frustrating to compare yourself to others.
Because she was always used as an example to educate other people's children, Xiaoduo unknowingly garnered a lot of resentment from the other children in the residential area.
With the children at home, Zhao Qinglan basically put aside everything else and stayed home every day, cooking, talking to the children, and watching TV together.
Occasionally, I'll invite the kids out for a stroll, a movie, or a meal.
Before Xiaoduo left, she took the children back to the provincial capital so that Xiaoduo could see her maternal grandmother, aunt, and others one last time.
Warm and happy days always pass so quickly. Even though we were reluctant to part, it was time for Xiaoduo to go abroad.
