Erwa and his friends had only been gone a few days when Erwa's middle school entrance exam results came out.
Although this child is carefree, he still did quite well on the exam, ranking ninety-ninth among students taking the high school entrance exam in the province, just barely making it into the top one hundred.
Perhaps she's a little behind her older siblings, but in any family, she would be a good student praised by her parents.
Zhao Qinglan doesn't necessarily care about her child's academic ranking; she just wants the child to do their best.
Erwa has gone abroad and it's inconvenient to contact him, so I can only tell him his high school entrance exam results when he comes back.
With the main person not present, there's naturally no point in talking about celebration.
Since her eldest son was about to start his senior year of high school, Zhao Qinglan would sit down and chat with him during her free time.
"Big brother, have you thought about what kind of university you want to go to and what major you want to study?"
"Mom, I want to apply to a military academy."
Zhao Qinglan was not surprised at all.
"You're going to take the military academy entrance exam? Your dad will be overjoyed if he finds out. Study hard. Mom doesn't expect you to be very successful; she just hopes you can do what you love."
"Mom, thank you." The more he grew up, the more he realized how well his mother had done.
He and his younger brother were not their mother's biological children, but their mother never treated them differently and always treated them all the same.
Knowing that many of my classmates' biological mothers weren't as good to them as their own mothers were to them and my younger brother, I felt all the more precious that kindness was.
"Silly child, why are you suddenly saying this? Alright, you'll be starting your senior year of high school in a few days. Go wherever you want to go, as long as you don't cause any trouble."
"I know, Mom."
When her husband returned, Zhao Qinglan mentioned that her eldest child wanted to apply to a military academy, and Li Huai was overjoyed.
"As expected of my son."
"What's wrong? Does not taking the military academy entrance exam mean he's not your son?" Zhao Qinglan retorted.
Li Huai smiled wryly. "Wife, I've realized that I'm losing my standing in our family. You can find fault with anything I say."
"What, are you looking down on me?"
"How dare I?"
"That's more like it."
Li Huai secretly wiped away a bead of cold sweat. Could his wife be going through menopause?
He didn't see that Zhao Qinglan was already secretly laughing, teasing her husband from time to time, which she found quite amusing.
It's her own man; if she doesn't bully him, who else will?
Although Madam Sun had gone abroad, she hadn't forgotten about the matter she had previously discussed with Zhao Qinglan: the cooperation between the food factory's products and the Liao Group.
Soon, a batch of goods from the factory was shipped to the port city, and Zhao Qinglan began to look forward to the market's response.
The products are selling quite well in supermarkets so far, and she has even asked the marketing department staff to promote her products.
Because of the commission she offered, everyone is quite motivated, and the progress is going well so far.
Previously, the factory underwent renovations and upgrades, as well as product changes, leaving the long-time employees of the food factory feeling uncertain.
Now that the products are being delivered in batches and we've heard that contracts have been signed with large companies in the port city, the employees are finally relieved.
In the eyes of the employees, Gangcheng is a very powerful place. Their factory products can be sold in Gangcheng, so what is there to worry about?
Erwa and the others haven't returned yet, but Dawa, who is about to take the college entrance exam, has already started school.
The workload for senior high school students is getting heavier and heavier, possibly because the competition for the college entrance examination is getting fiercer every year. The older students have to study late into the night.
Zhao Qinglan's family now has several bicycles. Apart from her third child, the three older children usually ride their bicycles to school.
My eldest child studies science and is currently among the top students in his class and ranked high in the grade.
As long as he continues to maintain this level and performs normally in the college entrance examination, Zhao Qinglan has no worries about her son failing to get into university.
The eldest child had just started school, and Wei Hong contacted her again.
Wei Hong had really thought it through completely, and she had also decided on the industry she wanted to work in: foreign trade.
Perhaps it was because her work was related to this field that she chose this industry when she went into business.
Zhao Qinglan thought this industry had a promising future and supported Wei Hong's choice.
Wei Hong traveled directly to the provincial capital to write an IOU to Zhao Qinglan in person, borrowing 10,000 yuan from her. With this money, plus some savings she had accumulated from her job, she officially began her journey into the business world.
As soon as Wei Hong left, Zhao Qinglan received a phone call from her child in Beijing.
"Mom, we're back. We're at Great-Aunt's house in Beijing now," Xiaoduo said.
"Really? That's great. You and Erwa will be starting school in a few days. Don't stay in Beijing for too long, hurry home."
"Okay, Mom. Erwa and I will go see Auntie and my brother and then we'll go back."
Madam Sun took the two children away, but then personally brought them back.
Zhao Qinglan covered her face when she saw the children's luggage.
When they left, each of the two children had a suitcase, but now they each have three and still have some left over.
There was no other way; some of these items were purchased in the port city, while others were brought back from abroad.
It was thanks to Mrs. Sun and her assistants that the two children were able to bring their luggage back.
After dropping the children off at home, Mrs. Sun went to find her younger sister. Erwa and Xiaoduo happily opened their suitcases to show off the gifts they had brought for their families.
Zhao Qinglan received perfume, lipstick, a scarf, a bag, and a set of skincare products. Her daughter has good taste, and her aunt probably also helped with the advice. She likes all the gifts she received.
Li Huai acquired a tie, a belt, a wallet, and a pair of leather shoes.
As for the eldest and third children, they also received gifts such as Swiss Army knives, imported chocolates, and toy models.
Zhao Qinglan only found out after asking the children that the two children hadn't spent much of the money she brought; their aunt had paid for most of it, which left her feeling helpless.
Besides Zhao Qinglan and the others, Xiaoduo and Erwa also brought gifts for their grandmother, aunt, and others. They are all filial and loving children.
Li Huai received the children's gifts. He didn't show it on his face, but the corners of his mouth curved into a deep smile.
He always had to wear a uniform, but ties weren't practical, so he used his wallet and belt instead, and couldn't help but show them off to his colleagues when he got to the office.
Believe it or not, he really showed off a bit. Everyone knows that his children are all successful, each one is better than the last in their studies, and now they are also so filial, never forgetting to bring gifts for their parents when they go out to play.
Who wouldn't be envious after seeing this? And then thinking about your own child, the more you compare, the more heartbroken you feel.
After learning his middle school entrance exam results, Erwa was very satisfied. He immediately put the results out of his mind and started excitedly telling his family where they went and what they ate.
Xiao Duo would also add some supplementary information. Listening to the two children's experiences abroad, Zhao Qinglan remained relatively calm, while Li Huai and Sanwa were occasionally shocked.
Wow, people abroad are so advanced!
Fortunately, Li Huai had heard his wife say that the country would become very powerful in the future, so he didn't feel ashamed.
As a result, the third child developed lofty ambitions.
