In recent years, many educated youth have returned to their hometowns, but there are not many job opportunities, in addition to young people who failed to get into vocational schools after graduation and are now entering society.
There is a severe shortage of jobs in the city, and even temporary workers are not easy to find, which has led to a large number of idle people in society.
In addition, with the reform and opening up in recent years, policy changes, and the increasing number of people doing business, a group of people have gradually become wealthy, leading to a gap between the rich and the poor.
There are also some lingering effects from the movement a few years ago, such as criminals who like to vandalize, loot, and burn.
In short, a combination of factors has led to a decline in public security and a surge in criminal cases.
Zhao Qinglan's incident was merely a prelude to the region's crackdown; even without it, the crackdown would have come sooner or later.
Suddenly, there were more people maintaining order on the streets, and fewer hooligans and thugs.
This is naturally a great thing for ordinary people, and Zhao Qinglan witnessed it firsthand and felt it deeply as well.
Perhaps our country will encounter various twists and turns and difficulties in the process of gradually becoming stronger, but everyone is striving for a better future.
Zhao Qinglan and her family did not attend the full-month celebration for Zhang Yu's twins in Beijing, but they did send gifts.
After staying in the capital for a month, Lady Sun finally returned.
She originally wanted to stay a few more days, but seeing that her little girl was living a good life, and with Zhao Qingju constantly urging her to go home, she finally returned.
Actually, Zhao Qingju knew that her second sister's belly was getting bigger and bigger and there was no one to take care of her, while her mother had been staying in the capital for her sake, and she felt very guilty.
As soon as Sun returned, Zhao Qingzhu also moved to the city and stayed at Zhao Qinglan's house.
Zhao Qinglan asked the children what they thought, and none of them wanted to go back to the provincial capital before the start of the school year. Since their mother had just returned, she left the children behind and went back to the provincial capital alone.
Anyway, there are only a few days left of the holiday, so let the kids have a good time.
Since she came back alone, she naturally didn't go back to live in the compound, but went back to her apartment in the family quarters.
She's back, but the children aren't. To be honest, Li Huai is secretly delighted. This way, the two of them can be more intimate at home without having to hide or worry about anything.
Zhao Qinglan had important business to attend to when she returned to the provincial capital: to find a place to open a shop.
The new store in the area was resolved smoothly, but she had been complacent there for a long time and felt a little guilty. So she spurred herself to work hard and get back to work quickly.
Knowing that housing prices would continue to rise, she tended to buy shops whenever she looked for them.
The provincial capital is actually developing better than the surrounding areas. In the past two years, more and more people have started businesses here, and buying and selling shops is no longer uncommon.
With ample funds at her disposal, Zhao Qinglan had a much wider range of options. After spending two days exploring the province, she found quite a few storefronts available for purchase.
Although she only opened one store for the time being, she was happy to stock up. After careful selection and negotiating the price with the store owner, she finally bought three sets.
One set will be used to open a branch of the military-civilian joint venture in the provincial capital, while the other two will be kept as backups so that they won't go to waste whether we open a new store or rent them out to collect rent in the future.
After she had completed the transfer of ownership of the newly purchased shops, the children, who had been having so much fun that they didn't want to leave, also went home.
With the children back, she naturally moved to live in the yard as well.
The eldest child brought his younger siblings back by car. He stayed at home for two days before going back to school.
This school year, my eldest child will be entering the third year of junior high school, and will have to take the high school entrance exam in less than a year.
Zhao Qinglan felt that the third year of junior high school was very important. She really wanted to stay by her child's side and take care of the eldest child, but she couldn't abandon the other children.
She actually preferred to have her eldest child transfer to a school in the provincial capital.
However, Da Wa said that it was fine for him to continue studying in the third year of junior high school there, so Zhao Qinglan didn't insist.
Zhao Qingju has already married and moved to the capital. Only her maternal grandmother, Madam Sun, remains at home. Zhao Qingzhu is also about to give birth.
Fortunately, Da Wa could go to the military-civilian joint restaurant for a meal, which made Zhao Qinglan feel a little more at ease.
The joint military-civilian canteen is quite famous in the region now.
However, Zhao Qinglan did not deliberately expand the scale, only accepting a few dozen students at a time. This has made the seats at the military-civilian joint canteen highly sought after, with some people even asking for favors through connections.
However, Zhao Qinglan didn't do anything strange; she just followed the rule of whoever signed up first. As a result, before dawn, some people had already lined up.
Once the store in the provincial capital was ready, she started contacting contractors for renovations and also began hiring staff.
She first discussed it with Li Huai.
"For the joint military-civilian store in the provincial capital, I still plan to give priority to hiring military dependents. Brother Shengli's place is too far away, so it's best to find people here."
"You want to talk to the relevant leaders about this, right?" Li Huai understood.
"Of course, it's just that I don't know who to talk to about this." This isn't their old small group anymore, and she's not familiar with the leaders and cadres in various departments.
"Don't worry, I'll ask around when we get to the camp tomorrow."
Zhao Qinglan immediately perked up. "Then I'll wait for your news."
Providing job opportunities for military spouses is such a great thing, how could the military refuse?
After arriving at the camp, Li Huai only asked his colleagues for a few questions before sitting down in front of the leader.
These days, there are few jobs everywhere, and the military region is always worried about finding suitable places for military dependents.
Now that Li Huai has come up with such a great idea, the leader immediately called him over to confirm it.
The military-civilian cooperation was something the military region leaders knew about. In fact, some leaders even wanted Zhao Qinglan to help the higher-ups in the military region set up a similar cooperative industry.
