In two lifetimes combined, Zhao Qinglan has never seen Li Zhenhua.
She knew that Li Huai had a bad relationship with her father, Li Zhenhua, but she was still a little nervous when she heard that someone was coming.
It's the mentality of an ugly daughter-in-law meeting her parents-in-law. Even if Li Zhenhua's father-in-law doesn't have a good relationship with Li Huai, he is still her father-in-law after all.
Hearing that there was no sound on the phone, Li Huai was a little worried and said: "Qinglan? Qinglan?"
"Oh, I'm fine." Zhao Qinglan came to her senses and responded quickly.
"You don't have to worry too much. He can come when he comes. Just treat him like an ordinary elder. You don't have to be so polite to him. If he does anything excessive, you don't have to tolerate him." Li Huai expressed himself clearly.
attitude.
"Okay, I understand." She calmed down a little after being comforted by Li Huai.
Yes, she is married to Li Huai and not living with her father-in-law. She just needs to be polite on the surface.
But as soon as she got home, she immediately called her three children.
"Mom, what's wrong?" Dawa asked curiously.
"Mom has something to tell you."
Seeing how serious she was, the three children were very curious.
"Today, an old man may come to the house. He is the grandpa of the first and second sons."
As soon as she finished speaking, the second child rushed to answer. "Do I still have a grandpa?"
The eldest son knows that he has a grandfather, but he has never met him.
"Yes, he is your father's biological father, and he is also your grandfather. However, your father and your grandfather do not have much contact. If your grandfather comes to the house, you should still call him. Don't be too rude, you know?
?" she warned.
In front of the children, she would not mention anything about the bad relationship between father and son. There was no need to involve the children in the adults' affairs.
The eldest child and the second child nodded one after another, looking forward to the grandpa they were about to meet.
Especially when Zhao Qinglan went to clean up the house, Erwa secretly asked her brother.
"Brother, do you think that if grandpa comes, he will bring us delicious food and toys?" There were officers in the family area who also brought the father and mother.
When he saw other grandfathers, he was very kind to his own grandson.
Occasionally, friends will show off what good things their grandparents back home have sent them.
He used to wonder why he didn't have grandparents to send things to.
In fact, the house was not messy, Zhao Qinglan would clean it every day, but when she thought that her father-in-law might come to the house, she couldn't help but want to clean it up.
Even if she just married Li Huai to live her life, deep down she didn't want Li Zhenhua to look down upon her.
Da Wa and the others are very sensible. Seeing Zhao Qinglan keep cleaning up, they all joined in to help.
Not long after, Li Zhenhua's car drove into the camp area of Li Huai and his regiment.
When the sentry at the gate saw that the ID he showed was from the military region, he immediately called for instructions.
Sun Shengli already knew that someone from the military region was coming, so he naturally let him go immediately.
Li Zhenhua was also curious about where his son worked over the years, so he kept looking outside through the car window.
The environmental facilities here are naturally inferior to those in the capital.
But Li Zhenhua looked at everything passing by with a nostalgic look.
This reminded him of the situation when he traveled to various places to fight in wars.
The car was about to drive into the military camp, but Li Zhenhua thought of the purpose of his trip and said directly: "I won't enter the camp, take me to the family area."
It is inevitable that there will be another round of socializing and a waste of time.
He said so, and the accompanying staff could only ask for the location of the family area.
However, they were stopped by Sun Shengli at the gate of the family area.
"Hello, Chief!" As soon as they saw Li Zhenhua get out of the car, Sun Shengli and several people behind him all saluted with a military salute.
Li Zhenhua nodded.
The military staff who were following him naturally recognized Sun Shengli and quickly whispered a few words to Li Zhenhua.
"It turns out to be Captain Sun, hello, hello." Li Zhenhua immediately extended his hand.
The chief even reached out his hand, and Sun Shengli immediately extended his hand to shake his hand. "Good chief, good chief."
I am still slandering in my heart, this Li Huai is really not that similar to his father.
"I'm not here for official reasons. I just want to meet my family. You're welcome, Captain Sun. Let's all leave."
To outsiders, his attitude is quite approachable.
It would be better not to check. Sun Shengli immediately waved the others to leave, and he walked in front and started to lead the way.
That's right, the car stopped at the door of the family area and did not drive in again.
The cars in the military area were more conspicuous, and Li Zhenhua didn't want people from the family area to watch.
But he was personally accompanied by the regiment leader Sun Shengli, and the military rank on his uniform was so conspicuous and intimidating.
Among those who can serve as military subordinates, there are a few who cannot understand military ranks.
As soon as they walked in, they met many surprised military families along the way.
Especially those sitting in a group talking.
"Where does that high-ranking official come from? He still needs to be accompanied by the head of the regiment."
"Good guy, have you seen his military rank? He's still a general!"
There were very few officers of such a high rank in their regiment, so everyone became curious.
On the way, Li Zhenhua also asked about the situation of Sun Shengli, Li Huai's family.
"Chief, Li Huai is still working in the office. Do you want me to call him over?"
It would be a lie to say that he didn't want to see his son at all, but when Li Zhenhua thought about himself and his son, he didn't have a good conversation several times. After hearing this, he hesitated for a few seconds and shook his head.
"No, just take me to his house. There is no need to delay his work. The children are all here, right?"
"Chief, Comrade Zhao Qinglan occasionally takes the children into the city. I'm not sure whether they are at home or not," Sun Shengli explained.
Li Zhenhua frowned. Sure enough, this new daughter-in-law was not sensible. Why would she take the children into the city in the cold weather?
Because of the things his wife Yu Huimin said to him, he had a bad impression of Zhao Qinglan, a daughter-in-law he had never met.
"How are the two children?" He asked with concern about his grandchildren.
Sun Shengli also quickly understood that he was asking about his two grandsons.
"Don't worry, chief. The first and second sons are very good. Comrade Zhao Qinglan is also very kind to them. Their daily meals make me, a neighbor, extremely envious."
When he heard that his two grandsons were eating well, Li Zhenhua's complexion improved a lot, and his new daughter-in-law seemed to have some sense of proportion.
Otherwise, he would not obey his two precious grandsons if they were wronged.
Li Huai saw the group leader and the others leaving, and soon someone came back. He hurried over to ask.
"People are coming?"
"Yes, Deputy Li, do you want to go over and meet the leader?"
Li Huai shook his head. The group leader had asked him before, but he didn't answer.
Mainly because I don’t have much time before I get off work.
In fact, he was in a very complicated mood and didn't know what to say when he met his father, so he was delayed for a while.
Zhao Qinglan and the others had just finished packing, and the second son, seeing his eagerness, ran to the door to take a look.
As soon as she sat down to slow down, she heard Erwa shouting.
