Li Huai found it funny to see his wife talking happily about what she wanted to buy.
But as soon as he finished laughing, he remembered what happened last night, and his face suddenly turned serious.
"Qinglan, what did you say last night when you drank too much? Do you still remember?"
Zhao Qinglan was suddenly startled. Could it be that she said something weird? Her heart immediately rose.
"Did I say something?" She pretended to be confused.
"Hey, Qinglan, although I don't know who you heard said that the college entrance examination will be resumed, but you don't dare to say this kind of thing outside easily in the future. If someone with a heart hears it, you will be in trouble."
Oh my god, did I say it in front of Li Huai?
Zhao Qinglan was secretly annoyed and immediately said: "I will never drink again. Don't worry, I am just talking nonsense. I will never mention it again."
Seeing her like this, Li Huai felt relieved.
"Then where did you hear this news?" Li Huai was curious.
How can I say this? Zhao Qinglan can only fool around.
"I didn't listen to anyone, I just figured it out myself. You see, the country is in dire need of development. You said that the industry does not need talents. These college students are all talents. I just think that the country will definitely resume the college entrance examination.
"
"What you said makes sense." Li Huai was convinced.
I just don’t know how long it will take to resume the college entrance examination. Maybe it’s just one or two years, maybe five or six years, maybe ten years.
This is what they think about this matter, but who knows how it will change in the future.
Of course, he also hopes to resume the college entrance examination as soon as possible.
Seeing that her husband didn't ask any further questions, Zhao Qinglan immediately said that she was sleepy and wanted to take a nap.
I was excitedly planning to buy something, but now I just lie down and close my eyes.
Fortunately, Li Huai didn't think too much, he just sighed in his heart that his wife's sensitivity and ability to analyze problems are quite strong, even better than his own.
If Zhao Qinglan knew what he was thinking, he would definitely laugh or cry.
She is not very capable in this area, she is just a bit of a "prophet".
Li Huai wanted to go to Beijing, so he naturally had to think of a good reason before he could ask for leave.
He had already taken a lot of days off because he was meeting Qing Lan and remarrying. He would be embarrassed to ask for leave again.
But this time when he came to Beijing, he did have one thing he wanted to do.
Before getting off work in the afternoon, Li Huai arrived at the team leader's office.
As soon as I knocked on the door, Sun Shengli looked over.
"Li Huai, come in and sit down while I finish reading this." He raised the document in his hand.
After a few minutes, Sun Shengli came over and sat down on the sofa.
"What's going on?"
"Captain, I'd like to take a few days off to go back to the capital in a few days. Do you think that's okay?" After all, all the cadres in the regiment also have duty hours.
If he takes leave, someone else will have to take his place at the time when he should be on duty.
"Back to the capital?" Sun Shengli was a little surprised. After all, he knew how serious the quarrel between Li Huai and Li Zhenhua, his biological father, was.
Li Huai smiled bitterly. "Captain, I'm not going back to that home. I'm thinking that I haven't visited my mother's grave in a few years. This time, I want to take the children and Qing Lan to pay homage to my mother."
Because of Li Zhenhua and Yu Huimin, he rarely returned to the capital. Since the birth of the eldest son and the second son, he has never been to their grandmother's grave.
Li Huai felt that it was time to bring his family to meet his mother.
It turned out that it was because of this that Sun Shengli also felt some sympathy for Li Huai's evil-hearted stepmother.
If Li Huai's biological mother was still alive, why would a person with such a good family background do this?
Although Li Huai took a lot of days off because of the incident with Zhao Qinglan, in the past few years, he had almost never asked for leave.
Because he didn't go back to his hometown during the Chinese New Year, he often went on duty for officers who were going home. Now that he had something serious to do and wanted to go back, Sun Shengli nodded without much hesitation.
"I can grant you leave, but you have to ask for a few days of leave, and who will be on duty for you when you are away, you have to add it up first."
"Captain, thank you." Li Huai said happily.
Since the group leader is willing to grant him leave, at best he can be on duty for others these days.
Except for Yang Qingmin, Li Huai has a good relationship with other cadres in the regiment.
When he went to discuss changing shifts, everyone who was asked agreed.
In fact, it would be best for Li Huai to ask Yang Qingmin to change his shift. However, he didn't like Yang Qingmin and would rather go to the trouble of finding two more people to change his shift instead of talking to Yang Qingmin.
Li Huai came home late because he was discussing the shift change.
However, when Zhao Qinglan learned that he had been granted leave and that his family would be able to enter Beijing soon, he became happy.
Since you are going to Beijing, you have to buy tickets in advance. The closer to the Chinese New Year, the harder it is to buy train tickets, especially to big cities like Shanghai, the capital.
Because she had three children and thought there would be a lot of people on the train, Zhao Qinglan wanted to buy them all as sleeper berths.
If you want to buy a sleeper berth, it won't be enough for her to stand in line.
So they waited until the rest day before their family entered the city.
After sending the three children to the snack bar and letting them stay in the room where Sun and the others rested, the couple hurried to the train station to queue up to buy tickets.
The train station was packed with people. Whether it was the ticket sales area or the waiting room, there were so many people.
Li Huai didn't want his wife to suffer, so he asked her to wait somewhere while he queued up to buy tickets.
Zhao Qinglan didn't show off, but she didn't go far. She stood next to her husband, talking to him at random.
This way the waiting time will not seem so boring.
The queue moved slowly, and just when it was about to reach Li Huai, the man in front who was buying tickets suddenly started crying.
"Where's my money? I checked it not long ago, but why is it gone? This thief who killed a thousand cuts, I saved up for three years just to go home."
This crying made everyone who heard it sigh.
At the same time, many people hurriedly searched their pockets to see if they still had the money to buy tickets.
While rummaging around, several more people called out.
It seems that this thief took advantage of the crowd to steal from more than one person.
This made Zhao Qinglan nervous, and she couldn't help but remind her husband to check if the money was still there.
Although Li Huai also felt sad for the people who had lost their money, when his wife reminded him, he said helplessly: "If I let a thief get close enough to steal something, I wouldn't have to be a soldier."
He is very vigilant.
Moreover, when the man shouted just now, his hand subconsciously touched the money in his pocket to make sure that it was still there.
As the Chinese New Year approaches, thieves become more and more rampant.
Perhaps because of the shouts of a few people, two railway police officers with red armbands came after a while. They would wander around from time to time, staring at suspicious people like searchlights, and finally let them know.
The thief hiding in the crowd was a little scared.
Zhao Qinglan and the others were lucky. By the time Li Huai arrived, the train to the capital still had three sleepers, which was enough for them two adults and three children.
Li Huai quickly paid for them all and bought them all.
The only drawback is that the three bunks are not connected together. Two of them are bunk beds, and one bunk is in another compartment.
Zhao Qinglan thought that if it really didn't work, she would get in the car and find someone to change her to see if it would work.
Although Zhao Qinglan and Li Huai sympathized with the man who had lost his money and could not return home, they did not do anything out of kindness.
But on the way back, Zhao Qinglan also criticized many thieves.
