Li Huai and his family had a great time at the zoo before heading back home.
Mr. Dou was still wondering why it took them so long to go to a cemetery. When he learned that they went to the zoo, he agreed very much.
"It's finally time to come back. It's really time to take the kids around."
When they were tired from playing, Zhao Qinglan stopped cooking. They went to Donglaishun to eat hotpot mutton together.
This feels completely different from the pot bottom made by Zhao Qinglan before.
The children can't eat too spicy food, but they think the hot-boiled mutton dipped in sesame sauce is quite fragrant. Zhao Qinglan likes spicy food, and she prefers Sichuan-style spicy pot.
The whole family was warmed up after eating, and then they went home chatting.
On the way, Li Huai suddenly said: "Qinglan, we have been here for a few days, do you want to tell mom and others?"
Yes, I haven't reported to my mother that she is safe yet.
However, there was no phone in the store. Zhao Qinglan thought for a while, went home and took out a small notebook with her phone number. Then she went out and called the manager of the meat joint factory where she had contacted to buy meat.
On the phone, she first wished the other party a happy New Year in advance, and then asked her to send her the news that she had arrived in Beijing safely and everything was fine while waiting for her sister to come get the meat.
Hearing that she was in the capital, the other party couldn't help but ask a few more questions.
Zhao Qinglan only said that her man was from the capital, so her family came back to visit relatives.
Good guy, after hearing that she still had connections in the capital, the other party became even more polite to Zhao Qingzhu and the others.
Someone was originally eyeing the additional meat supply from the meat factory, and the leader was hesitating whether to terminate the cooperation with Zhao Qinglan and the others, but now he decided to continue the cooperation. This can be regarded as an unexpected blessing.
In the evening, the family was sitting together listening to the radio, and suddenly there was a knock on the door outside.
Li Huai went out to look at the door and saw that it was Zhang Yu.
"Why are you here at this point?" he asked doubtfully.
"Your dad fainted and was admitted to the hospital last night." He didn't find out until he got home today, so he hurried over to inform him.
Li Huai raised his eyebrows. "Is it serious?"
"That's not true. I heard from my mother that it's not life-threatening. It just needs to stay in the hospital for a while."
Although his mother disliked Li Zhenhua very much, she was in the same hospital after all. As soon as Li Zhenhua was hospitalized, his father still went to visit him.
"Then it's okay. You've come here, come in and sit down."
In fact, even if Li Zhenhua's father died immediately, he felt that he would not be too sad.
Other people's fathers are still fathers, but his father is not as good as some outsiders in his mind.
Zhang Yu is still a little worried. "You said that your dad is hospitalized, so the matter won't just go away, right?"
After all, everyone who was arrested was hospitalized. No matter how serious the result was, wouldn't it mean that it would force someone to death?
Li Huai sneered. "He thinks beautifully."
And he didn't believe Commander Liao would do this.
Yes, Commander Liao did only intend to postpone the meeting for two days, which could be considered as a way to ease Li Zhenhua's mood, but he had no intention of completely bypassing Yu Huimin.
The matter of Huimin's arrest was not that secret. The main reason was that other people were also arrested.
Li Zhenhua is usually in good health, but why he suddenly fainted and was admitted to the hospital? Everyone is curious.
After this investigation, the news that Yu Huimin had committed a crime came out.
People who came to visit Li Zhenhua in the hospital inevitably showed some "sympathy", and some even comforted him and wanted to be more open-minded.
This also made Li Zhenhua feel even more depressed.
After just over a day in the hospital, he insisted on being discharged and going home.
The next day, Zhao Qinglan and the others didn't go anywhere else. Li Huai took a lot of leave, so she took the time to go shopping in the department stores in the capital.
Before coming, she brought all her money and tickets with her, and now she feels confident when buying things.
Even if the money is spent, she is not afraid because there will be dividends later.
Once this woman starts shopping mode, she is still very cruel.
Zhao Qinglan first bought a latest model radio, and then started to choose other things that were difficult to buy at their place.
When Zhang Yu came to their house, he brought a large bag of things that his mother had packed, and even gave him some tickets.
The money is okay, but the scarce tickets are really a timely help.
Li Huai knew that his wife came to the capital this time just to buy things, so he accepted everything without being polite to his good friends.
Zhao Qinglan bought new clothes for the New Year for the whole family, including Mr. Dou.
In addition to the things she wanted to bring to Wu Mei and Wei Hong, she almost used up all the other stamps in her hand except food stamps.
Zhao Qinglan's generosity is very conspicuous even if everyone buys a lot of things during the Chinese New Year.
Fortunately, her husband was always escorting her, so no one dared to steal her.
How happy she is when consuming, but how painful it is for Zhao Qinglan to see piles of things when tidying up.
There were too many things, and the two of them had three children with them, so they couldn't take them back home.
She had no choice but to pick out some, package them and send them to the post office for mailing, which cost a lot of postage.
When they were packing their luggage and about to leave Beijing, Yu Huimin's matter finally came to an end.
As soon as Li Zhenhua was discharged from the hospital, Commander Liao asked people to push forward the matter.
During this period, Li Zhenhua went to see Commander Liao again, and they didn't know what they said in private.
After Yu Huimin and the others found out the amount of military supplies they were reselling, she, the main culprit, was sentenced to two years in prison.
The others are also different.
To be honest, this punishment was much lighter than Li Huai expected.
When he learned from Zhang Yu that Li Zhenhua had gone to see Commander Liao, he sneered.
"It seems that he is still begging for help for that woman. I didn't see that he was so affectionate before."
If he was so affectionate, would he be flirting with other women before his mother died?
Or, in Li Zhenhua's heart, only Yu Huimin is the most important.
Haha, I should have known earlier, right? Three people are a family.
I have to say that Li Huai's guess was correct, Li Zhenhua did go to seek help from Commander Liao.
He handed over all the belongings he found at home and begged Commander Liao for a lighter sentence.
Commander Liao saw his old comrade crying in front of him, and finally let go helplessly.
That's all, a lighter sentence can also serve as a deterrent.
However, Li Zhenhua's face and favor with him were completely exhausted in this incident.
If anything happens in the future, he will never tolerate it.
After returning from the hospital, Li Zhenhua looked at the suddenly incomplete home and reflected a lot.
Reflect on whether I am too busy with work and neglect my wife and son.
Otherwise, he would not even know that his wife had done so many things, and his youngest son would be so useless.
But he is already at this age and will retire in a few years. He feels that he cannot withstand the disintegration of his family again.
So he put on his old face and interceded for his wife who had made a mistake.
He thought that after his wife came out, they would live a good life and they would still be a complete family.
Li Zhenhua's behavior also pushed Li Huai's son further away.
However, when Li Zhenhua finally went to see his wife and told her the result of his plea, he received unexpected feedback.
