Whether it was Battalion Commander Qu or Zheng Xiufen, they all felt a little uncomfortable when they learned that Wei Hong was still in the army and had not left.
In their view, since Wei Hong was divorced and came to the army primary school as a teacher because of her status as a military dependent, she should simply leave now.
But Wei Hong still stayed here, as if reminding the two of them of their previous disgrace, it was strange that they felt comfortable.
In fact, if Zhao Qinglan and Wu Mei were not there, Wei Hong would have left long ago.
Battalion Commander Qu and the others responded indifferently, but Wei Hong was very indifferent.
I probably don't care anymore, so I don't feel uncomfortable anymore.
Once her mother and sisters left, the housework at home naturally fell on Zhao Qinglan.
Fortunately, her children are well-behaved and sensible, and her husband is considerate and helps her with many things, so she feels much more relaxed.
Li Huai's mother passed away and he broke up with his father. Zhao Qinglan's remaining natal family members were also there.
The couple didn't have any relatives to move around with, so they just lived their own little life every day.
The snack bar reopened on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year and also offered new discounts.
If you buy wontons, you can try the new Malatang at a 50% discount. If you buy Malatang directly, you can get a 30% discount.
You can’t choose your own ingredients for Malatang, they all use the same combination of ingredients.
The aroma of this spicy hotpot is much more overbearing than wontons, and few people who smell it don't want to try it.
Some old customers who originally came to the store specifically to eat wontons also switched to eating Malatang.
The bone soup Malatang did not disappoint everyone. It was fresh and delicious. If you like spicy food, you can ask for it to be spicier. The spiciness level is optional.
Malatang is more popular than wontons and is sold out early every day.
Although there were discounts in the days leading up to the sale, it was too good to hold up business.
Every night when doing accounts, Sun, mother and daughter were all smiling.
With this Malatang, although they sell fewer wontons, they still make half the money they used to make every day.
If this continues for a long time, Zhao Qinglan's monthly dividend will exceed 400 in the future.
This good news was shared by Zhao Qingzhu when she called her sister a few days later.
Although Ms. Sun didn't let her eldest daughter run around, she was still concerned about her daughter's pregnancy after all, so she sent the second and third sons to call their sister.
The call was still made to Wu Mei's house.
Seeing that his wife always ran to the next door to answer the phone, Li Huai wondered if he could apply for a phone to be installed in their home.
He doesn't take advantage of the government; they can pay for it themselves.
These days, telephones can only be installed in the name of the public or the company. Even if a private person wants to install it, they will not install it for you.
Zhao Qinglan really hopes to have a phone at home, so that it will be more convenient for everything in the future.
For example, when she answered the phone at Wu Mei's house, no matter how good the relationship between the two families was, there were some things that she couldn't elaborate on, and it was still not as convenient as having a phone at home.
So when her husband mentioned it, she raised her hands in approval.
Just pay as she goes. With the steady dividends from the snack bar coming in, she really isn't afraid of spending money to install a phone.
The couple discussed it, and Li Huai made an application to his group leader, and also mentioned that he could pay for it himself and just use the name of his group to install it.
It's not like they took advantage of the government in vain. Otherwise, if Sun Shengli told the group now, if you pay for it yourself, the group could install the phone in your name. Ninety-nine out of a hundred people would shake their heads.
.
Installing a telephone is not cheap. We usually don’t need to make calls when we have nothing to do. But if there is an emergency, we still need to find a phone to use. So why spend money on it? It is just a decoration at home most of the time.
There are not many people who think like Li Huai. Sun Shengli and the political commissar talked about it, even if they passed Li Huai's request to install a telephone.
Li Huai paid for it himself and installed it in the name of the group, but they still kept a record and signed it.
It also saves people from being jealous and gossiping in the future, so they can deal with it calmly.
The efficiency of doing things in the army is still very high.
As soon as this matter was approved, within two days, he came to Li Huai's house to install the phone.
Wu Mei already knew that Zhao Qinglan and the others were going to install a phone, so it was not surprising. Zheng Xiufen next door was jealous when she saw it.
She didn't think it was a phone that Zhao Qinglan and the others paid for themselves, but thought it was for Li Huai, the deputy leader, to decorate his home.
The older ones and the second younger ones knew that their homes were going to have telephones, and they were very excited. When others installed the telephones, they gathered around to watch.
There are no secrets in the family area. If one person knows it, everyone will know it soon.
The news that Deputy Commander Li had a telephone installed in his home quickly spread.
Like Zheng Xiufen, everyone who heard it thought it was because Li Huai was the deputy leader that a telephone was installed in his home.
Some people took the opportunity to ask Qian Hongxia when their home would be installed.
How did Qian Hongxia know about this? She had never heard of installing a telephone.
No, as soon as her husband came back, she asked him where he was.
"Is the group also going to install a telephone for our house? When will it be installed?"
"What phone number are you pretending to be?" Yang Qingmin was puzzled.
"Isn't the regiment planning to install a telephone in your deputy regiment's home? Li Huai's family has already installed one this morning."
What, why didn't he know about this? Yang Qingmin frowned.
Looking at her husband's face, Qian Hongxia knew something was wrong.
Is it possible that the regiment leader and political commissar are again partial to Li Huai? They only install a telephone in the house of the deputy regiment leader and ignore themselves?
The more I think about Yang Qingmin, the angrier I get. Why, he has been acting with his tail between his legs during this period, isn't that enough of a humiliation?
He was not convinced by this.
Thinking that he had lost his appetite for food, I went to the military camp in the afternoon and found the regimental commander.
Holding back his anger, he immediately asked after being allowed in.
"Captain, is the regiment planning to install telephones in the deputy regiment's homes?" He was not that stupid. After all, the regiment leader was the superior, so he spoke more tactfully.
Sun Shengli had already thought of this and looked at him.
"I heard that Li Huai's house has a telephone installed?"
Yang Qingmin nodded.
Sun Shengli opened the drawer, took out a piece of paper and put it on the table.
"The phone number of Li Huai's family was installed at their own expense. They just borrowed the name of the group. If you want to pretend it, you can. Just go through the same process as him."
What? Yang Qingmin picked up the paper and looked at it in disbelief.
I saw that it was written in great detail, including a detailed list of how much it cost, as well as Li Huai's signature, as well as the signatures of Sun Shengli and political commissar Zhou Hai.
Seeing this, Yang Qingmin knew that what Sun Shengli said was true.
They wouldn't even join forces with Li Huai to fake it just for this reason.
But after knowing the truth, he felt even more aggrieved.
He knew what was going on, but no one else in the group knew.
Everyone will only see that Li Huai, who is also a deputy leader, has a phone at home, but not his. How will everyone think of him?
He left the group leader's office feeling very angry.
Isn't it great to have money? It's just a few stinky money.
Because of this incident, he became more and more eager to make more money.
There was a phone at home, and as soon as it was installed and working, Zhao Qinglan happily made the call.
The three children also gathered around to watch.
If the three of them didn't have anyone to call, they wouldn't be so peaceful.
