Zhao Qinglan's first call was to the clothing factory, and it was to Sui Wenjing.
"Hello, I'm looking for Sui Wenjing. My name is Zhao Qinglan."
Sui Wenjing came over after a while.
"Hey, it's me, Sister Sui. Yes, my home has a phone. Let me tell you. Yes, please remember my home phone number..."
Sui Wenjing was also happy for her when she learned that their home had a telephone installed.
The two chatted for a while before hanging up the phone.
Apart from Sui Wenjing, Zhao Qinglan has no one he can call.
Of course, she also had two things to inform, one was Grandpa Dou who was in the capital, and the other was her mother.
Grandpa Dou, they can just write in the letter the fact that a telephone is installed at home and the phone number.
As for her mother, it's easy. Next time her sister calls, just give them her home phone number.
Even if there is no phone to call, the three children still come over and touch them, and I will pick them up, look at them and listen to them.
Zhao Qinglan only told them to handle it with care and not to damage the phone, and did not stop the children from exploring.
After all, he is still a child, so it is normal to be more curious.
If she hadn't already experienced a future with advanced technology, she would probably have been missing a phone for a long time if her home was suddenly equipped with one.
On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, during the Lantern Festival, Zhao Qinglan made some sesame dumplings by hand.
Sesame seeds were also rare. After she made them, she gave some to Wu Mei and Wei Hong.
Wu Mei's family had a large population, so they gave some more as gifts.
However, the glutinous rice balls she made were very big after being cooked in the pot, and it was enough for one person to taste a few.
The children loved the sweet sesame glutinous rice balls and even drank up the juice that leaked into the water.
Looking at the way they eat it, Zhao Qinglan is reminded of black sesame paste.
Not to mention she really wanted to eat it.
She was originally someone who loved cooking and tasting delicious food. She became pregnant since then. Although she occasionally suffered from morning sickness, her appetite was still very good and she wanted to eat a lot.
Thanks to their family's comfortable conditions now, otherwise, Li Huai's allowance alone would be a bit tighter.
After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the schools started.
According to Zhao Qinglan's plan, the eldest child should also attend a military primary school this semester.
With the foundation she had laid for the eldest child at home, even if the eldest child missed one semester of classes in the first grade, he could still keep up with his peers, and even surpass others.
Zhao Qinglan personally sewed a schoolbag for her eldest child before he went to school.
With the aesthetics and vision of later generations, the schoolbags made by Zhao Qinglan are much better-looking than those commonly used by everyone today.
The baby couldn't put it down as soon as he saw it.
Erwa and Xiaoduo were also very greedy and begged their mother to make them new schoolbags too.
Zhao Qinglan had no choice but to promise to make a beautiful schoolbag for each of the other two children when they went to school.
Now it's better, Erwa and Xiaoduo just want to go to school right away like their elder brother.
Unexpectedly, the children wanted to go to school just for a nice new schoolbag, and Zhao Qinglan was also dumbfounded.
If the second baby and Xiaoduo go to school now, because they have studied with the eldest baby at home before, they won't be unable to keep up, but Zhao Qinglan doesn't want the children to go to school so early.
She wants them to do the right things at the right age.
Now they can still have fun and wait until they go to school. This time, for at least ten years, they will not have the chance to play happily.
The eldest child only came to school in the second semester, which is actually considered a transfer.
The principal of the army primary school was very responsible. He brought the papers for the final exam of the first semester of the first grade and asked Da Wa to do it.
The eldest child performed very well, with a score of 100 in mathematics and a score of 98 in Chinese.
I still wrote the wrong words due to carelessness.
Seeing the results of the eldest child, the principal happily accepted him.
Da Wa also started his own student life.
The elder brother, Dawa, was suddenly missing from the family, and Erwa and Xiaoduo were a little strange.
They know where the army primary school is, so they always go there together, and sometimes they secretly listen to classes outside Dawa's classroom.
The teacher in class saw it and called the two of them in and asked them to sit down in the free seats.
Erwa and Xiaoduo are very well-behaved. The teacher did not understand their situation and was originally worried that they would not be able to sit still, but he did not expect to be so obedient.
When we were teaching Pinyin, there was a boy who couldn't learn it no matter what. The teacher suddenly looked at Xiaoduo.
"Little girl, can you fight?"
"I will." Xiaoduo nodded.
"Teacher, I can do that too." Erwa quickly raised her hand.
"Then you all try your best."
In the end, both Xiaoduo and Erwa got it right.
The teacher immediately looked at the boy who couldn't learn anything with hatred.
"Look, my little brothers and sisters have learned how to do it, but you still don't know how to do it. Are you ashamed?"
After such a comparison, the boy was indeed ashamed.
The other children looked at them in awe.
The eldest child looks proud that my younger brothers and sisters are so smart.
If he had experienced the future life, he would probably want to say that compared to my brothers and sisters, everyone here is rubbish.
Erwa and Xiaoduo ran out to play together. Zhao Qinglan wasn't too worried, but the children never came back, so she was still a little worried.
Zhao Qinglan didn't know the feats of the two children until after school at noon, when the eldest son came back with his younger brothers and sisters.
It's not impossible if the children occasionally go to school to follow the class and learn. After all, the teacher let them in first, right?
Having younger brothers and sisters behave like this makes the eldest child feel that his performance is good, and he cannot be compared with his younger brothers and sisters.
For this reason, his eagerness to learn has become stronger.
As for Zhao Qinglan, even though she was pregnant, she did not stop studying junior high school textbooks.
Whenever she encounters a problem that she doesn't know how to deal with, she will still wait for her husband to come back and ask about it.
Wei Hong seems to have gotten the hang of it by studying. As long as he doesn't go to class every day, he will study hard in the dormitory.
She felt that the exercises in the textbook were not enough, so she wrote to her former classmates and friends, asking them to help her find corresponding review materials.
The other teachers in the dormitory saw Wei Hong like this and laughed at her inwardly, thinking that she was wasting her time doing useless work and that she might as well take a good rest and relax if she had that time.
Then much later, they realized what they had missed.
As soon as this year is over, the weather is getting warmer day by day.
After Zhao Qinglan agreed with her mother and sister to buy a refrigerator, she inquired about the models of existing refrigerators.
Buy the tickets needed for the refrigerator and have them ready when the weather warms up.
Spring is coming, and Zhao Qinglan and her family have also added an imported refrigerator.
As soon as the refrigerator was moved back, Wu Mei and even many military wives who heard the news came to watch.
In this family area, who doesn't envy the life of Zhao Qinglan's family now?
Nowadays, people have telephones and refrigerators at home, and their quality of life has been greatly reduced.
Knowing that Li Huai's family was in an unusual situation, no one doubted where the money to buy the refrigerator came from. Everyone felt that everything they had in their home seemed normal.
Li Zhenhua, a father, came to the group to make some contribution to Li Huai and his family.
