After the holiday, the weather is not as cold as winter, and the family area is now full of children.
After everyone knew that the tension in the military camp the past few days was related to the so-called enemy agents, no matter where they went, everyone was talking about this matter in private.
The children are so impressed that they play contact games and catch people more often.
In the military camp, including the family area, it can be said that everyone is a soldier now. If there is anything abnormal, someone will definitely notice it.
Even Zhao Qinglan was curious about where this enemy agent was hiding.
After learning that enemy agents were causing sabotage, Li Huai repeatedly warned his wife and children.
Even in military camps and family areas, it is not 100% safe, so they should be more vigilant every day.
Zhao Qinglan has such a big belly that she won't go anywhere else except Wu Mei or Wei Hong. Whenever she goes into the city, her husband will accompany her.
As for the three children, they were either at home or outside playing wildly with other children from their families all day long, and would not run out of the family area.
Overall, the mother and son are quite safe.
After Zhao Qinglan came here with Li Huai, except for the army, that is, going to the city to buy things or going to snack bars, she has never been to any other places around her and doesn't know much about them.
Because of this incident, when she and Wu Mei were sitting together for a chat, she couldn't help but ask about some of the surrounding situations.
There are several villages not far away from the army. Occasionally, family members will buy some vegetables or eggs privately from the villagers.
Thinking about the large number of spy movies and TV series she had watched, Zhao Qinglan was thinking that the enemy agents must have been watching the troops for more than a day or two, and they might be hiding in a few nearby villages.
It doesn’t have to be a strange face from outside, it could also be a local person.
Whether it was the nails that were planted when the other side left, or the people who were bribed to lurk later, it's possible for everyone.
Her ideas are much broader than those of the masses today.
It was difficult for her to express these thoughts when facing Wu Mei.
When her husband came back in the evening, she raised it as a guess.
Needless to say, this really gave Li Huai some ideas.
"Qinglan, I will ask the group leader and others to mention what you said, but you should stop thinking about these things in the future and take good care of yourself."
Now she and the baby in her belly are the top priority.
"I know, I'm not stupid."
After Li Huai went to the military camp to express these thoughts in his own name, Sun Shengli praised him greatly.
They really don't pay much attention to the fellow villagers around them.
Li Huai spoke out in his own name, not to seize benefits, but just because he didn't want his wife to bear unnecessary trouble.
After Zhao Qinglan's popsicles were made, they received unanimous praise from her family.
Fortunately, Li Huai didn't pay much attention to these snacks. The children were very happy.
Not being able to eat it at home, the three siblings had to go outside with one to show off.
Especially the second child, who would stand in front of other children and suck once and then again.
This is so satisfying that some children are drooling.
In this family area, they are the only family that currently has a refrigerator. Even if other families want to make popsicles, they can't make them because they don't have the necessary tools.
As for the non-staple food store in their family area, no one sells popsicles. If you want to eat them, you have to go to the city to buy them.
No parents in the family area would go to the city specifically to give their children a popsicle, but it would be unrealistic to buy it and bring it back when they go into the city. They are not only a few minutes away from the city.
By the time the popsicles were brought back from the city, they had already turned into water.
For this reason, when Zhao Qinglan went out to buy things, she was stopped and accused by countless military wives.
No one dared to say anything unpleasant, they just begged her not to let their children go outside with popsicles to feast on others.
As soon as Zhao Qinglan came home, these three children were called to them.
They bluntly said that from now on, popsicles can only be eaten at home and are not allowed to be taken outside. If they go out again and deliberately indulge in others, there will be no such thing as popsicles at home in the future.
This really shocked the eldest child and the others, especially the second child, who repeatedly promised never to do such a thing again.
However, within two days, the eldest child returned home dejectedly after playing war games outside.
"What's going on?" Zhao Qinglan asked curiously.
"Mom, I lost a bet with someone else, can you take one of our popsicles out?" Who asked the other party to only want this.
"You still bet?" Zhao Qinglan frowned.
Looking at her expression, the eldest child bowed her head in embarrassment.
"Okay, I'm not scolding you. You can take out the popsicles, but don't bet casually in the future. This is not good." Since her children have made promises to others, she doesn't want her children to break their promises.
Seeing that she agreed, the eldest child immediately became happy.
But as soon as the eldest child left, the second child lingered there as if he had something to say.
"What's wrong with you?" Zhao Qinglan glanced at him.
"Mom, can I sell our popsicles?" he asked cautiously.
"Did you think it yourself? Or did someone else say something?"
Erwa touched his head. "Someone asked me if I could buy our popsicles."
Selling popsicles? Zhao Qinglan has never thought about this.
She only makes popsicles for her family to eat, and she really has no intention of starting a business in this area.
She has to use the refrigerator for herself, and she is still pregnant, so how can she have the time to make this money?
But looking at the expectant look in Erwa's eyes, she didn't say any words of rejection.
How about giving the children a chance to exercise?
It also happened to make them realize that making money is not easy.
"It's not that you can't sell it, but you have to do everything yourself."
Erwa's eyes immediately lit up. "Mom is so kind."
Zhao Qinglan said that letting Erwa do it by himself really means letting him do it by himself from beginning to end.
Da Wa and Xiao Duo also joined Er Wa's team.
Under the guidance of Zhao Qinglan, several children made their own popsicles and then froze them.
Even the clean wooden sticks in the popsicles are cut by them themselves.
When Li Huai learned about the children's feats, he did not object and was even somewhat interested.
After Wu Mei learned about their children's behavior, she also truly admired Zhao Qinglan.
"You really dare to let Da Wa and the others do it by themselves."
"There's nothing to be afraid of. If they want to do it, they can do it themselves. If they can do it, it's a kind of training for them. If they can't do it, they won't regret it and blame me for blocking it."
Wu Mei smiled helplessly after hearing this very personal answer.
She thought she was quite open-minded towards the children, but when compared with Zhao Qinglan, she was still far behind.
Not to mention, Zhao Qinglan does not ignore the children's ideas just because they are young, but also respects their opinions. This is something that many children envy.
At least the three children of Wu Mei's family admire Zhao Qinglan.
Sun Jiajia, the daughter of Wu Mei's family, also asked if she could watch and learn how to make popsicles.
She didn't want to join the popsicle sales team, she was just curious.
Zhao Qinglan would not refuse this small request and would only let her come to her home to watch Da Wa and the others making popsicles.
While other children are still immersed in fighting games and catching bad guys, the three siblings, Dawa, are fighting for the first pot of gold in their lives.
