Regarding the family outing, Zhao Qinglan planned to wait until her second sister wanted to see it before going.
But when she announced this at home, the children still cheered.
Growing up, the only time they traveled far was to the capital.
The three children were not yet born at that time. Although we won’t go so far away this time, it is still a novel experience for the children, so how can we not look forward to it.
When her mother called again, Zhao Qinglan quickly told her about the meeting.
Mrs. Sun was naturally happy and promised that it would be ready that day and waiting for them to come.
That's right, the place where we look at each other is their snack bar.
There are so many people coming and going in the snack bar, and a stranger's face won't attract anyone's attention at all.
They just need to let Zhao Qingzhu meet and chat with the young people for a while when there are no guests.
On the phone, Ms. Sun also told her eldest daughter that they had been worrying about the house. Now there are two stores that they think are good, and she would like to go and have a look when she comes.
Zhao Qinglan was naturally concerned about this matter, and she was happy to have the good news.
Her goal is not only to buy at least one house for herself, but also to buy one for each of her children in the future.
Let's not talk about letting the children be prosperous and wealthy in the future. At least they will have a house each, so they won't panic.
After Zhao Qinglan negotiated this, Li Huai and Zhou Jin became very angry.
The day before the meeting, Zhao Qinglan had prepared everything that needed to be prepared.
Although Zhou Jinsheng had seen them when she came home with her husband to have dinner and drinks, on this day, she still wanted her family to appear in their best appearance in front of others, and to add some points to her sister.
It was still a car, driven by Li Huai, with Zhou Jinsheng sitting in the passenger seat, and Zhao Qinglan squeezing in behind holding Sanwa and three children.
Fortunately, Da Wa and the others are all children, so they don't take up much space.
On the way, Li Huai occasionally chatted with Zhou Jinsheng. He didn't talk much at first, but thinking that Zhou Jinsheng might become his brother-in-law, he tried to be as warm to him as possible.
He has no relatives on his mother's side, and he doesn't have any contact with any relatives on his father's side because of his relationship with his father.
Speaking of which, Zhao Qinglan's natal family are the relatives he has the most contact with now.
Zhou Jinsheng was obviously a little nervous, and Zhao Qinglan, who was sitting behind him, felt inexplicably want to laugh when he saw him like this.
They set out from home just after eating, and they had calculated the time. By the time they arrived at the snack bar, the rush for lunch had just faded.
As soon as they came in, Mrs. Sun greeted them warmly.
"Here you go, Xiao Zhou, come and sit down."
"Hello, aunt." Zhou Jinsheng called out a little cautiously.
Over there, Zhao Qingju also pushed her sister out.
Seeing her sister's dress, Zhao Qinglan nodded with satisfaction.
There were still two customers in the store at this time, but they were both sitting in the corner.
Zhao Qinglan and the others sat in the middle, while Zhao Qingzhu and Zhou Jinsheng went to the other corner and sat facing each other.
"Um, have you eaten?" Zhao Qingzhu asked.
"Eat, eat." Zhou Jinsheng nodded quickly.
"That's good." After saying that, she lowered her head out of shyness.
Zhou Jinsheng was still satisfied with Zhao Qingzhu's appearance, otherwise he wouldn't have planned to meet and see each other after seeing the photo.
Seeing that the girl was silent, Zhou Jinsheng felt that as a man, he had to take the initiative, so he mustered up the courage to speak.
"My name is Zhou Jinsheng. My parents are no longer here. I grew up in my uncle's house. I am now the deputy company commander and my monthly allowance is about forty yuan."
After speaking, he glanced at Zhao Qingzhu. "Well, what's your impression of me?"
Zhao Qingzhu has a good impression of soldiers. Because of her sister and brother-in-law, she also wants to find a soldier as her husband.
Although Zhou Jinsheng is not as good-looking as Li Huai, he can still be regarded as Zhou Zheng. Coupled with the temperament of a long-term soldier, Zhao Qingzhu is still satisfied with him overall.
Just being asked so directly, she still felt embarrassed and whispered: "It's okay."
It's okay. Does that mean it's good or bad? Zhou Jinsheng became more and more nervous.
After hearing a few words, Zhao Qinglan felt that if things continued like this, these two young people would have to chat to death, so she came over and interrupted.
"Qingzhu, Comrade Xiao Zhou, why don't you two go watch a movie together." With so many of them watching here, it's strange that the young two can communicate well.
Another reason why she suggested meeting in the city was that she thought young couples in the city could find a place to meet and have private contact.
How dare you put it in the group?
"That's right, you young people, let's go out for a walk together." Mrs. Sun also agreed.
Just like that, the two of them were driven out of the house.
As soon as they left, Zhao Qinglan couldn't stop laughing.
"So funny?" Li Huai asked.
"I just think they are so funny when they are more coquettish than the other."
Hearing this, Li Huai couldn't help but think of the meeting between the two of them.
If his wife hadn't been so generous and proactive at that time and made that suggestion, the two of them probably wouldn't have been able to make it happen. After all, he didn't have a strong desire to remarry.
Now he is very grateful for his wife's persistence.
"How about we go watch a movie too?"
"Okay, let Qingzhu and Xiao Zhou see us, they will feel uncomfortable again."
"Qinglan, let's go see those two facades?" Sun suddenly mentioned another serious matter.
Yes, I almost forgot about this.
Leaving the children in the store and letting her husband and little sister watch over them, the mother and daughter went out to look at the front room.
As soon as they left, the landlord came.
Another reason why Sun and the others were able to successfully rent this storefront was because of Li Huai, who was driving a military vehicle.
Therefore, as soon as the landlord, who was still thinking about threatening to raise the rent, came in and saw Li Huai sitting there, the energy he had accumulated in his heart almost dissipated.
"Hey, Comrade of the People's Liberation Army, you are here." The landlord immediately put on a smile.
Seeing the landlord, Zhao Qingju rolled her eyes angrily.
Zhao Qinglan never hid anything from her husband, so Li Huai also knew about the landlord's excessive behavior.
When asked, he just nodded expressionlessly.
"Hey, this is your child, right? He looks so good." Seeing that Li Huai didn't smile, the landlord praised Sanwa again.
"Auntie, who is that person?" Seeing Zhao Qingju rolling her eyes, the eldest child asked in a low voice.
"He is a landlord, not a good person."
Adults can put on a good show, but children are not so good at self-restraint.
The landlord wanted to tease the third baby, but the second baby rushed over first.
"You stay away from my brother." This is a bad guy, how can he be allowed to touch his brother.
Erwa's sudden behavior made the landlord immediately embarrassed.
Zhao Qingju hurriedly came over to smooth things over. After all, they had to continue doing business here before the new storefront was purchased, so it was not appropriate to break up with the landlord.
After being in business for so long, she also understands the routines of these human relationships.
"I'm sorry, my sister and my mother have gone out for business, and I can't decide what happens in the store. Why don't you wait until they come back?"
A quick glance showed that Mrs. Sun and Zhao Qingzhu were indeed not there. The landlord also knew that Zhao Qingju was the little girl of the family and could not make the decision.
I can only leave in anger.
As soon as he went out, Erwa stood at the door and snorted coldly.
"What are you doing? Come back." Li Huai called.
Only then did Erwa stick out her tongue and come back.
However, Zhao Qingju praised her nephew.
"Our second baby is really good. Tell aunt what delicious food you want to eat." Everyone in the family now knows that our second baby is delicious.
The second baby suddenly became happy.
As soon as the landlord came home, he was questioned by his wife. When she learned that the rent increase had not been resolved, she immediately scolded her husband several times.
"If they don't quickly increase the money for that store, we won't be able to rent it to them when it expires. Let's start our own business!"
Seeing that those who do business now can earn a lot, their thoughts have also changed.
Here, Zhao Qinglan also saw the facade that her mother said was pretty good.
