Zhu Kexin didn't get any useful information from Sun Shengli, so she was naturally dissatisfied.
She then tried her best to find more people in the family area to inquire.
Zhao Qinglan started a joint military-civilian partnership to hire military wives, and gave the regiment a lot of money every year to do a lot of practical things. She was very popular in the family area.
Now even though their family has moved away, everyone still feels sorry for them when they are mentioned, but they are still a little reluctant to leave because they are gone.
When Zhu Kexin inquired about Zhao Qinglan's family, she didn't get any good looks.
Anyone who can serve as a military subordinate should still be vigilant.
She suddenly inquired about Zhao Qinglan's family as soon as she came up. Those who didn't know who she was were suspicious of her purpose. Those who knew who she was were very contemptuous of her and didn't want to tell her even if they knew.
People who have lived in the family area for a long time still have an impression of Zhu Kexin, because Zhao Qinglan, there are always people who think of her and compare the two people.
Zhu Kexin didn't get any useful information. Instead, she was ridiculed and ridiculed several times. She was in a terrible mood.
Just as she was leaving the family area again in a depressed mood, a military wife chased her out.
"Best wishes, comrade."
"What's the matter?" Zhu Kexin asked impatiently, because she had not had a good time in the family area these days, so her attitude towards the people in the family area was not good either.
"Aren't you asking about the Li Huai family?"
"Yeah, what's wrong?" He's not here to mock herself again, then she can't bear it anymore.
"I know a little, but let me tell you, what good can I do?" The military wife looked at her greedily.
Although most people in the family area have a good impression of Zhao Qinglan, there are still some who are jealous and bitter, especially those who have no ability but still want to join the civilian life. Zhao Qinglan did not let him get what he wanted, so he was naturally dissatisfied with Zhao Qinglan.
It turned out that he was here to ask for benefits. Zhu Kexin was a little disdainful, but this was good, at least it proved that this person really knew something.
Although her life was very bad, the conditions of Zhu's family were not bad now, but she had been estranged from her father because of Xue Jingxue.
Now that she has returned to Zhu's house, she is not short of money.
Thinking about it, she took out twenty yuan from her bag. "That's all. If you want to say it, just say it. If you don't want to, then I'll leave."
Although she is not short of money now, she is not taken advantage of. The years of living with Xue Jingxue taught her a lot after all.
Twenty dollars, don't give it up. "Okay, just twenty dollars." After saying that, the military wife anxiously took the money from Zhu Kexin's hand.
"Let's talk about the money." Zhu Kexin looked at her.
"Li Huai has been transferred to the province."
"I know that." Zhu Kexin interrupted impatiently.
The military wife was a little embarrassed, but she continued: "Zhao Qinglan, whom Li Huai later married, has a shop called Military and Civilian Union in the city. Although Li Huai has been transferred, the shop is still there. You can definitely find out about it when you go there.
Zhao Qinglan, and I heard that Zhao Qinglan also bought a house in the city."
"That's all?"
"That's all I know. You don't give much, so what else do you want?" The military wife was still dissatisfied.
Zhu Kexin gave her a disgusted look before taking her bag and leaving.
But there was some turmoil in her heart.
Zhao Qinglan, Zhao Qinglan, she had heard this name several times in the past few days.
Although the people she had asked before were unwilling to reveal the news about Li Huai and his children to her, they often mentioned Zhao Qinglan. They talked about how good this Zhao Qinglan was. How could she feel comfortable after hearing this.
Is there a store in the city? She must go and check it out.
The Military-Civilian Partnership is quite famous in Zhao Qinglan's area, and most locals in the city know about it.
After Zhu Kexin arrived in the city, she just made some inquiries and found the military-civilian cooperation.
Standing outside the store, looking at the huge store and the customers coming in and out from time to time, Zhu Kexin looked calm.
Naturally, she didn't have any good impressions of Zhao Qinglan. Whether it was because of their identities or because others praised Zhao Qinglan compared with her. In short, she was very unhappy with this woman even before they met.
But she is not stupid. Her main purpose is to meet her two sons, not to cause trouble for that woman.
Thinking of her stepping into the military-civilian union.
"Hello, comrade, what do you want to eat?"
As soon as she entered, a waiter in neat work clothes greeted her.
"All of you who are good at it, come up to me."
"Comrade, can you eat alone?" the waiter asked with concern.
"Whether I can eat it or not is my business." Zhu Kexin said angrily.
"Okay, just sit down and wait."
If the guests insist on spending money, they will naturally not be able to stop them.
Sitting there, Zhu Kexin looked around at the various places inside the Military and Civilian Union.
Hearing that this woman, Zhao Qinglan, had opened a store had a different feeling than seeing it with her own eyes. To be honest, she felt a little sad inside.
In her opinion, this store is so big, Li Huai must have helped a lot. Why was the man not so generous when they lived together? Her life was not so good back then.
The military-civilian joint does not cook complicated dishes, and the main items can be prepared quickly, such as braised pork and cold dishes, which are ready-made.
Zhu Kexin had only been sitting for a few minutes, and everything was already in front of her.
"Comrade, you have all your things, please use them with caution."
Looking at the food on the table, Zhu Kexin raised her eyebrows.
The cold vegetables, braised pork, and noodles were okay, but the spicy hotpot and pancakes and fruits were something she had never seen before.
But these things still smell delicious, especially Malatang.
She had been in the family area for a long time, and now she was a little hungry alone. Smelling the aroma, she picked up her chopsticks and started tasting.
Her food intake was the same as that of an ordinary person, but before she knew it, she had finished all the Malatang, half of the pancakes and fruits, and only half of the cold vegetables and braised pork. That is, the noodles had the most left, so she only ate
A few mouthfuls.
The portions of these items were not small, and she was full in no time.
She had just finished eating when the waiter came over with another bowl.
"Hello, this is the sour plum soup as a gift in our store."
She was already very full, but when she smelled the sweet and sour taste of the sour plum soup, she couldn't help but pick it up and take a few sips.
Don't tell me, it tastes really good.
This was also Zhao Qinglan's idea. As the weather gets hotter, it will have some impact on the dining experience of the guests.
We don't yet have the conditions to install air conditioning in the store, so there is just a fan spinning in the corner. The hall is so big, it doesn't have much effect at all.
This sour and sweet sour plum soup is what she uses to relieve the heat of the guests, and it can also whet their appetites.
Needless to say, this sour plum soup was well received by the military and civilians as soon as it became popular.
Some people even want to spend money to buy some to take home after drinking the free bowl.
Although Zhu Kexin doesn't like Zhao Qinglan very much, she now has to admit that the food served by both military and civilian food is quite delicious and delicious.
It's just that she didn't come here just for food and drink this time, she had other business to attend to.
Thinking about it, she walked to the counter and took out the money to pay.
While the cashier was giving her change, she asked.
"Where is your boss? Isn't he in the store?"
In the past, Wu Mei was mainly responsible for cashiering in the store. Later, Zhao Qinglan saw that Wu Mei was doing everything well, so before she moved this time, she made Wu Mei directly become the store manager. When she was away, there were people in the store making decisions and worrying about things.
Now Wu Mei went to the back to eat, and no one was in the front.
"Are you looking for our boss? The boss doesn't come to the store very often recently." The military wife at the cash register came to the family home after Zhu Kexin left, and she didn't recognize her either.
In fact, there was still a military wife who was a waiter in the store who had seen Zhu Kexin, but several years had passed and everyone was busy, so no one recognized her.
"That's really unfortunate. I have something to do with her." Zhu Kexin looked regretful.
