Living in my own courtyard is indeed much more comfortable than living in a building in a family area.
Zhao Qinglan originally planned to stay for a few days and then go back with her children, but now she was too lazy to move.
If she doesn't mention going back, the children won't even mention it.
Mrs. Sun also wished that her daughter and grandsons could always be with her, and did not urge them to go back.
When Li Huai came back, he heard laughter in the yard before he even entered the house, and felt a little sour in his heart.
He was all alone there, but his wife and children were living so happily here. Just thinking about it made him feel miserable.
Li Huai was standing in front of his house feeling sad when the big boy whom Zhao Qinglan sent out to buy something bumped into him.
"Dad, why are you standing here?" Da Wa was very surprised, holding the soy sauce bottle in his hand.
Li Huai was not in a good mood anymore. "Why, I can't stand in front of my own house anymore. If you don't know how to speak, don't speak."
The eldest child rubbed his head and was speechless. Why was he so angry? "Mom is waiting for soy sauce for cooking. I'll buy it first." After that, he took the bottle and ran away.
In the courtyard, Mrs. Sun heard voices at the door and walked over. When she saw Li Huai walking in, she was a little surprised.
"Qinglan, my son-in-law is here."
"What, who's son-in-law?" Zhao Qinglan poked her head out of the kitchen with a puzzled look on her face, and ended up eye-to-eye with her somewhat resentful husband.
"Ah, why are you here?" She ran out of the house.
"If I don't come again, I'm afraid you will forget about me." He said sourly.
Zhao Qinglan chuckled, "Your blaming tone makes me feel guilty."
"I am the resentful husband." Li Huai said dullly.
Mrs. Sun didn't want to disturb the relationship between her daughter and son-in-law, so she hurried into the house and asked her children not to go out for the time being.
"Okay, okay, it's my fault. I shouldn't have stayed away for so long. I'll make delicious food for you." Zhao Qinglan said with a smile.
"I need compensation." Li Huai said suddenly.
"What kind of compensation?" Zhao Qinglan was confused.
"You'll find out tonight." He whispered.
Zhao Qinglan glanced at him before walking into the kitchen, and Li Huai followed.
Li Huai can rest for two days this time and plans to stay here for two days before going back.
The children were very happy when he came. Although his father was usually serious, he was not very kind to the children.
When he came, the eldest child and the second child were also taken to exercise again. The two children were miserable. They were very lucky that he only stayed here for two days.
That night, Li Huai asked Zhao Qinglan, his wife, for some compensation.
The next morning, Zhao Qinglan almost didn't get out of bed. She held her waist and lamented that she was getting old. This man looked like a beast and was no longer human.
She missed breakfast in the morning, and when she went out again, she felt that the eyes her mother and sister were looking at her meant something different, so she secretly pinched her husband's waist countless times.
Thanks to his strong endurance, Li Huai did not make a fool of himself in front of everyone.
Cheng Tao ran over to play with the eldest child and have some food, and finally met his good friend's military father.
To be honest, Cheng Tao admired soldiers very much, so he respected Li Huai very much when he saw him, and he also wanted to ask questions.
Li Huai naturally heard his wife mention Cheng Tao, and his attitude towards him was considered kind.
Ever since, when the eldest child and the second child were called to the courtyard for exercise, Cheng Tao was also treated with kindness and care.
It was okay for the eldest child and the second child. They had been drilled by their own father in the past, but this was the first time Cheng Tao had ever done anything. Even though Li Huai had already let him go, by the time the training was over, Cheng Tao began to doubt his life.
Seeing that he looked hopeless while eating, the eldest child and the second child felt a little gloating about his misfortune.
After finishing the meal, Cheng Tao excused himself that he had something to do when he got home and ran away immediately.
In fact, the eldest son had not had time to tell his friends that his father would leave soon.
This time, Cheng Tao was so frightened that he didn't come to their house for three whole days.
This also led to the fact that when Cheng Tao met his uncle Li Huai later, he always had a shadow of fear in his heart.
As soon as Li Huai took his leave and left, Zhao Qinglan also received a letter from Wei Hong.
Wei Hong hasn't contacted her recently, and her life is actually not going well.
The person she had always been with broke up due to various reasons when she graduated. Wei Hong was still very sad about this.
But she also had good news. With a little help from her roommate Jin Hui, Wei Hong was assigned to the capital.
Zhao Qinglan was just thinking that she hadn't seen Wei Hong for a long time and didn't know when she could go to the capital to meet him, when the opportunity came.
The eldest brother, Nan Zhang Yu, finally showed his cards under the pressure of his family to get married. Although his partner seemed to have some bad conditions from the Zhang family, their son finally found a partner, so they were no longer picky and quickly urged the two to get married.
No, Li Huai and Zhao Qinglan received invitations to a wedding banquet.
Li Huai, who had been good friends for many years, was going to get married, so he tried his best to go. Zhao Qinglan and Zhang Yu were now considered friends, so they would naturally go.
Both of them are going to the capital, and how can they bring along a few children?
As soon as their family was about to leave, Mrs. Sun and her daughter Qingju couldn't sit still and followed them.
Sun wanted to stop by the capital to see his brother, while Zhao Qingju wanted to meet her partner.
Even if you're in a long-distance relationship, it's not good to not see each other all the time. It's easy to cause problems after a long time.
By the time they set off for the capital, their team was really huge.
With Li Huai's intervention, they successfully bought sleeper berth tickets. Fortunately, it was not the Chinese New Year, so train tickets were not so tight, so they were able to buy sleeper berth tickets.
The family got on the train and left, and Zhu Kexin found the military district in the provincial capital.
How could the provincial military district let people in so easily? Zhu Kexin said that she was an acquaintance of Li Huai and had come to see Li Huai.
After recuperating her energy these days, she had figured out where Li Huai was stationed.
Unfortunately, after the sentry contacted him, he only gave Zhu Kexin a reply that Captain Li was not at the station.
Zhu Kexin came with great interest, but came back disappointed.
When we took the train in the past, some of the children were still young, and Zhao Qinglan and others would not buy sleeper tickets per head.
But now that the children have grown up, the sleeper berths on the train are not big. Except for the third child, only one person bought a sleeper berth ticket.
Their berths are next to each other, and each of the three lower berths has his or her own. It is convenient to walk around and do anything in the carriage.
It is rare in this day and age for such a big family to travel together on a not-so-cheap sleeper train.
The family went out together, and the time on the road was not so boring. Soon the train arrived in Beijing.
This time, Zhang Yu, a busy groom, had no time to come to the station to pick them up. Sun Guangming was the one to pick them up.
Fortunately, Sun Guangming now has a high position and has a car of his own. He even borrowed a car to bring this large group of people to Zhao Qinglan's home in the capital.
Mr. Dou knew that they were coming, so he had cleaned all the houses so that they could move in as soon as they arrived.
In fact, Sun Guangming now has a house allocated by his work unit, but he still likes to live in his niece's courtyard, where the whole family is lively together.
They arrived in the capital the day before Zhang Yu's wedding, so they didn't have time to hang out. As soon as they got home, they washed up and rested, so that they could be energetic enough to attend the wedding tomorrow.
But Mrs. Sun and her little girl don't have to worry about this. Mrs. Sun and her brother haven't seen each other for several months, and they have a lot to say.
As for Zhao Qingju, after taking a shower and changing into clean clothes at her sister's house, she went out to go on a date with her partner.
