Chapter 288 The Significance of Making Money and Struggle
After returning home from get off work, after the family had finished eating and the children had gone to watch TV, Li Huai winked at his wife.
When the two entered the house, Zhao Qinglan became curious. "What's going on? It's so mysterious."
"I've met Zhu Kexin."
"Oh?" Zhao Qinglan raised her eyebrows, showing some curiosity.
Li Huai had called her in, so naturally he wouldn't hide anything from her. Except for some words he didn't repeat exactly, he also told her the general situation.
Zhao Qinglan couldn't help but laugh when he heard that Zhu Kexin ran away again.
At this point, the couple really looks like a couple.
"Did I perform well?" Li Huai quipped.
"It's not bad." Zhao Qinglan stopped smiling.
"That's it?" Li Huai raised his eyebrows.
"Otherwise?" Zhao Qinglan glanced at her husband. "Your ex-wife is not yours to deal with."
Being blocked, Li Huai stopped talking.
But when it was time to go to bed, Zhao Qinglan still gave him some unexpected surprises because he was in a good mood.
When I returned to the family area, they didn't have their own small yard.
The eldest brother and his brothers usually watch TV and listen to the radio at home, but also go out for a walk.
The eldest child, now in his teens, took his younger siblings out. Zhao Qinglan only told them not to run around and pay attention to safety, but also did not restrict the children's movements.
Naturally, some of the children in the family area are curious about the eldest child.
Although the eldest child doesn't talk much, he has a surprisingly good personality. After staying in the new family area for a few days, he became familiar with some of his peers.
As for Xiaoduo, because she met several girls in her class at school, she can be considered a friend in the family area.
Thanks to Zhao Qinglan's education, the eldest children did not realize it, but in fact they had a much broader vision than other children of the same age.
This invisibly played a big role in their interpersonal communication.
Zhao Qinglan is naturally happy that the children can integrate themselves well into the environment of the family area.
Their family has four children, and the eldest is still young. People in the family area don't know that Zhao Qinglan and Li Huai have remarried, and think that she is the mother of all four children. Many of them are envious.
After all, three of these four children are boys. Although great men have said that women hold up half the sky, the phenomenon of favoring boys over girls still exists everywhere.
Especially in the past two years, the family planning policy has become more and more strict, and everyone wants to have a boy even more.
Zhao Qinglan did not expect that she was not paid attention to by military wives for other reasons, but because there were many boys in the family, she was asked if she had any secret recipe for giving birth to a boy.
Don't think that just because you are a military wife, you are open-minded. In fact, many military wives do not have a high level of education.
In addition to asking about the secret recipe for giving birth to a boy, some people also asked her how she managed to stay so young.
Whether it’s a secret recipe or a skincare secret, Zhao Qinglan doesn’t know them all.
However, she didn't say anything, as if she was hiding it, and expressed some opinions on maintenance.
In her previous life, she had experienced the flood of information from later generations, and it would be easy to bluff people just by citing the experiences summarized by some experts or enthusiastic netizens.
This also led to her gaining a lot of popularity in the family area.
In fact, if possible, Zhao Qinglan would rather go back to live in her own small courtyard. However, thinking of her husband's previous resentment, she also knew that it seemed a bit unethical for her to take the children and abandon her husband, so she could only endure this thought.
But not going back to live does not mean that she can make other preparations.
For example, buying a house in a provincial capital.
Her fundamental purpose of making money is to improve her family's living conditions.
Now that we have basically all the big things we need at home, the dividends accumulated from the military-civilian partnership will only depreciate if we keep saving them.
She then thought about using her savings to buy a few more houses.
She wouldn't mind buying a few more houses in the capital, but the right house is not always available. When she attended Zhang Yu's wedding this time, when she left, she asked Mr. Dou Gourmet to help her in various alleys.
Ask around. Ask around.
She doesn't expect to buy any good buildings in the capital now. The buildings here are basically public housing in various units. Not to mention that it is difficult to buy them. From her later perspective, there are few that can satisfy her in terms of layout and size.
She is still eyeing the courtyard houses in various alleys.
There are no intermediaries here. To find a suitable house, Mr. Dou really has to go among the masses and inquire.
However, Zhao Qinglan is not in a hurry about this matter. She treats it as a long-term matter. As long as there is a suitable one, she will choose to start it.
Here in the provincial capital, buying a house now is a necessity for her.
Now they are no longer the remote place they used to be. There are only a few villages around them.
If you want to buy a house near the military area, you can still find it as long as you search carefully.
Although they joined the army, they lived in their own house outside and no one said anything.
It's just that my husband can't leave the military area when he's on duty.
Even if she buys a house, she doesn't live there every day. She only occasionally goes there with her family to change the environment.
With a house outside, my mother and sister would have a place to stay if they came to the provincial capital.
Once she had figured out what kind of house she could move around, she quickly started looking for houses around the military area.
For this reason, she also consulted with several military wives who had stayed in the family area for a long time.
Of course, she said that the reason for buying a house was not to change the environment occasionally, which would seem too wealthy. She just said that there were many children in the family, especially boys, and she would have to have a house to live in when she got married and so on. She had prepared for a rainy day.
When she moved here, she had so many electrical appliances that the military wives in the family area knew that their home was in good condition. Now that she said she wanted to buy a house for her children, no one thought she was exaggerating.
Li Huai has no opinion at all whether she buys a house or not. Anyway, most of the money in the family is earned by his wife. She can buy whatever she wants and he won't interfere at all.
After inspecting the surrounding properties and comprehensively comparing the size and price of the house, she finally made the move.
It is also a house with a yard. It was once the residence of an old wealthy landowner. It was later used as an office space. Now that the government unit that works there has a new place to move to, the house is now available for sale.
After Zhao Qinglan compared it, this house was still the best. Dealing with the public also saved a lot of trouble with private parties.
After she paid the money and completed the formalities, the house was also in her name.
Although someone had always lived in this house before, now it became his own, and Zhao Qinglan still planned to clean it up.
After all, this house is the largest one she has ever bought.
In addition, their family is now in the provincial capital, and my husband has just been transferred here, so he probably won't move for several years. This is also their base camp, so naturally they have to treat it well.
After getting the house, when Li Huai was resting, she brought her husband and children over to take a look.
The children were so happy when they saw such a big yard. Before the house was renovated and tidied up, they had already started chatting about choosing their own rooms.
Seeing the children's happy faces, Zhao Qinglan was very satisfied.
She worked hard to make money, just for this moment.
Her husband Li Huai, who understood her best, saw her smile and started laughing too.
If his wife and children are happy, he will be happy too.
