Once upon a time, Zhao Qinglan had a deep hatred for her mother's family.
But later, her mother and sister were brought out by her, and she changed the lives of the mother and daughter, allowing them to live completely different lives from their previous lives.
Only then did she realize that it was actually wrong to blame others blindly. Part of the tragedies in her previous life were actually due to her own weakness and lack of resistance.
After Boss Zhao repented, her hatred towards him disappeared.
Just ask her to be filial to the other person regardless of past grudges, but she can't do it.
If there is nothing wrong with Boss Zhao, she can be treated as a stranger who doesn't know each other.
But after Sui Wenjing learned that the other party was in a miserable situation due to injury, she couldn't ignore it.
She secretly sent the money. Two hundred yuan was not too much, but it was not too little either. She should think of it as repaying the kindness that Boss Zhao had given her to have a child.
After she did this, she didn't tell her mother or sister. She only talked to her husband after lying down at night.
Maybe it's because their two families are not harmonious, and there is still a feeling of sympathy for each other in this regard.
"Qinglan, just tell me. Don't keep everything in your heart, or you might get sick."
When her husband teased her, Zhao Qinglan's slight sadness disappeared.
It is another festive and lively New Year. During the day of the New Year's Eve, Li Huai was on duty, and Zhao Qinglan took several children to make dumplings at home.
Mrs. Sun stayed in the capital for another two months before returning, and spent the Chinese New Year at her daughter Qingzhu's house.
The two families had not been together during the Chinese New Year before, but this year they were used to it, and they would see each other again in two days anyway.
Li Huai's absence does not affect Zhao Qinglan's speed in making dumplings. The main reason is that the children at home are increasingly able to help.
The TV at home is always on. Although there is no Spring Festival Gala in the evening, there are still TV series to watch.
There is more TV in the room and the sound is more lively.
After the dumplings were cooked and finished, the family sat there, cracking melon seeds and watching TV together.
Li Huai came back before the New Year's Eve dinner.
There is also a New Year's Eve dinner in the army, and some leaders eat it in the canteen with the cadres and soldiers.
Li Huai moved his chopsticks casually and left.
As soon as he entered, a wave of heat greeted him.
"Mom, dad is back." Xiaoduo shouted towards the kitchen.
Li Huai dusted off the snowflakes on his body, took off his military coat and hat and hung them behind the door.
Zhao Qinglan came over with a steaming casserole, placed it on the table, and announced that dinner was ready.
Their New Year's Eve dinner was still sumptuous. Li Huai poured some hot water into the basin and washed his hands before sitting down.
"It's raining so hard outside, I didn't even notice it," Zhao Qinglan lamented.
"No, there's already a layer on the ground." Li Huai continued.
As soon as they started eating, the Spring Festival Gala started, and everyone's attention was immediately attracted to the TV.
Eating hot meals and watching the Spring Festival Gala together were festive and warm.
After watching the Spring Festival Gala, Li Huai took his son to the courtyard to set off fireworks.
But they also had a lot of people setting off cannons and fireworks at this moment.
After the fireworks were set off, several children still had a snowball fight in the yard.
The third baby didn't want to join the battle at first, but his second brother was too inhumane and kept hitting him. Now the third baby couldn't bear it anymore and quickly joined the battle.
Zhao Qinglan and her husband stood on the steps and watched with great joy, but a snowball was thrown towards them.
Even Li Huai was unprepared and was hit hard.
The two of them originally wanted to watch the fun, but ended up having fun with the children.
Li Huai, his wife and his daughter Xiao Duo were in a group, and Da Wa and the three brothers were in a group. The two sides were fighting together, which was very lively.
The harbor city in the distance.
Wang Dazhi did not expect to ask his son to pick up his parents, and finally picked up his nephews and nieces.
Although he was not very happy, people had come and it was hard to push him back.
When it was time to have New Year's Eve dinner on the 30th night, he was a little relieved to see that the house had not been so lively for many years.
But this didn't last long.
Just because one of them was watching TV, the family got into trouble again.
His parents and nephews want to watch the domestic Spring Festival Gala, and his son wants to watch the program in Hong Kong City.
Finally, there was a lot of noise and he overturned the table in anger.
The New Year's Eve dinner that we finally got together ended up being unhappy.
Wang Dazhi felt that he was in conflict with everything in the past, and he resented Zhao Qinglan again for this reason.
…
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Zhao Qinglan’s family actually had guests come to pay New Year’s greetings this year.
After Sun Wen got married, he and Zhang Wenjing lived in the provincial capital.
It was the Chinese New Year, and Wu Mei decided to spend it in the provincial capital this year, and then return to the family area in the region in a few days.
A few years ago, she heard her husband mention that she would probably make another move after the new year. She just felt that marrying Zhang Wenjing, a daughter-in-law, would make her family prosperous.
Sun Shengli has been in the position of regimental leader for a long time, and it was because of the successive incidents in the regiment that he could not be promoted.
He thought that he would serve as the group leader until he retired, but he gave up hope and talked to him again.
Sun Shengli and Wu Mei led their family to Zhao Qinglan and his family.
Later, Qin Zhaocai brought his children over to pay New Year greetings.
This means that Zhao Qinglan and the others do not live in the family area, otherwise there would be an endless stream of people coming to visit them to pay New Year greetings.
Qin Zhaocai sat for a while and then left, but Wu Mei's family was forced to stay for dinner by Zhao Qinglan.
Sun Shengli and Li Huai have also not seen each other for a long time, so they both had to drink some.
Wu Mei and Zhao Qinglan chatted about the children.
Their Sun Wu and Sun Jiajia will graduate from college in a few months after the Chinese New Year.
Fortunately, Sun Jiajia's daughter must have stayed here in the provincial capital to work as a teacher. Her son, Sun Wu, went to a military industrial university and didn't know where he was going after graduation.
Fortunately for Zhao Qinglan, their children don't have to worry about such things for the time being.
The eldest child has gone to the provincial capital to study in high school, and has been going very smoothly since enrolling. He also ranked among the top of his grade in the mid-term and final exams, which is very good.
The one who worries her a little bit this year is her daughter Xiaoduo. After the eldest child has finished the high school entrance examination, it is Xiaoduo's turn to take the high school entrance examination. The three eldest children in their family are only one grade behind each other and they take the exam one after another.
Fortunately, Xiaoduo has always been well-behaved and her grades have been maintained very well. She just pays more attention to her child's nutrition.
When it comes to children, both mothers have endless things to say.
A few children get together and it becomes lively.
Sun Wu gave the eldest child and the second child a small model each, including a small tank and a small military card. The boys couldn't put it down.
Sun Wen had just gotten married, so he and his wife were watching their younger brothers and sisters play.
After finishing looking at the models, Da Wa and the others started playing poker.
Both adults and children in the house are busy with their own things. This is probably a true reflection of visiting relatives and visiting each house during the New Year.
