Zhao Qinglan moved between the counters and fought hard.
When she and Wu Mei finally met, they both had a lot of things in their hands, but Zhao Qinglan bought much more than Wu Mei.
Although Sun Shengli, the commander of the regiment, had a higher rank, had been in the army for longer, and earned more than Li Huai, he was not as generous as Li Huai.
There are elders in Li Huai's family, but let's not talk about the bad relationship between him and his biological father and stepmother. Considering the treatment and conditions of his father Li Zhenhua, there is no need for his son to pay for help.
Li Huai's allowance is only needed to support his family.
Seeing Zhao Qinglan buy so much, Wu Mei was a little surprised.
"Qing Lan, even though your family Li Huai has been given a subsidy, he still has to spend some time. You spent all your money this time, how will you survive the rest of the day?" she said kindly.
Zhao Qinglan smiled. "Sister-in-law, don't worry, I bought more this time. The main reason is that I lack a lot of things at home. I have bought them all this time, and I will buy less in the future."
"As long as you have the records." Wu Mei felt relieved now.
"Sister-in-law, I'll leave the things here for you first. You can help me take a look at them. I'll go find Dawa and the others."
"Okay, go quickly." Wu Mei waved.
The supply and marketing cooperative has three floors, so Zhao Qinglan quickly found it.
One layer, no.
Another layer, not yet.
After looking around all three floors, Zhao Qinglan couldn't see a single child. Zhao Qinglan was so panicked that her hands began to shake.
Nothing can happen, and nothing can happen to the children. The loss of Xiaoduo will cast a shadow over her life. If these three children disappear together again, she may not be able to survive.
Xiao ran to the door of the supply and marketing cooperative and saw three little guys standing next to Wu Mei. Zhao Qinglan almost shed tears.
After grabbing her daughter, she couldn't help but slap her on the back several times.
"You're running around, do you know you're scaring mom to death?"
Xiaoduo was hurt by her mother's beating. She was scared and aggrieved. She bit her lip and started sobbing.
"Mom, I, I was wrong, I won't dare to do it again."
When the eldest child saw Xiaoduo crying after being beaten, he immediately rushed over and stood in front of her.
"If you want to hit me, hit me. Don't hit my sister."
Zhao Qinglan was startled for a moment, but without mercy, she slapped the big baby on the back several times.
"As an older brother, you should take good care of your younger siblings. Did I ever tell you not to run around?"
The eldest child was beaten, but he didn't cry. He just muttered: "I told you."
"Do you know you're wrong?"
"knew."
Although Erwa had seen Zhao Qinglan's majesty and power, it was only for outsiders after all. Zhao Qinglan had always been very gentle towards them.
Leng Buding saw her start to train others and then attack others, Erwa was so frightened that she shrank behind Wu Mei.
"Qinglan, Qinglan, why are you beating them?"
Wu Mei quickly grabbed her.
Zhao Qinglan stopped and looked at Wu Mei before shedding tears.
"Sister-in-law, you don't know. I just searched everywhere and couldn't find them. I thought they were lost. Tell me, if I go out and lose all three children, how can I survive?
.”
She was really worried and anxious.
Seeing her like this, Wu Mei understood why she had such a big reaction. She sighed and comforted: "It's okay, it's okay. They are all fine."
It was clear that Zhao Qinglan, the stepmother, had beaten her, but seeing her cry because she was worried about them, the eldest child's heart was touched.
I saw him raising his hand to pull Zhao Qinglan, and whispered: "Mom, I know I was wrong, please stop crying."
Zhao Qinglan and Wu Mei were all stunned.
This is the first time the eldest baby has called Zhao Qinglan "Mom".
It was also the beginning of Li Yansen's life, officially accepting Zhao Qinglan as his stepmother.
Wu Mei knew very well how much the eldest son had resisted his stepmother and how much he resisted Li Huai's remarriage.
This is also the reason why she has always been worried that brothers Zhao Qinglan and Dawa are not getting along well.
Although it seems that Zhao Qinglan and Da Wa Er Wa are getting along well these days, they are only getting along well. Wu Mei feels that Da Wa is still somewhat resistant in her heart.
But now, when she heard Da Wa call Zhao Qinglan "Mom", Wu Mei understood that Da Wa really accepted Zhao Qinglan.
Zhao Qinglan also understands that Dawa has a very stubborn temperament and it is difficult to change what he has decided.
If he is willing to call her mom, and does so voluntarily without any coercion, it means that he really recognizes her.
For a time, her sadness dissipated and turned into excitement and happiness.
It was a blessing in disguise, but I didn't expect that a bad thing could turn into a good thing.
Taking the things they bought, they arrived at the gathering place.
Seeing Zhao Qinglan buying so much, some of the military wives present were filled with emotion, some were envious, and some were complaining that she would not be able to live a good life by spending money indiscriminately.
Zhao Qinglan doesn't care what others think, she just wants to live her own comfortable life.
It seems that there are still a few military wives who are not here yet, and there is a place nearby where you can buy meat.
Zhao Qinglan asked Wu Mei to look after the children and things, and she ran over.
When she came back, she had two big pig trotters and a piece of pig head meat.
The supply of meat in the non-staple food stores in the army is usually not sufficient, let alone pork trotters and pig heads.
Seeing her buying these, the three children were naturally happy. The second child even forgot that he was frightened by Master Zhao Qinglan, and started to salivate when he looked at the still-raw pig's trotters.
At the supply and marketing cooperative before, Zhao Qinglan actually bought a lot of seasonings that she didn't have at home before. Although it was still not complete, she could go back and make braised pig trotters and then serve the fragrant pork head cold.
Zhao Qinglan is also a human being, and she is also greedy. If conditions can improve, she still wants to improve as much as possible.
In the past, she loved to eat cold pork heads. Although it was a bit inappropriate to eat cold dishes in the cold weather, she couldn't help it when she saw the pork heads when buying pig trotters.
Is it just the missing seasonings? She wondered. There are too few people using these seasonings now. When she gets the chance next time, she will go to other places. Many of the seasonings are Chinese medicinal materials. The supply and marketing cooperative's non-staple food store
No, it may not be available elsewhere.
However, she doesn't know where to go to buy Chinese medicine now. She will ask someone when she gets back.
When they got in the car, there were no more students in the car, so there was a lot more space. Otherwise, they would really have to worry about buying a lot of things by themselves.
On the way here, the three children were very excited. When they returned, they all fell asleep one after another as soon as they got in the car.
The eldest child did not sleep well because he thought he could not go into the city, while the second child and Xiaoduo were excited and the younger ones were exhausted.
Zhao Qinglan held Xiaoduo, Wu Mei held the second baby, and the eldest baby leaned against it. Everyone began to rest and take a nap.
They were woken up by the military wife who was in the same car.
After returning home with her things, Zhao Qinglan had just sat down when she heard Wu Mei calling her through the wall.
"Qinglan, Qinglan, hurry up, your phone number!"
Why did he hear his sister-in-law's tone of voice being so urgent? Zhao Qinglan said "here we come" and ran out immediately.
When she got the phone, she just said, "It's me."
Sui Wenjing said anxiously on the other side of the phone: "Qinglan, it's bad, something happened to your family!"
