Chapter 192 Visiting Relatives
“I have some spare cash on hand,” Li Wanqing said with a smile. “I just want to take a look first.”
She neither denied nor admitted Zhao Shuyu's guess, and for the time being, she did not intend to bring up Cheng Baichuan's matter.
After all, Cheng Baichuan hasn't taken the exam yet, and the result is still unknown.
Zhao Shuyu was not angry when he heard this; in fact, he could understand her actions.
Since they're not acquaintances, it's only natural to be a little cautious.
Zhao Shuyu glanced at Qu Zhe, "You know more about this than I do, so please keep an eye out for it when the time comes."
"Okay!" Qu Zhe nodded, suppressing his doubts.
Unlike Zhao Shuyu, he didn't know Li Wanqing at all, and he always felt that she wasn't just looking at the house.
"Does Comrade Li have any requests?" Qu Zhe asked.
Li Wanqing briefly explained that her requirements were not high; she just wanted enough space for her family to live in and convenient living conditions.
Forget about a courtyard house; even if one existed, she couldn't afford it.
Qu Zhe thought for a moment and said, "Then I'll keep an eye out, but how can I let you know when the time comes?"
Finding a place to live is not an easy task; it can take days or even months.
A few days is one thing, but a few months? Can Li Wanqing wait that long?
Li Wanqing understood this principle, but she had already made up her mind.
“I will stay in Taipei for about half a month. If I don’t find a suitable place to live during this time, I will leave you another phone number.”
Qu Zhe had no objection to the proposal.
After lunch, Li Wanqing and Zhao Shuyu parted ways.
"Mommy, shall we go find Daddy?" Nono looked up at her mother with an innocent expression.
Li Wanqing tapped her nose and said with a smile, "Does Nuonuo miss her dad?"
Nono nodded without hesitation, "Yes."
All told, she hadn't seen her father for almost three months.
She really liked the birthday present her dad asked Uncle Shao to bring, but she hasn't thanked him yet.
Li Wanqing pinched her nose. "Not today!"
Nono lowered her head in disappointment, but Li Wanqing smiled and said, "But it should be possible the day after tomorrow."
Nono immediately looked up, her eyes sparkling with anticipation, "You promised, Mommy, you can't lie!"
Li Wanqing playfully pinched her nose and said with a smile, "I'm not lying."
Unable to visit Cheng Baichuan, Li Wanqing didn't stay idle either, taking Nuonuo to almost every major market in Taipei.
To establish a foothold in Taipei, simply owning a house is not enough; the business must be expanded.
Compared to Sichuan Province, Taipei City has greater development opportunities, but it needs to adjust its development direction.
After two days of exploring, Li Wanqing had a general understanding of the markets in Taipei, which ironically made her unsure of where to begin.
She has no connections in Taipei, so getting her business up and running won't be easy.
Given her status as a military dependent, some things require careful consideration.
When the day came to go find Cheng Baichuan, Nuonuo got up very early in the morning.
The air in Taipei in August was already a bit chilly, so Li Wanqing dressed her daughter in a vest before she went out.
"Mom, are we going to surprise Dad?" Nono kept chattering all the way.
As Li Wanqing responded, she couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
I haven't seen that man for several months, I wonder if he's gotten even darker?
Cheng Baichuan and his team did not train or take exams in the urban area of Taipei, but at a base 10 miles outside the city.
Li Wanqing set off with Nuonuo early in the morning. Nuonuo was very excited along the way and didn't even get carsick.
There weren't many people on the minibuses leaving the city in the morning, and it was rare to see a lively and adorable little girl like Nuonuo.
Li Wanqing was initially worried that the little guy would be too noisy and disturb others.
As a result, the little guy quickly made a name for himself in the carriage with his adorable face.
"Hey girl, are you going to the military camp to see men too?" an older woman in the same car asked.
Li Wanqing nodded. "Is Auntie going to the military camp too?"
The old woman smiled and said, "Looks like we're going the same way. I'm going to see my rascal. He's almost thirty and still doesn't have a girlfriend. I'm getting anxious."
Li Wanqing smiled faintly, unable to respond to that.
The old woman talked about her son the whole way, but Li Wanqing didn't pay much attention.
The old lady complained about her son, but she couldn't hide the pride in her words.
The old lady is a native of Taipei. Her son is lucky; he was assigned to his hometown after joining the army.
I initially thought this was a good thing, since it's close to home and there would be someone to help out if anything happened.
As a result, once he entered the military camp, regardless of distance, he could see people, but he still couldn't find his wife.
Watching Li Wanqing take her daughter to visit relatives, the old lady was extremely envious and kept giving Nuonuo candy.
When they arrived, the old lady warmly led the way for Li Wanqing, clearly indicating that she had been there many times before.
Upon arriving at the military camp, the old woman registered Li Wanqing familiarly and then led her to the reception hall to wait for others.
"The training probably isn't over yet, you'll have to wait a while," the old woman said gently, knowing it was Li Wanqing's first time there.
Sure enough, they waited for almost half an hour before hurried footsteps sounded outside the reception hall.
The old lady slapped her thigh and exclaimed, "Oh dear, they're finally here! Just by hearing those footsteps, I can tell it's my brat, the reincarnation of a starving ghost!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a tall young man with a buzz cut rushed in, his face still covered in sweat from training.
"Mom, you're finally here? Where's my dried meat...?" Shi Yong rushed in excitedly, but stopped when he saw a woman with a child.
Whose young wife is this, bringing her child to visit relatives? He's never seen her in the military camp before.
Sensing the scrutinizing look on her face, Nuonuo hid behind Li Wanqing.
The old woman slapped her son on the shoulder and said angrily, "What are you yelling about? You're scaring the child."
Shi Yong rubbed his shoulders sheepishly. "Wasn't I too hasty?"
The old woman rolled her eyes at him, then looked at Li Wanqing with a smile, "Young lady, please excuse my rudeness."
Li Wanqing shook her head, then looked at Shi Yong, "Comrade, do you know Cheng Baichuan?"
The old lady's son has arrived, but where is he?
"You're Cheng Baichuan's wife?" Shi Yong's eyes widened in disbelief.
Li Wanqing paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "Yes, so you know my wife?"
Shi Yong gave her a meaningful look, then pouted and said, "I don't know it. Who knows that black, hard, smelly rock?"
Li Wanqing: ......
Nuonuo shoved Shi Yong and yelled in a cute but fierce way, "You're not allowed to say that to your dad!"
Shi Yong glanced down at the child, his lips twitching. Such a beautiful and lovely girl was actually Cheng Baichuan's daughter.
Li Wanqing pulled Nuonuo back and comforted her, "Nuonuo, be good, Uncle didn't mean that."
Shi Yong coughed and cleared his throat, saying, "Cheng Baichuan walks slowly, he should arrive in a little while."
No sooner had the words left his mouth than Cheng Baichuan's voice came from outside the door.
