Era: Starting from divorce from female college student

October 1990, Yunlan City.

Time flies, and it's already October.

Meanwhile, in China, the National City Football League is in full swing.

Starting in September, it is estimated to end in December.

The competition between northern cities will likely end before November.

The league between the northern and southern cities will be held in December.

The storm of the football league has swept across the country, creating a wave.

The overall economy has been quietly stirred up.

Previously, many people were unwilling to spend money on tickets, and everyone was guarding their wallets tightly.

Currently, the football league is in full swing, attracting the attention of many casual fans and even die-hard fans.

Because the football league is indeed very exciting, many fans love watching it.

When fans spontaneously pay for tickets to watch the game, the economic landscape has already shifted.

There are also many food streets and such outside the stadium.

After each football league match, many spectators will spend money to buy tickets.

Although ticket revenue from each football league match is not high, it boosts the local economy.

Many cities are taking this matter very seriously and are giving it their full support.

Meanwhile, Xie Lingchuan, the leader of the football association, was completely numb.

They are clearly the true orthodox team, but the other team has now made domestic football so popular.

This completely humiliated their football association.

Therefore, they could only proceed with the competition in a step-by-step manner.

Copying homework? Anyone can do that.

At this point, things started to get a bit chaotic.

However, football associations like Xie Lingchuan's don't have many sponsors, and although the players are more skilled, they don't actually play with much enthusiasm.

On the contrary, every team in the national city football league initiated by Zhao Mancang has been very dedicated and serious.

The gap between the two sides is still very obvious.

Besides, it's already September or October, and winter is approaching, so the competition between the two sides won't last long.

Compared to the situation in China, Yunlan City is currently focused on intensive preparations for the establishment of its nation.

Of course, most of the preparations have been completed; there are just a few details that haven't been finalized yet.

Before November arrived, representatives from countries such as Moscow, the United States, and Great Britain had already arrived in Yunlan City.

They were eager to talk to Chen Guohua and the others.

However, he politely declined, saying that they would discuss the matter again after the country was established.

Inside an office in the municipal government building.

Lü Yangui, Lin Dehong, Gu Zhenan, Chen Guohua, Shou Jiangang, Zeng Zhaoshun, and Lu Shengwen all sat together to discuss matters.

There aren't many things left that haven't been completed.

All preparations for the establishment of the nation have been basically completed.

After listening to their report, Zhao Mancang nodded slightly and said:

"In that case, let's hold the ceremony the day after tomorrow. I hope everything goes smoothly."

Establishing a country is by no means an easy task.

Even considering Yunlan City's own strength, it will inevitably encounter some trouble.

However, Lin Dehong and his team were all very excited and confident that they could get through this situation.

They were all more confident than Zhao Mancang himself.

Yunlan City, Niudongping Village.

Zhou Xiaoqing returned home, where Zhu Qinmei was cooking in the kitchen with her two children.

"You're back? Come help me."

Upon hearing the noise, Zhu Qinmei quickly spoke up.

She has become even busier since the birth of her second child.

Since the eldest child is almost five years old, he can run and jump, and is very mischievous.

Therefore, we have to keep an eye on it.

This meant that while she was cooking, she also had to keep an eye on the two little ones in the living room, which was quite a challenge.

"it is good!"

Zhou Xiaoqing didn't hesitate. The reason he came back early was to help take care of the baby.

Zhu Qinmei could manage with one child, but with two, it would be very difficult.

Judging from the current situation, it will probably be even more difficult to have a third child.

But not having children doesn't seem right either.

Because Yunlan City had already issued a new announcement several months ago.

The nation is about to be established, and its policies will change after its establishment.

In particular, there may be some changes to the newborn subsidy policy.

So Zhou Xiaoqing and Zhu Qinmei discussed it and decided to try to get pregnant before the founding of the nation.

As they did last month, Zhu Qinmei was already five weeks pregnant.

Such a good thing made Zhou Xiaoqing want to quit her current job on the desert greening project.

After resigning, he will stay at home full-time to help his wife get through the most difficult year and a half.

After all, if they were to have a third child, Zhu Qinmei alone would really be too busy to handle it.

However, Zhu Qinmei refused to resign.

She felt she could manage on her own, and if all else failed, she could always hire a nanny.

All you need to do is have it done one month before delivery, one month of postpartum confinement, and one month after that.

In total, it's only three months, and hiring a nanny won't cost much time or money.

After all, Zhou Xiaoqing's salary in the desert greening project was quite high, definitely higher than that of a nanny.

So, it's that simple.

Zhou Xiaoqing was also persuaded by her, and that was the decision.

However, Zhou Xiaoqing is already planning to ask his mother or sister-in-law to come and help him for a few months, for which he will pay her a monthly salary.

He wasn't too comfortable hiring a nanny from outside, but he was sure his mother would be willing to help.

"Alright, wash your hands and eat. Xiao Chuan, quickly take your sister to wash her hands and eat."

Zhu Qinmei called out.

Her eldest son, Zhou Yuanchuan, then took his sister, Zhou Shumin, to wash her hands.

The two little ones are very cute, especially Zhou Shumin, who is exquisitely beautiful and looks more like Zhu Qinmei.

In front of the television, Zhou Xiaoqing's family sat together eating, watching the Yunlan City CCTV station.

There are some news reports above.

"The country is being established the day after tomorrow. I wonder what the procedures will be like, and whether there will be any major changes?"

Upon hearing Zhu Qinmei's question, Zhou Xiaoqing chuckled and replied:
"You may not have been following the news, but representatives from many countries arrived here a few days ago, saying they wanted to seek cooperation, though we don't know if it's true or not."

"However, our Yunlan City has many excellent things, such as Mach 5 fighter jets, hypersonic missiles, drones, robots, and so on. According to foreign media reports, these are all advanced technologies that are ahead of their time, but I don't know if that's true or not."

Zhou Xiaoqing wasn't entirely clear about all of this, but that didn't stop him from being curious and eager to learn more. Many people in their desert afforestation project knew about these things and could analyze them quite logically.

In short, I feel very safe here in Yunlan City.

After all, in the previous disputes and battles, whether it was a direct confrontation or a financial war, Yunlan City had always been the victor.

From this perspective, there is absolutely no need to worry about what will happen if we stay in Yunlan City.

The Middle East has always been a target of bullying.

However, Yunlan City is completely different from countries like the Saudi Empire, the Date Empire, and the Persian Empire.

Besides, if you really can't handle it, you can always call your parents.

It should be noted that all immigrants to Yunlan City came from within China.

They are all descendants of the dragon.

Hearing Zhou Xiaoqing's analysis, Zhu Qinmei nodded.

The above matters have nothing to do with her.

What she cares about more is money, and whether her little family can live peacefully and safely.

She used to have no money and no home.

Now she has a family, and Zhou Xiaoqing treats her very well.

The couple is very much in love, and with their child as a bond, they have a lot of hope for the future.

Once they have saved up one million Yunlan Treasure Notes, the family will take some time to travel abroad.

Zhu Qinmei likes and wants to go to many places, including China, Europe, and the Americas.

Taking the three kids out for a trip would be absolutely fantastic.

Currently, their family has saved nearly 600,000 Yunlan Treasure Notes.

The family now owns three cars, one of which is an extremely luxurious Mercedes-Benz sedan.

In the past, this would have been impossible.

But this is their current situation.

This is also the current situation for many locals in Yunlan City.

Perhaps a small number of new immigrants to Yunlan City do not have this much savings, but many locals who have been immigrants to Yunlan City for many years have a lot of savings.

A considerable number of people even have savings exceeding one million Yunlan Treasure Notes.

For example, Zhou Da'an.

Although he is married, his wife works.

Because his wife has parents in the country who can come and help take care of the children.

Although her parents were unwilling to immigrate to Yunlan City, they frequently visited the city.

Zhou Da'an and Zhou Xiaoqing earned the same salary, but Zhou Da'an's wife, Huang Shuxian, also earned a considerable salary.

Huang Shuxian works as a translator for a company.

Yunlan City has a strong demand for translation talent, which is why Huang Shuxian's salary is very high.

The couple's combined salaries were already quite high.

With the addition of three children, they have received over 100,000 yuan in childcare subsidies in Yunlan Treasure Notes.

From this point of view alone, Zhou Da'an is much stronger than Zhou Xiaoqing.

So Zhou Da'an's savings have already exceeded one million, while Zhou Xiaoqing's are far from reaching that amount.

"Hey, are those foreigners? Why are there so many of them?"

Just then, Zhu Qinmei noticed on the television screen that representatives from different places, such as Moscow and the United States, were talking and chatting with Lü Yangui and his group.

To be honest, what happened today was quite a shock to them.

At this moment, at the municipal government office building.

Lu Yangui was reporting the news to Zhao Mancang, with Lin Dehong, Chen Guohua, Lu Shengwen and others beside him.

"Sir, I just met with representatives from Moscow. They hope to cooperate with us and build a closer alliance."

When Zhao Mancang heard this, he knew that Moscow probably wanted to get something for nothing.

Based on the strength that Yunlan City has demonstrated so far, Moscow may have already concluded that Yunlan City's aerospace capabilities are stronger, and its other strengths should not be underestimated either.

If the two sides can cooperate, it will be more advantageous for Moscow.

The main reason is that Yunlan City itself doesn't have a large population, so it poses little threat to Moscow.

However, if Moscow and Yunlan City cooperate and can gain an advantage over Sam in the aerospace field, that would be a victory.

"Heh, cooperation is fine, but they need to show some sincerity," Zhao Mancang sneered.

Moscow really knows how to pick its timing.

This is indeed a good time to discuss cooperation.

However, the other party only wants to take advantage, and besides, given the current situation in Moscow, it is terminally ill and beyond saving.

Zhao Mancang had already sent people to Moscow to purchase a large number of missiles, nuclear submarines and other equipment, becoming an arms dealer.

To be honest, even if Gorbachev wanted to struggle, George Herbert wouldn't let him.

Moreover, Zhao Mancang would not agree to it.

It's important to know that George Herbert is currently on Zhao Mancang's side, and eliminating Moscow has always been Sam's goal.

Therefore, it is in everyone's interest for Moscow to fall.

So forget about any cooperation. Even if there were, Yunlan City would definitely be the one benefiting.

"Okay, leader, I understand."

After Lü Yangui finished speaking, Zhao Mancang nodded and looked at the others.

With the founding ceremony approaching, it was clear that Chen Guohua, Lin Dehong, Gu Zhenan, and others were very excited.

Afterwards, the group continued to discuss many issues until nightfall, at which point the meeting concluded.

Even though they were very tired, everyone was still very excited.

Too high!

The next day arrived in the blink of an eye. Tomorrow is the founding ceremony of the People's Republic of China, and today will be an even more crucial day.

Everyone in Yunlan City was filled with joy as a result.

However, the Black Cross troops and others were instructed to be even more cautious.

Except for special locations, many factories have already started to close for the holidays.

The desert greening projects have also been basically halted, and everyone has rushed back to Yunlan City to prepare for tomorrow's National Day ceremony.

Zhou Xiaoqing had only been back at the greening project site for two days when she rushed home again.

When Zhu Qinmei saw him, she thought he had gotten into trouble and been fired.

Unexpectedly, it was because of the founding ceremony of the People's Republic of China that I was given a holiday to go home.

Compared to Zhou Xiaoqing's family's relaxed and carefree attitude, Hou Xiaoqiang's family was not so relaxed.

Hou Xiaoqiang is getting busier and busier; anyone who didn't know better would think he was the minister.

Of course, Hou Xiaoqiang had already been promoted to the town level by this time, and his rank had also been raised.

Whether he can continue to improve depends on his own luck and hard work.

"Everyone else is on holiday, why are you still so busy?"

Hou Xiaoqiang didn't get home until after 10 p.m. His wife and children were already getting ready for bed, but the noise made his wife complain.

"I've been so busy because of recent events. If I do my job well, I can relax a bit tomorrow." (End of Chapter)
