Zhao Yilu finished training early today and came to pick up Fan Hua to go out for a walk.
Fan Hua saw Zhao Yilu pushing his bicycle and jogging to his side, and asked in a good mood, "Is the training over today?"
Zhao Yilu nodded and took over the bicycle lane. "Today's training ended early. The New Year is coming soon. I want to accompany you to the department store to go shopping. I want to buy you and the children some thick clothes in advance for the way back to Beijing. Beijing is not like Guangzhou. You must wear thicker clothes!"
"Okay, I also want to see if there is any material suitable for making clothes for Yuanyuan and Xiaoxiao!"
Zhao nodded all the way, and directly carried Fan Hua to sit on the crossbeam in front of the car so that they could talk.
It was the first time for Fan Hua to sit on the crossbeam of a car. Although she was a little scared, she felt more of a novelty.
After Zhao Yilu saw Fan Hua sitting down, he straddled the bicycle with his long legs and started riding with his arms around her.
Zhao Yilu said as he rode: "The marriage leave application I submitted to the army has been approved. I can take a leave for the second half of the month during the Chinese New Year. Then I will take you and the children back to Beijing and we will hold the wedding!"
After saying that, he looked at Fan Hua who was listening attentively, paused, and then continued: "Our battalion commander recommended me to be the deputy commander of the second company a few days ago. We will know the result in a few days. If everything goes well, you and the children can come to join the army after the New Year. It's not a good idea to always rent Aunt Jiang's house. After all, it belongs to the newspaper's staff building. If someone really reports it..."
Fan Hua nodded before Zhao Yilu finished speaking, "Okay, I have no objection!"
Zhao Yilu didn't expect Fan Hua to agree so readily. He thought she would be reluctant to leave the family building on Wusi Road.
The two of them came to the department store while chatting. After walking around the store, they found that the thickest clothes were woolen sweaters and tweed coats. The winter in Guangzhou is really warm, so it is impossible to wear thick clothes.
Fan Hua was helpless. In the end, she picked out a woolen sweater for herself and Zhao Yilu respectively, and selected a very capable leather jacket for Zhao Yilu. As for the two children, she really didn't see anything they liked. So she decided to buy some cotton and go back to make little flowered jackets for them herself!
However, she saw a red material in the fabric area that she particularly liked. Thinking that she and her sister Ailing would hold a banquet when she returned home during the Chinese New Year, Fan Hua decisively took out all the fabric coupons she had bought on the black market and bought more than ten feet of this material.
As Zhao Yilu looked at the dazzling red color, he instantly understood what Fan Hua bought the material for, and there was some anticipation in his eyes.
I haven’t seen Fan Hua wearing red yet. It should be brighter and more beautiful than the yellow one she has now!
After Zhao took Fan Hua shopping, he sent Fan Hua back to the staff dormitory building. He quickly met Yuanxiao and his sister and prepared to return to the army.
However, when Yuanxiao and his sister saw that he was leaving, they immediately burst into tears together, especially Xiaoxiao, who kept crying “Daddy, Daddy…” The sound of their crying would make anyone feel heartbroken.
Fan Hua and Aunt Chu quickly picked up one of them and coaxed them, "Xiaoxiao, don't cry, Xiaoxiao, don't cry, Daddy will be back in a few days, and then he will be able to accompany us for many days! Be good, don't cry, Daddy has a time limit when he comes out, if you don't come back, you will be late, and then you will be spanked..."
Fan Hua coaxed softly... Zhao Yilu looked at the mother and her two children with complicated eyes. He now only hoped that he could be promoted smoothly this time. He really didn't want to be separated from the mother and her two children anymore!
When Fan Hua saw that the crying of the two kids had quieted down, she signaled Zhao Yilu with her eyes to leave quickly and leave the rest to her.
Zhao Yilu nodded, turned around and left...
Unexpectedly, at the moment when Zhao Yilu turned around, Yuanyuan, who was standing on the ground with the help of Aunt Chu, suddenly broke away from Aunt Chu's hand and staggered towards Zhao Yilu!
The air was still for a moment, Fan Hua and Aunt Chu stared at the scene with their eyes wide open, Yuan Yuan, who was only a month away from turning one, was actually going to die!!!
Zhao Yilu noticed something was wrong behind him, turned around immediately and witnessed this memorable scene.
He immediately squatted down excitedly, opened his arms, and welcomed Yuanyuan as she rushed towards him with her short legs.
Little Yuanyuan became even more excited when she saw Zhao Yilu's encouraging eyes and actions. She walked towards Zhao Yilu while babbling.
When he was about one meter away from Zhao Yilu, he suddenly lost his balance and fell forward...
Zhao Yilu stretched out his long arms and instantly hugged Yuanyuan, lifting him high up. "Good job, little boy! You can walk now. When you grow up a little more, Daddy will teach you how to shoot a gun!"
Xiaoxiao in Fan Hua's arms stopped crying when she saw her brother walking. She opened her big eyes and looked at her brother who was held high by her father. She immediately opened her little hands, waving them while shouting, "Daddy, hold me, hold me..."
Zhao was helpless. He really couldn't refuse the soft Xiaoxiao, so he had to hand Yuanyuan back to Aunt Chu, and took Xiaoxiao from Fan Hua and held her high again.
He kissed Xiaoxiao lightly on the forehead, and then said gently: "Xiaoxiao, be good. Dad will come to see you in two days. Then I will buy you and your brother your favorite toys and delicious food. You must listen to mom and don't cry, okay?"
Xiaoxiao seemed to understand what Zhao Yilu said this time and really stopped crying.
Zhao Yilu then handed Xiaoxiao back to Fan Hua, turned around and strode away...
After a few more days, the semester finally ended, and Fan Hua welcomed her first winter vacation since she transmigrated into the book. It lasted for a whole month, and school would resume after the Lantern Festival.
She once again experienced the joy of winter and summer vacations in her previous life!
After the winter vacation, Geng Ailing brought Nian Lai to visit Fan Hua almost every day, and they would stay for the whole day until Director Xie came to pick them up after get off work in the afternoon.
She also asked Director Xie to move his sewing machine over. These days, the two of them have been busy with one thing, which is to sew wedding dresses for herself!
In this era, wearing a red suit when getting married is the most popular thing. Fan Hua didn't want to look too different, so she designed a red suit for herself and sister Ailing, but her design incorporated some Chinese Xiuhe elements, making it look more elegant and gentle.
That day, Geng Ailing looked at the design that Fan Hua had drawn and said sincerely, "Lihua, the clothes you designed are just beautiful. Although they are a little different from what other people wear at weddings, I think your design is more beautiful and more suitable for me!"
"But I'm a little worried that it will be a bit cold wearing only this outfit. In my hometown, people wear red cotton jackets when they get married in winter. Although this woolen material is thick, it is still far less thick than a cotton jacket! Do you think I will be so cold that my teeth will chatter?"
Fan Hua smiled and said, "Don't worry, let's make the clothes first. The size will be slightly looser than usual. I have already thought of a solution. I will make sure that the clothes are warm and not bulky when worn!"
