After returning to the family compound, Fan Hua planned to call each of the two elderly people in Beijing to say hello.
After returning from Shanghai half a year ago, because she often had to contact the film studio and Shanghai TV station, in order to facilitate communication, Fan Hua installed telephones directly in the staff quarters and photo studio.
Yuanyuan and Xiaoxiao have recently started learning to speak. Fan Hua and Zhao Yilu go to Beijing every week to call each of the two elderly people so that they can hear the two children's voices. Today is the time to talk to the elderly again.
After the call was picked up, Fan Hua greeted He Zhengxiang and Wang Guifen, then turned the phone to Yuanyuan and Xiaoxiao.
"Yuanyuan, Xiaoxiao, call me great grandpa... great grandma!"
Yuanyuan and Xiaoxiao shouted obediently at the side. They could now say simple titles and words.
He Zhengxiang and Wang Guifen on the other end of the phone immediately responded excitedly after hearing the two little baby voices, their mouths almost grinning to their ears.
"My dear, do you miss your great-grandfather and great-grandmother?"
The old commander He Zhengxiang on the other end of the phone had an extremely gentle and kind voice. If his former soldiers had seen him like this, they would have been so shocked that their eyes would pop out of their heads.
Although Xiaoxiao, who was sweet-talking, didn't fully understand what the old man said, she still said sweetly: "Yes!"
This made the two old people on the other end of the phone very excited. They hurriedly said, "Fan girl, are you free recently? If you are free, take the two children back to Beijing to stay for a few days!"
Fan Hua said with a guilty look on her face, "Grandpa, grandma, I'm planning to open a clothing factory recently, so I'm really busy. It may take some time before I can go back to see you."
He Zhengxiang was a little shocked when he heard this. "You're going to set up a clothing factory again? Didn't you just adapt the picture book into a movie? Our granddaughter-in-law is really capable. She's been following you all the way and living off you!"
Wang Guifen, who was standing by, immediately grabbed the microphone and said, "Fan girl, it's good for young people to be ambitious, but you have to take good care of yourself and don't exhaust yourself!"
"That's right, that's right, your grandma is right! You are so thin, don't strain yourself. If you don't have enough money, we have more for you. Your health is the most important thing!"
Fan Hua couldn't help but be moved by the two elderly people's understanding. They didn't blame her for being busy with her career and neglecting her family. She thought that she was really busy recently and couldn't take care of her two children. Zhao Yilu was leading his soldiers to prepare for this year's exercises and didn't have much free time. Instead of this, it would be better to let Aunt Chu take the two children to live in Beijing for a while. This would also ease the elderly people's longing for the two children.
Fan Hua then said, "Grandpa, grandma, Yi Lu and I have been too busy lately and have not been able to take care of Yuan Yuan and Xiao Xiao. The summer in the south is too hot and muggy. How about I send someone to escort Aunt Chu and the two children to Beijing to live with you for a while? How about letting them come back after this busy period?"
After Fan Hua finished speaking, she immediately looked at Aunt Chu beside her, asking for her opinion with her eyes.
Aunt Chu smiled and nodded. Of course, she had no objection. Recently, Fan Hua had given her a raise. Who could earn 90 yuan a month by taking care of a child these days? The key is that food and lodging are all included! She earns more than her son who is a formal employee at a newspaper! Of course, she would do whatever Fan Hua asked her to do. She just had to do her best to take care of the two children!
When the two old people heard this, their eyes immediately lit up and they asked uncertainly, "Is this okay? Will you get angry if the children leave you?"
Fan Hua smiled and said, "To be honest, in the past six months, I have either been taking classes or busy with picture books and movies. Aunt Chu has been taking care of the two children. Sometimes I go on business trips to Shanghai for several days at a time. The two children have gotten used to it. As long as Aunt Chu accompanies them, plus you guys accompany them, they might be happier than staying in the military dependents' home!"
"Okay, okay! That's great! How about this? I'll send my guard Xiao Zhou to pick up the children. Otherwise, I'll be worried. I'll ask him to check when the nearest train to Yangcheng is and buy the tickets to pick up the children as soon as possible!" He Zhengxiang made the decision immediately.
After hearing He Zhengxiang's arrangement, Fan Hua had no objection, "Okay, then let's do as you say, Grandpa!"
After hanging up the phone, Fan Hua called Zhao Xubai and Sun Simin again. Lin Xi answered the phone, "Hello, it's sister. Grandpa Zhao is pushing Grandma Sun to the park for a walk. They won't be back for a while. Would you like to call back later?"
Upon hearing this, Fan Hua casually asked, "Where's your brother?"
Lin Xi immediately replied, "My brother heard that there will be a Chinese painting exhibition in the Ancient City Wall Park in a few days, and he wants to help Grandpa Zhao find out the conditions for participating in the exhibition. If he can participate, Grandpa's paintings will be more valuable in the future!"
Fan Hua nodded with satisfaction. It seemed that the decision to let the brother and sister go to Zhao's house was indeed the right one. Sun Simin had praised the brother and sister more than once on the phone.
Lin Xi is now continuing to attend junior high school. Her academic performance is very good. This well-behaved girl prepares three meals a day for the family, and the meals she cooks are much more delicious than those prepared by the two elderly people themselves!
Lin Chao, on the other hand, ran errands for the two old men, accompanied Zhao Xubai to sell paintings, helped inquire about various matters regarding the art exhibition, and completely became Zhao Xubai's agent. It was said that he had helped Zhao Xubai sell many paintings at high prices in the past six months, and that he was becoming more and more adept in the field of cultural relics, calligraphy and painting!
As expected, if you plant flowers of kindness, you will bear fruits of kindness. Now the performance of Lin Chao and Lin Xi is even better than she had expected.
Fan Hua collected her thoughts and answered Lin Xi on the other end of the phone, "When grandma and grandpa come back, tell them that Yuanyuan and Xiaoxiao are going to live in Beijing in a few days. Grandpa will send guards to Yangcheng to pick them up. You and your brother have taken good care of grandma and grandpa in the past six months. Thank you for your hard work!"
"Okay, sister, I will definitely tell them!" After saying that, she said with an embarrassed look on her face: "Grandpa Zhao and Grandma Sun treat my brother and me very well. We are not ungrateful people. Don't worry, sister, we will take good care of them!"
Fan Hua didn't say anything more and hung up the phone.
…
The next day, Fan Youcheng received a message from Director Liu, saying that he had arranged a meeting with relevant leaders to discuss the acquisition of the textile factory.
Fan Youcheng immediately called Fan Hua and asked her to prepare in advance.
After receiving the news, Fan Hua immediately rode her bike to find Geng Ailing. The two of them worked overnight to prepare an acquisition plan and prepared to meet with relevant leaders!
