Everyone in the room, except Chief Lu, who came with him, was a little shocked. This was a promotion that skipped levels! He was promoted directly from company commander to deputy regiment commander, and he was also the deputy regiment commander of the special operations zone! This was extremely rare in the entire military region, which showed how satisfied the higher-ups were with Zhao Yilu's performance this time!
Zhao Yilu straightened up immediately, with a serious expression, and saluted in a standard military salute. "Thank you for the recognition, leadership. I will live up to the trust and expectations of the organization. During the next period of recovery, I will seriously study military theory and knowledge, improve my strategic literacy, and make full preparations for my future duties as the deputy commander of the special operations zone."
Zhao Yilu spoke all kinds of official words. The leading leader nodded with satisfaction, exchanged a few words with Zhao Yilu, told him to take good care of his injuries, and then prepared to leave.
When he reached the door, he smiled and said to Fan Hua, "You must be Comrade Xiao Fan! I've heard Captain Lu talk about your deeds. You and Xiao Zhao are both good comrades. You are the treasures of our army. You are also a pillar of the country. You are both contributing to society. You are both outstanding young people. You are a good match!"
Fan Hua smiled and thanked the leader for the compliment, then saw them out.
After the officers left, Fan Hua turned around and looked at Zhao Yilu with a smile, her eyes full of pride, "Great, you became the head of the regiment so quickly, Headmaster Zhao is awesome!"
Zhao Yilu smiled and replied, "No, no, I'm not even one tenth as impressive as Boss Fan!"
The couple held each other in their arms.
Seeing the two people interacting sweetly, Xiao Zhou immediately left the ward tactfully.
Fan Hua walked over and sat beside the bed. While peeling an apple for the father and his two sons, she asked, "By the way, you just said that you want to learn military theory while you are recovering from your injury. Do you have any plans?"
Zhao Yilu nodded, his eyes revealing determination and confidence: "I plan to re-study some of the classic battles in the past, summarize the experience and lessons, and then look at some advanced foreign military concepts, extract the essence, and use it for our own benefit.
In addition, I plan to take the entrance exam for military school, so that I can have more room for advancement in the future. My wife is so capable, so of course I can’t be left behind. I must seize the time to improve myself, otherwise how can I be worthy of such an outstanding person like you! "
Fan Hua sensed the pressure Zhao Yilu was putting on her, and said seriously, "Yilu, you are already really, really good! Don't put too much pressure on yourself. I have achieved what I have now because I have seen China forty years later. I have received a better education. At the same time, I am five years older than you, so I have lived a few more years than you, so you don't need to compare with me."
"How many people in China can become deputy captains at the age of 22? I'm afraid your promotion speed has broken the record!"
"However, I certainly support you to continue to move up. Since you like being a soldier, then the higher the position, the better. This way, you won't have to go on missions so often, and I won't have to worry all the time."
Zhao Yilu smiled gently, "Don't worry, I understand everything!" He certainly understood Fan Hua's thoughts, and he also had his own ideas, which was that he wanted to be Fan Hua's firm backer!
"By the way, wife, I haven't had time to ask you about the performance of your garment factory recently. Are you busy lately?" Zhao Yilu changed the subject.
"Everything is on track now, with Director Liu in charge, and I am only responsible for major decisions.
"Oh, by the way, I just distributed the year-end dividends to Sister Ailing and the others yesterday. Guess how much our net profit is in less than five months since the garment factory opened?" Fan Hua said excitedly.
"How much?" Zhao Yilu asked with a smile.
"More than 180,000! I'm awesome, right!" Fan Hua's face was full of pride.
Zhao Yilu was indeed a little shocked. He had made so much money in just a few months. "Amazing! It's really beyond my expectation."
"I used 100,000 of it to invest in next year's production, and I distributed the remaining 80,000 to everyone yesterday. Sister Ailing and Brother Xie have returned to Beijing today. It's a pity that you got injured just after returning. Otherwise, we could have followed them back to Beijing and visited grandpa and grandma."
Zhao Yilu looked at Fan Hua's regretful expression and said with a smile, "What's the big deal? I have three months of leave to recuperate. It doesn't matter where I recuperate. When the stitches are removed in a few days, we will return to Beijing to stay for a while."
Fan Hua's eyes lit up instantly, "Yes, you have three months of recuperation leave. When you are better, we will return to Beijing to recuperate. I will buy you a wheelchair by then, and you can be pushed wherever we go, just like your grandpa pushes your grandma! If grandpa and grandma knew that we could go home for the New Year, they would definitely be very surprised!"
Yuan Yuan, who was playing nearby, seemed to understand what Fan Hua and Zhao Yilu said, and immediately said, "I miss my great-grandfather and great-grandmother..."
Xiaoxiao also added: "And great-grandma and great-grandpa!"
Fan Hua immediately hugged the two of them and said with a smile, "Okay, okay, then this year let your great-grandma, great-grandpa, and great-grandma accompany you on your birthdays!"
When Yuanyuan and Xiaoxiao heard this, they jumped excitedly in Fan Hua's arms, their little faces flushed red with excitement.
Fan Hua looked at the two children and inexplicably thought of her father, who was only seven years old this year, and her mother, who was five years old. She thought that Beijing was not too far from Ji'nan City, so why not take advantage of the time she had to return to Beijing this year to find a time to visit Ji'nan City!
See if I can meet my parents who are still young. It would be great if I can, but if not, I will just treat it as a trip to relax and have fun.
Fan Hua silently made a decision in her heart...
