Zhao Yilu stayed in the hospital for eight or nine days. During these days, Fan Hua prepared all kinds of delicious food for Zhao Yilu to supplement his nutrition. Zhao Yilu, whose cheekbones were a little sunken after returning from the mission, now looked handsome again.
On the 30th day of the twelfth lunar month, Zhao Yilu's condition had basically stabilized, and all that was left was for him to go home and rest. Fan Hua bought tickets for that day while there was still time, and decided that the whole family would go home for the New Year.
In this era, a flight ticket from Guangzhou to Beijing costs more than 100 yuan, which is equivalent to two or three months' salary for an ordinary worker. An ordinary family will never take a plane in their entire life.
However, Fan Hua is now a big boss and a wealthy woman, so she decisively bought tickets for the family of four to return to Beijing.
As for Aunt Chu and Xiao Zhou, Fan Hua simply gave them a holiday and sent them back to celebrate the New Year. There were many people in Beijing, and there were enough people to take care of both the children and Zhao Yilu, so there was no need to let them go with them.
Fan Hua called Beijing in advance and arranged the pick-up arrangements, then asked Xiao Zhou to drive the family to Yangcheng Airport.
It was the first time for both children to fly. They were in a state of excitement since entering the airport. They were very excited and looked around the whole time, and were very busy.
Fan Hua pushed Zhao Yilu, who was sitting in a wheelchair holding Yuanyuan and Xiaoxiao, while Xiao Zhou followed closely beside him carrying the luggage.
After entering the terminal hall, Xiao Zhou directly presented his relevant documents and briefly told the airport staff about Zhao Yilu's heroic deeds. The airport immediately sent several staff members to help, and Xiao Zhou left with peace of mind.
The staff enthusiastically guided them to a special channel for priority boarding. The two children held by the staff had their eyes shining with excitement, and the two babies were babbling something.
After boarding the plane, Xiaoxiao touched the armrest of the seat curiously, while Yuanyuan opened his eyes wide and looked at the busy scene on the tarmac outside the window.
The plane took off smoothly and arrived in Beijing that afternoon. The family of four got off the plane with the help of the staff. As soon as they got off the plane, they saw grandpa, grandma, grandmother, grandfather and He Siyan. The whole family was standing neatly at the airport.
Seeing Fan Hua pushing Zhao Yilu over, several people immediately came over. When the two children saw the elderly people, they struggled to get out of the staff's arms and ran towards Wang Guifen and Sun Simin.
"Grandpa, grandma, grandma, grandpa, and big brother, we are back to celebrate the New Year!" Zhao Yilu and Fan Hua said with a smile in unison.
He Zhengxiang stepped forward and patted Zhao Yilu on the shoulder. "Good job, kid! You didn't bring shame to the He and Zhao families!"
"Yilu, how is your leg injury now? Does it still hurt?" asked Sun Simin, who was also sitting in a wheelchair holding Xiaoxiao.
"It's okay. The stitches have been removed. If it weren't for Fan Hua looking after me, I would be able to walk!" Zhao Yilu replied with a smile.
"Good management! Who told you to be disobedient? That's how I manage you! It's only been a few days since you had the operation, and you still want to walk. You're just like your grandfather, both with a stubborn temper!" Wang Guifen immediately complained.
"You old woman, how can you always involve me in everything!" He Zhengxiang was a little unconvinced when he heard it.
Fan Huasheng was afraid that He Zhengxiang and Wang Guifen might quarrel here, so he immediately changed the subject and said, "Grandpa, grandma, let's go back and talk about it. Did you drive a car here? How are we going to get back?"
"Xiao Zhou and I each drove one, and we also borrowed our neighbor Grandpa Zhang's car. Let's go, the cars are outside." He Siyan's cold and gentle voice sounded.
Only then did Fan Hua notice that this uncle had changed a lot in the past year. He used to be too gentle and refined, and his poor health always gave people a fragile feeling. But when they met this time, although he still had a cool and gentle temperament, he spoke with full energy, and his skin color was no longer the pale white skin before. He looked much more energetic. It seemed that his cough and asthma were completely cured!
This time the group headed outside. Xiao Zhou drove a car with He Zhengxiang, Zhao Xubai, Zhao Yilu and Yuanyuan, while He Zhengxiang drove a car with the remaining four female comrades. The two cars drove towards the alley on the second ring road in northern Beijing.
Returning to Beijing, Fan Hua discovered that the streets were even busier this year than last year. It was clear that each year was getting better than the last.
Back in the alleys of the second ring road in northern Beijing, red lanterns have already been hung high in front of the familiar old houses, swaying gently in the breeze, emitting warm and festive light.
As soon as you enter the door, the strong New Year atmosphere hits you.
Inside the house, there are brand new New Year pictures on the wall. The fat baby in the picture is holding a carp with a bright smile, which means abundance every year. The table is filled with various New Year goods, including the children’s favorite candies and cakes, as well as fresh ingredients prepared for making dumplings.
As soon as Wang Guifen entered the house, she went straight into the kitchen to prepare a sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner. Fan Hua wanted to go in to help, but unexpectedly found that Lin Chao and Lin Xi, brother and sister, had grown a little taller.
Lin Xi shouted excitedly: "Sister, you're back, dinner is almost ready, don't come in and get involved!"
Lin Chao, who was lighting a fire nearby, also said, "That's right, sister, you don't need to help here. We can just help Grandma Wang!"
Wang Guifen had a bright smile on her face: "You go and accompany the children. These two siblings are good at cooking and have helped me a lot recently."
After hearing this, Fan Hua didn't try to keep her anymore and went back to the living room with a smile.
In the living room, He Zhengxiang chatted with Zhao Yilu and asked him about his experiences in Guangzhou. When he heard about the thrilling parts, He Zhengxiang couldn't help but frowned, and then patted Zhao Yilu's shoulder with satisfaction, praising his bravery.
Zhao Xubai and He Siyan were drinking tea and listening to their conversation.
Yuanyuan and Xiaoxiao were playing with their newly bought toys, and would run over from time to time to show the adults their "new achievements".
Looking at the warmth and liveliness in the house, Fan Hua understood more clearly why people always say that whether they have money or not, they should go home for the New Year.
I used to think that the Chinese New Year was just a formality, but now I understand that the Chinese New Year is about going home and being with family.
At this moment, Fan Hua really missed her real family, her parents, grandparents, and grandparents. They have been here for more than two and a half years, and she doesn't know how they are doing now? After she suddenly disappeared, they must have been very worried, right?
She really needed to find out as soon as possible whether this world existed in parallel. In any case, she wanted to leave some useful information for her family so that they could feel at ease.
