Fan Dashuan, who was in the room, heard the sound and limped towards the outside a little bit at a time. Before he could get out of the room, Fan Hua and the others had already come in.
Fan Hua had never seen this great-grandfather in her previous life. I heard that after her great-grandmother passed away, his rheumatism became more and more serious every year, and he died before he was sixty years old.
Fan Dashuan looked at Fan Hua and Zhao Yilu in front of him with a puzzled look on his face. Fan Zhiyong immediately introduced them, "Dad, don't you always talk about your brother who is a soldier? This girl is the daughter of my second uncle!"
When Fan Dashuan heard this, light suddenly appeared in his cloudy eyes.
"It turns out to be the second son's daughter. Come and sit down." He was about to invite her to sit down.
Fan Hua hurried forward to support Fan Dashuan, "Uncle... you are not feeling well, please stop working."
Fan Dashuan looked at Fan Hua, his face full of satisfaction, "She looks like one of our Fan family members. This kid looks very energetic."
After saying that, he looked at Zhao Yilu again, "My girl, who is this?"
Fan Hua immediately introduced, "This is my husband. He is a soldier. He has recently injured his leg and is recovering. He happened to be free to come with me to see you."
Fan Dashuan smiled and nodded, "Well, they are all good kids. This niece-in-law looks like a capable man."
Then he asked nervously, "My girl, where is your father? Why didn't he come?"
Fan Hua had no choice but to bring out the same excuse again, and said with a heavy face: "Uncle, my father was injured many times on the battlefield in his early years, and his health was not very good, so he passed away two years ago...
After hearing this, Fan Dashuan's eyes dimmed and he couldn't help shedding two lines of tears. He was silent for a long time before he sighed, "Alas, Lao Er has had a miserable life. He has served his country loyally."
The room felt a little dull for a moment.
Fan Zhiyong hurriedly tried to smooth things over, "Dad, it's rare for my sister and brother-in-law to come today, so let's be happy."
Fan Dashuan finally came to his senses, wiped his tears and nodded repeatedly, "Yes, that's right."
In fact, the Fan family had guessed a long time ago that Fan Ershuan was gone, otherwise he would not have stayed away from visiting his family. Now that Fan Hua could come was already a pleasant surprise, so everyone quickly adjusted their mood.
Fan Hua immediately took out some snacks and malted milk from the city and distributed them to everyone. "Uncle, cousin, cousin's wife, I didn't bring anything with me because I wasn't sure if I could find you this time. Please accept these things first."
Several people were somewhat flattered. They normally would not be willing to buy these things from the city. They hurriedly said, "It's too expensive, too expensive! We can't afford it!"
"There's no reason to take back the things we brought here. We're all family, so don't be so formal with me!" Fan Hua said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, the Fan family had no choice but to accept it. Fan Dashuan quickly instructed Fan Zhiyong, "Zhiyong, go to the yard and kill the chicken. We will stew it for your sister and brother-in-law today!"
Fan Zhiyong quickly agreed and went to the yard to kill a chicken. Zhang Yumei also went out to help and went to the kitchen to boil water in advance to prepare for plucking the chicken.
There were only four people left in the room: Fan Dashuan, Fan Mingqi and the Fan Hua couple.
Fan Mingqi was very polite and moved a stool to Fan Hua's side, "Aunt, please sit down!" He also asked considerately, "Aunt, uncle, are you thirsty? Do you want me to boil some water for you?"
Fan Hua and Zhao Yi Lu didn't dare to respond to Fan Mingqi's call, and shook their heads at the same time, "Not thirsty!"
After saying this, Fan Hua recalled the scene when she was a child and her father always cared about her schooling. She immediately put on a loving smile, bent down and asked in a sweet voice: "Little boy, you look six or seven years old this year, right? Are you in school? How is your study? What is your ranking in the class?"
Well, it takes turns to be the elder, and no one can escape from it.
He Mingqi immediately said seriously, "Aunt, I'm seven years old this year. You can just call me Mingqi, don't call me kid." After that, his eyes darkened again, "I haven't started school yet, because I have to go to school in town, which is several miles away. My parents think I'm a little young, so they want me to go next year when I'm older."
Fan Hua had never expected that her father's childhood would be so difficult. In the past, her father often lamented how much better off children are nowadays, and how hard it was for them to go to school when they were young. They had to walk several miles every day, and suffered even more when it was windy and rainy...
Every time Fan Hua heard this, she didn't take it seriously. She hadn't experienced the hardships herself and couldn't empathize with them. It was not until today that she understood how difficult it was for her father to go to school when he was a child.
She thought about it and decided that since she was already here, she should do something for her family. So she patted Fan Mingqi's head and said, "Don't worry, you will be able to go to school soon! You will definitely be admitted to university in the future. You will have a bright future."
This simple sentence seemed to have planted a seed in little Fan Mingqi's heart, and Fan Mingqi's eyes lit up.
Seeing that it was still early for dinner, Fan Hua wanted to take a walk around the village, so she told Fan Dashuan and asked Xiao Mingqi to lead the way.
Xiao Mingqi agreed happily. He liked his aunt very much and felt very close to her from the first moment he saw her. He hoped that his aunt would like this village and even stay with him for a few more days.
After Fan Hua pushed Zhao Yilu out, she followed behind Fan Mingqi. Looking at the young father happily leading the way in front, both of them felt complicated.
Fan Hua called Fan Mingqi and asked, "Mingqi, do you know where the village chief lives?"
"I know, auntie, why are you asking about the village chief's family?" Xiao Mingqi asked puzzledly.
Fan Hua did not answer Xiao Mingqi's question, but directly said: "Take aunt over there!"
Although Xiao Mingqi was confused, he still led the way obediently.
Zhao Yilu turned his head and looked at Fan Hua. How could he not understand what Fan Hua wanted to do? He had only one worry at this moment, that is, if the fate of Fan Hua's family was rewritten too much, would they still have a daughter like Fan Hua in the future?
So he couldn't help but remind her: "Wife, I think you should not interfere too much, otherwise I will be a little worried, in the future..."
Fan Hua patted Zhao Yilu's shoulder soothingly, "Don't worry, I understand. Since I'm here, I definitely want Dad to suffer less in the future. The general trajectory will not change. If it does change, I can only say that it's fate."
Zhao Yilu said no more. It turned out that Fan Hua understood his concerns. So just let her be!
