"Comrade, what is your name?"
"My name is Fan Lihua~"
"Oh, you are the girl that Comrade Zhao Yilu has been waiting for!" The other person's tone was obviously a little higher. "He has been waiting for your call these two days, Comrade Fan. Comrade Zhao Yilu is training now. I will ask him to call you back after the training ends at 5:30 pm."
When Fan Hua heard that Zhao Yilu had been waiting for her call, she was stunned for a moment. She wanted to ask Sun Xiang to help tell Zhao Yilu about her remittance, but her mouth did not listen to her brain, and she said inexplicably, "Oh, OK!"
Then I heard the other party say, "Comrade Fan, that's it for now. Goodbye!"
Then there was the sound of the phone being hung up.
When Fan Hua put down the phone, she was still confused. Aunt Sun at the newsstand saw that she hung up the phone so quickly and asked, "Little girl, why did you hang up after just two sentences?"
"Auntie, the person I'm looking for is busy now and will call me back later. My name is Fan Lihua, and I live in the second household on the second floor of this dormitory building. Please call me when the time comes." After saying that, Fan Hua handed over five cents for phone bill.
"Okay, Fan Lihua, right? This name really suits you! I'll call you when you call me later!"
After thanking her, Fan Hua went home. Seeing Geng Ailing still busy, she felt embarrassed to take a break, so she quickly helped to cut the fabric and arranged the fabric and buttons for each set of clothes according to the size. She was busy all afternoon.
…
After finishing the training in the army, Zhao Yilu walked towards the office as usual during his free break. He thought that if he didn't hear from Fan Hua today, he would call his grandfather in Beijing and ask him to help find the servant, otherwise he was really worried that something might happen to Fan Hua in Yangcheng.
I didn't expect to see Sun Xiang walking towards me before I even reached the office.
"Hey, I was just looking for you. Your boyfriend called you today. Go ahead and call him back!"
When Zhao Yilu heard this, he immediately quickened his pace and ran to the phone booth. Sun Xiang, who was a step slower in reaction, followed closely behind and almost couldn't catch up.
"This is her number. The call came around 2 o'clock in the afternoon. You were training at the time. I told her that I would call her back later. You know what, your girlfriend's voice is so nice. She must be a pretty girl!" Sun Xiang explained the situation to Zhao Yilu while panting.
After Zhao Yilu received the number, he couldn't wait to dial it.
"Hello, who is this?"
The voice of Aunt Sun with a Cantonese accent came from the other end of the phone.
"Hello, I'm Zhao Yilu, looking for Comrade Fan Lihua."
"Oh, you're looking for Lihua. Please call me back in two minutes. I'll go upstairs to call her."
"Okay, thank you!"
Zhao Yilu sat in front of the phone, the sweat on his palms revealing that he was a little nervous at the moment.
Two minutes later, the phone rang. Zhao Yilu immediately picked up the phone, and Fan Hua's gentle and peaceful voice came from the receiver.
"Hello, is this Comrade Zhao Yilu?"
"Yes, it's me, Comrade Fan... How are you doing in Yangcheng? Have you settled down?"
"Everything is settled, don't worry, Comrade Zhao. By the way, I transferred the 200 yuan I borrowed from you on the train to you today. When you have time, remember to take your ID and go to the nearby post office to pick it up!"
Zhao Yilu frowned and his voice became a few notes lower.
"You've only been in Yangcheng for a few days, why don't you keep the flowers? How's your condition now? Have you gone to the hospital to check your head?"
Fan Hua couldn't believe that he still remembered the excuse she made up about a head injury in order to explain why she forgot something. She suddenly felt warm in her heart and her tone softened a lot.
"Comrade Zhao, I'm fine. I went to the hospital to check my brain. I just can't remember some things clearly. There's no other impact. I thought you had just joined the army and didn't get any allowances. You must have a place to use the money, so I'll send it to you as soon as I earn it."
"You made money? How did you make it? Are you living in a hotel or somewhere else now?"
Fan Hua thought that if she didn't explain her current situation clearly to Zhao Yilu, he would definitely keep thinking about her. After all, he might regard her as his future sister-in-law. So she simply told Zhao Yilu about what had happened to her in recent days.
