Fan Hua looked at the big unity banknotes that Zhao Yilu had left behind. There were twenty of them, which equaled two hundred yuan. An ordinary person might not be able to save that much after working for a year. This amount would be equivalent to tens of thousands of yuan in forty years.
How did Zhao Yilu recognize her? And why did he give her so much money?
Fan Hua speculated seriously and thought that this was probably... when He Siyan was an educated youth in the village, he, as his younger brother, came to the village to see his brother and had also met the original owner, Fan Lihua. It's just that he had no memory of Fan Lihua and it was not written in the book, so he didn't know.
Judging from Zhao Yilu's attitude towards her today, He Siyan must have told him that they had slept together after returning to Beijing, so Zhao Yilu misunderstood. Now he treats her as his future sister-in-law and helps her out of pity!
This He Siyan is really something, why does he tell everything to others?
Fan Hua's impression of He Siyan became even worse!
If her guess was correct, she must not let Zhao Yilu know that she was pregnant, and she must not let Zhao Yilu tell He Siyan that he had seen her! Otherwise, she would have a hard time living a peaceful life in the future!
As for the money, just accept it first and treat it as a loan. She can find a way to pay it back later. After all, she is really short of money now!
Fan Hua put the money away and returned to her seat in a good mood. When she looked at Zhao Yilu who was still standing beside her, she felt that he was particularly pleasing to the eye and could not help but give him a sweet smile.
The original owner was already sweet and pretty. Now when she smiled, her delicate eyebrows became curved, and there were two dimples on her fair face. She was just like her name, like a pear blossom that had just bloomed in spring, beautiful and sweet.
Zhao Yilu's heart suddenly skipped a beat...
When he was an educated youth in Fanjia Village, he heard people say that although Fan Lihua was pretty, she was lazy and stupid, and her family members were even more unreasonable. He said that he must stay away from her, otherwise life would be miserable if he married such a person.
Zhao Yilu was originally sent to the countryside to replace his elder brother He Siyan, who was in poor health. He had always used his brother He Siyan's name in the village. In order to avoid being discovered, he kept a low profile as much as possible, fearing that he would cause trouble and harm his elder brother and the entire He family. The crime of impersonating someone else to go to the countryside was no joke! So he never paid attention to Fan Lihua when he saw her in the past, and the two of them never said a word.
Even that night, after the incident, he only glanced at Fan Lihua in the moonlight and quickly jumped out of the window to leave. Otherwise, if he was caught by Fan Daqiang, he would definitely force him to marry Fan Lihua immediately. It's not that he doesn't want to take responsibility, but he can't do it now...
So he left a letter, promising her to wait for three years and that he would come back to marry her after three years!
Now, Zhao Yilu realized that she was so sweet and beautiful when she smiled. She was the most beautiful girl he had ever seen when she smiled. It was hard to take your eyes off her...
In addition, he had been keeping an eye on Fan Hua since he got on the train. After observing and spending time with her for a few hours, he felt that Fan Hua might not be as stupid as the rumors said...
On the contrary, her eyes are clear and bright, and she looks smart and thoughtful.
"Fan Huaer, why did you take so long?" Geng Ailing asked with concern when she saw Fan Hua coming back.
"It's nothing, my waist just felt a little sore after sitting for a long time, so I stood outside for a while while fetching water." Fan Hua replied with a smile.
"We're almost at Xing City. This stop will take a long time. If you feel bored, you can get off the train and get some fresh air when it arrives."
"Okay, I'll go downstairs and take a look. Sister Geng, do you want to come with me?"
"You go ahead, I'll stay and help you with your luggage."
"What's there to see? It's just this small bag. There's nothing in it except my clothes. Even thieves won't even look at it. Besides, there are so many military comrades in the carriage. Thieves will definitely stay away from it."
Geng Ailing thought about it and nodded in agreement, but when she got off the bus, she only left her bedding and luggage behind and carried the bag containing the money on her back.
Fan Hua was a little excited. It would have been okay for her to have no money before, but now she had 200 yuan in cash. She wanted to see if there were any places selling water cups, toothbrushes, towels, soaps and other things near the platform. Otherwise, if she didn't brush her teeth for two or three days, she probably wouldn't be able to eat.
After the train stopped, Fan Hua pulled Geng Ailing and excitedly jumped off the train...
Unfortunately, in this era, the control of supplies was strict, and it was night, so they walked around the train station but didn't see any daily necessities. Finally, they saw a bar selling soap, but they had to ask for soap tickets! She then remembered that in this era, money alone was not enough, and tickets were also needed!
"Lihuaer, do you want to buy some soap?" Geng Ailing asked.
"Well, it's a pity that I don't have a ticket." Fan Hua looked depressed.
As soon as she finished speaking, Geng Ailing handed over a soap ticket. "Here, take it, I have it here!"
Fan Hua's eyes lit up instantly, and she took the ticket and thanked Geng Ailing. "Sister Geng, you are such a nice person!"
Geng Ailing felt a little embarrassed by what she said, and chuckled, "Actually, I was willing to give it to you because I thought that once we leave Jibei Province, my soap coupons, which are limited to use within the province, would no longer be usable. Otherwise, I wouldn't be so generous."
Fan Hua...
This Mrs. Geng is a bit too realistic.
After buying the soap, they walked towards the carriage. When they saw people smoking, Fan Hua covered her mouth and nose tightly, fearing that her stomach would churn again.
When I returned to my seat, I unexpectedly discovered that there were a few more things at my seat——
An old-fashioned thermos, a towel, a set of toothpaste and toothbrush, and two snacks wrapped in oil paper!
Fan Hua subconsciously looked at Zhao Yilu who had already sat back in his seat, only to see him nod slightly.
Fan Hua couldn't help but shout in her heart: Oh my god, this man is too amazing! How did he get all these things? She couldn't help but have a better impression of this cannon fodder brother.
Mrs. Geng was also very curious: "Lihua, why are there so many things on your seat? Did someone put them in the wrong place?"
As Fan Hua put the things into her small bag, she said, "Who knows? Just put them away first. If someone comes looking for them, we can return them. If no one wants them, they are ours."
In this day and age, everything is considered precious. Geng Ailing felt that what Fan Hua said made sense, so she nodded and did not ask any more questions.
The train started moving again, and the noise in the car gradually died down. This was because there was a team of new soldiers guarding this car, and everyone knew that thieves would definitely not dare to do anything in this car, so they all found a comfortable position and fell asleep with peace of mind.
Some crawled under the seats to lie down, some lay on the small dining table to sleep, some slept together with two acquaintances, and many people even climbed onto the luggage rack to sleep...
In this era, taking a train is a luxury, and even fewer people buy sleeper berths. Moreover, buying sleeper berths is not only expensive but also subject to restrictions, so even for long-distance travel, everyone buys hard seats.
Fan Hua looked around, seeing all kinds of strange sleeping positions and listening to the snoring sounds, and felt a little complicated.
She had taken a nap in the afternoon and was not sleepy at all. Seeing that Zhao Yilu, who sat across from her, was also still awake, Fan Hua was thinking that she would find an opportunity to thank him after everyone fell asleep, and also remind him not to tell He Siyan that he had seen her.
Geng Ailing saw Fan Hua sitting upright, not knowing what she was thinking, so she pushed her and said, "Lihua, I'm going to sleep under our seat. You can lie down on the seat and rest for a while."
"Sister Geng, it's too cold to sleep downstairs, let's just sleep leaning against each other!" Fan Hua suggested.
"No, no, I've heard that sleeping under a seat is more comfortable, so I brought a small cushion with me this time. I'll put it under there, so it won't be cold."
When Fan Hua heard Geng Ailing say this, she no longer refused and felt even more favorable towards Mrs. Geng.
"Okay, thank you for your hard work tonight, Sister Geng. Tomorrow night we will switch places. I will sleep on the bottom and you on the top."
"Hey, it's not a big deal. There's no need to take it so seriously. We should take care of each other when we are out. Okay, you should go to sleep too. Riding a car is tiring." After saying that, Geng Ailing crawled under the car seat and fell asleep.
After a while, Fan Hua saw that everyone around her was asleep, and she and Zhao Yilu were the only ones still sitting in the carriage. She gave Zhao Yilu a look, then walked towards the kettle with the cup of water.
Seeing this, Zhao Yilu stood up and followed...
There were sleeping passengers lying all over the ground, and Fan Hua walked very carefully, fearing that she would trip.
Finally, they were almost at the junction of the carriages. A person lying under the seat suddenly turned over and stretched his legs. Fan Hua was tripped and fell forward. She subconsciously supported herself with her hands on the ground, trying to protect her stomach, and closed her eyes...
