Wang Caiyan was pregnant and not in good condition, so An Hua asked her not to come to work for the time being, but to go home and take good care of the baby and wait until she gave birth.
Wang Caiyan was a little hesitant, fearing that she would never be able to come back if she went there. However, she persisted for two days and found that she was tired and vomiting a lot. The situation was really not suitable, so she had to go back to her home.
The house has two floors, with a total area of about three or four hundred square meters. There is also a child who is less than two years old to take care of. Yang Tao is so busy that she can hardly take care of it all by herself.
Xiao Xiao's family was equipped with civil servants and nannies, but An Hua felt that she was already familiar with Wang Caiyan and Yang Tao, so she didn't organize any deployment. If there were not enough people, she could ask the civil servants from the public service team to send over.
The public service class consists of active-duty soldiers, whose main purpose is to provide logistical services to the leaders.
Soon, the civil servant assigned to Xiao Chen came over.
The young man has a round head and face, with naturally upturned corners of his lips and a friendly look.
He saluted.
"Hello, Chief. My name is Zhao Xinmin. I am in my fifth year of service and I am nineteen years old."
Xiao Xiao nodded, "Okay, I'll have to trouble you in the future, Xiao Zhao."
"Serving the leader is not hard." Zhao Xinmin's voice was neither too loud nor too soft, and his speech speed was a little fast, but his words were clear and crisp, which made people feel comfortable listening to him.
"Xiao Zhao, this is Yang Tao. Let her take you to get familiar with the house first." An Hua said.
"Okay, sister-in-law." Zhao Xinmin said to Yang Tao again: "Thank you for your hard work, Comrade Yang Tao."
Yang Tao felt that Zhao Xinmin's speech and movements were very methodical, unlike other people, and she couldn't help but look at him a few more times out of curiosity.
Afterwards, Yang Tao came to ask An Hua, "Auntie, where does Xiao Zhao live?"
An Hua said, "He is an active-duty soldier. He comes here to work during the day and has to go back to the dormitory at night."
Yang Tao said, "He is quite capable and seems to be able to do everything. He said he can also cook."
"Really? Then let him show off his skills at noon."
Xiao Zhao really showed off his skills and made a dish of braised eggplant with green onions, which immediately conquered Xiao's stomach.
Xiao Chen likes this kind of dish with strong sauce flavor.
To be honest, the dishes his wife cooked were delicious, but sometimes they were too fancy, and were not as good as simple dishes like this one, which had a more homely taste. As for Yang Tao and Wang Caiyan, their cooking was homely, but their cooking skills were a little worse.
Xiao Qi was thinking this when he noticed that his wife was looking at him.
His heart skipped a beat. Could it be that his wife had eagle eyes and could see what he was thinking?
Xiao Chen commented calmly, "Xiao Zhao's cooking skills are okay, but not as good as my wife's."
An Huan smiled. If Xiao Chen hadn't had the plate of roasted eggplant and only had two bowls of rice, she would have believed what he said.
"I haven't been in the kitchen for a long time. My hands are so useless." An Hua didn't expose him and said, "From now on, I'll leave the kitchen to Xiao Zhao."
Xiao: "It's up to you."
The family was running smoothly again.
At the end of the year, Xiao Chen told An Hua a piece of news.
"Hansong is going to retire and return to his hometown."
"Really?... Isn't he already a member of the independent division? His future is bright, why did he change his career?"
"He said it was for his family... He has a younger sister who got sick during the movement," Xiao pointed to his head, "and he said things weren't working well here. Plus, his parents are old now and need someone to take care of them, so he thought about it and decided to transfer back home."
"Didn't you hear what Yang Tianjiao said?" Xiao Yu asked An Hua.
An Hua shook her head. "A few years ago, I heard her say that she was finally pregnant and gave birth to a son. We haven't been in touch for the past two years."
Many relationships in life will disappear quietly in the long river of time, and not all of them have a beginning and an end.
Now that Hansong has retired, Yang Tianjiao should also follow him back to his hometown. The distance between them will be even greater in the future, and their interactions will probably be even less.
Unlike Xiao Fangfang, who has a blood bond that will never be broken.
During the Spring Festival of 2009, at An Hua's urging, Xiao Fangfang and Geng Biao came to the provincial capital at the end of December.
"Fangfang, come in quickly." An Huan pulled Xiao Fangfang's hand.
This was Xiao Fangfang's first time here since moving into the General's Building. She looked around and then gave An Hua a thumbs up.
An Hua smiled and said to Xiao Xiao: "Sister is praising you."
