"Lihua, after eating the fried chicken popcorn you made last time, she's always wanted me to make it for her. But I've tried several times and I can't make it as good as yours. So, I brought two chickens here today and asked you for help."
"Use one to help Niannian make some popcorn chicken and crispy chicken legs, and keep the other one for yourself." Geng Ailing said as she put the chicken in the kitchen.
Niannian had already rushed into Xiaoxiao's bedroom to play with her.
Fan Hua smiled and replied, "If you want to eat chicken Nian Nian, just tell me directly. Why do you have to bring the chicken yourself?"
Geng Ailing chuckled, "No, it's Yongliang's money. I'm willing to spend his money, but I'm not willing to spend yours. I know better than anyone how hard you've been going through these past year! I've been thinking about you the whole time I've been moving away. Fortunately, Aunt Chu helped me, otherwise I would never have agreed to let Yongliang get the marriage certificate so early."
Fan Hua was directly touched by Geng Ailing's words, "I know better than anyone how hard you've been going through these past year!" and tears immediately flowed down her face...
Over the past year, she has been trying every day to adapt to life in the 1970s. She's busy making money, preparing for college, having children, and raising them. She's forcing herself to quickly accept the reality of being in a book, adapting to life here, and not thinking about her old family and friends anymore...
She has always faced everything with the most positive and hardworking attitude and has never complained about the hard work, but only she knows how much pressure she has been under in the past year!
Geng Ailing didn't expect that just one word could make Fan Hua cry. She always cried more, and it was really rare to see Fan Hua so vulnerable.
She wiped her hands clean, then gently hugged Fan Hua and soothed her back. "Why are you crying? Were you bullied at school? Tell me how you responded, and I'll let Yongliang help you!"
Fan Hua burst into laughter, she took out a handkerchief from her pocket and wiped her tears, sniffling, "Sister Ai Ling, I'm lucky to have you!"
Geng Ailing continued to massage her back while saying, "I should be the one saying, I'm lucky to have you. If I hadn't met you, I can't even imagine how miserable I would be now, let alone going to college and marrying Yongliang!"
"If you really need help in the future, don't be reluctant to ask for help. It's okay if you don't want to ask others for help, but Yongliang and I will be your sister and brother-in-law from now on. If you encounter any difficulties, you must tell us first!"
Fan Hua had just stopped crying, but she started crying again because of the call from Geng Ailing. It was probably because she had been holding it in for too long because of what happened to Zhao Yilu in the past two days. When Geng Ailing was around, she could talk to her about anything, but now that Geng Ailing no longer lived here, she had to hold it in herself.
She couldn't help but hug Geng Ailing tighter. Tears streamed down her cheeks and wet her shoulders. She couldn't care less and choked with sobs, saying, "Sister Ailing, let me hold you and cry for a while, okay?"
Geng Ailing was really upset by Fan Hua's crying! As she was trying to comfort her, there was a knock on the door. Geng Ailing didn't think much about it, thinking it was her husband Xie coming over after work, so she opened the door directly...
Unexpectedly, when the door opened, the person standing outside was Zhao Yilu!
Geng Ailing was stunned for a moment, then her face was filled with surprise...
She did not greet Zhao Yilu immediately, but made a gesture to keep quiet and pointed at Fan Hua, who had turned her back and was wiping her tears anxiously when she heard the knock on the door. After Zhao Yilu entered the house, she tactfully hid in the bedroom to play with the children.
After a long while without hearing any voice, Fan Hua asked with a heavy nasal voice, "Sister Ai Ling, who is it?"
Two seconds later, Fan Hua still didn't hear a response.
She turned around in confusion, but unexpectedly, she ran into a familiar embrace...
