Zhao Yilu finished his training early the next day and came to pick up Fan Hua to go out for a walk.
Seeing Zhao Yilu pushing his bicycle and jogging to his side, Fan Hua asked cheerfully, "Is today's training over?"
Zhao Yilu nodded and took over the bicycle lane. "Training ended early today, and the New Year is almost here. I wanted to go shopping with you at the shopping mall. I bought you and the kids some thick clothes in advance for the trip back to Beijing. Beijing is not like Guangzhou, so you have to wear thicker clothes!"
"Okay, I also want to see if there's any material suitable for making clothes for Yuyu and Xiaoxiao!"
Zhao nodded all the way, then carried Fan Hua to sit on the beam in front of the car so that they could talk.
It was Fan Hua's first time to sit on the crossbeam of a car. Although she was a little scared, she felt more of a sense of novelty.
After seeing Fan Hua sitting down, Zhao Yilu straddled the bicycle with his long legs and started riding with his arms around her.
Zhao Yilu said as he rode, "My application for marriage leave from the army has been approved. I can take half a month off for the New Year. Then I'll take you and the kids back to Beijing and we'll have the wedding!"
After he finished speaking, he looked at Fan Hua, who was listening attentively, and paused before continuing, "Our battalion commander recommended me to be the deputy company commander of the second company a few days ago. We'll know the result in a few days. If everything goes well, you and the children can come and join the army after the New Year. It's not a good idea to always rent Aunt Jiang's house. After all, it's a reported family building. If someone really reports us..."
Fan Hua nodded before Zhao Yilu finished speaking, "Okay, I have no objection!"
Zhao Yilu didn't expect Fan Hua to agree so readily. He thought she would be reluctant to leave the staff housing complex on Wusi Road.
The two of them came to the shopping mall while chatting. After walking around the mall, they found that the thickest clothes were wool sweaters and tweed coats. In fact, the winter in Guangzhou is very warm, so you can't wear too thick clothes.
Fan Hua was helpless. In the end, she picked out a woolen sweater for herself and Zhao Yilu respectively, and also chose a very capable leather jacket for Zhao Yilu. As for the two children, she really didn't see anything she liked. She decided to buy some cotton and go back to make little flowered jackets for them herself!
However, in the fabric area, she saw a red fabric that she particularly liked. Thinking that she and her sister Ailing would hold a banquet during the Chinese New Year, Fan Hua immediately took out all the fabric coupons she had bought from the black market and bought more than ten feet of this fabric.
Zhao Yilu looked at the dazzling red color and instantly understood what Fan Hua was going to use the material for, with a hint of anticipation in his eyes.
I haven’t seen Fan Hua wearing red yet. It should be more gorgeous and beautiful than the yellow one she has now!
After Zhao took Fan Hua shopping, he sent Fan Hua back to the staff dormitory building. He quickly met the brother and sister Xiao and prepared to return to the army.
However, when Xiaoxiao and his sister saw that he was leaving, they immediately burst into tears together, especially Xiaoxiao, who kept crying "Daddy, Daddy..." The crying would make anyone feel heartbroken.
Fan Hua and Aunt Chu quickly picked up one of them and coaxed them, "Xiaoxiao, don't cry, Xiaoxiao, don't cry. Daddy will be back in a few days, and then he'll be able to spend many days with us! Be good, don't cry. Daddy's outings are limited in time. If you don't come back soon, you'll be late, and then you'll get spanked..."
Fan Hua coaxed softly... Zhao Yilu looked at the mother and her two children with complicated eyes. He now only hoped that he could be promoted smoothly this time. He really didn't want to be separated from the mother and her two children anymore!
Seeing that the two children's crying had calmed down, Fan Hua signaled Zhao Yilu to leave quickly and give her the rest.
