Zhao Yilu nodded, wrapped Fan Hua's scarf tighter, picked up the sled and pulled Fan Hua towards the shore.
After leaving Nanhai Park, the two came to Houmen Street.
Since the second half of this year, the country has begun to encourage individual industrial and commercial households to operate. Now that the Chinese New Year is approaching, there are many merchants setting up stalls on both sides of Houmen Street. In addition, the people have been suppressed so badly in the past ten years that they all want to come out and join in the fun, so there are a lot of people on the street today.
The two of them went shopping along the way, buying a lot of food, toys, New Year's goods... Nearing the evening, the two of them, who had been out and about all day, finally returned home carrying large and small bags of things.
If you exclude the fall in the snow, today's date was really a perfect one!
As soon as they entered the yard, they noticed that the atmosphere seemed a little strange because some unfamiliar voices were coming from the house.
The two looked at each other, put their things in the side room where they lived, and then entered the main hall...
The two were stunned for a moment when they saw the people sitting in the living room. They were Yuan Ke's father Fan Daqiang, mother Zhang Huifang, eldest brother Fan Youcai and second brother Fan Youfu!
Zhao Yilu knew several of them because they had met each other when they were sent to the countryside as educated youth, and Fan Hua was able to recognize them because she was deeply impressed by the scene in her dream where Fan Daqiang got Zhao Yilu drunk. Based on the description in the book, she easily deduced the identities of the other people.
Zhao Yilu was the first to come to his senses. He called out to them as he had been called when he was working as an educated youth: "Uncle Fan, Aunt Zhang..."
But Fan Hua couldn't open his mouth at all. After all, he was not the original one, and it was difficult for him to call strangers "Dad and Mom"!
He just asked calmly, "How did you find this place?"
When Zhang Huifang saw the two of them, she immediately came up to them with tears in her eyes. Her second brother Fan Youfu, who was standing behind Zhang Huifang, also had excited expressions on her faces.
Zhang Huifang held Fan Hua's hand and said affectionately, "Oh, my dear Lihua, mother finally found you. For over a year, your parents and brother have been so worried. How could you leave without a word? You didn't even bother to send a message home! If that young widow's mother hadn't come back yesterday to tell us you were in Beijing, we wouldn't have been able to see you until now!"
Seeing this, Fan Daqiang and his elder brother Fan Youcai immediately came forward in a proper manner and pretended to be sad.
Fan Hua immediately figured out what was going on. It must be that Wang Chunhua, Ai Ling's mother, told Fan Daqiang and the others about seeing her when she returned home yesterday, so they came to find her today after hearing the news.
Fortunately, he came today, otherwise if he had come at the wedding banquet tomorrow, he would have been a laughing stock!
Fan Hua sneered and pulled her hand away from Zhang Guifang. "Don't you know why I left without saying a word?"
The eldest brother, Fan Youcai, frowned and scolded, "Lihua, how dare you talk to our mother like that?"
Zhang Huifang's expression also changed. She hid the embarrassment in her eyes. Why did she feel that her daughter was different from before? In the past, Fan Lihua would not dare to question her like this.
