The brother and sister took the book and looked at it carefully for a moment. Although they were both elementary school students, the book was written very straightforwardly and clearly, so they could still understand it.
After reading it, Lin Chao and his sister looked at each other before saying seriously, "Sister, don't worry. You are my sister's savior, and I also know that you gave us this job because you want to help us. We will definitely take good care of the two elderly people and treat them as our own grandparents. We will never do anything to harm them!"
Fan Hua nodded when he said that, took out a pen from her bag, asked the brother and sister to sign, and then smeared lipstick on their fingers and asked them to press their fingerprints on their names. She had already signed and pressed her fingerprints on the position of Party A before coming here.
The contract was in duplicate. She gave one copy to the brother and sister and put the other in her bag before saying, "You two should stay in the hospital and recover. I'll leave you an address. We're expected to officially move in about ten days. When the time comes, just find me at the address."
Both the brother and sister nodded.
After Fan Hua had settled her affairs, she did not stay any longer and followed Zhao out of the hospital. Zhao held her hand tightly all the way.
"Thank you, daughter-in-law! Thank you for thinking so carefully about grandpa and grandpa! You have done so much for them!" Zhao Yilu said solemnly.
"What are you thanking me for? They're my grandparents too, so shouldn't I be nice to them? Besides, they're truly the best grandparents, and they've been even better to me."
Fan Hua chuckled and shook the imperial green bracelet on her wrist for Zhao Yilu to see.
Zhao Yilu said nothing and held Fan Hua's hand even tighter. At this moment, he just felt that being able to marry Fan Hua was a blessing that he had accumulated over several lifetimes.
Fan Huahui held Zhao Yilu's hand, interlocking their fingers. "Yilu, let's keep working hard and strive to get you transferred to Beijing within five years. I'll also make my mark in Beijing. Grandpa, grandma, grandpa, and grandpa are getting older, and we'll be the only ones they can rely on in the future!"
Zhao Yilu nodded silently and silently set a five-year plan for himself in his mind...
On the third day of the first lunar month, Fan Hua and her friends were preparing to return to Guangzhou. Starting from the day before, Wang Guifen began to pack various foods for them.
She knew Fan Hua loved her pickled sour and crispy radish and wanted to fill a huge jar with it. In the end, Fan Hua and Zhao Yilu intervened, saying that if she wanted to eat it later, she could call home or they could mail it to her. Only then did Wang Guifen give in.
When the young couple left, they still had an extra large bag than when they arrived!
Inside, there were easy-to-store snacks like sour and crispy radish, meat sauce, fried dough twists, rice cakes, and Chinese sausages that Wang Guifang had prepared, as well as fine rice paste specially fried for the two children...
Ho Ching-hsiang made toys for his two children out of wood, including pistols, machine guns, bayonets, slingshots, and more.
There were the four treasures of the study that Zhao Xubai gave Fan Hua and the picture book of Sun Wukong wreaking havoc in Heaven that he personally drew for the children...
Sun Simin made tiger-head shoes and hats for the two children, and red bellybands for them to wear when they turned one. She also made insoles for Fan Hua and Zhao Yilu...
And He Siyan quietly bought educational toys such as Luban Lock and Nine Links for his two children!
A big bag full of the most simple and sincere love from relatives!
Looking at these things, Fan Hua couldn't help but have tears in her eyes. Although they had only been together for less than ten days, this kind of selfless love had already made Fan Hua regard them as her closest family.
She walked forward and gently hugged Wang Guifen and Sun Simin, choking with sobs as she said, "Grandpa, grandma, grandpa, you all have to take good care of yourselves. Don't get sick, don't get old anymore. Yilu and I will come back to see you when we have another day off!"
Wang Guifen and Sun Simin had been reluctant to part with these children since they were young. After hearing what Fan Hua said, they could not hold back any longer and immediately turned their backs to wipe away their tears secretly.
Even He Zhengxiang and Zhao Xubai's eyes were red. They were both almost seventy years old, and they didn't know how many times they would get to see these children again in their lifetime...
Although I am reluctant to let them go far away, children must fly freely when they grow up. We cannot break their wings and let them stay by their side all the time.
Zhao Yilu was also feeling very uncomfortable. He gently wiped the tears from Fan Hua's eyes, put his arm around her shoulders, and said in a deep voice, "Hurry up, or you'll miss the train!"
After he finished speaking, he waved to the four elderly people and said, "Grandpa, grandma, grandpa, I'm taking Fan Hua and the children to take the train. Please take care of yourselves!"
He Zhengxiang held back his tears and urged, "Hurry up, don't dawdle!"
Zhao Yilu then embraced Fan Hua and turned to leave...
Several old people just stood at the entrance of the alley and watched them go farther and farther away, until the figures of Fan Hua and others completely disappeared from sight.
…
