Upon hearing this, Fan Hua immediately opened the gate and saw the enthusiastic wife of the Third Battalion Commander, Ye Xiulan, and the embarrassed Zhou Xue.
As expected, Fan Hua was right. Zhou Xue was the girl with two pigtails who hid behind the crowd with malicious eyes on the first day they arrived at the family compound.
Fan Hua first greeted Ye Xiulan with a smile, "Sister Ye, how come you have time to come here?"
"Hi, I like to weave small baskets in my free time. Almost every other family in the compound has a small basket I gave them. I thought since you just moved in, you'll inevitably need to go out and buy things, so having a small basket would be more convenient, so I made one for you too. It's just a simple one I made myself, so my craftsmanship is a bit rough. Sister Fan, please don't despise it!"
Fan Hua hurriedly took the small basket from Ye Xiulan's hand with gratitude. It was a small basket woven with bamboo strips using local materials. Although the shape was simple, it looked very practical. This was an authentic traditional craft!
So he immediately smiled and said, "Thank you so much, Sister Ye. This little basket is so beautifully woven. Our family is in need of such a basket! Your craftsmanship is really amazing!"
Ye Xiulan smiled and waved her hand, "If you don't mind, then so be it. That's all I love about you. Whenever I have free time, I want to make them up. My house is full of them!"
When Fan Hua heard what Ye Xiulan said, she immediately came up with the idea of helping Ye Xiulan sell the baskets, but now was not the time to talk about this. In addition, Zhao Yilu's love interest Zhou Xue was standing next to her, so she could only find an opportunity to have another chat with Ye Xiulan!
Fan Hua smiled and turned around, pretending not to know Zhou Xue and asked doubtfully, "Who is this?"
Zhou Xue had wanted to turn around and leave a while ago, but she was always proud and felt that if she left secretly, Fan Hua would look down on her.
She hadn't done anything shameful, so she decided to stay and meet Fan Hua to see what abilities this vixen possessed to seduce Captain Zhao!
Before Zhou Xue could speak, Ye Xiulan introduced her enthusiastically: "This is Zhou Xue, the daughter of Political Commissar Zhou. She is an art soldier in our regiment and very talented!"
After saying that, he turned to look at Zhou Xue with a smile and asked, "Sister Zhou Xue, when I came here, I saw you standing at the door... What do you want to do with Sister Fan?"
In fact, Ye Xiulan wanted to say that she had been standing at the door and peeking through the crack, but she didn't say it directly because she was afraid of offending Zhou Xue.
Zhou Xue was just about to feel proud that Ye Xiulan praised her talent, but was embarrassed when Ye Xiulan said that she had been standing at the door.
"Uh... nothing much. I just heard there was a girl about my age coming to the hospital, and I thought I'd meet her. When I got to the door, I heard them rehearsing a program, so I didn't go in to disturb them."
Fan Hua sneered inwardly. He called her "sister" without even confirming her age. He thought she was old, so why didn't he just call her "sister-in-law"? How rude! I guess he's been peeking through the crack in the door for a while. He must be hoping to see what they're performing at the Lantern Festival Gala!
Fan Hua immediately joked, "Big sister, you're here too. Why don't you come in? What are you standing at the door for? There's no monster in my house. Are they going to eat you?"
Zhou Xue's expression changed slightly, but she quickly returned to normal. She said coquettishly, "Sister, what you said is true. I just didn't want to be abrupt!"
As the daughter-in-law of Zhao Yilu's direct supervisor, Zhang Jihong knew something about Fan Hua's age and couldn't help but ask, "If I remember correctly, Miss Fan seems to have just turned 20, a little younger than Miss Zhou Xue."
Fan Hua nodded, "Yes, I'll be twenty next month."
