"So soon?!" Jiang Wenli was a little surprised. "Tomorrow is the weekend and I'm not working. Come to my house and see me!"
"Hello, Aunt Jiang!"
After hanging up the phone, Fan Hua stared at the phone number on Jiang Wenli's phone for a while. That was the military phone number that Zhao Yilu left for her.
She remembered Zhao Yilu telling her on the train to call him after she was settled, otherwise he would be worried...
Fan Hua hesitated for a moment, then paid and left the newsstand.
Forget it, I'd better wait a few days to send the money back to him and then call him to remind him to pay attention to the collection! Fan Hua felt that Zhao Yilu must have said it casually at the time and would not really wait for her call. He is He Siyan's biological brother, and she can't have anything to do with him anymore.
What Fan Hua could not have imagined was that Zhao Yilu, who was undergoing regular military training, went to the office on his first day of enlistment and met Sun Xiang, the orderly in charge of the telephone. He also gave him the spare shoes he brought from home. Although Sun Xiang refused, Zhao Yilu finally forced them into his hands, and the two became familiar with each other.
Zhao Yilu repeatedly reminded Sun Xiang that if a girl named Fan Lihua called him, he must tell him.
Sun Xiang was a few years older than Zhao Yilu and had been in the army for several years. He smiled at him with the air of a seasoned veteran, reassuring him.
As soon as training was over today, he ran to the office to look for Sun Xiang again, "Brother Xiang, haven't you called me yet?"
"No, all the way. Otherwise, why don't you call back and ask?"
"I want to, too...but I don't have a phone number there..."
Zhao Yilu frowned tightly, a little worried about Fan Hua. Several days had passed, and that girl still hadn't settled down? I wondered if something had happened!
He debated whether to call home and ask his grandfather to use his connections to find someone. However, if he wanted his grandfather to find someone, he would have to tell him about his relationship with Fan Hua. Then, the Fan family's plot against him would be exposed, and his grandfather's impression of Fan Hua would also be soured.
Seeing Zhao Yilu's worried look, Sun Xiang comforted him, "Yilu, stop imagining things. Be patient and wait a little longer. Maybe he's busy and forgot. He'll remember to call you when he's free."
Zhao Yilu nodded. He felt that what Sun Xiang said made sense. After all, he had just arrived in a new place and must have a lot of things to do. He should wait a few days and see!
…
At breakfast the next day, Fan Hua asked while eating, "Sister Ai Ling, I promised Aunt Jiang that I would bring her some clothes today. Do you want to come with me?"
"Is it far?"
"It takes about 40 minutes to walk there. I plan to take the bus. Aunt Jiang told me how to take the bus yesterday."
Geng Ailing was very conflicted and replied, "We still have a lot of work left. I want to finish sewing all the cloth you cut out yesterday today, but I'm worried that you might get into danger if you go out alone."
"Hey, don't worry, it won't be dangerous for me to take the bus. I thought if you want to go out for a walk, you can come with me. If not, I'll take the bus and come back quickly."
"Okay, then you take care of yourself, I'll stay home and finish the work."
"Mom, don't be too anxious. Take a break if you're tired. We'll do it together when I come back. Don't worry, we can finish it." Fan Hua said with a smile.
After dinner, Fan Hua put on the dress she had made for herself a few days ago, took the clothes she was going to make for Jiang Wenli, and set off.
