Fan Hua listened quietly, watching Zhao Yilu earnestly explaining things to the soldiers, her heart filled with pride. She knew Zhao Yilu loved the army and his mission of defending his country, and that he had truly shone in this field, earning him the admiration of many.
An hour later, the car arrived at the reception arranged by the military district.
"Captain Zhao, sister-in-law, this is the accommodation arranged for you. It's already late today, so we won't disturb your rest. The canteen at the reception office has reserved some food for you, which will be delivered to your room later. If you have any needs, just let me know. I hope you can live comfortably these days." said a soldier.
Zhao Yilu and Fan Hua got out of the car and thanked the soldiers. "Sorry for the trouble, I'll borrow the car for now," Zhao Yilu said.
"It's no problem. We've learned a lot from Captain Zhao today. I hope that after Captain Zhao finishes his work, he can share some more combat experience with us."
Originally, after the military district learned that Zhao Yilu had injured his leg, they wanted them to take turns staying and serving as drivers for Zhao Yilu and Fan Hua. However, after learning that Fan Hua could drive and that an additional driver was not needed, they all had to leave in disappointment.
Zhao Yilu and Fan Hua entered the room and washed up briefly. Food was then served. While they ate, they discussed their next move.
"Tomorrow we will drive to An County's Yushan Village. I remember it's not too far from Ji City. We can get there in about two hours." Fan Hua said, relying on her childhood memories.
Zhao Yilu nodded, "Should we prepare something in advance?"
He was a little nervous about meeting his father-in-law, even though his father-in-law was only seven years old this year!
Fan Hua thought for a moment and said, "Then let's go to the supply and marketing cooperative tomorrow and buy some malted milk and peach cakes, and buy some White Rabbit candies for my dad. I think children all like candy."
After saying that, Fan Hua burst out laughing. "All the time, every time I think about my dad being only seven years old, I want to laugh. What do you think he should call you? Uncle, brother, or..."
A smile also appeared at the corners of Zhao Yilu's eyes. "I dare not take advantage of Master Yue. I'd rather call him his uncle, saying that he is older than me."
Fan Hua couldn't help but burst into laughter and looked forward to tomorrow's meeting even more.
The two finished their meal while chatting. Fan Hua simply washed herself and Zhao Yilu, then got dressed and went to bed. Since they were going out, nothing would be convenient, so there was no need to be so particular.
After turning off the lights, Fan Hua rested her head on Zhao Yilu's arm and told him more stories about her biological father, Fan Mingqi, especially his inspiring story of how he went from a small mountain village to a university and finally settled in a big city.
Zhao Yilu hugged Fan Hua and listened attentively.
Finally, Fan Hua fell into a deep sleep with her mind full of anticipation of meeting her family...
There was an inextricable worry in Zhao Yilu's eyes. If he could really meet Yue Xu tomorrow, then after Fan Hua was born in 1999, would the same world be able to allow two Fan Huas?
