After leaving Yuanshan Village, Zhao Yilu asked Fan Hua, "Wife, where are we going next? Are we going to visit my mother-in-law?"
Fan Hua held the steering wheel in silence for a moment before shaking her head. "No, my mom is a city girl. She's had a good life since she was a child. There's nothing to worry about. Let's go back to Ji'nan first and ask the Ji'nan Military Region if they can help get a wheelchair ticket. If they can, we'll buy you a wheelchair first. If not, we'll bring you back to Beijing tomorrow!"
"Actually, my leg injury is fine now. I can just buy a cane and don't need a wheelchair anymore," Zhao Yilu said.
"How can that be? The bullet injured a bone, and it takes a day to heal. The doctor said it's best not to move for the first month, and then you can move slowly after a month. You must listen to me on this matter!"
Fan Hua continued, "If we hadn't brought our industrial coupons with us when we went out, we wouldn't have been able to buy a wheelchair even if we had money. We would have bought one for Great Grandpa when we got to the county town."
Seeing that Fan Hua was so insistent, Zhao Yilu could only let her do what she wanted. After all, it was not worth making Fan Hua angry over such a small matter.
As the car drove along, Zhao Yilu saw that Fan Hua was in a bad mood today, and he couldn't help but want to tell her a joke. Zhao Yilu cleared his throat and said, "Wife, let me tell you a story!"
"Hmm..." Fan Hua raised her eyebrows, looking like she was listening attentively.
"Once upon a time, there was a man who was hunting. He shot a gun but hit nothing and his hat fell off. Can you guess why?"
Fan Hua raised the corner of her mouth slightly and asked in agreement, "Why?"
Zhao Yilu laughed and said, "Because his gun barrel is too long, haha."
Fan Hua laughed out loud at the joke. She felt that Zhao Yilu himself was funnier than the joke.
The two chatted and laughed until they reached Ji'an before it was completely dark. After Fan Hua parked the car, she helped Zhao Yilu into the military district office.
Seeing their enthusiasm and after listening to their needs, the receptionist regretfully explained that wheelchair tickets were currently in short supply and might not be available immediately. However, they did have a skilled carpenter at the military headquarters who could help them make a simple wheelchair, which would be nearly ready within the next day.
Fan Hua thought about it and nodded, then she would take another day off.
Seeing that they agreed, the receptionist at the military headquarters immediately called the military headquarters to arrange for the wheelchair, and at the same time informed the military headquarters that Zhao Yilu and his men would stay at the military headquarters for another day tomorrow.
So the next day, when the two of them were having breakfast, the military district sent someone to pick up Zhao Yilu and wanted to invite him to give a military lecture in the military district. Zhao Yilu agreed without hesitation. After all, he had been staying in someone else's guesthouse and using their car for the past few days, so he had to repay the favor.
When the Jilin Military Region saw that Zhao Yilu had agreed, they immediately sent someone back to gather everyone in the auditorium.
Soldiers need motivational education even more. The leaders of the military region are very clear that outsiders can chant more scriptures. They always listen to the speeches of the leaders of their own military region. The group of monkeys below don’t say anything on the surface, but in fact they must have been tired of it a long time ago.
Therefore, when the leaders of the Ji'nan Military Region heard that Zhao Yilu had come to Ji'nan, they wanted him to come to the military region to motivate their own guys. After all, there are not many people in the country who have won several first-class and second-class merits at the age of ten and have also become the deputy commander of the special forces. He is definitely an inspiration!
Fan Hua was also invited to go along.
Sitting in the auditorium, Fan Hua listened attentively to Zhao Yilu sharing some of his deeds and experiences in front-line combat in lively and humorous language. In the past, Zhao Yilu always liked to report good news but not bad news in order not to make her worry. Today, it was a rare opportunity to hear him talk about these things seriously. Those thrilling experiences seemed like vivid pictures unfolding before everyone's eyes.
The soldiers were a little distracted at first, but as Zhao Yilu continued his story, their eyes lit up and they sat up straight unconsciously.
The auditorium was extremely quiet. The soldiers were immersed in Zhao Yilu's narration, their eyes full of admiration and fighting spirit.
Fan Hua was arranged to sit on the edge of the first row. She looked at Zhao Yilu, who was full of vigor and vitality on the stage, and her heart was filled with pride and emotion. Her man was really outstanding and was born to be a soldier king!
After the lecture, the soldiers burst into thunderous applause.
Zhao Yilu smiled and bowed to everyone to express his gratitude. Then, the military district leaders came to the stage to thank Zhao Yilu and presented him with a special gift - an exquisite saber, a symbol of bravery and honor.
After expressing his gratitude, Zhao Yilu waved to Fan Hua who was sitting in the corner of the first row. Fan Hua thought Zhao Yilu was going to leave the stage after his speech and wanted her to come forward to support him, so she quickly went up to the podium.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Yilu handed the saber to Fan Hua and said with immense pride, "My lover deserves half of all my military achievements. Thank you to the Jilin Military Region for this beautiful gift today. This saber is so beautiful, and I want to give it to my lover. Without her support, I wouldn't be who I am today."
Fan Hua was stunned. She really didn't expect Zhao to show off their affection all the way to the military region of another province. It made her, who was always thick-skinned, feel a little embarrassed!
The soldiers in the audience applauded and cheered in good faith. Fan Hua smiled and waved to everyone, then blushed and helped Zhao Yilu slowly walk down the stage.
