After dinner, Fan Hua went to the military family compound to get some daily necessities and moved directly into Fan Youcheng's new home. After all, it was close to the school and the garment factory, which was a lot more convenient.
In the following days, Fan Hua immersed herself in a fast-paced life, spinning like a top every day, with very few free moments.
In the blink of an eye, it was mid-April of the Gregorian calendar in 1981. Zhao Yilu's leg injury had basically healed, and he took Xiaoxiao and Xiaoxiao to Guangzhou. That day, Fan Hua drove her own car to the airport to pick up her husband and children.
Arriving at the airport, Fan Hua saw Zhao Yilu walking towards her with Yuyu and Xiaoxiao, and her mood instantly became extremely bright.
"How is Grandpa now? Is he in good condition?" Fan Hua asked with concern as soon as she saw Zhao Yilu.
"It's nothing. Recently, Lin Chao is preparing to help grandpa organize a personal art exhibition. Grandpa is preparing the works for the exhibition. Once he gets busy, he can't take care of being too sad." Zhao Yilu said in a relaxed tone.
"Yeah, then. When will you report to the special forces?" Fan Hua asked again.
"I have already reported to the military district before arriving in Guangzhou. I will report in five days."
Fan Hua nodded and looked at Zhao Yilu's legs again, "Are your legs really fully healed?"
"It's completely over. How about I dance 'White-Haired Girl' for you?" Zhao Yilu said with a smile in his eyes.
Fan Hua glanced at the people in the airport, pulled Xiaoxiao and Xiaoxiao over, raised her eyebrows and deliberately provoked them: "Hey, Captain Zhao, do a dance for us to see."
Seeing that Fan Hua was certain he wouldn't dance and looked ready to watch a show, Zhao Yilu smiled helplessly, put down his luggage, cleared his throat, and sang and danced confidently:
Other girls have flowers to wear
Your father and I don't have enough money to buy it
Pulled two red hair strings
I tied up Xier
Oh... tie it up
…
People passing by couldn't help but stop to watch. When they saw Zhao Yi Lu finished singing this part, they all applauded in good faith. Even Yu Yu and Xiao Xiao clapped and cheered excitedly!
Fan Hua couldn't bear to watch. She never expected that Zhao Yilu would actually sing and dance in public. She was so angry and ridiculous that she wanted to stick the words "I don't know him" on her body. With an embarrassed look on her face, she quickly pulled Yuyu and Xiaoxiao towards the exit.
When Zhao Yilu saw Fan Hua running away with the two children, he immediately picked up his bag and followed. He asked her with a smile on his face, looking for praise: "Wife, how was my dance just now? Now you should finally believe that my legs are completely healthy!"
Fan Hua snarled at him, "I think you've chosen the wrong profession. With your shamelessness, you shouldn't be in the Special Forces, you should be in the Art Troupe!"
Zhao Yilu didn't get angry after hearing what Fan Hua said. Instead, he leaned over to her and whispered, "You should join the Special Forces. Otherwise, there are too many female comrades in the art troupe. Aren't you afraid that someone will snatch me away?"
Fan Hua glared at him and said, "You're so frivolous!"
After leaving the airport, they drove home.
Along the way, the two of them were sharing with each other about their situations over the past two months. Even Yeye and Xiaoxiao would chime in from time to time, and they were obviously talking more than during the Chinese New Year.
"Wife, can you spare some time these days?" Zhao Yilu asked expectantly while driving.
"What's wrong? Why are you asking?" Fan Hua looked puzzled.
"I've always said I wanted to go to the beach with you, but something always kept me from doing it. Now that the weather is nice, I want to take you and the kids to the beach for a trip."
Fan Hua's eyes lit up immediately when she heard that. "Then I'll clear out this weekend. I just heard from my brother that he knows a friend who has a vacant house by the sea. I asked him to ask if we can stay there for a few days."
Zhao Yilu nodded in agreement, "I think it's okay."
"By the way, has Aunt Chu come?" Zhao Yilu asked again.
"I thought you hadn't reported back in the past few days, so I didn't rush to ask her to come over..."
Before Fan Hua could finish, Zhao Yilu said aggrievedly, "Let her come over. Don't you miss me?"
Fan Hua was instantly choked. Do you want to? Of course I do!
After being asked this by Zhao Yilu, Fan Hua also felt that her arrangement was not right, and immediately whispered: "Then...then why don't we go to the Wusi Road family building to pick up Aunt Chu first, and then go to the military family compound?"
Zhao Yilu smiled and nodded: "I think it's okay!"
So they went around again and picked up Aunt Chu first, and then went to the military compound.
Aunt Chu has been smiling from ear to ear since she saw the two children. She kept saying that Yuyu and Xiaoxiao have grown a lot taller. She hasn't seen the two children for several months and she missed them so much.
Fan Hua smiled and handed the two children to Aunt Chu: "Aunt Chu, you think so because you haven't seen them for a long time. After spending a few days with them, you will definitely find them noisy. They are grown up now, and they keep asking why all the time. They are simply asking us a hundred thousand whys!"
"Hahaha, no matter how noisy they are, I still like them. I've raised them since they were little, and I really miss them when I can't see them for a few days!"
Fan Hua smiled with relief. Aunt Chu had spent even more time with her children than she, the mother, had. They must have a deep bond, wasn't she? It was an honor for her and her two children to have someone as kind as Aunt Chu to help look after them.
"Then you just stay and play with them. I'll go to the kitchen with you to cook." Fan Hua said with a smile, and then went to the kitchen to help Zhao Yilu cook.
Zhao Yilu prepared the ingredients in an orderly manner. The light from the small kitchen window was shining on the side of his face. The well-defined lines appeared particularly firm and soft under the contrast of light and shadow.
Maybe it has been a while since I had my hair cut, so the slightly long hair was coated with a layer of light golden color by the sun, and it was a little messy, but it added a bit of casualness and naturalness.
Fan Hua stood aside, looking at Zhao Yilu quietly, a warm feeling welling up in her heart.
She gently stepped forward and put her arms around Zhao Yilu's waist from behind, jokingly saying, "You look so serious, you seem like you're carrying out some important military mission."
Zhao Yilu tilted his head and smiled at her, "Cooking for my wife and children is an important task, isn't it?"
After saying that, he didn't forget to give Fan Hua a quick kiss on the lips, "Be good, I'll cook, and then I'll hold you in the evening."
It had been a long time since Fan Hua had been teased like this by Zhao Yilu. Her cheeks turned red. She knew very well that it would not be just a simple hug that night, but that they would definitely have to have an in-depth communication.
