When passing by the newsstand, the two of them even said hello to Aunt Sun. Zhao Yilu left Aunt Sun a portion of walnut cakes that he had bought from a nearby supply chain.
The happy Aunt Sun praised Zhao Yilu as a good boy and praised Fan Hua for her good taste!
After sending Fan Hua home, Zhao Yilu checked the time. It was almost five o'clock...
He looked at Fan Hua with reluctance, "Lihua, I should get ready to go back~"
"Hmm~" Fan Hua hummed softly.
"Take good care of yourself and eat more! Don't get too tired! I'll call you every week from now on, so remember to tell me if you have any problems!"
"Hmm~" Fan Hua continued to respond, and she felt like laughing when she saw him giving such nagging instructions.
Zhao Yilu couldn't help but raise his hand and gently tuck the loose hair on Fan Hua's forehead behind her ear, saying softly, "Then I'm really leaving, Lihua. I can't always be with you right now. I'm sorry for your hard work. If I can take a leave during the New Year, I will definitely come to see you!"
Fan Hua nodded and did not refuse this time. If he really came during the New Year, she would tell him about her pregnancy. She would let him know sooner or later anyway.
Zhao Yilu resisted the urge to hug Fan Hua and gave her a standard military salute, which was a sign of respect and a promise!
The military salute was completed, and Zhao Yilu turned and left...
Fan Hua watched Zhao Yilu leave with a pang of sadness in her heart. Even after Zhao Yilu went downstairs, Fan Hua still clung to the railing of the corridor and watched him...
Zhao Yilu showed his eight big white teeth to Fan Hua upstairs, waved and smiled, and shouted loudly: "Lihua, go back, I'm going to take the bus!"
After saying that, he turned and ran towards the bus stop.
This young man, on an autumn afternoon, came like the wind and left like the wind...
The feeling of reluctance filled Fan Hua's heart. She comforted herself that Zhao Yilu was not hers, but the country's. He was going to defend the country. She should be proud of him!
But I really can’t bear to let go!
I look forward to seeing him earlier next time and spending more time with him!
…
The days passed smoothly, and in the blink of an eye, it was mid-February on the Gregorian calendar, the end of the twelfth lunar month. Fan Hua, now seven months pregnant, had a noticeable belly, and her feet were barely visible when she stood. It was only now that the weather was cold, so she had to wear thicker clothes, and with the loose-fitting clothes Fan Hua had designed for herself, that her belly looked less bulging.
Since being discharged from the hospital last time, Fan Hua and Geng Ailing, who have some family background, have only visited the black market occasionally, and they mainly do business with repeat customers and referral customers.
The two of them read and study in the morning and make clothes in the afternoon. Sometimes Fan Hua would take some translation work from Su Wen, and Geng Ailing would go to play with Niannian whenever she had time. If she did it to repay Director Xie's favor at the beginning, now she really likes little Niannian and has developed feelings for her.
It can be said that the two of them have lived a rich and fulfilling life in the past few months, and both their savings and their condition are very good!
Especially Geng Ailing, after living with Fan Hua for a few months, she is completely different from before. Not only has she become much prettier, but her temperament has also become much more confident!
"Sister Ailing, come quickly. These two little guys seem to be fighting in my belly. I just touched their little feet!" Fan Hua lazily lay on the sofa and called Geng Ailing.
Geng Ailing hurried out of the kitchen, wiped her hands, and excitedly touched Fan Hua's belly.
"Lihua, do you think these two babies in your belly are boys or girls?"
"A boy and a girl!" Fan Hua said with certainty.
"How can you be so sure? It could be two boys or two girls!"
"I had a dream about my pregnancy. I dreamed of a small black snake with a colorful butterfly on it. The little black snake and the butterfly were having a lot of fun playing together. I heard that if you dream of a black snake during pregnancy, it means a boy, and if you dream of a colorful butterfly, it means a girl, so I should be carrying twins!"
Although Fan Hua knew that the original owner had a boy and a girl, she had actually had this dream not long ago.
"Yes, yes, yes. I've also heard that dreams about pregnancy are very accurate! Then you are so lucky to have both a son and a daughter at once!"
