Everyone enjoyed the meal very happily. Before leaving, Commander Lu Haifeng smiled and said to Fan Xi, "Comrade Fan, thank you for your hospitality today. Your cooking skills are really good. I may come to dine with you again in the future! Xiao Zhao is a good boy. You two should live a good life. If you encounter any difficulties, please let me know directly!"
Fan Xi smiled and thanked the chief. After seeing the guests off, he went back to the house feeling a little tired and prepared to clear the table.
Zhao Yilu immediately carried Fan Xi to sit on a stool and said with a hint of alcohol, "Don't move! Wife, you've been busy all night. Sit here and rest. I'll clean up the rest!"
After saying that, Zhao Yilu put on an apron and started to clean up the dishes.
Looking at the 1.8-meter-tall Zhao Yilu, who was wearing a pink apron like a large bellyband, Fan Xi couldn't help but curl the corners of his lips, feeling sweet in his heart.
While Zhao Yilu was cleaning up, he asked caringly, "Wife, did you eat anything just now?"
"Well, I ate a bowl of noodles in the kitchen. The children and Aunt Chu also ate. Don't worry!"
Zhao Yilu finally felt relieved after hearing this. "The food you cooked today was really delicious. It really made me proud. But you worked so hard. You made so many delicious dishes, but you haven't eaten them yourself. I'll buy some meat tomorrow and cook for you!"
"Who said I didn't get to eat? I've tried every dish, so I was the first to get to eat. As long as you're satisfied with the food, that's fine. I think Chief Lu thinks highly of you, so you should be happy with today's meal!" Fan Xi said with a chuckle.
"My former Guicheng Regiment Commander, Gu Chengqi, had a good relationship with Commander Lu. I was able to be transferred to Yangcheng thanks to Commander Gu's help. I guess Commander Gu praised me to Commander Lu, so Commander Lu has been paying close attention to me since I was transferred here."
"No wonder! What kind of person is Wang Yingjie, the company commander of the third company? He looks quite smart." Fan Xi asked casually.
"He is indeed very smart. He is only two years older than me and just turned 23 this year. He has been promoted quite quickly, which shows that he is very capable!" Zhao Yilu was wiping the table while chatting with Fan Xi.
Fan Xi was a little surprised. "So young? Is he married?"
"Not yet." Zhao Yilu answered simply.
"What about Captain Jiang? He seems quite gentle. What's his wife like? Have you met her?"
Fan Xi was actually more curious about the wives of these people. After all, he would be dealing with these military wives the most in the military family compound, so he wanted to learn more about them.
"You saw her at noon when we just moved in. She was the one standing in front and talking. That's another sister-in-law, Zhang Jihong. I've eaten at Captain Gu's house twice. Sister-in-law Zhang seems quite welcoming. She has two sons. The eldest is eight years old, and the second is one and a half. He's a little older than Xiaoxiao and Xiaoxiao. Maybe he can play with Xiaoxiao and Xiaoxiao in the future."
After Zhao Yilu mentioned this, Fan Xi felt a little confused. It was just that she had just arrived here and had seen too many unfamiliar faces. She felt a little confused and couldn't remember clearly. She thought that she would gradually become familiar with them after spending more time with them.
At this time, Aunt Chu also came out of the bedroom and said with a smile: "These two children seem to be easier to take care of after their trip to Beijing. They fell asleep in a short while."
"That's for sure, Aunt Chu, you don't know, but these past ten days in Beijing, these two children haven't slept with me for a single night. It was all taken care of by their great-grandmother and great-grandmother."
Aunt Chu nodded. "No wonder. From now on, let them sleep with me. That way, you'll have more energy to train and study during the day."
Fan Xi had no objection, "I'll have to trouble Aunt Chu from now on!"
This was her original plan. Although she was reluctant to leave her two children and always felt not close enough to them, after the winter vacation, she would often have to work overtime to draw picture books, and Zhao Yilu would also have to train. Letting the two children sleep with Aunt Chu was the best option.
She believed that after moving to the military family compound, the two children would be able to see their parents every day. Even if they didn't sleep with their parents, they would feel safe and grow up healthily.
"It's not hard. These two kids are easy to take care of and they don't make any noise. By the way, is there anything else you need help with? Let me do it. You're all tired after a day of work." Aunt Chu asked.
Zhao Yilu took off her apron and hung it on a nail in the kitchen, saying with a smile, "It's nothing, I've figured it all out. Aunt Chu, you should wash up and go to bed early!"
"Okay, okay!" After saying that, Aunt Chu smiled and took the toiletries that Fan Xi had specially prepared for her and went to the faucet in the yard to wash.
