Every time he trains, he pushes himself to the limit, and always gives himself a workout afterward. While others just train normally, he trains like crazy!
He cherished every opportunity to go on a mission, and always bravely moved forward even in the hail of bullets. He never missed any chance to make meritorious service, and with his outstanding performance and meritorious service, he was promoted to company commander in just one and a half years.
Zhang Weidong once teased him that he was a mad wolf, and his bravery alone made people both admire and feel sorry for him. But now he felt that it was really worth it, because he finally got the preferential treatment he wanted, which allowed Fan Xi and his children to accompany the army.
Thinking about being able to see Fan Xi every night after leaving camp, and often hearing Fan Xi gently whispering about family matters in his ear, Zhao Yilu couldn't help but curl his lips...
Fan Xi seemed to notice that he was lost in thought and nudged him gently, "What are you thinking about? You're so absorbed."
Zhao Yilu came back to his senses and said with a smile, "Nothing, I just feel that the days ahead will definitely be warm and cozy."
Fan Xi also smiled. Seeing Zhao Yilu's face was a little gloomy from cleaning the house, he took out a handkerchief and stood on tiptoe to help him wipe it. "Let's go. We're almost done cleaning up for today. Let's go home. I miss Xiaoxiao and Xiaoxiao."
The two walked out of the yard hand in hand. As soon as they left the yard, they saw a tall, square-faced, dark-skinned man who looked a bit simple and honest. Zhao Yilu nodded and greeted him in a friendly manner, "Brother Gang, are you just coming down from the camp?"
Company Commander Chen Zhigang stopped at the sound and looked at the man for a moment. When his gaze passed Fan Xi, a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then he smiled naively, "Yes, we just left the camp. When will you be back? You must have brought your sister-in-law to join the army. She's so beautiful. You're so lucky!"
Zhao Yilu smiled and nodded, holding Fan Xi's hand tighter. "I just got back to Guangzhou today. I came here to clean up first and officially move in tomorrow."
Zhao Xiaoyan, who happened to have just returned from the public toilet, heard her husband praising someone else's beauty. She immediately walked over with a bit of hostility on her face.
She stood next to her man, Chen Zhigang, and said sourly, "Oh, this is my sister-in-law. She's really pretty. I've heard that Xiao Zhao was promoted very quickly. I guess he works so hard on missions outside just to win the favor of beautiful women."
Although it sounded like a joke, the tone sounded a bit awkward. Chen Zhigang frowned and scolded in a low voice: "Xiaoyan, what nonsense are you talking about?"
Zhao Xiaoyan curled her lips, ignoring her man. She looked at her father-in-law, Fan Xi, and continued, "Sister, life in the army is not as comfortable as back home. You have to take care of everything on your own. Can you, a delicate girl like you, bear it?"
Before Fan Xi could speak, Zhao Yilu said calmly, "There's not much work in our house that my wife needs to do. I'm here so she won't get tired!"
Fan Xi was very happy to hear Zhao Yilu speak up for her, but she could handle the women's quarrels on her own, so she pulled Zhao Yilu's hand, but still had a gentle smile on her face, and said in an extremely sweet voice, "Sister-in-law, you're joking. From the day I married my family's Yilu as a military wife, I've been prepared to endure hardships. Besides, if I have any difficulties in the future, won't everyone in the family compound help me? I believe that the military wives in the compound are all warm and kind people. Seeing that I'm a newcomer, they will definitely help me a lot and won't make things difficult for me!"
Zhao Xiaoyan inexplicably felt that she was being hinted at. She had always disliked Fan Xi for her vixen-like appearance. Moreover, Zhao Yilu was now her man's biggest competitor and would compete with her man for the position of battalion commander in the future. It was impossible for her to be enthusiastic about Fan Xi!
She looked at Chen Zhigang who was standing stupidly beside her without saying a word to help her. She felt a little angry, snorted, and turned into her own yard.
Chen Zhigang smiled awkwardly at the others, "Don't take it personally. Your sister-in-law is just like that. She likes to talk nonsense, but she doesn't have any bad intentions."
Zhao Yilu hurriedly said, "Brother Gang, we are here, please go inside and rest."
After everyone left, Fan Xi sighed softly, "Looks like my life with the army will be a lot more exciting from now on!"
