Chapter 25

“Little boy, do you know this person?” Geng Ailing, who had already stood up and walked to the door, rushed back and asked.

Xie Yongliang and Fan Hua also looked at Nian Nian seriously, waiting for her answer.

Niannian was a little frightened by the sudden seriousness of the adults, but still said honestly: “The man in the portrait is my classmate Yueyue’s brother. I saw him come to school to pick up Yueyue.”

Fan Hua and Geng Ailing looked at each other, both of them were filled with excitement. They didn’t expect to get a clue so soon.

“Comrade from Public Security, it seems that the thief is Yueyue’s brother. You must help catch him!” Geng Ailing said excitedly.

Xie Yongliang’s eyes were no longer careless. He nodded seriously and said, “Don’t worry, I will definitely help you get your money back. You can go home and wait for news!”

“Okay, okay, thank you, Public Security Comrade, you are such a good person!” Geng Ailing bowed to Xie Yongliang while thanking him.

Xie Yongliang felt a little embarrassed. This female comrade was so enthusiastic. If she hadn’t had difficulty walking, she would have helped her up long ago.

On the way back, both of them were in a good mood, especially Geng Ailing. After knowing that the money could be recovered, she felt relieved and pulled Fan Huazhi to say that it was a good thing that she came to report the case.

Fan Hua just smiled without saying a word, listening to Geng Ailing chattering along.

She never thought much of a hundred yuan, even in the 1970s when money was very taboo. But seeing Geng Ailing so happy because she got her money back, she felt good too.

But she was more puzzled as to whether there was any major case in Yangcheng today? Why was there only one police officer with a broken leg in the entire police station? It was not normal…

Fan Hua couldn’t figure it out so she stopped thinking about it. After all this trouble, they were both hungry, so they had lunch at the state-owned restaurant downstairs before going home.

Just a while after they got home, a craftsman delivered their newly bought sewing machine. After seeing the new sewing machine, Geng Ailing finally forgot about losing the money.

“Lihua, I didn’t expect that we would buy a second sewing machine so soon. It’s like a dream.”

Fan Hua smiled and said, “Sister Ai Ling, this is just the beginning. We will buy bicycles, fans, refrigerators, TVs, washing machines in the future…”

In short, good days are yet to come! “

If Geng Ailing heard Fan Hua say this in the past, she would definitely think that she was bragging, but not now. She felt that what Fan Hua said would definitely come true.

“No, I’m full of energy right now. Lihua, please arrange the fabrics and leave the rest of the sewing work to me! I really don’t want to rest for a moment!”

As expected, ambitious women will shine. Fan Hua feels that Geng Ailing’s current state is completely different from when they first met. Although only a few days have passed, she feels that Geng Ailing is not only more beautiful now, but her whole spirit and energy is particularly great!

It was completely different from the fragmented Geng Ailing in the dream, and Fan Hua felt very comforted at this moment.

“Okay, okay, Sister Ailing, come over and help me make the pattern and cut the cloth. Follow me and learn. After a while, you will be able to do it on your own!”

“no problem!”

“By the way, we bought a lot of cloth today, Sister Ailing, and we can make more kinds of clothes. I want to design another set of clothes for Aunt Jiang. Let’s send two sets to her directly. There will always be one that she likes. If it weren’t for her, we really wouldn’t be able to gain a foothold here so quickly.”

“Yeah, that’s right. Then we’ll do it for her first and send it to her as soon as we’re done.”

That afternoon, the two of them made the clothes for Jiang Wenli. Fan Hua took a small notebook specially used to copy phone numbers and went to the newsstand downstairs to make a call.

After the call was connected, Jiang Wenli’s voice was heard.

“May I ask who you are?”

“Hello, Aunt Jiang, I’m Fan Lihua~” In order to avoid trouble, Fan Hua simply called herself Fan Lihua when introducing herself. Fortunately, her name and the original owner’s name only differed by one character, so she could get used to it.

Jiang Wenli was stunned for a moment, thinking that Fan Hua called to ask for help, so she asked, “Lihua, how have you been recently? Are you adapting? Is there anything I can help you with?”

“Thank you Aunt Jiang for your concern. We have adapted well. I called you this time to tell you that the clothes I promised to design for you last time are ready. I wanted to ask when you are free so that I can send them to you and let you know if you like them.”
