"Xiaoyu, it's your brother, what's wrong?"
Qiao Feng was somewhat surprised, as he knew Lin Yu was currently managing the food factory and was very busy.
So they rarely make phone calls unless there's a specific reason.
We only really keep in touch during important holidays and around the anniversary of my grandparents' death each year.
After going through a series of questions, Lin Yu finally heard Qiao Feng's voice.
"Brother, I need to talk to you."
Qiao Feng asked anxiously, "What's wrong? Did someone bully you?"
Lin Yu realized he had misunderstood and quickly said, "No, no, I wanted to tell you something. Is there anyone else with you?"
Qiao Feng glanced behind him; Zhang Tuan and the others were still hiding there eavesdropping.
"Wait a moment."
After putting down the microphone, Qiao Feng walked over and said, "Everyone, get out."
"No, Comrade Qiao Feng, we'd also like to get to know our sister."
Qiao Feng was even more displeased: "Get out, get out! What do you mean, 'get to know'? That's my sister. If you want, have your mother give birth to her."
Zhang Tuan and the others were speechless: Did they mean they wanted a younger sister?
However, despite their antics, they knew how to keep to themselves.
Knowing that the brother and sister wanted to have a private conversation, the group left.
Qiao Feng answered the phone again, and Lin Yu teased, "Deputy Regiment Commander Qiao is back."
He smiled helplessly and said, "Stop joking, let's get down to business."
Lin Yu's nonchalant attitude vanished: "Brother, do you still remember the things Grandpa and Grandma gave us?"
Qiao Feng certainly remembered that it was the dowry and money his grandparents gave to him and his siblings for their future wives.
Lin Yu had previously said that she had hidden them all, but Qiao Feng hadn't paid any attention to it.
"What's wrong?"
Lin Yu looked around and, seeing no one, whispered, "The storage space for those things is about to expire. We need to think of a solution."
Lin Yu made the decision to call Qiao Feng after careful consideration.
Qiao Feng is getting old and it's almost time for him to get married.
Lin Yu thought of giving the things to him so he could use them directly when he got married.
Qiao Feng is a soldier, so he must have a more discreet way of preserving those items.
It's better than her racking her brains alone and not finding a good solution.
On the other end, Qiao Feng understood what his sister meant.
I didn't feel troubled at all; on the contrary, I felt very gratified.
The younger sister used to be dependent on her older brother, but I don't know when it started, she became more and more independent.
No matter what, I no longer need my brother's help.
Although this was because she had grown up and become more sensible, it also caused the relationship between the siblings to become somewhat distant.
Now that Lin Yu is willing to tell him about her difficulties so they can solve them together, Qiao Feng is overjoyed.
"Those things are in Haicheng, right?"
"Yes." Lin Yu knew that Qiao Feng would guess that.
After all, without space, it would be impossible for her to move so much stuff by herself.
Therefore, it is speculated that this is the norm in Haicheng.
Qiao Feng imagined that Lin Yu had left her belongings somewhere, but something had happened there and now she couldn't leave them there.
"I'll be on vacation next week to handle things in Haicheng, so don't worry."
With his words, Lin Yu suddenly felt less nervous.
"I'm going too, bro."
Knowing that Qiao Feng was about to refuse, she quickly said, "Let's go see Grandpa and Grandma together."
Qiao Feng has gone back to pay respects to his grandparents in recent years, but his grandparents would definitely be happier if the two siblings went together.
He had no choice but to agree: "I'll buy you a sleeper ticket. Be careful."
Actually, Lin Yu wanted to say that she could buy it herself, but not wanting to disappoint Qiao Feng, she still said okay.
The brother and sister agreed on a time to meet in Haicheng next Friday.
After hanging up the phone, Qiao Feng immediately started looking for someone to help him buy a train ticket and also needed to ask for leave.
He has rarely taken vacations in recent years, but he has saved up quite a bit of vacation time, and this time he took half a month off.
Commander Zhang granted him leave and asked curiously, "Did your sister need something from you?"
Qiao Feng simply said, "Grandpa and Grandma's death anniversary is coming soon, let's go to Haicheng together to pay our respects."
Zhang Tuan knew there must be something else going on, but since he wasn't going to say anything, it meant it was a private matter.
The military's phone lines are being tapped, so they're not afraid he'll do anything wrong.
So Zhang Tuan didn't investigate any further.
But curiosity is irresistible, especially towards Qiao Feng's sister.
In the army, everyone you see every day is a grown man. Regiment Commander Zhang and several company commanders eagerly went to the dormitory to ask:
"Deputy Regiment Commander Qiao, does your sister look like you? How old is she this year?"
Zhang Tuan pushed the others aside, rubbed his hands together, and asked.
He's still single. How about we ask Deputy Regiment Commander Qiao to introduce a girl to him as a wife?
Qiao Feng said irritably, "Get out of here, all of you. It's none of your business how old my sister is, you bunch of stinky men."
In his eyes, no one was good enough for Lin Yu.
Not to mention these comrades-in-arms, who weren't particularly good-looking and were quite rude in their daily lives.
His sister is a cutie, how could she possibly date such a rough man?
The men protested, "We call this manliness, not rudeness. Besides, what kind of man acts like a sissy?"
Qiao Feng shook his head, looking down on all of them: "Come on, I know all of you. Besides, my sister has a boyfriend."
"What? You have a boyfriend? Where did he come from?"
Someone beat them to it.
Qiao Feng smiled and shook his head, saying, "My sister is twenty-two this year, why can't she have a boyfriend? Her boyfriend is a regimental commander."
Zhang Tuan blinked: "What's the difference between that and me? I can do it too, can't I?"
Qiao Feng was speechless: "You're too old."
Zhang Tuan is thirty-two years old this year, and it's not that he's never been married before, but his wife died in childbirth.
