"......"
The review of military district telephone numbers is rather troublesome. If you call from the office phone in the county party committee compound, there is a high possibility that it will be monitored. Although this possibility also exists for home phones, the review is not as strict.
He put the microphone aside and calmly waited for the response from the other end. After waiting for about ten minutes, he heard a familiar voice from the microphone: "Hello..."
Fu Weilun picked up the microphone and said, "Second brother..."
Fu Weihao's deep voice came from the other side: "Third brother, what's going on at home? Is Dad okay..."
Fu Weilun said in a cold voice, "Dad is fine, but something happened to my uncle's family in Shanghai some time ago. Now there is only a little girl left at home. The child has been taken back to her hometown."
After a pause of a few seconds, the other party's tone became noticeably heavier, "Xiao Xiao, that child is eleven years old this year?"
Fu Weilun chuckled, "He's almost thirteen years old... This kid is about the same age as Xiaoyu."
"...Oh." The other party hesitated for a moment before saying, "I will try to find time to go back..."
Fu Weilun: "Well, you should come back when you have time. Dad misses you too. By the way, second brother, you will stay in the military area recently..."
"Not sure," Fu Weihao replied, "You know, if there is a temporary mission, I have to obey orders."
Fu Weilun said calmly, "Oh, that's it. My father got something for you. Should I send it to the military area or the dormitory? How can I get it to you..."
The other party was silent for a few seconds and replied: "I don't need anything, so there's no need for the old man to worry... If there are good things, let him use them himself. I will send more money next month, and you can ask my sister-in-law to buy more things for Xiaoxiao."
Fu Weilun frowned, and his voice became more serious. "Second brother, just tell me whether you will stay in the military area this month."
Fu Weihao was very surprised, but he knew that his third brother was a steady person and would not speak without a purpose, so he asked tentatively: "Why? The thing is very important..."
"Yes, it's very important."
Fu Weihao was silent for a moment: "There are a lot of training this month, probably all in the military area."
Fu Weilun: "Where's Ah Sui? Didn't he go back to his mother's home with my second sister-in-law?"
"No, I have been studying in the military area."
Fu Weilun nodded, "That's good, then I'm relieved. Tell him that it's best not to leave the military area within a week... My sister has a gift for him..."
"I see. How's your work going?"
Fu Weilun said nonchalantly, "I'm doing well at work, and nothing is wrong at home. You don't have to worry. Just be careful when doing the task... You don't have to send money home. There's enough money at home. My niece is very well behaved. I'll send you photos when I have the chance..."
The man opposite sighed, and said with a hint of smile, "Okay, I got it. I'll trouble you and my elder brother with all the family matters. I'm sorry for you, but I will definitely come home when I have time."
Fu Weilun said calmly, "Second brother, you should say this every year. Just be careful. The two boys are on vacation now. Let them come back. Grandpa misses them very much..."
Fu Weihao nodded affirmatively in agreement. This was what he had originally planned.
Fu Weilun said in a calm voice: "Brother, now that everything has been made clear, I will hang up now."
The man opposite said in a deep voice: "Okay, Third Brother, take good care of our father."
"Don't worry," Fu Weilun smiled faintly, "Since having a granddaughter, the old man is now at least ten years younger. You will definitely be shocked when you see her."
After hanging up the phone, Fu Weihao sat in the office for a long time without saying a word. As a son, he always felt guilty for not being able to take care of his father when he was old and frail. When his mother passed away, it was because he failed to complete his mission, but his family never blamed him and were very supportive of him as a soldier.
Fu Weihao can pat his chest and say that he is a good soldier, worthy of the country and the people, but he feels sorry for his family, especially his parents who gave birth to and raised him.
He remembered his uncle in Shanghai. He was seriously injured during a mission and it was the ginseng given to him by his uncle that saved his life. He should go back to see him this time out of both emotional and logical considerations, but he still couldn't go back.
My uncle had the best relationship with my dad, and his passing must have been a big blow to my dad. Thinking of his old age, his hands hung quietly at his sides, with deep thoughts surging in his eyes.
The operator at the side saw that his leader had just answered the phone and his mood became uneasy. He hesitated for a long time and said softly: "Leader, is there something wrong at home?"
Hearing this, Fu Weihao came back to the present from his thoughts and looked at the young man in military uniform in front of him. "Nothing happened, I just miss home."
The operator scratched his head and said with a smile: "I miss home, I miss home too. I haven't been back to my hometown for two years since I came here."
Fu Weihao stood up and patted his shoulder. "Go home when you have time off and write more letters to your family."
After saying that, he walked out of the switchboard room. He still had training tasks to do today and couldn't leave for too long.
