Chapter 384 No Worries to Report
As a result, just as I arrived at the door and had no time to go in, a fully armed postman came towards me with a package on his back and a post office-specific backpack slung in front of him.
The moment their eyes met, Yi Chichi clearly saw the gleam of surprise in the postman's eyes.
"Comrade Yi, you've arrived just in time. There's a telegram for you!"
Before he finished speaking, he opened his backpack and took out a telegram from it and gave it to her, "I'm preparing to send it to you."
Yi Chichi took it, thanked him politely, and asked him, "Are you still going to deliver the package?"
"The commune has a few urgent items that need to be delivered quickly."
The postman replied to her and plunged into the wind and snow towards the commune government.
Yi Chichi stood at the door and opened the telegram. It was a reply from Ji Jian.
Telegrams were charged by the word, so in order to save money, Ji Jian's telegrams were concise and clear.
Lao Wen is back!
There are five words in total, and there are no punctuation marks.
But the content inside touched Yi Chichi's heart. She received the telegram with a smile on her face, turned around and said to Uncle Liu, "Uncle, can you give Wen Shi a call? Can you please wait for me for a moment?"
"Okay, big girl, feel free to fight. I'll be waiting for you!"
So, Yi Chichi ran in and called Wen Shi.
It is very troublesome to make a phone call nowadays. You need to register and queue up first, but there are not many people in the post office today, so you can skip the queue.
Next is to report the contact person's location.
The call will then be transferred by the operator one level at a time. Whether the transfer will be successful is unknown, and it may take a long time to contact the person involved.
However, the troops are focused, and as long as you know the unit number and the line is not busy during the transfer process, you can get in touch.
If the line is busy somewhere, then it's over and the call won't be connected.
Fortunately, Yi Chichi was lucky and the transfer process went smoothly. After layers of transfers, she successfully contacted the communicator at the battalion headquarters.
When the operator learned they were looking for Wen, after clarifying her identity, he said, "Sister-in-law, do you think we should hang up first or just wait? I need to call Deputy Commander Wen first."
"wait."
Yi Chichi didn't hang up. It was not an era with good signal now. What if she hung up and I couldn't get through to her when I called her again?
I would rather spend money to talk to Wen Shi than waste the phone bill and then send a telegram if I can't get in touch.
The communicator said "OK" and ran to call for help.
Yi Chichi heard clear footsteps and the voice of another operator answering the phone.
The waiting time was not long, only about four or five minutes, and then Wen Shi's breathless voice came, "Wife, wife, I'm here."
"I heard you. Now I say something and you answer."
"good."
"Just got back?"
"I came back this morning and just came out of the leader's office."
Yi Chichi understood immediately that this was a routine report after completing the mission.
She asked with concern, "Are you hurt?"
Wen Shi subconsciously wanted to say no, but Yi Chichi said, "Don't lie to me."
Very good, my wife doesn’t give him any chance to lie.
Sighing, he said helplessly, "It's still the same."
Yi Chichi was stunned for a moment before realizing that the old look he mentioned was referring to a rotten crotch. He immediately became anxious and asked, "Didn't you bring medicine?"
The prescriptions have been handed in. Given the army's efficiency, once the prescriptions are proven to be effective, even if they cannot be mass-produced, they should be prepared for those going out to sea.
"I brought it."
Knowing what she was asking, Wen Shi explained, "We've been out for too long this time and are seriously short of fresh water. No amount of medicine will help."
What this means is that it is not the medicine that is to blame, but the result of an overly difficult environment.
Yi Chichi felt so distressed that she asked him, "How about I go over there?"
"Don't."
It's freezing cold now, the train is terribly slow, and she has to change trains on the way. Why bother her?
"I'm only on leave for seven days this time. When you come, I might be leading the team in training, not necessarily the regimental headquarters."
As soon as these words came out, Yi Chichi had no idea at all.
I can only tell him to see a doctor and take care of himself.
Then Wen Shi asked about her family situation, whether anyone bullied them, how the old man and the others were doing, etc. Yi was slow to report good news but not bad news.
Besides, there is no worry to report.
I wanted to remind him countless times about what happened in January, but I didn't know how to start. I could only tell him to take good care of himself.
"I know, daughter-in-law, you have to be good to me at home. Don't be hard on yourselves. Don't be stingy with what you want to eat or use..."
"Deputy Captain Wen, it's been ten minutes."
Someone nearby reminded him, and Wen Shi felt his pockets and realized he had no money. He asked Yi Chi Chi, "Wife, how about we just hang up? Can I write you a letter?"
"OK!"
Some things are really hard to say on the phone, so it’s better to write a letter in the form of an acrostic poem.
With the IQ of hearing...
I can probably understand it.
Facts have proved that Wen Shi’s IQ is very reliable.
The letter was written at the end of November, and when it reached Wen, it was already mid-November. It took more than half a month to get there.
At first he didn't find any mystery in the letter until Yi Chichi asked about a certain island casually. Then he felt something was wrong and studied the letter word by word from beginning to end.
Then he fell silent.
My wife's ability to extract more information from the little information she gets from newspapers and radio is really a bit outrageous.
Really, he never thought that his wife would remind him.
Although he didn't need it, he remembered this kindness.
He smiled, took a pen and paper, and wrote back to Yi Chichi. He wrote six pages of letter before stopping.
Both sides are filled with writing.
When he packed the envelope, he not only stuffed money and tickets into it, but also two photos.
The photo was taken in a photo studio when I accompanied Mr. and Mrs. He to the department store.
One is a solo photo of him, and the other is a photo of him and He Yunsong and his wife.
When Yi Chichi received the letter, opened the envelope and took out the letter, the photo that caught her eye made her shout in surprise, "Mom, come quickly, Wen Shi sent the photo back."
"Where, where?"
The voice arrives before the person arrives.
As soon as she finished speaking, Wen's mother, wearing sleeves and with flour on her hands, appeared excitedly in front of Yi Chichi.
"Your son is so handsome!"
Yi Chichi showed him a photo of Wen Shi. Wen's mother looked at it carefully for a long time. Her eyes were red, but the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl up. "Yes, this face of his can cover up all his shortcomings."
When he was a child, Wen Shike was very naughty and a little devil. He would get into trouble, fight, fish in puddles, catch rabbits in the mountains, dig out bird nests in trees, and dig out vole holes in the ground. There was nothing he was afraid to do.
"Mom, are you proud to have such a handsome son?"
Yi Chichi put his arms around her neck and joked with a smile.
Mother Wen rolled her eyes at her and said, "You must be proud. My son is so outstanding. How dare you say you don't like him?"
"I like it."
He has a good face and a good figure. People who were straightforward before were speechless. He was obsessed with finding a lesbian who could carry him in his arms like a princess, but that couldn't cover up his outstanding changes after marriage.
"As long as you like it, let's take a look at what he wrote."
