Qiao Wanyue's words dispelled her idea.
"Auntie, Brother Yunzhou's mission is uncertain. If what Qiao Shanshan said really comes true, and we didn't let him receive the things because we wanted to save money, won't you regret it later?"
Lu's mother immediately slapped fifteen yuan on the counter and said, "Send a telegram, the fastest one possible."
Actually, the fastest way is still by phone.
Of course, Lu's mother had thought of this.
She called the military region last night, but a new young man answered. He didn't know anything about Lu Yunzhou and didn't recognize him. He said he would ask first, but it was too late, so Lu's mother went home.
She saw the phone number for the post office and her brow twitched.
"Wanyue, let's try making a phone call first."
Qiao Wanyue didn't stop her; of course, she could make a phone call to explain things in advance.
That's the best.
Lu's mother went over and explained the situation to the post office staff. She knew the rule that phone calls were charged by the minute. She entered the phone number, and after a few rings, a clear male voice came from the other end.
"Southern Military Region, may I ask who you are?"
"Hello young comrade, I'm Lu Yunzhou's mother. We're holding a wedding banquet for him back home. He was supposed to come back three days early, about two weeks ago, and he's getting married tomorrow. What's going on? We haven't picked him up yet!"
“Auntie, it’s you. I asked about Battalion Commander Lu yesterday. He did go home, but... there are other matters in the regiment. Battalion Commander Lu was temporarily called back and will not be able to go back for a while.”
Lu's mother's heart skipped a beat.
That bitch Qiao Shanshan was right.
Her son can't really be sacrificed, can he?
But Lu's mother couldn't bring herself to tell her son not to go on the mission; she believed that the country should come before the family.
This is a man's responsibility.
"Young comrade, may I speak to Lu Yunzhou?"
"Auntie, I'm sorry, Battalion Commander Lu is not available."
That means it's not possible.
Lu's mother's heart sank. She called over Qiao Wanyue, "Wanyue, say a few words to the young comrade."
Qiao Wanyue answered the phone, "Young comrade, this is Qiao Wanyue. Could you please pass on a few words for me?"
The young man looked at the man in front of him and said, "Okay."
"Please tell Lu Yunzhou: Brother Yunzhou, my name is Qiao Wanyue. You should be my sister-in-law, but my sister married my husband and sent my household registration book to you. You don't want that, so we'll get a divorce when you come back."
If you agree, I'll wait for you to come back.
Also, please take care of yourself. Aunt Lu and I have sent you some medicine and food. Please take care of yourself, stay healthy, and come back safely. We are all waiting for you.
After she finished speaking, she handed the phone to Lu's mother.
"Sister-in-law, you sent something to Battalion Commander Lu, right?"
The title "little soldier" made Qiao Wanyue pause.
"Yes."
The young soldier looked at the words on the note, bit his lip, and said, "We happen to have a communications officer returning today. If you're ready, I'll contact him. He'll drive back to the military region tonight, and maybe we can even get a meeting with Battalion Commander Lu..."
Qiao Wanyue was overjoyed.
It's like a pillow being delivered to someone who's sleepy.
Lu's mother heard this too and tugged at Qiao Wanyue's sleeve. Qiao Wanyue realized what was happening and quickly agreed. Since she was asking someone else to bring something, it couldn't just be simple apples. She planned to go to her space to get some more.
We agreed to talk on the phone again two hours later.
Qiao Wanyue and Lu's mother went to the largest department store in the city again.
Stockpiling goods.
