"Wife, how is it?" Pei Yuanzheng was guarding the door, and when he saw her come out he went to greet her. Although it was a question, every word he asked showed his certainty that Ruan Niannian had already figured it out.
Ruan Niannian smiled and said, "I'm not even 100% sure I can handle it, where do you get such great confidence in me?"
"The political commissar said so." Pei Yuanzheng was afraid that Ruan Niannian might misunderstand, so he quickly added, "Wife, our political commissar is both a teacher and a father to me. When I first joined the army, I knew nothing, and he taught me everything. I only have respect and love for him, and you are the person I like and love the most."
Ruan Niannian reached out and patted her arm, "What are you talking about? We talked about it on the street. If you want to say it, let's go back and talk about it. I'll let you talk enough. Let's go now."
"No, my dear. It has been a while since I called the political commissar to report on the progress of the mission. I want to formally introduce you to him."
Of course, he had reported his wife to the political commissar early on, and based on his description, the political commissar was very appreciative of Ruan Niannian.
If he hadn't said last time that he "liked the political commissar the most", he might have brought Ruan Niannian to call the political commissar a long time ago.
Seeing that he was determined, Ruan Niannian simply let him go. She also wanted to see what kind of person the "political commissar" that Pei Yuanzheng always mentioned was.
The call was connected quickly, and Pei Yuanzheng briefly and vaguely reported the work progress to the other side, told the political commissar about Zheng Chenggong's site inspection period, and then talked about Ruan Niannian.
"Boss, I brought my wife here today. OK, I'll let her answer the phone right away."
This is the first time I see Pei Yuanzheng with such an expression.
In the past, he was serious and unsmiling when facing others; but in front of her, he was warm, caring and strong.
And now Pei Yuanzheng, who was talking on the phone with the political commissar, made Ruan Niannian feel that he seemed to have a sense of "admiration".
That feeling towards beloved seniors.
Ruan Niannian silently answered the phone in Pei Yuanzheng's expectant eyes, "Hello, hello, I am Pei Yuanzheng's wife Ruan Niannian."
"Hello, I am Comrade Pei Yuanzheng's guide. My name is Wei Xianhua. You can call me Uncle Wei, or you can call me Boss like Yuanzheng did."
The voice on the other end of the phone was cheerful and warm, giving Ruan Niannian a feeling of great power.
It's not about physical strength.
She immediately developed a favorable impression of the political commissar and quickly replied, "Okay, Uncle Wei."
And then I didn’t know what to say. She had very little experience in getting along with elders, she had no grandparents, and she was rebellious since she was young and liked to go against her father.
She never knew what it was like to be a young person who was liked by the elders.
"Comrade Ruan Niannian, you don't need to be so reserved. Let's just chat like we're at home. Did you receive the vanishing cream that I asked you to squeeze over during the last expedition?"
Ruan Niannian replied: "Received, thank you Uncle Wei, the vanishing cream is very useful."
It turned out that he asked Wei Xianhua to send it. I'm afraid you can't find such good quality snow cream even in the city, let alone in a small county. I don't know how Pei Yuanzheng's plan to introduce skin care products is progressing.
"As long as it's useful, it's good. We grown men don't know these things. I asked your aunt to teach me. Let Yuanzheng bring you home to play. Your aunt likes you very much after hearing Yuanzheng talk about you."
Wei Xianhua's voice is just like that of an ordinary elder, no wonder Pei Yuanzheng admires him so much.
He lost his father when he was young and his mother didn't love him. When he met such a kind and loving elder, it was easy for him to sincerely respect and love him as an elder in his own family.
Not to mention Pei Yuanzheng, even Ruan Niannian, her favorability towards Wei Xianhua increased rapidly after the phone call.
After hanging up the phone, Ruan Niannian had already started thinking about whether she should send something to Wei Xianhua and his wife.
Pei Yuanzheng watched Ruan Niannian's eyebrows soften little by little, and she became more and more relaxed during the conversation. He thought to himself that bringing his wife to call the political commissar was indeed the right choice.
The political commissar must have said a lot of good things about him, and his wife must have loved him even more.
That’s right, this is what the political commissar said, “Men protect each other”!
Watching the phone call hang up, Pei Yuanzheng went to pay the money, and the couple walked out of the post office together.
"Wife, how do you feel?"
"Brother Yuanzheng, let's install a telephone."
They both spoke at the same time, then looked at each other and laughed.
Pei Yuanzheng was not a person who was used to laughing loudly. The fact that he could keep the corners of his mouth raised was a sign of happiness. Seeing Ruan Niannian smiling brightly, he couldn't help but look at her for a while longer.
When Ruan Niannian calmed down, he asked, "Wife, why do you want to install a phone?"
Installing a telephone is not cheap, and they often don’t communicate with the outside world, so the post office is much more convenient.
"Of course we have to keep it confidential. You said your current mission is a secret one, so how can you go to the post office every time you report your work? This is too... conspicuous."
Ruan Niannian spoke in a low voice. She thought about the wording of the last sentence and decided to use the word "conspicuous" to describe it.
"Well, my wife, you are right. We should install one. It will be more convenient for us to contact my father-in-law later."
"Who told you this?" Ruan Niannian glared at him, but without the slightest unhappiness. She turned around and left without waiting for Pei Yuanzheng.
Pei Yuanzheng had the same idea as Ruan Niannian before.
But the political commissar advised him not to do so. He said that the reason for the secret mission was only because his costs were specially approved. However, nothing can be hidden from others. Economic development will sooner or later break the existing pattern.
If there are people who are willing to listen and learn, perhaps a phone call can play a role in driving economic development.
Because of the reputation of "speculation and profiteering", the country has curbed the free development of the economy for many years. Now if it wants to promote development again, there is still a struggle, and the political commissar can only experiment slowly step by step in remote areas.
At least when the opening day comes, they will be less hectic.
Pei Yuanzheng finally made up his mind to install a telephone this time. Ruan Niannian married him and married far away. It was considered that he could not accompany her back to celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival. Now that he had more money, he wanted to make up for it to the best of his ability.
Ever since her marriage and her father and mother went back home, Ruan Niannian has never contacted her family again. Maybe she was too busy to remember, but Pei Yuanzheng felt very distressed.
Phone, install it as soon as possible.
