In fact, talking to Bai Keyan on the phone, Xiao Jiahua also wanted to talk more about his recent situation.
She has been doing well at work recently. She has completed her winter cotton purchasing task and obtained a city hukou ahead of schedule. After the Chinese New Year, she will be able to bring Xiao Dabao and Xiao Shitou to Taifeng County to attend the local primary school.
However, every second of this phone call is precious. In the base's switchboard room, there are still many soldiers waiting in line for calls to report their safety to their families.
They can only keep their stories short.
"Bai Keyan, my family and I are doing fine! Tell me about the situation over there. Have you completed all the tasks?" Xiao Jiahua urged.
"Xiaoxiao, I'm fine too. Just like reported, the launch went smoothly." Bai Keyan's voice sounded a little tired, but his tone was relaxed.
He continued: "After the success of this flight test, everyone in the base was very excited. The leader even sympathized with us and gave us seven days of family leave."
"Really? Then you can go home! When exactly?" This was such an unexpected surprise.
Bai Keyan reported the date.
The vacation was scheduled for next week. Excluding the time spent on the train going back and forth, the time he could stay at home just spanned a weekend.
But the problem was that the three days when Bai Keyan returned home happened to be the days when Xiao Jiahua was on a business trip in Shanghai.
The base's holidays are rare, and there are so many soldiers waiting for their turns to rest, it is basically impossible to adjust.
At the Supply and Marketing Company, the train ticket for Xiao Jiahua to Shanghai had been booked in advance and it was difficult to change it.
In other words, she can only choose one between work and family this time.
Work is important, but love is unique, so Xiao Jiahua decisively chose... the former.
Well, let’s go on a business trip first.
Shanghai is so big, she really wants to go and see it.
After hesitating for a moment, she said guiltily: "Ke Yan, of course I hope you can go home, and I really want to see you... But cotton clothes are also very important to the people, so..."
"Xiaoxiao, I'm sorry." Bai Keyan suddenly spoke, interrupting her.
"ah?"
"I'm sorry. I'm afraid I can't go back to Qinghe Village during this holiday." Bai Keyan actually made the decision before her.
Although this decision seemed to be the most suitable, Xiao Jiahua felt empty, "…Why?"
Bai Keyan explained softly, "Two days ago, my second uncle called and said that the weather was getting colder and my second aunt's condition had suddenly worsened. My second uncle had important work to do and couldn't leave the border. He hoped that I could go to Shanghai first to visit my second aunt."
Of course, I have to go to Shanghai. Bai Keyan originally planned to stay in Shanghai for one night, then transfer to Taifeng County from Shanghai to visit Xiao Jiahua in Qinghe Village.
After visiting his relatives, he took another bus back to the base on the same day. Although traveling between three places is time-consuming, at least I can see the people I want to see.
However, when Xiao Jiahua told Bai Keyan about his situation, he immediately changed his mind.
"Xiaoxiao, we can meet directly in Shanghai."
In this way, Xiao Jiahua would not feel embarrassed.
He is so careful! Gentleman and considerate.
Xiao Jiahua was a little touched.
Thinking back to the previous times when his uncle and aunt from the Bai family had not taken good care of him, Xiao Jiahua felt a little guilty.
She asked with concern: "Is Second Aunt's illness serious? I should have made a special trip to visit her a long time ago."
Bai Keyan: "Don't worry, there are medical staff taking care of her over there. Second Aunt is much better now. We can go there later to make her feel more at ease."
After hearing what he said, Xiao Jiahua wished he could fly to Shanghai right away.
"Then it's settled. See you in Shanghai."
.
After making an agreement with Bai Keyan, Xiao Jiahua told his parents about his business trip.
