Hearing this, Cheng Jingmo's heart beat faster. His first reaction was that it was a call from Yu Xiangnian, but he immediately rejected this idea.
I didn't even know where Yu Xiangnian was, so how could I call him? Besides, how would Yu Xiangnian know the unit's phone number?
On the way to answer the phone, Cheng Jingmo kept thinking that it was Yu Xiangnian calling, but he suppressed this thought all the way.
Expectations, but also fear of disappointment!
Arriving at the duty room, he picked up the phone and said, "Hello, this is Cheng Jingmo."
After waiting for a while, there was no response from the other party, so Cheng Jingmo said again: "Hello, hello, who are you?"
When Yu Xiangnian heard the word "Hello", she recognized Cheng Jingmo's voice. Her heart inexplicably skipped a beat. She held the phone, forgetting what she was supposed to say.
It was not until Cheng Jingmo spoke for the second time that Yu Xiangnian hurriedly said, "Cheng Jingmo, it's me."
Cheng Jingmo listened to the voice coming from the receiver. Although it was different from the voice of Yu Xiangnian speaking in person, he still recognized the unique voice at once.
His mood suddenly soared, and he didn't notice that the corners of his mouth curled up slightly and even the tips of his eyebrows raised.
Yu Xiangnian said, "I was delayed in Shanghai by something, and it will take a few days for me to come back."
Cheng Jingmo's heart was beating fast, but his voice remained calm. "Well, are you okay?"
"I'm fine, how about you?"
"I'm fine too." Cheng Jingmo paused and asked, "Is the money enough?"
"That's enough."
They both fell silent at the same time, and could hear each other's breathing through the receiver.
I was reluctant to hang up the phone, but I didn't know what to say.
After a while, Yu Xiangnian said, "Then I'm hanging up?"
"Hmm." Cheng Jingmo suddenly said, "Wait a minute!"
"Will you be home before August 1st?" he asked.
Yu Xiangnian quickly realized that August 1st was Army Day, and there would be a social party in the army that day, and family members were allowed to attend.
Yu Xiangnian used to be often taken along by the Yu family to attend events.
She said, "If you can come back, tell Xiaojie that I will bring him some toys."
"Um."
"Then I'm hanging up?"
"good."
"goodbye."
"goodbye."
Both of them waited for the other to hang up first. After waiting for a while, Yu Xiangnian finally hung up first.
Listening to the "beep" sound coming from the receiver, Cheng Jingmo chuckled and hung up the phone.
Yu Xiangnian was still not satisfied and regretted it when he was about to pay!
She just spoke a few words to Cheng Jingmo, and she called home twice to ask for the number, which cost her a total of eleven dollars.
This phone bill is too expensive!
Yu Xiangnian and Qiu Yang came out of the post office and went to a state-owned restaurant for dinner.
Qiu Yang looked at Yu Xiangnian grinning foolishly while eating, rolled his eyes, and said disdainfully: "You have fallen in love with Cheng Jingmo!"
Yu Xiangnian did not deny it.
Maybe she hasn't reached the point of liking him yet, but she admires Cheng Jingmo, maybe her heart is moved...
Regardless of Cheng Jingmo's external conditions, during the time they spent together, Yu Xiangnian was attracted by Cheng Jingmo's inner qualities.
His upbringing seems to be ingrained in him. He is emotionally stable, respectful and tolerant of others, down-to-earth and responsible, and never complains...
Anyway, the more you get along with each other, the more advantages you will discover.
Yu Xiangnian looked like a young girl in love. Qiu Yang couldn't bear to look at her and shook his head, "It's good to like him. Live a good life with him."
Yu Xiangnian said somewhat dejectedly, "He has someone he likes, and I heard they're getting married. It was my dad who insisted that he marry me."
Qiu Yang's eyes widened in disbelief, "Is this really happening?"
"That's right! When you and I were abroad, they were getting married. Later, when I came back, my dad asked him to marry me."
She paused and then said angrily, "You don't even know that Cheng Jingmo likes that woman. I hate her so much! On the surface, she seems well-educated and well-mannered, but in fact, she is a scheming bitch! Do you men all like this kind of white lotus?"
Qiu Yang said dissatisfiedly: "What do you mean by men? Don't kill them with one stick. I don't like that!"
Yu Xiangnian smiled evilly and looked straight at Qiu Yang, "I guess who those love words of yours were written to?"
Qiu Yang looked at him warily, "Don't talk nonsense, I don't like anyone! I was just writing casually!"
Yu Xiangnian gave him a look that said, "I understand." "I respect everyone's sexual orientation."
Qiu Yang's face flushed and paled for a long time before he said, "I don't think your father forced Cheng Jingmo to marry you."
He quickly changed the subject away from himself.
Yu Xiangnian said without any emotion: "Then why did he marry me? Because of my background?"
Qiu Yang nodded in agreement, "One is your background, and the other is your person."
"Are you targeting my people?" Yu Xiangnian asked in surprise.
Qiu Yang said, "I noticed it back then. The way he looked at you was different. He was gentle and restrained. At least he had a good impression of you."
Yu Xiangnian said, "Then he's even more annoying! He had a crush on me, then fell in love with someone else, and then married me in the blink of an eye!"
Qiu Yang said, "Isn't this normal? If you don't like him, can't he like someone else? You have more backing than that woman, and you're willing to marry him, so of course he has to marry you!"
Yu Xiangnian gritted his teeth, "Men are so realistic!"
Qiu Yang agreed, "Which man is unrealistic?"
Sun Yichuang's mother recovered well, and Yu Xiangnian finally had the opportunity to talk to Sun Yichuang's father about translation.
It just so happened that the publishing house was preparing to translate an English work.
Sun Yichuang's father asked Yu Xiangnian to translate a few paragraphs on the spot and was very satisfied.
"Comrade Yu, have you also studied abroad?"
Yu Xiangnian answered honestly, "No, I've been abroad for a while and I like to read foreign books."
Sun Yichuang's father immediately decided to give the work to Yu Xiangnian for translation, with the price being two yuan per thousand words, to be settled on a monthly basis.
Yu Xiangnian estimated that this work would have about 500,000 words, which would be 1,000 yuan.
She was still satisfied with the price.
Sun Yichuang's father said that if the work was translated well, the price could be raised in the future, and he would also introduce other publishing houses to her for translation.
After hearing this, Yu Xiangnian became more motivated!
The department stores in Shanghai are much larger than those in the south city, with a wider variety of goods and more fashionable items.
Yu Xiangnian bought a set of building blocks for Xiaojie, a pen for Cheng Jingmo, and a set of clothes for himself.
He also brought a bottle of Shanghai-produced tea to Yu Jiashun, bought a pair of leather shoes for Zhao Ruozhu, and gave each of the three brothers a lighter, mainly because they were light and easy to carry.
Qiu Yang wanted to stay in Shanghai for a while longer, so he was forced by Yu Xiangnian to return to Nancheng. The two of them returned at the last minute.
In the past few days, Yu Xiangnian dragged Qiu Yang to practice whenever he had time, just to give Cheng Jingmo a surprise on August 1st.
