These days, only the post office and workplaces had telephones. Jiang Yu turned and headed towards the post office.
She still remembered the phone number Wen Yanqing gave her.
A cold young woman answered the phone: "Research Center, who's calling?"
"Hello, I'm looking for Comrade Wen Yanqing."
The other end paused after hearing Jiang Yu's clear voice, then said a little slowly, "Wait."
After five or six minutes, there was still no movement from the other end.
Jiang Yu watched the time pass by minute by minute, feeling very sad. The phone call fee was ten cents per minute!
Just as she was hesitating whether to hang up and call back later, the phone was finally picked up.
A gentle voice came from the other end of the phone: "I'm Wen Yanqing."
"Hello, Comrade Wen, I'm Jiang Yu."
When Wen Yanqing heard Jiang Yu's voice, her eyelashes trembled slightly, and she looked up to see the operator staring at her.
He turned around and lowered his voice, "Hello, Comrade Jiang, what do you want to talk to me about? Have you changed your mind?"
"No, no, no, I'm still making the same decision as before. I'm thinking about how much you helped me the last two times, Comrade Wen. I heard from Comrade Park that you like fish, and I happen to be a pretty good cook. I'd like to make you some pickled fish as a thank you. I wonder when Comrade Wen would be free?"
"Comrade Jiang, there's no need to be so polite. I'm just doing a little favor."
"I knew you would say that, but Comrade Wen, you've helped me so much. Let's be fair. I can't accept your help just because you feel guilty. I'd feel uneasy if I kept owing you a favor."
Wen Yanqing opened his mouth: "..." It wasn't entirely out of guilt.
Wen Yanqing paused and said, "I will go back to the city tomorrow."
Jiang Yu smiled and said, "That's great. I'll make some fish and send it to you tomorrow. Where do you live?"
"The General's Compound."
"Okay, then we'll see you tomorrow afternoon."
"Okay." See you then.
