Chapter 911 Long Distance Calls
Seeing Meng Chuan's surprised expression, the chief of staff smiled, "So I asked you not to worry about the position, if you want to ask for leave, I will give you approval, and it is okay to go back to meet your parents." ”
Meng Chuan thought about it, but still forgot it, "Chief of Staff, no need, I'd better save up the holidays, whether it's the Mid-Autumn Festival holiday or the New Year's holiday, I don't panic when I have a holiday." ”
The chief of staff nodded, "Okay, then I'll let Xiao Wang take you to dinner, you just returned to China, take a good rest, what's going on, I'll let Xiao Wang call you." ”
Meng Chuan immediately saluted the chief of staff, and then turned around and left the office, Meng Chuan's mood was still a little heavy, but this sudden rank of major completely made Meng Chuan feel better.
But this is not a sudden military rank, after all, if you don't have this mission, you have obtained your intermediate class graduation certificate, and with the intermediate class graduation certificate, then even if you are not a major, others will treat you as a major.
This thing is like a college student admission letter, and when you get the letter, you can completely say that you are a college student.
Captain Wang watched the rank on Meng Chuan's shoulders become major, and he was also very envious, but this is normal, Meng Chuan has made so many contributions, he should have been promoted to major a long time ago, this major, he deserves it.
"Major Meng, you come with me, let's go to the cafeteria for a meal first, and then you go back to the guest house, take a good shower, and sleep in Meimei later, why do you have to reverse the jet lag."
Meng Chuan is not hungry now, because the meal was provided on the plane, "Xiao Wang, I won't eat, I just ate on the plane, I want to go back to the dormitory first, by the way, where is the phone here, I want to call home." ”
The telephones here are all public telephones, and they are all available in the Political Department, because when making a call, there must be a supervisor, after all, the army has secrecy regulations, and there are many things that cannot be said.
Of course, this regulation is not very effective now, because almost everyone in our grassroots soldiers has a mobile phone, and if you really want to call outsiders, there is no need to use a public phone, just use your own mobile phone.
However, Meng Chuan's mobile phone was not brought with him, and he was still with Duan You, so if he wanted to report his parents' safety, he still had to use a public phone.
"Counselor Wang, you take me to make a call, I haven't been back for a while, and I want to report the safety of my parents at home."
Staff Officer Wang immediately nodded, "Okay, let's go." ”
The public telephone manager here was a sergeant, and when he saw a captain and major approaching, he immediately stood up, "Hello chief, may I ask what is the matter with you?" ”
Meng Chuan pointed to the phone, I want to make a call.
When the sergeant heard Meng Chuan's words, he was a little confused, when will the school officer come to call him? Because the grassroots soldiers are generally equipped with mobile phones, there are almost no people in the telephone hall, except for the weekends of the week, there are more recruits who come here to call, and the slightly older soldiers use their own mobile phones to call.
Even the soldiers use their mobile phones to make calls, let alone these officers, this major is really a little strange, he came all the way to himself to call.
Seeing that the sergeant didn't speak for a long time, Staff Officer Wang knocked on the table, "What's wrong?" Don't you let the phone work? ”
The sergeant hurriedly waved his hand, "Let it be used, let it be used, please fight." ”
Meng Chuan nodded, picked up the telephone, and dialed his father's number.
Meng's father was at work, and when he saw that it was a phone call from out of town, he hurriedly wiped his hands, and then clicked on the phone.
Xiaochuan hasn't called himself for half a year, and he hasn't even called or sent a letter back for the New Year, which makes his parents, who are more than half a hundred years old, a little worried.
So every time there is a call from other places, Meng's father will be extremely excited, hoping that this is Meng Chuan's call, but every time he is disappointed, the foreign calls are all calls to sell insurance and promote products, but even so, Meng's father still has to answer every call from the field, in case he misses the call from Meng Chuan.
"Excuse me, who are you looking for?"
Meng Chuan heard his father's familiar voice, and a taste of family affection suddenly surged into Meng Chuan's eyes, Meng Chuan forcibly adjusted his emotions and held back a little smile, "Dad, it's me, Meng Chuan." At the front, because the troops were too busy, there was no signal there, so I didn't call you. Now that I'm free, I'm not busy, I'll give you a call to say hello. ”
When Father Meng heard Meng Chuan's voice, the stone in his heart fell to the ground, and he said slowly, "The affairs in the army are serious matters, and the affairs of the country are major matters, so you should be busy, and your mother and I can understand it." It's just your mother, she nagged you every day, saying that you wouldn't call home during the Chinese New Year, saying that you were a leader, and the more you became, the busier you became. ”
Meng Chuan hurriedly said: "Originally, the leader approved me for family leave, but I didn't ask for it, I want to keep the holiday, and when the Chinese New Year or Mid-Autumn Festival comes, I will ask for leave to go back to see you." Are you okay now? ”
Father Meng's body is fine, "I'm fine." ”
Maybe the topic between the son and the father can never be discussed, the father's love is always secret, after learning that you are fine, he will not show too much concern, he is not like the mother will chatter, can make your ears out of the cocoon.
The two were silent for a while, and Father Meng spoke, "Then you can call your mother, I'm also busy here." ”
Meng Chuan nodded again and again, "Okay, I'll call you on the weekend." ”
Meng Chuan hung up the phone and looked at the sergeant, "I can call the second one." ”
The sergeant nodded repeatedly, "Chief, you can fight as many as you want." ”
Meng Chuan sorted out his emotions and dialed his mother's phone.
The call time between Meng Chuan and his mother is a bit long, it's not that Meng Chuan has any topics to talk about, the key is to listen to his mother's nagging and concern, and you can listen to it for a long time.
Meng Chuan, the major, was on the phone, and the sergeant didn't dare to limit the time, although the telephone hall was his own responsibility, but he was not idle enough to talk to a major about principles.
Besides, this point is not the peak period for using telephones, and several other telephones are not used, and it is good to listen to home cooking here.
The phone kept going for half an hour, and Meng Chuan also realized that he had been calling for a long time, and it was time to end it.
Even if the telephone administrator is giving himself time to relax, but he can't violate the principle, how to say that the phone is a public good, and others want to call, and it is impossible for you to occupy the phone alone for too long.
"Mom, then I'll hang up the phone first, I'll call you on the weekend, you must take care of your body."
