Chapter 80: The First Phone Call
Hearing this, Cheng Jingmo's heartbeat accelerated, and his first reaction was a call from Yu Xiangnian, but he instantly rejected the idea.
Yu Xiangnian didn't know where he was, how would he call him, besides, how would Yu Xiangnian know the number of the troops.
On the way to answer the phone, Cheng Jingmo was thinking that it was Yu Xiangnian's call all the way, and he suppressed this idea along the way.
Expectation, but fear of disappointment!
When he arrived at the duty room, he picked up the phone, "Hey, hello, I'm Cheng Jingmo." β
After waiting for a while, the other party did not respond, and Cheng Jingmo said again: "Hey, hello, who are you?" β
When Yu Xiangnian heard the word "hey", she heard Cheng Jingmo's voice, her heart skipped a beat inexplicably, holding the phone, and forgetting what to say in her mind.
It wasn't until Cheng Jingmo spoke for the second time that Yu Xiangnian hurriedly spoke, "Cheng Jingmo, it's me." β
Cheng Jingmo listened to the voice coming out of the earpiece, although it was different from the voice of Yu Xiangnian speaking in person, he still recognized the unique voice at once.
His mood flew up all of a sudden, he didn't pay attention to himself, the corners of his mouth were shallow curved, and even the tips of his eyebrows were raised.
Yu Xiangnian said: "I have something to delay in Shanghai, and I will not be able to come back in a few days." β
Cheng Jingmo's heartbeat was terrible, but his voice remained calm, "Well, are you okay?" β
"I'm fine, what about you?"
"I'm fine, too." Cheng Jingmo paused and asked, "Is the money enough?" β
"That's enough."
The two of them were silent at the same time, and the sound of each other's breathing could be heard coming from the earpiece.
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?" β
"Hmm." Cheng Jingmo suddenly said again: "Wait a minute! β
"Will you be home by August 1st?" He asked.
Yu Xiangnian quickly reacted that August 1 was Army Day, and there would be a party in the army on that day, and family members were allowed to participate.
Yu Xiangnian used to be often brought to participate by the Yu family.
She said: "If you can come back, you tell Xiaojie that I will bring him toys." β
"Hmm."
"Then I'm hanging?"
"Okay."
"Goodbye."
"Goodbye."
Both of them waited for each other to hang up the phone first, and after waiting for a while, Yu Xiangnian finally hung up first.
Listening to the "beep" sound coming from the earpiece, Cheng Jingmo chuckled and hung up the phone.
Yu Xiangnian's intention was still not fulfilled when he paid the money, so he regretted it!
just said those two words to Cheng Jingmo, and took her home to call home two times to ask for the number, charging a total of eleven yuan.
It's too expensive!
Yu Xiangnian and Qiu Yang came out of the post office, and the two went to the state-run restaurant for dinner.
Qiu Yang looked at Yu Xiangnian smirking while eating, rolled his eyes, and said disdainfully, "You like Cheng Jingmo!" β
Yu Xiangnian did not deny it.
Maybe it's not to the point where she likes it, but she admires Cheng Jingmo, maybe she is movedΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·
Regardless of Cheng Jingmo's external conditions, Yu Xiangnian was attracted by Cheng Jingmo's inner self during this period of time.
His upbringing seems to be engraved in his bones, emotionally stable, respectful and tolerant of others, practical and responsible, and never complainingΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·
Anyway, the more you get along, the more you can find a lot of advantages.
Yu Xiangnian looked like a girl with a young spring, Qiu Yang couldn't bear to look at him and shook his head, "It's good to like him, live a good life with him." β
Yu Xiangnian said with some discouragement: "He has someone he likes, and I heard that he is going to get married." It was my dad who had to ask him to marry me. β
Qiu Yang's eyes widened, expressing disbelief, "There is such a thing?" β
"Not really! When I was abroad with you, they had a good talk about getting married. Then I came back, and my dad asked him to marry me. β
She paused and said indignantly: "You don't know, Cheng Jingmo likes that woman and hates it to death!" On the surface, he is knowledgeable, but in fact he is a scheming! Isn't it true that you men like this kind of white lotus! β
Qiu Yang said dissatisfiedly: "What do you call a man? Don't beat you to death with a stick, I don't like that! β
Yu Xiangnian smiled evilly and looked at Qiu Yang directly, "I guessed who you wrote those love words to?" β
Qiu Yang's vigilant eyes, "Don't talk nonsense, I don't like anyone!" I'm just writing casually! β
Yu Xiangnian gave a "I understand" look, "I respect anyone's sexual orientation. β
Qiu Yang's face was red and white for a while, and he said for a long time: "I don't think Cheng Jingmo was forced by your father to marry you." β
He quickly diverted the conversation away from himself.
Yu Xiangnian said without emotion: "Then why did he marry me?" Figure my background? β
Qiu Yang nodded approvingly, "One picture of your background, and the other picture of your people." β
"Figure my people?" Yu Xiangnian asked in surprise.
Qiu Yang said: "I saw it back then, he looked at you differently, gentle and restrained, at least he had a good impression of you." β
Yu Xiangnian said: "Then he will be even more annoying!" I have a crush on me, I like someone else in a blink of an eye, and then marry me in a blink of an eye! β
Qiu Yang said: "It's not normal, you don't like him, he can't like others yet?" You have more backers than that woman, and you are willing to marry him, of course he will marry you! β
Yu Xiangnian gritted his teeth, "Men are really realistic!" β
Qiu Yang agreed, "Which man is unrealistic? β
Sun Yichuan's mother recovered well, and Yu Xiangnian finally had the opportunity to talk to Sun Yichuan's father about translation.
It just so happened that the publisher was about to translate a work in English.
Sun Yichuan's father asked Yu Xiangnian to translate a few paragraphs on the spot, and he was very satisfied.
"Comrade Yu, is he also a person who has stayed abroad?"
Yu Xiangnian said honestly: "No, I have been abroad for a while, and I usually like to read some foreign books. β
Sun Yichuan's father immediately decided to hand over this work to Yu Xiangnian for translation, and the price was two yuan per thousand words, and it was settled monthly.
Yu Xiangnian estimated that this work must have about 500,000 words, that is, 1,000 yuan.
She was happy with the price.
Sun Yichuan's father said that if this work is translated, the price can be raised in the future, and he will also introduce other publishers to her for translation.
When Yu Xiangnian heard it, he was even more motivated!
The department stores in Shanghai are much larger than those in the southern part of the city, and the variety of goods is fashionable and varied.
Yu Xiangnian bought a set of building blocks for Xiaojie, a pen for Cheng Jingmo, and bought himself a suit.
He also brought a bottle of tea produced locally in Shanghai to Yu Jiashun, bought a pair of leather shoes for Zhao Ruozhu, and gave each of the three brothers a lighter, mainly light and easy to bring.
Qiu Yang wanted to stay in Shanghai for a while longer, but he was threatened by Yu Xiangnian to return to Nancheng, and the two of them stepped on the last point in time to go back.
In the past few days, Yu Xiangnian has been pulling Qiu Yang to practice whenever he has time, just to surprise Cheng Jingmo on August 1.
