Chapter 37 Calling Home

early morning..

After running this morning, Pei Yanyan went to the village chief's house to ask for leave. She explained the reason and the village chief gave her a letter of introduction for one day.

So, the three of them walked to the town's post office early in the morning.

Although they arrived not too late, there were already more than ten people queuing up in front of them. Even though Pei Yanyan and Wang Ran were anxious, they could only wait in line obediently. After about half an hour, it was finally the turn of the three people.

Pei Yanyan dialed the familiar home phone number with trembling hands.

"Hello, please transfer me to the Pei family in Kyoto Compound." The person on the other end responded.

Within a few seconds, a voice came from the receiver.

"Hello, is that Yanyan?" Grandpa Pei's voice was a little excited.

"It's me, Grandpa. How are you and your family?"

"Okay, we are all fine. Your parents are fine. Your eldest brother and sister-in-law are also working. Your second brother is also in the army. He is in your neighboring province," said Pei's grandfather.

"My brother has joined the army." Pei Yanyan raised her voice in disbelief.

"Yes, you heard it right, Yanyan, don't be afraid, just stay well in the countryside." Grandpa Pei said earnestly. Maybe this is the last time he will hear his daughter's voice, and he doesn't know if he will see her again in the future.

"Yeah." She was strong and proud, but her voice was choked with sobs. "Grandpa, take good care of yourself."

"Okay, my dear granddaughter, don't call me again. If you have anything to say, just write me."

"I got it, Grandpa."

"Okay, then I'll hang up." Grandpa Pei hung up the phone without waiting for Pei Yanyan to react.

Pei Yanyan put down the microphone and let Wang Ran make the call, while she went to a corner to calm down.

Wang Ran on this side answered the phone.

Wang Ran's mother answered the phone and was very happy to hear her daughter's voice.

"Ranran, how are you? Are you tired?" Mother Wang's loving voice reached Wang Ran's ears through the receiver.

"Mom, it's not hard. I'm used to it." Wang Ran couldn't help but act coquettishly.

"That's good. Is the money enough? Mom will send you some banknotes tomorrow. There are also some old clothes. I saw a beautiful piece of Butterfly at the supply and marketing cooperative the other day. I will send them to you when the time comes."

"Well, thank you, Mom."

"Okay, phone calls are expensive. If you need money or tickets, just write to me and I'll send it to you when the time comes. That's it."

Wang Ran heard the beeping sound from the other end and put down the receiver.

It was Lin Xiao's turn to make a phone call. Lin Xiao was a little confused and didn't know who to call. After thinking about it, he decided to call his grandfather's house in Kyoto.

"Grandpa, I'm Lin Xiao"

"Oh, my little grandson, you actually called me"

"Yes, Grandpa, I miss you."

"Then come back to Kyoto. When do you plan to come back?" Grandpa Lin's tone sounded like Grandma Wolf tempting Little Red Riding Hood.

"Wait a few days. I want to play here for a few days."

"Okay, then I'll ask your dad to pick you up when the time comes." Grandpa Lin Xiao was overjoyed when he heard that his little grandson was planning to come back.

"Well, grandpa, I'm hanging up now."

"Okay, be good."

Lin Xiao was a little embarrassed and wondered if anyone else had heard it.

After the phone call, the three of them paid the money and went home.

After returning to the Tang family, the three of them gathered in the room again.

"Yanyan, how is your family?" Wang Ran asked.

"Maybe it's not so good." Pei Yanyan stroked her head with a headache.

"How could it be?" Wang Ran couldn't believe it. Although the Wang family and the Pei family were in the same compound, the meritorious people in the Wang family were gone, but the Pei family was different. Pei's grandfather was still alive. Although he had retired, he still had the right to speak. And he was in good health. Uncle Pei and his father also served in the army, and their ranks were higher than his father's.

Lin Xiao also didn't believe it.

"Our family has heard before that the leaders are not interested in politics now, and many people have started to take sides. Our family remains neutral now, but we don't know what will happen in the future." Pei Yanyan was worried.

"It's okay, Sister Yan. The adults at home are taking care of everything. There's nothing we can do." Wang Ran comforted her.

When Pei Yanyan heard this, she realized that this was indeed the truth. She only regretted that she had been too willful before. If she had known that her family wanted her to join the army, she should have gone, and she would not be in the dark now.
