As soon as the family finished breakfast that day, the staff of the subdistrict office went from door to door to notify everyone, asking each family to send someone to the subdistrict office for a meeting.
Auntie and Fen took the two little guys Yangyang and Nuannuan over with Grandma Zhang and the others. The only ones left in the family are Wei Jiajia, Xiangdong and Xiangxi, as well as Aunt Fen and Uncle Zhuzhu's old daughter, Li Xiangqing, who is just over five months old.
Li Xiangqing is the name given to her daughter by Aunt Fen. Except for the surname she took after Uncle Zhuzi, the names she took after Xiangdong and the others. Aunt Fen hoped that even if they were not related by blood, the children could grow up loving each other.
Because she is the youngest in the family, she is loved by her brothers and sisters. When several children came back from school, they would often fight to hold her in their arms. Especially Nuan Nuan, in order to spend more time with her sister, she even gave up Yang Yang, who was born with the same mother as her and was inseparable.
When Aunt Fen went out today, she didn't hug little Xiangqing because she was still sleeping. She stayed at home and let Xiangdong and Xiangxi watch her.
Xiangdong and the others took little Xiangqing into the main room and placed them in the cradle that Yangyang and Nuannuan had used when they were young. The two of them were doing their summer homework while watching the child.
Wei Jiajia saw that the arrangement between the two was going well, so she returned to her room and started writing an article. This was a habit she developed after going to college.
What she writes will be sent to the newspaper office and published in some newspapers. This will not only exercise her writing skills, but also make money by the way. Today's manuscript fees are not a small sum.
Because the address for sending and receiving letters was all at home, her family members saw that she often received letters, and when they knew that they were paid for manuscripts from newspapers, they were very supportive of her. Especially the four of them, Xiangdong, knew that articles about their sister would appear in newspapers when she was only in college, and they could make money without even having a job. They all admired her very much. Xiangdong and Xiangxi study harder than before, and they also want to be admitted to their favorite university like their sisters.
As long as everyone sees her entering the room and sitting at the desk, they will lower the volume for fear of disturbing her.
Even the youngest Yangyang and Nuannuan know not to disturb their elder sisters to make money.
In the past, Wei Jiajia went home on weekends, and the two of them were still clamoring to sleep with her sister. Now they know that she often writes at night, and after washing, she goes upstairs to sleep with her brother without being urged.
Xiangdong and Xiangxi took good care of the two little ones. They often got up at night to cover the little one who was kicking the quilt. In the more than half a year of sleeping together, Yangyang and Nuannuan never caught a cold.
When Wei Jiajia was immersed in writing, everything around her was blocked out. When she stopped writing to rest, she heard the sound of someone talking to the west outside the gate.
Putting down the pen, he opened the door and walked out, just in time to see Xiang Xi closing the door and walking in.
"Is anyone here? I heard you talking to someone." Wei Jiajia looked to the west.
"It's the postman. He said he has your telegram, sent from Nanshi." Xiangxi heard his eldest sister's question and quickly handed over the telegram in his hand.
Seeing the smile on his eldest sister's face, Xiang Xi raised a mischievous smile on his face: "Brother Haoyu must be missing you. You two are really tired of each other in one day. Several letters a month are not enough, and now you still have to do it." Need to send a telegram."
Wei Jiajia reached out and took the telegram. Listening to her brother's teasing, she raised her fist and waved it in the air a few times, silently threatening this little boy.
Xiangxi understood what his sister meant, shut his mouth tightly, shook his head and gave in very quickly.
She looked at this kid who was playing tricks, shook her head and smiled, then ignored him and turned back to the room with the telegram.
I sat at my desk and opened the telegram. There were only three words on it: "Late call."
Wei Jiajia "..."
Looking at the three words above, I was a little speechless. Fortunately, she was smart.
The last time she wrote a letter, she told him that her school was on holiday. He must have known that she was at home after receiving the letter and asked her to call their school at six o'clock in the evening.
When he wrote a letter before, he also said that if she had anything to do, she should call him at this time. As long as he didn't leave school, he could pick her up. However, the two of them communicated frequently, so it was basically unnecessary.
Wei Jiajia looked at the telegram in his hand and felt that something had happened that was not convenient to mention in the letter and that he needed to send a special telegram.
I looked up at the sky and saw that it was almost noon. I thought there was no point in worrying about this now. I would know what was going on if I called at night, so I put down the telegram and got up and went to the kitchen to prepare lunch.
When I came out, I saw that Xiao Xiangqing was already awake, looking around with her dark eyes open, with tears hanging from the corners of her eyes, looking pitiful if she wasn't crying.
Xiang Xi stood beside the cradle, playing with a rattle and coaxing her, "Don't cry, don't cry."
Xiang Dong poured water from a thermos bottle into a glass milk bottle. He knew at a glance that he was preparing to make milk powder for his child.
This milk bottle was taken out by Wei Jiajia from the Space Supermarket. It is a very simple and ordinary milk bottle, and it does not look out of place at all now. When I gave it to Aunt Fen, I told her that it was a palaipin bought with the help of a classmate.
Everyone in the family knew that Wei Jiajia had classmates who could get some strange things, so they were not too surprised when she saw her taking out a baby bottle. After all, they were sold at the Friendship Store, and they just needed overseas remittance coupons, so they didn't ask any questions.
Wei Jiajia teased the child for a while, then Xiangdong soaked the milk powder and brought it over. She tested the temperature and it was just right. Seeing that the two of them were taking good care of the children, Xiang Qing also liked her two brothers very much. She ate the milk bottle in Xiang Xi's arms without crying or fussing, and then went to the kitchen to make lunch without any worries.
Wei Jiajia was about to finish cooking when her aunt and others came back from the meeting. Yangyang and Nuannuan were walking in front. When they entered the house, there was a smell coming from the kitchen. They knew it was their sister cooking and jumped into the kitchen.
Seeing how greedy the two of them were, Wei Jiajia knew that everyone was hungry, so she didn't ask her aunt about their meeting, and asked everyone to wash their hands and eat, and talk about anything after dinner.
After dinner, my aunt and the others talked about the content of this street meeting.
Just like what Wei Jiajia and Su Pan said at school last time, they are also starting to build public canteens here. The government calls on people to eat in large canteens in the future, so they don't have to cook at home, and food doesn't need to be distributed per household. After purchasing, you only need to register the number of people. This also frees up women's hands, so that everyone can better contribute to society.
However, because their street has too many people and there is no space to cook for so many people at once, the street decided to organize people to build their own canteen and then recruit a few more people who can cook. This meeting was also held to decide on the personnel. .
Aunt Fen was selected by the canteen because of her young age and good cooking skills. She was given a salary of twelve yuan a month and other vouchers.
Aunt Fen was very happy when she talked about this. Although the salary is not high, it is better than staying at home. When the time comes, let her take care of the children at home while she goes to work. It is always good for more than one person to earn wages.
When Wei Jiajia heard the news, she thought that what was supposed to come had finally come. The big canteen was built, and soon followed by the steel-making. At that time, she had to hide some of the iron products at home. The canteen could not be disbanded in the end, and the family was still connected. There isn't even a pot for cooking.
She doesn't have many pure iron pots in her space. Most of them are made of aluminum or stainless steel, and they can't be taken out for use now.
At around five o'clock in the evening, Wei Jiajia estimated that it was almost time, so she went out to the post office to call Qiao Haoyu.
There were people on duty at the public phone at the post office at six o'clock, and since there weren't many people calling, she dialed the number Qiao Haoyu wrote to her without queuing up.
"Du~du~du~" After a few beeps, a male voice sounded on the other end of the phone.
"Hello? Hello, who are you looking for?"
"Hello, I'm looking for Qiao Haoyu from your school's command department. Please help me call him to pick up the phone. Thank you."
The person on duty on the other end of the phone heard a slightly cold female voice saying that he was looking for Qiao Haoyu, and he immediately sat up straight.
It's true that Qiao Haoyu is so famous. He ranks at the top of his school in all aspects and his overall strength is very strong. There are not many people in the school who don't know about him. I have never seen him get close to any woman before, and this is the first time a lesbian has called him.
"Who are you? Do you have anything to do with Qiao Haoyu?" the comrade on duty continued to ask.
When Wei Jiajia heard this question, she quickly replied: "I am Qiao Haoyu's fiancée. Sorry, comrade. I'll call back in ten minutes."
When the comrade on the other end of the phone heard Wei Jiajia say that she was Qiao Haoyu's fiancée, his pupils were a little larger than before in shock. He excitedly pulled the comrades beside him, and was still responding to Wei Jiajia.
After hanging up the phone, the gay man whose sleeve was being pulled asked: "Whose phone number is it? Why do you become like this after just answering the phone?"
When the comrade who answered the phone heard the question next to him, he came back to his senses and said excitedly: "Qiao Haoyu's fiancée is Qiao Haoyu from the command department." After speaking, he excitedly pulled the sleeves of the person next to him and shook him a few times.
The man was a little curious when he heard what he said. They were all freshmen, and Qiao Haoyu was a role model to them.
The opponent had already achieved several third-class achievements when he was in school. Not only was he excellent in cultural classes, but even in daily training, few people could defeat him. Boys are all very strong, especially those who serve in the military. Qiao Haoyu is the idol of their generation.
Wei Jiajia hung up the phone and looked at the watch to calculate the time. When the time came, he picked up the phone and called again.
"Hello, Jiajia?"
Wei Jiajia heard Qiao Haoyu's voice coming from the other end of the phone. The low voice rang in her ears, making her feel dazed for a moment. Although the two of them had never stopped communicating, her heart still trembled when she heard his voice again after a year.
He tensed up and replied quickly: "It's me, have you eaten?"
"After eating, I figured you would call me today. I'll be waiting after eating early." Qiao Haoyu was in a surprisingly good mood at the moment.
He leaned against the wall and spoke softly to the person on the other side of the phone, with a smile on his lips. The two comrades who were still in the duty room were stunned. They didn't expect that the legendary cold-faced king was there. Such a side.
"What are you talking about? Did something happen? You didn't mention it in last week's letter." Wei Jiajia asked curiously.
Ever since she received the telegram, she had gone through all the situations in her mind. She really couldn't think of any reason why she was so urgent and needed to call for explanation.
When Qiao Haoyu heard Wei Jiajia's question, he laughed in a low voice, and then coughed to cover up: "I just miss you and want to hear your voice."
When she heard Qiao Haoyu's love words through the phone line, her face turned red for a moment. She looked around guiltily and only felt relieved when she saw nothing.
Somewhat angry, he whispered: "What nonsense are you talking about! Be careful not to be overheard by others."
There was a hint of coquettishness in the voice that I didn't even know, and the cold tone seemed to be where Qiao Haoyu found his own sweetness.
"How much candy have you eaten today? Your mouth is so sweet. It doesn't look like you anymore. I heard from Zeng Guoqiang that you were not like this in school."
Qiao Haoyu smiled and didn't refute. In front of her, he didn't need to eat sweets, and his love talk skills were automatically unlocked.
He didn't say anything that made Wei Jiajia blush. It was not very convenient to have people on duty around, so he preferred to say some things in front of her.
