"So you don't have to be so anxious now. Qi Tongwei obviously has nowhere to go and is running around like a headless fly.
Was it so easy to be a soldier? Did he think that he could climb up just because he was promoted to an officer?
After two years of conscription, he would realize how difficult this path was.
At that time, when he couldn't advance and had no way out, he would naturally come back to look for you.
At that time, wouldn't it be easy for you to get him to do anything?
You're my daughter, Liang Qunfeng. You can't be so impatient.”
After listening to her father's analysis, Liang Lu regained her usual confidence.
After discussing this matter, the family continued to have dinner happily, waiting quietly for Qi Tongwei to have nowhere else to go two years later.
……
He basically knew everything he needed to know about joining the army, and he also knew what he shouldn't know from others.
Only the villagers in the village who had supported Qi Tongwei to go to university knew nothing about this.
It wasn't that he had any conflicts with the villagers, but Qi Tongwei had thought about it for a few days and still hadn't thought of how to make the villagers worry less about him.
With this delay, there was less than half a month left until the end of August.
It was almost time for the medical examination notice to be issued, and Qi Tongwei could not delay it any longer.
If he were to join the army, he would not be able to return to the village for at least two years.
Moreover, the political review after the physical examination would also go to his hometown for an investigation.
At that time, even if he did not say it, his fellow villagers would know.
The villagers had to gather some money from each family to have the opportunity to leave the village and go to university. It was not appropriate for the villagers to know about this from others.
In the 1990s, it was already so troublesome for people in big cities to contact each other, let alone the small village where Qi Tongwei came from.
There was only one way to contact the villagers in his hometown, and that was to write letters to them.
The letter would take about ten days to reach his hometown. The villagers were all people who had been farming for generations and had not received any cultural education.
They had received the letter and needed to find a young man who occasionally returned to the village to read the letter. Only then would they know what Qi Tongwei wanted to say to them.
If the villagers wanted to contact Qi Tongwei, they had two choices.
The first one was to trouble the young man who helped to read the letter to write another letter and send it over.
The second option was to go to a shop in the bigger village next door that could pay for phone calls. He would then pay Qi Tongwei to make a phone call.
However, neither of these two methods was too convenient.
Therefore, ever since Qi Tongwei went to university, his contact with the villagers had become few and far between.
That afternoon, Qi Tongwei specially gave himself a break.
He had to write a letter to the villagers, telling them about his recent situation and his plans to join the army.
In order to not let them worry too much, he needed to think carefully about how to write it.
Uncles, grandpas, grandmas, aunties and aunts, I quit my job as a police officer some time ago and signed up for the conscription this summer.
I'm really ashamed that I haven't made a name for myself yet. I'm really sorry for all the help you've given me.
But I promise that I will put in all my effort this time and make a name for myself in the army so that the villagers will be proud.
Also, about the partner you mentioned last time, I think I should focus on my career now. When my career improves, I'll find a partner to bring back for you to see.
By the way, Second Uncle Ma asked me to help last time…
After that, he explained what he had instructed him to do and explained his recent situation.
Qi Tongwei folded the letter, stuffed it into the envelope, stuck a stamp on it, and wrote the detailed address and zip code on the envelope.
"Go out and mail the letter.”
Ever since he started his recovery training, Qi Tongwei felt uncomfortable all over his body when he didn't travel a few kilometers every day.
Qi Tongwei simply took the keys and envelope, put on his sneakers, and left.
Although he hadn't lived here for long, he had already figured out what was around him during the past few days of running.
He knew everything within five kilometers, including the location of the mailbox.
After warming up, Qi Tongwei ran in the direction he remembered.
On the way, he met a few familiar neighbors who greeted him as usual.
"Little Qi, you're out exercising again?"
"Uncle Liu, I'll go and send the letter."
"Oh, are you sending a letter to your family? Then go quickly. Don't wait until you get off work and they won't come to collect it today.”
"Alright, Uncle Liu. I'll go right away.”
After Qi Tongwei moved in, Uncle Liu and some of his neighbors had kindly helped him a few times, so Qi Tongwei would stop and chat with them whenever he saw them.
After saying goodbye, Qi Tongwei quickened his pace. Ten minutes later, he arrived at the mailbox closest to the dormitory building and threw the sealed letter in.
"In this way, the villagers will definitely receive the letter before the end of the month. The last difficult thing before departure has been completed.”
……
Soon, it was August 28th. There were only four days left until next month.
During this period of time, Qi Tongwei had also been persisting in his daily training without slacking off.
Ever since the pain from the wound on his leg had disappeared, he was confident that he could pass the physical examination. After all, the hard work he put in would not lie.
His friends who knew that he was going to join the army also tacitly didn't disturb him. They only said that they would have a meal together before they set off to make up for the regret of not being able to see each other for the past two years.
He had thought that he would wait patiently until the day he received the notification. Unexpectedly, in the afternoon, the beeper that had not received a new call for a few days actually rang again.
"Hmm? Who could it be?"
Qi Tongwei, who was doing strength training in the living room, was a little puzzled. Who was so free to call him at this time of the day?
After putting down the things in his hands, Qi Tongwei walked to the desk and picked up the Beeper.
In the past month and a half, he had gotten used to using this old-fashioned communication device.
He skillfully operated the Beeper and opened the unread message interface. Qi Tongwei frowned slightly as he looked at the string of numbers and fell into deep thought.
"Why does this number look a little familiar?”
Although he found it familiar, Qi Tongwei still couldn't remember whose phone number it was.
"Forget it, forget it. Let's go to the store and call back to ask.”
He picked up the towel hanging on the back of the chair and wiped the sweat from his neck and back.
Qi Tongwei changed into a clean set of clothes and left the house with his keys and the Beeper.
