Aunt Zhao was also quietly wiping her tears on the other end of the phone.
The Zhao couple's love for Qi Tongwei was more like a parent's love for their child. It was selfless and without any impurities.
It was only now that Qi Tongwei understood the feelings the Zhao couple had for him.
"Uncle Zhao, Auntie, don't worry. I'll take good care of myself.”
After some more family gossip, Uncle Zhao and Aunt Zhao reluctantly hung up the phone.
Once the call ended, who knew when the next call would be?
Qi Tongwei took a few deep breaths after he hung up the phone to calm down.
After her eyes turned red, she stood up and went to pay the boss.
"Brother, how much is it?"
The shop was only that big, and the boss heard Qi Tongwei's conversation on the phone intermittently.
The boss, who was also not a native of Handong Province, could empathize with Qi Tongwei's feelings at the moment, so he waved his hand and said generously.
"Don't give me money this time. I haven't been back in a long time. If you have time, go home more often.”
Seeing that his boss also had a hint of nostalgia in his eyes, Qi Tongwei did not stand on ceremony with him.
"Okay, thank you, brother. I'll be leaving first.”
"Alright, take care."
……
On the way home, Qi Tongwei had already calmed down.
Now that he had talked to the hardest person to talk to, he could start preparing for the next few days while training.
Qi Tongwei had no idea what he could bring into the army in the 1990s, so he had specially run to the office during his training.
He asked about the things that he could bring and the things that he could not bring.
He also asked if there was anything special that he needed to pay attention to in case he didn't understand anything after enlisting.
When the staff member heard Qi Tongwei's question, he thought that he had heard wrongly.
This was the first time she had seen someone come to ask what they could bring before they received the medical examination notice.
Although she felt that this person was more or less too confident. If she did not receive the notice, wouldn't she be happy for nothing?
However, her professionalism prevented her from saying anything more. She still told Qi Tongwei everything in detail.
Qi Tongwei, who was a top student, had already memorized everything the staff member said after listening to it once.
After thanking the staff politely, Qi Tongwei ran back again.
Since he couldn't finish today's training, he was going to put everything he needed into a backpack.
After packing up, he placed it on the cabinet at the door and could take it away at any time.
Initially, Qi Tongwei thought that he could only bring some basic daily necessities, such as toothbrushes, toothpaste, towels, underwear, socks, and so on.
He didn't expect to be able to bring exam-related books, such as flutes, harmonicas, and other musical instruments.
They could also bring their own casual clothes in case they had nothing to wear after leaving the military camp, causing unnecessary embarrassment.
However, it was useless to bring more. They were going to be soldiers, not to go on a runway show. Not only did they have no chance to change out of so many clothes, but he also heard that even the cooks were men. Who would they wear them for?
On the way home, Qi Tongwei had already made a list of things he needed to bring.
After going upstairs and opening the door, she took out the backpack that she hadn't used for a long time from the cabinet.
Then, she put all the things she had bought over the past few days into this backpack.
Although there were only a few items when they were separated, after putting them all into the backpack, it was quite full.
Just in case, Qi Tongwei had put ten sets of underwear and socks in his personal belongings.
He thought that it wouldn't be a problem to bring more of these two things, right?
At most, if he exceeded it, he could just take out more.
Just like that, the only relaxing afternoon quietly passed while he was packing.
……
After that day, Qi Tongwei waited for a whole week before he received the long-awaited medical examination notice.
This medical examination notice was sent over by the person in charge of the management culture of their residential area.
No matter which era it was, the people were very kind to soldiers. Qi Tongwei had a very intuitive feeling about this phenomenon at this moment.
Qi Tongwei, who was having dinner at home, immediately went to open the door when he heard someone knocking on the door.
Just as he had guessed, there was indeed a person standing at the door with an envelope in his hand.
From the moment Qi Tongwei opened the door, the smile on this lady's face had never faded.
The big sister asked with a smile.
"Is it Qi Tongwei?"
Qi Tongwei had long guessed the purpose of this big sister's visit, so he calmly nodded and replied.
"Yes, I am Qi Tongwei."
"That's easy. This is the medical examination notice sent by the army. I hope you can pass the medical examination and political examination smoothly and become a glorious soldier of the people.”
With a smile on her face, the eldest sister gave Qi Tongwei her best wishes.
This kindness for no reason was because he was about to become a soldier of the Dragon Country.
That was because the people of the Dragon Country unconditionally believed in the people who sheltered them from the wind and rain no matter what the situation was!
To be honest, it would be a lie if he wasn't moved. Even a person with a heart as firm as a rock would be moved by such a military-civilian relationship.
What he felt tonight made him even more determined to join the army.
"Thank you, big sister.”
"Haha, you must work hard.
If you can successfully pass, then all the neighbors in our entire area will be happy.”
Qi Tongwei also had a kind smile on his face.
"Okay, if I pass the physical examination and political review, I'll definitely let you know.”
The big sister waved her hand and said.
"No need, no need. If you pass, our community will send a document. I'll know directly through the document, so you don't have to come back.
I see that you're still eating? Then I'll leave first and not disturb you.”
"Okay, big sister. I'll send you off.”
Qi Tongwei was about to put on his shoes and send his eldest sister off, but who knew that his eldest sister would push the door open with all her might, and a bright voice could be heard through the door.
"No need, no need. You eat. Don't let it get cold. I live on the second floor of the next building. If you need anything, just come and find me.”
Only Qi Tongwei, who was still squatting on the ground and preparing to put on his shoes, was left standing there.
He really didn't expect his sister to be so energetic even though she didn't look fat.
The door made a loud bang, so loud that Qi Tongwei's ears were ringing.
