"Okay, just call your elder brother and tell him that the matter has been settled. When the next recruitment is called, just send An Chen directly."
For Li Jie, sending someone to serve as a soldier is not difficult, it is just a phone call away.
"So fast?"
An Xin was somewhat surprised to see the result so soon.
"It's not that difficult."
Li Jie smiled slightly. It was normal for An Xin to be surprised. After all, due to confidentiality regulations, An Xin did not know many situations.
"I'm going to make a call right now."
As she spoke, An Xin stood up suddenly, but after taking a few steps, she stopped again.
"Forget it, I'd better go there myself."
When one person serves as a soldier, the whole family is honored. This is not a slogan, but a real honor and a bright future.
Naturally, it would be better to tell this kind of thing in person.
Li Jie nodded: "Okay, go ahead and remember to come back early."
"Ok, I know."
An Xin smiled. Although the current situation is a little better than in previous years, the situation at the eldest brother's house is not good.
If she stayed at her eldest brother's house to eat, the eldest brother's family would have to live frugally for a while.
An Tai works alone and it is not easy to feed a family.
Therefore, An Xin did not plan to stay at her eldest brother's house for dinner. Not only that, she also planned to bring some things to the house.
After a while, An Xin went out carrying large and small bags.
After seeing off his wife, Li Jie stayed with the children for a while. After the children took a nap, he went to the study.
The area of the study room is not large, about less than twenty square meters, and a few bookshelves take up more than ten square meters. After excluding the space for office chairs, the remaining area is already very small.
Walking to his desk, Li Jie picked up the topic on the red phone and made a call.
"Hey, I'm Ouyang Yi, please help me transfer to the Songshan Island defense area."
In the 1970s, telephones were still a rarity. The penetration rate of telephones nationwide was only 0.38%. They were basically only available in work units, and they had to meet certain standards.
As the director of Daocheng Research Institute, Li Jie's standards are definitely adequate.
beep!
beep!
It took a long time before the call was successfully transferred.
"Hello, this is the Songshan Island garrison area. Who is this?"
A sonorous male voice came from the microphone.
"This is the Daocheng Research Institute. Please transfer me to Jiang Defu."
"Okay, I'll transfer you to Commander Jiang."
Upon hearing the call from Daocheng Research Institute, the other end of the phone quickly replied.
For the operator, the 'Daocheng Research Institute' is a relatively familiar unit, because calls come in basically every month, and the person they call is Commander Jiang.
Many years have passed, Jiang Defu has been transferred from the post of chief of general staff, and now he is the commander of the garrison area, brackets, positive.
beep!
beep!
This time, the call came through quickly.
"Hello?"
"Lao Jiang, it's me."
On the other end of the phone, Jiang Defu suddenly smiled when he heard this familiar voice.
"It's Lao Ou. You're such a busy person, why do you have time to call me today?"
Jiang Defu's words were obviously ridiculing. Although An Xin and An Jie hadn't seen each other for a long time, the communication between them had not stopped.
As soon as he heard Jiang Defu's strange behavior, Li Jie instantly understood that this guy had probably heard something from An Jie.
An Xin felt a little emotional since she hadn't been home for such a long time. This was normal. It was also normal to talk to her sister about it.
Humans always have mood swings.
"Commander Jiang, you have to be careful what you say, otherwise, I will come here right now and educate you."
"OK."
"I'm always at your service."
As soon as he heard this, Jiang Defu suddenly became happy, he thought to himself.
'You're so busy that you don't even go home, how can you have time to come to Songshan Island? '
"Then wash your neck quickly and we'll take the boat tomorrow."
"What?"
Hearing this sentence, Jiang Defu's voice became a little louder.
He was just enjoying the pleasure of talking, and he didn't even want to accept the challenge.
After all, he is not young anymore, and his drinking capacity is no longer what it used to be, but this guy Ouyang is different.
This guy is becoming more and more demonic, and his drinking capacity has not only not decreased, but has increased.
The last time they met, Jiang Defu experienced another deep drunkenness.
After a while, Jiang Defu said in shock.
"Old Ou, are you serious?"
"of course it's true."
Li Jie laughed: "I was too busy some time ago and finally took a long vacation, so I just wanted to go to your place to ask for a few drinks."
"What, Commander Jiang, your tone doesn't sound very welcoming?"
"Welcome, welcome, how can you not welcome!"
Jiang Defu said with joy on his face: "We haven't seen each other for so long, you must come, don't let it slip like last time!"
"Last time, I prepared all the wine, but you poured it and let me go."
"Haha, it won't happen this time!"
Two years ago, Li Jie was going to take An Xin and the children to Songshan Island, but the boss happened to assign him a temporary task at that time.
Then, the trip to Songshan Island came to nothing.
"Then it's a deal!"
Jiang Defu laughed loudly and said: "If Anjie knew the news of your arrival, he might be very happy."
This is indeed true. The eldest and second eldest children of the Jiang family joined the army one after another. Once they left, although there were three children at home, it became much deserted.
"How is Weidong now? Have you contacted your family?"
Some time ago, Li Jie heard An Xin mention that Wei Dong had trouble with his family when he left.
The reason for the quarrel was simple. When Old David was serving in the army, Jiang Defu took him to the shooting range and took family photos together.
But when we arrived in Weidong, the target practice was gone, and the family photos were gone.
This treatment is obviously different to the naked eye. Wei Dong is a child again, so he is naturally unhappy.
Anjie also said in her letter that she actually regretted it later. Maybe Wei Dong was really angry. After arriving in the army, he not only reported to his family that he was safe, but never contacted his family again.
Jiang Defu couldn't help but sigh when he mentioned Weidong.
"It's still the same as before."
"If you ask me, this kid is just being pretentious. He's just not shooting at the target. When he goes to the army, he can be beaten until he vomits."
"There is also the matter of family portraits. Family portraits, family portraits. Only when the whole family is taken together can it be called a family portrait. His eldest brother is not here, so why take a family portrait?"
Boom!
Boom!
At this time, the study door suddenly rang, and then Sister Ma's voice came from outside the door.
"Sir, we have a visitor."
"Come here."
After replying, Li Jie and Jiang Defu said hello.
"Lao Jiang, that's it for today. I have a guest here. Let's talk later."
