Chen Muye glared at Wen Qimo.
Wen Qimo said seriously: "Madam, this is the case. Lin Qiye had previously applied to go to Qiqihar, but later he obeyed the deployment and went to Urumqi."
My aunt was skeptical, "What about his documents?"
Wen Qimo took out several thick stacks of documents from his briefcase, placed them on the table one by one, and pushed them in front of his aunt.
"Lin Qiye's documents are all here, please keep them." Wen Qimo thought for a moment and continued, "There may be some more documents coming later, and we will visit you then."
My aunt squinted her eyes, held the document far away, and read it word by word, fearing that she would miss any important information.
After a long time, she put the document down and let out a long sigh.
"His eyesight has just improved. I'm afraid something will go wrong during his time in the army..."
"Please rest assured, we have done a detailed examination of Lin Qiye's eyes. There will be no other problems. He is very healthy." Wen Qimo's voice gradually softened. "Besides, when children grow up, they should be allowed to leave the wings of the family and hone their skills, right?"
My aunt opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she could only sigh helplessly.
"Ma'am, here is the subsidy for Lin Qiye to join the army. Please accept it." Chen Muye took out a thick envelope and pushed it in front of his aunt.
My aunt lifted a corner of the envelope, her whole body trembled, and she looked at the two of them in shock:
"This... This is too much, right?!"
"The country now provides very good welfare for soldiers, and the team Lin Qiye is in is relatively special, so the subsidies are relatively higher than other places." Wen Qimo explained.
"Special? There won't be any danger, right?" Aunt's face changed.
"No, the special thing here is that... he is quite far away." Wen Qimo said nonsense seriously, "After all, it takes a long time to get from here to Urumuqi."
"So that's how it is." My aunt held the envelope in her hand, fidgeting.
It was the first time she had seen so much money.
"Comrade, can you please send this money to him?" Auntie asked worriedly, "What will he do if he goes to such a far place alone without any money? And I don't feel at ease leaving so much money at home!"
"The army doesn't need so much money, and we have regulations that this money is for family members. Please be sure to accept it." Wen Qimo narrowed his eyes slightly, and his voice gradually became serious.
"As for safety... Don't worry, as long as we are here, no one can touch you."
"So when will he come back?"
"Ten years." Chen Muye suddenly spoke, his eyes full of seriousness, "Ten years later, he will definitely come back."
"Ten years..." Auntie muttered these two words, looked back at Yang Jin, and murmured to herself: "Ten years later, Ah Jin should be in college..."
Wen Qimo and Chen Muye chatted with their aunt for a while, and when the time was almost up, they got up and said goodbye.
"By the way, can you make phone calls there?" Aunt suddenly thought of something.
"Of course." Wen Qimo nodded, "I'll give you a call later. You can contact him as long as it's not training time."
"Okay, okay."
My aunt saw the two of them off, then stood alone at the door for a while before slowly going back to the house and sitting down, staring blankly at the room that belonged to Lin Qiye.
Her eyes gradually turned red.
"Mom... it's a good thing that my brother is joining the army." Yang Jin walked forward holding little Heila and comforted him.
"Mom knows." Aunt wiped her eyes, "When children grow up, they will have to go out and see the world. It is indeed a good thing for them to hone their skills in the army.
When he comes back, he will be considered a veteran. When mom looks for a wife for him, there will definitely be many people vying for her! "
Yang Jin: …
"Mom just... can't let go of her worries." My aunt looked out the window, lost in thought.
…
"time to go."
Chen Muye walked downstairs, patted Lin Qiye who was secretly staring at the window, and said.
Lin Qiye stared at his aunt on the balcony and asked softly, "How is it?"
"She believed it."
"That's good... have you given the money?"
"I gave it to them." Chen Muye paused, "That's all your subsidies and overdrawn salary for one year. If you give it all to them, what will you do?"
"I have saved some money over the years, so if I use it sparingly, I will be able to get by for a year."
Seeing this, Chen Muye was silent for a moment, and added: "If you have nothing to do, you can come to the office for dinner."
Lin Qiye asked in astonishment: "Don't temporary team members have to provide food and lodging?"
"Temporary team members do not have food and lodging provided, but..." Chen Muye patted his shoulder and walked towards the van not far away.
"Except for the meals I cook myself."
Lin Qiye was stunned, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Ding Ling Ling!
At this moment, the new cell phone in Lin Qiye's pocket rang.
"Hello?"
"Xiao Qi? Is it Xiao Qi?"
"It's me, aunt."
"You kid, why didn't you tell me that you wanted to join the army? If you wanted to go... I wouldn't stop you! Don't you consider me your aunt? Huh?"
"I'm sorry, auntie... I, I was wrong."
"Um... on the train?"
"Um."
"How long will it take to get there?"
"I heard it will take two days. The little green man is a bit slow."
"After you go to the military camp, you must eat more. You can't overwork yourself!"
"I know, auntie."
"Also, I have received all your subsidies. I will put them aside for you to use when you come back and marry a wife."
"Aunt, our army has very good treatment and we get a lot of money every year. You can use that money first."
"You kid, you don't know how to save money at all. Keep the money for yourself and make sure you live a better life. Do you hear me?"
"Yes, aunt."
"Well, nothing else, I'll hang up now."
"Okay, bye, auntie."
"By the way... When you get to Qiqihal, remember to report to your aunt that you are safe."
"I will. Goodbye, auntie."
There was silence on the other end of the phone for a long time before my aunt's slightly hoarse voice sounded again.
"See you… "
Beep, beep, beep…
There was a busy tone on the other end of the phone. My aunt held the phone tightly, sitting there like a sculpture, motionless.
Then, two lines of hot tears flowed from her eyes.
She slowly lay on the table, buried her face in her shoulders, and cried silently...
On the side, Yang Jin sighed softly.
He turned his head and looked out the window, muttering to himself:
"Brother, you are such an idiot..."
…
Outside the old residential area.
"Qiye, it's time to go." Chen Muye turned around and said calmly.
Lin Qiye put away his phone, took one last look at the low house in the distance, and hummed.
A strong wind is rising.
The black hair on Lin Qiye's forehead was blown slightly. He reached out to tighten his collar, turned around and walked into the wind.
Their clothes rustled!
