"Both of us are going out, and we happen to be taking our children out for a walk. We have to pack some of the children's things. Don't be idle. Give Boss Qiao and Qiao Erqiang a call and inform them too.
"
Niu Ye is actually not that anxious about returning to Lao Qiao's house. No matter what, if he rushes there now, he will definitely not be able to catch up with Qiao Simei.
So they packed up the things in a leisurely manner, and then the two of them hugged their children, left the house, and rushed to Lao Qiao's house.
"Qiqi, when was the last time you saw Fourth Sister?"
When we returned to Lao Qiao's house, Qiao Qiqi was the only one at home, and Qiao Zuwang was still missing every day.
Even if Niu Ye and San Li were not in such a hurry when they came back, they would still come back before Qiao Yicheng and Qiao Erqiang.
Qiao Yicheng had a lot of things to do, whether at work or at home, and he couldn't act so quickly.
Qiao Erqiang's restaurant is at its busiest during dinner time. He has to send away all the restaurant's customers before he can have time to come over.
"Third sister, when I went to school in the morning, I saw fourth sister."
After hearing Qiqi's reply, Sanli went straight to Simei's room.
"Qiqi, have you eaten?"
It was not convenient for Niu Ye to enter Simei's room when Simei was not there. So he started chatting with Qiao Qiqi in the main room.
"I haven't eaten yet."
"If your fourth sister doesn't cook at home, won't you go out to eat by yourself?" Niu Ye asked. "Do you have no money?"
Among the five children of the Qiao family, Qiao Qiqi had the most pocket money as a child.
After Qiao Qiqi grows up, the other children in the Qiao family will also be able to make money.
The children in the Qiao family all know how much children wish they had pocket money.
Several brothers and sisters will give Qiao Qiqi some pocket money every month, so Qiao Qiqi is not short of money to spend. When Qiao Simei is not around, she often goes out to eat in restaurants on the street.
matter.
"Well, I have no money. My money was borrowed by the fourth sister."
Qiao Qiqi lowered his head and said. Niu Ye finally knew why Qiao Qiqi called Sanli.
Without eating, the child will definitely be starving. This is the time when a child of sixteen or seventeen years old can eat quickly.
"Qiao Qiqi, you are too honest. Even if your fourth sister asks you to borrow money, you should at least keep some for yourself. You don't even have enough money to buy a meal." Niu Ye handed the child to him.
Qiao Qiqi held it, took out her wallet, took out two hundred bills, handed them to Qiqi and said:
"Here you go, go to the street and buy something you like to eat, and then buy two portions of duck blood vermicelli soup, wontons, sesame seed cakes, etc., and bring some back. If your eldest brother and second brother come over, they may not be able to eat.
of."
After Qiqi went out, Niu Ye went to the kitchen to boil a pot of water and was waiting to make milk powder for the child. Looking at the situation today, it would take quite a while at Qiao's house today.
"Brother Niu, look at Simei's letter and his partner's phone number."
After waiting for about ten minutes, Sanli came out of Simei's room.
In his hand were several envelopes and a piece of paper with a phone number written on it.
"Although Sanli and Simei are gone, I read the letter she wrote and it seems inappropriate."
"Oh, Brother Niu, don't be kidding me. I didn't let you see the letters they wrote. I asked you to see the mailing address of Sanli's partner."
"Okay, I saw it. It's in Tibet. Although it doesn't count to the frontier, it's not too far off."
After Niu Ye took the letter and read it, he found that this place was really far away, only one or two hundred kilometers away from the border.
"This is the phone number of Sanli's target unit." Sanli also handed over the note in her hand.
"Even if Simei does go to the border, she will definitely not be able to reach the army now. The army's phone number will not be called today. It is getting late, so don't cause trouble to other troops."
Qiao Simei wanted to go to the frontier, and with the little money she had, which she probably had accumulated over the past few months after having the idea, it was absolutely impossible to fly with this little money.
Maybe he didn't have enough money to take the train, so Qiao Simei lent all of Qiao Qiqi's pocket money.
With the speed of the green trains in this era, if all the transfer conditions go smoothly, it will take five days and five nights from Nanjing to the Tibetan border.
This morning, Qiao Qiqi also saw Qiao Simei. Now Qiao Simei might not be able to leave Jiangsu, so there is no need to call the army.
"Brother Niu, look at this again."
After finishing, Sanli handed Niuye another piece of manuscript paper.
"Dad, eldest brother, second brother, sister, Qiqi, I am going to pursue my love. I am going to get married. After the marriage, I will come back. Don't think about it!"
Qiao Simei
"Where did you find this?"
After seeing Qiao Simei's letter, there was really no need to doubt that Qiao Simei went to the frontier.
"It's on the desk in Simei's room. How can Simei be so brave and dare to go to such a far place?" Sanli said with a worried look.
"Your father has already said that Qiao Simei will follow him and make a real career from an early age."
When Qiao Simei was seven years old, she could run back from Nanjing alone.
When I just graduated from junior high school, I dared to go to Beijing with a few classmates to watch Fei Xiang's concert.
Now that I am in my twenties, it is not surprising that I dare to go to the frontier alone.
According to Qiao Simei's development trajectory, if it hadn't been for the unexpected marriage, Qiao Simei would have gone abroad next.
"Brother, you are back."
While the two were talking, Qiao Yicheng also hurriedly returned to Qiao's house.
"Well, I'm back." Qiao Yicheng nodded in response.
"Brother, Simei..."
"What does Qiao Simei want to do? I called her work. She asked for a month's marriage leave at the work, saying that she was going to the border to find her partner to get married. She is not old enough to get married, so her work unit will not grant her one month's marriage leave.
Qiao Simei still disagreed. She said that her partner was a frontier soldier and she was a military wife, so she asked her work unit to issue a letter of introduction for marriage and gave her a month's wedding leave."
When Qiao Yicheng spoke, Niu Ye could easily tell that Qiao Yicheng was tired. If Qiao Simei had been calm for a while, something big would happen.
"Brother, look at these beautiful things."
Sanli gave the envelope, manuscript paper, and note to Qiao Yicheng to read again.
Niu Ye didn't pay attention just now. Qiao Simei kept all the letters Qi Chenggang sent back one by one. There were seven or eight letters. According to the frequency of one letter per month, it had been at least half a year.
