He Zhilan and He Teng were close to each other so they both heard the voice on the phone. She laughed and called into the phone as well, "Dad! Dongxue! It's Zhilan, I'm with my brother at his army base!"
He Zhongguo was quite startled when he heard Zhilan's voice on the phone. He Dongxue, however, reacted quickly, pulling his sleeve with excitement, "Dad, Sister Zhilan is with brother at the army base! Why did Sister Zhilan go to brother's army base?"
"Dad, Zhilan is on a National Day break, so I told her to spend a few days here at the base. She's right here. You might want to say something to her." He Teng quickly explained and then handed the phone to He Zhilan.
He Zhilan took the phone, her face all smiles, resembling a sunflower in bloom. She had been away from home for so long and deeply missed her family.
"Dad, it's me, Zhilan. Dad, do you miss me? Dongxue? Do you both miss me?"
