"Alright, alright, I'll go right now," Qiao Zhiyuan cheerfully lifted his leg and walked away.
"Then I'll go to the team office to make a phone call."
When he reached the team office, Qiao Zhiyuan opened the door to the office where the telephone was located, knowing his niece was calling He Xiuyu and not wanting others to disturb her, he prepared to close the door.
However, Qiao Qingyu instructed Qiao Zhiyuan, "Uncle, come to my house tonight."
Qiao Zhiyuan nodded in agreement, then closed the door.
Qiao Qingyu returned from the riverbank around midnight, so she didn't call He Xiuyu. He might be in his office at that time, but he could also be in the workshop. She decided to try her luck.
As it happened, Qiao Qingyu's luck was good, and indeed, He Xiuyu answered the phone. Qiao Qingyu first told him about her mother's turn from danger to safety, to which He Xiuyu on the other end of the line expressed surprise, involuntarily asking, "Did she suddenly get better?"
