"When you meet, you must salute first, and the speed of saluting should be slowed down to about two seconds..."

"When the notice is sent out, hold it with both hands and bow before sending it out..."

……

In Daming, everything has its corresponding process.

There is also a corresponding process for the delivery of the death notice. This process is not bad, not too many steps, but each step is extremely formal and full of respect for the fallen soldiers.

Because they were not proficient, they practiced again before leaving the office.

The whole process cannot be missed in one step!

Why can't it be one step closer?
Because for the families of fallen soldiers, any mistakes are unacceptable.After all, their families died on the battlefield!

If something like sending a notice is wrong, then that's the so-called respect.But it really became the so-called respect.

So some things can never go wrong.

……

When Dai Shiping, who was wearing a long-sleeved formal uniform, and his comrade-in-arms Qian Youyong rode their bicycles into the Xingfuyuan community, the people nearby had already noticed him. People who were sitting in the community park all stood up and looked at him. .

January is the summer in the southern hemisphere, the hottest time of the year, and it is definitely not a good thing to have two soldiers in formal uniforms come to your door at this time.While the women were whispering, some women whose family members served in the army all changed their expressions slightly. They hugged their children one after another, looked at the two soldiers, and watched where he was going.

"Whose family?"

"It seems to be at Building 12."

"It's Hu..."

Before some women could breathe a sigh of relief, there was the sound of women crying in the park, and a woman ran over there like crazy.

"It's the daughter-in-law of the Hu family, and she lives in the second unit of building 12..."

After stopping in unit one, Dai Shiping looked at the unit number,

"That's it!"

When he tied up the bicycle, he turned around and Qian Youyong helped each other tidy up their military appearance. They each wiped their sweat with handkerchiefs before they nodded.

"Okay, let's go up..."

When they were about to go upstairs, the woman who came running not far away sat down on the ground, crying. She sat there in a daze after her crying stopped, watching the two soldiers enter the third unit.

No, not her man!

The woman with tears on her face didn't even know for a while, how should she describe her mood, is it lucky?Are you happy, or...

When the woman was sitting on the ground in a daze, several women ran over after her.

"Sister Li, what's the matter, this is..."

"He, they went to the third unit, yes, yes... it's Jia Fu..."

"Kafu, her daughter-in-law Yumi is still pregnant..."

"That's right, how good is this!"

"Well, let's go together...see if there is anything we can help with."

"That's right, I want to go there, I have to go and have a look..."

When the women handed over their children to others and walked towards Unit [-], Dai Shiping and Qian Youyong, who had already reached the third floor, stood by the door, took a deep breath, and then gently knocked on the door knocker. Behind the door there was the faint cry of a child.

"Hey!"

While sighing, Dai Shiping heard voices outside the door.

"Who?"

The man's Chinese was a bit blunt, and when the door opened, a young woman of short stature came into view.

"You are?"

Yumi looked at the two soldiers.

"Excuse me, is this Ms. Chang Yumei Chang?"

After receiving an affirmative answer, Dai Shiping immediately stood at attention, and then slowly gave a military salute.

"Dear Ms. Chang, please allow me to express my sincere gratitude to you on behalf of the Imperial Army Department..."

what……

Next, Chang Youmei no longer knew what the other party was talking about. She was stunned, and tears rolled down her face in an instant.

"How could it be, how could it be like this, how could it be..."

The moment she leaned against the door softly and was about to slip, the neighbor's woman had already stepped forward to help her up.

Looking at the death notice that was held in front of her with both hands, she had no expression in her eyes, but when she was about to stretch out her hand, she suddenly retracted it.It seems that as long as the letter is not accepted, the husband will not die.

"Ms. Chang, if you need any help, you can write to the Ministry of the Army and the local military service office at any time. We will provide all the help within our capacity. Your husband's pension will be delivered to your door by me within three days... ..."

All of these are procedures and corresponding regulations. Is it unkind?

The seemingly blunt words are actually caring for the bereaved family. In Daming, there will be no difference because of the rank of the army. They were soldiers of the empire before they were alive, and they are equal after death - they are all loyal to the empire.

Finally, Yumi accepted the letter. After receiving the letter, she hugged the letter tightly in her arms, just like she hugged him tightly when her husband left half a year ago. It once brought her infinite warmth. With the safe man, it became a thin piece of paper.

"salute!"

Salute again, after the salute.

When he was about to leave, Dai Shiping said to the people standing in the stairwell.

"Everything is up to you!"

After speaking, he bowed and thanked.

"Don't worry, sir, don't say that Jiafu has become a loyal hero, even between neighbors, it should be."

When the two of them left, there were voices of concern from the women behind them.

"Yumi, Yumi, cry if you want to cry!"

When the sound of crying sounded, the two people with heavy footsteps just let out a long silent sigh, and when they got downstairs, Qian Youyong said nothing.

"Sir, shall we continue to send it?"

"There are three more..."

Three, what are the three thin death notices?

For these three families, it was a disaster, a parting of life and death.

……

That night, Dai Shiping and Qian Youyong just drank silently at the wine stand on the side of the road. The wine was the most common Shengli wine. and dried radish.

"Brother Dai, this task is really not done by humans."

Taking a sip of wine sullenly, Qian Youyong said.

"Going to the front to fight a war is better than sending such news to your door. This, is this an errand for people?..."

"Someone has to go and inform their families and tell them the bad news."

Dai Shiping took a sip of his wine and said.

"Why are there such and such processes? These processes cannot be wrong at one step, because they are important. If you don't pay attention, you can just buy a stamp for 1 cent and paste it in an envelope. It's like sending a conscription notice. How much is it like to send? Money? Two cents! In that case, a soldier..."

Stretching out two fingers, Dai Shiping said.

"It's only worth two cents!"

"No, military mail is free."

"Haha, what is that?"

Staring at Qian Youyong, Dai Shiping said loudly with a heavy heart.

"It's cannon fodder! Cannon fodder! Do you understand? Imperial soldiers become imperial cannon fodder! So..."

Dai Shiping, who had drunk a lot of wine, suddenly lowered his head, and said again.

"We have to go, we're just delivering bad news, but what about them? Dead... dead on the battlefield! No, no..."

Shaking his head vigorously, Dai Shiping said again.

"They didn't die, they didn't die, they went to the Martyrs' Shrine, yes, they all went to the Martyrs' Shrine..."
