Chapter 1701 Letter From Home
For example, the Li family in Lingao County, whose family has been able to collect money by sitting on all the dung in Chengguan Town for hundreds of years, is not because of the ancestors who followed the old Zhu family to fight the world.Besides, these cadres who went north didn't have to seek their background on the battlefield like a big soldier.

Tan Xiaoqin is a little vague, she is a woman who will marry sooner or later, who should get this rich background?Is it from the Tan family, or from the future husband's family who doesn't know where it is right now?
Forget it, let's not worry about it for now, let's consider the preparations for these few days.

On the bed, there is an outfit that has just been delivered.The weather in Guangdong is several degrees lower than that in Hainan. During the Little Ice Age, the extreme temperature in Guangdong could be as low as 0°C, so you must prepare warm clothes.Among the clothes distributed to the cadres going north is a woolen short coat that is waterproof and cold-proof—that is, the military version with all decorations removed; in addition, oilcloth boots, wool socks, hats, and gloves are distributed.

These are rare things that are rarely seen in Hainan. Although Hainan is much colder today than when her parents were young, and it occasionally snows, most of the time in winter, add a thin layer of cotton towels. A jacket is enough. As for boots, only soldiers in Hainan wear them.

A thin woolen army blanket, a dog-skin mattress -- laid on the ground to keep out the cold and moisture, a gift for those who need to sleep in the open -- bundled into a bundle and packed in a canvas roll bag, and a rucksack for personal replacements clothing.A canvas shoulder bag contained emergency rations, a first aid kit, and a full set of stationery: dip pens, ink bottles, and nibs. Special notebooks and post-it notes with the letterhead of the Guangdong Military Control Committee of the Senate were issued.Each engraved their own round name stamp, packed in an all-in-one stamp case with matching ink pads.

Because they were going to a battlefield, the cadres from Beishang were issued with new revolvers and [-] rounds of ammunition. The holsters and ammunition bags were hung on the Y-shaped canvas armed belt, and a bamboo water bottle was hung on it.

The distribution of equipment can be said to be comprehensive, even the toilet paper was not removed, and the female cadres also distributed sanitary products.Tan Xiaoqin couldn't help sighing secretly after counting all the items according to the list: "The chiefs are so careful."

"What are you writing?" Lu Cheng saw the pen and paper spread out on her desk.asked.

"Didn't the chief tell everyone to write a letter to their families?"

Although the reason for writing the letter is "I will be away for a long time, I will tell my family if there are any important things. But everyone knows that the so-called "tell me all the important things" is a euphemism for writing a suicide note. .

"You didn't write a single word."

"I can't think of anything to write about." Tan Xiaoqin was a little annoyed. She had become a little estranged from her family in the past few years. She will tell her only when she helps.In the past few years, my sister got married, my brother married his wife, and I built a new house... She paid for it all, but the specifics didn't seem to have much to do with her.

"Write a few words at least. This trip will take a year or so." Lu Cheng advised her, "There will be vacations, and it will take several days to go back and forth."

Tan Xiaoqin asked back: "Did you write it?"

"I wrote it a long time ago, just a few words." Lu Cheng looked relaxed, "I'm more worried about how to carry out work in a new place, it's all in the new area."

"Hey, I'd better think about the same thing as you." Tan Xiaoqin sighed, "I think I'll just write that everything is fine, don't read it."

In a barracks dormitory not far from their barracks, Tian Liang, the new commander of the 10rd Company of the 3th Infantry Battalion, was sitting blankly at the table, biting the end of a pencil, scribbling on the paper in front of him. Wipe, I don't know how many times I wrote it.

He was still wearing the old-fashioned first-year uniform, and the new fifth-year uniform hung on the wall behind him, and the orderly had just painted it.There are also newly-issued outfits spread out on the bed.

Although Tian Liang has low education and poor military quality, he has not performed outstandingly in many years of combat service, which can be called the culmination of mediocrity.However, relying on his consistent prudence, inconspicuous performance and no mistakes, his qualifications have accumulated to the present. As a senior lieutenant of the 1st Battalion, he has also become a captain and company commander in Dongfeng, which is expanding the army. There are still a small number of naturalized civilian officers who can become battalion first-level officers and majors.Although Tian Liang is a poor horse and a broken car, he can be regarded as catching up with most of the same period.

When the official was promoted, Tian Liang's mind became active again when the spring breeze was triumphant.He couldn't let go of Guo Fu.But it has been a long time since he lost contact with Guo Fu.He went to Bairen General Hospital to look for her but couldn't find her. The concierge said that "Nurse Guo" had been transferred to Sanya.Later, I wrote a few letters to Guo Fu, but because I didn't know the exact address, the letters either disappeared or were returned with a postmark of "name and address unknown".Before he was promoted to company commander in this army expansion, he participated in the officer training team. He met a naturalized civilian officer who had served in Sanya, and learned of Guo Fu's whereabouts from him.

It turned out that Guo Fu was no longer in Sanya—she had returned to Lingao, saying that she was continuing her studies. Tian Liang wrote a letter to Bairen General Hospital, and she got a reply from Guo Fu very quickly.

Brother Liang, seeing words is like meeting:
The letter has been received, and I have not communicated with Hongyan for many years. I am very relieved to know that you are doing well.

You mentioned the past in your letter, recalling that time as a nightmare.Thinking about it now, the elders and we are more grateful to our parents for rebuilding. We can only repay one or two of them by studying hard and serving the Senate.

Brother Liang proposed a face-to-face meeting. The hospital is very busy, and I am still studying, so I have no free time.If there is a chance to meet again in the future.

I'm fine, don't worry about it.

The surgery is about to start, I'm going to take a shower and change clothes, so I'll stop writing here.

Celebration

戎安
Guo Fu
Although there were only a few lines in the reply, and he did not agree to meet him, but for Tian Liang, who had always been in love with Guo Fu, these few lines were like rain after a long drought.He didn't understand some words and sentences, but he didn't want to show the letter to others, so he copied it and asked others.

He hid the letter in his military ID wallet and carried it close to his body.When there was no one else, he took it out to look at it from time to time, and caressed the crumpled and disfigured "Bairen General Hospital" letterhead with a gentle touch like stroking a girl's skin, and let out a smirk.

Now, what was spread out in front of him was the letter to Guo Fu.He has no relatives in this world, and he has no one to write letters to his relatives. After much deliberation, Guo Fu is the only one left.

However, compared to Guo Fu's beautiful handwriting dipped in water, Tian Liang's handwriting is really hard to come by. His cultural studies have always been stumbling, and he has to write a letter—at this time of parting that may never return, He has too much to say - it is too difficult for Tian Liang to convey his heart to Guo Fu with pen and ink.At the beginning, he didn't dare to write with a dip pen, so he used a pencil to smudge and make a draft, and finally managed to compose a letter.

Fumei Daan:

We have received a formal order today, and we are about to move out.The chief asked us to write letters to our family members, telling us all the important things.After much deliberation, the only person who can write is you.

Fumei, we are all orphans. When we fled, we walked together. We ate together, drank water together. When it was raining, we picked up a broken umbrella. You gave me a shoulder, and I gave you a shoulder. , everyone can only hide their heads.

You said that the past was a hungry (nightmare) dream, but in retrospect there are many happy things.Do you still remember how we caught grasshoppers in the field and roasted them in the ruined temple?

Although we were suffering at that time, we depended on each other for life, helped each other along the way and survived.

When we arrived in Hainan, you were in the hospital and I was in the army.Never had a chance to meet.After many years, I still miss you often, and you should know my thoughts.

I always think of you when I write letters.I don't know what you have become now, but you must look better than before.

We are not young anymore, and we don’t have the elders in our family to call the shots. If you are willing, I would like to meet you and talk about our lifelong events when you come back from this expedition.

You know who I am.I am stupid, never smart, and being a company commander depends on the head's cultivation, but I have no bad intentions, and I am a responsible person.I will never bully you, nor will I mess with tall (fuck) women outside.If I can continue to work in the army, the salary is enough to support my family; if I get injured and can no longer serve in the army, the head of the army will give me a way out after returning home, and I will be a local cadre at worst.

Don't be too sad if I don't come back.Fighting always kills people.The chief also said that everyone must die.Back then, if you hadn’t finished (gouged out) the rotten wound (sore) and cleaned the wound, I would have died on the road long ago, and I would have never met the chief, and I would not have been the company commander.Being able to live until now is already earned.Speaking of repaying the kindness of the chief, it is not enough to repay with my life.I hope that Yuan (hope) can live a few more years, contribute more to the head of the war, and keep the Senate to sit in the world.

In case I can't come back, I have already written a suicide note, and I will leave all my accumulated military pay and some military uniforms to you.When you get married in the future, you will always need money.Although the clothes are old, they are all made of good materials, so they can be worn by your future men.

That's all for now, I'm going to the company to check the preparations.My military post number is 9417, write to me when you have time.

田凉
Tian Liang finished copying the last word crookedly with a dip pen, and read it carefully again.I dried the letter, put it in an envelope stamped with "Military Post", wrote the address of Bairen General Hospital, and finally addressed it to "Comrade Guo Fu".
