Chapter Seventy-Eight: Serving the Country with Guilt
"Captain Cui!" After a while, Li Pinghe walked in with a suspicious face.
Without further ado, I pointed to the pile of letters on the table. Li Pinghe is also in the line of ideological and political work, and he quickly understood the key to this.
"Zhang Mingxue!" Li Pinghe said to Zhang Mingxue, who had just stood at the entrance of the 'door': "Go and bring my briefcase!" ”
"Yes!" Zhang Mingxue answered, turned around and left.
"Captain!" Li Pinghe pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose and said lightly: "Don't mind doing a favor!" ”
"Help?" Hearing this, I couldn't help but be stunned, and asked puzzledly: "Can we help with this?" ”
"At least you can do some preparation!" Li Pinghe replied while skillfully untying the ropes of these letters: "Of course, there are many things that we can't help, but we must at least take some precautions!" ”
"Precautionary measures? You mean to open the letter and read it? I couldn't help but hesitate a little: "This, isn't this a big deal..."
"No, you don't need to open the letter!" Li Pinghe shook his head, picked up the envelope and spread it out on the table one by one: "What we have to do is to classify these letters." Just look at which fighters have received the letter, and then pay more attention to them when the letter is sent to the fighters tomorrow! ”
"Oh!" Listening to this, I understand that this truth is actually very simple, only the soldiers who receive the letter may have a problem! The so-called concern is 'chaos', just now my heart was 'chaotic', and I didn't even think of such a simple truth.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help laughing at himself, and then he and Li Pinghe sorted the letters by name.
"Commissar! Your bag! "Zhang Mingxue's shouts came from outside the 'door,' and he didn't dare to enter without permission.
Li Pinghe opened the 'door' a crack. Nodding outside, he took in a briefcase. Then he skillfully took out a list from it, put it on the table, and said: "Some comrades have already sacrificed their lives, so we have to think about returning those letters!" I hope it's all good news! ”
When I heard this, I couldn't help but feel a chill in my heart, and the scene of those family members who had died before they learned that their loved ones had died before they could receive the letter. At this time, I couldn't help but feel the urge to leave this room and leave all this to Li Pinghe. But in the end, I stayed, because I felt that I had something to do for these fallen soldiers and their families.
This night, Xie Changbin arranged a very comfortable accommodation for us, with a 'bed' and a quilt. Although this may not be a big deal for ordinary people, it is already a very enjoyable thing for us who have been hiding in the pit for a long time.
But despite this, I couldn't sleep on the bed, thinking about the letters.
What are those letters saying? Could it be just a normal hello? Or just talk about missing or something? I hope so!
Thinking about it, I finally couldn't help but get up, put on my cotton coat, and walked towards the house where the letters were kept.
When the net walked out of the 'door', he unexpectedly found that the light in the room was on, and walked up quickly to see that Li Pinghe was already inside.
"Can't sleep?" Pushing Fang Ran in, the first thing I smelled was a thick smell of smoke.
"yes!" Li Pinghe took a long breath of smoke and handed me the letter in his hand.
I took a look at it, and saw that it was clearly written: "Brother Zongxi" I won't let you be a soldier, you have to go" Now my mother is sick and bedridden, and your prostitute has a difficult birth and is hospitalized. The family owes a *** debt, and the whole family did not buy New Year's goods during the New Year, not even new clothes
"Yes!" Li Pinghe replied: "I opened the letters of comrades who have already died!" ”
Tang Zongxi, a platoon commander of the nephew regiment. The reason why I remember him is because in the last battle, a grenade from the Yankee hit his ***, and a 'hole' the size of a football exploded in his 'chest'.
Looking at the letter in my hand, I couldn't help gritting my teeth and silently said in my heart: "Good brother and sister-in-law, don't blame your brother anymore, he has done his best for the motherland, dedicated everything for the people, and can no longer stand in front of you!" ”
"And this!" Li Pinghe handed over another one.
I took it with trembling hands, only to see that it was written: "Stone, your father has cancer, and he has no money for treatment, and I look forward to your return every day to see you for the last time!" Tell your superiors to take a leave of absence and come back for a few days,"
"Stone, Zhang Yiyou" I read the envelope and realized that the young man named Zhang Yishi was named Stone.
"Hmmm! He died under the cold guns of the enemy! Li Pinghe answered: "I remember that before he died, he gave me a letter and asked me to send it!" He said that he was in a coma, and kept shouting, "Forgive me", and this, "One, I didn't take his letter from Li Pinghe's 'lane'. He turned around and ran out of ammonia. Because I don't have the courage to read the next one anymore.

"Wang Changsheng!"
"Here!"
"Li Tie!"
"Here!"
Early the next morning, the fighters assembled in the square. Liu Shunyi stood in front of the team and loudly called out the soldiers who had a letter one by one, and then handed the letter to them.
The warriors were also disciplined, and when they got the letters, they didn't know how much they wanted to open the envelopes on the spot to see what they contained, but they endured it and stood motionless in the queue.
After a while, the letter was finally sent, and Liu Shunyi gave an understanding order to disband. The soldier who got the letter couldn't wait to open the envelope in his hand.
One second, two seconds one
I watched the warriors silently, observing the expressions on their faces. The time of this moment was so long for me that I almost thought it had stopped.
One smiling face, two smiling faces, looking at the smiles on the faces of the soldiers, I couldn't help but feel a little relieved. But before I could turn my attention to the other warriors, one of the warriors turned to face south, knocked his head three times, and then shouted to the sky in a terrible voice: "It's all my fault!" And he passed out.
The fighters hurriedly ran up to give first aid. I walked up with heavy footsteps, picked up the tear-stained letter from the ground, and wrote a few simple words on it: "My wife had a difficult birth, because there was no one else in the house, the villagers found out late, and the adults and children died!" ”
Not only that, but I soon noticed that there were several more soldiers who were crying silently over the letter in their hands, and among them was my guard Xu Yongwei.
"What's wrong?" I couldn't help but walk up to Xu Yongwei and ask.
Xu Yongwei didn't answer, just squatted on the ground and shed tears.
"Captain!" Zhang Mingxue's eyes were red, and he replied in a choked voice: "Xu Yongwei's father is half paralyzed, and he looks forward to him going home every day, and climbs to the 'door' every day to wait for him to go back, but he hasn't waited." Once I waited too late, and I didn't have the strength to climb back, because it was dark and the neighbors didn't find out, and the next day,"
I wordlessly patted Xu Yongwei's shoulder, wanting to say a few words of comfort, but I couldn't say anything when the words came to my lips. Because I feel that any words of comfort at this time are so weak for the warrior.
No one will understand how I feel now, life and death on the battlefield have long connected my hearts with the soldiers. For me, they are my brothers, my relatives, it is no exaggeration to say that their father is my father, their mother is my mother, knowing that their family is unfortunate, I am also like a knife!
"Captain!" At this time, Liu Shunyi handed me a telegram and said: "The Ministry of Humble Affairs has called, allowing the soldiers to take half a month of leave, and let them go back to see their families!" ”
"Hmm!" I nodded, stood up straight, gritted my teeth, and said, "Let's all go back!" Half a month's vacation, half a month later, here to concentrate! ”
"Yes!" The soldiers answered, and immediately returned to the barracks to pack up. Liu Shunyi began to discuss with Xie Changbin, preparing military vehicles and itineraries for the soldiers.
"Captain Cui!" Watch the batches get packed up. As the soldiers left in the car, Li Pinghe came up and handed me a cigarette.
"This is to serve the country with a heavy load!" Li Pinghe sighed.
"No, this is to repay the country with guilt!" I shook my head.
"Guilty of revenge?" Li Pinghe looked at me suspiciously: "What are they guilty of?" ”
"Yes, they are guilty!" I replied heavily, "My family has made them miserable!" ”
When I said this, Li Pinghe had nothing to say.
Perhaps it is only at this moment that we know how poignant this fact is!
"What's next?" Li Pinghe asked again.
"I don't know!" I was at a loss, and I really didn't know what to do after the big vacation. Go home? I don't even know where my home is, let alone find my loved ones.
"Or? Come with me to meet my uncle! Li Pinghe said with some expectation: "Uncle is my father's comrade-in-arms, and I have been following him since I was a teenager!" I told him about you, and he's always wanted to meet you! ”
"Hmm!" I hesitated for a moment, then said, "It's okay, but I have to report to Master Pang first!" Maybe he has other plans! ”
"Good!" Without saying a word, Li Pinghe pulled me in the direction of the radio station. , If you want to know what will happen next, please log in to the speaker, Zhuo Festival more, support the author, support genuine reading!
