"Open it and take a look!"
Seeing her so excited, Sun Shao-ping couldn't help but sigh.
That's the Imperial Seal! He must have been blessed by that Imperial Seal to be personally summoned by the top leader.
Although this wasn't his first time meeting a leader, he was still incredibly excited.
However, he did not take credit for it. Instead, he told the whole story about Fu Wan taking out the imperial seal and leading the comrades in the camp to salvage the sunken ship.
The leaders were very pleased, stating that they had saved the country from loss.
So when the leader asked him what Fu Wan lacked, Sun Shaoping immediately thought of Fu Wan's instructions.
This is how this calligraphy came about.
Fu Wan originally wanted to suppress her excitement and open it when she got back.
But after hearing Sun Shao-ping's suggestion, she didn't refuse.
Judging from Sun Shao-ping's curious look, he probably didn't know what was written inside either.
However, when the papers inside were unfolded, not only was Fu Wan shocked, but Sun Shao-ping was also filled with envy.
"A dragon among the seas, a phoenix among men, a heroine, a role model for the people!"
"Comrade Xiao Fu, the leader speaks very highly of you!"
It's no exaggeration to say that even Sun Shao-ping had never been praised like that by a leader.
Fu Wan's cheeks ached from laughing so much; for the first time, she understood what it meant to laugh until your mouth was about to split open.
"My God, my name is on this!"
The leader's comments were written in large letters, which Fu Wan hadn't noticed at first. But now, upon closer inspection, she discovered that it also read "To Comrade Fu Wan and her family."
Looking at the name on it and the leader's personal seal in the lower right corner, Sun Shao-ping was truly envious.
"Leader Sun, thank you so much! If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have anywhere to seek out this calligraphy!"
Fu Wan carefully put the calligraphy into the wooden box, and of course, she didn't forget Sun Shao Ping's contribution.
The fact that the leader spoke so highly of her, whom he had never met, must have been partly due to Sun Shao-ping's praise.
"No need to thank me, you earned this yourself. When I went there, the leader even asked me if I was the one who helped salvage the fake silver dollars before."
You've already made your name known to the leaders!
Upon hearing this, Fu Wan was immediately flattered.
"By the way, not only this calligraphy, but you also received a bonus from the higher authorities. Although it wasn't much, it was still around a hundred yuan."
"Since you're here today, you can go to the logistics department to sign some papers and collect your bonus."
Upon hearing this, Fu Wan fell into deep thought. She had had this idea before, and now that Sun Shao-ping was talking about the bonus, she immediately brought it up.
"Leader Sun, let's put the bonus aside for now. I'd like to ask, are there many girls in the school around our camp?"
Sun Shao-ping hadn't expected her to ask that, and after thinking about it, he shook his head.
"There are definitely more boys. Girls... sigh!"
These days, most soldiers come from rural areas, and naturally, they have quite a few children.
Some of these comrades even have five or six children.
However, many people still hold outdated views, thinking that it's useless for girls to study and that they should just stay home and help with chores.
Therefore, those sent to this camp to accompany the army were mostly boys, with fewer girls.
This naturally leads to a situation where there are more boys in schools.
Not only that, he had also heard from the school principal that even though their school's tuition was not high, many girls were still called back to help with housework after the second grade, and very few girls were able to go to junior high school.
After hearing Sun Shao-ping's words, Fu Wan felt as if her heart was being cut by a knife.
She overheard Fu Ling and Qin Mingzhu talking about how there were more boys at school yesterday morning, which reminded her of this.
Now that she has confirmed it with Sun Shao-ping, she is naturally heartbroken.
"Leader Sun, how about this? I don't want the bonus the organization is offering me."
Could I contact the school and, if there are any girls who want to study, put this money in the school to pay their tuition?
"As long as they can continue their studies, I will donate tuition fees to the school every month."
Sun Shao-ping was shocked upon hearing this and remained silent for a long time.
After a long pause, he stared intently at Fu Wan and asked, "Comrade Fu, are you serious?"
Fu Wan nodded, "Boss, I would never joke about something like this."
Although I am not a rich person, I live off the sea, and with my hard work, it is definitely not a problem for me to sponsor students' education.
What our country needs most right now is talent. Only by ensuring children have access to education can we cultivate a continuous stream of talent.
Upon hearing her last words, Sun Shao-ping nodded in agreement.
"Okay, I've got it. But you still need to go to the logistics department to sign off on it later. Then you can give the money directly to the school principal."
The logistics department keeps a clear record of every expense at the camp, especially for money like Fu Wan's that needs to be distributed to individuals, which requires her signature.
Fu Wan understood and naturally had no objections.
As they were talking, Bai Qianzhou drove the car to the camp's logistics department.
Fu Wan carefully held the wooden box in her hand and followed Sun Shao Ping out of the car.
"How about I help you carry it? You'll have to work in the logistics department later."
Bai Qianzhou couldn't help but chuckle at Fu Wan's cautious demeanor.
But thinking about it, if he had received a piece of calligraphy from a leader, he probably wouldn't have fared much better.
"Yes, give this to Xiaobai. Comrade Xiao Fu, come with me to sign!"
Sun Shaoping explained his purpose to the logistics staff and then called Fu Wan over to complete the formalities.
Fu Wan was initially hesitant, but seeing this, she directly placed the wooden box in Bai Qianzhou's hands.
It's always better to have someone keep an eye on things than to leave them aside and forget about them later.
The procedure for claiming the bonus was very simple. After Fu Wan signed and pressed her fingerprint, the comrades from the logistics department took out a thick envelope from the drawer.
This is the 180 yuan that the central government awarded her.
"Alright, Comrade Xiao Fu, I won't go to school with you. If Xiao Bai has time, why don't you accompany Comrade Xiao Fu?"
"I'll discuss that matter with the principal again later, and make sure that every penny you spend is on the girl."
Sun Shaoping came to the logistics department today not only to sign Fu Wan's bonus, but also to handle other matters.
Seeing this, Fu Wan quickly nodded in agreement, "Okay, Leader Sun, thank you very much this time."
Sun Shao-ping waved his hand and laughed loudly, "No need to thank me. If anyone should be thanking someone, it's me saying thank you!"
If Fu Wan's achievements were in the military, they would definitely be recognized as a top-class merit.
However, as an ordinary citizen, Fu Wan only asked for a piece of calligraphy, so the credit naturally went to Sun Shao-ping and the camp.
Sun Shao-ping even got a chance to be received by the leader alone, so he has been feeling very comfortable ever since he went to Beijing.
Many old folks envy his good luck!
After saying goodbye to Sun Shao-ping, Fu Wan and Bai Qian-zhou arrived at the camp's school.
Just then, the school gate opened, and the children, like birds released from their cages, rushed towards it.
From afar, Fu Wan spotted Fu Ling and Qin Mingzhu, one tall and one short.
