After dinner, they brushed their teeth and washed their faces, then Lu Yunsheng wrote his reply. It was a rare occasion for Jiang Yan to wash the pots and dishes in the morning.
Sitting down at the desk, Lu Yunsheng picked up the pen and wrote down the title.
"Dear Father and Mother:"
Then he started a new line and considered before writing.
There was a gentle breeze outside the window, and tinkling sounds came from the kitchen. The little black cat outside the window was concentrating on practicing biting.
With a faint smile on his lips, Lu Yunsheng calmly put pen to paper.
"Thank you for the package, mother. I know your thoughts. Yanyan also likes the gift you prepared..."
In the letter, Lu Yunsheng talked about their recent situation, and also mentioned Jiang Yan's translation work and her good results in training.
The praise was overwhelming.
"...Yanyan is a lively and cheerful girl who is very good at housework. She has everything she needs at home...
I hope my parents don't worry, everything is fine with their son."
Write down honorifics.
"I wish my father and mother good health and everything goes well."
Lu Yunsheng wrote down his name and the date the letter was written.
Jiang Yan stood behind him, clicking her tongue repeatedly as she read the contents of the letter.
"Lu Yunsheng, why are you writing such an official letter?"
After folding the letter paper, Lu Yunsheng smiled helplessly and explained: "Wife, these letters have been checked."
Hearing her say this, Jiang Yan hurriedly took out the letter she had written last night and asked Lu Yunsheng to check it.
Lu Yunsheng was also a little curious about what his wife wrote.
Open it and take a look.
Okay, just write whatever comes to mind, and use very colloquial language.
Parents:
Hello!
I am your daughter-in-law Jiang Yan, and I have received your mother’s gift.
Thanks mom!
I really like the style of the clothes. I’ve gained a little weight recently and they don’t look too big on me.
Half a month ago, I found a translation job at Xinhua Bookstore. Now my family has some extra money and we have enough for our daily needs.
I hope my parents can take good care of themselves, not worry about us, and spend all their money on themselves.
During the Chinese New Year, if Yunsheng can take a leave, we will come back to see you and ask you to say hello to your brother and sister-in-law on our behalf.
Oh, right.
We have a lot of seafood here. I didn’t have much time during training before, so after the training, I will get some sea cucumbers and abalone to send to my parents, brother and sister-in-law.
The date is: April 30, 1972.
Seeing that Lu Yunsheng didn't react, Jiang Yan asked curiously, "How is it? Is this okay?"
"Hmm...very good."
Lu Yunsheng felt that his mother would definitely be very happy to see this letter. After all, she had said more than once that the three of them, father and son, were boring and that writing letters sounded like official documents.
"That's fine."
After folding the letter and putting it in an envelope together with the one written by Lu Yunsheng, Jiang Yan picked up the translation manuscript on the table, took Lu Yunsheng's hand and went out.
Not far from the troops’ mailing point, near the gate of the regiment’s camp, was a specially established office.
There are special soldiers here who are responsible for checking letters and parcels entering and leaving the military camp. There is also a mailing point at the family compound, but it is not on the side of the Second Regiment, but at the gate of the family compound of the First Regiment.
It seems that the inspection target is not the Second Regiment, but the First Regiment. Now that Qin Yue'e's incident has happened, it is estimated that the First Regiment will be more strictly managed.
When I walked into the office, there was only one young soldier on duty in the room.
"Hello, comrade. I want to send a letter to Beijing. This briefcase should be sent to Xinhua Bookstore in the city."
"Okay sister-in-law."
The soldier checked it, stamped a military postmark on the upper right corner of the letter, and then took the letter away.
Jiang Yan was a little surprised that the army didn't use stamps when sending letters.
"How much?"
Jiang Yan's question stunned the young soldier for a moment, and he saw that the sender's name on the envelope was Lu Yunsheng.
The young soldier realized that this sister-in-law was the newly married wife of the battalion commander, and she didn't know much about the situation in the army, so he explained enthusiastically.
"Sister-in-law, soldiers and their families don't have to pay for external letters."
"Oh, thank you then."
After saying thank you, Jiang Yan turned and left, walking towards the training ground.
I didn't expect the army to have such welfare benefits, but would it be considered taking advantage of the public if I use the army's mail service to send my manuscripts?
After Jiang Yan left, the young soldier opened the letter for routine inspection.
He quickly scanned the two letters from home to make sure they contained no confidential information, then quickly put them back in their original packaging and picked up another large file bag.
Carefully opening the file bag, the young soldier quickly scanned the contents on the paper out of habit, but soon he became alert and his expression became extremely solemn.
Although I only have a junior high school diploma and cannot understand the contents of the document, it is obvious that this is not an ordinary letter.
It also mentions industry, machinery, future development of the world, etc., which are very impressive words at first glance.
The young soldier quickly flipped through other documents and saw the same content. When he came to the English text at the end, he was shocked.
"English."
"Oh my god, this is impossible. There was just a spy for a military wife yesterday, and now there's another one?"
Something big happened.
Something big happened!
The young soldier quickly put the documents away and put them back into the file bag, locked the door, and ran to the regiment headquarters at the back.
Ten minutes later.
Jiang Yan's manuscript appeared on Sheng Pinghua's desk. He frowned and flipped through the manuscript page by page.
The document was full of things related to industry and machinery, and the content was rather profound and obscure, so he couldn't understand it.
Considering the content of the letter, it does look like a translated manuscript.
But he couldn't understand English, so even if he knew it was a translated document, he couldn't release it until the English content was verified.
