Wearing a bright military green uniform, postmen in this era were a big shot, with a secure job and civil servant status!
My brother isn't handsome, but he's not ugly either. He has delicate features and looks quite honest, but there's a cleverness in his eyes.
The man pulled a letter stamped with the military seal from a large cloth bag slung over the handlebars of his bicycle: "Here, this is your letter. Sign for it!"
Ye Wanying took the envelope, signed the logbook handed to her by the postman, and then left with Ye Chenyang, her younger brother.
On the way, Ye Chenyang kept urging Ye Wanying to open the letter.
But Ye Wanying's first thought was to refuse. She felt that if she opened the letter, she would get into trouble in the future!
Even after returning to the Ye family, no matter how much Ye Chenyang pleaded, Ye Wanying didn't open the envelope. In the end, she went back to her room alone, closed the door, and didn't even want Tuanzi anymore!
"Oh, it's nothing, it's nothing. Sweetie, your mom has something to do. How about you play with grandma?"
Just as Tuanzi was about to cry, Ye's mother carried Tuanzi into the yard, gently coaxing her.
Ye Wanying sat at the table, with the letter that had been making her uneasy lying in front of her.
"To look or not to look?"
A man muttered to himself, picking up an envelope and putting it down repeatedly... Finally, his face hardened: "What's the big deal if I take a look?"
Thinking about it this way, I felt relieved.
Hiss~
The envelope seal was torn open, and along with the letter, a stack of brand-new money and ten brand-new frog skins fell out.
Frog skins are like 50-yuan banknotes; ten of them would be 500 yuan!
Feeling that there was something inside the letter, Ye Wanying reached in and felt something hard. When she pulled it out, she found it was a bankbook!
Ye Wanying blinked and blinked, and for a long time, she still couldn't react!
Frustrated, he threw the passbook onto the table, took a deep breath, and then picked up the letter again to read it.
Daughter-in-law: Greetings.
sorry!
Back then, I had to go to the battlefield and left without saying a word to you. I was gone for more than a year.
I wonder how things are at home? And have you eaten enough? Are you dressed warmly enough? Are you sick?
I know my family members have some personality issues, I hope you won't mind. Of course, if you'd like, I still hope you can come and live in the military.
After returning from the battlefield, I immediately applied to my superiors to accompany my unit. The housing was allocated to us; it was a two-bedroom apartment, enough for us to live in!
My dear wife, I am so sorry, I will spend the rest of my life making it up to you.
This 500 yuan is the bonus I received from the battlefield. You can use it to buy your favorite food and nice clothes. The 2,000 yuan in the savings account is what I saved up during my years in the army. Now I'm giving it to you, my wife!
As for the money, you should keep it to yourself and not mention it to your family, okay?
Okay, no thanks, gotta go to training now!
My dear wife, I miss you! I really do!
June 26, 1988, Office of XX Military Unit!

Looking at the heavy letter, Ye Wanying couldn't help but tap her forehead several times: "Ye Wanying, Ye Wanying, how could you be so stupid? You knew this letter wouldn't be so simple, why did you still open it?"
Damn it!
That jerk, that scumbag, why did he have to pull this stunt? Isn't handing over your paycheck something only a good man would do?
