The post office is located in a corner of the camp, an inconspicuous bungalow.
There is a strict letter management system here. Every letter must be carefully checked to confirm that it does not involve any military secrets before it can be stamped and sent to the distant recipient.
Although this process is cumbersome, it is full of respect and protection for every soldier's patriotism.
The sunlight shone on the path leading to the post office, and Yin Yunjie's steps seemed particularly brisk.
When he arrived, he unexpectedly met his old superior, Commander Qian. The two old comrades who had not seen each other for a long time smiled warmly at the same time. After a few brief greetings, Yin Yunjie carefully handed the letter to the staff responsible for checking the letters.
This scene happened to fall into the eyes of Commander Qian, causing him to feel deeply moved.
"Remember what I said before? You are born to be a family-oriented person. No matter how I persuaded you back then, you were unwilling to consider personal issues. Now you realize how important it is to have a partner who understands you?" There was a hint of joking in Teacher Qian's words, but more of the care of an elder for a younger generation.
When Commander Qian learned the news that Yin Yunjie was getting married, he was indeed a little surprised.
Although he had prepared all the procedures for Yin Yunjie's marriage application early on, he never expected that this young man who always put his career first would enter the marriage hall in such a short time.
In Teacher Qian's opinion, marriage is a major event that requires time to adjust and consider. Today's social atmosphere is open-minded, and even if there are any changes in the future, everyone will understand and accept them.
Therefore, when Commander Qian learned that Yin Yunjie had registered for marriage almost the next day after returning home, he couldn't help but feel a little worried, fearing that his urging would make him make a hasty decision.
However, seeing how carefully Yin Yunjie treated his wife at home, and the deep affection and responsibility revealed between the lines, Commander Qian finally felt relieved. It turned out that his seemingly tough "pressure" had invisibly contributed to this marriage.
"In fact, based on your qualifications, you have long been eligible to apply for family members to accompany the army. The next time there is a vacant dormitory, I will arrange it for you as soon as possible, so that the relationship between you two will not be affected by constant separation." Commander Qian's suggestion was full of goodwill.
Yin Yunjie's heart moved. He knew that Xu Qinghe yearned for freedom and independence, and was worried that life with the army would limit her dreams and space for growth.
But on second thought, it is better to have a place like home to reunite occasionally than to stay temporarily in a hotel.
So, he accepted the kindness of Master Qian with a smile, "Okay, thank you, Master."
This straightforward agreement surprised Commander Qian slightly, and then he laughed heartily: "Haha, you kid, you are becoming more and more responsible!"
He patted Yin Yunjie's shoulder hard, with relief in his eyes, and turned away.
At this moment, the comrade in charge of checking the letters carefully reviewed them, gently folded the letter, and with a meaningful smile on his lips, he swept his eyes gently over Yin Yunjie's face: "Captain Yin, your letter has been checked and everything is normal. There is no problem. We plan to find a suitable time tonight to deliver it safely."
Upon hearing this, Yin Yunjie simply nodded briefly in response.
He then turned around and strode out of the room at such a brisk pace that his rapid steps revealed an unusual urgency that the people around him couldn't help but cast a few curious glances at him.
They discovered that Captain Yin, who was usually calm and composed and remained calm even in the face of a catastrophe, had a faint blush on his ears, which was a rare sight for him.
As he stepped onto the mottled stone steps outside the dormitory building, a gentle voice called out to him: "Captain Yin."
Looking up, I saw a tall and neatly dressed female soldier standing under the shade of a tree not far away. She was Yuan Mei, a leader in the art troupe. She had an extraordinary background. Her family had been in the army for generations and she was the niece of the chief of the Beidi Military District.
Although the two were not very familiar with each other, they had passed each other at several accidental gatherings, leaving a faint impression on each other.
Yin Yunjie was slightly surprised, but he still walked forward steadily, maintaining a proper and polite distance. His voice was gentle but not without some courtesy: "Comrade Yuan, is there anything I can help you with?"
Yuan Mei's eyes flashed with a subtle, complex emotion at this seemingly unfamiliar address, but she quickly adjusted herself, regaining her usual gentleness and composure. She gently opened her red lips and said, "I've heard a lot about you getting married recently. I wonder... is this true?"
During this period, rumors about Yin Yunjie's marriage spread like wildfire within the military region, making Yuan Mei, who already had special feelings for him, feel uneasy.
All the speculation and anxiety finally drove her to decide to verify directly with the parties involved. After all, Yin Yunjie had been single for many years and there were few rumors of emotional entanglements. How could he suddenly announce his marriage after a trip home?
She firmly believed that Yin Yunjie was not the kind of person who would be easily influenced by the outside world.
Upon hearing this, Yin Yunjie frowned slightly, seemingly uninterested in the topic. He replied concisely, "Yes, is there anything else?"
He muttered to himself, thinking that Yuan Mei came here for business, but he didn't expect her to ask about such private matters, which made Yin Yunjie feel a little unhappy.
Is gossip becoming popular even in the military?
"What?" Yuan Mei obviously didn't expect Yin Yunjie to have such a reaction, and was stunned for a moment.
She seemed to be frozen in place, and the beautiful and subtle fantasies in her heart were shattered by this sudden reality.
An indescribable emotion surged in her chest, causing her to involuntarily ask, "Then... who is that lucky lady?"
Yuan Mei was immersed in her own thoughts and did not notice the fleeting impatience on Yin Yunjie's face. She just stubbornly wanted to get a definite answer.
Yin Yunjie explained calmly, "She's just a girl from the village. Comrade Yuan, if there's nothing else urgent, I'd like to go back and rest."
As he spoke, he turned around and walked away in a hurry.
A high-intensity mission had just ended, and he was physically and mentally exhausted and urgently needed to rest to recover his strength.
Looking at Yin Yunjie's gradually receding back, Yuan Mei slowly clenched her hands, her sharp nails digging deep into the soft skin of her palms. The pain made her unusually awake.
He actually chose a country girl as his life partner and refused to give her even a little bit of attention!
How on earth could that woman capture his heart in such a short time?
And I, who have been silently watching over you in the army all these years, and the deep affection that has never been expressed out loud, now seems to be a great irony.
The news of Yin Yunjie's marriage was like a sharp dagger, piercing her heart.
