Wu Zhifei knew exactly what was going on …
No matter who it was, as long as they dared to say anything about Mi Xaing'er, Yun Laohu would immediately explode … His power and speed were simply unimaginable.
Therefore, whenever the Military Commissar had to talk about Mi Xaing'er, he would always be careful and try his best to be tactful in his words.
At this moment, Wu Zhifei was sitting in his chair with his hands clasped together. He coughed softly and said, "Old Tiger, can we talk calmly? I didn't say that Mi Xaing'er is bad, nor did I say that I don't want you and your wife to be reunited. I'm just stating the facts … You've made a fuss in the military district and made her official, but it will also affect your future. "
Yun Laohu snorted coldly and said, "Affect my future? When Mi Xaing'er and I got married, many people said that. After so many years, I'm used to it and I don't listen to anyone. Lao Wu, you know me. You'd better not talk about my wife so that I won't fall out with you. "
Wu Zhifei didn't want to talk about it, but there were some things …
He sighed and said, "Old Tiger, let's talk calmly. I don't intend to care about you, and I can't care about you. I'm just worried that … after you left this afternoon, something big happened."
"Huh?"
Wu Zhifei lowered his head and took out a letter from his desk. He gently slid it across the desk to Yun Laohu and said, "Take a good look at it."
Yun Jingting glanced at it and was a little stunned … First of all, it was a white envelope with a blue border. This meant that it was an international letter.
He didn't hesitate and picked it up to look at the address on the cover … It was addressed to the Provincial Government's Foreign Affairs Department.
Wu Zhifei saw his puzzled expression and explained, "When I saw the envelope, I had the same thought as you. It's a letter from the Foreign Affairs Department, so they can handle it themselves. Why would they send it to our military district? You'll understand when you read the contents of the letter. "
Yun Laohu opened the letter … There were only a few sentences, but the handwriting was strong.
I am Chen Yaozhong, the commander of the 78th Army of the People's Party of X before liberation.
Yun Jingting was a smart person. When she saw this sentence, she immediately understood … The letter was originally addressed to the Provincial Party Committee, so why was it sent here? Of course, it was related to him. The so-called overseas relative, the commander of the X Army, could only be Mi Xaing 'er's father.
As expected …
He continued reading:
I left home in 1958 and moved about for 20 years. I miss my motherland very much. Moreover, my in-laws are still in the country … Every time I think of them, my heart breaks!
Recently, my physical condition has been extremely poor. According to the diagnosis, I am on the verge of death. I am afraid I don't have much time left. Especially when I hear that the mainland's policy has allowed overseas Chinese to visit their home, I am ecstatic and anxious to return home.
I am writing to you in hopes that you can approve my return date and visa.
Thank you very much!
Chen Yaozhong.
November 1st, 1977.
Looking at the date, the letter had been circulating in the country for some time. That meant … the leaders at all levels had already discussed this matter.
As for what the provincial government thought?
That was hard to say!
Wu Zhifei continued, "The policy now is different from before. The investigation of overseas relations has indeed been relaxed. Many overseas Chinese in America, even their families across the strait, can now communicate with each other. However, from my point of view, if the provincial government has already agreed, they should just let them come back. Why did they send the letter to us?"
"…"
"Tiger, you have to think twice! After all, you are a soldier. As the saying goes, the boat that sticks out first will rot first. What if … the policy changes again in the future? "
"…"
"The reason why the organization sent this letter to you is probably because they want to hear your opinion. However, you should go and ask around. Who in the entire military region dares to meet a foreign Chinese, especially someone like you … whose relative is a military commander of the People's Party of X. The issue of your wife being an American spy has just been resolved, and now this issue has come up! Just thinking about it gives me a headache. I really don't know what to do. "
Yun Jingting raised his eyebrows slightly. "This letter … can I keep it?"
"What do you want to do?"
"I want to show it to Mi Xaing 'er. After all, this is a letter from her family. I want her to make the decision herself."
Wu Zhifei knocked on the table with his finger. "Huh? Old Tiger, are you stupid? If I were you, I would keep this matter a secret. Don't tell Mi Xaing 'er and her daughter. What if they want to meet their family? What will you do? Agree? As a soldier, it is very awkward for you to be caught in the middle. In my opinion … let's delay this matter until the policy is stable. "
Yun Jingting knew that Wu Zhifei was right … but he did not want to hide anything from Mi Xaing 'er.
He waved his hand stubbornly. "No, I still have to go back and discuss this with my wife. Does she want to meet her family? It is up to her to decide! Besides, didn't you read the letter? Her father is sick. If she can't meet them in the future … Mi Xaing 'er will blame me. I don't want to take responsibility. "
Wu Zhifei gritted his teeth in anger. "How big are your ideas usually? What are you afraid of? Why do you change completely when it comes to your wife? She is just a sesame seed, but it is bigger than a watermelon. Let me ask you, why do you want to take responsibility? If Mi Xaing 'er asks you about it in the future and wants to blame you, you can just deny it and say that you didn't know about this letter … Isn't that the end of it? "
Yun Jingting curled his lips in disdain. "Why would we lie when we are a couple? Why do we have to play these little tricks? I can't do it. "
He simply waved his hand … From the looks of it, he wanted to end this topic. "Old Wu, don't worry about it. This is my family's matter. Still, I have a clear conscience about my work. As for my family's matters? I married Mi Xaing 'er. She is my woman for the rest of my life. No matter what happens to her, it is my problem. I will share the burden with her. "
He simply put the letter in his drawer.
