When they arrived, Lu's father was driving a mule cart to carry dried sweet potatoes from the field back to the granary, wearing an old white-washed and patched military uniform, with a sweaty white towel around his neck.

"Comrade Lu Zhiyuan!" Cheng Baoguo came up and shook Lu's father's hand. Facing Cheng Baoguo, who had such an enthusiastic attitude and was a little abnormally enthusiastic, Father Lu was simply stunned, looked down at the letter and remittance slip that Cheng Baoguo put in his hand, and said without reading them all: "Did Ajiang and Xiaoxue send it to me?" It's been less than a month since you last received a letter and remittance slip, right? I told them they didn't need to send it. Cheng Baoguo was almost choked by him,

"Brother, you can read the content clearly before you speak!" Father Lu is even more strange, in front of so many people, Cheng Baoguo calls himself brother?

This has never happened, after Feng Qingxue and Xibao visited relatives and then joined the army, Cheng Baoguo had no reason to come often.

"I'll have to take a closer look at what you say." It must be a very important letter, otherwise it would not be Cheng Baoguo acting as a postman.

Father Lu thought as he looked at the contents of the envelope, and his hands trembled at this look.

"This is a letter from the leader to me? How could a leader write to me? "No one dares to write a letter in the name of a leader, and few people can imitate the leader's handwriting.

The Lu family kept the IOUs and thank-you letters from decades ago, and Lu's father could recognize the leader's handwriting at a glance, but compared to the IOUs and thank-you letters, the calligraphy of this letter was very harmonious, and the level was ten times better than before.

"yes!" Cheng Bao National Highway,

"You look at what instructions the leader gave in the letter, we are all here, we understand. Prior to this, the government had also received telegram instructions from the leaders, telling us to take good care of your old age, and we were discussing the matter, and before we could reach a conclusion, the letter from the leaders to you arrived. This is the main reason why they came forward as soon as they received the report from the post office.

Letters from leaders alone? It is impossible for so many people to come forward. Because, many toiling people, especially the leaders' fellow villagers, will write letters to the leaders for help when their lives are too difficult to live, and the leaders will send them living expenses every time.

Father Lu's heart moved,

"Then I'll open it and take a look." He thought about it, first asked Cheng Baoguo to hold the letter for him, went to the river to wash his hands, and came back to wipe it with a towel, and then carefully opened the letter, and his every move showed his respect for the leader everywhere.

"What did the leader say?" Cheng Baoguo asked after Father Lu read it, what about a very thick letter. Father Lu's heart was excited, and he pretended to be calm on his face,

"The leader said several things, the first thing was to thank our family for donating money and goods to the soldiers during the Anti-Japanese War, I did not rely on the evidence to ask the government for debts, the leader felt that he could not go, and specially sent me 300 yuan as living expenses. The second thing is that the leader mentioned Xiaoxue and Xibao, and the two of them were fortunate to be cordially received by the leader, so they learned about the living conditions of our Wanglou brigade and expressed their high appreciation to our branch secretary. Hearing that Cheng Baoguo and other government officials had come to Wang Zhengguo, who had arranged the work in the field, he hurried over, and when he arrived, he heard Lu's father's words, and he couldn't believe his ears.
