Chapter 71

Lin Jinping returned to the army in the evening. It was already very late after finishing the finishing work. He went directly to the canteen to have dinner.

After leaving the canteen after the meal, he didn't go home directly. Instead, he walked to the mailroom.

It's been nearly a month since I left on this mission, and I haven't picked up the letter from Xiao Meng yet. After not replying for so long, she should have guessed that she was on a mission.

Lin Jinping was thinking about it. Just thinking about his lover, the corners of his mouth raised unconsciously.

He thought about getting the letter back, and after reading it, he would write a reply tonight, just in time to send it back tomorrow, so as not to worry Xiao Meng.

The mailroom is open until eight o'clock in the evening, so that soldiers who are too busy during the day can come to pick up mail in the evening or after dinner.

Of course, it normally closes at six o'clock, which means that Uncle Huang in the mail room has nothing to do, so he is happy to stay here and be considerate of everyone.

Lin Jinping knocked on the door: "Uncle Huang, I'm Lin Jinping, I'm here to get a letter."

Uncle Huang saw him smiling: "Just came back from a mission?"

He knew this young man well and often went to the mailroom to pick up letters and mail them. If you don't come after a while, you must be on a mission. And on the day he comes back from the mission, he will definitely come to pick up the letter.

Lin Jinping nodded: "Well, I just came back."

The letters were arranged according to date. They were almost all obtained some time ago. Uncle Huang found them after rummaging a few times and handed them to him: "Take them."

"Thank you, Uncle Huang."

Lin Jinping took the letter with a smile on his face.

It's not surprising that there was only one letter. When Xiaomeng didn't reply, she knew that he was on a mission. She didn't send another letter, so it was normal to wait for his reply.

Seeing how funny he looked, Uncle Huang shook his head. He remembered something and said, "Oh, by the way, your lover seemed to have called to see you a while ago. After the correspondent confirmed it, he told her that you were on a mission, and she didn't say anything happened. .You can call back tomorrow and ask."

The mailroom and communications room are adjacent to each other, and the sound of calling someone to answer the phone is loud and can be heard to some extent.

Uncle Huang usually didn't care about this, but that day the correspondent was looking for Captain Lin Jinping at the liaison unit. Uncle Huang thought that he often came to pick up and send letters and had frequent contacts with his family, so he paid more attention.

After hearing this, Lin Jinping subconsciously squeezed the letter in his hand. There must be something urgent when Xiaomeng called, but he was on a mission and didn't receive the call.

He was filled with emotions, worry, anxiety, and guilt. Unfortunately, the communication room was closed at six o'clock in the evening, and he had to wait until tomorrow morning to make a call.

Lin Jinping: "Thank you, Uncle Huang, for reminding me, otherwise I really wouldn't know about this."

Uncle Huang smiled: "It's a small matter, you're welcome."

Lin Jinping thanked Uncle Huang again and walked to the family building, feeling no longer as happy and comfortable as when he came.

He was thinking about what happened to Xiao Meng, so he called in such a hurry. When she called, she should have received the letter earlier than usual, and she hadn't guessed that she was going on a mission.
