I told four or five times that my brother had already entered the camp and that the provincial capital could raise half his salary.He has come to his senses and is happy.So I told him to calm down and recuperate, not to worry about the battalion office, and he was relieved when I informed Nanxing Jiangyu on his behalf.On the 14th, my family hired someone to send him to Yin's home. If the treatment is done properly, he can get better in half a month, but it is not easy to recover.

Chen Boxing came to my house on the twelfth day. Because of his guilt, he dared not go out to socialize, so he wanted to escape to the countryside.Huang Zichun's official reputation is very good, he is diligent and decisive in handling litigation cases, everyone fears him, and the date of his younger brother's arrival in the province is calculated to be 20 days.I am looking forward to your letter within a few days.
