The next day, the soldiers were to leave for the battlefield.

Five military trucks were parked outside the training ground. Three of these trucks were for soldiers to ride in, and two were used to transport supplies.

The officers whose families were here all came to see them off.

The hospital specially granted Lin Qingyan leave, allowing her to arrive at the hospital two hours later and use that time to see Lu Zhengting off.

She straightened Lu Zhengting's military uniform. Although she was mentally prepared and tried her best to control herself, she still couldn't help but tear up, and warm tears kept flowing from her eyes.

Once a soldier goes to the battlefield, he may face a nine-out-of-ten chance of death. "Zheng Ting."

Lu Zhengting felt a pang of sadness in his heart. He raised his hand to wipe away the tears on his wife's face and pulled her into his arms.

"Honey, don't worry. For you, for our little family, for our future, I will definitely come back alive."

Not only them, but soon a series of cries of anguish rang out from all around.

"Dog Egg, remember this, no matter what, you can't die out there. I'm still waiting for you to take care of me in my old age and see me off when I die."

"Honey, the three of us are waiting for you. Please be safe and sound, sob sob sob..."

The farewell scene instantly transformed into a scene of life and death.

One of the women cried the loudest; that was Sister Yang.

Her husband, Wang Dahai, was also sent on a mission. Sister Yang, who already had a loud voice, cried so hard that she wanted everyone around her to hear her. "Waaah, Dahai, fight well on the battlefield. You are the pride of our family. The children are all proud of you."

Don't worry, I'll take good care of the children and be a good son-in-law at home. You can focus on serving the country without worrying about us.

Her mother-in-law wiped away her tears and tugged at her, "Yuhuan, keep your voice down. Dahai is perfectly fine. You're making such a racket, it sounds like you're wailing."

"Mother, I'm just worried about the sea."

Those soldiers who had no family members to see them off, upon seeing this scene, seemed to see their parents far away in their hometowns, and they couldn't help but shed tears silently.

Today's send-off ceremony featured a performance by the cultural troupe's band, while the dance troupe, instead of performing, cheered on the soldiers from the sidelines.

Liu Manman circled around to Feng Yidong and ordered him again: "Remember what I said, you must come back safe and sound, or I will ignore you and find someone else."

Feng Yidong smiled and said, "I will certainly follow Comrade Liu Manman's instructions."

Liu Manman was amused by him and reached out to hug him.

Jiang Yue, standing beside her, felt a pang of envy and silently prayed that Feng Yidong would return safely, as would the other soldiers.

The farewell ceremony ended quickly, and the soldiers boarded trucks and headed towards the war-torn front.

Lu Zhengting made all sorts of promises to Lin Qingyan, but once on the battlefield, he didn't care about anything else.

"Comrades! Soldiers are not afraid to die; those who are afraid of death should not be soldiers. For our victory, for our motherland and our families, charge forward!"

Even after Lu Zhengting left, Lin Qingyan continued to go to work at the hospital every day.

After the first batch of hemostatic drugs is produced, more need to be made.

However, the soldiers who gathered herbs had already memorized all the herbs, so she and the other doctors no longer needed to supervise them when they gathered herbs. She continued to work at the hospital as usual.

That day, a junior officer from the logistics department approached her, saying that the army was going to award the military wives who had previously gone up the mountain to collect herbs with a bar of soap and a towel for each of them.

The prizes were moved directly to the family compound, and the military wives who had previously collected medicinal herbs all went to collect their rewards with smiles on their faces.

"I knew it! The army won't treat us badly. This was supposed to be a voluntary herb-gathering activity, but they even gave us a reward."

The military wives who were gathering herbs arrived quickly. Sister Wang, true to her kind nature, enthusiastically and actively distributed the prizes to the military wives who were gathering herbs, together with the junior officer.

Lin Sisi and Wu Fengzhen also came, but unfortunately they didn't receive any prizes.

Wu Fengzhen complained, "I also gathered herbs, why didn't I get a prize?"

The junior officer said, "Sister-in-law, it seems like two military wives aren't being proactive in gathering herbs, they're deliberately slacking off and just filling in the numbers. You, you wouldn't happen to be one of them, would you?"

This made Wu Fengzhen blush.

"I... I didn't mean to be lazy. I'm not in good health, but I wanted to contribute to the army. If I was slow in gathering herbs, people would say I was deliberately being lazy and just filling in the numbers."

She looked very aggrieved.

The junior staff member scratched his head. "I'm sorry, sister-in-law, there are only twelve of these prizes. If I give them to you, there will be fewer for others."

Sister Yang said, "Wu Fengzhen, you're not very enthusiastic about gathering herbs, but you're quite enthusiastic when it comes to asking for things."

"I told you, it's not that I'm not proactive, it's just that I'm not in good health and can't do it."

"If you can't do the work, then you haven't done any work. You want things even though you haven't done any work? If we give you the things, what about the people who did the work? You're trying to seize other people's property; that's an act of aggression."

"What act of aggression? I just came to collect my prize, how did that constitute aggression?"

Other military wives were afraid that she would take their share and leave them with nothing, so they also started to scold her.

"You haven't done any work, what do you want? You say you're weak, and it seems you have a point. Can't we all pretend to be sick at home, not do any work, and still come to collect our prizes?"

"You want to receive a prize without doing any work? Do you think this is a windfall? You're taking what belongs to others, while they do the work and get nothing. Wouldn't that be unfair? You're just stingy and greedy."

Wu Fengzhen blushed immediately after what they said, "Okay, okay, I don't want it anymore. I didn't know there were only twelve portions; I thought there was one for me."
