Gu Qingbei said that Jiang Mengxue took notes in a notebook and each of Gu's father's comrades gave fifty yuan.

In addition, Huang Haiwu and others gave thirty yuan, the director of the hospital gave ten yuan, and Xie Sheng and Gao Yiyi each gave five yuan.

Jiang Mengxue only accepted the donations from a few of them, and didn't accept donations from other doctors in the hospital. The main reason was that they were not that familiar with each other. They got married just a few days after arriving, and they didn't even attend the wedding, so it was embarrassing to ask them for a gift.

There were also gifts they brought, teacups, kettles, towels and pillowcases.

Jiang Mengxue has become numb to seeing these things now. It seems that these are the gifts everyone gives now.

I sorted them all and put them in the cabinet, and gave them away as gifts in the future. Otherwise, I would never use so many of them if I kept them at home.

Gu Qingbei wrote down his connections at home and some basic information and left them to Jiang Mengxue, so that she could go to them if she really encountered something she couldn't solve.

Jiang Mengxue didn't refuse either. More friends mean more paths, and it is necessary to maintain good relationships.

Just like when I was in the hospital, many relatives and friends would go out of their way to build good relationships with me.

When she encountered this problem, I tried my best to help her. Now is a society where people are favored by each other. If you help me and I help you, everyone's life will be better.

Even neighbors who live in the same yard and have no relationship with each other sometimes get along better than relatives.

In the afternoon, Jiang Mengxue spent the whole afternoon cleaning the yard and then cleaning the Luo family's house. She planned to return the key when she was free in the next few days.

The two had just finished in the evening, and Jiang Mengxue was lying in Gu Qingbei's arms preparing to sleep when someone knocked on the door outside.

The noise was so loud that they could hear it in the middle courtyard. Gu Qingbei got up, put on his clothes and prepared to go see what was going on.

"Is Gu Qingbei here? Which room does he live in?"

Gu Qingbei just happened to open the door and come out: "It's me, what's up?"

The visitor breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately he had not found the wrong person: "This is a telegram from the army, asking you to return as quickly as possible. The train will leave tomorrow morning." Then he handed the telegram in his hand to Gu Qingbei.

Gu Qingbei read the contents of the telegram clearly and said, "There is a mission, come back quickly." He immediately turned around and went back to the house.

"Qingxue, I have to go back to the army immediately." Then he started packing his luggage.

Jiang Mengxue had just heard the voices outside and got up and put on her clothes. "You have a train tomorrow morning. I'll pack you something to eat on the way. What time is the train? I'll take you to the train station."

As she said that, she got out of bed to see if there was anything she could bring him. She packed a few bottles of her homemade meat sauce, which she also added mushrooms, peanuts, and sesame seeds to enhance the flavor. It was very delicious when she added it to her wraps or rice.

Fried small fish, wrapped in flour and sprinkled with five-spice powder, are packed in cans. Although they are not as delicious as freshly fried ones, they are still very delicious when chewed as snacks.

There was a big bag of multi-grain pancakes and homemade pork jerky, which was very chewy.

There is also a sweater I knitted before. I originally planned to knit two sets for him to change into, but it is too late now. I can only let him wear one first and send the other set to him after it is knitted.

After walking around the house for a long time and filling a big bag with food and clothes for him, they got on the kang and prepared to go to sleep when they saw that it was already too late.

At night, Gu Qingbei hugged Jiang Mengxue and was reluctant to let go. The newly married couple was about to face separation and was filled with reluctance.

The next morning, before dawn, Jiang Mengxue got up to prepare breakfast.

She simply mixed some bread and made a big bowl of dumplings, then cooked some millet porridge, boiled twenty eggs, and twenty salted duck eggs for Gu Qingbei to eat on the train.

It takes two or three days to get from here to the army by train. During these days, they can only buy food on the train. Not only is it expensive, but the food doesn't taste good either.

Jiang Mengxue tried to prepare as much as possible and buy some noodles to make do with when the time comes.

The two of them rode a bicycle with two large bags hanging on it. One contained Gu Qingbei's original things, and the other contained various foods prepared by Jiang Mengxue.

When they arrived at the train station, Jiang Mengxue remembered that she had not given him the money she had prepared, so she took out a small wallet she had made from her cross-body bag.

"There's money in there for you. Your passbooks are all with me. If you need any, it's too late to tell me. There are also the receipts your parents sent me before. I don't need any of them at home. Take them and share them with any of your comrades who need them, or check with your parents to see if they need any and send some back to them.

Also, don't send all of your monthly allowance back. You know I'm not short of money, so you should keep some for yourself. I know you support the orphans of your comrades every month, so keep it as usual. Our family doesn't need it either, so don't stop suddenly and leave them with no way to live."

Then he lowered his voice and said, "We all know where our money is. If you need it, take it yourself."

Jiang Mengxue had previously seen Gu Qingbei's remittance receipts to many places in the space, each amount being five or ten yuan. She guessed that they were sent to the families or children of his comrades.

She strongly supports this. They are living a good life now, but many families left behind by deceased soldiers are not living well.

There are only elderly people and children left at home, and they rely on the monthly subsidy from the families of martyrs, making it difficult to make ends meet.

Although the money Gu Qingbei sent was not much, it was enough for them to have enough food and clothing. They couldn't afford any more.

Gu Qingbei didn't expect that she had already seen it. He had been too busy recently and didn't think about talking about this. Although he knew she would agree, he was still very happy that she could understand him.

They watched their comrades who fought side by side with them every day die on the battlefield and never return, leaving behind orphans and widows, many of whom had elderly parents and young children to take care of.
