To be honest, she didn't dare to donate too much. If she stood out too much and attracted the attention of malicious people, she was afraid that she would be in danger!
Yu Yang's school also appealed for donations, but Chen Hong didn't dare let him stand out too much. She only let him donate his New Year's money, a total of two thousand yuan.
This amount is neither too much nor too little for their class; many children from well-off families donated their savings.
During this period, the community not only encouraged donations but also asked residents to donate clothing.
Chen Hong washed and packed all of Yu Yang's outgrown clothes and donated them to the community.
Chen Hong, dressed casually, mingled in the crowd, carrying a large package while standing in line in the square, chatting with her neighbors about the earthquake news.
Our country is now very strong. No matter what kind of disaster we encounter, as long as the government gives an order, we have the manpower and the resources we need.
People from all walks of life generously donated money, truly embodying the spirit of "when one place is in trouble, help comes from all sides!"
The entire month of May passed by in a flurry of news reports about earthquake disasters.
Chen Hong also cleared out two wardrobes in her home. In fact, she knew that some people were truly dedicated to public welfare activities, contributing their meager strength free of charge.
Some people are simply being swept along by the prevailing circumstances, engaging in mere formalities. Whether these donated supplies actually reach the disaster victims is anyone's guess!
Chen Hong followed the crowd and did whatever her neighbors did. Lately, she has gotten used to carrying cash when she goes out.
When I went to school, there were donation boxes; when I went to the shopping mall, there were donation boxes; when I returned to my neighborhood, there were also several donation boxes set up in the neighborhood.
When she sees others donating money, Chen Hong will also take out two hundred yuan from her wallet and put it into the donation box.
She pretended not to see others refusing to contribute. She was determined never to step forward!
On Children's Day, June 1st, Zhou Yi went home, stayed for three days, and then had to rush back to his unit.
Before leaving, Chen Hong handed him a bank card, saying, "I don't know how many of your former comrades-in-arms are in the disaster area."
There are ten million here. I don't want to donate to people I don't know well. You take this money and find a reliable person to manage it.
We can't control what others do, but as military spouses, all we can do is help the families of soldiers.
This money is for your exclusive use; it would be best to use it to help military families in need.
It's not easy being a soldier, but it's even harder for their families. When something happens at home, they can't find anyone to help. They're in a tough spot too!
Zhou Yi was shocked: "There's really ten million in this card? You didn't just take out all your savings, did you?"
Chen Hong laughed smugly: "How could that be! Don't worry, there's still money to spend at home! I won't empty the house, your wife isn't stupid!"
Zhou Yi was touched. This silly woman, taking out so much money, and still saying she wasn't stupid! "So much money, are you really willing to part with it? Don't regret it after I spend it."
This is equivalent to several years' worth of fishing income. You work yourself to the bone to save this money, and you're really thinking of giving it away to a complete stranger?
Chen Hong nodded: "I've thought it through, take it now, take it now, or I'll change my mind!"
After joking, Chen Hong solemnly said to Zhou Yi, "As a military family member, I also hope that someone will lend a helping hand in the face of disaster."
Besides, this money came easily; it was all earned from stocks. Spending it on the families of military personnel in the disaster area will surely make a difference!
According to the I Ching, as long as our family is safe and sound, money is just an external thing; it can be earned back after it's spent!
Being able to help those who truly need it is a blessing for our whole family!
Zhou Yi held the thin little card in his hand, feeling a warm and heavy feeling in his heart.
She truly lives up to her reputation as Zhou Yi's wife; her attitude of regarding money as dirt is exactly like his own.
They really are a perfect match!
"Then I'll take the money! To be honest, this money came at just the right time."
It just so happened that some of my comrades went to the disaster area for rescue and returned to organize a relief team to provide assistance to the families of active-duty soldiers and retired military personnel.
Sigh! It's heartbreaking to think about, but when disaster strikes, active-duty military personnel can't be with their families and can't get in touch with anyone who needs help.
The families of retired comrades are also having a hard time, especially those who retired from our unit, most of whom were injured or disabled.
Not only do they fail to help their families, but some even become a burden to them!
Chen Hong was also very sad: "We should give special consideration to those disabled veterans."
If you don't have enough money, give me a call and I can send you some more.
Zhou Yi laughed and said, "That's enough. You can make money, but you can't just fleece everyone. What if you get fleeced and bald?"
Don't worry, we've all discussed it. Everyone will contribute money or labor; we'll do everything we can to help our comrades get through this difficult time.
Zhou Yi left, taking with him the documents related to Chen Hong and her son's military service. Once the formalities are completed, Chen Hong and her son's household registration will also be transferred.
When the academic year ended and Yu Yang handed Chen Hong the certificate for being an outstanding student, it was also time for them to leave Jinan.
Chen Hong had already visited the houses allocated to her by the Beijing military unit. Due to the special nature of Zhouyi's unit, their unit did not have a separate family compound; instead, they were housed together with the family compounds of other brother units.
Chen Hong went to see the house that had been allocated to her, but it didn't have the kind of military wives described in novels, with accents from all over the country, arguing, fighting, and all sorts of bickering.
On the contrary, the family compound was quiet, even quieter than ordinary residential areas outside.
Chen Hong followed Zhou Yi into the family compound, registered at the entrance, and saw two young soldiers on guard.
