Because Lu Xingzhi and Colonel Lin had been away from the army for a long time and had narrowly escaped death, they finally returned to the army with great glory. Therefore, on the way back, many people surrounded the two of them and had endless things to say.
Lu Xingzhi and Colonel Lin had both been awarded the First Class Meritorious Service Medal. This was a medal that many people would not necessarily receive in their lifetime.
"Regiment Commander, Company Commander, many soldiers have sacrificed in this rescue mission. The army has started a charity donation drive. Do you two want to participate?" Zhou Junmin asked.
Although only Lu Xingzhi and Colonel Lin had participated in the Jin City army this time, the other troops had sacrificed many people. Because so many people had been sacrificed, several other troops had joined forces to launch a donation drive. They also hoped that the more people there were, the more security they could provide for the families of their fallen comrades.
"Donate." Colonel Lin inquired about the donation amount and then reported the amount he wanted to donate. He turned around to look at Lu Xingzhi.
Lu Xingzhi did not need to ask. Zhou Junmin said, "I've asked around. There are company commanders from other battalions who have donated thirty-four, fifty, or even a hundred." There was no one else with this rank.
"Write it down to a hundred for me," Lu Xingzhi replied and then went upstairs with Jiang Yao.
It was not that Lu Xingzhi did not have money, nor was it that he did not want to donate more for the families of the martyrs he had never met. It was just that many things could not be done on one go.
Lu Xingzhi was rich, but in the army, he was only a company commander. If he donated more money than the people above him, he would be in the limelight, but others would not be in the limelight.
No matter where it was, it was taboo to stand out like this.
Jiang Yao was not a little girl who did not know the ways of the world. She understood the twists and turns that could not be said in words. It was the same principle as donating to a colleague in the hospital. No matter how good their relationship was, they had to follow the unspoken rules on the surface. No one would care how they helped in private.
Strictly speaking, the memorial service in the afternoon should be a memorial service.
The army arranged for cars to send the people attending the memorial service to the capital. The memorial service was held at the Martyrs' Mausoleum in the suburbs of the capital. All the martyrs who had sacrificed themselves and did not return home were buried here.
Jiang Yao once again saw the girl that Zhou Weiqi had a crush on.
Beside Zhan Qiuhe should be her parents. Both of them had white hair and Mother Zhan's face was so thin that it was almost skin and bones. It was obvious that the pain of losing her son was a huge blow to her.
"I heard from Fourth Brother that Zhan Qiuhe's eldest brother was buried here a few years ago. Her parents cried until they fainted in front of the mausoleum. Half a month ago, her younger brother also came in. The girl cried until she could barely speak." Jiang Yao looked at the few people from the Zhan Family with pity. No one would be able to accept such a heavy blow.
Jiang Yao understood the pain of seeing someone important lying here forever in a deep sleep. It was like wanting to use both hands to dig up the dust and wake the person up.
"Lu Xingzhi, I still say the same thing. No matter how dangerous or difficult your mission is in the future, you have to come back alive." Jiang Yao threw Lu Xingzhi the words forcefully. "Even if you have to take your last breath."
Lu Xingzhi stared fixedly at the person beside him. He was silent for a few seconds before he grunted.
