The groom was kidnapped on the wedding day? Fine! I'll marry someone else.

When Xu Yu heard this, her heart tightened. She suddenly remembered that next year would be the year when the battles with the jackals on the border would be the most fierce. It would also be a critical year to determine whether we could scare them away, let the great powers see that our country would no longer be bullied, and end the border defense war.

She asked Jiang Yi: "Are you going to the front line then?"

Jiang Yi shook his head: "I won't go. I'm responsible for guarding the rear."

The soldiers under his command are not meant to be taken to war, and his superiors will not send him to fight.

Xu Yu actually guessed it too.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Yi said, "Wife, in the next few months, we will go back to our hometown. I will help you and be your bodyguard."

Xu Yu was stunned by his words, then realized: "Maybe the other people in the military were too embarrassed to ask me for medicine, so they assigned this task to you."

Jiang Yi knew his wife would guess it immediately, so he didn't hide it. He put his arms around her waist from behind, rested his chin on her head, hummed, and said, "Wife, you don't know how important you are to our military."

The military needs medicine, and Jiang Yi's task this time is to help her make more medicine and better medicine.

So after a few days, the two of them took Tangtang Guoguo, who was already attending the family kindergarten, back home.

On the way back, Guoguo asked them: "Mom and Dad, we are going back. Will my brother and I not go to kindergarten?"

Xu Yu asked her in return: "Do you want to stay here and go to kindergarten?"

Guoguo shook her head at her: "I want to go back with you."

Xu Yu touched her head and said, "It will be the same when we teach you at home. We will go to school next year."

Tangtang Guoguo was very happy and immediately responded crisply, "Okay."

The two of them were very low-key when they returned this time, and Jiang Yi's subordinates went in several groups.

However, after the two returned, the villagers soon found out.

After all, they didn't restrict Tangtang Guoguo from playing anywhere, so as long as they saw the two little ones, they knew that Xu Yu and the others must have returned.

But no one talked too much about it.

The purpose of their return was not hidden from Dr. Hu and Dr. Huang. Xu Yu even called Xu Jianjun and said, "Brother, put everything else aside and help me buy large quantities of these herbs from various provinces over the next few months... The more of them, the better."

Xu Jianjun didn't ask why and just replied, "Okay."

Then Xu Yu worked with Doctor Huang and Doctor Hu to research more medicines that could be used by the troops, and used all the machines to produce medicines.

Jiang Yize took people to the mountains to collect herbs every day.

But not long after, the military district issued a recall order.

Everyone knew that a war was coming.

However, the veterans from Xu Yu's factory and Xu Jianjun were not called back. They were helping Xu Yu, and the military would definitely not recall them.

Knowing that there would be a tough battle to be fought at the border, the two brothers would come to Xu Yu's house whenever they were free and ask what they could do.

Jiang Yi asked Xu Jianjun to purchase the medicinal materials properly.

As for Xu Jianping, he did not make any demands on him.

After returning home, Xu Jianping discussed with Xiao Tang: "Wife, I plan to save the dried meat and bacon I made and not sell them. If a war really breaks out, I will donate them to the soldiers on the front lines."

Xiao Tang also agreed.

……

Although Jiang Yi was in his hometown, he brought back the best communication equipment and technical personnel, so after he came back, he asked for a separate office in the factory. Various orders were issued every day, and many calls were answered every day.

Not long after, the director of the Women's Federation in the compound called and asked Xu Yu if she wanted to participate in the fundraising. They planned to raise a sum of money in advance to buy cotton clothes for the soldiers going to the battlefield.

Xu Yu must participate.

Not only did she participate herself, she also called Xie Lange and Liu Fengjuan to discuss with them the possibility of launching fundraising in the Haicheng business district and the Guangdong business district.

Liu Fengjuan and Xie Lange quickly replied that they could, and they both asked Xu Yu to be the initiator of the fundraising, and all the money raised would be managed by her.

Xu Yu was sure that he would not be able to manage it on his own, so he talked about this with Jiang Yi.

Jiang Yi reported the matter directly to the headquarters.

Headquarters also gave instructions.

Then the relevant departments above launched a national fundraising campaign.

Xu Yu took the lead and donated two million.

After Xu Yu took the lead, he was immediately praised by his superiors. Then, not only did more and more wealthy people in Haicheng and Guangdong Province donate money, but more and more people in Kyoto and other provincial capitals also donated money.

When the Xu family learned about the fundraising, except for Xu Jianjun who was still out buying herbs and Xu Jianhua who was studying, everyone else in the Xu family came to Xu Yu's house.

Several uncles and aunts each contributed 1,000 yuan.

Zhao Cui'e took 30,000 yuan on behalf of the couple.

Xu Jianping and his wife also received 30,000 yuan.

Even Xu Kui and Zhang Hongmei took out several thousand yuan.

Jiang Yi accepted the money they donated, stood at attention, saluted them, and said, "Thank you, everyone."

Everyone immediately said, "As long as the border war is not over, we will not be at peace. Donating this money will be like contributing to the country."

"Yes, the country is in trouble, and we must also do our part."

……

Then everyone in the factory donated money, even my third uncle's family.

Yang Wenhui and Jiang Qingyun even donated all the money Xu Yu and others had given them in the past few years.

When Jiang Yi sent someone to deliver the money to the provincial capital, Xu Yu and the others were standing in the yard, still talking about the border war.

As they were talking, Xu Yu suddenly asked Xu Jianping: "Brother, do you feel bad about donating so much money?"

Xu Jianping reached out and tapped her forehead.

This time Xu Yu didn't dodge and glared at him unhappily.

Xu Jianping said to her with a stern face, "Don't look down on me, your second brother! Without the stability of our motherland, how could I live such a good life? Since our motherland needs us, I will definitely do my best to help."

Xu Yu bared his teeth and said, "I don't know who cried like a fool when more than a dozen pigs died."

This made Xiao Tang, who was standing next to him, laugh. Xiao Tang also deliberately said to him, "Indeed, someone cried like a fool at the time."

"Is that the same?" Xu Jianping blushed. He said to them, "Those were pigs I worked so hard to raise. I'd definitely be sad if they died, but the money we donated will help us have a better environment and make more money in the future. I know what's more important."

Hearing this, Xu Yu stopped laughing and said to him seriously, "Second brother, you are right. As long as our soldiers drive away those jackals, tigers and leopards, our country will definitely get better and better. Then we will have a better environment to make a lot of money. Then we can promote our business to the world together."

Xu Jianping immediately raised his fist and nodded in agreement: "Okay, that's it."

This made everyone laugh.

Everyone seems to have seen a better and better future for our country.

……

In April of the following year, good news came from the border. Jiang Yi immediately told Xu Yu the good news: "Wife, we have won a great victory!"

Xu Yu said excitedly: "Brother Yi, our new era has arrived."
