Mingxia had spent 25 days on the dike, and by the end of August, the floodwaters had gradually receded. Various units began to withdraw, and naturally, she was in the first batch to leave.
During this period, she had spent eighty thousand yuan, which included around ten thousand yuan for Zhang Yun's transportation and hard work fees; the rest of the seventy thousand was spent on purchasing meat, eggs, vegetables, fruits, and medicines for heat prevention.
It wasn't that she wasn't willing to spend more, but the soldiers lacked little, and this was all she could afford.
When she left, she took the kitchen utensils she had purchased back home and stored them in her home's storage room. The house came with a small storage room for parking at the front of the unit building that was provided to each household, so whether it were camp beds, pots and pans, or gas cylinders, she didn't feel like giving them away or throwing them out; she brought them all back home.
