It was about seven o'clock in the evening that the group arrived in the nearest town.

They are human beings, too, so they can't spend the night in the car, and besides, they haven't eaten since noon.

I directly found a hotel to live in, a standard room, sixty yuan a room, and there were two beds in it.

There are no hotels here at all, and even this small guesthouse has been looking for a long time before I came across it.

In the same room with him is a man named Da Zhuang, who is also the strength of the whole team, as long as it is manual work, he will take the initiative to do it.

He looks five big and three thick, and he is very powerful at first glance, but he is a little naïve, and he often smirks, so everyone gave him the nickname 'Da Zhuang'.

"Teacher Xu, tell me what you eat, and I'll bring it back later!" Da Zhuanghan said with a smile.

Xu Yang: "No, I will eat whatever you usually eat, I don't pay so much attention to it!"

"That's it!"

Anyway, Da Zhuang went out to buy food, but fortunately it was only eight o'clock at this time, and if it was ten o'clock in the evening, there might not be restaurants in this town that were still open.

At that time, a few people could only buy instant noodles at the supermarket, but fortunately it was not too late.

Although it was a small town, there were not many people who knew him and Han Hong in it, but with the principle that more things are better than less, everyone decided to buy them back and eat them.

Han Hong and his entourage usually go out very low-key, unless they are photographed by reporters, they almost do not deliberately publicize, except for fundraising, of course.

After a while, everyone gathered in a room, and Da Zhuang and the two girls went out to buy food, and more than a dozen people huddled in a hut to eat unpalatable meals.

"Sister Han, where are we going tomorrow?" asked Xu Yang.

Han Hong: "Tomorrow, I should go to the old people's village not far from here, where there are many old people, but fortunately, the population is not more than 20 households, we have understood, they are all relatively poor families, and there are even cases where parents are not there only grandparents with children, so we have to go over and have a look!"

Hearing this, he responded thoughtfully: "Our supplies are gone, how can we go?"

"If you have money, you can buy some rice and soybean oil directly tomorrow, and then simply buy some New Year's goods, and it's better to have some affordable ones than anything else!"

Thinking about it this way, as long as there is money, the rest is a small problem, after all, the people they are helping now say that the popular point is poor, and they are afraid that money can't solve the problem.

It is not uncommon for them to give money directly, but in most cases they are still mainly based on materials.

After the meal, everyone went back to the house to rest, after more than a day of running, everyone was tired, and they couldn't rest well in the car, and they all counted on this sleep to give them back blood.

The next day, February 5th, a week before the Chinese New Year, the smell of the New Year on the street became more and more intense, but their group was racing against time.

Because they have just completed the first stop, although they are doing public welfare, no one wants to be unable to go home for the New Year, so in order to have a good New Year with their families, everyone is also full of energy.

He slept until 8 o'clock in the morning, and when he woke up, he found that Da Zhuang was long gone.

Maybe it was because he was too tired yesterday and he slept a little dead, so he hurried out of the house.

As soon as I came out, I saw the fat man packing his things.

"Yo, Teacher Xu is awake!"

"Well, everyone, fat brother, why didn't you see anyone else?" asked Xu Yang.

Fat man: "Oh, they went to buy New Year's goods, the calculation time should be about the same, Sister Han didn't call you when she saw that you were sleeping soundly, let you sleep more!"

Hearing this, he couldn't help but feel a little ashamed, he didn't expect that he would be a laggard here, and even the girls in the team got up earlier than him.

"Well, okay!" Although he said this, he still made up his mind that he must get up early in the future, at least he can't let others wait for him!

Ten minutes later, Han Hong and the others came back from collecting goods.

Everyone packed their bags and set off directly.

This time, the box was filled with some grain and oil, and it was large and took up a lot of space, but fortunately, there were not many households there.

By ten o'clock in the morning, the group had already driven to the village.

In fact, they couldn't tell that this was a village, because there were too few people in it, and there were mountains all around, and if it weren't for the dilapidated mud houses, they would have thought they were in the wrong place.

Several people parked their cars at the entrance of the village, because they couldn't get into the car inside.

Looking at this village, earthen houses are the norm, and the only family houses that look affluent are only walls made of large bricks and cement.

If you were in the city, you'd be a rough house, but it's already good here.

In the end, everyone began to act separately, and the two began to visit their homes as a couple, and then explained the situation.

After visiting, he seemed to know why this village was called the village of the elderly, and he didn't see a young man at the bottom of this year, all of them were some old grandparents, except for the elderly, the most were children.

There is an old man who said very right, the young and strong have gone out to beg for a living, some have taken their parents away, some have not come back because their children are outside, and some have no children and no daughters, in short, the situation is very bad.

Then everyone began to work, each family had a bag of rice, a bag of noodles and a barrel of oil, several of them were in charge of rice and noodles, girls were responsible for getting oil, and of course there were also very old men who came out to help.

There was still the last one left after a while, and at this time, he and the fat man went to the front to explore the way, and the people in the back took the supplies in the back.

Before they reached the door, the two saw a little boy, who should be 8-9 years old, sitting on a stone on the side of the road, and there was a mud-walled house behind him, and he knew that this was a grandfather and grandmother with two grandchildren, and it seemed that this was one of them.

Walking up to him, Xu Yang suddenly felt that he didn't feel good in his heart.

"Hello, is it Uncle Wang's house in front of you?" asked Xu Yang.

"Well, yes, but my grandfather isn't home!"

Then the two expressed their intentions and chatted with each other.

"Are you cold!" Xu Yang asked as he touched the other party's shoes.

"Cold!" the boy replied, shivering.

It's strange if it's not cold, because the other party is wearing sandals, not even socks, and only wearing a sweater on the upper body, not to mention that it is shorter, which doesn't look like his clothes at all.

"This isn't your clothes, is it?"

"It's my clothes, I'm getting taller, I don't have money to buy new clothes. ”

Through understanding, the two learned that the boy was two years old, and his father died when his younger brother was one year old, and then his mother remarried, and then the two grew up with their grandparents.

When he heard from an eight or nine-year-old child, "Mommy doesn't want to feed us anymore", he and the fat man's hearts were pinched at the same time.

But when the two asked him if he wanted his mother, the other party's answer was 'yes', because everyone else had a mother, but they didn't.

Seriously, Xu Yang can especially understand his feelings, because he also felt this way when he was a child, why do others have parents but I don't.

But fortunately, he is not the only one who does not have parents around him, but it will be better, and now that he grows up, he will not think about those who have and don't.

Then he immediately informed the people behind him and asked them to get two sets of children's clothes in the car, which were left over from yesterday for those students, and they came in handy.

When the people behind followed, he told everyone about the situation again, Han Hong had red eyes at that time, and went to the boy's house with the other party, there was only one grandmother and another little boy in it.

Hurriedly handed over the clothes and asked the two children to change them first, and Da Zhuang and they moved the rice and flour oil into it again.

The old grandmother kept saying words of thanks, while Han Hong was holding each other's hands on the side, and promised her that she would cover the tuition fees for the two children in the future.

When the matter was over, and they were about to go back, the grandmother of the family came out with a piece of pork and had to give it to them.

"There's not much to eat, you take it back and eat it!"

Looking at the grandmother who couldn't even speak, everyone smiled and declined this generous gift, because a few people knew that this might be the best food in the family.

Before leaving, he took out a handful of candy from his pocket, handed it to the two little boys, and said, "Study hard."

"Thank you, uncle!" *2

He is a person who is not good at words, especially in this case, because there are too many feelings in his heart, and Xu Yang seems to see the shadow of his childhood in them.

There are thousands of sufferings in the world, and the word 'poor' alone sums up ninety percent, birth, old age, sickness and death belong to force majeure, you can't ask for it, you can't let it go, and no one can help outsiders.

Looking at the three people standing at the door of the house waving to them, he seemed to understand why Han Hong had been so obsessed with charity.

Some people can't see this kind of thing by nature, and their hearts are too soft, so Han Hong has been doing it for 20 years.
