No. 923: The Lonely Volunteer (2)

Lonely Volunteer Zhang Baotong 2018.8.20

Originally, I had made an appointment to call Zhong Xiaoxian before nine o'clock in the evening, because she had to call Aunt Yang before ten o'clock. But by half past nine in the evening, no one had answered her. It made her feel a little angry. So, she called Zhang Peihua, but his phone was turned off, which made her a little annoyed. So, she called Yang Weiqun. Yang Weiqun didn't answer the phone, but sent a text message, saying that as soon as he mentioned this to his parents, his parents scolded him so badly that he didn't dare to finish his words. Finally, I apologize very sincerely.

Originally, she didn't want to call Liu Xiuqing, but Zhang Peihua and Yang Weiqun refused, and there was really no one else, so she had to call Liu Xiuqing.

Liu Xiuqing took the phone and asked, "Is there no one who wants to go?"

Frustrated, she said, "Yes." Everyone usually speaks noblely, but at the critical moment, they all become turtles with shrunken heads. ”

But Liu Xiuqing said, "Don't make a fuss about this, after all, there are still a few people who can be as noble as Principal Huang." If nothing else, it is impossible for you to do it yourself, don't look at the fact that you have always been Principal Huang's protΓ©gΓ© in the past. ”

Hearing this, Zhong Xiaoxian couldn't ask Liu Xiuqing if he was willing to volunteer. Moreover, Liu Xiuqing is a girl, and it is inconvenient to go there. She sighed and said, "If it weren't for Li Yunxiang's efforts to find me a job in Shanghai, I would have gone by myself, no matter what, I wouldn't have let Principal Huang delay his treatment." ”

Liu Xiuqing smiled and said, "Your ideological realm is really too noble, and you are worthy of being Principal Huang's favorite disciple." ”

When Zhong Xiaoxian heard this, he felt very uncomfortable, so he said, "Forget it, don't joke with me." ”

After making the call, Zhong Xiaoxian was in a very heavy mood, thinking about how she should explain to Aunt Yang?

She sighed silently, calmed down for a moment, and said in a cheerful tone, "Aunt Yang, don't worry, as soon as I tell Principal Huang about this, everyone is vying to go." Because everyone is arguing fiercely, it is not yet decided who should go. However, you can rest assured that Principal Huang will have surgery. ”

When Aunt Yang heard this, she immediately became happy and said, "I'm still worried that no one wants to go." The students have just graduated from college and are busy looking for jobs, so how can they have time to go to that barren mountain island to teach substitute teachers to the children. I'm so happy to hear that. With that, she handed the phone to Principal Huang.

Principal Huang said, "Xiaoxian, it's too difficult for you to do this. Thank you so much. ”

Zhong Xiaoxian said, "Don't thank me, it's because your deeds are so touching, everyone says that you have sacrificed everything for the children in the Lake District, and you can't let you be sick and no one cares." Principal Huang, you can treat and recuperate with peace of mind, and you can leave the affairs of the children in the Lake District alone. ”

Principal Huang said, "Thank you so much, Xiaoxian. ”

After a while, Aunt Yang called again and said that the doctor had arranged for Principal Huang to have surgery to remove the colon tumor at 9 o'clock tomorrow morning. This made a big stone in Zhong Xiaoxian's heart fall to the ground all of a sudden. Principal Huang and his family have no children in their lives, so this makes Zhong Xiaoxian feel like their daughter, making a major decision for them and saving them from a major crisis. This feeling made her feel very relieved and proud. However, she also knew that she did not relieve the crisis for Principal Huang and his wife, but shifted the burden on their shoulders to her own shoulders. She also thought about it, if there was really no one to go to that isolated island, she would go alone, anyway, she couldn't watch Principal Huang hold on and delay her illness.

Because she couldn't sleep, she sat in the living room and watched TV. Actually, she said that she was watching TV, but she kept thinking about her heart. At this time, the TV program began to show the deeds of an elderly couple in their 60s planting trees on the Gobi Desert in Xinjiang. This caught her attention, and she felt that the old man was like Principal Huang and Aunt Yang. These two shabby-dressed old men have planted trees in the desert for 40 years, planted more than 9 million trees, and turned more than 10 square kilometers of desert into green forest. What is the concept of more than 9 million trees? It's too big for her to imagine. But it made her feel like the couple was so great. Although they lived in a well-ventilated house with nothing but a few very rudimentary beds and pots and pans, there seemed to be nothing else in the house. But there is a spirit and power in them that makes people revered and moved.

After watching TV, she lay in bed and kept thinking: one can live for oneself and for others. People who live for themselves can find an easy job, live in a comfortable big house, and live a life of comfort and pleasure. And people who live for others, they always work hard and selflessly for others. Mr. and Mrs. Huang are people who live for others, and everything they do is really like using their lives as candles to burn themselves and illuminate others.

Yes, who doesn't want to make a different career in life and leave an extraordinary experience? But how many people can really do this? She studied literature, loved reading since she was a child, and it was her dream to become a writer. However, to become a writer, you must not only have a smooth writing, but more importantly, you must have rich life experiences and life experiences. And what she lacks most is this rich experience and experience. So, that's what she's been thinking about over and over again for the past two days.
