Chapter 103: Awkward silence

"Chen Xin. Zhou Hao poked his head out of the cab and beckoned Chen Xin to get in the car, "Sister Cheng said that she and Brother Song went to pick up the two children at night, and they brought them over together by the way." I'll go with you to pick up Yi Bai and Bai Mengqing first, as well as Yi Bai's mother. ”

They plan to spend the weekend together at a new hot spring resort nearby. The old couple of the Liu family and Liu Chunyan have already passed, and Liu Jianmin can't go to work. Sister Cheng's family of four and her two children got off work at night and went over to take the fast track of travel, which took less than two hours, and they could catch up with the finish of the meal in a hurry.

This hot spring villa was opened by Zhou Hao's old comrades-in-arms. The man didn't have to work after he was discharged from the army, so he took a resettlement fee and partnered with several brothers to build the villa.

It is said to be a mountain villa, but it is actually not big. It is at the angle of the military sanatorium, and it is also a newly developed attraction belonging to that mountain range.

"There are a lot of people who have this resort this year, and my mother said that the foot of the mountain in my father's hometown is surrounded by the resort, and the business is not bad. ”

Bai Mengqing is in good spirits now, reviewing his homework while working part-time, and also running projects with volunteers from charities. After more things happened, she looked much more cheerful than before, and her face was a little fleshy.

Originally, Bai's mother felt a little sorry for her daughter and didn't want Bai Mengqing to volunteer, but Bai's father supported her daughter's decision, saying that the family didn't need Bai Mengqing to earn money to support the family, and she would do whatever she wanted while she was young now.

In the past, Daddy Bai cared a lot about his daughter, but basically arranged her life for his daughter, and didn't pay much attention to the rest. Now it's different, after all kinds of twists and turns this year, Daddy Bai feels that the most important thing in life is to be happy, they are parents, and they hope that their children will be smooth and smooth for a lifetime, but if this kind of obedience is exchanged for the happiness of children, it is not worth it.

With the support of Papa Bai, Bai Mengqing is more handy in her work, after all, Papa Bai is a government civil servant, and he must be more familiar with the rules and procedures of these poverty alleviation projects than her. On the contrary, the father and daughter have a lot of opportunities to communicate because of these jobs, and their relationship is better.

On the way, Bai Mengqing talked to them about the poverty alleviation project he was running, and when it came to left-behind children, Bai Mengqing sighed.

"You don't know, I followed Sister Zhu to visit the mountains, and when I saw those children who were barefoot and their toes were frozen on a cold day, I really wanted to cry. I didn't understand why Sister Zhu asked me to buy sandals and cloth shoes that didn't look very good, but sturdy, but when I saw the children smiling brightly with their shoes, I realized that sometimes a pair of plastic sandals worth more than ten yuan can bring them great happiness. ”

Bai Mengqing came out with them today, and she still had an idea to discuss with them, taking advantage of the fact that there were few people at this time, she first asked Zhou Hao and Yi Bai for their opinions, and saw if she wanted to bring them up with Cheng Jie.

"I want to start an adoption and support program in the next semester, and I have asked about it, and it only takes 200 yuan to meet a child's tuition and miscellaneous expenses for a year, including books, homework books and pens. There are a total of 32 people in the elementary school on the mountain, and by the next semester, eight people will be promoted to junior high school, and it is unknown whether they will be able to continue their studies, and three more will enter the elementary school. That adds up to 27 people in need of help. Five of them had the most difficult families, and when school started this spring, it was estimated that all five children would have dropped out of school if it had not been for the visits of their principals one by one. ”

What Bai Mengqing didn't say was that she paid for the tuition of these five children. The principal didn't want it, but Bai Mengqing gave it hard. In the past, the teachers of the school made up the group, and then the Education Bureau reduced the amount according to the proportion. However, the teachers' salaries are already very low, and if they spend a sum of money, their families will be stretched.

Bai Mengqing has never bothered about money since he was a child. Even in the years when the living conditions of the people in the whole country were difficult, because her parents were both dual-income workers, and her grandparents' generation was still old cadres, she was not rich, but she did not worry about eating and drinking. Later, after the reform and opening up, her mother followed the trend and went to the sea to do business, and the family was not short of money. 1,000 yuan, which is her pocket money for a month.

If it's just these five children, she will pay out of her own pocket, but what she wants to do is not just support this once, but she wants to continue this support until they no longer need it.

Chen Xin vaguely remembers that she seemed to have heard about this kind of funding when she was a student. At that time, what long-legged uncles, long-legged brothers and the like were spread all over the world. But it should have happened later that something not so good happened, and this kind of centralized assistance was stopped, and only sporadic individual funding occasionally appeared.

Bai Mengqing would definitely support her if she wanted to do it, but she also poured cold water on it at the right time, lest she fall to the point where she couldn't advance or retreat.

"I also think Xiaoxin is right. Sitting in the co-pilot's seat, Yi Bai frowned, "It's better to do it in the name of an institution or unit, don't get your private name, when the time comes, anything dirty and disgusting will be planted on you, obviously a good thing can be done a bad thing." ”

Yi Bai has seen more things at the police station, and his understanding of society is much deeper than that of Chen Xin.

"How can you talk like a kid, how can a good deed become a bad deed? If you don't do it yourself and don't let others do it, your father knows that he has to beat you to death. ”

When Yi Bai's mother heard her son's words, she looked at Bai Mengqing's somewhat sad face, and suddenly became angry, no matter how big and twenty-one she was, she scolded Yi Bai with her head and face, so that Bai Mengqing didn't know what to say when she opened her mouth.

"That, Auntie, no, it's okay, I didn't, that white officer didn't say it wrong, I didn't think it through, don't be angry. ”

has never experienced this kind of battle, Bai Mengqing is simply frightened.

"Mom, are you quieter?, what are you making trouble about?" Yi Bai put his clothes and hat on his head irritably, and refused to make a sound.

was interrupted by Yi Bai's mother, Bai Mengqing didn't dare to say anything anymore, and nested in his position in a regular manner, looking at the scenery speeding by outside the window.

Fortunately, the rest of the journey was not far, and after more than half an hour, they arrived at the villa. As soon as they got off the bus, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and when they sat down again, the atmosphere in the car was so embarrassing that it was going to hurt people.

Cheng Jie's house was the last to arrive, and they drove up in two cars.

Song Yi was also in the car, and he drove the second car. Teacher Song's nanny also followed, just enough to share a room with Yi Bai's mother, so that she would not be left alone.

The Liu family, who came over at noon, went up the mountain and did not come back, and after making a phone call, they learned that they were on the way down the mountain, and after knowing that everyone had arrived, they repeatedly said that they estimated that they would arrive in another quarter of an hour.
