Li Du looked at it, wasn't this the guy named Malatei? The two sides met when they were in the car dealership, Li Du made a bet with him, he lost the bet, and then ran away with the debt. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Malathai spotted him as well, but pretended not to see it, and kept his eyes fixed on Sophie.

Sophie smiled politely and said, "It's good to meet here, but are you really happy, why can't I see joy in your eyes?"

Malathai was embarrassed and said, "No, why am I not happy? I am very happy every time I see you, and I don't know why, maybe God ......."

"Don't, Malatay, don't use God to cover your lies, it's not good, I hope you will respect my faith. Sophie immediately changed her attitude when she heard him say this.

Malathai was even more embarrassed, but he stayed here anyway.

Li Du felt that this guy was very thick-skinned, and if he relied on the account in front of his favorite girl, he would never dare to see her again in the future.

What about Malatay? Coming to see Sophie was very reasonable, as if the last bet was made by Li Du and Li Du was also repaid.

The meeting between the two sides was not pleasant, and Malathai seemed to be unkind to Sophie, but Sophie was very polite and polite to him, and used polite language in conversation.

Finally, Malathai was defeated, and as he was leaving, he whispered to Li Du: "Don't do useless work, Sophie won't have anything to do with you, she won't marry a non-white man." ”

Li Du also whispered: "Then she won't marry you." ”

Malathai sneered: "How is it possible, I'm a standard white ......"

"No, you're black, your heart is so black that it stains your skin black. Li Du said.

This made Malatay furious, and he gritted his teeth and said, "If this is not a church meeting, I will beat you all over the ground to find your teeth." ”

Li Du smiled and shook his head, if he was interested in entertaining in a normal verbal confrontation, he would not be interested in this weak and powerless threat, just like a child, what is the point?

As a result, Malathai thought he was scared and looked at his back, his eyes flickering.

Church activities in the United States are very formal, especially in this kind of event with a lot of participants, everyone has to participate in it, and everyone has to give.

Sophie introduced to Li Du, saying that this event had been prepared for half a month, and someone was responsible for sending email invitations, some people registered the number of participants online, and some people prepared a common lunch.

In addition, there are people who lead the singing of hymns, and there are people who play the piano and play instruments, which need to be rehearsed in advance.

Pastors are prepared to preach the Bible, volunteers are responsible for driving people, arranging for people to clean up in advance, and so on.

Because this time there was going to be a charity auction, it was more complicated to organize, and Duqi and other wealthy people were in charge, contributing all kinds of money and efforts.

The white glove of the auction is a middle-aged man with a loud voice, Li Du knows him, they have met at the warehouse auction, and warehouse companies such as Smith and Tramp will ask him to preside over the auction.

White Glove's name was Lewis Luther, and when he saw Li Du, he came over to greet him and said, "It turns out that you are a parishioner, but I didn't know it before." ”

Li Du smiled bitterly: "I'm sorry, in fact I'm not, I came with a friend." ”

Lewis nodded and said, "That's right, it's okay, I'm sure one day you will feel God's call and join our team." ”

Christianity in Flagpole City is more inclusive, and Li Du has never seen such a thing as forced proselytizing, or it is relatively rare in the United States, where religion is guided and voluntary by family.

At ten o'clock, everyone entered the church.

Li Du sat in the back with Sophie, he looked curiously at the decoration of the church, in fact, the inside is very simple, that is, there are many painted Bible stories on the glass, there are many rows of chairs, there are statues of the Virgin, the Son and so on.

This was followed by a church event, where the pastor preached and then the children's choir took to the stage and sang hymns.

Sophie sang in a low voice, Li Du didn't dare to speak, he was afraid that he couldn't help but shout 'Chek is in the vast world, my love'......

The series of activities was relatively uneventful, and the participants were clearly used to it.

Li Du saw that the believers were not all religious, and some people were secretly napping, such as Mr. Martin.

Mr. Martin sat in the row behind them, and he was with Tyke and the other old fellows, and at first he was quite serious, but it wasn't long before he began to bow his head in contemplation.

After a moment of contemplation, their eyes closed and their noses fluttered rhythmically.

Li Du almost laughed out loud, these guys are asleep!

After the sermon and hymn sessions, everyone began to relax and the white-gloved Lewis appeared to prepare for the auction that would take place later.

Sophie explains: "Some of my brothers and sisters in the church are having a hard time and need help, but if we were to help, it could hurt their self-esteem. ”

So, we need to do it through God's hand, and the donation will be deposited into the church account, approved by the presbyterian church when it is used, and publicized when it is used up. ”

Li Du smiled: "Since you need help, are you still worried about damage to your dignity?"

Sophie said seriously: "Yes, we want to help others, but if it hurts the dignity of others, then what is the use of our help?"

This kind of topic can't be argued, Li Du nodded and said, "You're right." ”

Sophie laughed and said, "I know you may not be able to understand some of our thoughts, but as long as we don't hurt others and don't have bad thoughts, then we respect each other, wouldn't it?"

Li Du nodded very seriously this time, he held Sophie's hand and said, "Yes, mutual respect, Sophie, I am a little self-righteous sometimes." ”

The female doctor raised her eyebrows lightly and whispered, "No, you never have." Oh, the auction is voluntary, so if you don't have something you like, you don't have to raise a card. ”

Li Du participated in a charity auction for the first time, which was also a kind of work for him, and he decided to participate in it.

Once everyone is seated, the auction will begin.

Mr. and Mrs. Martin deliberately sat next to him and said with a smile: "Let's feel the atmosphere, you usually participate in a lot of auctions, you should have more experience with this?"

Li Du said: "It's not the same, sir, madam, those auctions I participated in were to make money, and everyone here was to help others, and the two sides are very different. ”

"No, charity auctions are not simple giveaways, the ultimate goal is a win-win situation. We donate things for auction, and we target people who need them, not just get people to pay for them. ”

A voice sounded, and Li Du didn't have to turn his head to know who was making the sound, it must be the young master Malatay who couldn't afford to lose.
