Chapter 14 Student Aid

Su Yan, who was idle, remembered some things in the past because of this incident.

That could also be called one of her old dreams. At that time, although she did not have much money, every time she read a news report that some students could not continue their studies because of family reasons, she always felt very uncomfortable, and always thought that it would be good if she had the ability to help these people.

Now that she has the ability, it's time to make that dream come true.

Just do it, the day after this idea arose, Su Yan went to contact the student aid agency.

After selection, Su Yan chose five children from a village elementary school called Qinglin in the mountains of Qingpu City, Yunzhong Province. Although Yunzhong Province is a vast province, it is mostly mountainous and the land is barren, and most of the young people in these mountainous areas choose to go out to work, leaving only the elderly and children in the villages.

It's really sad to say, the five children Su Yan helped belong to three families, and the adults of these three families also went out to work in the same factory in a second-tier city in Southeast Province in the early days. After two years, the two households without men, and the hostess could not support the remarriage, and the old people naturally refused to let them take away their grandchildren, who have now become their lifeblood, but they have no regular source of income, and there is no way to support their lives and schools at the same time. These children who have not yet graduated from primary school are facing the dilemma of dropping out of school and are in urgent need of outside help.

Each person has a stipend of 800 yuan per semester, and five people are 4,000. Su Yan didn't bring so much cash, so she swiped the card directly.

More than a week passed after that. Su Yan received a letter of thanks from the children she had donated. All five children wrote, and in order to save postage, they gathered together in the same envelope and sent it, in addition to the letter, they also mailed a small package of dried fruits that I don't know what kind of fruit they don't know.

The writing is immature and simple, but the feelings are sincere, and a photo is attached to the letter, which is a group photo of five babies, probably taken by people from the educational aid agency during their field trips in the past. The five people in the photo have outdated and old clothes with patches on them. But it was cleanly washed. The face should have been particularly cleaned, probably because of the sun, the cheeks are sunburned red. It may be that the children of the poor will be more precocious in life, and the childish five faces looking at the camera do not have the carefree smiles of their peers. On the contrary, his brows were slightly furrowed, and he seemed to have a lot on his mind.

These children are still very suitable for Su Yan's eyes. It's not. Su Yan thought that the New Year would be celebrated in a while. Seeing that he had time in the past few days, he took Qin Xuan shopping.

Qin Xuan was dragged by Su Yan, and he still felt strange all the way: "There is still some time before the New Year, is it early for you to start preparing for the New Year?" ”

Su Yan first went to the post office to buy five large editions of stamps: "It's not early. The traffic in Qingpu is not convenient, and the post office is also very unstable when delivering packages. Sometimes it will be delivered in a week if there is a lot of mail, and sometimes it can take a month if there is no mail! ”

Qin Xuan had heard Su Yan talk about student assistance, and he and Xia Huan were also going to help one or two students later.

After buying the stamps, Su Yan's next target is clothes.

Qin Xuan was puzzled at this time: "I haven't met yet, do you know that those children are tall, short, thin and fat?" Can you buy clothes? ”

"It's fine." Su Yan smiled and said, "I have bought experience in helping Su Kai and the two of you buy clothes over the years, and you can probably know the yardage by looking at their photos......"

They bought a sturdy and durable sportswear, a thick jacket, and a pair of sneakers. Qin Xuan carried a full handbag and began to regret that he didn't call Xia Huan out together.

"Do you want anything else to buy?" Seeing that Su Yan didn't mean to end, Qin Xuan couldn't help but ask.

Su Yan took half of the bag in his hand and thought for a while: "Let's buy another set of clothes for the old man, it's almost the New Year." Then buy some stationery, some New Year's goods, and it's almost there......"

"......" Qin Xuan looked at Su Yan suspiciously, "Do you really think the two of us can take it?" So much stuff? ”

"I guess I can't take it." Su Yan pointed to the post office not far away, "After buying clothes, we will go to the post office first, put down the things, you watch over there, and I will buy stationery and New Year's goods." ”

Qin Xuan looked at it, there was a Guohua bookstore not far from the post office, and there was stationery sold in the bookstore, so he nodded.

When she arrived at the post office, Su Yan found a corner and handed over everything to Qin Xuan to take care of, she went to Guohua Bookstore, pushed a shopping cart, first went to the stationery area to pick out some books, pens, pencil cases, etc., all in five copies, watched the staff pack them, and went to the books to buy some children's books.

Books and books are very heavy, and Su Yan is a little reluctant to carry them alone. Fortunately, the manager was very talkative, and when he saw Su Yan buying so much, he was curious to ask her about the use. Hearing that Su Yan said that it was going to be sent to students in remote mountainous areas, the manager immediately arranged for a staff member to help Su Yan deliver the things to the post office.

After that, Su Yan went to their supermarket non-stop, took some candy and cakes and biscuits, filled two large shopping bags, and returned to the post office.

Qin Xuan didn't wait over there, he asked the post office for a few cardboard boxes and packed the things he bought before. When Su Yan went back, all the things in his hand had already been packed, and he was waiting to package the things Su Yan brought back and send them out.

In this way, it was all done at four o'clock in the afternoon.

It was also the first time that Su Yan took the initiative to spend such a long time shopping, and although she was tired, she was quite happy in her heart.

Qin Xuan was happy to see Su Yan, and he was also happy.

As Su Yan expected, a month after the thing was sent, Su Yan received a reply. When the postal truck passed through Qinglin Village, it was in the morning when it gave them the bag, and when it passed by in the afternoon, it helped them carry the letter back to the post office, so that the delivery time of this package would be nearly a month.

The children's joy after receiving the gifts was overflowing, the brand new letter paper was neatly and carefully filled with words, and one of the little girls named Han Wuhao warmly invited Su Yan to come over to play with them, focusing on describing the excitement of the New Year in their Qinglin Town, which made Su Yan a little moved. She also decided to take the time to visit the children in person.

However, during the Chinese New Year, Su's mother will not agree to her going out, and if she wants to go out, she still has to take advantage of the winter vacation.

Qinglin Elementary School has an earlier holiday time than Su Yan, and when Su Yan was preparing for the final exam, Han Wuhao's little sister sent Su Yan the report cards of several of their children, as well as a photo of a group photo on the humble rostrum after receiving the certificate. Compared to the photo sent to Su Yan at the beginning, they are obviously smiling more in this photo, and the innocence and longing for the future that children should have returned to their faces.

This made Su Yan feel more and more relieved.

The accumulation of wealth can drive people to work hard, but after reaching a certain point, after reaching the initial expected goal, how to go on the road ahead, and in which direction? Sometimes it's blurry. And the experience in front of her made Su Yan seem to have found her direction again. (To be continued......)
