Chapter 12: Go to Sandao City
The car embarked on the journey to the city, and Kunxian County is two and a half hours away from Sandao City. Because of its proximity to Longcheng, Sandao City's economic development is not slow, and it has slowly become a relatively large city in recent years, so many surrounding counties and cities have slowly fallen under the jurisdiction of Sandao City in recent years, and Kunxian County is one of them.
Along the way, Zhang Yaleng's parents kept asking about what had happened in the university in the past few months, and Zhang Yaleng also told his parents most of the things concisely, in order not to let his parents worry, Zhang Yaleng also picked out the aspects of the good and reported to his parents, not because he was afraid that his parents would criticize him, but because he didn't want his parents to know that he was not doing well outside, and he was afraid that his parents would worry.
As for a series of things such as being teased by classmates and beaten by Wang He, Zhang Yaleng naturally kept his mouth shut, and Zhang Yaleng also did not tell his parents about the 1,400 yuan. Now that the conditions in the family have improved a little, and he doesn't have to worry about the money for school, Zhang Yaleng wants to keep the 1,400 yuan secretly for himself. Zhang Yaleng didn't have much pocket money since he was a child, not only because his family conditions didn't allow it, but Zhang Yaleng also had nothing to buy. Zhang Yaleng's mind is all about studying, and the clothes are what his parents buy, what he wears, and what he plays, and Zhang Yaleng's physical condition does not allow him to do too many activities.
But now it's different, Zhang Yaleng will soon have the same body as a normal person, although this time is 20 years late, but it's not too late. So the 1400 yuan is also useful for Zhang Yaleng, such as buying some clothes for himself, or making himself eat better, Zhang Yaleng is still beautiful and feels that he may be able to have a girlfriend, this girlfriend I heard that it costs a lot of money, and he can't have no reserves at all. It is no wonder that even a little hope for a person who is caught in the darkness is enough to make the person so ecstatic that he begins to imagine that he is out of the dark.
According to the agreement in advance, the car did not go directly to the Sandao City People's Hospital, but to the Sandao Evening News office first, where the reporter first arranged for some people from the bursary fund to meet with Zhang Yaleng. These are all procedures that must be followed, and people can't even pay without seeing people without greetings, and these Zhang Yaleng's family also understand very well.
After a while, the car arrived at the door of the newspaper office, where several people were already waiting. Zhang Yaleng's family hurriedly got out of the car, and Zhang's father greeted him first. Among the few people standing at the door, there is one Zhang Yaleng's family who knows him, that is, the female reporter who came to interview last time, and this matter can be completed so successfully thanks to the female reporter.
Zhang Yaleng's father immediately went up and grabbed the female reporter's hand and shook it for a while, and kept saying words of thanks in his mouth.
"Oh, thank you so much this time, you are the benefactor of our family, and you are willing to be a cow and a horse in the future" Zhang Yaleng's father is more realistic, and he can't think of any fancy words, so he can only express his feelings in the most simple words.
"Oh, Mr. Zhang, you are too polite, this is what we should do, this is the editor of our station, and this is the stationmaster of our station's aid station."
The female reporter was very smart and hurriedly introduced these people around her, these are her leaders, and she can't put the leaders aside. This Zhang Yaleng's father is also very obedient, and when he heard the female reporter introduce these big people, he hurriedly went up one by one to shake hands and thank him. The leaders also nodded symbolically and gestured slightly.
"Mr. Zhang, and Mrs. Zhang, let's go in and say, there are still some people waiting inside" The female reporter hurriedly led Zhang Yaleng's family to the building, first, the weather is cold and can't stay outside all the time, and there are representatives of those funding groups waiting to see Zhang Yaleng on the second floor, so they don't dare to delay outside for too long.
The group entered the building and found that there were more than a dozen people waiting there, and when they saw them enter, they also greeted them.
"President Li, President Chen, this is the college student Zhang Yaleng and their family I am talking about," the female reporter first introduced Zhang Yalen's family to the two presidents here.
"Mr. Zhang, this is the president of the foundation who funded you, you have to thank them."
Zhang Yaleng's father stepped forward and knelt down in front of the two presidents, which shocked the surrounding area. The two presidents quickly helped him up.
"Mr. Zhang, this is what we should do, don't do this, get up quickly"
"Yes, yes, yes, if you have anything to say, this is not an outsider"
Zhang Yaleng's father stood up with tears in his eyes, this is not Zhang Yaleng's father pretending, as the saying goes, when you see a benefactor, there are two lines of tears. For these benefactors who are equivalent to Zhang Yaleng's second life, he is grateful from the bottom of his heart.
"Let's sit inside and talk," the two presidents led Zhang Yaleng's family to the living room where they had prepared in advance.
This parlor is usually a place to receive important guests, and today the newspaper office has also cleaned it up. All parties were seated, and everyone introduced them one by one, Mr. Li and Mr. Chen are the presidents of the "Love Learning Fund" that funded Zhang Yaleng's family this time. It was also through the newspaper that they learned about Zhang Yaleng, and after consideration, they decided to fund Zhang Yaleng's tuition and school living expenses of 30,000 yuan.
In addition to the two presidents and directors and the leaders of the newspaper who greeted Zhang Yaleng's family earlier, there were also reporters from several other newspapers and television stations seated in the meeting room, a total of more than 10 people.
After a brief introduction of the people present, the next step was some scene process, first the leader of the newspaper made a speech, introducing some of the measures and results received by the newspaper in terms of relief over the years. The speech of the newspaper leader also belongs to Lao Wang's boasting of selling melons, because reporters from other newspapers came, and they all came to visit and report, so they had to say something. After the leaders of the newspaper finished speaking, the two presidents made a speech, which was similar, and also introduced the development and purpose of their foundation. With so many journalists here, this kind of advertising is not done in vain.
Zhang Yaleng's family had never seen such a big formation, so they sat there and listened to it, and they didn't understand what it meant.
waited until the leaders finished boasting about themselves, and then focused on Zhang Yaleng's family, to be precise, on Zhang Yaleng. Even if Zhang Yaleng deliberately dressed up today, he still looked rustic and didn't dare to compliment. Especially on this occasion, Zhang Yaleng looked nervous, so his expression was not very natural.
"You are classmate Zhang Yaleng? Hello, hello, we've heard about your deeds a long time ago," Chairman Li first stretched out his hand to Zhang Yaleng, who quickly shook it.
"Yes... I... I'm Zhang Yaleng... That... Thank you very much... Without you, I'm here... I can't finish my studies either," Zhang Yaleng stammered nervously, and his words were a little incoherent.
"Hahaha, don't be nervous if you don't have anything to do, it's the same as at home, how are you living and studying at school?" The president asked kindly.
"It's... It's good... The classmates are also very good, and the teacher takes good care of them," Zhang Yaleng could only say simply. The reporters below kept taking pictures and recordings, and the flash had to flash after a while, which made Zhang Yaleng feel like he was back on the stage of the New Year's Day party.
"That's good, you can study hard, you see that it is not easy for your parents, with us people to help you, don't worry," President Chen said with a smile next to him.
"I will study hard and live up to everyone's expectations" Zhang Yaleng did not stutter, but said very hard.
Several people chatted with Zhang Yaleng a few more words, blessings and encouragement, and Zhang Yaleng's family also expressed their gratitude.
After that, the two presidents and the leaders of the newspaper handed the cheque board to Zhang Yaleng's family and made a grant handover ceremony. This is considered the completion of the subsidy, and with this is the 30,000 yuan of the subsidy in the bank.
After a brief speech, several presidents and officials got up and prepared to leave, and the others got up to see off the guests. After the president left, the leaders of the newspaper and other reporters also left one after another, leaving only the previous female reporter and Zhang Yaleng's family.
Coming to receive the subsidy today is one aspect, and the main purpose is the problem of Zhang Yaleng's legs, which is what their family is concerned about, especially Zhang Yaleng, who looks a little impatient.
"You wait for a while, I'll contact the hospital, and wait for the club to send a car to pick us up." As he spoke, he took the phone and went out.
"Son, you have to work hard, so many good people help you, we have to repay others when we come back, do you hear" Zhang's father taught Zhang Yaleng very seriously.
"Well, I got it." Those who are kind to him, Zhang Yaleng has a number in his heart, such as Zhang Yi, such as Ran Yu, if he has the opportunity, he will definitely repay these people.
"The hospital has been contacted, let's go over immediately," the female reporter walked back quickly and said to Zhang Yaleng and his family.
"Hey, it's so good, thank you." Zhang Yaleng's father hurriedly responded. "Here it is, here it is"
