Chapter 343: There is always a touch that brings tears to our eyes
In the final analysis, all Chen Mingyu's efforts are to make this foundation develop better, and to truly and try to help students from poor families who need help, instead of letting this foundation become a small treasury for some powerful people.
Thinking about it at a deeper level, Chen Mingyu hopes that he can build this foundation into a successful model for a small public welfare organization, and then promote it to the whole society and contribute to the development of national public welfare.
A week after the establishment of the foundation, a donation event was held in the auditorium of the county party committee, and the first batch of primary and secondary school students from poor families selected from schools in the county accepted donations of cash, learning and daily necessities.
Chen Mingyu presided over the donation ceremony, Zhou Zhidong, Cao Jincheng, Su Yueqin and other county leaders all made important speeches, and Zhou Zhidong personally sent the first donated materials.
The county television station, radio station, and newspaper office have reported on the donation activity, and then the city television station, radio station, newspaper office, etc. reprinted the activity, presenting the love education foundation initiated by Chen Mingyu in front of the people of the city, and calling on the city's units, enterprises, and individuals to donate to the foundation.
Under the instructions of the relevant leaders, Chen Mingyu was successfully selected as one of the top ten outstanding young people in the city in 1993 by the Propaganda Department of the Municipal Party Committee, and ranked first!
Chen Mingyu is also unsurprisingly famous in the city again.
……
Another Spring Festival is coming suddenly.
This Spring Festival, Chen Mingyu is really busy and almost overwhelmed!
In addition to all kinds of routine visits, gifts, treats, gatherings, and even receiving gifts, Chen Mingyu also has a special job this year, that is, the donation work of the Scholarship Foundation.
Through the extensive coverage of their student foundation by many media in the city and county, and with the help of the festive atmosphere of the Spring Festival, as well as the general high-spirited mentality of people in the context of reform and opening up, people's love seems to have been ignited suddenly!
In fact, Chen Mingyu had already expected that after the media publicity, their scholarship foundation might receive a lot of donations during the Spring Festival, and he also set up donation points near several landmarks in the county.
However, it turns out that Chen Mingyu really underestimated the enthusiasm of caring people.
From the 26th of the lunar month, their donation point began to be surrounded by caring people who heard the news, and they were almost paralyzed!
In addition, those remittance slips that flew like snowflakes made Chen Mingyu feel dizzy and extremely excited!
Chen Mingyu knows that this student aid foundation has just been established, and many eyes are staring at him and the student aid foundation, although the vast majority of people in this society are good, all are caring, and they all hope that this student aid foundation can be healthy and pass on love and hope to the society, but there will inevitably be some garbage people in this society, these people are like people with eye disease, psychopaths, they can't see others well, they hate people and laugh at people, and they hate all good things from the heart. It was as if the world could become as dark as their hearts, as if everyone else in the world was living in dire straits, they would be satisfied.
If something goes wrong in the process, such as a stampede or other casualties at the donation point due to crowding, or something wrong with the Foundation's accounts, then once it is used by these villains with ulterior motives, it will become a target for them.
Chen Mingyu pays great attention to details, so as not to be assassinated by villains.
Therefore, in order to prevent accidents when accepting donations during this Spring Festival, Chen Mingyu personally sat in charge every day, coordinated the order of the donation points, reviewed the source and amount of donations received, and so on, for about ten consecutive days, he got up at about five o'clock in the morning every day and was busy until about twelve o'clock at night to sleep, and there was almost no free time in the middle. He didn't even have time to date Tang Xinyue alone during the entire Spring Festival, accompany her shopping, and buy things!
However, Tang Xinyue is a very sensible girl, she did not complain about Chen Mingyu because of this, but understood and admired Chen Mingyu's spirit, she also took the initiative to participate in the work of the donation point, and fought side by side with Chen Mingyu every day, which was regarded as a date!
This Spring Festival, although Chen Mingyu is extremely tired, what he has gained is full of fulfillment and incomparably moved!
Chen Mingyu has personally experienced many things that he will remember for a lifetime.
The 29th of the lunar month is a cloudy day, and the cool breeze gusts, the weather is very cold, in the afternoon, it began to float catkins-like snowflakes, but such bad weather, still did not stop the enthusiasm of those caring people to donate to the foundation, and the caring people at various donation points are still in an endless stream!
At about five o'clock in the afternoon, the snow in the sky had stopped, but the cold wind was even more raging, the sky had almost completely darkened, and the people who came to donate were almost useless.
For the hard work of these staff at the donation point, Chen Mingyu saw it in his eyes and was moved in his heart, these people have actually taken annual leave, they are all willing to work here, in addition to accepting the working meals provided to them by the donation point, they are resolutely not a penny of subsidies.
Therefore, for these staff who voluntarily gave up their rest time, gave up the time to reunite with relatives and friends, and came to work at the donation point, Chen Mingyu will also try his best to let them get off work early, go back to rest early, and enjoy the joy of the Spring Festival with relatives and friends.
In fact, there is still a lot of work to be done after the end of the day's work at the donation point, such as counting the source and amount of funds, registering and storing them, forming written materials, and summarizing the day's work to prepare for the next day's work, etc.
Chen Mingyu would rather work hard and lead a few core personnel of the foundation to work overtime, while most of them go back to rest and enjoy their time.
"Comrades, it's been a hard day! Now close the stall, I invite everyone to eat hot pot, and then everyone go back and have a good rest! Tomorrow is the Chinese New Year's Eve, let's be busy for another morning, no stalls in the afternoon, everyone goes home to work and prepare for the New Year! Chen Mingyu clapped his hands and said.
Today received a lot of donations, everyone's mood is very happy, and now I heard that Chen Mingyu is going to invite guests to eat hot pot, everyone's mood is even more excited, and they have applauded, and they began to close the stall.
At this time, Tang Xinyue touched Chen Mingyu's arm and said, "Look at ......"
When Chen Mingyu heard the sound, he saw an old man in shabby clothes, leaning over and riding a tricycle with difficulty. He seemed to see the people here closing the stall, and waved anxiously to this side, as if asking everyone to wait for him.
"Is this uncle also here to donate?" Tang Xinyue asked.
"I don't know......," Chen Mingyu shook his head slightly, "I'll go over and take a look." ”
"I'll go too!" Tang Xinyue followed.
At this time, the others also saw the old man and stopped what they were doing.
Chen Mingyu walked a few steps quickly to the front of the uncle and asked, "Uncle, is there something wrong?" ”
The uncle smiled at Chen Mingyu and asked, "Young man, are you donating money here for dolls who go to school?" ”
Chen Mingyu said: "Yes! ”
Uncle said: "I'm also here to donate!" It's a little late, didn't you delay your business? ”
Chen Mingyu's heart immediately swelled with a burst of speechless emotion!
What a good old man!
It can be seen from the old man's shabby, even patched clothes and his furrowed face that his living conditions are obviously not very good, and he may still be very poor, but he still thinks about donating money for the students, and even apologizes to the people who donated for coming a little late!
The old man's innocent personality and noble character really moved Chen Mingyu!
"It's not too late! It's not too late! Chen Mingyu said repeatedly.
"Hehe, that's good." The old man said as he pedaled the tricycle hard.
The tricycle was full of bits and pieces, and there were even a lot of broken bricks and other things, which seemed to be picked up by the old man from somewhere, so the car was very heavy, and the old man had a lot of trouble pedaling.
Perhaps, this old man made a living by picking up rags.
Facing such an amiable and respectable old man, Chen Mingyu really didn't know how to express his emotion, so he hurriedly stepped forward to hold the old man's tricycle and help him move forward.
Tang Xinyue also immediately walked over and held the other side of the tricycle, she and Chen Mingyu glanced at each other, their eyes were full of emotion, and they knew it.
With the help of Chen Mingyu and Tang Xinyue, the old man pedaled the car much easier, he turned his head, and said in a very reluctant tone: "I'm older now, and the strength on my legs is not so great, and I want you to help me push the car, thank you so much." ”
Chen Mingyu said: "No, uncle, we should thank you!" ”
Tang Xinyue also said: "Uncle, you are our role model!" ”
"Hehe, what an example, as long as I don't burden the country, I will be satisfied, hehe......" The old man smiled very pure and cheerful.
Before coming to the donation point, the old man got out of the car, unbuttoned the shabby cotton coat, took out a cloth pocket that could no longer see the color, and then trembled and untied the rope on the cloth pocket, first took out a thick stack of banknotes from it, and then carefully poured out a pile of coins. Most of these banknotes are one, two, five, and one piece, while the coins are mostly one dime, piled up on the table.
"These are a total of 200 yuan, which is the money I have picked up and sold in the past few months, and I thought about it after I heard that there is a donation point for the dolls who go to school, but at that time I didn't have enough 200 yuan, almost the same, but not enough. I think it's better to scrape together 200 yuan and donate again. It's not about the New Year these days, it's very easy to pick up the rags, and the price is a little higher than before, I've been busy for a few days, and today I finally got together enough for two hundred, so I quickly wanted to come over and donate on the way over, my car chain fell off, I cleaned up for a while to get it, and it took a lot of time to delay, and I was afraid that I couldn't donate it if I came late! Won't it be thirty tomorrow, I'm afraid you won't come to set up a stall, then I really don't know where to donate this money. Hehe, I'm glad you haven't left yet! However, I have delayed your time to get off work, so bear with me! I've counted the money, it should be two hundred, or you have to count it again. The money is a little small, but it's also a part of my heart, and I hope to buy a few pens and a few books for those dolls who go to school. ”
The old man's words were very simple, without any big reason, and there were even some people who felt sorry because he came late and didn't donate much money.
Such an old man, who had worked hard to save two hundred yuan by picking up rags, did not want to improve his life and buy a winter coat, but he wanted to donate all of it to those poor students!
For those who live in abundance, these two hundred yuan may not be nothing, but for such an old man, how difficult it is to come by these two hundred yuan! How many pounds of newspapers, how many pounds of paper shells, how many bottles, how many pounds of waste he had to pick up...... to be able to accumulate it!
is such an ordinary old man, such an ordinary word, but everyone present almost wanted to cry when they heard it, and even some girls' tears were already rolling in their eyes, this is a simple because of a beautiful and pure beauty, a simple but direct fraternity moved by tears!
Big voice, big love is speechless!
Except for feeling the heart that was completely filled with emotion, Chen Mingyu couldn't say a word.
Looking at this gray-haired and smiling old man, Chen Mingyu suddenly thought of the number one hero in Jinmen - Bai Fangli, this old man who has struggled all his life by pedaling a rickshaw in order to help poor students go to school!
There is always a touch that brings tears to our eyes!
At this time, a young girl named Xiao Xie saw the change scattered on the table, wiped her tears, and said, "Uncle, you have worked too hard to come here, we can't accept it!" ”
The old man was a little anxious when he heard this, and said, "Oh, little girl, you can't accept it!" I picked up garbage and sold it to help students, I had this idea for a long time, but I didn't know where to donate money, so I saved the money first, and now I finally met you, if you don't accept it, then where do I donate the money? ”
