Chapter 873: An Unbearable Past
The call came from Lin Lun.
"Why don't you sleep at night?"
"Sister, I saw the official Weibo of the Designers Association. You guys are too kind. ”
"yes......"
An Yanxi originally wanted to tell Lin Lun all about the donation, but after thinking about it, forget it, don't destroy the child's beautiful imagination of the world.
"Sister, guess how much I donate?" Lin Lun suddenly lowered his voice, and his tone was mysterious.
"Five thousand?"
An Yanxi felt that with Lin Lun's economic conditions and his level of love, it was still possible to have five thousand.
Unknowingly, Lin Lun on the other end of the phone vetoed, "No, continue to guess." ”
"You kid, you can't donate 50,000, right?"
"That's not right, guess again."
"Three thousand? Eighty thousand? 90,000 ...... Seven thousand? ”
"No, no, no, no. Sister, am I so poor in your heart? Lin Lun pretended to be displeased.
An Yanxi smiled helplessly, "You can tell me directly how much it is." I don't have the skills to guess. ”
"Ahem......" Lin Lun paused, the mysterious atmosphere was full of fun, "Listen, ha, I donated...... Two hundred thousand. ”
"Nani??"
An Yanxi was incredulous, "You lied to me, right?" ”
She remembered that Lin Lun's father was in a small business in the city, and her mother seemed to be a university teacher, and the family situation could only be regarded as middle-class.
"When did I lie to you, don't you believe it, check your official WeChat account to see if there was a 200,000 Mr. Lin received ten minutes ago."
An Yanxi's computer was next to her, and she immediately entered the account to take a look.
A message of 200,000 yuan appeared at the top.
"Are you serious?"
An Yanxi asked with a complicated mood. She really couldn't imagine that Lin Lun, a half-grown child, would donate 200,000?
The limited edition skateboard she gave Lin Lun before was only 10,000 yuan, and he was precious.
"Sister, you should ask my dad about this."
Lin Lun said with a grin.
"Your dad? Is this your dad's donation? ”
"Yes, he also saw those photos on the official Weibo. Then he donated 200,000 in my name. Tut-tut, I also wonder how rich my dad is. I couldn't ask him for 20,000 yuan to buy a pair of sneakers before. That's 200,000 ......."
On the other end of the phone, Lin Lun chattered and complained about his father's slamming of the door.
Here, An Yanxi is full of joy.
With this donation of 200,000 yuan, it is enough for those children to have a good winter.
There are people in the official WeChat account who keep sending money in.
But there is no one higher than 200,000, most of them are hundreds, more than 1,000, and even more than 10,000 are very few.
Until the end of the fundraising, every day, An Yanxi will send out the details and amount of the fundraising in the association's group every night.
On the day of the end, the total donation amount reached 600,000 yuan, and the group cheered.
"Miss Mona's solution is unusual, and she easily raised 600,000 donations."
"Those kids will probably thank Miss Mona for the rest of their lives."
"The biggest contributor to this fundraiser is Miss Mona......"
An Yanxi looked coldly at the gossip in the group and said those words praising Mona.
It's ridiculous, she has always been responsible for the whole thing, but no one remembers her good and her hard work.
She followed the amount of money raised and the people who raised them 24 hours a day, said thank you to everyone, and wrote down everyone's name......
Who knows the hard work here?
An Yanxi turned off her phone, took a deep breath, and pressed the anger in her heart to comfort herself, "It's okay, it's okay." I didn't expect anyone to remember me. It's good to thank Mona, what a big deal. ”
After comforting himself, An Yanxi cheered up and began to do the next thing.
She posted a message in the group about tomorrow's meeting and decided to give 600,000 to Mona in public. The fundraising business is completely over.
As soon as An Yanxi finished sending the message, he received a call from Lin Lun.
"Sister, are you home now? My dad is back, and he really wants to meet you after knowing that I know the head of the association's fundraising. ”
An Yanxi could hear that Lin Lun on the phone was very happy, and he had a feeling that he knew some big person.
An Yanxi smiled softly and immediately agreed.
Five minutes later.
An Yanxi appeared at Lin Lun's house lightly. also met the generous "Daddy Lin". He is no different from an ordinary middle-aged man, with a slightly bulging beer belly, sparse hair, and a fat figure......
Father Lin stretched out his hand to An Yanxi with a smile on his face, "Hello Miss An, hello, I am Lin Lun's father." ”
"Hello, Daddy Lin."
"Hehehe...... I don't mean anything else today. I just want to know more about the situation of those children in the mountains. Dad Lin led An Yanxi to the sofa in the living room, "Miss An, you sit." ”
An Yanxi sat down, she was not too surprised by Father Lin's words, she guessed when she heard Lin Lun say that her father wanted to see her.
The person who is willing to donate so much money must be a very kind person.
"Dad Lin, in fact, I don't know much about the situation of the children in the mountains, and this fundraising activity was mentioned by a designer in our association. Her friend teaches in a primary school in the mountains. The photos were all taken by her. ”
"Oh, that's right."
Dad Lin lowered his eyes a little disappointed.
"Daddy Lin, although I don't know the situation there, I can assure you that all the people raised this time will be used for the children. Our association does not charge a penny. ”
An Yanxi said slowly but firmly.
Daddy Lin's eyes lit up again, "Really? ”
An Yanxi smiled, "Of course it's true, this is a self-organized public welfare activity." Never thought about getting any benefit out of it. All aimed at making children better. ”
"You're such nice people. Since that's the case......" Dad Lin rubbed his hands, looked at Lin Lun sitting next to An Yanxi, and said, "Lun Lun, you go and help Dad take out the handbag in the room." ”
"Dad, what are you doing with your handbag?"
Lin Lun asked suspiciously.
"Just go get it."
"Oh."
Father Lin took the handbag from Lin Lun's hand, took out a few hundred yuan from it, and handed it to Lin Lun, "You take this money to eat out, I have something to say to your sister An." ”
Hearing this, Lin Lun was unhappy, "Dad, is there anything I can't hear?" ”
"What are children doing with so many adult things, I will naturally let you know when you should know."
Father Lin frowned, and his voice was a little displeased.
"Oh, got it......"
Lin Lun reluctantly took the money and glanced at An Yanxi again before walking out.
After he left, Dad Lin took out a bank card from his bag and put it on the table in front of An Yanxi.
An Yanxi was puzzled, and was about to open his mouth to ask when he heard Father Lin say, "There are 500,000 yuan in this, donate all of them to those children." ”
"Half a million??"
An Yanxi asked in disbelief.
Dad Lin nodded, his expression was serious and he didn't mean to joke at all, "Yes, 500,000." ”
"Mr. Lin, you, why are you donating so much money."
When An Yanxi said this, he couldn't help but look at the Lin family's very ordinarily decorated house. Although the family conditions are not bad, they should not be rich enough to donate 700,000 yuan at once.
Can you use "too loving" to describe Daddy Lin?
"Miss An, actually...... Hey. Dad Lin smiled, his eyes were a little desolate, "There is something I have never told others. ”
"Mr. Lin, if you believe me, I can tell me with confidence. I'm definitely not going to pass a word out. ”
An Yanxi was sitting precariously with a serious expression. Dad Lin really didn't take Lin Lun away for no reason.
"Miss An, it's not a secret. It's just that I haven't wanted to tell anyone all these years. ”
All these years?
An Yanxi realized that what he was about to hear should be a big deal.
"The first time I saw the photos of those children was on a Weibo post posted by a friend of mine. The first time I saw those children, I immediately thought of me when I was a child. ”
Father Lin was silent for a while, and said under An Yanxi's eyes, "I am also from that mountain. ”
An Yanxi's eyes widened, and he couldn't hide his surprise and asked, "Are you too?" ”
It's no wonder that An Yanxi was surprised, but that mountain can be said to be 108,000 miles away from the city where they are now.
Although Dad Lin is not famous now, he can be regarded as a middle stream of society. I don't really want to come out of the mountains.
"It's been almost thirty years."
Father Lin looked at An Yanxi's thoughtful expression and couldn't help but smile and said.
"Mr. Lin, is that why you donated so much money?"
"This ......"
Father Lin's eyebrows deepened, and the folds at the corners of his eyes deepened a little, and then fell silent.
An Yanxi sat quietly across from him, patiently waiting for his next words.
Father Lin was silent for three minutes before he slowly spoke, "Thirty years ago, I was fifteen years old, and that time was the poorest time in our mountains, and it was nothing compared to now. ”
"Almost every household is running out of food, and the grain harvest is not good. The village chief kept reporting the situation to the state, and finally the state sent people to help the poor before we were exhausted. ”
"We couldn't have been happier then."
"The one who came to alleviate poverty was a leader surnamed Cui, as well as his lover. A beautiful, kind-hearted woman. As soon as she came, she taught our children to read and read. ”
"It's ridiculous to say that I was fifteen years old and I couldn't read a single word. The first word she taught me was 'Lin'. In just five days in the village, she taught us dozens of words on the ground with tree branches. ”
Father Lin lowered his head and smiled when he said this, "She is simply a fairy in the hearts of all of us." ”
"And Leader Cui gave us a lot of food and use. He also taught the villagers how to identify high-quality soil and what methods to grow crops better. Now that I think about it, the methods taught by Leader Cui at that time were all effective. ”
"They stayed in the village for seven days, and on the eighth day they were about to leave when it suddenly rained heavily. There were several places on the road into the mountain, and rockfalls blocked the road tightly. ”
Hearing this, An Yanxi somehow had a bad premonition in his heart. She always felt that what happened next would be a tragedy.
"They had no choice but to stay in the village. After two more days, the heavy rain still didn't mean to stop. Later, I heard from the village chief that it was the heaviest and longest rain he had ever seen in most of his life. ”
"The mountains that rain are boring and lonely. As a young man, I quickly made a mistake that I would never forgive for the rest of my life. ”
Father Lin raised his head and looked out the window.
Outside, it was pitch black, and the bright and dazzling street lamps were silent in the dark at this time.
Everything around seemed to be waiting for Daddy Lin's next words.
"I sneaked into the place where Leader Cui and his lover lived, which was a small courtyard that was so dilapidated that it could barely live in people. It's one of the best houses in our village. ”
