Chapter 257: Looking at each other and smiling is not against your heart

After a short while, Gao Gongzi came back with the medicine.

"Big brother, you take care of the sick. We'll visit the next household first, and we'll deliver something tomorrow. Yan Zixiu and the others got up to say goodbye.

The man thanked him for his kindness, sent him outside the gate, and looked at everyone's backs for a long time.

Yan Zixiu and his entourage continued to investigate the situation of residents in difficulty.

The impoverished area of Xiaoyao Town is really poor.

The family only has a quilt, the ragged clothes barely cover the body, there are no heating materials and it is as cold as an ice cave, the house is dark and dark, the roof is open-air, there is only a handful of noodles and a handful of rice left in the noodle tank, the malnourished face is yellow and thin, the family is relatively sad, sighing, and has no money to see a doctor when they are sick...... Ubiquitous.

Yan Zixiu has helped the poor in the countryside of the native world and the poor in South America, and has seen similar situations, so it is not surprising.

Miss Jia and Gao Gongzi are different. Although they are from the town, they have never been so deep into the poor areas. Their hearts were deeply shaken:

There are still days like this?!

And such a life?!

It's all the same people, why do some people live like this?!

On the way, Yan Zixiu told them a story: "In the past, there was an emperor who grew up in the deep palace. On one occasion, the minister reported that there was a famine in a certain land. The little emperor asked, what is famine? The minister said that famine is when the people have no food to eat. The little emperor asked, why don't the common people eat meat? ”

yes, why not eat minced meat? There was silence for a moment.

"If it weren't for Mr. Yan, I wouldn't know anyone living such a hard life." Miss Jia muttered to herself.

"Brother Yan, you give them silver every time you go to a household. Don't make it so like you don't have money to spend. Huang Lao said with concern.

Yan Zixiu smiled: "Thank you, Elder Huang." I know in my heart that I won't run out of money to spend. Besides, I am born to be useful, and I will come back when my daughter is gone. As long as you are dedicated and diligent in creating, how can you have no money to spend? ”

"I am born to be useful, and I will come back when my daughter is gone." Gao Gongzi repeated, "Okay, that's a good point." ”

He Jiayu, a member of the group who had been silent, said, "Mr. Yan, I am really convinced of you now. When you say this casually, it's all a classic sentence. ”

"What, and my brother is only convinced now? I was convinced before the end of the meeting. Gao Gongzi was in a good mood and made a joke.

Huang Lao said: "I'll make a bet for everyone, Brother Yan will not be a thing in the pool." In the future, everyone will definitely look up to him. ”

Miss Jia said: "I believe in Huang Lao's words. ”

Yan Zixiu smiled and shook his head: "I don't like to be looked up to. I hope that no matter how things change in the future, everyone will be equal friends, and like today, we will look at each other and smile, and we will not go against our hearts. ”

"Look at each other and smile, don't go against your heart?"

Several people pondered for a while and felt that this kind of life was the life of a real person.

……

Because they investigated carefully, met the patients and treated them on the spot, they all investigated them thoroughly, from noon to late at night. Everyone in the middle just made up a bowl of noodles and a pancake, which was considered to be the time of the meal.

Early the next morning, everyone bought materials according to the situation, and in the wind and snow, they carried all kinds of cotton clothes and quilts, rice, flour, oil and salt, charcoal and medicine on their shoulders and delivered them to poor residents one by one.

The patients who were prescribed by Yan Zi after taking the medicine all improved greatly. Those patients, in addition to the medicine that worked, plus someone cared, all had hope for the future and regained their spirits.

In the whole activity, three thousand taels of silver was insufficient, and Gao Gongzi and Miss Jia paid more than one thousand taels out of their own pockets.

After a busy day, the people of the Wenhui held a tea party in the Yanyu Tea House in the evening to celebrate the success of the poverty alleviation activities.

"Ladies and gentlemen, for the first time in our Xiaoyao Town, there are no more people who freeze to death or starve to death in the bitter cold. This is something bigger than the sky. Everyone here has merit in it. Come, I'll give you a drink. Huang Lao said emotionally on the stage.

"Thank you Huang Lao and the Wenhui for giving us this opportunity." The people below responded.

"Huang Lao, each of us participated, and we all have merit. Then you say, is there a person with the greatest merit? Miss Jia stood up and asked.

"Of course there is. Everyone said, who has the greatest merit? Mr. Huang asked.

"Yan Ziling!" Everyone spoke in unison. Indeed, without the leadership of "Yan Ziling", this activity would not have been launched at all.

Yan Zixiu stood up and thanked, "Thank you, friends. The ancients said that the law does not rise alone, and fate is born. Although Zai Xi is the initiator, there is no platform for the Cultural Association, without the support of Huang Lao and many other judges, and without everyone here investigating the situation and transporting materials in the wind and snow, how can so many people benefit? A single flower is not spring, a hundred flowers bloom in spring, I think everyone's merits are the same. ”

"Good! You can say that again! The words made everyone's hearts warm.

Miss Jia said: "Yesterday, Mr. Yan told me a sentence, I am born to be useful, and I will come back when my daughter is gone. I thought about this sentence all night and another day. What is useful? I used to feel useful when I was better than others. But yesterday's and today's events have taught me that when I benefit others, I feel that I am truly useful. ”

These words were very profound, and everyone was silent for a while.

Wanting to be useful, but being afraid of being useless is a common knot in people's hearts. But how many people have wondered, what is really useful?

After a while, Huang Lao broke the silence: "Ruoyan said profoundly, and it is worth all of us to recall." But today is a successful event, and we still have to celebrate. The first time I met Brother Yan, he played a piece of music for us. At that time, it made me feel like a fairy ear. Would you like to hear another one? ”

"Mr. Yan can also play the piano?"

"Okay, okay."

"Hurry up and ask Mr. Yan to come to the stage!"

……

"The six-stringed piano is not around." Yan Zixiu spread his hands.

"I'll get it." Miss Jia flew out of the window.

Everyone knows her identity as an immortal cultivator, but because she usually doesn't put an immortal cultivator on the shelf of the villagers, everyone has a good impression of her. Now she showed her hand for everyone to take the piano, so it caused a burst of applause.

A moment later, Miss Jia brought the guitar.

Yan Zixiu took the guitar and came to the stage, pressed the strings with his left hand, plucked his right hand, and sang a song "Let the World Be Full of Love".

This is a 1986 Chinese public welfare song, composed by Guo Feng, lyrics by Chen Zhe and others, and sung by more than 100 Chinese pop music singers. It is one of the milestones in the history of Chinese pop music, and it is also one of the most beautiful glorious moments in the history of Chinese pop music.

Gently hold your face

Wipe away your tears for you

This heart will always be yours

Tell me I'm not alone anymore

Gaze deeply into your eyes

No more languages are needed

Hold your hand tightly

The warmth remains the same

……

The members of the Wenhui have just returned from the poor area, and this song reminds them of the grateful expressions and tears of those beneficiaries in the process of helping the poor, and they can't help but be deeply moved again.

The people present were very smart, and after Yan Zixiu played and sang once, everyone began to sing together:

We rejoice together

We endure it together

We have the same expectations

We're all in the thick and thin

We pursue it together

We cherish the same love

Whether you and I have ever known each other

Whatever is in front of you, on the horizon

I sincerely wish you well

I wish you happiness and peace

……

……

"Great."

"It's beautiful."

An even louder round of applause rang out from the audience.

"I want to engrave the activities of these two days in my heart."

"Me too."
