Following.

7 a.m.

Volunteer Home.

Gu Chen drove the group members and came to the appointed location early.

At this moment, people of all ages are also gathered at the entrance of the Volunteer Home.

Everyone wore red vests printed with the words "Jiangnan Volunteer Association", and everyone wore Little Red Riding Hood to communicate with each other's daily life.

Gu Chen parked the police car in front of the volunteer's house.

On the steps, there are many daily necessities with the words "Presented by Jiangnan Volunteer Association".

Gu Chen took a casual look, and the firewood, rice, oil, and salt were complete.

"Senior Brother Gu, you said we came to the event, do you want to buy something or something?" Lu Weiwei arrived at the scene and found that she had come to participate in the event empty-handed.

Although it is only to cooperate with the Seremban Branch to participate in social welfare, it is mainly to complete the task.

But from a rational point of view, would there be anything wrong with feeling like just coming empty-handed?

"Shouldn't you use it?" Zhao Ju didn't explain. Gu Chen pulled up the handbrake, then opened the car door and got out of the car, looking around casually.

Today, I was wearing a new summer duty uniform and a new single police equipment, and I suddenly felt that people were much more energetic.

Officer Wang looked at the prepared supplies, and he was also inexplicably relieved: "I feel that as long as we have people, we will be diligent and help carry the materials later, and the Gu Chen Volunteer Home will arrange anything else." ”

At this moment, several middle-aged men happened to walk to the material storage point, ready to load these fried rice, oil and salt onto a pickup truck.

Gu Chen also hurriedly brought everyone to help.

And just after Gu Chen loaded the last box of peanut oil onto the pickup truck, he was suddenly tapped twice on the shoulder.

Turning her head, Zhou Xiaoling was standing behind Gu Chen with a smile on her face: "Officer Gu, we meet again." ”

"Director Zhou. Gu Chen teased directly.

Zhou Xiaoling frowned slightly, and said angrily: "What is Director Zhou? Just call me Xiaoling." ”

Tilting his head and looking at Lu Weiwei, Officer Wang and Yuan Shasha, Zhou Xiaoling waved and greeted a few people: "Hey, we're meeting again." ”

"Yes, it seems that we are destined, and we were actually sent here to participate in the event. Lu Weiwei was also very curious, but she didn't expect that the place where Zhao Guozhi sent everyone to participate in the event was the Volunteer Home.

Not to mention it, everyone has to cooperate with Zhou Xiaoling here.

Zhou Xiaoling smiled and said: "I heard our vice president talk about it before, saying that we would invite a few policemen to come over to participate in public welfare, but I didn't expect it to be you." ”

"At that time, I was still wondering who the police department would send over, but when I saw you get out of the car just now, I knew that you were the guest invited by the vice president today. ”

"We're not guests. Gu Chen patted the dust on his hands, and said with a smile: "We are all volunteers like you today, we are here to participate in public welfare activities, not to be guests." ”

"Haha, yes. Zhou Xiaoling was glad that she could see Gu Chen again, but she didn't expect that she would have the opportunity to see her last time in a hurry, so she became a little silly when she spoke.

"Xiaoling, are you ready?"

While everyone was talking, a bald man wearing a white shirt and black trousers, carrying a black bag, walked out of the volunteer home.

Zhou Xiaoling hurriedly stepped forward and said, "President Zhou, everything has been loaded into the car, I'm chatting with the police officers who participated in the event, they are the same group of policemen who saved me last time." ”

Secretly glancing at Gu Chen, Zhou Xiaoling said again: "Especially the most handsome, his name is Gu Chen, he exchanged me from the gangsters last time, if it weren't for him, maybe I would really be in danger." ”

"Oh, so it's them?" When the bald vice president heard Zhou Xiaoling's words, he immediately hurriedly stepped forward, shook hands with Gu Chen, and said:

"Hello Gu Chen, in fact, I have heard of you from your Director Zhao a long time ago, he said that you are the star policeman of the Furong Branch, and you are also the platoon of the Furong Branch, so I asked him to borrow you and your team to participate in this public welfare activity together. ”

"But I didn't expect that you were also the hero who saved our Xiaoling last time, and the young man is really responsible. ”

"It's over. Seeing President Zhou praising his family so much, Gu Chen also maintained a modest nature and said: "Protecting the lives and safety of the people is the duty of our police, and we just did what we should do." ”

"I heard you're still injured?" asked President Zhou again.

Gu Chen pointed to a small scar on his neck, and couldn't help but smile and said, "It's a little meaning, it's not in the way." ”

"Harm. President Zhou sighed, glanced back at Zhou Xiaoling, and then said to Gu Chen: "Zhou Xiaoling, this kid is actually my cousin niece, who just graduated from college this year. ”

"Originally, her parents entrusted her to me to arrange a job for him in the Volunteer Association, but I didn't expect this to happen. ”

"It's good that you carried everything for Zhou Xiaoling, otherwise I really don't know how to explain it to her parents, and I still hide this matter. ”

Looking Gu Chen up and down, President Zhou also nodded with appreciation: "Well, you and Xiaoling seem to be not much different in age, and they should belong to the same age." ”

"But you are already a policeman, and you are still so responsible, it seems that the younger generation of our country, okay!"

Seeing President Zhou exalt himself like this, Gu Chen was also embarrassed, and quickly explained: "The last rescue operation was not my own credit, all our team members contributed their own strength. ”

Turning his head to look at Lu Weiwei, Gu Chen hurriedly explained to President Zhou: "This is our team member, her name is Lu Weiwei. ”

"Hello, President Chow. Lu Weiwei shook hands with him.

President Zhou smiled and said: "It seems that it is right to invite you over, what is wrong with the current police? Are they all so good-looking? No wonder your Director Zhao said that you are the platoon of the Furong Branch, at first I thought he was bragging." ”

"Haha. Hearing that President Zhou praised people, Lu Weiwei felt that this president was an old man, and his words were so durable, so she hurriedly continued to introduce him: "This is Yuan Shasha from our third group, this is Lao Wang." ”

"Hello, President Zhou. ”

"Hello. ”

Several people shook hands with each other and greeted each other, which can be regarded as a simple acquaintance with each other.

Gu Chen asked him curiously: "President Zhou, what is the main task of the public welfare activities we participated in today?

"Pretty much. President Zhou brought everyone to the pickup truck, and also pointed to the supplies behind the pickup truck:

"Our activity is quite special, called "Caring Together, Volunteer Home in Action". ”

"A piece to care?" Lu Weiwei looked at the slogan posted on the materials, and felt that it was not as special as President Zhou said, so she asked a little puzzled: "Does this mean anything?"

"Absolutely. Knowing that Gu Chen's team was also the first time to participate in this kind of activity, President Zhou simply explained to everyone:

"Our 'piece' here has two meanings here, one is together, and the other is a dollar. ”

And this activity also originated from a project of our Jiangnan Volunteer Association that has been persisting in helping the elderly for 8 years, called a derivative activity of "Warm Orphan Action". ”

Lu Weiwei was stunned: "It's still ...... And that means?"

"Haha, of course. I felt that it was necessary for the police to give the police a good science about the derivative activities of the Volunteer Association before the activity started, so President Zhou said:

"The main purpose of our activity is to raise love funds for the Orphan Warming Action in a way that gathers small love. ”

"Every month, this project only accepts donations of 1 yuan per person, and gathers the strength of everyone to care for the disabled, widows, and people in extreme poverty. ”

"From last month to today, a total of 5,721 yuan has been donated, and a total of 5,721 people have participated. ”

Seeing that everyone was stunned, President Zhou smiled and said, "You Director Zhao are also the donors among them." ”

"Zhao Ju is also a donor of the Warm Orphan Action?" Yuan Shasha was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "So that's the case, I said how can we Zhao Ju know you." ”

Gu Chen hurriedly asked, "Then can we participate in donating?" ”

"yes, I'd like to participate too. Lu Weiwei said.

When Zhou Xiaoling heard this, she couldn't help but smile and said: "Thank you for your support of the work of our Volunteer Association, but we have a rule here that we only accept donations of 1 yuan per person every month, otherwise this activity will have no practical significance." ”

"Yes, Xiaoling is right. I understood that Gu Chen wanted to participate in the donation activities, but it seemed that everyone still didn't understand very well, so President Zhou said:

"The reason why I only receive a donation of 1 yuan per person every month is also to avoid everyone competing to donate, and the actual purpose I want to achieve is to let more ordinary people participate. ”

"If you think about it, you may not be so enthusiastic when you are usually asked to donate, but if I only accept 1 yuan per person every month, if there is more, will more people participate?"

Gu Chen was right to think about it, and couldn't help but say, "It seems to be such a truth." ”

Zhou Xiaoling also said: "Actually, our President Zhou is very smart, he just launched this 'One Piece to Love' activity, and there are many members of the Volunteer Association who don't understand it, and I feel that there is no need for this, but guess what happened later?"

"More and more people are participating?" asked Gu Chen.

Zhou Xiaoling nodded fiercely: "That's right, from more than 320 people participating at the beginning, nearly 6,000 people have participated now." ”

"President Zhou's purpose is so simple, that is, I hope everyone will use the most basic and best way to convey love and everyone's support for "Warm Orphan Action". ”

"Bang! bang!"

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but applaud.

Gu Chen also admired and said: "It seems that President Zhou has really taken great pains to get more people to participate in public welfare, so these materials in the car are all purchased with the funds raised by the 'One to Care' action, right?"

"Haha. President Zhou also nodded with a smile and said lightly: "That's right, that's the case." ”

Today, we, the friends of the Volunteer Association, have exchanged this love for condolences and passed it on to the elderly in need. ”

"Of course, there are also those who don't follow the routine, such as an eldest sister in today's association, who is the proprietress of a restaurant. ”

In addition to preparing a piece of fruit for each elderly person, she also used her expertise to make a cold noodle with eggs for each elderly person. ”

I asked her, and she said that this is also a piece, and everyone else said that it is a piece, so I can't help it, so I can only do this. ”

"Haha, I feel like I'm hearing someone praising me again. ”

Just as President Zhou's words fell, a middle-aged woman dressed plainly walked over with a smiling face.

"Look, just said Cao Cao Cao Cao arrived. President Zhou gave up a position, pushed the woman to the front row and said, "Everyone, let me introduce you to this female Cao Cao, she is the proprietress of Jiangnan Canteen, Sister Zhao Wenjing Zhao." ”

Gu Chen found out that it was the middle-aged woman in a vest who came to comfort Zhou Xiaoling when he saved Zhou Xiaoling that day, so he stepped forward to greet her: "Hello Sister Zhao, I am Gu Chen from the Third Criminal Investigation Group of the Furong Branch." ”

"Oh, of course I know you, the hero who saved our Xiaoling that day, how can you not remember?"

Of course Zhao Wenjing remembered Gu Chen.

Gu Chen's heroic performance that day gave everyone present too much shocking impact.

At that time, everyone at the scene, almost everyone was nervous, for fear that the blade in the gangster's hand would make a mistake and kill a policeman.

But while everyone was worried, Gu Chen used almost impossible means to counter the gangster and kick the gangster into the trash can in front of everyone, when his hands were tortured, his eyes were blinded, and his whole body was held hostage by knife-wielding gangsters.

This matter spread very well on the side of the Volunteer House, and several versions were quickly derived.

Therefore, when Gu Chen came here, as long as he had the opportunity to be someone again that day, there was almost no one he didn't know.

Gu Chen smiled embarrassedly: "That's what I should do, who made me a people's policeman? Since I chose to wear this uniform, I must take on this responsibility." ”

"Young man, I like the way you exude positive energy. "Zhao Wenjing simply doesn't like Gu Chen.

At this time, some other members of the association wearing red vests also came over, and everyone joined in the ridicule.

Many people also recognized Gu Chen, who was the hero who subdued the gangsters in the first place.

Therefore, Gu Chen was surrounded by three layers inside and three layers outside, and everyone rushed to take photos with Gu Chen.

Seeing that the group photos were endless, and the time had already passed 8 o'clock, Gu Chen turned his head to President Zhou and said, "President Zhou, the time is almost there, isn't it?"

President Zhou was stunned, looked down at his watch, and suddenly patted his bald head and said, "Oh, you see my memory, I have to set off quickly." ”

Glancing at the other women who continued to rub Gu Chen's side to ask for a group photo, President Zhou also had a headache and said, "Okay, okay, it's almost okay, we're here to do public welfare today, those lonely old people are still waiting for us, hurry up." ”

Seeing that President Zhou also spoke, the crowd of people who asked for a group photo suddenly converged, and everyone walked back to their respective vehicles, ready to set off at any time.

Zhou Xiaoling leaned in front of Gu Chen and said, "Officer Gu, can I take your car? I will go to the countryside later, the road is a little far, I will show you the way." ”

"Yes. Gu Chen didn't mind, nodded and agreed.

So everyone got ready to pedal.

But just when Zhou Xiaoling saw Gu Chen sitting in the driver's seat and she was about to walk to the co-pilot's seat, Lu Weiwei sped up her pace and took the first step to get in.

Zhou Xiaoling: "???"

Feeling sloppy?

Seeing this, Yuan Shasha and Officer Wang, who were on the side, immediately held back a smile.

Officer Wang said in his heart, can you Lu Weiwei be generous?

However, everyone knows that Lu Weiwei has never been generous when it comes to sitting in the passenger seat.

The convoy was formed at the Volunteers' doorstep and then headed for their destination.

Gu Chen's police car was in the last row, followed by a white off-road vehicle in front.

On the way, Gu Chen felt that the atmosphere was strange, and everyone didn't talk much.

Glancing at the rearview mirror in the car, Gu Chen opened his mouth and asked, "Xiaoling, the members of the Jiangnan Volunteer Association are all individual industrial and commercial households, right?"

"Not exactly. Zhou Xiaoling finally found a topic to resolve the embarrassment just now, so she hurriedly said: "The members of our volunteer association come from all walks of life, including civil servants, teachers, doctors, individual businesses and some ordinary workers, and of course you police. ”

"After all, everyone has their own jobs, so those who can get together to do public welfare are often these individual industrial and commercial households with free time. ”

"Like today's "Warm Orphan Action", most of the participants are self-employed businesses, and they are all small bosses who are keen on public welfare, and they like this sense of participation. ”

"Then are there a lot of places we are going to today?" asked Yuan Shasha, who was sitting next to Zhou Xiaoling.

Zhou Xiaoling nodded silently: "Today is mainly to go to a few places in Guangming Town, because we will go to different places every month, and we all come in turns." ”

"The main thing is to care for those who are disabled, widowed, and extremely poor, and before we go, we will communicate with local cadres in detail to get a specific list, so we have a clear goal. ”

"So that's the case?" Gu Chen, who probably understood the situation, nodded silently, feeling that this kind of public welfare was quite interesting.

In particular, President Zhou's wisdom can be said to be admirable.

The vehicle drove on the provincial road for nearly 50 minutes, turned right from a fork in the road, and drove directly in the direction of Guangming Town.

Geographically speaking, Guangming Town is located in the southern area of Jiangnan City.

Being in the middle of a mountainous terrain, you have to go through several tunnels and climb a winding mountain road.

However, recently, in order to solve the problem of inconvenient transportation in Guangming Town, some construction teams have been working overtime to open up several necessary tunnels, so that Guangming Town can shorten unnecessary winding roads.

After 1 hour and 48 minutes of driving, the road ahead is no longer winding and gradually becomes smooth and open.

When Gu Chen passed an old bridge, he found that the iron plate in Guangming Town had already been rusted, and it was tilted to the side at a 45-degree angle.

This is the only way to get to Guangming Town.

And not far from the old bridge, a young man seemed to have been standing there for a long time.

He kept looking left and right at the passing cars, as if waiting for someone to show up.
