"Ergou, your family is not well off, why did you donate so much?" an aunt asked in surprise.

"Hehe, Uncle Li put in a lot of effort when he helped build the roof of my house. I can't be ungrateful." Li Ergou scratched his head and said embarrassedly.

As more and more people joined the donation team, the originally deserted village entrance suddenly became lively. Everyone was talking to each other, with smiles on their faces.

There is a warm feeling in the air, like a fire in winter, dispelling all the cold.

Looking at the money slowly piling up in the donation box, Shen Qiqi's mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a gratified smile.

She knew that her efforts were not in vain. Everyone's heart was kind, and as long as they were guided properly, they would burst out with infinite energy.

While registering, Lu Qing couldn't help but look up at Shen Qiqi, his eyes full of pride and love.

He knew that his Xiaoqi had this kind of charm that could make everyone willingly give for her.

Aunt Wang stood in the crowd, watching everyone discussing with each other, holding a few crumpled banknotes tightly in her hand. She gritted her teeth and finally put the money in her hand into the donation box.

Just as everyone was enthusiastically donating money, a voice broke the harmonious atmosphere: "Although the money has been raised, Uncle Li's son's illness is not a small amount of money..." Shen Qiqi's heart sank suddenly. She felt Lu Qing tighten his grip on her hand. The two looked at each other and saw a hint of worry in each other's eyes.

The donation line is getting longer and longer, and the donation box is getting fuller and fuller.

Looking at the wrinkled banknotes, Shen Qiqi felt warm in her heart, sweeter than eating honey.

She seemed to see Uncle Li’s son lying on the hospital bed, smiling gratefully at them.

"Qiqi girl, you are really a living Bodhisattva!" Uncle Li burst into tears, holding Shen Qiqi's hand tightly, and was so excited that he couldn't speak.

"My life will be yours from now on!"

Shen Qiqi quickly supported Uncle Li and said with a smile: "Uncle, what are you talking about? It's normal for neighbors to help each other." She turned to look at Lu Qing, and the two smiled at each other, and everything was said without words.

“Qiqi, you are really the pride of our village!” Village chief Zhang also came over and patted Shen Qiqi on the shoulder, his face full of appreciation.

"If it weren't for you, Uncle Li's family wouldn't know what to do!"

The villagers gathered around and gave Shen Qiqi and Lu Qing a thumbs up.

"Qiqi, you are so great!" "Lu Qing, you married a good wife!" The praises came one after another, surging like a tide.

Shen Qiqi and Lu Qing were surrounded by villagers, as if they were in a sea of ​​flowers.

The sunlight shines on their faces, reflecting their happy smiles.

At this moment, they felt unprecedented satisfaction and joy.

Looking at the lively scene in front of her, Aunt Wang felt mixed emotions.

She secretly reached into her pocket and touched the remaining banknotes, a complicated expression flashing across her face.

As night fell, the village returned to peace.

Shen Qiqi and Lu Qing held hands and walked on the way home.

The moonlight shone on them, lengthening their figures.

“Qiqi, today is really great!” Lu Qing held Shen Qiqi’s hand tightly, his tone full of excitement.

“I’m so proud of you!”

Shen Qiqi smiled, leaned on Lu Qing's shoulder, and said softly: "Actually, this is all thanks to everyone. I just did a small and insignificant thing."

"No, you did a great job!" Lu Qing looked down at Shen Qiqi, his eyes full of love.

"You always bring hope and warmth to everyone."

Shen Qiqi raised her head and looked into Lu Qing's deep eyes, feeling a sweet sense of happiness in her heart.

She reached out her hand, gently stroked Lu Qing's cheek, and said softly, "It's great to have you by my side."

The next morning, Shen Qiqi and Lu Qing arrived at the village committee early, ready to start the next work.

"Qiqi, although the fundraising was successful this time, but when it comes to the actual arrangements for mutual aid work..." Village Chief Zhang hesitated to speak, his brows furrowed, as if he had something to hide.
