Chapter 405 Belated Concern
The next morning, Xiao Hu took his men door to door, followed by a few enthusiastic aunts to help them identify the houses.
The people in the compound put the money they were going to donate in their pockets early in the morning, and gave one to each family.
"Ladies and gentlemen, just leave the money here. The detailed list of supplies purchased with this money will be posted on the street office bulletin board.
If you have any questions, please feel free to report them. This is everyone's good intention, and we will definitely not make any changes."
Xiao Hu said this to everyone in every compound one by one. He said it so much that his voice became a little hoarse.
The third uncle handed over a cup of cold tea. Xiao Hu thanked him, took it, took a few big gulps, and wiped his mouth.
Since Ma Baoguo retired, he has had more things to do.
One thing after another was overwhelming him.
I finally understand why Director Ma went bald so early.
Diao Yulian stuffed the money into the box and said, "Then we have to watch it carefully."
Xiao Hu nodded hurriedly: "No problem, this is what I should do."
Donations are basically calculated on a household basis. Those with ample funds donate more, while those with limited funds donate less.
Donate according to your ability, no matter how much you donate, it shows your kindness.
Now all five members of the Xie family are working and have donated.
Gao Xiulan held a small stack of notes in her hand and stuffed them into the box one by one.
A few little kids in the compound, Tangyuan and Zhouzhou, who were still in school, also smashed their piggy banks and donated all their pocket money.
After Xiao Hu finished collecting the money and was about to go to the next house, Mingzhu stumbled out with money in her hands.
Wu Jiabao's heart skipped a beat and he quickly squatted down to support his daughter.
"What are you doing out here?"
“I’ll donate too!”
Mingzhu patted her chest, lifted her pigtails, broke free from Wu Jiabao's arms, stood on tiptoe, stretched out her chubby little hands and handed them to Xiao Hu.
The money in his hand was all in small amounts, stacked together, and it was obvious whose private money Mingzhu took out.
"You're accepting it? You're accepting everything everyone gives you, so why aren't you accepting mine? I have money! Here."
Xiao Hu was at a loss whether to laugh or cry when someone offered him money. He glanced at the Wu family but still didn't dare to accept it.
Wu Jiabao gritted his teeth, his heart bleeding.
The girl didn't know where he got the private money he had saved for a year.
The little cotton-padded jacket is really a bummer.
Everyone around couldn't help but laugh.
Guan Nana held her forehead and sighed, glaring at the man fiercely.
He turned his head and said to Xiao Hu, "You keep it. This is also a gift from the child.
Wu Jiabao, why are you grinning like that? Come here!"
Pulling the man's ear, he walked towards the backyard, and only heard Wu Jiabao begging for mercy.
Diao Yulian came back from the bathroom and looked up: "What's going on? Why are you looking at me? I donated the money."
Just as he was about to squeeze over to wash his hands, he caught a glimpse of Xiao Hu writing down the amount in a small notebook with his head down.
I feel dizzy. Why did her family donate so much money?
Guan Lamei reached out and patted her shoulder, praising her for once: "I didn't expect your Mingzhu to be so generous and donate all of Wu Jiabao's private money.
Hey, Diao Yulian, why are you dizzy? Wu Shengli, come over here and give me a hand.
…
During the two months of summer vacation, flood disasters in various places have been a concern for everyone.
News spread across the country.
News reports were also broadcast on TV and radio. The street office sent several pickup trucks to transport daily necessities and head south.
Many young men who were responsible for escorting supplies also went along and waved to their families.
Everyone is in high spirits and eager to go to the front line to contribute to the people.
Xie Yi pinched his wrist at home: "It would be great if I could go too."
"You've been sitting in an office for so many years, do you still have the stamina to keep up?"
Lin Xiaotong looked at his figure. He was already in his forties, so how could he still look like a young man?
Last year, an old shoulder injury flared up and he took a week off and stayed in the hospital. He lost several pounds and she was very worried.
Gao Xiulan hid beside Xie Dajiao and wiped her tears quietly.
She would also take the old couple to the hospital for a physical checkup once a year. Gao Xiulan was in good health, but Xie Da Jiao had some minor problems.
Gao Xiulan grabbed Xie Dajiao's ear, holding medicine in her hand, and kept chattering all the way.
Comrade Lao Xie also quit drinking beer.
After being discharged from the hospital, she asked Shen Tingyu to find a reliable Chinese medicine doctor to prescribe a recipe for her daily diet.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law got together to discuss what to do.
After taking supplements for nearly a year, my qi and blood circulation are smooth and my complexion is much better.
After Xie Yi was promoted, he had to do a lot less basic work.
Once you are over 40, you are no longer considered young in the workplace.
New employees in their early twenties are at the peak of their careers.
At the beginning of the year, Orange sold a game developed by his studio and earned his first pot of gold.
She kept the necessary funds for the later stage, and gave the rest to her loving investors in red envelopes according to the investment ratio.
Chengzi also generously bought a shop for his mother and grandmother in Wangfujing, and postponed the plan to buy a car for the time being.
"You need to take care of your waist, or I won't have to push you in a wheelchair when you get old."
Xie Yi lay down on the bed with his head on her legs.
The voice said, "No, I'm planning to go ice skating with you at Shichahai this year."
She sat back on the bed, put down the book in her hand, and touched his ear with her hand.
"You need to take more calcium, otherwise you won't have the strength in your legs and feet when you retire."
Xie Yi grabbed her hand, his eyes becoming more calm: "Let's make up together."
I ran my hands through my hair and noticed a few white hairs.
"Xie Yi, do you have white hair? Wait a minute, I'll pull it out and show it to you."
"No way? Isn't it said that men are at their prime at 41? Looks like he still needs to replenish his energy."
Xie Yi shook his head, sat up, and looked at himself in the mirror.
Sure enough, overtime work makes people age faster.
"I've decided. I'll definitely leave work on time from now on!"
There is no end to work, and life is your own.
Everyone is a small screw in society, but an important member of every family.
"What if you don't do it?"
She climbed out of bed and squeezed into the mirror image.
"Then punish me by kissing you!"
His lips gently pressed against the side of her cheek.
"Meow~"
Outside the window, Xiaobai, who was sleeping on a big branch of the apricot tree, grinned and cursed angrily, knocked over his small flower umbrella and slipped down from the tree.
The two-legged beasts have honey on their mouths and are the best at deceiving people.
He walked out of the yard and ran to find his favorite little cat.
I wonder if the little white cat with a fluffy tail likes to hear sweet words?
…
Everyone in the compound contacted relatives living outside the city to check if they had been affected by the disaster.
Diao Yulian sneaked to the post office, opened the piece of paper in her hand, and dialed the number on it.
Listening to the beeping sound, I felt uneasy and my fingers unconsciously wrapped around the phone cord in circles.
I silently thought about what I was going to say on the phone later.
"Hello—who's that?"
"It's me, Chunyan, I'm mom."
For a long while, there was no sound from the other side.
Diao Yulian kept saying, "Don't hang up yet, I'm not asking you for money.
I just heard that Su Province was also affected by the disaster this time. How is your place doing?"
After a while, a chuckle came from the other end of the phone.
"I'm fine, everything is fine at home, if there's nothing else, I'll hang up."
"Hey - why did it die?"
There was a busy tone on Diao Yulian's phone. She turned her head to check the time, which was exactly 59 seconds.
Come on, I didn’t even finish a minute.
After paying the money, he lowered his head and hurried out.
Someone murmured quietly, "Why is this child so angry? She's already a mother.
I don’t even know how to ask how things are going at home.”
