Chapter 509: Huo Qinghuan Returns (Page 1/2)
Lin Man told Huo Li that she wanted to go to Phoenix to be a volunteer, and Huo Li refused without a second thought.
"Xiao Man, we don't know how long it will take Qingci and the others to come back, so don't go over and cause more trouble. What will happen to the child if you go?"
Huo Yining stood up and said, "Grandpa, I can take care of my younger brothers and sisters. I can cook."
Huo Li remained silent. Lin Man knew he was unwilling, so she said, "I think we should forget it. Even if I go with those volunteers, we won't be able to help much. Let's donate more money and supplies this time."
Huo Li's expression suddenly turned from gloomy to cloudy, and looked much better. "Do you want to donate the clothes that adults and children don't wear?"
"The Organization Department sent people to collect old clothes from our homes, and we will donate some of them when the time comes, and also donate some money to the disaster area."
No one knew under what name Huo Qingci made the donation, but Lin Man planned to donate some old clothes and money in the name of their family.
Huo Li nodded and said, "Okay, you're all good kids. Don't worry about Qingci's donations at work. You can donate as much or as little as you want. I've decided to donate half a year's salary."
When Huo Yining heard about the donation, he asked cautiously, "Grandpa, should we also donate? My brothers and sisters and I have New Year's money."
Huo Li smiled and asked him, "Ningning, how much do you plan to donate?"
Huo Yining raised three fingers and said, "Grandpa, I plan to donate thirty yuan. I originally planned to donate all my New Year's money, but then I thought, it would be bad if outsiders knew that we had so much New Year's money."
Lin Man agreed, "Yes, you're still a child. Usually, donating a few cents or a dollar would be enough. Donating thirty is already a lot. Maybe your school will organize a donation after school starts."
Huo Yian suggested, "Mom, why don't we just wait until school starts and donate. Maybe if we donate a lot, the teacher will give us a certificate of honor."
Huo Yixin said with a pained look on her face, "Mom, do we really have to donate money for the start of school? I'm saving my New Year's money to buy a piano when I grow up. I don't want to donate thirty dollars, I can only donate three dollars at most, is that okay?"

Lin Man slowly squatted down, gently hugged Huo Yixin, and said softly, "Baby, don't be sad. If your brother is willing to donate 30 yuan, then let him donate. You can donate as much as you want. No one will blame you for it. No matter how big or small the donation is, it is an act of love and help."
Huo Yiwen walked up to Lin Man, looked at her firmly, and said seriously, "Mom, I know there are many children in the disaster area who have lost their parents. They are homeless and very pitiful.
I think all my lucky money should be donated to them so they can build a new home soon."
Lin Man smiled and nodded, her eyes filled with satisfaction. She understood that no matter how much the children donated, what mattered was that they had a kind and helpful heart.
The money spent may not come back, but the kindness of the children is priceless, and this is the most proud thing.
"You are all good children. No matter how much or how little you donate, we will always support your decision. Don't donate this time. Wait until school starts and the school organizes donations, then you can donate!"
When the disaster area begins to be rebuilt, the school will definitely organize a donation drive. At that time, you can let the children donate according to their own wishes, no matter how big or small the amount is.
Although Lin Man did not go to the disaster area in person, the Organization Department recruited volunteers to help collect old clothes.
After learning the news, Lin Man signed up without hesitation and actively participated in volunteer work.
Not only did she take the lead in donating all the old clothes and bedding in her home, she also donated an additional 200 yuan in cash on behalf of her entire family.
This kind of behavior of leading by example has inspired more people around him to participate in disaster relief work.
Half a month later, Huo Qingci, who participated in the rescue, had not returned yet, but Huo Qinghuan, who was far away in southern Yunnan, returned.
