Chapter 294 Extra Fundraising

There was no such thing as royalties in those days, and the royalties were all bought in one lump sum, but 150 was very considerable.

It was not that they paid them a high price to take care of the children, but Lin Shu and her friends felt that this brochure was of far-reaching significance and great use.

The brochure on eugenics and good parenting she wrote played a significant role in her hometown. Later, Wei Ling and her friends asked Sister Lin, Lu Hehuan and others to draw a special brochure to help promote the family planning policy in various places. Now the family planning policy in her hometown province is being implemented more gently and effectively, without the need for barbaric and rough means like in some places.

This book for children focuses on promoting knowledge such as vaccination and drug safety, which is very useful for ordinary families.

In this era, the mortality rate of children due to hepatitis, pneumonia, etc. is still very high. If vaccination can be carried out as early as possible, large-scale infection can be prevented.

After receiving the royalties, everyone was very excited and thought about how to spend the money.

Panpan: "We will give 60 to the art group and 30 to the writing group according to the market situation, and the remaining 60 is for coordinating."

The people in charge of painting are Hou Ying and two classmates. The two classmates painted less, so each of them will get 15, and Hou Ying will get 30.

The writing is in charge of Hou Bo and his friends, and they will divide it among themselves.

The remaining 60 will be divided between him and Tiantian, and of course some should be given to mother and aunt, but if mother and aunt don't want it, it will be theirs.

Hou Bo said to Lu An: "Why don't we not divide it, and put it in the public school as our summer vacation expenses."

They are not short of money now, and he knows that Lu An is not short of pocket money either.

Lu An has a good relationship with Hou Bo now, and he has money, so he naturally listens to Hou Bo.

Hou Ying is not stingy, and generously donated all her thirty dollars.

Hou Wei is still young, and has no say in front of his brothers and sisters, but fortunately he doesn't mind, anyway, he is the youngest, so he can ask his brothers and sisters for anything he wants, and they will buy it for him.

Seeing this, Panpan said, "Why don't we do something more meaningful?"

Everyone stared at him curiously, "What is more meaningful?"

Tiantian immediately understood what Panpan meant, and she smiled and said, "Panpan means that we should donate the money to the commune in our hometown, so that children from poor families can get vaccinations."

Now the countryside adopts a surprise vaccination policy, and vaccinations cannot be given whenever you want.

Because vaccines need to be refrigerated, and there is no refrigeration in the countryside, vaccines cannot be stored at ordinary times. Vaccinations are organized collectively in winter and spring every year when the temperature is low.

This is in recent years. It was organized once every few years in the past.

Refrigeration is a problem, and the number of vaccines is not enough to meet the needs of the countryside.

Moreover, the types of vaccines that children in the countryside can get are very simple. Currently, there is a smallpox vaccine, which is the well-known smallpox vaccine, and the polio vaccine sugar pill.

In addition, most of the BCG, measles, diphtheria, whooping cough, neonatal tetanus and even mumps vaccines that children in the city are vaccinated with are not available. Some have never been heard of. Even though Lu Laodi has always been studious and has asked the commune frequently before, most vaccines cannot be bought even if you have money.

There is no vaccine in the countryside, and you can't get it whenever you want in the county. People come according to the household registration.

In addition to the smallpox vaccine and sugar pills that the Lu family children received during the collective medical treatment in the countryside, Lu's father and Fang Dihua spent extra money to take them to the county to get the BCG vaccine, which will prevent tuberculosis infection .

They didn't get any other vaccines because they couldn't buy the vaccine. So the Lu family's children, like other children, have had chickenpox and measles.

Even if it's measles, some children can't survive it, and it can be fatal. It's better to get the vaccination if you can.

As Panpan Tiantian learned more knowledge from studying medicine, she felt that children should be vaccinated in a planned manner according to a certain time, so that they can better prevent and control diseases.

Children in big cities have this condition, because the streets and health centers will regularly promote it, but in the countryside, forget it. It can only be organized once a year or every few years, and children of a few years old and newborns are vaccinated together.

At this time, self-paid vaccines are not expensive, and 100 yuan can buy a lot of vaccines.

Panpan and Tiantian discussed buying a batch for the children in their hometown.

There is a pharmaceutical factory that produces vaccines in Qizhou. The director of Qizhou Hospital can be asked to arrange someone to help order them. When the time comes, they will be sent to the county hospital and then taken back by the doctors.

The barefoot doctors in the commune and the brigade do not have refrigerators, but they are equipped with refrigeration bags, and they can add ice to refrigerate medicines themselves.

There is an ice lolly factory in the county, which is also responsible for making ice for the hospital.

Now the communes and brigades have electricity, and many communes have equipped their health centers with refrigerators.

When the two of them said this, everyone thought it was a good idea.

Hou Ying: "Will one hundred yuan... not be enough?"

One hundred yuan is a huge sum of money for them, but for a child in a commune, it is nothing, and it is definitely not enough.

Hou Wei: "We can collect donations. When the school organizes donations, I help carry the boxes. I can do it."

Panpan's eyes lit up, "Hou Wei is quite resourceful."

Hou Wei was very happy to be praised by his brother, and immediately offered to help fill the donation box.

Tiantian: "There should be a supervisory department, otherwise people will think we are cheating and will spend the money on ourselves."

It was just a small idea at first, but everyone discussed it and finally turned it into a fundraising event.

Lin Shu was busy, and the secretary Xiao Qi came over and whispered: "Sister Lin, Panpan and Tiantian are planning something big."

Lin Shu was surprised and said: "They took the money and haven't left yet?"

She thought they would spend the money after getting it. They said they were going to eat out a few days ago.

Xiao Qi pointed to the corner of the yard outside, "There."

Lin Shu went out to take a look, and soon found them behind the small flower bed. Several people were discussing the details enthusiastically.

Lin Shu listened for a while. Lu Pan is indeed the money-making expert in the original book. Although he is now studying medicine instead of doing small business due to various influences, his way of thinking is still very financial.

Inspired by Hou Wei's fundraising, he has already talked about the idea of ​​setting up a children's vaccine fund.

"We can open a bank account and publish it in newspapers and magazines so that people with good intentions and spare money can donate to do good deeds. In this way, children from poor families can also get vaccines, and everyone will be happy."

"It only takes one time to collect donations with a box. Through publicity in newspapers and magazines, there will be a steady stream of donations."

Several children agreed that what he said was right and that it was a very good idea.

"In order to prevent people from doubting the authenticity of the information, we will hand over the account to the public security and health departments for joint supervision. The money can only be used to vaccinate poor children in the countryside and cannot be used for other purposes."

Lin Shu sat behind them and listened for a while. This was a good idea, but it would be a disaster if it was not implemented well. In

fact, many organizations have very good intentions. Who can say that some charitable foundation organizations were not originally for poverty relief?

But even if there are more supervisions, the benefits are too great and people's hearts are moved, and they will slowly become rotten and smelly.

The children's idea is good, but if they succeed in raising a lot of money to help poor children get vaccinated, then some people will definitely see the benefits of this fundraising method, and some people will immediately follow suit to make money.

The kindness of kind people is abused, those who need help do not get help, and greedy people make a fortune.

Without effective and strong supervision and correction capabilities, even the best methods will be abused.

She did not pour cold water on the children. She supported their fundraising activities this summer and thought it was very meaningful. "Your father and I will also donate 20."

Hearing Lin Shu's voice, the children realized that she was listening from behind and greeted her one after another.

Lin Shu: "The problem now is not that rural children can't afford vaccines, but that the country has a limited amount of vaccines."

Lu An: "Auntie, why isn't there enough? Many people in South City don't want to get vaccinated, isn't it because there are too many vaccines to be used up?"

Lin Shu smiled, "The capital and provincial capitals definitely have more vaccines."

Even if the streets in the capital regularly promote vaccinations, many families are still unwilling to do so, which doesn't mean that the country has too many vaccines to use up, but that the resources are used up in the capital and provincial capitals first.

The children came to their senses, yes, they were so good at talking that Jin'er forgot this premise.

Lin Shu continued: "Besides, every household is not rich now. Except for a few families, most of the money is just for food and clothing. Where can I find spare money to donate?" There

must be donations, but the whole society is tight. There is really a limit to what ordinary people can donate, and two or three cents is not suitable for remittances, isn't it?

Even if you donate more, it is not appropriate at the moment.

She did not dampen Panpan's enthusiasm, "Your idea of ​​publishing in the newspaper is great, but start from a small start. If there are any problems with the plate, you can find them in time and solve them without causing too much impact."

Publishing in the newspaper has too much influence, and if there are problems, they cannot solve them.

Panpan nodded and smiled, "Mom, I understand. We need to do things step by step. We can't do it all at once."

He wanted to practice more and gain experience. "Let's not put ads in the newspaper. Let's just collect donations here with boxes. We can collect the money and buy a batch of vaccines from the pharmaceutical factory."

The children agreed.

Seeing that they were so sensible, Lin Shu was no longer worried and went back to work.

The children didn't leave either. The unit had enough materials, which made it convenient for them to make donation boxes and banners. They also wanted to make a book of kind-hearted people who donated money, and then write down the names of the kind-hearted people who donated money on it.

They were familiar with the uncles and aunts in Lin Shu's unit, and they were not shy at all. They went to ask for waste paper shells and planned to paste them themselves.

The lady in charge of logistics waste happily worked with them, gave them a wooden box with a lock, and also got them paste, brushes, ink, large cardboard, etc.

Lin Shu packed food for them and sent it over.

They worked together and almost finished the fundraising tools after lunch.

A wooden box with a lock and paper, a cardboard sign, and a flower directory.

The reason for the fundraising and the supervisory unit were written on the cardboard to increase credibility and supervision.

There are many supervisory units, including the Publishing Bureau, the hospital, and the police station, each of which has a great background.

The publishing team knew that it had been reported, and Tiantian represented the hospital. Finally, they went to the police station to file a formal report.

As long as there is a certificate from the police station, they are not scammers, and they will also accept the supervision of the police station to prove that the money raised is used to buy vaccines.

When the children went to the police station, the police on duty were stunned.

Police officer Jiang looked at the children in surprise, "You want to raise funds?"

Usually, each unit organizes fundraising on its own. If an employee is seriously ill and medical treatment is not covered, the unit will raise funds for treatment. If an employee dies and leaves orphans and widows, the unit will raise funds, etc.

But no one went to the police station to file a case. This is really the first time.

Panpan: "Uncle Public Security, please file a case for us to prove that we are not cheating people. And supervise us to prove that the money we raised is spent on buying vaccines instead of embezzling it. And if someone messes up and robs us of our money, Uncle Public Security must protect us."

The capital is a mixed bag of people, and there are hooligans.

Jiang Public Security had never seen such a child with such an idea, so he quickly went to apply to the leader.

The director happened to be in the unit, and he laughed after hearing it, and agreed because he thought the children had an idea.

Director: "Xiao Jiang, I'll leave this matter to you."

Jiang Public Security: "..."

The director actually supported them.

Policeman Jiang gave Panpan and the others a legal fundraising document, stamped the signboard, donation box, and donation list, took the key from the donation box, and told Panpan and the others that the record had been completed. After thinking for a while, he reminded them, "Don't hold too high hopes. This is not that easy."

Who would donate money to others for vaccinations if they have too much money? He was still nervous. The children were really naive.

Forget it, support the children and protect their kindness and innocence.

He said, "Then you can donate as much as you want?"

The children laughed and said, "Yes, one dollar is not too much, one cent is not too little."

The registration fee for seeing a doctor in the countryside is only five cents.

One cent can buy a pill, so of course it is not too little.

Policeman Jiang searched his pockets, scraped together 50 cents from a few dimes, and stuffed it into the donation box.

Other policemen who stayed at their units and did not leave the house thought it was interesting, and also searched their pockets to show their intentions.

They were all paid a fixed salary, so once they donated, they would not give a cent, at least 20 cents.

The children smiled so hard that their eyes were bent. Uncle Jiang had just said that no one donated, but they all donated.

"Thank you, uncle and aunt, I wish you good luck in your work and always smile!" The children thanked him and ran away with the donation tools.

Policeman Jiang locked the key of the donation box in the unit cabinet solemnly.

This is the urban area, there are no factories, they will collect donations at the government agencies for a while.

Most of the people here are government officials and staff, who are educated and understand the policies. When they saw the official seal of the police station, they had no doubts and many people donated money on their own initiative.

Of course, there were also people who not only did not donate, but also complained about them.

There was a man in his thirties, not tall, with white skin, wearing a pair of metal-framed glasses, and a shrewd look on his face.

He caught the children and interrogated them, asking them what their parents did, what their relationship was with the police station, whether they had any relatives there, and whether they had any relatives in the hospital or the pharmaceutical factory. He was particularly annoying because he kept asking questions.

"Is there an activity at school? Selecting outstanding class cadres or joining the Young Pioneers?"

"Your parents asked you to come, right?"

"Your parents are very calculating."

"Let me tell you, you..."

Tiantian finally couldn't help it, "This uncle, there are so many people coming and going, and you are the most stingy and nosy, just like those gossipy people in our countryside."

"You, you elementary school student are so rude! Do you know what unit I work for?"

Tiantian rolled her eyes at him and said to Panpan and others, "Let's try somewhere else."

Panpan: "Let's go to the cinema. There are many young brothers and sisters there, and they are more generous and less troublesome."

They left in a hurry, and the man was so angry that his nose almost smoked.

He held a penny in his hand and said angrily, "You have suffered a great loss! I will not donate anymore!"

The fundraising team moved to the People's Park. There were young men and women who had a target, and retired grandparents who were looking after their children. Most of them donated money. Some donated

a penny or a few cents. The children also thanked them happily and said auspicious words.

The last stop was the cinema, and there was a theater next to it.

When a few young people saw someone collecting donations, they started to curse without asking the situation.

"You won't use the money you collected to buy ice cream yourself, will you?"

"Did the teacher ask you to come?"

"You are lying, right?"

...

Panpan immediately took out the document with the stamp of the police station and explained to everyone the reason and purpose of the fundraising.

Hou Bo and others also showed the cards to everyone.

Someone was surprised and asked, "Is it a real police station seal?"

Tiantian said crisply, "Of course it's real! I still have my work permit!"

She took out her doctor's internship certificate from the PLA General Hospital and hung it around her neck.

The young people waiting to enter the theater to watch the movie gathered around, each of them very curious.

"Is it real?" A young woman with delicate eyebrows and clear eyes said, "I want to donate... one cent is okay?"

Tiantian: "Beautiful sister, you are so generous and kind. If you donate one cent, I will give one cent, and the children can get vaccinated."

The young woman was amused by her and took out the three cents that she originally wanted to buy snacks, "Then I will donate it all."

At worst, I will only watch the movie tonight without snacks.

Tiantian smiled and curved her eyes, "Thank you sister, sister, you are beautiful, kind-hearted and good at work!"

Panpan, Hou Wei and others also explained to people and solicited donations.

The young people who had been spitting without asking about the situation also hurried to donate money, no matter how much it was.

"I'm sorry, little friend." Someone apologized.

The children were very generous and said it was okay.

A little child who was passing by with his mother also donated his own two cents of pocket money.

Tiantian praised him, "Little brother, you are so kind and generous. I thank you on behalf of the children in my hometown."

The child felt a surge of warmth in his heart when he was praised, as if he had done something great. The red scarf on his chest became more colorful, and he was so happy that his front teeth fell out!

Tiantian was stunned, and then laughed.

The child's mother also laughed, "Oh, it finally fell down. You see, good deeds will bring good rewards."

The child was originally pouting and wanted to cry, but now seeing his mother, sister, and uncles and aunts around him all laughing, he also laughed out loud.

To make the onlookers happy, many young people donated generously.

Some donated two or three cents, while others donated three or five cents.

No matter how much, they received praise from the children, which made them feel a sense of accomplishment that they learned from Lei Feng to do good deeds and become extra noble.

It was almost time, Panpan and the others packed up and went back to Lin Shu's unit. Soon, Lu Shaotang and Chen Yanming came to pick them up.

It was dark when they got home, and Zhang Qiang and Li Dashan came to see them several times.

Finally, when they came back, Zhang Qiang asked anxiously: "Lu Pan, didn't you say you would be back at noon after going to the publishing house? We have been waiting for you all afternoon."

Pan Pan told him about the fundraising.

Zhang Qiang took out two dimes without saying a word, "I will donate too."

Pan Pan refused: "Are you and Li Dashan free? Let's go together tomorrow?"

Zhang Qiang: "Of course, I want to go together, I'm afraid you will leave us behind."

Pan Pan asked him to call Li Dashan over, and he went to give the royalties to the other two painting classmates.

The two classmates like painting, and are not very interested in other activities, especially not keen on socializing, which is more like Hou Ying.

But they are both boys, and Hou Ying doesn't like to play with boys other than her own boys. She would rather go to the fundraising with Hou Bo and Lu An.

When Panpan came back from outside, Li Dashan also came over and brought a plate of fried crispy fish.

Ever since Panpan gave him the idea, his father would carry out field training missions every now and then. As long as the military region had training missions, he would let him go. Deputy Battalion Commander Li, oh, now he is Battalion Commander Li, never complained at all, actively carried out the mission and earned the field allowance.

Now, Grandma Li and others in the hometown are busy raising rabbits and have no time to make trouble, and Li Dashan's mother gives ten yuan every month on time, and everyone lives in peace.

Dashan's mother is living a comfortable life now. She has money in her hands and likes to make delicious food for the children. Li Dashan never leaves Panpan, Tiantian and Zhang Qiang behind.

Grandma Fang, Xiaolan and other old and young people are so hungry that they have eaten long ago. Now they are curious about the children's fundraising.

Grandma Fang took out her handkerchief and also

wanted to donate a yuan. After living in the military compound, she couldn't spend her money. She didn't even have the chance to buy snacks for the children because the children were reluctant to spend her money.

Zhang Qiang and Li Dashan had already had their meal. After listening to their plan, they picked up the donation box and said, "Let's go for a walk in the courtyard."

After Panpan and Tiantian finished their meal, Zhang Qiang and Li Dashan also came back, sweating profusely, and their clothes were all wet.

Only passers-by outside thought it was fun and would leave their names after donating. No one in the military region would leave a name.

But they took a notebook and wrote down the rough amount.

The smallest donation here was 20 cents, and the largest was 5 yuan. Those

who donated 5 yuan were all leaders, such as the old chief, Minister Zhou, etc.

After a while, Father Lu, Doctor Shao, and Uncle Lu came over. They were not seeing patients today. They went out to play chess, fish, practice Tai Chi, etc., and their lives were very fulfilling.

Hearing the children's fundraising, the three of them also came back to donate.

Old Doctor Shao felt honored looking at the children. How could he have such good taste? When he first saw Panpan and Tiantian, he felt that they were destined to be

together and he liked them very much. As expected, they were diligent, studious, kind and generous. Uncle Lu also saw very intuitively that Panpan and Tiantian were different. Before, he was still upset that his children were not good enough, not as good as Lu Shaotang or Panpan Tiantian. Later, when he talked with the old leaders and others, they said something very pertinent, "How many children can compare to those two children?"

Anyway, there are no better children than them among the children who come and go around them.

The key is that the two children are neither arrogant nor impatient. They do not think that their parents are arrogant because they are cadres or rich. Instead, they are very approachable and you can make friends with them as long as you are willing.

Uncle Lu likes the two children more and more. Even the nephews are the children of the old Lu family!

He is proud of it!

The next day, Monday, Panpan and Tiantian can have a day off. They go to study on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays now.

Today they decided to go to the gate of the People's Hospital in the city in the morning and to the gate of the Union Hospital in the afternoon to collect funds.

This was suggested by Panpan. He thinks that most grandpas and grandmas are superstitious, or most people are superstitious. When they are sick, they like to pray to gods and Buddhas. Even if they see a doctor, they will want to pray to gods and Buddhas.

Instead of praying to the gods and spending money, why not donate it? Donating is also a good deed, which is no different from praying to the gods and praying to the gods?

Sure enough, the effect is gratifying.

Because many people here know Tiantian and Panpan, the doctors they saw here for fundraising came to say hello and donated money on their own initiative, which was equivalent to endorsing them. Other acquaintances and patients also donated.

No matter how much, giving a penny is money, don't mind.

The director personally came to donate five yuan, and asked someone to go to the water room to bring them cold boiled water. The children brought water bottles, but it was hot, and one bottle of water was not enough for each person to drink.

Dean Song: "Young doctor, why didn't Doctor Shao and Doctor Lu come with us?"

If the two dared to come, Dean Song would dare to pull them over to see patients. To collect donations, there is no need for the old doctor, just order two cleaners to come.

Tiantian smiled and said, "Grandpa Song, my Grandpa Shao and Grandpa are resting at home today."

Dean Song: "How much did you collect?"

Tiantian pointed to the donation box, "I don't know, the money is all in it. When it is full, we will go to the police station to open it, take it to the bank to exchange it for whole money and send it to the pharmaceutical factory to buy vaccines for my hometown."

Dean Song: "Young doctor, how about this, you put a donation box in our hospital for everyone to donate, and you can send it to the police station for a monthly summary?"

Tiantian's eyes lit up. Hey, this is a good idea.

Well, it would be nice if every hospital put one.

Dean Song smiled like an old fox. This kid will definitely be an amazing doctor in the future unless something unexpected happens. Now we should build good relationships with her and let her come to the hospital more often. No matter which hospital she works in in the future, she will come to the People's Hospital for consultation.

For now, the donation box is here. She must come often to check it out.

She can't come empty-handed, right?

Doctor Shao must come with her.

Hehe.

The old and the young laughed at each other and both thought it was a good idea.
