Upon hearing Lin Chengyu's words, Song Ziqing's heart softened, and she almost burst into tears.
She knew that Lin Chengyu was not an orphan, but he was practically an orphan!
He never experienced parental love growing up. His grandparents loved him, but they also loved his parents and siblings, and always taught him to be filial to his parents and friendly to his siblings.
She also knew that Lin Chengyu had always longed to have his own family and children.
She knew even more that Lin Chengyu was a very responsible and loving man, and that he would definitely be a good father.
The reason she agreed to have children so early was that she sensed loneliness and a deep-seated lack of love from him.
If he gives birth to a child with both her and his blood, the childhood scar deep in Lin Chengyu's heart might slowly heal.
“Ayu, you’re right. Our child is the apple of our eye, and we can’t let him suffer even the slightest grievance. We want to give him the best education, the best life, and the warmest love.” Song Ziqing gently touched her belly and said tenderly.
Lin Chengyu hugged Song Ziqing with emotion and said, "Qingqing, you are such a good mother. I am so lucky to have married such a good wife and have such a good partner. We will definitely be happy, and our children will definitely be happy too."
Hearing her husband's words, Song Ziqing felt incredibly warm and happy.
She gently stroked her belly, felt the baby kicking, and tears streamed down her face.
She knew she had made so much effort and sacrifice for this child. But seeing her husband's care and love, she felt it was all worth it.
Seeing his wife's tears, Lin Chengyu felt deeply saddened. He knew he couldn't let his wife suffer any more injustice or harm.
He hugged his wife tightly and said, "Qingqing, don't worry. I will always be by your side to take care of you and the children. We will definitely be happy."
Hearing her husband's words, Song Ziqing felt incredibly gratified and at ease. She nodded and said, "I believe in you, we will definitely be happy."
The two hugged for a while, then Song Ziqing suddenly remembered the school matter and said, "Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. We don't know the child's specific situation yet, let's focus on our studies. By the way, the school is holding a charity donation event soon, would you like to participate in a program?"
Lin Chengyu felt somewhat depressed upon hearing about the school's situation. He knew that he hadn't participated in school activities for a long time because he had to take care of his wife and children.
Not wanting his wife to feel neglected, he said, "I don't really want to go; I've been a bit busy lately."
Hearing her husband's words, Song Ziqing felt a pang of disappointment. She knew that because of her pregnancy, she had already lost many opportunities and friends.
Not wanting her husband to think she was being unreasonable, she said, "Okay, then forget it."
Seeing his wife's disappointment, Lin Chengyu felt terrible.
He suddenly remembered his promise to his wife: to make her the happiest woman in the world.
He felt he couldn't let his wife down any longer, so he said, "Qingqing, I'm sorry. I know I've been neglecting your feelings lately. Actually, I've always wanted to attend the charity donation event; I think it's a great opportunity to do something for the children."
Song Ziqing was deeply moved by her husband's words. She said, "Then go and participate. I will support you."
He said, "Thank you, Qingqing. Actually, I've always wanted to go with you, but I was worried about your health."
She said, "I'm fine, don't worry. I'll take good care of myself and the baby."
He said, "That's good. I'll try my best to arrange my time to go with you."
Hearing her husband's words, Song Ziqing was also very happy. She said, "Okay, let's go together."
In the past two years, Hong Kong has suffered from a severe drought, the worst in a century. For nine consecutive months, not a drop of rain fell. The Hong Kong government had to strengthen the original water rationing system, changing the water supply from once a day to once every four days, with each supply lasting four hours. The lives of 3.5 million Hong Kong residents were plunged into hardship, and more than 200,000 people fled their homes.
Citizens can only queue up to collect water on water supply days, and sometimes, in order to fight over the hard-won water resources, people even break out into brawls in the streets.
The Water Supplies Department advised citizens to wash their hair every two weeks; schools suspended physical education classes to reduce student sweating and bathing; five or six people took turns bathing in a basin of water, which was then used to wash clothes and mop the floor; people ate apples instead of brushing their teeth and rinsing their mouths; and many religious figures even held rain-praying ceremonies in various places...
The drought has made life extremely difficult for the 3.5 million residents of Hong Kong. As a result, the Hong Kong Chinese General Chamber of Commerce and the Hong Kong and Kowloon Federation of Trade Unions jointly appealed to the Guangdong Provincial Government for assistance and proposed a plan to build water pipelines to transport water from the mainland to Hong Kong.
Construction of the Dongjiang-Shenzhen Water Supply Project officially commenced, with tens of thousands of workers involved in the project, beginning to build this vital water supply lifeline for Hong Kong.
The Dongjiang River originates in Jiangxi Province and is the closest and most abundant natural river to Hong Kong. However, even so, diverting water from the Dongjiang River to Hong Kong was no easy task. Because the water transport route passed through six high mountains, and there was a lack of advanced technology and machinery at the time, the technicians involved in the project could only rely on manual surveying and transportation.
At this time, Hong Kong University and the Chinese University of Hong Kong, together with celebrities from the entertainment industry, held a large-scale charity donation gala, asking everyone to donate money to the mainland government for the construction of the Dongjiang-Shenzhen Water Supply Project to alleviate Hong Kong's water shortage.
After all, the mainland is really short of money. Now that the mainland government's Premier Zou has personally approved the construction of the Dongjiang-Shenzhen Water Supply Project, those in Hong Kong who will benefit from it must also give something in return. That's why this charity gala donation event came about.
Song Ziqing did not want to miss such a charity gala with historical and political significance.
As the president of Song Lin Group, Lin Chengyu also received an invitation from the Hong Kong Chinese General Chamber of Commerce.
Even Song Jingwei and Zhang Lihua, a married couple who are professors at the Chinese University of Hong Kong, were invited.
That afternoon, the family finished their dinner early and then drove to the newly renovated auditorium at Hong Kong University.
"Xiaoyu, did you bring the check for the donation from Songlin Group?"
On the way, Song Ziqing did not forget his main purpose, after all, the most important thing about attending a charity gala was to donate money.
Their family is not short of money; as a wealthy family in Hong Kong, they are not short of water for the time being.
However, Songlin Group now has several thousand employees, most of whom are short of water. If this continues for a long time, Songlin Group will also be affected.
