Chapter 305: To live well is to do meaningful things
Rural market.
In fact, it is just a small shop on both sides of a narrow street. There are also idle farmers on the street bringing their own grain, needles, threads and brains to sell.
I bought firecrackers from a supermarket called Millennium in the township. I heard from Chen Yuqing who came with me that it was a convenience store set up by a chain of large supermarkets in various towns and villages in the big city where my hometown belongs. Although the variety of things in it is not large, but daily necessities, including
Stationery and the like are all available..
Yao Xiaojing asked the salesperson to take out all the stationery stocks. Chen Yuqing was surprised by her behavior: "Xiaojing... why did you buy these things?!"
She met Chen Mufeng's thoughtful eyes and said with a smile: "I think the school's conditions are too bad. I want to help them improve it."
Chen Yuqing remained silent.
The current situation of the village primary school is like a mirror in every villager's heart, but the family is poor... Every family has children like this, and they really can't spare any extra money to help others...
"Yuqing... don't feel bad... things will get better gradually... You see, when we were in school, there were only 5 of us in total, and we had to bring food from home. How could we have such good conditions now?
"Chen Mufeng smiled and put his arms around his brother's shoulders to comfort him.
Yao Xiaojing also smiled slightly: "We have thought about it... Now that conditions permit, we can help as much as we can... You and your aunt are both good people. If you can't do it, we will help you complete it..." Last night
The old man said nothing about the money he gave to his aunt. It would be a good thing if he could quietly donate it to the school in their name.
Finally, Poussin returned to the village with a cart full of stationery.
The car stopped at the entrance of the village, and some helpful villagers came over to report that the kitchen was already here... He excitedly gestured at the size of the stove and the amount of fresh pork, wishing he could take them all back to school at once...
"Er Niu...come and help! Don't just eat!" Chen Yuqing called him... Er Niu scratched his head, smiled and came over to help...
A few people chatted and laughed, carrying the boxes into the school gate.
Although Yao Xiaojing had already gained a certain understanding of the flowing water mats in rural areas through Chen Mufeng's help before, she was still shocked and speechless when faced with such a huge and noisy scene.
Most of the originally empty playground has been taken up by the tables, chairs and benches brought by the kitchen. The kitchen is already cleaning ingredients and fresh vegetables by the pool. The hot oil pan is on the stove, and the fresh tofu has been cooked and fried... On the playground.
Folks all over the village, most of them volunteered to help, some set the table, some cleaned up the debris on the ground, and some were busy preparing for tomorrow's ceremony. Everyone has something on their hands, including those who just came back.
Chen Mufeng was extremely busy, and she was the only one... this idle person staring at him...
The village women helped choose vegetables and wash the dishes, so she wondered if she could help.
But as soon as she arrived at the pool, she was chased away by a group of chirping wives: "The new wife can't work...go, go...rest..."
After finally getting in touch with her, she couldn't bear to leave.
Pointing to the tools they were washing quickly, they asked, "What is that?"
"Luffa pulp...you don't have it in the city...I know what kind of magical magic scarves you use now..." They laughed wildly, and their excited faces lit up...
.
It turns out that this is loofah flesh... She has only heard of it, but has never seen its true appearance...
Smiling, she picked up the clear spring water from the mountain and replied with a smile: "I don't use magic towels at home. My mother likes to use the most primitive cloth to wash dishes..." Chi Yuyan really doesn't like it now.
As for all kinds of fibrous kitchen supplies, although she didn't have loofah pulp at home, she did have pure hand-woven cloth that Aunt Zhang brought from home.
"It's the same as mine... I wash my house with a cloth..." One of the women raised her hand and smiled kindly at Yao Xiaojing.
Ever since, Yao Xiaojing's trick has made a breakthrough... When Chen Mufeng came to her for trivial matters and asked her to deal with them together, he saw his Xiaojing and a group of fellow villagers moving from dishcloths to stoves to stoves.
Natural gas, modern cooking utensils are full of energy...
He called her over, stretched out his hand to hold her little hand that became cold from playing in the water, and said sympathetically: "Isn't it cold? Silly girl..."
She gave him a silly smile and said, "It's not cool...it's very interesting to talk to them."
"Little girl, you know what interesting things are..." Chen Mufeng knocked on her forehead in disgust.
"Interesting things are meaningful things..." I don't know why when she said this, she suddenly remembered the famous sayings of Xu Sanduo, that silly but always concise special forces soldier who was active on the screen.
"To live well is to do something meaningful, and to do something meaningful is to live well!" She imitated Xu Sanduo's tone and suddenly said solemnly.
"Pfft---------" Chen Mufeng couldn't help but laugh...
This damn girl knows everything...
In the busyness, time soon entered the afternoon. After the kitchen sent out all the helping villagers with two large pots of chowder and steamed buns, a few people carrying a movie machine caused a sensation among the villagers...
It has been two years since the last movie screening. According to the villagers, the village chief specially invited a projectionist from the town to celebrate the birth of another college student in the village.
The children are still in class, but they don’t know that the outdoor movie they have been thinking about for a long time is about to meet them.
The sound of reading loudly, combined with the cheers of the villagers, stirred up the world under the mountain... Yao Xiaojing's heart was also full of joy and joy. She hugged Chen Mufeng's arm and jumped excitedly...
"Mu Feng...that's great!! We can enjoy the romance of an outdoor movie at night..."
