Chen Qing told Zhang Zhong that they are now doing this. In addition to donating to build schools and supporting poor students, they have also begun to turn their attention to those families in need.
However, unlike donating schools, things are more complicated when dealing with poor families.
It takes a lot of work from the very beginning to judge.
Zhang Zhong was rich, but he could not help the world at the same time.
Charity should also be done selectively, try to help those who are more in need, leave money to those who are more in need, and leave time to those who are more urgent.
Moreover, Zhang Zhong has always told Chen Qing that charity is not just about giving money, but also about giving more than money, such as patience.
Since you have spent money, you must spend it to produce results.
Zhang Zhong is a person who pays great attention to efficiency, and this is also true when it comes to charity.
There was a situation before where they gave money to the families of poor students, allowing parents to invest as much money as possible into their children's education while ensuring their livelihood.
But the result was very disappointing. The parents used the money to buy food and drinks.
And instead of buying the kind of rations that guarantee life, he bought a lot of meat and even wine, and the money was quickly spent.
It's not that poor households can't eat meat, but it's still a bit wrong to spend it like this.
Later, they had no choice but to give away money. Instead, they sent some books and food and drinks, but these books were of no use at all and the children did not read them at all.
In the end, Zhang Zhong chose to give up on such a family.
Some people may think that Zhang Zhong is too cruel. These people are so ignorant because they have not received education. They should be given more patience and they will get better over time.
Zhang Zhong also knows that as long as you give enough patience and time, the situation will gradually get better.
To put it bluntly, if this generation cannot change, the next generation cannot change? If the next generation cannot change, then the next generation cannot change either?
It can definitely be changed.
But Zhang Zhong didn't have that kind of time.
They are not the only people who need help. There are many other people who need help. If Zhang Zhong gives up these difficult things, the time and energy saved can help more people.
This is Zhang Zhong’s efficiency theory.
Just like when taking an exam, you should first pick up the simple tasks on the test paper and wait until you finish the simple tasks before doing the more difficult ones. This will at least ensure that you can get the points you can get first.
So now Zhang Zhong would rather Chen Qing and the others spend more time investigating, rather than letting them blindly fund it. He believes that the time for investigation will be saved by choosing the right target.
After finishing the phone call with Chen Qing, it was already past nine o'clock in the evening.
Pengpeng and her parents had already gone into the room to sleep, and Xu Yuhan was lying on the bed reading a book with a facial mask on.
Zhang Zhong glanced at her and said with a smile, "Read like this, be careful of your cervical spine."
Xu Yuhan rolled her eyes at him and said indifferently, "It's so comfortable, you can't control it."
Zhang Zhong smiled, shook his head, and walked into the study room opposite.
He took out the fake pen he carried with him, opened his notebook, and wrote today's date on it.
This pen was given to him by Shen Jian at that time. It must be said that a good pen is durable. This pen has not worn out after being used for so long.
However, he is also considering whether to buy another pen. If he keeps using a pen, it will eventually break.
Now this pen is more than just a pen, it also represents the friendship between Zhang Zhong and Shen Jian to some extent.
After writing down the date, Zhang Zhong picked up his pen and started writing scratchily on the paper.
After visiting Lu Guanghua today, he suddenly wanted to write down the affairs of the Lu family, and this impulse became stronger and stronger in his heart.
He didn't even have to think about it deliberately, the story had already been drawn up in his mind.
In fact, it cannot be said to be fake, because these are all real stories. He just made some empathy and associations based on the Lu family's story.
"Xu Shusheng was lying on the bed, and when he saw Hu Fuzhi's face, he suddenly thought of Xu Xiaofei. More than ten years ago, Hu Fuzhi and Xu Xiaofei had played together in this room, when they were teenagers.
.”
"At that time, he should be doing some kind of work in the yard. Usually he is not at home, and Xu Xiaofei is also going to school. The child's mother is the only one left at home. There are some jobs that women can't do. This time, he can't stay at home for a few days, and he can't leave the construction site.
Drive him. He likes the construction site and his family. He likes to stay at the construction site for a while and then go home for a few days. The boss guides him to work, and his wife and children guide him to make money, but he can't stay at one end for too long.
.If you stay at the construction site for too long, people will get tired. If you stay at home for too long, it is not good. I can’t say what’s wrong with it, it’s just not good.”
"When we return to the construction site, the workers will come over with rice bowls at meal time. They know that whenever Lao Xu goes home, he will definitely bring food. Lao Xu's wife is a busy person, and the work in the field is not left behind.
Things on the pot are even better than expected."
At the beginning, Zhang reused flashbacks and recalled from the perspective of Lu Guanghua (Xu Shusheng), telling the general situation of their family and his life at the construction site.
It wasn't until Lu Guanghua "escaped home" from the construction site that he suffered a heart attack on New Year's Eve and was hospitalized and bedridden.
Zhang Zhong used a lot of psychological descriptions, and there was also a sense of stream of consciousness. This is because Zhang Zhong has been studying stream of consciousness recently.
At the back, the perspective suddenly changed and turned into Xu Xiaofei, Xu Shusheng’s son.
The same large amount of psychological descriptions continued until Xu Xiaofei committed suicide.
After Xu Xiaofei's death, the perspective shifted to Xu Xiaofei's mother, Lu Yingmei.
If there is any part of this novel that has the most stream-of-consciousness characteristics, it is Lu Yingmei’s perspective at the end. From Lu Yingmei’s perspective, there is no concept of time and story line in the later period, and it flows completely with her own consciousness.
In fact, it cannot be said to be flowing, it should be said to be beating.
Lu Yingmei's consciousness developed a sense of fragmentation and confusion in the later period. It was like a movie lens, zooming far away for a while, very close for a while. Standing still for a while, and shaking left and right for a while.
If it weren't for the foreshadowing of the previous two perspectives, Zhang Zhong doubts that most people would not be able to stand Lu Yingmei's final perspective.
In order to find Lu Yingmei's sense of confusion, Zhang Zhong tried to imitate the state of a schizophrenic, but in the end he failed to find the state of a schizophrenic, so he completed Lu Yingmei's part when he was extremely sleepy.
He finished this part in a daze. He thought he couldn't write it well, but the effect was unexpectedly good. He actually felt confusion and fragmentation in what he wrote in a daze.
Zhang Zhong wrote this novel purely with pen and paper, about 80,000 words, and it took him more than two weeks.
