Chapter 257 Looking at each other and smiling is not against the heart

After a while, Mr. Gao came back to get the medicine.

"Brother, please take good care of the patient. Let's visit the next household first and then come back to deliver things tomorrow." Yan Zixiu and others stood up and left.

The man thanked him profusely and sent him outside the gate, looking at everyone's backs for a long time.

Yan Zixiu and his team continued to investigate the situation of the residents in difficulty.

The poverty-stricken area of ​​Xiaoyao Town is really poor.

The family only had one quilt, rags and rags barely covering their bodies, no heating supplies, and it was as cold as an ice cave. The house was dark and dark, with the roof open to the sky. There were only handfuls of noodles and handfuls of rice left in the noodle vat. They were malnourished.

There are many people with sallow faces and skinny muscles, those with a family sitting in relative distress, those who sigh, those who are sick and have no money to pay for medical treatment... they are everywhere.

Yan Zixiu had seen similar situations in rural poverty alleviation in his native world and in South America, so he was not too surprised.

Miss Jia and Mr. Gao were different. Although they were from this town, they had never been so deep into a poverty-stricken area. Their hearts were deeply shocked:

There are still days like this?!

Is there such a life?!

We are all human beings, why do some people live like this?!

On the way, Yan Zixiu told them a story: "There used to be an emperor who grew up in a deep palace. Once, the minister reported that a famine occurred in a certain place. The little emperor asked, what is famine? The minister said, famine

That is, the people have no food to eat. The little emperor asked, why don't the people eat meat?"

Yes, why not eat minced meat? Everyone was silent for a while.

"If it weren't for Mr. Yan, I wouldn't know anyone living such a hard life." Miss Jia said to herself.

"Brother Yan, give money to every household you visit. Don't make yourself have no money to spend." Mr. Huang said with concern.

Yan Zixiu smiled: "Thank you, Mr. Huang. I know it well, I won't have no money to spend. Besides, I am born with talents that will be useful, and all the money will come back. As long as you are dedicated and diligent in creation, there will be no money to spend."

?”

"I am born with talents that will be useful, and I will come back after all the money I have spent." Mr. Gao repeated, "Okay, that's very well said."

The group member He Jiayu, who had been silent all this time, said: "Mr. Yan, I am really convinced by you now. Your casual remarks are all classic quotes."

"Why, are you convinced now? I was convinced before the literary meeting was over." Mr. Gao was in a good mood and joked.

Huang Lao said: "I'll make a bet for everyone, Brother Yan will definitely not be a thing in the pool. In the future, everyone will definitely look up to him."

Miss Jia said: "I believe what Mr. Huang said."

Yan Zixiu smiled and shook his head: "I don't like to be looked up to. I hope that no matter how things change in the future, everyone will be equal friends. Just like today, we will look at each other and smile, and never go against our hearts."

"Looking at each other and smiling, don't go against your heart?"

Several people thought about it for a while and felt that this kind of life is a real human life.

…

Because they investigated carefully and diagnosed and treated patients on the spot when they encountered them, they conducted thorough investigations from noon to late at night. In the meantime, everyone just had a bowl of noodles and a sesame seed cake, and it was time for dinner.

Early the next morning, everyone bought supplies according to the situation. In the wind and snow, they carried various cotton clothes and quilts, rice, flour, oil, salt, charcoal and medicine on their shoulders, and delivered them to poor residents one by one.

The patients who were diagnosed and prescribed by Yan Zixiu all improved greatly after taking the medicine. Not only did the medicine work, but also because there were people who cared about them, those patients had hope for the future and regained their spirits.

During the entire event, the three thousand taels of silver were insufficient, and Mr. Gao and Miss Jia made up for it with more than one thousand taels from their own pockets.

After a busy day, people from the Cultural Club held a tea party at the Yanyu Tea House in the evening to celebrate the success of the poverty alleviation activities.

"Everyone, for the first time in our Xiaoyao Town, no one froze to death or starved to death in the severe cold. This is a matter bigger than the sky. Everyone here has merit in it. Come, I respect you.

Let’s have a drink,” Mr. Huang said emotionally on the stage.

"Thank you Mr. Huang and Wenhui for giving us this opportunity." The people below responded one after another.

"Mr. Huang, every one of us has participated and has merit. Then tell me, is there anyone who has the greatest merit?" Miss Jia stood up and asked.

"Of course there is. Everyone, who has the greatest merit?" Mr. Huang asked.

"Yan Ziling!" Everyone said in unison. Indeed, without the leadership of "Yan Ziling", this activity would not have been launched.

Yan Zixiu stood up and thanked: "Thank you all friends. As the ancients said, the law does not rise alone, but relies on fate. Although I am the initiator, I do not have the platform of the Cultural Society, the support of many judges such as Mr. Huang, and the support of all of you here.

How can so many people benefit from investigating the situation and delivering supplies in the wind and snow? One flower blooming alone is not spring, but a hundred flowers blooming together fill the garden. I think everyone's merits are the same."

"Okay! Well said!" These words made everyone feel warm in their hearts.

Miss Jia said: "Yesterday, Mr. Yan told me that my talents will be useful, and I will come back after all my money is gone. I thought about this sentence all night and all day long. What is useful? I once compared myself with others.

I feel useful when I am excellent. But yesterday and today’s activities made me understand that I only feel truly useful when I benefit others.”

These words were very profound, and everyone was silent for a while to think.

Wanting to be useful but afraid of not being useful is a common inner sentiment among people. But how many people have thought about what is truly useful?

After a while, Mr. Huang broke the silence: "Ruoyan's words are profound and worth recalling. But today is a successful event, so we still have to celebrate. When I first met Mr. Yan, he played for us

I listened to a piece of music. At that time, it made me feel as if I was hearing fairy music. Do you want to listen to another piece?"

"Mr. Yan can also play the piano?"

"Okay, okay."

"Please invite Mr. Yan to come on stage!"

…

"The six-stringed harp is not around." Yan Zixiu spread his hands.

"I'll get it." Miss Jia flew out of the window.

Everyone knows her identity as an immortal cultivator, but because she usually doesn't act like an immortal cultivator to her fellow villagers, everyone has a favorable impression of her. Now she showed off her skills to get the piano for everyone, so it caused a stir.

Cheers.

After a while, Miss Jia brought the guitar.

Yan Zixiu took the guitar and came to the stage. He pressed the strings with his left hand and plucked the strings with his right hand, and played and sang "Let the World Be Full of Love".

This is a Chinese charity song in 1986. It was composed by Guo Feng and lyrics by Chen Zhe and others, and was sung by more than a hundred Chinese pop music singers. It is one of the milestones in the history of Chinese pop music and one of the most beautiful songs in the history of Chinese pop music.

brilliant moment.

hold your face gently

Wipe your tears away

This heart belongs to you forever

Tell me I'm no longer alone

Stare deeply into your eyes

no more languages ​​needed

hold your hand tightly

This warmth remains unchanged

…

Members of the Cultural Society had just returned from poverty-stricken areas. This song reminded them of the grateful expressions and tears in the eyes of the beneficiaries during the process of helping the poor, and they couldn't help but be deeply moved again.

The people present were very smart. After Yan Zixiu played and sang once, everyone began to sing together:

We are happy together

we endure it together

We have the same expectations

We share the wind and rain

We pursue together

We cherish the same love

Whether you and I have ever known each other

Whether in front of you or in the horizon

Sincerely wish you

I wish you happiness and peace

…

…

"Very good."

“It’s so beautiful.”

A burst of warmer applause echoed throughout the audience.

"I want to engrave these two days of activities in my heart."

"Me too."

…

If you want to overcome your inferiority complex and gain confidence, you must clarify the true meaning of usefulness.
