Chapter 596 The Road to Public Welfare
Beyond the hustle and bustle of the bustling city, Jiang Ciyou and Lu Jingchen turned their attention to those forgotten corners and embarked on their meaningful charity journey.
Their first stop was a poor village in a remote mountainous area. The car bumped along the winding mountain road like the veins of the earth, and outside the window were rolling hills and lush forests. Jiang Ciyou looked out the window, with both expectations for the unknown and deep concern for the people living on this land. Lu Jingchen focused on the steering wheel, his eyes firm and gentle, and he would turn his head to look at Jiang Ciyou from time to time, as if as long as she was by his side, any difficult road would not be a problem.
Finally, they arrived at the small village. At the entrance of the village, a group of children had already heard that there were caring people coming, and they looked around curiously and shyly. Although the children's clothes were simple and even a little worn, their eyes were clear and bright, like the twinkling stars in the night sky. As soon as Jiang Ciyou and Lu Jingchen got out of the car, the children surrounded them, and their innocent smiles instantly melted their hearts.
They brought a lot of supplies, including brand new school bags, colorful paintbrushes, piles of books, and various sports equipment. Jiang Ciyou squatted down and talked to the children cordially, asking about their studies and lives. A little girl timidly pulled the corner of her clothes, and Jiang Ciyou took the opportunity to hold the little girl in her arms and asked softly: "Baby, what's your name?" The little girl blushed and replied: "My name is Xiaohua." Jiang Ciyou gently stroked her hair: "Xiaohua, this name is really nice. Do you like painting? Sister brought a lot of paintbrushes." Xiaohua's eyes lit up and nodded vigorously: "I like it!"
Lu Jingchen discussed with the village leaders how to better distribute the supplies. He listened carefully to every need and put forward many practical suggestions. Afterwards, they held a small donation ceremony in the small square of the village. The sun shone on the square, and the children stood in a row neatly, with happy smiles on their faces. Jiang Ciyou and Lu Jingchen handed the school bags to the children one by one, and their hearts were filled with joy as they watched the children excitedly flipping through the stationery in the school bags.
After the donation ceremony, Jiang Ciyou and Lu Jingchen were not in a hurry to leave. They walked into the village school, which was a few dilapidated tile houses. The white lime on the walls was mottled and peeling, and the tables and chairs were shaky. But in the classroom, the children's reading voices were particularly loud. Jiang Ciyou walked into a classroom, picked up a piece of chalk, and wrote a few big words on the blackboard: "Knowledge changes destiny." She turned to the children and said, "Children, you must study hard. The outside world is wonderful. As long as you work hard, you can definitely get out of the mountains and realize your dreams." Lu Jingchen also stood aside, encouraging the children to bravely pursue their ideals. He told his experiences in the city, and those stories of struggle deeply attracted the children.
After leaving the mountain village, they came to a rescue station for street children in the city. The children in the rescue station had different experiences, some because of family changes, and some were abandoned by their parents, but they all found warmth and hope in this small rescue station. Jiang Ciyou and Lu Jingchen brought new clothes, toys and food. They played games and told stories with the children. Jiang Ciyou played role-playing games with several girls. She played the role of a gentle mother and patiently took care of the "children". Lu Jingchen played football with the boys in the yard, and laughter echoed in every corner of the rescue station.
In a room at the shelter, Jiang Ciyou found a little boy sitting alone in a corner, his eyes revealing loneliness and fear. She walked over gently, sat next to the little boy, and asked softly: "Little baby, what's wrong with you? Why don't you go play with everyone?" The little boy was silent for a long time before whispering: "I'm afraid they don't like me." Jiang Ciyou hugged the little boy in her arms distressedly: "How could that be? You are a very cute child, everyone will like you." Lu Jingchen also came over, he took out a small robot toy from his pocket and handed it to the little boy: "Look, this is a gift from uncle, do you like it?" The little boy raised his head and looked at the toy in Lu Jingchen's hand, with a hint of surprise in his eyes. He carefully took the toy and showed a long-lost smile on his face.
As the charity trip deepened, their footprints covered more places. Whether it was a remote rural primary school or a community of vulnerable groups in the city, they left their presence and love. Every help and every companionship made them understand the meaning of love more deeply. In this process, they also encountered many difficulties and challenges. Sometimes, the transportation of materials would encounter obstacles, and sometimes, facing the psychological trauma of some children, they felt helpless. However, they never thought of giving up.
Jiang Ciyou and Lu Jingchen support and encourage each other on the road of public welfare. Their love has been sublimated in these good deeds. It is no longer just an emotional entanglement between two people, but includes great love for the whole society. They interpret with their actions that true love is not only the romance under the moonlight, but also the hand in hand in the face of difficulties and challenges, and the selfless dedication in giving help and warmth to others.
