Chapter 883
The next day.

7:[-] am.

Volunteer Home.

Gu Chen drove the group members to the appointed place early.

At this moment, people of all ages are gathered at the gate of the Volunteer Home.

Everyone is wearing a red vest with the words "Jiangnan Volunteer Association" printed on it, and everyone is wearing a little red hat, communicating with each other about their daily life.

Gu Chen parked the police car at the entrance of the Volunteer Home.

On the steps, there are many daily necessities posted with the words "gifted by the Jiangnan Volunteer Association".

Gu Chen casually took a look, and found that everything was in stock.

"Junior Brother Gu, you said we're here to participate in the event, do you want to buy something?" Lu Weiwei only found out when she arrived at the scene that she came to participate in the event empty-handed.

Although I just cooperated with the Furong branch to participate in social welfare, it is mainly to complete the task.

But from a rational point of view, it feels like there is nothing wrong with just coming here empty-handed?
"Shouldn't it be necessary? Director Zhao didn't say anything." Gu Chen pulled up the handbrake, then opened the door and got out of the car, looking around casually.

Today I was wearing the new summer duty uniform and the new single police equipment, and I immediately felt much more refreshed.

Officer Wang looked at the prepared supplies and heaved a sigh of relief for no reason: "I feel that as long as the people arrive, we will be fine. Everyone should be diligent later and help carry the supplies. Other volunteer associations should arrange it."

At this moment, several middle-aged men happened to walk to the material storage point, preparing to load the firewood, rice, oil and salt into a pickup truck.

Gu Chen hurriedly brought everyone together to help.

And just after Gu Chen loaded the last box of peanut oil onto the pickup truck, someone suddenly patted his shoulder twice.

Turning around, Zhou Xiaoling was standing behind Gu Chen with a grinning face: "Officer Gu, we meet again."

"Director Zhou." Gu Chen joked directly.

Zhou Xiaoling frowned suddenly, and said angrily, "What's your name, Director Zhou? Just call me Xiaoling."

Tilting her head and looking at Lu Weiwei, Police Officer Wang and Yuan Shasha, Zhou Xiaoling waved her hand to greet them: "Hi, we meet again."

"Yeah, it seems that we are destined to be sent here to participate in the activities." Lu Weiwei was also very curious. I didn't expect that the place where Zhao Guozhi sent everyone to participate in the activities was the Home of Volunteers.

What's more, I didn't expect that everyone would cooperate with Zhou Xiaoling to work here.

Zhou Xiaoling smiled and said: "I heard from our vice president before that he would invite a few policemen to participate in public welfare, but I didn't expect it to be you."

"At that time, I was still thinking, who will the police station send over? But when I saw you getting out of the car just now, I knew it. It turns out that you are the guests invited by the vice president today."

"We are not guests." Gu Chen patted the dust on his hands, and said with a smile on his face: "We are volunteers just like you today. We are here to participate in public welfare activities, not to be guests."

"Haha, yes." Zhou Xiaoling felt lucky to see Gu Chen again, she didn't expect to have a chance to see Gu Chen after a hasty goodbye last time, so her words became a little fufu.

"Xiao Ling, is everything ready?"

Just as everyone was talking, a bald man in a white shirt and black trousers came out of the Volunteer Home with a black bag.

Zhou Xiaoling hurried forward and said: "President Zhou, everything has already been loaded into the car. I am chatting with the policemen who participated in the event. They are the policemen who rescued me last time."

Glancing at Gu Chen secretly, Zhou Xiaoling said again: "Especially the most handsome one, his name is Gu Chen, he was the one who exchanged me from the gangsters last time, if it wasn't for him, maybe I would really die No more guarantees."

"Oh? So it's them?" The bald-headed vice president heard Zhou Xiaoling's remarks, and immediately stepped forward, shaking hands with Gu Chen and saying:

"Hi Gu Chen, actually, I have heard about you from Director Zhao. He said that you are the star policeman of the Furong branch and also the face of the Furong branch. That's why I asked him to borrow you and your team. , to participate in this public welfare activity together.”

"I didn't expect that you were also the hero who saved our Xiaoling last time. The young man is really responsible."

"It's an honor." Seeing Chairman Zhou's praise of himself, Gu Chen also maintained his modesty and said: "Protecting the lives and safety of the people is our duty as a police officer. We just did what we should do."

"I heard that you are still injured?" President Zhou asked again.

Gu Chen pointed to a small scar on his neck, and couldn't help but smiled and said, "It's a small thing, it doesn't get in the way."

"Bad." Chairman Zhou sighed, turned to glance at Zhou Xiaoling, and then said to Gu Chen, "Zhou Xiaoling is actually my cousin and niece, who just graduated from university this year."

"Originally, her parents entrusted her to me and asked me to arrange a job for him in the Volunteer Association, but I didn't expect this kind of thing to happen."

"It's a good thing you took care of everything for Zhou Xiaoling, otherwise I really don't know how to explain to her parents, and I still keep it a secret."

Looking up and down Gu Chen, President Zhou also nodded appreciatively: "Well, you and Xiaoling seem to be about the same age, so you should belong to the same age."

"But you are already a policeman, and you are still so responsible. It seems that the younger generation in our country, okay!"

Seeing President Zhou praise himself so much, Gu Chen also felt embarrassed, and quickly explained: "The last rescue operation was not due to me alone, all our team members contributed their own strength."

Turning to look at Lu Weiwei, Gu Chen hurriedly introduced to Chairman Zhou: "This is a member of our team, her name is Lu Weiwei."

"Hello, President Zhou." Lu Weiwei shook hands with him in greeting.

Chairman Zhou smiled and said: "It seems that it is right to invite you over here. What's wrong with the police now? Are they so good-looking? No wonder Director Zhao said that you are the face of the Furong branch. At first I thought he Bragging."

"Haha." Hearing President Zhou's praise, Lu Weiwei felt that the president was an old Jianghu, and his words were so pleasant to listen to, so she hurriedly continued to introduce to him: "This is Yuan Shasha from our third team, this is Lao Wang .”

"Hello, President Zhou."

"Hello."

A few people shook hands and greeted each other, and it was a simple way to get to know each other.

Gu Chen asked him curiously: "President Zhou, what is the main task of the charity event we participated in today? Sending warmth?"

"Almost." Chairman Zhou brought everyone in front of the pickup truck, pointing to the supplies behind the pickup truck, and said:
"Our activity is rather special, called "Care Together, Volunteer Home in Action"."

"Come to care for us together?" Lu Weiwei looked at the slogan on the materials and felt that it was not as special as Chairman Zhou said, so she asked a little puzzled: "Does this have any meaning?"

"Of course there is." Knowing that Gu Chen's team is also participating in this kind of activity for the first time, President Zhou simply explained to everyone:
"The 'one piece' here has two meanings, one is together, and the other is one yuan."

"And this activity is also derived from a project of our Jiangnan City Volunteer Association that has persisted for 8 years, called "Warm Orphan Action", a derivative activity."

Lu Weiwei was stunned: "There is still such a meaning?"

"Haha, of course." I felt that I needed to give the police a good science on the derivative activities of the Volunteer Association before the event started, so Chairman Zhou said again:
"The main purpose of our activity is to raise love funds for the Warm Soldiers Action by collecting small loves and making big achievements."

"Every month, this project only accepts a donation of 1 yuan per person, and gathers the strength of everyone to care for the disabled, widowed, and extremely poor."

"Only from last month to today, a total of 5721 yuan has been raised, and a total of 5721 people participated."

Seeing everyone in a daze, Chairman Zhou smiled and said: "You Director Zhao are also one of the donors."

"Zhao Bureau is also a donor of Operation Nuan Gu?" Yuan Shasha was taken aback, but also smiled and said: "So that's the case, I said how did Zhao Bureau know you."

Gu Chen hurriedly asked: "Then can we participate in the donation? I can donate more."

"Yes, I want to participate too." Lu Weiwei said.

Zhou Xiaoling couldn't help smiling when she heard this, and said, "Thank you for your support to the work of our volunteer association, but we have a rule here that we only accept donations of 1 yuan per person every month, otherwise this activity will be meaningless."

"Yes, what Xiaoling said is quite correct." I understood that Gu Chen wanted to participate in the charity donation activity, but it seemed that everyone still didn't quite understand, so President Zhou said again:

"The reason why I only accept donations of 1 yuan per person every month is also to avoid everyone rushing to donate. What I actually want to achieve is to get more ordinary people to participate."

"Think about it, you may not be so enthusiastic about asking you to donate, but if I only accept 1 yuan in donations per person every month, don't ask for more, will more people participate?"

Gu Chen was right after thinking about it, and said involuntarily, "It seems to be such a truth."

Zhou Xiaoling also followed suit: "Actually, our President Zhou is very smart. He just launched the 'Let's Care Together' activity, and many members of the Volunteer Association didn't understand it. It didn't feel necessary, but guess what happened later?"

"More and more people are participating?" Gu Chen asked.

Zhou Xiaoling nodded fiercely: "That's right, from the initial participation of more than 320 people, nearly 6000 people have participated now."

"Chairman Zhou's purpose is so simple, it is to hope that everyone will use the most basic and best possible way to pass on love and support for "Warm Orphan Action"."

"Clap! Clap! Clap!"

Hearing this, everyone involuntarily applauded.

Gu Chen was also full of admiration and said: "It seems that Chairman Zhou really took great pains to get more people enthusiastic about participating in public welfare, so the supplies on the car were purchased with the funds raised from the 'Let's Caring Together' campaign Bar?"

"Haha." President Zhou also nodded with a smile, and said lightly, "That's right, that's right."

"Today, our friends from the Volunteer Association exchanged this love for condolences and passed them on to the needy old people."

"Of course, there are also those who don't follow the routine. For example, the eldest sister of the association today is the proprietress of a restaurant."

"In addition to preparing a piece of fruit for each elderly person, she also used her expertise to personally make cold noodles with eggs for each elderly person."

"I asked her, and she said that this should be considered as one piece. If everyone else agrees, then I have no choice but to do so."

"Haha, I seem to hear someone praising me again."

Just as President Zhou finished speaking, a plainly dressed middle-aged woman walked over with a smiling face.

"Look, I just said Cao Cao and Cao Cao will be here." Chairman Zhou gave up his position, pushed the woman to the front row and said, "Everyone, let me introduce this female Cao Cao to you. She is the proprietress of Jiangnan Cafeteria, Zhao Wenjing Zhao Miss."

Gu Chen found out that it was the middle-aged woman in a vest who came to comfort Zhou Xiaoling when he rescued Zhou Xiaoling that day, so he walked up to greet her: "Hello, Sister Zhao, I am Gu Chen from the Criminal Investigation Team [-] of the Furong Sub-bureau."

"Hey, of course I know you. How can I not remember the hero who saved our Xiaoling that day?"

Of course Zhao Wenjing remembered Gu Chen.

Gu Chen's heroic performance that day shocked everyone present.

At that time, everyone at the scene, almost everyone, was very nervous, fearing that the blade in the gangster's hand would slip and a policeman's life would be ruined.

But while everyone was worried, in front of everyone, with his hands handcuffed, his eyes blinded, and his whole body held hostage by the gangster with a knife, Gu Chen countered the gangster with almost impossible means, The gangster kicked into the trash can.

This incident was very popular in the Volunteer's Home, and several versions were quickly derived.

Therefore, when Gu Chen came here, as long as there were people present that day, almost everyone he didn't know.

Gu Chen smiled embarrassedly: "That's what I should do. Who made me a people's policeman? Since I chose to wear this uniform, I must take this responsibility."

"Young man, I just like the way you exude positive energy." Zhao Wenjing simply couldn't like Gu Chen very much.

At this time, some other members of the association wearing red vests also came over, and everyone joined in the ridicule.

Many people also recognized Gu Chen as the hero who subdued the gangster back then.

Therefore, Gu Chen was surrounded by three floors inside and three floors outside, and everyone rushed to take a photo with Gu Chen.

Seeing that the group photos were endless, and it was already past 8 o'clock, Gu Chen turned to President Zhou and said, "President Zhou, the time is almost up, right? Should we start?"

President Zhou was stunned, looked down at his watch, patted his bald head and said, "Oh, look at my memory, I have to leave quickly."

Glancing at the other women who continued to come to Gu Chen's side to ask for a group photo, Chairman Zhou also had a headache and said, "Okay, okay, it's almost done, we are here to do charity today, those lonely old people are still waiting for us , hurry up and leave."

Seeing that Chairman Zhou had also spoken, the group of people who were asking for a group photo stopped immediately, and everyone walked back to their vehicles, ready to leave at any time.

Zhou Xiaoling leaned in front of Gu Chen and said, "Officer Gu, can I take your car? I'll go to the countryside later, the road is a bit far, I'll show you the way."

"Okay." Gu Chen didn't mind, and nodded in agreement.

So everyone is ready to pedal.

But just when Zhou Xiaoling saw Gu Chen sitting in the driver's seat and she was about to walk to the co-pilot's seat, Lu Weiwei quickened her pace and got in first.

Zhou Xiaoling: "???"

Do you feel sloppy?

Seeing this, Yuan Shasha and Police Officer Wang at the side immediately suppressed their laughter.

Police officer Wang thought, can you, Lu Weiwei, be more generous?
But everyone knew that Lu Weiwei had never been magnanimous about sitting in the co-pilot seat.

The convoy completed formation at the door of the Volunteer Home, and then drove towards the destination.

Gu Chen's police car was in the last row, followed closely by a white off-road vehicle in front.

On the way, Gu Chen felt that the atmosphere was weird, and no one spoke much.

Glancing at the rearview mirror inside the car, Gu Chen asked, "Xiao Ling, the members of the Jiangnan City Volunteer Association are all self-employed businesses, right?"

"Not all of them." Zhou Xiaoling finally found a topic to resolve the embarrassment just now, so she hurriedly said: "The members of our volunteer association come from all walks of life, including civil servants, teachers, doctors, individual businesses and some Ordinary workers, and of course you, the police.”

"After all, everyone has their own jobs, so those who can get together to do public welfare are often these self-employed businessmen who have free time."

"Like today's "Warm Orphan Action", most of the participants are self-employed businesses, and they are all small bosses who are keen on public welfare. They like this sense of participation."

"Aren't we going to a lot of places today?" Yuan Shasha, who was sitting next to Zhou Xiaoling, asked.

Zhou Xiaoling nodded silently: "Today we mainly go to a few places in Guangming Town, because we go to different places every month, and we all come in rotation."

"The main purpose is to care for the disabled, widowed, and extremely poor. Before we go, we will communicate with the local cadres in detail to obtain a specific list, so we have a clear goal."

"So that's the case?" Gu Chen, who probably understood the situation, nodded silently, feeling that this kind of public welfare is quite interesting.

Especially the wisdom of President Zhou, it can be said that it is indeed admirable.

The vehicle drove on the provincial road for nearly 50 minutes, turned right from a fork in the road, and drove directly to the direction of Guangming Town.

Geographically speaking, Guangming Town is located in the southern area of ​​Jiangnan City.

Because it is in the middle of the mountain, it needs to pass through several tunnels and cross a winding mountain road.

However, recently, in order to solve the problem of traffic inconvenience in Guangming Town, some construction teams have been working overtime to open up several necessary tunnels, so that Guangming Town can shorten the unnecessary winding road.

After 1 hour and 48 minutes of driving, the road ahead is no longer winding, and gradually becomes flat and open.

When Gu Chen passed an old bridge, he found that the iron plate of Guangming Town was already rusted and tilted to one side at a 45-degree angle.

This is the only way to go to Guangming Town.

And not far from the old bridge, a young man seemed to have been standing there waiting for a long time.

He kept looking around at the passing vehicles, as if waiting for someone to appear.
