Reborn 1980: Good Wife Gets Rich and Busy

Xue Yang couldn't help but nod: "Yes! At first, the people below thought it was a small project, and they just needed a little help and subsidies. It wasn't until I saw a few photos that I thought it was a big deal."

"Food is the most important thing for the people." Xue Zhilan smiled bitterly: "If you don't have enough food, how will you have the energy to go to school? I remember that the hungriest time in my life was when I was studying."

Xue's mother agreed with a wry smile and explained: "Mental work consumes more rice! At that time, every household drank porridge, bowl after bowl. The elderly were okay, but the young people basically turned around and became hungry again. I was the same, every day We wait for all three meals to be served. Sometimes we can’t even open the pot at home, so my mother sends us to bed early, saying that we won’t be hungry when we fall asleep. What a feeling... I can’t sleep at all because I’m too hungry, and it’s so uncomfortable tossing and turning.”

Father Xue laughed and said, "You won't be able to sleep if you're too full or too hungry."

"Can you have enough to eat then?" Mother Xue rolled her eyes at him and said angrily: "Ninety-nine percent of the people in the country are hungry!"

Father Xue shook his head: "How is it possible... It's good enough to eat rice porridge every day, but it's impossible to be full. The third brother is good at medicine, but the patients are poor, and the income is only enough for the whole family to live on."

"Yes." Xue Zhilan explained: "We all have three meals of rice porridge. Sister-in-law three will get up early to cook it and try to leave it for a longer time so that the porridge can be thicker and we can eat it more easily."

"Hey!" Dad Xue stopped: "It's all those rice, all that water - it's a psychological effect! When you should be hungry, you are still hungry!"

Thinking about the past, the three old people all smiled bitterly and lamented that their lives are so good now.Not only can you eat full, but you can also eat well and be healthy.

"Not necessarily." Xue Yang shook his head: "It's OK in most areas, but not necessarily in some remote mountainous areas."

Xue Yang took out his mobile phone, quickly clicked on a few photos, and stepped forward to show them to the three elders.

"Look! This is a group photo of children in the mountains. They are all dark and skinny. Not to mention whether the clothes are good or not, just enough to keep them warm. But they basically bring one or two potatoes for lunch. Basically at home, Eating potatoes for three meals a day is not nutritious enough, and sometimes there is not even a mouthful of hot water. Students in this school have to walk more than 30 miles of mountain roads to go to school. It is not the kind of flat mountain road that can be walked. He has to climb mountains and cross ridges, and he has to go around a cliff on the way. Looking at it - looking at that kind of height is frightening! He can't go home for lunch, so he always brings some dry food to eat at school. If the family is not able to take care of it, When I saw wild fruits on the mountain road, I picked them for lunch. Sometimes I was unlucky and couldn't pick them, so I kept drinking cold water at school."

"Oh..." Xue's mother frowned and sighed: "Poor baby..."

Xue Yang explained: "Schools of this type are very remote. There are only dozens of students in each school, and some are even less. Transportation is inconvenient, and it is difficult for students to get to and from school. It is difficult for students to even eat hot meals."

"It's not a lot, right?" Xue Zhilan asked.

Xue Yang shook his head: "Not many, just a few. One of them has no students and has stopped running since the year before last. I told the person in charge of the foundation that since you want to support others, don't just give them some money. .Our real original intention is rescue.”

"That's right." Father Xue gave a thumbs up: "It's OK to give money, but the method must be right. We are doing good things, but that doesn't mean we can throw money around and waste it."

Xue’s mother reminded: “We have to do something right and really solve the problem and help others. Don’t do that kind of face-saving project, our family doesn’t need it.”

"No, no." Xue Yang quickly explained: "We are most afraid of this. I told them that we have to visit every school to see what is missing and try to solve the most urgent problems. All the people in charge have gone, After coming back, everyone lost a lot of weight. They listed three plans, and I chose the one that took the longest. That is to first allocate funds to several schools to build small canteens, and then hire people to cook. Every time The term allocation covers the purchase of rice and vegetables and the funds are overseen by the school principal to ensure that the children have a hot lunch.”

"That's right." Xue's father nodded with satisfaction: "Only when children have enough food can they have the strength to study and learn knowledge. Whether children in the mountains can get out of the mountains depends on knowledge. The more knowledge you have, the more knowledge you have, and your vision will be different. ." Mother Xue sighed quietly: "I can help some, but I can't help everyone. There are people who are hungry and freezing every day in this world."

"Hey!" Xue's father glared at his wife and explained: "You can help some. Being able to help others is naturally a good thing. But we must also look at the specific strength and ability and not overload. There are so many disasters in the world. There are endless TV news broadcasts every day. There are so many disasters and so many people are suffering. How can we take care of them all? In the end, do what you can and have a clear conscience. Who stipulates that whoever has money must do good deeds? ? Otherwise, it is heinous? We all do it based on our heart, and we only do it according to our ability. Our money is not blown by the strong wind, but also earned through hard work. We can do whatever we can, and we can only do it based on our ability."

Mother Xue thought for a while and felt that her husband was absolutely right.

"That's... that must be the case."

Father Xue looked at his grandson and said lovingly and gently: "Your original intention in setting up this foundation is very good. Remember, do not change your original intention and do it based on your ability. We do not need gratitude from others, and we do not seek to repay others when we help them, we just help as much as we can. Some. If you can do well, then try to do as well as possible. If you don’t do well, don’t feel guilty or angry. When doing good deeds, the most important thing is to have a good attitude."

"Yeah." Xue Yang learned a lot, "Thank you, grandpa, I will remember it."

Xue Zhilan smiled and praised: "You are all good! No matter how well you do, you have a clear conscience."

"Yeah." Xue Yang nodded: "I understand, uncle."

Mother Xue caressed her grandson's big head and asked lovingly: "Are you busy recently? He looks like he has lost weight."

"I lost just...two kilograms." Xue Yang coquettishly snuggled next to her grandmother, "Grandma, you have really bright eyes! My mother couldn't even see it, but you can tell it right away! It's amazing!"

Mother Xue was coaxed into laughing.

Father Xue started to drive people away, saying: "You must have not had a good rest at the hospital last night. Don't chat with us here. We are all idlers. It's okay for us to come and accompany us anytime. You had to catch a flight yesterday , I didn’t sleep last night either, so I’d better go up and sleep for a few hours to catch up on my sleep.”

"Yes." Xue Zhilan agreed: "My eyes are still a little dark, and I haven't had enough rest. My child, go and have a rest."

Xue Yang felt warm in his heart and hugged his grandma, then his grandpa and uncle.

"Okay, I'm going to be lazy now. A few old idlers are waiting for me to restart my phone in the evening, and I'll spend as much time with you as I can!"

The three old men laughed.
