Chapter 291: School Organizes Charity Work (Part 2)

Promoting LeXin was ultimately a short-term livelihood. If there was no money to be made in the future, and his family came from a rural background, could there really be any significant development?

“I’m not ready for a relationship before I graduate from university…”

Li Wenshu changed the subject and chatted for a bit more before the two arrived at Teacher Yu’s office.

“Little Feng, Wenshu, organize a donation from all the classmates this afternoon. Tomorrow, we’ll visit the orphanage and the nursing home in Jingyue District.”

Teacher Yu straightforwardly assigned the new task.

This was a tradition at Jing Province University, something all new students had to do every year.

The purpose was to cultivate the moral education of university students comprehensively.

Zhao Qingfeng was not surprised, having experienced similar activities since childhood.

For instance, helping sanitation workers sweep snow in elementary school, cleaning martyrs’ cemeteries in middle school, and assisting in nursing homes in the county town during middle school. These experiences were indispensable for every student.

But he also felt a bit heartbroken.

Because twenty years later, many things had changed their essence and become mere formalities.

Posing for photos had become the trend, and the sincerity of the past was gone.

Teacher Yu then gave further instructions, “The class donation is not mandatory. Those who are well-off can donate more, and those who are not can donate less or not at all. Anyway, we are going to work, so contributing effort also counts. As for the specifics, I’ll leave it to you, the class leader, and Li, the deputy class leader. By the way, here’s 5000 yuan I personally donated. Take it first to cover the travel expenses for the classmates and to buy some fruits and such.”

The 5000 yuan from Teacher Yu was the salary Zhao Qingfeng had promised him.

Now, Teacher Yu also acted as a ‘headhunter’ in a way, but feeling guilty for not having done anything, he took out the first month’s salary of 5000 yuan.

Zhao Qingfeng signed the receipt and also received the community contact number from Teacher Yu.

Before leaving.

Teacher Yu added, “How well our class does will be graded by the community and compared with other classes. This affects your end-of-term scores and the collective honor, so I ask you to do your best.”

The evaluation was only a comparison within the same department, with the community director grading each class.

Zhao Qingfeng returned to the class to check the remaining class funds.

Currently, there was just under 2000 yuan. Together with the 5000 yuan from Teacher Yu, it should be enough for expenses at the nursing home and orphanage.

“Remember, when visiting the elderly tomorrow, speak warmhearted words.”

“When visiting the children at the orphanage, never mention ‘dad’ or ‘mom’ or similar terms to avoid making the children sad.”

“Okay, Wang Yuan, take the money and buy fruits and such with a few classmates this afternoon.”

“Li Wenshu, you and Li Xiang go buy some winter clothes for the elderly and the children.”

After giving these instructions, Zhao Qingfeng went to find Shen Lingyao.

Shen Lingyao’s class was also holding an event, coincidentally at the same nursing home and orphanage.

As soon as they met, her eyes were red, “Brother Qingfeng, the photos the teacher showed us were so pitiful, so I want to donate a little more money. Do you support me…”

Support was there, but it wasn’t very useful.

One or two donations couldn’t solve the root problem, not to mention that across the province and even the whole country, many orphaned children and elderly needed care.

“I actually have another idea…”

Zhao Qingfeng had a moment of inspiration and smirked, “Yaoyao, want to hear this plan? If it’s realized, it could help all the orphaned children and elderly in the world. But you know the condition, you have to give me a few fierce kisses and let me hold you tight.”
