Chapter 043 Name: Red Scarf Volunteer Team
On the day the children reported for school.
As expected, the rain had no tendency to decrease at all, accompanied by biting ground wind, causing the temperature to drop sharply.
At seven o'clock in the morning, Mo Tong drove the van brought back from his home by Wu Shen, and had already picked up all the children who had registered for Murakami's school start today.
Ye Qiu and Nan Qingyu stayed at home to do other things, so today only Wu Shen accompanied Mo Tong to pick up and drop off the children.
After sending the children to school, they accompanied them to sign up and get the things, Mo Tong and Wu Shen sent the children home one by one, because tomorrow is the day when school officially starts.
The children all like Mo Tong and Wu Shen very much, so they have always been very well-behaved.
So far, everything has been very smooth.
...
Old Mo family.
"Boss, you're back!" Seeing Mo Tong come back, Ye Qiu hurriedly met him, and did not forget to cover Mo Tong's hand.
"Ye Qiu, you are just ignoring me..." Wu Shen was helpless, "Oh, sad."
"Go to you, don't be there to be cute and sympathetic. I won't eat this, hum." Ye Qiu glared at Wu Shen, but when he looked at Mo Tong, he instantly turned into a fanatic girl. "Boss, today Grandma Gu taught me a dish. I'll make it for you to eat the most."
"Thank you." Mo Tong smiled.
The two of them just entered the house while talking and laughing.
Poor Wu Shen followed silently. The wind mixed with rain slapped on his face, which looked very much like Wu Shen's mood at this moment: weak and helpless, like a little pitiful.
Outside the house, it was windy and rainy and extremely cold.
Inside the house, it was as warm as spring.
As for Gu Ping, she would look outside from time to time, and sometimes a trace of worry appeared on her face.
"Old Mo, you said that if we were the simple tile houses in the past, we might not have been able to do so long ago." Gu Ping couldn't help but say to Mo Feng, "Now most people in the Murakami still live in such a house, I don't know if it's okay."
"You, you always worry about others. I think Tongtong's kindness will follow you." Mo Feng smiled, "The wind and rain in winter are nothing, not as good as summer. At most, it's just a little rain, so don't worry."
"That's right."
"Also, the weather forecast says tomorrow will be sunny. If you endure today, it will be fine. Don't think too much."
"……Um."
"It's just that Tongtong and a few children will be busy tomorrow." Mo Feng deliberately found a topic to divert his wife's attention.
"What do you mean?" Gu Ping asked curiously.
"Don't those children go out to pick up garbage every day? Seeing the wind blowing and so much rainfall, tomorrow it's not the same as the village full of garbage blowing by the wind, let alone those dirt roads, which are even harder to walk."
"Then we'll go and help the kids tomorrow."
"Don't, I wish the children would give up now and go back to school obediently."
"You said that, but don't you still silently support the children? Take the place at home that specializes in activities for the elderly. They are all places you can make for the children." Gu Ping smiled and said, "I think you have already supported Tongtong's children to stay in the village, but they are just stubborn and can't speak."
"Absolutely not. I made room for the children. I simply felt that the children's proposal was good, and I also felt that they really wanted to do something for the elderly in the village. And we just had to make some room." Mo Feng "defended" himself, "But one code is the same, I still don't want Tongtong and the other children to stay in the village. I still want them to go back to school."
"Even Chen Xing is increasingly appreciating the children, and he lets them do things. With the efforts of the children, more and more people like them. Old man, I'm afraid that you will fight alone by yourself, can you be able to beat other people's large troops?"
"You will know then."
"You..."
...
On the day when the children officially started school, the sky cleared.
But for Mo Tong and his friends, today was the busiest day in history since staying in the village.
Just like what Mo Feng and Gu Ping said yesterday, this strong storm not only scattered garbage everywhere, but also many families' houses began to leak.
Those who were unable to climb high and low at home had to come to the village committee to find the old branch secretary Chen Xing to help.
At this time, there were several elderly people and two or three women sitting in Chen Xing's office.
"Old branch secretary, look, there is no man at home, and he can't even help the house leaking. He can only come to ask you for help, alas!" one of the women sighed.
"Isn't that? Every time I have something to do, I can only come to Chen Xing. I don't know how much trouble it has caused to others." An old man couldn't help but say, "The children went out to work and didn't make much money and couldn't afford to build a house at all. If the old house in the family was so troubled, they would almost no one living there. I was afraid that one day the house would collapse and smash me to death."
After hearing these words, even though Chen Xing felt uncomfortable, he had no choice. After all, there was only limited things he could do.
"Don't worry, everyone, I'll go and have a look later." Chen Xing could only smile and comfort everyone.
After that, everyone went home first.
When Chen Xing finished his work and was about to leave, Mo Tong and the other four came.
"Grandpa Chen, what are you going to do?" Mo Tong asked.
"Now, there are several families whose houses are leaking. I'll go over and see the situation." Chen Xing said, "Most of these families have only elderly people at home, and some of them have their wives and children who stay at home, so some things can't be done at all."
"Then let's go with you."
"Okay, let's come together."
As he said that, a few people left the village committee.
In the following time, Chen Xing checked the situation of these houses and needed to do some physical work, which was done by Nan Qingyu and Wu Shen, and almost no Shen was allowed to move.
"Grandpa Chen, go back and do your business. Just leave the rest to us." Mo Tong said to Chen Xing with a smile.
Although it is appropriate for the villagers to ask the old branch secretary for help if they have something to do, considering that Chen Xing is older and doing things like building a house that require climbing up and down is also dangerous, Mo Tong then advised Chen Xing to go back.
Ye Qiu also smiled and said, "Yes, Grandpa Chen, with Nan Qingyu and Wu Shen here, I promise to repair everyone's house."
Nan Qingyu: "Grandpa Chen, don't worry."
Wu Shen: "Grandpa Chen, leave it to us. This is simple. Basically, it is just to change the roof to tiles and repair some places with cement. I am good at it."
Looking at these energetic children, Chen Xing felt warm in his heart, "Okay, then I'll leave it to you. But be careful of safety, don't show off, remember."
"I know."
After Chen Xing left, Ye Qiu stared at Wu Shen with a suspicion, "Wu Shen, I have never heard of you being good at changing tiles on the roof? Then again, have you really done this kind of thing?"
"Hehe, I've never been before." Wu Shen grabbed his head and smiled, "But this is really not a problem for me, I'll know it at first sight. And there's Nan Qingyu here, we can't handle it together?"
"But I really didn't expect that one day I would climb up to the roof and replace the tiles to repair the house for others." Nan Qingyu couldn't help but smile, "After coming to Changxiao Village, I really had many firsts in my life."
"Isn't that? And this is just the beginning. There will be more firsts waiting for us later." Mo Tong said with a smile, "Then let's start."
In this way, in the next time, the four of the Golden Team repaired the house for everyone. In their spare time, they would clean the elderly’s home, help them dry the bedding, and feed the chickens and ducks.
This incident gave Mo Tong and the other four opportunities to get closer to more elderly people.
When people are in trouble, there are still people who are willing to help you, and don’t dislike you, and who will always do their best. Anyone will be moved if they are.
So after experiencing this incident, there were a few more elderly people in the elderly activity venues for the Mo family. Since they saw the kindness of Mo Tong and his children with their own eyes, they were willing to take that step with the children.
...
Mo Tong and the other four were busy until the afternoon, and the children had already returned from school.
Because Mo Tong and Wu Shen drove the children to school yesterday, the children all met this beautiful sister Mo Tong and the tall and handsome brother Wu Shen.
So when the children saw Mo Tong and Wu Shen on the roof at other people's houses, they all walked forward curiously.
"Sister Mo Tong, what are you doing in other people's houses?" The boy named Liangliang couldn't help but ask Mo Tong.
"It's Liangliang, you're off school." Mo Tong stopped what he was doing and looked at the children, "This old man's house is leaking. Let's come and change the tiles and repair them. By the way, Sister Ye Qiu and I will clean the old man's house again."
"Why are you doing these things? Can't you do them yourself?" the child continued to ask in a naive tone.
"Because the old man is old, climbing high and low will be very dangerous, and his hands and feet are not very easy. At this time, we young people are needed to help the old man." Mo Tong said patiently.
"I understand. The Chinese teacher said that we should make our children respect the elderly, love the elderly, help the elderly, care for the elderly, and make the elderly happy, right?"
"That's it, Liangliang is so smart." Mo Tong gently touched the child's little head, very happy.
"Sister Mo Tong, can we do it with you too? We will do housework and clean it!"
"Are you really willing to do it?" Ye Qiu spoke.
"Sister Ye Qiu, do you think we will dislike the elderly?" said the girl named Yuanyuan sweetly, "We are all Young Pioneers of the school. We will help teachers do a lot of things at school. We are not afraid of hardship or fatigue. And with you brothers and sisters taking us, we will be happier."
"Boss, are children nowadays so good at speaking? It's just a hit on my heart!" Ye Qiu was so happy.
"Actually, we often see brothers and sisters picking up garbage in the village, but we are embarrassed to come forward and talk to you, because we hadn't said a word at that time, so we had to secretly look at you, hehe~" Yuanyuan was a little shy.
"Brothers and sisters are all college students, right? They are all very powerful. We actually admire you very much!" There seemed to be stars in Liangliang's eyes! "The adults said that brothers and sisters stayed to make the village better, so let us join your team, because we are all children in the village, and we also want to contribute!"
"Liangliang is indeed a man." Wu Shen on the roof gave the children a thumbs up with his hands stained with mud, "Boss, the children have this kind of heart, we must support them!"
"That's right. Children are the flowers of the motherland. The little flowers are powerful, respect and love the elderly, and start from the doll. Well, I agree." As he said that, Mo Tong extended his hand to Liangliang, "Children, welcome to join our volunteer team."
"Thank you, Sister Mo Tong, we will definitely not disappoint our brothers and sisters!" Liangliang held Mo Tong's hand that reached out to him, his voice full of power.
"I believe you."
From then on, as long as time permits, there will always be a group of small figures behind Mo Tong and the other two. They imitate their brothers and sisters, and want to use their small hands to create joy for the village and their hometown. Even if there is only a little bit, they will be very happy and satisfied.
In this way, the four members of the Golden Team not only gained a group of small fans, but also struck while the iron was hot to form a volunteer team mainly composed of children, named: Red Scarf Volunteer Team.
