In the private room of the Yang family banquet in Hangzhou, Yang Dongxu and his brother were sitting around the table. In addition to the three of them, there were Yu Yi, Hua Zai, and Li Ming, one of the four heavenly kings. Besides him, Li Jiaxin was sitting next to him.
Brother Leslie Cheung has spent less and less time on the screen in recent years, and rarely accepts movies and records anymore. And since withdrawing from various award ceremonies, I have basically turned down even the invitations as guests, focusing on being my own support teacher in the mountain village.
Compared with the handsomeness and aristocratic temperament on the screen, the elder brother is now more sales-y, and his face is no longer as bright as on the screen, leaving traces of time.
But the spirit is very good, especially that pair of eyes, although they still feel melancholy, they are no longer lifeless and lonely, but the sunshine of hope.
Some people say that the eminent monk may have an aura of peace with him, and people who are irritable will naturally calm down when they walk into the eminent monk. Yang Dongxu had never felt the peaceful aura of the eminent monk, but he didn't know what happened to his brother because he had been with a simple child for a long time, or because he had completely let go of the depression in his heart.
When you sit next to him and talk to him, you feel indescribably relaxed. He is like a good listener and the pastor when you go to church to pray, filling you with a beautiful yearning for the world.
"Thank you so much for this. If it weren't for you, I might not be here now." Sister Mei raised the wine glass in her hand.
This time, my brother and Sister Mei came to Hangzhou to treat Yang Dongxu to dinner. At the beginning of the year, after Sun Banxian's diagnosis and a check-up at the hospital, Sister Mei's illness was finally cured.
I think she really gave up hope of living at the beginning, and just wanted to have a brighter life in the last moment of her life. I never thought that when I was in despair, I would be reborn again.
The brother next to her also looked grateful. When Sister Mei was sick, she hid her illness and told no one. I want to say goodbye to this world in my own way. If it weren't for Yang Dongxu, it might really be a farewell forever.
"There's no need to be so grand. It should be. You look more lively when you do it like this." Yang Dongxu quickly stood up and held the wine glass with both hands.
"It's not life or death. You can say you gave me a second life. I can't thank you enough. My brother and I discussed it and decided to donate 50 more primary schools in mountainous areas this year.
Although I followed the teaching team around before, I only saw the backward side of the rural mountainous areas. After living in the village for so long, I found that the people in the village are really good, and poverty should not be a constraint for their next generation. Bond, this is too unfair to them who are kind-hearted. "Sister Mei said with some emotion.
It's hard to understand what a real rural person is if you haven't lived in a village. Just listen to other people's words. Some people may tell you that rural people are simple and honest, while others may tell you that poor mountains and rivers breed unruly people.
But when you actually live in the village, you will find that the rural people are not as simple as you think, nor are they as evil as you think.
Maybe they are a bit cheap because they are poor, but they will never be stingy when things happen. It is not uncommon for the whole village to pay for one person to go to college. Maybe they don't have much advanced knowledge, but they work really hard.
They are willing to use their own hands to build a better life, so knowledge has restricted their generation and should not continue to restrict the next generation.
Because children in rural areas are really in trouble, wading in muddy water when it rains, braving the severe cold in winter, many students' feet and hands are swollen from frostbite, and there are no fans at all in the dark and dark teachers in summer.
In addition to children, there are also teachers who insist on living in the mountains without asking for anything in return. They are willing to dedicate their lives just so that the children they teach can get out of the mountains, get rid of the shackles that have been bound to them for generations, and have more choices in their future lives. So they deserve a spacious and bright classroom, and they deserve a classroom like this.
"I'll donate ten." Hua Zai said.
"I will also donate ten." Li Ming followed.
"I......"
"Okay." Yang Dongxu interrupted Li Jiaxin: "Today is to celebrate Sister Mei's recovery, not a charity dinner. Everyone has already donated to the Runyu Fund every year, so there is no need to promise anything here.
If you have the time and energy to do things like charity, keep doing it. If you are too busy, just think of it and help out occasionally. Charity helps others, and you can also feel happy at the same time. You shouldn’t feel like you’re carrying a burden just to do charity. "
"Xu Zi is right. My brother and I made our own decision to donate to the school. You don't have to do this. If you really want to donate, everyone can go to the mountains to see it sometime, or do it for a few days occasionally. Support teachers. Just find a peaceful harbor for yourself. Only such charity is meaningful." Sister Mei also said.
She wants to donate to the school because she has watched a lot after experiencing life and death, and she no longer takes money so seriously. The reason why my brother wanted to donate to the school was because he had already looked away from it. Compared to the hustle and bustle of the city, he found a haven of inner peace in the countryside by teaching.
Andy and others also do charity and donate a lot of money every year, and they sincerely want to help people. But there is no need to promise anything on such an occasion. When my brother organized some charity performances to raise funds before, this was the rule of thumb.
If you really want to do charity, do it happily and find happiness from charity, or you can even do it just to pray for your own virtue.
Instead of treating the charity dinner as a vanity fair and just coming here to catch the news, or you feel so painful when donating money that it feels like charity. If so, you might as well not come, lest you disgust everyone. Very happy mood.
"The second batch of the schools you donated before is almost completed. How about this, when school starts this summer, I will take you to the schools you donated to see the schools and the children.
The living conditions in the mountains may be a little worse, but it's really fun to stay with the children, and it's like giving you a break from your compact life. "Yu Yi said, relaxing the awkward atmosphere.
Yang Dongxu didn't want this good dinner to turn into a bundle of charity, but Sister Mei's words were very direct and seemed a bit stiff. So Yu Yi came out to talk about the integration at this time.
Hua Zai and others feel that Yang Dongxu or Sister Mei are doing charity for a show, although people who know the personalities of these two people will not think so.
What Yang Dongxu means is that you should be happy doing charity and don’t add burdens to yourself. Sister Mei said that charity should be done carefully and the starting point is good. People who know them can understand, but it will be bad if people who don’t understand them misunderstand them. After all, Originally, Sister Mei was very happy to have recovered, so don't ruin the atmosphere because of a little misunderstanding.
"Let's all eat food. We're all friends, so there's no need to be so polite." My brother opened his mouth to wrap up the matter, so as not to go too far.
After he finished speaking, he looked at Yang Dongxu: "As for the matter you mentioned before about taking care of Runyu Fund, I have considered being a supervisor. If I am responsible for too many tasks, I may not be able to do it."
"Other people must be responsible for the specific work, and you can be a supervisor. Otherwise, you can be responsible for supervising and supporting teaching work.
I decided to hand over the supporting education office completely to the Education Bureau, but in order to avoid unnecessary disputes in the future, I planned to set up a supervisory committee, mainly responsible for supervising the flow and use of donations.
As for the members, they are chosen from those of us who are willing to do charity or make donations. After all, people donate money to do good things, and they have the right to know where the money they donated goes to. Yang Dongxu said.
"That's okay." My brother nodded: "If the supporting education office is handed over to the Education Bureau, will Yu Yi still be responsible for this work? Is she planning to join the system in the future?"
"This mainly depends on her own choice. The education department highly praises her work in charge of the teaching support office. If she takes the institutional route, she will definitely be reused.
If you don't like being in the system and don't feel free, you can do something else. I have many companies under my control, so she can choose any position she likes. In fact, I am more inclined for her to choose the latter. It is a pity that such a talent leaves like this. "
"Emotionally, do you want me to work for you for the rest of my life?" Yu Yi glared at Yang Dongxu angrily.
"What's wrong with working? Have you ever heard of the working emperor? It's not like I don't pay you." Yang Dongxu retorted half-jokingly.
"The people who came to the boss were all Zhou Papi, and they were trying to exploit the employees one by one. Yu Yi simply did it under his hands and came to help me. I dare not say that I will make you rich in the future, but at least you will have enough food and drink, and you will be free. There is no need to watch someone put on airs." Sister Mei took Yu Yi's arm from the side, showing a deep sisterly affection.
This is not a performance. Seriously, the relationship between Yu Yi, sister Mei and her brother is really good. The relationship between Yang Dongxu, his brother and Sister Mei was because they were all in the same circle when developing Haina in Hong Kong, so they got to know each other and later became friends.
Later, the relationship deepened due to some things. This time, the relationship got closer because of Sister Mei's illness. But in fact, the time he spent with Sister Mei and his brother together was not as long as Yu Yizhi.
After all, both brother and sister Mei have been strongly supporting the teaching in recent years, and Yu Yi is the person in charge of supporting the teaching. Coupled with Yu Yi's work attitude and character, brother and sister Mei have also noticed it over the past few years, and the two parties have naturally become good friends.
So Sister Mei asking Yu Yi to help her was not just a joke. Sister Mei would be really happy if Yu Yi agreed. Because in this way, she will leave many things to you and leave them to Yu Yi. This is a best friend you can trust.
"What? Just now you were thanking me for saving my life, and now you are poaching me. Sister Mei, is this repaying kindness with enmity?"
"What's wrong with repaying kindness with hatred? Besides, it was Mr. Sun who saved my life, not you. You said before that you were just an introducer, so you don't need to thank me too much. How about I give you some agency fees?" Sister Mei said with a smile.
"Okay! How much is it? If I pay you less, I'd be sorry for your worth. You're still a big star after all. This is the introduction fee for your life-saving grace."
"It means you're fat. Are you still out of breath?" Sister Mei reached out and slapped Yang Dongxu, and the atmosphere on the table became more lively.
