Chapter 371: The miserable child, watching a movie
Since the hangover, the relationship between Zhou Chen and Gu Jia has obviously undergone tremendous changes.
Gu Jia is no longer like before, always rejecting Zhou Chen for various reasons, and her attitude has also changed. When faced with Zhou Chen's sometimes obvious hints, she no longer pretends not to hear as she did in the past, and even
Being able to joke with Zhou Chen very easily.
This change in Gu Jia's attitude made Zhou Chen very happy, which showed that his offensive was effective.
Gu Jia may not have recovered from the divorce and betrayal, but now she no longer rejects him. She is not as friendly as before, but is wary of resistance in her heart.
After talking to Zhong Xiaoqin, Gu Jia, although she still had worries in her heart, was much more cheerful. She was not going to avoid Zhou Chen like in the past, nor was she going to stay away deliberately, but was going to let it develop naturally.
"The situation of these three families is very special. Chen Yu has investigated it clearly. It is more serious than what they reported. I think I can provide some help, but you still need to make your own decision."
Gu Jia placed the three files in front of Zhou Chen. Zhou Chen picked them up and started reading them. After just a moment, he frowned after looking at the first file.
"so serious?"
Gu Jia nodded and said seriously: "Yes, Zhang Mingyang's situation is true. I have a big impression on this child. He is indeed a poor child."
Although he knew that there were many poor people in this world, Zhou Chen was still very shocked when he saw Zhang Mingyang's condition.
Zhang Mingyang was not a child with a congenital disease, but an acquired cause that led to his paralysis, all due to a car accident.
This family was also very unfortunate. On Zhang Mingyang's second birthday, the family of three went to pick up his grandparents from his hometown, but they encountered a car accident on the way back.
In a very tragic car accident, four old people died on the spot. The father did not die at the time, but when he was sent to the hospital for treatment, the rescue failed and died.
Only the mother and Zhang Mingyang survived in the family. Although the mother was injured in various parts of her body, she was lucky enough to save her life.
Although Zhang Mingyang survived, he was very unfortunate. He was seriously injured and became paralyzed, unable to move his body from the waist down.
A two-year-old child, five of his closest relatives disappeared in one day, his mother was also seriously injured, and she herself became paralyzed. This is such a tragic thing.
But do you think this is the worst?
No, this is not the worst.
They originally received millions in compensation and insurance due to the car accident, but because Zhang Mingyang's mother was seriously injured and could not move freely in the short term, let alone take care of Zhang Mingyang, they troubled Zhang Mingyang's uncle to take care of her.
Uncle Zhang Mingyang is a good person and has taken on the responsibility of taking care of his sister and nephew.
But the good times didn't last long. For some reason, his uncle got into gambling. Not only did he lose his savings and house, but he also lost all the compensation money Zhang Mingyang and his family paid, and he still owed a fortune.
debt.
Uncle Zhang Mingyang, knowing that he could not repay his mistake, jumped from the roof of the building in order not to drag down his sister and nephew.
In the end, only the mother and son were left alone. For a long time, they had to rely on donations from others. As for medical treatment, they no longer had that condition.
Because Zhang Mingyang's mother was seriously injured, although she can still walk, she can no longer do physical work and can only do light work. However, because she has to take care of her young and paralyzed son, she cannot do most of the work.
Fortunately, Zhang Mingyang’s mother, Hu Jingqiu, used to be an English teacher and her English skills were good, so she could find some translation work online.
But because her physical strength is limited and she has to take care of her paralyzed son, she doesn't have enough energy at all. The amount of living expenses she can earn every day is considered good.
The only consolation is that although there is no money, the family still has a house left, which will prevent the mother and son from living on the street.
It's just that Hu Jingqiu was unwilling to let her son remain paralyzed. She tried every means to rehabilitate her son, but without money, she couldn't do anything.
It went on like this on and off for nearly three years. Whenever she had some spare money, Hu Jingqiu would take her son to the hospital for recovery.
Unfortunately, three years later, Zhang Mingyang's condition has not been relieved. Until a few months ago, she saw that Chenxing Rehabilitation Institution was recruiting students. Without any hesitation, she brought her son Zhang Mingyang to sign up.
Originally, Hu Jingqiu just wanted to give it a try. Over the past few years, she has seen too many human relationships. There are good people, but there are really too few.
But Chenxing did not disappoint her, he really accepted her son, and he really didn't take a penny.
A few months passed in the blink of an eye. During these few months, Hu Jingqiu found that her son Zhang Mingyang was much more cheerful than before.
Here, unlike other places, their mother and son do not need to bear the strange looks of others, because the children who come here are all children with some problems, and no one will laugh at anyone.
Moreover, there are several students in this school who cannot walk, some due to accidents and some due to brain problems, so here, Zhang Mingyang no longer lacks playmates.
After listening to Gu Jia's narration, Zhou Chen let out a heavy sigh.
Although he has long known that there are many children in miserable situations in this world, Zhang Mingyang's situation is really very, very miserable.
If you don't have those relatives, or if you are paralyzed from birth, then that's it.
But Zhang Mingyang had all these things. He could run and jump when he was a child. He was a normal child. When such a big change happened all of a sudden, he was naturally severely traumatized mentally.
After reading Zhang Mingyang's information, Zhou Chen felt very heavy, but he did not speak immediately, but continued to look at the information of the other two people.
Compared to Zhang Mingyang, the other two children were slightly more miserable, but that was only in relative terms. In fact, they were also very unfortunate.
A little boy named Chen Xi and a little girl named Yan Lin.
Chen Xi's parents have long been divorced. Because of congenital cerebral palsy, his father did not want to suffer and divorced his mother. Now he is raised by her mother alone.
Compared with Zhang Mingyang's mother Hu Jingqiu, although Chen Xi does not have a father, she has a normal mother, but she comes from a rural area and is really too poor. She even picks up other people's clothes and has almost no new clothes.
Yan Lin is a very cute and beautiful little girl. She is really beautiful. Zhou Chen can tell just by looking at the photos on the profile that she is a pretty little elf.
Even if Zhou Chen lived in several worlds and lived for more than a hundred years, he would rarely see such a beautiful little girl.
But such a handsome little elf suffers from a serious congenital disease, similar to autism, with no language, no eye contact, and no imitation...
"Yan Lin is also a very poor child. I heard that her parents are no longer alive. It seems that her father died of illness. Her mother couldn't accept it, so she followed her soon after. Now she is with her grandpa and grandma; her family situation is better than that of Zhang Mingyang.
She is better with Chen Xi, but she can’t do anything. She is like a little puppet all day long, but fortunately her grandparents love her very much and dress her up every day, which is really lovable."
"Teachers often joke that Linlin is an elf living in the second dimension. Although her body is in this world, her consciousness is in another world. She is really like a little angel, carefree.
, innocent and cute.”
"well."
Zhou Chen sighed. There are too many unfortunate people in this world, but many of them are caused by themselves. But for such a young child to have to suffer from such an early age is really heartbreaking and uncomfortable.
"what are you thinking?"
Gu Jiadao: "My personal idea is that I can help. Zhang Mingyang and Chen Xi can give them financial and material help. We can provide them with accommodation, free meals in the canteen, etc. As for Yan Lin, I think she should be given more training.
We will take classes to improve her abilities. We don’t expect her to become an adult, but at least she can take care of herself.”
"Your starting point is good, and I agree with it, but now there is a problem."
Zhou Chen first agreed with Gu Jia's suggestion, and then asked a question: "We are doing charity here, and we should treat them equally. If we give special care to the three of them, some parents will understand, but some parents will definitely take it seriously."
Make a fuss and say we treat them differently."
Gu Jia frowned and said, "This is indeed a problem, but when you do charity, don't you just want those families in need to get better help?"
"That's what I said, but like I said, sometimes you can't help yourself when doing charity."
Of course Zhou Chen wants to help these three children, but he must think of a good way, otherwise even if they forcefully help, these three children and their parents may be ostracized by other parents.
Gu Jiadao: "I have an idea. We can hold an anonymous vote and let other parents in the school vote. If the number reaches a certain number, they will be given special help. If the number is not reached, then we can just forget it. What do you think?
"
"You can try it."
This is a good idea, Zhou Chen nodded in agreement.
"Now that you have thought of a method, give it a try. If it doesn't work, we will find another way, such as donating money through other channels."
"okay, I get it."
After talking about official matters, Zhou Chen started his offensive again.
"Gu Jia, are you free tonight?"
"What, you want to invite me to dinner again? I won't be fooled by you."
Seeing that Gu Jia was joking with him, Zhou Chen smiled slightly and felt much more relaxed.
"It's just a way to eat. How long has it been since you went to the cinema to watch a movie? A domestic blockbuster was recently released. I want to invite you to watch it."
"See a movie?"
Gu Jia looked nostalgic. She had indeed not been to a movie theater for a long time. After having a child, she and Xu Huanshan spent less time together. Xu Huanshan was the kind of person who didn't like going to the movies very much.
So she hasn't gone to the cinema to watch a movie for a long time, and usually just watches it at home.
"That's right. Let's go to the movies first. After the movie, we can go to dinner together. We won't drink this time. How about that?"
Gu Jia showed hesitation. The meaning of Zhou Chen's invitation this time was completely different from the last time. Watching a movie and having dinner this time was just like a date.
Thinking of her previous discussion with Zhong Xiaoqin, she asked: "You really don't want to drink anymore?"
She was not afraid of what Zhou Chen would do to her when she was drunk. Since Zhou Chen didn't treat him lightly last time, he probably wouldn't do it again in the future.
She was just afraid that she would lose her temper again when she was drunk, which would be too embarrassing.
"If you say you don't want to drink, you won't drink."
"Oh well."
Zhou Chen was overjoyed: "Then it's settled, I'll book the tickets now."
With that said, he took out his mobile phone and started looking at movie tickets.
"How about the show at six o'clock? It's a two-hour movie, and I'm going to have dinner after watching it."
"Well, I have to rush back before ten o'clock. Ziyan is still waiting for me to tell her a bedtime story."
"Okay, no problem, we still have plenty of time."
After discussing it, the two started their respective jobs. When it was time to get off work, Zhou Chen did not ask the driver to pick him up, but took Gu Jia's car directly to the cinema.
A two-hour movie, Zhou Chen watched it very seriously, but in the process, his big hand inadvertently grabbed Gu Jia's small hand. Although it was broken free, he took back his hand without embarrassment, looking serious
of watching movies again.
Zhou Chen's movements and expressions actually made Gu Jia laugh. Zhou Chen's serious way of taking advantage really made her amused.
"Domestic movies are really getting better and better now, and this blockbuster is really good."
After walking out of the cinema, Zhou Chen was still thinking about the military war movie he had just watched. He had never seen this movie about a parallel world. After watching it, he felt very good.
Although Gu Jia was not too interested in this action movie, he still watched it from beginning to end.
"Well, this shows that our country's film industry is making progress."
Zhou Chen said: "The film industry is a good and booming industry, but it's a pity that I don't have much energy, otherwise I could open a film company."
He has been in the entertainment industry, written songs, and made movies, so he is very aware of the speed of making money in the entertainment industry. However, he is not short of money now, and this industry is very troublesome, so he does not want to touch it.
"Do you still have research on the film industry?" Gu Jia asked in surprise.
Zhou Chen smiled and said: "I have studied all the profitable industries, but my energy is limited, so I only do the business I am good at."
Gu Jia: "I think you are very energetic."
"You mean I've been around you all day long?" Zhou Chen asked with a smile.
Gu Jia rolled her eyes. She found that Zhou Chen was really getting more and more aggressive. As long as she showed a little indulgence, Zhou Chen would immediately climb up the pole.
Seeing that Gu Jia didn't respond, Zhou Chen chuckled: "Let's go, let's go eat."
Gu Jia drove to a restaurant. This was just an ordinary Chinese restaurant. Gu Jia chose it because Gu Jia said that Zhou Chen chose the restaurant last time. This time it was her choice and the treat.
.
Zhou Chen would naturally not have any objections to this.
