As Lin Mai expected, what Huaxia is most in need of is passionate young people.
The hotline for recruiting volunteers at Fuduoduo Food Market was busy before seven o'clock.
These passionate young people bought newspapers early in the morning and saw Lin Mai's recruitment notice for volunteers published in the Beijing Evening News yesterday. They immediately called excitedly.
At the same time, another hotline at Fuduoduo Food Market that wanted to receive free subsidies and free door-to-door delivery was also flooded with calls.
The volunteers are almost all college students who have not returned to their hometowns during the winter vacation and are stranded in school.
There are college students, as well as master's and doctoral students, and only a few high school students and young people.
It’s not that high school students and young people in society don’t have passionate hearts.
But people in this era simply don’t understand what volunteers are.
College students, some social youths, and high school students are exposed to more new things than the average person, so they only call to sign up if they know what a volunteer is.
Lin Mai's requirements for volunteers are a bit high, they must be in good health, able to endure hardships, have primary school education, and be patient.
As long as the above conditions are met, we will welcome everyone.
As a result, she refused to refuse anyone who came, and more than 500 people came at around nine o'clock that morning. Lin Mai was frightened and he immediately stopped recruiting volunteers.
Lin Mai made arrangements for the volunteers.
Select a group of volunteers to conduct on-the-spot surveys of the extremely poor households who have signed up to receive free subsidies.
Other volunteers act as couriers, delivering free door-to-door deliveries to special groups who are inconvenient to purchase goods at Fuduoduo.
After all, they are college students with high quality. Once Lin Mai explained it, they knew what to do and they all took action in an orderly manner.
Although volunteers do not have to pay wages to them, Linmai still has to provide working meals.
She asked the volunteers to have lunch at the Hao Lai Lai restaurant opposite the Fuduoduo Market.
Lin Mai had been busy early in the morning. Although Su Yuying was still lying in bed, she was so preoccupied that she couldn't sleep at all.
But she had to pretend to be asleep because she didn't want to divorce Chang Jiawei.
But Chang Jiawei woke her up so hard that she couldn't even pretend to be asleep.
Su Yuying saw Chang Jiawei's face as dark as the bottom of a pot and thought he was angry because she was pretending to sleep.
She hurriedly sat up from the bed and asked pretending to be confused: "Who made you unhappy so early in the morning?"
Chang Jiawei threw the newspaper in his hand at her face: "You said last night that as long as you donate all the money you make from the market, you will be fine.
Before you take action, Fuduoduo Food Market is distributing free subsidies to 3,000 extremely poor households.
We are recruiting volunteers again to provide free door-to-door delivery to special groups who are inconvenient to shop at Fuduoduo Market.
You said that as a market owner who is driving up prices, it still makes sense to donate money after other people's good deeds. Is it still useful?
Get up quickly, get dressed, and we'll go to the Civil Affairs Bureau for a divorce right away.
Otherwise, it will be too late, and I'm afraid that our Chang family and I will be implicated by you."
Su Yuying froze on the bed like a bolt from the blue.
When she came to her senses, she burst into tears and begged hard not to get a divorce.
But Chang Jiawei had already made up his mind. Even if Su Yuying cried till she cried, he would remain unmoved and wanted to divorce her.
Su Yuying saw that it was useless to pretend to be pitiful, so she stopped crying, but she was determined not to divorce.
With a livid face, Chang Jiawei packed up his clothes and left without any regrets, leaving only Su Yuying sitting on the bed and crying loudly.
Soon it was noon, and the volunteers who had been running around all morning returned one after another to go to Hazailai Restaurant for dinner.
Because these volunteer college students are equally divided between southerners and northerners.
So Lin Mai asked the owner of Hao Zai Lai Restaurant to prepare rice and steamed buns.
The only dishes are Chinese cabbage, boiled tofu and pickled vegetables with bone and radish soup.
Lin Mai apologized to all volunteers. In difficult times, she could only provide such meals.
The volunteers said that the food was already very good.
They didn't say this to comfort Lin Mai.
Some of them come from remote and poor rural areas, and the food at home is not as good as the working meals provided by Linmai.
But more volunteers came today because they visited the homes of extremely poor households and delivered door-to-door deliveries to the disabled and lonely elderly people.
I saw that living with them in the bustling capital, there were actually such a difficult group of people.
In the era of reform and opening up for several years, we still eat cereals, but the problem is that we can't get enough of them.
Then what can they, the volunteers, have to say about white rice and white steamed buns?
When Lin Mai was about to leave, he met two people.
These two people were none other than roommate Tian Fen and classmate Wang Minghua.
The two people joked in surprise: "It's such an honor to meet Mr. Lin while having a meal!"
Lin Mai was a little surprised: "You also come to be volunteers? Don't you want to work to make money?"
She said it so bluntly because she knew Tian Fen and Wang Minghua would not be angry.
Not everyone is like Xu Qingya, who is sensitive, neurotic, and has a bad mind.
It's a one-of-a-kind masterpiece.
The two girls pretended to be angry: "It sounds like we have fallen into the eyes of money. We only know how to make money and don't know how to give back to society.
As long as you can do good things, we are not qualified."
"We are all ordinary heroes." Lin Mai changed the subject, "Can you still stand it while working as a bag maker?"
The two people shook their heads and said honestly: "I really can't stand it, the labor intensity is too great!
No wonder the wages and bonuses of waiters who serve delicious food are so high!
If it weren’t for the high wages and bonuses, we wouldn’t have been able to hold on long ago.”
Lin Mai smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work. I have other things to do, so I'll leave first."
What she has to do now is go home and have dinner.
In her eyes, cooking is a big deal.
Unless the work is numerous and urgent and must be dealt with immediately, she will delay dinner.
After all, making money is more important than having lunch.
It was still very windy and snowy, and the road was still very slippery.
There is a significant difference between the snow in the north and the snow in the south.
The snow in the south will melt when it falls on your body and your clothes will get wet, so you should wear a raincoat or use an umbrella when it snows.
But when snow falls on you in the north, it will take at least ten minutes to melt. You don’t need to hold an umbrella or wear a raincoat for short distances.
Lin Mai put on the hat on his down jacket, wrapped a scarf around his neck, and walked towards home step by step.
I almost collided with a lesbian riding a bicycle on the road, and both of them were very frightened.
The lesbian apologized to her several times.
Lin Mai smiled and waved his hand: "It's okay, we didn't hit him again."
But the lesbian was still apologizing.
Lin Mai no longer wanted to pay attention to her and left directly.
The lesbian looked at the large sycamore trees in front of Lin Mai for a long time.
I thought to myself, not sure if she would take action or not.
Anyway, she tried her best, and it had nothing to do with her if the guy didn't take action.
The lesbian got on her bicycle and walked crookedly because the road was so slippery.
Not far into the ride, I fell down and got up from the ground. I didn't dare to ride the bike anymore and pushed the bike away.
Lin Mai didn't see Fang Zhuoran when he returned home.
Today is Sunday, he should be at home unless he works overtime.
She ran to the kitchen and asked Grandma Fang, who was making lunch, if Fang Zhuoran had gone to the hospital.
Doudou squatted aside playing marbles and rushed to answer: "Dad didn't go to the hospital. I saw him going to the back house."
Lin Mai went to the back house and searched around, but did not see Fang Zhuoran but found that the courtyard door behind was ajar.
She walked over, opened the back door, and looked out to see if Fang Zhuoran was outside.
Sure enough, he was outside, but not alone, but with Su Yuying.
Lin Mai's face suddenly darkened. Why did this Su Yuying get entangled with her man again?
