first dust

Chapter 14 Departure

Fireworks and firecrackers have been set off outside, bright and colorful colors illuminate the dark blue curtain, and the swimming colors are bright and beautiful.Through the windows, the courtyard is full of red lanterns, filled with warm red everywhere, and the servants who come and go are also busy in red Tang suits with smiles on their faces, which has a strong New Year flavor.

There is a rule before An's New Year's Eve dinner, first go to the ancestral hall to make offerings to the ancestors, and then under the leadership of Mr. An, the whole family will kowtow to the ancestor's tablet one by one.Every year is no exception, and he takes it very seriously. An Yangjie, who was naughty when he was a child, was beaten by his father several times for playing around while kowtowing, and he has been honest every time since then.

After kowtowing, the family went to the restaurant for dinner. The restaurant left two servants on duty, and the rest of the servants went to another hall for the New Year's Eve dinner.Uncle An proposed the rule that the host and the servants have meals at the same time during the Chinese New Year, so although he seldom returns to the old house, he is the most popular in the old house.

The New Year’s Eve dinner is the same every year. Mrs. An likes dishes with good meanings, and the chef mostly cooks them according to her taste. It's hard to change anything.With Second Uncle An's restaurant bustling, everyone in office couldn't help laughing, and the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law temporarily became harmonious.

After dinner, Dad An and Uncle An chatted with the old man, and the children went to work on their own with their mobile phones. There are so many classmates and friends, and they all have to send text messages for New Year greetings, and some even make phone calls.

An Chuchen first sent auspicious words of New Year's greetings to everyone in the classmate group, and then called his friends one by one. Everyone was busy with New Year's greetings, and hung up after chatting for a few words.The fireworks outside the window have never stopped, and the courtyard in the red halo and the colorful night sky form the most beautiful scenery.

On such a day without my mother by my side, I always feel empty in my heart. It would be nice for the family to celebrate the New Year together, but now I can only call my mother and say: "Mom, happy new year!" Staying home for the New Year, but it has become a habit since I was a child, but now I just feel deserted.Why did they choose to divorce?Why didn't we go on together when we chose to be together?Is it better to be apart than to be together?

"Chenchen, happy new year to you too!" There was lively laughter from over there, and when An's mother answered the phone, she spoke with laughter. It seems that it is better for mother to separate.Just be happy, mom.

"Uncle Sun, Happy New Year!" Hearing Uncle Sun's voice over there, An Chuchen greeted with a smile.

"Chenchen, happy new year to you too! Please live here after the new year, your mother misses you very much."

"Well, I'll be there in two days."

City A, in a brightly lit villa hall, the scene that should have been lively is now a mess, the luxurious and exquisite carpet is full of stains, a group of men and women who are exquisitely dressed to the point of hair are surrounded by a tall and majestic man who is obviously old The men spoke, some consoling and some hiding their wits.

Although the man in the middle is well-maintained, it can be seen that he is a handsome young man, but now it seems that the fatigue on his face makes the skin on the whole face more slack, and the nasolabial folds are hard to get rid of like a knife. Wrinkles appeared in the shortness of breath, and the whole figure looked like a lion king about to lose his strength.

Although he used to be a high and majestic king, when he grows old, opponents and heirs lurking everywhere want to take a bite.Looking at the young faces around, they have always been trembling in front of him, they surrendered to his strength, his power, his wealth, he controls the joys, sorrows, sorrows and joys of these people, like their god, but now He even began to envy their youth.In these pairs of eyes, he saw eagerness and caring, but they didn't reach the bottom of his eyes. These people somewhat dissatisfied him.The successor he fancied was out of tune with him, and he couldn't subdue the new lion king by all means, and he was a little tired.

Did he really do something wrong in the past?No, that's right, what you do is what you do, there is no right or wrong.Do whatever means you can to achieve your goals, otherwise how can you win in this battlefield where the weak prey on the strong?How can we maintain these prosperity and do better without means?The means are almost useless!And his children are also competing in this way, he seems to be raising Gu, in the end only one can get everything he has.

Coming out of the quarrel, the cold air made Qin Mu wake up instantly, and every time he saw the old man's mistresses and illegitimate children, his mood would get worse.Quickly sorted out his emotions, and smiled sarcastically. Every year, he could see a group of people performing a big show. Unfortunately, in his opinion, the acting was not in place. Watching it would only make people feel more disgusted.

The phone rang, it was Chuchen's call, and Qin Mu's mood improved a lot.

"Brother Mu, Happy New Year!" The young man Qingyue's pleasant voice came from the other end of the phone, as if there was a kind of magical power entangled in the ear, slowly seeping into the body, making people unable to bear the aftertaste.There have been too many things recently, and the two have not been in touch for a while.

The bodyguards who followed him opened the car door one step earlier, and Qin Mu smiled while sitting in the car: "Happy New Year, Chuchen! How are you doing? Did you go somewhere to play?"

"It's okay, I went to Germany and it feels good, but it's colder than here." He took the initiative to talk about what he had seen in Germany, and the time passed unconsciously, and the two people who had a good conversation didn't notice it.

"Brother Chen, you've been laughing at your phone for a long time, are you looking for a girlfriend?" An Yangjie got bored chatting in the WeChat group and went to An Chuchen to check his presence.

"I'm sorry, Brother Mu, I have something to do here, I'll hang up first." An Chuchen glanced at An Yangjie, very displeased at his interruption.

"Okay." Qin Mu, who was hung up on the phone, was in a better mood, girlfriend?hehe.

"Brother Chen, have you got a girlfriend? What kind? Let me see! Mu Ge? This name is not bad!" An Yangjie continued to ask, he was very curious to make An Chuchen, who is always stern, laugh. Be that kind of person.

An Chuchen ignored him and walked away.

An Yangjie, who was ignored again, was so angry that he ran to the lobby to spread the news about An Chuchen's girlfriend. The adults just laughed and didn't ask much.As for Dad An, he doesn't believe that his son has any girlfriend at all, and he is also the one who peeps at his son's Weibo whenever he has nothing to do.It is also a good thing if the son has a girlfriend, but it is too late to be happy.

It felt like a heavy punch had hit the cotton. An Yangjie was dazed and discouraged. He picked up the pillow on the sofa and beat it hard twice. When his father saw it, he would inevitably be taught a lesson.

In the next few days, he continued to attend gatherings of well-connected families. An Chuchen didn't carelessly like usual, and studied hard behind Papa An or Uncle An.After that, I went to Anma's for a few days, and then went out to do research with people from the foundation.

Qian Aimin has worked in the Stardust Foundation for six years and is one of the oldest employees.Although his surname is Qian, he has no money, because most of the money is used to donate to others.At the beginning, the wife saw his honesty, kindness and strong work ability, but she never thought that after marriage, her husband’s salary would disappear after two days. Bitterly counting the rice into the pot.

At the beginning, I was moved by the kindness of my husband, and my wife also supported her husband, but as time went by, the family became more nervous after adding children and money.The child is sick and can't afford the money, and the wife is arguing for a divorce. Qian Aimin himself feels sorry for his wife and children, but what can he do now that he has no money?Divorce won't solve the problem either.

I happened to talk to the parents of a seriously ill child on the floor about asking for help online, and an employee of the Stardust Foundation contacted them, not only helping them find the hospital, but also bearing most of the medical expenses.With an attitude of giving it a try, my wife found the foundation, and as they said, she passed the foundation's investigation, and according to the family's situation, the medical bills were paid quickly.

At the same time, the foundation gave Qian Aimin a recruitment quota. Through this incident, Qian Aimin understood that charity should be done according to one's ability. After all, one's own ability is limited, and joining the foundation can help more people.Without much thought, he immediately quit his original job and joined the Stardust Foundation.The foundation is a personal non-public fundraising type, which means that the source of funds for the foundation only comes from the person who founded the foundation, and does not conduct social fundraising, so the number of funding places is limited.Qian Aimin's job is to sift through information from various sources to determine the number of places, and then other staff will investigate whether donations are really needed.

At the end of last year, the leaders held a meeting and said that the foundation should be divided into two departments. One part is the previous work, and the other part is to carry out poverty alleviation work and invest in poverty-stricken areas. It is easier to carry out due to the limitation of funds. The place where the work is carried out, for example, it is suitable for areas with low investment such as planting and breeding.

Colleagues were talking about it, this is a big project, no wonder they started recruiting people again, and I heard that the recruits are all management elites, speaking of which, they haven't met the top leaders of the foundation.After the discussion, everyone worked overtime and rummaged through a pile of files. A bunch of enthusiastic people thought that the sooner this kind of thing should be done, the better, and it was nothing to sacrifice some personal vacation time.

After the new year, Qian Aimin and several other colleagues passed the materials submitted. The foundation first prepared for field research, and Qian Aimin followed the leader and set off before the fifteenth day.His current wife is very supportive of his work. Not only does he get a lot of wages from home, but also the benefits are very good. In addition to a lot of things that will be distributed during the holidays, he will organize employees and their families to go out for fun once a year.So even though she often travels on business, my wife never complained. Now the words my wife often says are: "Do well, don't worry about the family."

Dad An found a few experienced investors for the foundation to evaluate and select projects, and set out with the team this time.There were more than a dozen people in the car, and An Chuchen was not conspicuous inside. Everyone in the car thought that he was a relative of the Secretary-General who came to gain knowledge.

From the bus to the car, and then to the bus, from the road to the mountain road to the small road stepped on casually, from smooth to bumpy, people who don't get motion sickness can't stand such bumps.Three people vomited several times along the way, and the smell in the car gradually became unpleasant. When the group arrived at their destination, their faces were not very good.

The author has something to say:

There is no manuscript left. It seems that it is still a long way to finish writing. I will try to finish it this year.
