Chapter 1595: Insist on Your Own Opinion

After hearing this, Feng Zhenchang glanced at the director, his eyes were quite complicated, but Director Zhao didn't know whether he noticed it or didn't care, and continued to talk about his ideas.

Judging from the performance of those behind him, these words were obviously agreed by them.

Their platform was unobstructed in front and behind, and transparent on both sides. The north wind blew past, making people feel cold all over. For a moment, Feng Zhenchang even felt that his heart was a little cold.

But when he looked at the loading and unloading workers around him who were still wearing only single coats in such weather and their heads were full of sweat, he felt warm in his heart.

These people, like myself more than ten years ago, are the pillars of the family.

Their family must be the same as my family more than ten years ago. There may be a sick family member, or several children who have to pay for tuition. Every drop of their real sweat may be exchanged for a slight improvement in the family situation.

"Guan Xing, do some statistics. We will take care of the lunch for the masters who help with loading and unloading. If they don't have time to go to the restaurant, we will order the best boxed lunch for them," he suddenly said.

Of course, we can also give each master a few dozen yuan directly. There may be many masters who don't care about having a good meal, but prefer to get a few dozen yuan. But Feng Zhenchang feels that giving them a few dozen yuan each seems to be a kind of disrespect to them.

Originally, he only had primary school education and had been struggling to make a living at the bottom, but his living conditions had not improved much. He once became a little desperate and numb. He would not have been so delicate.

In the difficult days, when the pressure of life was about to bend the backbones of these heads of the family, what did they care about respect or not? Money is respect, and money is the bright color in those difficult days.

But a man should be re-examined after three days of separation. Although his current level is still not too high, he has read a lot of books and taught himself a lot of things in these years. He is over 70 years old, and his heart has not only become softer, but now he can have his own clear views on many things.

Although these people may not care about being respected now, I should care about them. Brothers, there is still a long way to go.

"I know, uncle," Guan Xing said immediately.

But he did not tell the stevedores the news immediately.

Why did he say this at this time? To show his kindness, or to make these masters work faster?

Director Zhao was interrupted and was stunned for a moment. When he heard Feng Zhenchang instructing Guan Xing to treat the stevedores to lunch, he thought that he was really a soft-hearted person. Maybe it was because he was old?

"Mr. Feng, you are really kind to others," he praised, "but there is something I don't know whether to say or not,"

But he did not wait for Feng Zhenchang's conclusion, and continued to say, "If we consider efficiency and capital cost, I think your good deed can be done in another way?"

"You see, you purchased so many materials, then loaded them from here and transported them to us, which means you spent a lot of extra money on purchasing and transportation. In fact, we can raise these materials locally. You know, business is so developed now. As long as you have funds, you can buy what you want anywhere,"

"To be honest, we often do these things, and we may get a more cost-effective purchase price,"

He spoke sincerely, thinking very much about Feng Zhenchang and the villagers.

"Leader, you are right," Feng Zhenchang glanced at him and the people behind him, and understood why these people pushed the person in front of him out.

This person really knows how to talk.

"In the past few years, we have actually tried many methods. We have also come out of hard times, and we know many things very well. A few hundred yuan may not be enough for a meal for us, or just a day's expenses, but for some families, these few hundred yuan may make them happy and relaxed for a long time."

"Yes, yes, yes," Director Zhao quickly agreed, "In our area, some families have an annual income of a few thousand yuan, and many have an annual income of two or three thousand yuan. These few hundred yuan are really not a small amount for them, and can really do a lot of things."

But he forgot to remove himself from what Feng Zhenchang said, "a few hundred yuan for a meal, or a day's expenses."

"Have you ever lived such a hard life?" Feng Zhenchang's words seemed to be a question, but not a question, because he did not wait for Director Zhao and others to answer.

"We have lived through it, so we know that even if they received these few hundred yuan, they would not spend a penny on improving their lives. Even if their lives get better in the future, they will not be able to change this habit for a while," he glanced at Mei Qiuping.

Mei Qiuping glared at him and said to me, "My family is not rich, so we should live a long and steady life, right?"

There are so many people now, I don't bother to argue with you.

"It's a pity that we can't help too many families change their current situation, but we know that a decent piece of clothing and a pair of shoes similar to those of classmates are of great significance to a child."

He couldn't help but think of his son again.

After his son was admitted to high school, they went to the countryside to help clean up the rented house, and found the sailor shirt that Mei Jianzhong took him to buy in the summer before junior high school at the bottom of the box.

He grew up very quickly in those two years. By the second grade, he could no longer fit into that piece of clothing, but he still folded it well and put it in a bag.

They didn't think much about it at that time, but now that they think about it, it must have been the first time that their son wore clothes of the same level as the classmates around him.

In the eyes of adults who are not well-off, a piece of clothing may cost a few yuan or more than ten yuan, but in the eyes of a child, a piece of clothing is similar to that of a classmate, and a pair of clothes is worn by all the classmates. Similar shoes are actually not just a piece of clothing or a pair of shoes.

"So in the end we felt that giving away money was not the best way,"

"Yes, you are right. With money, you can buy good quality things locally. But for us, whether it is money, clothing, or food, in the final analysis, it is all about our hearts. The most important thing about your heart is that it must be true and pure, so we can rest assured that we have to prepare these things ourselves,”

"It's worth putting in more effort and spending more money,"

An old farmer suddenly said such delicate words, Director Zhao was really stunned for a moment.

They could hear the faint distrust in his words, which made them a little embarrassed.

There was some irritation, but in front of this person who kept his true nature as a farmer without showing off his appearance as a farmer, they did not dare to show even the slightest bit of such emotions.

In fact, even if it was revealed, Feng Zhenchang wouldn't care. It turned out that he had never even met the township head, but he had seen a lot of officials in recent years.

To be honest, if it weren't for something like this, it would be really difficult for the county directors to have a chance to deal with him.

"Have we allocated the relevant management fees?" he asked Guan Xing.

He now naturally knows that in order to implement these things of his own, he will inevitably need the cooperation of relevant units and spend some extra money.

If people always do things for nothing, then no one will do anything in the future. He still understands this truth.

"Dialed," Guan Xing said briefly.

"Mr. Feng, I didn't expect you to think so deeply, but we really have no other intentions," Director Zhao explained.

"I know," Feng Zhenchang nodded, "Money is a good thing, but sometimes it can make people do bad things."

He said something that made Director Zhao and others change their expressions.

He is over sixty years old and has been at the bottom of society for the past few decades. What has he never seen? Now that I have met so many people and experienced so many things, what can’t be expected?

Especially the bad encounter in the city during the Mid-Autumn Festival made him realize that sometimes, even if you show love with good intentions, you might end up feeling frustrated.

He naturally knows that these people prefer to donate money themselves, and he naturally knows better why they like to donate money themselves. At the same time, he also understands that if he really just donates money, management fees will be collected layer by layer, and finally he hopes to help How many more will there be in the hands of those people - I'm afraid it's really not much.

"Come on, let's go take a look," he said to Mei Qiuping, not bothering to say more to Director Zhao and the others who couldn't even smile at the moment.

"Mr. Feng, you have to understand that our work has policies and regulations, and we will never mess around," Director Zhao said loudly.

"Director Zhao," Guan Xing stopped him, "We will continue similar charities in the future, but starting from this time, we will introduce some internationally accepted practices to manage each donation. There will definitely be Reports to track progress and results,"

"We welcome all kind-hearted people to do this kind of work," Director Zhao said.

She glanced at him with concern, "In the area where this donation was made, there are currently 13 Youjia convenience stores in total, and this number will increase in the future. Many of our employees are locals and visit the community regularly, which is why we Convenience stores have always insisted on doing the work,"

"So Director Zhao and other leaders, if you still insist that we should donate money, I can suggest to Mr. Feng. To be honest, I also hope that they can worry less,"

"But what Mr. Feng and the others don't want to see is that their kindness and good intentions end up making some people miserable,"

Guan Xing's words are more in-depth than Feng Zhenchang's words, but they still leave a lot of room.

No matter when, you cannot let everyone follow you just because you are kind; no matter when, you cannot offend everyone just because you want to do something good.

But his words had a very good effect.

Although when he said these words, he was as slow, soft and gentle as before, but Director Zhao and the others were stunned when they heard it.

Director Zhao moved his mouth, "Haha, we are just suggestions, just suggestions. Of course, we must respect your opinions first,"

They really forgot about the great local conveniences.

These convenience stores are not like the tracking teams sent by other people who only stay for a while and then leave. These convenience stores are deeply rooted in the local area. As long as they want to inquire, what information cannot be obtained?

If it really develops as I hope, I am afraid that in the end, I and many others will really not be able to live in peace.

Guan Xing went to chase Feng Zhenchang and his wife, while Director Zhao and his colleagues stayed where they were in silence.

The young man's gentle yet formidable words made them completely put away some of their inappropriate thoughts. It seemed that it was better not to make any plans related to the Feng family in the future.

…………

Feng Zhenchang and Mei Qiuping did not communicate with Director Zhao and his team later. They waited until the meal Guan Xing ordered for the loaders was delivered before they got on the car and went home.

Looking at the increasingly prosperous provincial capital outside the window, the old couple was a little silent.

"Really, nothing is easy," Mei Qiuping said.

"We are always easier than many people now," Feng Zhenchang said.

"Those directors," Mei Qiuping shook her head.

"It's inevitable," Feng Zhenchang said, "We can only try to plan properly,"

When he was young, when life was difficult, he liked to get stuck in a rut, but now he has become much more open-minded. Some people will always be there, and some things will always happen, and they can't be stopped.

"Hmm, it smells good," he said suddenly.

Mei Qiuping glanced outside the car and said to the driver, "Xiao Liu, don't stop,"

"You are always like this. Don't we have a cellar of sweet potatoes at home? If you like them, I will bake them for you every day after we go back. I can bake them for you every meal. If you buy them here, they are at least one yuan each. They are so expensive,"

Faintly, Feng Zhenchang can be heard saying in the car, "I am too lazy to talk to you,"

It was noon at this time. Although the sun still looked like an egg yolk, the weather was still warmer...
