Chapter 1854 That Woman (18th Update)
Zhao Tiezhu's speech naturally attracted constant applause from the audience. To be honest, Zhao Tiezhu was really sincere when he said these words. At least he felt that every word he said was true, unlike some people who took people's donations to do their own things.
However, many people actually still maintain a wait-and-see attitude towards the Phoenix Charity Fund. After all, such a suddenly rising charity fund must do something convincing enough to have enough credibility to make people feel at ease to throw money at it.
After Zhao Tiezhu finished his speech, the host announced the first aid target of the Phoenix Charity Fund, which is Xiangyang Village.
"Next, we would like to invite the village chief of Xiangyang Village to come on stage and tell us about life in the mountains."
After the host finished speaking, an old man with a white beard walked onto the stage from the side.
This old man was wearing a gray Zhongshan suit. Unlike most people now wearing Zhongshan suits for retro, the Zhongshan suit on this old man looked really old. There were already several patches on it, and some places had already been torn apart and I don't know what it looked like.
The old man was in good spirits. He didn't walk shakily, but looked quite vigorous. It was probably because he worked in the fields for many years. Although he looked old, he was as strong as the young people in the city.
The old man took a microphone from the staff beside him and said directly, "Hello, everyone."
There was a kind smile from the audience. It turned out that the old man held the microphone upside down.
The staff hurried forward to help the old man hold the microphone.
The old man said embarrassedly, "I'm sorry, it's the first time I use this thing, I'm sorry to make you laugh!"
As soon as these words came out, the laughter on the scene disappeared completely.
It's just a microphone. Who dares to say that they haven't seen that thing now? It's like someone saying that they haven't seen headphones. This is simply unimaginable.
However, the old man's face was full of sincerity. It seems that he really has never seen this thing.
"My name is Zhao Tieniu." The old man's third sentence made Zhao Tiezhu stunned for a moment. Oh my god, why is this person's name so similar to mine?
"Just now I saw a leader, Zhao Tiezhu, whose name is similar to mine. Hehe." Zhao Tieniu smiled and looked at Zhao Tiezhu.
Zhao Tiezhu smiled and nodded.
He could actually become a leader.
"I am the village chief of Xiangyang Village." Zhao Tieniu said, "Our Xiangyang Village is in Xiaogangzi Town, AB County of gz. It is quite far from the town. It takes most of the day to get there by car. We don't have much. We just work and raise livestock every day. The strong young people in the village have gone out to work. Only we old guys, some women, and children are left. Our life is hard. The per capita annual income of our village is only 590 yuan. The village lacks everything, including water, electricity, teachers, and doctors..."
Zhao Tieniu briefly told everyone present about the situation in the village, and then said, "We are very happy to hear that someone is going to help us this time. Thank you all, thank you for the help of all the leaders to our village, thank you all!"
As the old man spoke, he actually bowed his hands!
Then, the old man said, "You donated things to us this time. When our village becomes rich in the future, we will definitely repay you!"
Although this old man is not very good at speaking, it must be admitted that every word he says is the most straightforward and represents what he thinks.
This man is a straight-forward person.
You can also call him simple and honest.
After the old village chief finished his speech, the host arranged for him to sit next to Zhao Tiezhu and others. First, the provincial leaders cordially greeted the old village chief, and then the municipal leaders cordially greeted the old village chief. Anyway, they had to be as cordial as possible, and the cameras were also constantly taking pictures.
Zhao Tiezhu naturally had nothing to say about these leaders who seemed to be putting on a show. Instead, he was more concerned about what the host was saying now.
"Next, we have invited several volunteers from Xiangyang Village to come on stage and explain to us what they saw, heard, thought and thought in Xiangyang Village." The host said.
Then several young men and women walked onto the stage from the side.
These people looked to be in their twenties, and their skin was very dark.
Listening to what they said on the stage, Zhao Tiezhu understood that many of these people were college graduates who had just graduated and went to Xiangyang Village to volunteer with a heart to give back to society. These people were all teachers in the village's primary school. They basically had no salary, but the village provided them with food and accommodation.
There were actually several villages around Xiangyang Village, and the situation was the same as Xiangyang Village. Because Xiangyang Village had a Hope Primary School that was built at an unknown time, the children around went to school in Xiangyang Village. The source of students was good, but life was really hard.
These people were obviously much better at speaking. They almost described the current situation of Xiangyang Village in a few simple sentences, and then they just thanked everyone for their help, which was quite touching.
"In fact, what our village lacks now is medical supplies." The college student who led the group said, "There are also doctors. We only have one doctor there now, who is also a volunteer like us. Because of the lack of assistants, she is the only one who is busy in and out of the clinic every day. She works harder than any of us. Today, she also came to the scene. I hope that if you have the ability, please support our friend more."
After saying that, the college student turned his head and looked aside, motioning the doctor to come up.
But for some reason, no one came out from the backstage.
The college student volunteer was puzzled for a moment, and then said, "Maybe my friend is shy. Please wait a moment, I will invite her up."
As he said that, several volunteers walked aside one after another.
Zhao Tiezhu's heart twitched for no reason, and then Zhao Tiezhu frowned.
At this time, several volunteers came out from the side, and next to them, there was a woman with her head down.
This was a pretty woman, but perhaps because she had been exposed to too much sun, her skin was a little dark, and the clothes she wore were just ordinary sportswear, a little old, but quite clean.
Zhao Tiezhu stood up immediately, looking at the woman who lowered her head and dared not look at him. An indescribable emotion flashed in Zhao Tiezhu's eyes, and then he sat down.
