Doing the Right Thing

Today’s live-stream was quite popular. Once it started, there were hundreds of thousands of viewers online. As time passed, the number of viewers reached ten million.

When word spread that Lu Jinsen might be cooking today, it attracted large groups of spectators.

Around eight o’clock, the guests arrived at a nearby elementary school. At this moment, the students were reading in the classroom.

When they passed by the teaching building, they could see through the window that the students were dressed in uniform and sitting upright. They were holding textbooks in their hands and reading the textbooks in an emotional manner.

In order not to disturb the students’ morning reading, everyone lightened their footsteps and did not dare to stay at the door.

The principal brought them around the campus and briefly explained the situation of the school. “Our school covers an area of about 15,000 square meters. There are nearly 300 students and a total of 23 teachers.”

Other than the children from their village, there were also the children from the two neighboring villages. The environment was relatively backward and the terrain was complicated. The farming area was not large, and there were fewer resources that could be used. Therefore, the children from their village could only come here to attend school.

It was precisely because of the long journey home for the children that the school specially opened a canteen for the students to stay in school for lunch. After lunch, they would take a lunch break in the classroom.

Hearing the principal talk about the children’s arduous learning journey, everyone could not help but resonate.

[In such a difficult environment, it’s already considered decent for them to have access to education. Boohoo.]

[I remember when I went to the village to teach previously, many children had coats that were sewn and mended for several years. Most of us behind the screen are already more fortunate than most people.]

[When I have children in the future, I must teach him to study hard.]

[I’m crying. Most of the children in the village are left-behind children. They have to carry their school bags to school before dawn. They’re so sensible that it makes my heart ache.]

[I hope there’s a rich sugar daddy who can invest in them.]

The six guests walked around the campus and finally arrived at the school canteen. Coincidentally, they bumped into a vegetable farmer delivering food to the school canteen.

Meng Chuyuan glanced at the vegetables on the tricycle and said without changing her expression, “These vegetables have to be delivered in about 50 kilograms every day, right?”

The principal replied, “They are about hundreds of kilograms.”

Looking at the vegetable farmer unloading the goods on the tricycle, the principal’s eyes were filled with gratitude. Then, he explained to everyone, “That’s the parent of our student. He’s been planting vegetables in the village and has been providing vegetables to our school canteen for free for a few years. His child went to the county to study after graduation last year but he still insists on delivering vegetables to us every day and never takes money…”

The principal was so touched that his eyes turned red. However, he was worried about losing his composure in front of everyone. He blinked and quickly adjusted himself.

Hearing that this dish was provided by the parent of a student, everyone fell silent.

“Sometimes, when the weather is bad, we can’t grow enough vegetables and the parents who live nearby will help to make up the numbers. In short, we never let our school canteen be short of food provisions.”

The principal recalled those unbearable memories and couldn’t help but sigh. “If it weren’t for these parents, our school’s canteen might not have been able to operate.”

[My tears welled up and uncontrollably flowed out. This is really too tear-jerking. Boohoo.]

[I believe that good people will be rewarded.]

[Do you have any channels for donations? I want to send supplies to the school.]

[I suddenly feel that the production team is not so heartless. At least they chose the right place and did the right thing.]

Meng Chuyuan walked up without a word and helped them unload the vegetables.

Seeing Meng Chuyuan get to work, the other guests and the principal also went over to help unload the goods and transport the vegetables into the kitchen.

With everyone’s help, the vegetables in the car were quickly unloaded.

The vegetable farmer bowed to everyone. “Thank you, everyone. Thank you…”

Every time, he would come at dusk. The canteen was often closed, and he always had to deliver and unload the vegetables himself. Now that he suddenly met Meng Chuyuan and the others, the vegetable farmer was extremely touched.

Qi Zhen: “No problem. It’s what we should do.”

Meng Chuyuan patted the dust off her hands and looked up at the vegetable farmer. She asked curiously, “Brother, you’re already the boss. Why are you still delivering vegetables yourself?”

The vegetable farmer smiled and said, “My house is nearby. It’s not far anyway. Instead of troubling others, it’s better to make the trip myself. I’ve come every day to deliver vegetables. I’m already used to it. Only by doing this personally will I feel at ease.”

No matter how busy the market was, he would always make time to deliver vegetables to the school, never delaying the canteen’s meal time.

Meng Chuyuan looked at him and said from the bottom of her heart, “Thank you for your hard work.”

“It’s not hard-work to me. Everything is worth it for these children. Principal Huang is the one who’s working hard. He’s already at the age of retirement, but he still insists on staying in the school.”

Principal Huang only smiled humbly and did not reply.

[I’ve been crying since the recording started today. Boohoo.]

[Perhaps it’s just a routine for him, but to this school, it means a lot.]

[These vegetables are visibly fresh. He even gave them to the school for free when he planted them himself. It can be seen that this big brother is a good father. Boohoo, he must love his child very much.]

[I’m in tears. Principal Huang already has a head of white hair, but he still can’t bear to retire.]

[I believe that these children will definitely excel when they grow up.]

The vegetable farmer realized that the camera beside him was filming him. Only then did he realize that they were doing a variety show. He scratched his head shyly and said, “I have to go back. I still have a lot of things to do.”

Meng Chuyuan replied politely, “Then take care. We won’t disrupt your business any further.”

Not long after the vegetable farmer left, the chef in the canteen had also returned from grocery shopping.

The chef knew that there would be helpers in the canteen today, but he did not expect there to be so many people. When he saw the six guests, he was stunned.

Meng Chuyuan was the closest to him, so she stood up and greeted the chef. “Hello, if I’m not wrong, you’re the person in charge of the canteen, right?”

The cook nodded. “Hello.”

“You guys have been waiting for a long time, right? I’m really sorry. I just went to town to buy some seasonings, so I’m late.”

Meng Chuyuan: “No, we just arrived not long ago.”

There was a total of four people in their canteen, two head chefs and two helpers.

The helpers were only responsible for washing and cutting the vegetables, and then waiting for the students to finish class to distribute their food to them.

The kitchen in the canteen was not very big and could not accommodate so many people. As it was the first time the guests had come, the chef did not assign the task of cooking to them.

[Lu Jinsen: Successfully escaped!]

[It’s a pity. I thought I would be able to see Young Master cook.]

[Stop fooling around. Even if they needed a guest to cook, a rookie like Lu Jinsen would be their last resort. After all, this meal is for children. Children’s stomachs are weak to begin with. What if something happens?]

[The sister in front is right. The little children’s stomach can’t withstand torture.]

[Everyone, be rational. If you really want to watch Lu Jinsen cook, you can watch yesterday’s live-stream replay.]
