MMB Chapter 65 Event End
Chapter 65 Event End
The questions Lu Yuan set were relatively simple, designed to help children with cleft lips answer them and boost their confidence.
However, Lu Yuan also controlled the number of questions they answered, so that they could eat a portion of each type of fried chicken evenly.
Otherwise, eating too much at once will be too greasy and can easily cause indigestion.
Lu Yuan also served the Xu family in the private room a portion of the same fried chicken.
I didn't have time to cook for them today, but I couldn't let them sit on an empty stomach.
Whatever was left in the kitchen, we served them a portion of it, one by one.
Lamb neck, hand-pulled lamb, and their staff meal noodles with minced meat sauce.
Although it doesn't look like a very lavish meal, the lamb is of high quality and has an excellent flavor.
The men of the Xu family weren't pretentious either; they ate their noodles and garlic with gusto, thoroughly enjoying themselves.
Lu Yuan handed over the task of frying chicken to Aunt Guifen and Aunt Caixia.
These two aunties were quick learners; after Lu Yuan taught them once, they had basically mastered the technique.
So even if Lu Yuan organizes the children to play games in the courtyard, there's no need to worry about the products not meeting the standards.
Anyway, when it comes to fried chicken, all I know are common recipes that taste pretty much the same.
However, the adults in the Xu family were very interested in the fried chicken. Since they were all family, they didn't care about table manners and grabbed it with both hands to devour it.
"You know what, this fried chicken is really satisfying." Xu Jianhua, the youngest among them, was eating with his mouth full of oil. He was the most accepting of these snacks.
Xu Jianjun's wife chimed in, "Yes, this fried chicken is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. It's so satisfying to eat. It would be great if a fried chicken shop could be opened in the provincial capital."
"Sister-in-law, that's a great idea!" Xu Jianguo's eyes lit up. "How about we talk to Boss Lu later and partner with him to open a fried chicken shop?"
"Hmph!" Old Master Xu had high cholesterol, and after eating only one piece, he reluctantly stopped. Hearing his sons chatting, he snorted coldly.
"I think you're all desperate to do business! No one is allowed to disturb Boss Lu's charity work today!"
. . .
In the courtyard, each group played the game, and the children all had a few more pieces of fried chicken with bones on their plates.
The second game is the classic telephone game from "Ace vs Ace".
The reward is a large cup of lemon iced tea, specially made by the muscular arms of the braised egg vendors.
Lu Yuan wouldn't give the kids too much cola; homemade drinks were healthier.
After finishing a round of fried chicken, the kids were already looking for something to drink.
Unfortunately, the small cup was already empty of cola.
The lemon iced tea that Lu Yuanduan served was in a tall glass with a straw inserted, its cool amber color making it look extremely tempting.
After the first round of the game, the children were clearly better at playing and cooperated more smoothly.
In particular, these children with cleft lips have demonstrated remarkable personal abilities after overcoming their psychological barriers.
Their genuine performance earned them applause from the other children, and confident smiles appeared on their faces for the first time.
Dr. Huang watched with satisfaction, silently turning his back and wiping away the tears from the corners of his eyes before anyone noticed.
He was originally a hardworking associate chief physician, but in the final evaluation for professional title, he lost to a slacker.
In his despair, he suddenly lost all fighting spirit.
It was around that time that he met a child who had undergone surgery.
On the day he failed his professional title evaluation, that child waited from day to night just to give him a New Year's card.
The greeting card was a beautiful pop-up card, which my child had saved up for a long time to buy.
The child lost his parents when he was young, and his grandfather raised him.
After finally saving up enough money to take my child for cleft lip and palate repair surgery, my elderly relative fell ill again.
But one unit of money cannot be used for two purposes, so the child chose not to have the surgery in order to save his grandfather.
He couldn't bear to see it, so he used his own salary and bonuses to pay for the child's surgery.
He clearly remembers a sentence written on the greeting card: "I want to be a kind and upright doctor like Dr. Huang."
It was this unexpected turn of events that brought him the most heartwarming reward.
That child has changed a lot. He used to be timid and afraid to speak, but now he is confident and brave, and often receives the title of "Three Good Student" at school.
From that moment on, he finally found the meaning of studying medicine and devoted himself to charity without hesitation.
Seeing Lu Yuan's performance today, he felt that he hadn't done nearly enough.
He used to think that traveling the world was enough, but today Lu Yuan made him realize that saving a closed-off heart is equally important.
Just then, Dr. Wang handed over a tissue and said, "It seems we'll have to work even harder in the future!"
Dr. Huang: "..."
After the second game, each child received a cup of lemon iced tea.
The courtyard gradually became noisy. After playing games, the children started chatting with each other, completely losing the awkwardness they had when they first arrived.
Lu Yuan clapped his hands, stopped leading everyone in games, and stood by the wall, pointing to Naruto on the wall as he began to speak:
"This child is Naruto. He grew up without parents, and the children in the village often ostracized him. He was slow-witted from a young age, unable to even learn the most basic Shadow Clone Technique. But Naruto's greatest strength was never his ninjutsu, but his character. When others gave up, he didn't; when others admitted defeat, he persevered. His most foolish, yet most precious, saying was: 'I keep my word, that's my ninja way.'"
...
Lu Yuan vividly told the children a small part of Naruto's story from Naruto's perspective.
The children listened intently, all deeply moved by Naruto's story.
Especially those babies with cleft lips, with their bright eyes, evoked a strong sense of empathy within me.
As Lu Yuan reached the end of the mural, Naruto's story came to an end.
The children returned to their seats, still wanting more, and looked at Lu Yuan with longing eyes.
Xiao Zhang, standing to the side, immediately pounded his chest and stamped his feet, exclaiming, "So the story I drew was really interesting... But why did it end like this?!"
Lu Yuan then gestured for the braised egg vendors to bring over a hamburger and said to the children:
"Now I'm going to test whether everyone listened carefully to my story. The first question, Xu Manman from the red team, please answer..."
After a round of questions, all the teams answered correctly.
Even if the person being called doesn't know, other children in the same group will fill in the blank in time.
Finally, everyone had an extra hamburger, bigger than a Big Mac.
Lu Yuan was speechless, thinking to himself, "How many chicken cutlets did those aunties in the kitchen put on my plate?"
Inside the private room, Xu Jianhua exclaimed in surprise:
"Wow! Boss Lu even made the hamburgers. I definitely need to have a chat with him later..."
Meeting Old Master Xu's icy gaze, Xu Jianhua immediately shut his mouth.
After the hamburger segment, Lu Yuan had originally planned a chicken cutlet segment as well.
But the aunties made the hamburgers too big, and the children couldn't eat them anymore, so Lu Yuan simply canceled that part of the meal.
The sun was already hanging low over the mountain, and Lu Yuan asked the braised egg vendors to bring out the gifts he had prepared in advance.
The gift was a small bag containing stationery and an invitation to the next event.
This was made by Zhao Tong at Lu Yuan's request, and it was brought along today when the GG sign was installed.
Now that the activity has been launched, Lu Yuan plans to do it once a month.
Treating the children to a meal might not mean much to him, but for these children, it could be a life-changing event.
