Environmental Volunteer (1)

  "Really?" Kafi looked at his nephew for a long time without seeing him, and they stared at each other in silence, not knowing what to say.

  "It's been a long time since you last contacted me." Zhen said calmly, leaving others unsure of how to respond.

  "Is everything okay at home?"

  "Who do you want to ask? My second uncle or Lele?"

  This kid is not cute at all, and his tone is so lukewarm when he speaks.

  "Same here, how about you?"

  "I'm not fine, not at all!" Jing Jing suddenly shouted at the camera on the other end of the computer.

  "You left and didn't even call or contact me online, you...". Jian was accusing with tears in his voice on the other end of the line. Kafi was disheartened, all these were facts, what could he say? Seeing them would remind him of his father's betrayal in this marriage, which was something he absolutely couldn't forgive.

  "Sister, the divorce between Second Uncle and Second Aunt is a matter for adults, and it's their fault that Eldest Brother and Grandma cheated Second Aunt out of her money. But what did I do wrong? What did Lele do wrong? What did Lingling do wrong? Why are you treating us like this? You're in touch with Yue'er and Xia and the others, but not with us. Sister, are you still blaming us? We've all moved out already, none of us forgive Second Uncle, we don't even care about Eldest Brother's family anymore... why do you still treat us like this?..."

  Zhen was crying uncontrollably on his head.

  "I'm sorry, I just don't know how to face you all."

  "My rationality tells me that I shouldn't forgive my dad, but after living together for 8 years, my emotions keep reminding me that I miss him. What can I do? What else can I do?" Kafi said helplessly, looking at the camera with a hint of despair.

  "Sister, Second Uncle doesn't want a divorce," Jianjian said cautiously, as if afraid of provoking the other person.

  "I know, my mom insisted on leaving, my mom couldn't bear the emotional betrayal. I also insisted that they break up..."

  "Actually, Second Uncle didn't really want to make up with Lele's mom, he just pitied her because she was ill..."

  "When did you become his spokesperson? These words are useless to me, they should be said to my mom. I love dad very much, but dad shouldn't hurt mom like that. Do you understand?"

  "But I feel that my second uncle is very sad now..."

  "In Tokyo, I've already made it clear that one should cherish the people in front of them and not wait until they're gone to realize how precious what's been lost is."

  "When mom was around, dad didn't cherish her. He bought a house for that woman, secretly visited her, and used company money to secretly give to his brother. Every single one of these actions offended mom's taboos, but dad committed all of them. What can you say?"

  "Sister, isn't losing once and for all too intense? Besides, Second Uncle has already regretted it, why can't we give him a chance to make amends?"

  "This is reality, some things are done wrong and can't be made up for with just an apology."

  "But everything depends on one's own heart; as long as the heart is willing, what can't be changed?"

  The sister and brother quarreled in front of the computer screen on the internet.

  "Is it useful for you to tell me all this? The key is whether Dad can move Mom, not me?" Kafi said after finishing the sentence, took off his headphones and hung up.

  It's human nature to think things are ordinary when you have them, but regret losing them afterwards...

  I don't know what mom is really thinking, she used to love dad so much, she tolerated many things dad did and didn't say anything, but the divorce was also so resolute, doesn't mom regret it at all?

  The first meeting after a long time did not end in harmony.

  "Alas, why bother with kids?" After hanging up the phone, Ka Fei started to regret it a bit. Hadn't she decided to be nice to them? Why did she lose her temper just by looking at him? And those things she had thought through clearly, but as soon as Jian Jian mentioned them, she immediately stuck to her original stance.

  I'm so depressed!

  But still, as the older sister, she took the initiative to contact Zhen Zhen again after a few days. After several careful encounters, the gap between them finally dissipated. Children are easier to coax!

  "Sister! Sister!" Yang Zhen excitedly looked at the QQ avatar, it seemed that his sister still cared about him. The last few times he had lost his temper with her, she still came to find him, naughty sister, previously she didn't even reply to his emails for so long.

  "I saw you left a message on the blog!" Kafi sat in front of the computer eating snacks, it's been busy lately, didn't even have time to contact them, and actually missed them a bit!

  Although it's a bit of an excuse for being mean to Xiao Jin, on the other hand, it also gives me an excuse to be good to them again. I've figured it out, so I can be at ease and be good to them!

  "Did you hear that Moonchild is now organizing seven middle school students to protect Mother River?"

  "Well, we're now planning to organize students to go along the way to residents for publicity. Currently, residents' environmental awareness is generally not strong. We want to take the approach of distributing flyers to advocate for residents to conserve water and ask factories not to discharge untreated water into the river..." Yang Zhen excitedly told his sister about his plan, also hoping to get some support from her, after all, she was very experienced in school activities.

  "What's the situation with environmental policies internationally now? How about Lele's computer skills?"

  "Ah, very good!"

  "You are just simply distributing flyers, calling for action, but the effect is not great. For factories, they pursue profits, and controlling pollution has no benefits to their interests. So relying solely on the moral standards in people's hearts is not enough, consider linking with interests!"

  "En." Yang Zhen carefully remembered and then put forward his own views.

  "Let Lele specialize in a portal website, based on netizens' own voting and selection of Chengdu's green factories, striving to get government support. You choose several factories with better pollution control for contact, binding them to your propaganda, students as the first wave of initiators, this environmental protection activity must be long-term, not just a one-time activity..."

  "This event seems to be too big!"

  "As initiators, you will instill environmental awareness deep into people's hearts. If a small spark can be planted in the hearts of citizens, such activities will become more smooth and successful in the future. Moreover, China is now requiring international connections, and policies in this regard are relatively relaxed. The government will also strongly support it. If we don't seize this opportunity, it would be a pity!"

  "Oh!"

  "I'll get in touch with the Environmental Protection Association at Harvard over here and see if they can help you guys make some connections. If we can get international involvement, it should be easy to get support from the Seventh Ministry and the Chengdu city government! With their backing and publicity, the effect will be much greater than just a few of your students handing out flyers."

  "Yes!" Yang Zhen is now truly convinced of his sister, a small activity can involve international situations, domestic policies, foreign universities, and borrowing momentum, his sister's application in this aspect is pure and perfect!

  "Has the renovation of Nanhe River in Chengdu been completed?"

  "Ah, just finished renovating."

  "Alright, go ahead and plan your event well. If you can take this opportunity to convey the concept of environmental protection to Chengdu citizens, what's not worth it?"

  "Alright, I'll go back and modify my plan immediately!"

  "Le Le, something's up, come out for a bit, 'Fan Tian' is here!" After getting through to his uncle's phone, Yang Zhen pulled Wang Le to 'Fan Tian'.

  Although his brother and sister have left, 'Fan Tian' is still his favorite place to come.

  "Oh!" Wang Le hung up reluctantly.

  Wang Le's daily life is now very simple, waking up at 5:30 every morning, practicing martial arts for an hour and then reciting English for half an hour. Then he goes to school and reads the programming books his sister sent him, although they are all in English, but he has also read a lot in the past six months.

  After school, I practice martial arts for three hours every day. Although I'm fascinated by computers, martial arts is also my favorite thing to do and can't be abandoned. The only thing that has decreased is my sleep time. However, after practicing martial arts, I seem to have more energy, and now five hours of sleep per day is enough.

  He had just participated in a national computer programming competition and had entered the final round. As long as he could get a ranking in the finals, he would be guaranteed admission to Tsinghua University's Computer Science department. At that time, he could play with his computer every day without anyone saying anything about it. Wang Le thought it was extremely wonderful.

  With my brother, I made a BBS on the Internet called "Yanhai Weizhong" and was in charge of the programming forum. The most exciting thing was exchanging programming experiences with the masters of the forum.

  "Brother, what's up?"

  "Help me out!" Yang Zhen told Wang Le in detail about the activity he and his sister had discussed.

  "That's great, no problem, I'll take care of it. I'll find some experts on the forum and leave some less troublesome ones to the school's computer association, they can handle them too." After thinking for a while, Wang Le quickly made arrangements. Although he was still obsessed with computers, he was now both the head of the school sports department and the president of the computer association, so sometimes he had to be responsible to others and couldn't do whatever he wanted like before.

  "By the way, bro, my sister suggested that I take Microsoft and Cisco's computer certification exams. What do you think?"

  "Want to take the exam? Then go take it! What's wrong?"

  "It seems like there are very few people taking these two certifications domestically now, are they useful?"

  "Sister's arrangement will not go wrong? Sister's dormitory is not a girl who is the silver medalist of the National Computer Competition, I guess sister gets a lot of information from her. Now most domestic software development is following foreign countries, you have to learn others' first before developing your own software!"

  "Ugh! Those books are such a hassle, all in English!" Wang Le thought of the all-English books his sister had bought for him before and almost collapsed.

  "Study more, what's the fuss about? Others don't even have such opportunities, at least your English level is not bad now!"

  "Yeah, also, right, my master asked me to sign up for the National Youth Wushu Championship, what do you think?"

  "Why don't you go and discuss it with your second uncle?"

  "Of course I'm in charge of my own affairs!"

  "Do you want to go yourself?"

  "Actually I think it doesn't matter, I practice martial arts for two reasons: one is because of past events and the other is because I like it myself, nothing to do with reading or anything else."

  Wang Le didn't think much of it and had thought about going with others to compete for a higher position.

  "Wow, you've become so carefree and untroubled now, no longer concerned with fame or fortune. You're almost a master!" Yang Zhen teased his younger brother.

  "It's not that, I'm really interested in competing with others, especially those programming masters online, it's really...". Talking about computers, Wang Le became unstoppable, excited to the point of gesticulating.

  "Stop it, stop it! We were talking about you going to participate in the martial arts championship, no."

  "Well, are you saying I should go or not?"

  "Go, of course I'll go. If I can bring back a championship, haha, I'll be the national martial arts champion - brother, haha..." Yang Zhen laughed wildly.

  "Get out!" Wang Le stretched out his hand and pinned his brother to the table, stopping his loud laughter.

  "Stop, stop, I surrender!" Yang Zhen begged for mercy.

  "I really think it's great that you're participating in the martial arts competition, don't you think our country's martial arts influence is getting smaller and smaller globally? And we've always had the impression that people who practice martial arts are all brawn and no brains. But if you can win an award in a martial arts competition and then also win an award in the national computer science competition, of course the computer science award would be yours! Wow, you'd be a true Renaissance man!" Yang Zhen's serious expression left Wang Le stunned.

  "Comrade Wang Le, the burden of revitalizing Chinese martial arts will be left to you from now on... Ah..." Yang Zhen let out a heaven-shaking scream as he was pinned down by his own brother, his neck being choked and his hands pressed against the table.

  "Wang Le, you're too ruthless!" Although it didn't hurt, Yang Zhen still yelled like a ghost. Those who have practiced martial arts are really different, the strength is really great, otherwise he would also go practice martial arts.

  "What are you doing?"

  "What? Moon?" Wang Le hurriedly let go of his hand and pulled Yang Zhen up.

  "Hehe, Moon Sister, Brother Lele is going to participate in the National Martial Arts Championship, do you want to come and take a look too?"

  "Martial arts championship?" Yue Er's eyes lit up immediately.

  "I..." Wang Lejian was about to say that he hadn't made up his mind yet, but was kicked by his brother. "Idiot, can't you see how happy Yue'er is? This is the best opportunity for you two to make up, don't you know?" Yang Zhen whispered to Wang Lejian while Yue'er wasn't paying attention.

  "Oh!"

  Yang Zhen opened his own forum and took a look. Nalan Xun's reputation was still extremely high, and the click-through rate of this forum remained high.

  Yang Zhen himself also followed his sister's path and sent his own manuscripts to many newspapers and magazines such as "China Youth Daily", "Metropolitan Culture Newspaper" and "Editorial". Three of his articles have been published so far. At the same time, Yang Zhen also opened his own blog under the name Ming Yu, writing about his views on current national policies, Chinese education, medical reform and other aspects...

  As blogs are directly linked with forums, it also increases a lot of click-through rates.

  "It seems like in the future, if sister has time, she can ask them to write more articles!"

  Yang Zhen was writing his own article while making this plan.

  "Yang Zhen has eaten!"

  "Wait a minute."

  "Mom has something to tell you."

  "Mom, what's wrong?"

  "Your second aunt has told me several times, her son Yang Ke, your cousin is in junior high school and wants to send him to Chengdu to study. If you have time, help tutor him a bit, Yang Ke's grades." Wang Rongrong gave her son a mouthful of food, looking at his reaction.

  "Yang Ke? He's coming to Chengdu? Staying at our place?"

  "Uh-huh."

  "Whatever. Tutoring, shouldn't be a problem, as long as I have time, mom, nothing's wrong, I'm going to school!" After finishing dinner, Yang Zhen wiped his mouth, now that he had settled down in Chengdu, relatives from both sides had come to rely on him. His father's side of the family was okay, at least they didn't think about taking advantage of their relatives. But his mother's side of the family wasn't so good, this big uncle looked unlikable no matter how you looked at him, and didn't seem like an elder at all. And what about Wang Le's mom, Xiao Jin? Didn't she have a family of her own? What did it mean for her to cling to Chengdu?

  Second uncle, you really brought that woman home?

  Hmph, just wait until I bring that woman's husband and son back to Chengdu, then there will be a good show!

  Yang Zhen already knew some of his sister's arrangements, but he was prepared to be a bystander, and it didn't have much to do with him anyway!

  The only thing to consider is Ke Xing, how can she be kicked out without making a sound? What a pity, No. 7 Middle School doesn't have a last-place elimination system, otherwise, Ke Xing would definitely be gone by the end of this semester.

  "Laura, are you free on Saturday night?"

  "Yes, what's up Jesse?"

  "This weekend, the restaurant I work at has a banquet and something unexpected came up, can you help me cover it?" Among the four girls, Jesse and Laura are closest, while Lona and Karin have too many friends.

  Lona and Karin's family is well-off, the two mainly use their spare time to participate in various club organizations. Kafi is busy studying English to improve her oral English level as soon as possible. Jessie, on the other hand, is the only one of the four girls who needs to go to work, and because of work, she gave up joining the flower sword association with Kafi.

  She now needs someone's help, and there is only Laura left to turn to.

  "About how long will it take? When does it start?"

  "Preparations will probably start around 5 o'clock. A general banquet usually lasts about 2 to 3 hours, and if it includes a dance party, it will probably last for about 4 hours."

  "Alright, I'll go. What's the approximate salary?" Every person's labor is valuable. The Chinese idea of helping others without expecting anything in return doesn't apply here.

  "$18 per hour."

  "Haha, the pay isn't low! Alright, I'll take it."

  It's been over two months since I arrived in the United States, and Kafi still hasn't found a job. Lanchi and my brother have reduced their study pressure and are now looking for work.

  I recall a few days ago when I met with Lance, he mentioned that he was preparing to go work.

  "I chose to study abroad because I wanted to experience a different life, feel the cultural traditions of other countries and enter their social circles. However, when I actually arrived here, I found it was very different from what I had imagined."

  "It's not easy for foreigners to enter their social circle and truly penetrate into their lives!"

  "So I'm going to go find work."

  "To get close and feel the local culture." Kafi added with a smile.

  "Hey, it's so easy talking to you, I say one sentence and you know the next. " Lancy smiled and took a sip of Coke, giving a straightforward compliment, "And what about you? What are you planning to do? Since you know what I want to do, don't you have the same idea?"

  "Not for the time being, I plan to practice well in the club, and there are many activities of Red Cross Friends, often with volunteers, which is quite good for me, and I have contact with people from all walks of life."

  "Oh, that's quite a good club."

  "Yeah, I think the Chinese Students and Scholars Association has some events coming up soon, I saw their email, let's get together after a while, after all we are compatriots."

  "Ah, I should go, it's just that I was really busy before, and now I finally have a bit of time!" Lancy found that his time seemed to be gone again, all scheduled.

  "Haha, brother is really an iron man, with such a tight schedule, he's still been paying attention to the stock market all along."

  "Really? It seems like Kaiyun is more suitable for entrepreneurship than me, but I can't match his spirit!"

  "It's okay, by the way, did you know that Yu Ge sent me a message? The land in Beijing has already made a profit of about 70%, calculate how much money we've made ourselves."

  "Really, wow, it's great, I have money now, can do a lot of things!"

  "It still needs time!"

  Standing in Jesse's position in the banquet hall, with a hint of novelty, Kafi curiously scanned the beautifully decorated banquet hall: snow-white tablecloths, shiny cutlery, and dreamy lighting, as if she was in a movie setting.

  The dinner parties I attend in China are not much different from those at home, except that the style is vastly different.

  Wearing a white work uniform, Kei smiled and maintained her demeanor standing to one side. She recalled the team leader's notice: "No jewelry is allowed during work hours, long hair must be tied back, no high heels are permitted..." In the end, she even added with a smile, "Congratulations," her tone was solemn yet sincere, giving people a mistaken impression that her position wasn't just an ordinary employee, but rather the CEO of some company.

  However, regardless of what, the leader's respect and love for his work are worth learning from. With a hint of excitement, he carefully imitates others' movements. Like other waiters, he splits bread, arranges wine glasses, carves butter into delicate small flowers placed on small plates, and pours milk into a small, exquisite mini teapot. After distributing tableware, gifts, wine barrels, and ice cubes, all the waiters are called to gather in a large conference room.

  A tall figure looked at everyone with a very serious tone, "Today's banquet held in our restaurant is a grand event for Harvard Business School, all participants are well-known entrepreneurs in the United States, you must behave well during the banquet..."

  A jumbled mess of words, Ke Fei listened with a bewildered expression, curiously glancing at the girl beside him, "What kind of party did she say it was tonight?"

  "Alumni of Harvard Business School return to campus for a class reunion..."

  "Oh, what an assembly of elites!"

  There will be 1 guest, 10 leaders and 60 waitresses at the banquet. All of them are divided into groups of 10 people each.

  Everything is ready, all the waiters are lined up to welcome the guests who are about to arrive. Watching the guests in evening dress walk in with a smile on their faces, waving or posing for photos under the flashing lights, Ke Fei always feels a sense of novelty, as before it was always herself wearing a dress and smiling as she walked in, being served by waiters who had been waiting for her, today the situation is reversed, and it's really a fresh experience for herself!

  At 7 o'clock in the evening, the banquet began.

  For such a high-spec dinner party, the dining program is very strict, following the order of appetizer, soup, main course, dessert, coffee...

  For Ka Fei, who has attended such banquets, the thing he is most dissatisfied with abroad is probably the food. The monotonous food, simple dishes, and Chinese cuisine are simply incomparable. Alas, it's extremely difficult to get a taste of authentic Chinese food.

  However, the dessert at the banquet is worth mentioning, especially when it was pushed out of the kitchen, the scene was spectacular: a nearly two-meter-high frame, each layer with two crossed cruciforms, all hanging with four plates of desserts, snow-white ceramic plates, set off against red and white desserts, from afar, it looked like a beautiful fruit tree, no matter how you look at it, it's delightful, and you can't bear to eat it, afraid of destroying such a beautiful picture.

  Dessert is over, coffee is served, after coffee is over, it's time for wine and dance.

  Kafi slightly gathered her things, preparing to leave. The ball didn't need so many waitresses anymore. She had also seen Western-style banquets and saw quite a few celebrities among the arriving guests. However, it was strange that Kafi didn't have any urge to get acquainted or introduce herself, perhaps because her current identity was just a waitress.

  As a waitress, you should do what a waitress is supposed to do!

  Play the right role in the right occasion, this is a lesson that Harvard people give themselves after coming to Harvard.

  You can be proud and arrogant, but don't forget your own main job at any time and anywhere!

  A little disappointed, a little regretful. If I weren't a waitress, I wouldn't have the qualifications to set foot in here, which means this place doesn't belong to me yet, at least not to my immature self.

  But one day, I will also be able to step in here as a guest!

  Put away his own loss, Kaifi left quietly, accepting the reality that he was now just an insignificant person in America.

  Going abroad is a kind of mental exercise. I recall the Chinese painter I met in Central Park, USA, who surprisingly was a graduate of China Central Academy of Fine Arts and made a living by selling paintings in the US.

  "When you arrive at university, you must learn to adjust your mindset. University is where the top students from all over the country gather, and just because you were outstanding in high school doesn't mean you'll be equally outstanding in university. Calm down and focus on studying, don't envy others for their achievements and applause. When you achieve something one day, you will naturally have your own flowers and applause..."

  When I entered university in my previous life, the words of the counselor suddenly appeared in my mind. Actually, these principles are all interconnected!

  It's the same in America, no one will know you're Lin Kaifei, no one will worship you, no one will admire you, everything you want to get must be fought for by yourself...

  Fortunately, I have strong adaptability!

  Kafi smiled and encouraged herself, loudly reciting the poem she had just read.

  "Learn courage in struggle."

  Fear difficulties/Acquaint yourself with difficulties in a stubborn way

  Difficult / This is a stupid and timid thing.

  Difficulty reduced by one point/Happiness will be extended by a few inches...
