Chapter 3324 Discussion on Sharing

As night fell, the group of girlfriends sat together to continue discussing the more detailed plans.

Liuliu suggested, "I can manage the money. I'm good at math and I can remember every penny clearly."

Xiao Bai laughed loudly: "You're the one the math teacher dislikes the most! Because you're bad at math."

Liuliu retorted, "You're talking nonsense!"

Xiao Bai said, "I can't let you manage the money, otherwise the money will only decrease."

Robin laughed heartily.

Liu Liu said, "Money is meant to be used, so of course it will decrease over time!"

Xiaomi interrupted their argument and suggested, "We need to keep a ledger, and record exactly how every penny is spent."

Xiao Bai agreed: "Yes! Openness and transparency will put the people who donate money at ease, instead of letting someone manage the money."

Xi'er suddenly thought of a question and asked, "Then... should we tell the uncles, aunts, sisters, and brothers in the live stream how this money is specifically used?"

This question has given everyone pause for thought.

Liu Liu's eyes darted around: "We can do another live stream! We can report on how the funds are used, and then everyone will continue to tip us. We'll report again, tip again, it'll be endless, hahaha~ Robin, you're going to be rich!"

This brilliant strategist discovered a new way to make money.

Robin, bewildered, burst into laughter, looking completely clueless.

Dudu said with exasperation, "Liuliu, can't you be serious for once? Don't go down the wrong path."

Xiao Bai said, "We can use half of Liu Liu's suggestion, which is to report on the use of funds via live stream. However, we need to wait until everything is arranged. We need to finalize our contact with Researcher Chen and the non-profit organization, and finalize the specific plan for purchasing books before we can report to everyone."

"How long will it take?"

Robin tilted his head, seized the opportunity to ask a question, and made his presence known.

Xiao Bai estimated: "It will take about two or three weeks, because we need to contact all parties, confirm the details, and wait for the charity organization to arrange the time to deliver the books."

"Hehe, it takes so long!" Robin stuck out her tongue like a little puppy, overjoyed. She hadn't expected her aunt to answer her question so seriously. She felt like she was being treated like a big kid, and it felt wonderful.

Dudu said, "It's okay! It's okay if it takes a little longer. Good things take time! Good things should be done slowly so that they can last."

Xi'er exclaimed, "Dudu, you know so much!"

Just then, Zhang Tan pushed the door open and came in, holding a stack of documents: "How did the discussion go?"

Xiao Bai reported their discussion results to Zhang Tan in detail.

After listening, Zhang Tan nodded in satisfaction: "Very good, very thoughtful. I've also made progress on my end. I've made preliminary contact with the institute where Researcher Chen works. They have an urban firefly habitat conservation project and would very much welcome our donation."

Zhang Tan continued, "Researcher Chen also said that if you would like, she can take you to visit their laboratory and see how firefly research is conducted."

"Wow—" Everyone exclaimed in amazement. They had been wanting to visit the firefly research lab for a long time. They imagined it would be filled with fireflies dancing in the sky, like a sky full of stars...

Zhang Tan continued, "As for the charity organizations, I asked your sister Jin'er to contact them. She has already reached out to the 'Starlight Reading Project,' which specializes in setting up reading corners in schools in remote mountainous areas. The person in charge was very moved when they heard about your idea and said they would definitely do a good job."

Xi'er's eyes sparkled as she asked, "Godfather, is their name really 'Starlight Reading Project'? It sounds just like Chengcheng's story!"

Chengcheng also raised her head, a glint of light flashing in her eyes.

Zhang Tan nodded: "That's right, it's such a coincidence. Their slogan is 'Every book is a star, illuminating the child's night sky,' which is similar to Chengcheng's 'Stars in the Telephone.'"

This wonderful coincidence evoked a warm sense of resonance in everyone.

"Also, these are photos of the 'Starlight Reading Project' setting up reading corners in some mountain schools. You can take a look." Zhang Tan took out several photos from the folder.

Everyone immediately gathered around.

In the photo, in a simple classroom, children sit around a small bookshelf, each holding a book and beaming with bright smiles.

Although the classroom walls were mottled and the desks and chairs were old, the focused expressions of those reading were particularly touching.

Dudu pointed to one of the photos and said, "I have the same book that the child in the photo is looking at!"

Xiaomi said softly, "Their classrooms are so old... but the bookshelves are new and clean."

Xi'er stared at the photo for a long time, then suddenly said, "I think they look very happy."

Xiao Bai nodded, a complex emotion welling up inside her, and said, "This shows that our donation is even more meaningful!"

Robin immediately raised his little hand and said, "Auntie, I can donate all my storybooks to them."

Liuliu agreed: "I can also donate all the books in my house."

Xi'er laughed and said, "Liuliu, do you want to donate your textbooks too?"

Liu Liu laughed heartily, offering no rebuttal; that was exactly what she thought.

Zhang Tan smiled and summarized, "So, in the next few weeks, what we need to do is implement the plan step by step. This may require some patience, but we must take each step steadily."

Xiao Bai said, "We're not afraid! This is a very meaningful thing, and we must do it seriously!"

Xiaomi nodded: "As long as it can help everyone, it doesn't matter if it takes a little longer."

Xi'er said, "We can think more and try to help more children."

Liu Liu said, "We can also do live streaming in the future to earn more tips for the children in the mountains."

Dudu said, "We can't always think about making money through live streaming. That's other people's money. We have to earn it ourselves."

……

Everyone chimed in with their own comments, creating a lively discussion.

Zhang looked at them with satisfaction. They might not fully understand the profound meaning of the word "public welfare," but they had already demonstrated what sharing and care meant through their actions.

Outside the window, night was deepening, and the lanterns of Little Red Horse Academy were lit one by one. Inside the classroom, the children's discussion about how to best use the reward money continued.

Their voices were young yet firm, like seedlings in early spring, delicate yet containing the power of growth.

Chengcheng closed her notebook and whispered to Xiaobai, "I want to write a fairy tale about sharing in the stories I give to children in mountainous areas."

"A fairy tale about sharing?" Little White asked curiously.

Liu Liu envisions: "I know about sharing. What I love to do most is share. For example, if I have an apple, I can give you a bite, give Dudu a bite, and give Xiaobai half a bite... If I have a watermelon, I will cut it into ten pieces, and everyone can have a piece. If I have 100 yuan, I will treat everyone to a meal, and after the meal, we will go for a pediatric massage... I have a say in sharing!"

Xi'er nodded in agreement, "Liuliu is right. We can share our happy moments. One person's happiness can spread to many people, and everyone will be happy. We can also share our sadness, so that we won't feel so sad."

Chengcheng nodded, her eyes sparkling with creative inspiration: "You're all right. The fairy tale I'm thinking of sharing is about how one beam of light becomes many beams of light, how one joy becomes many joys, and how one sadness becomes less sad."

Xiaomi laughed: "Just like our firefly farm! Everyone plants together, harvests together, and eats together!"

Xiao Bai chimed in, "Just like these books, we buy them to give to children in mountainous areas. After they read them, the joy in the stories will be passed on."

Liuliu said with unusual seriousness, "I think what we are doing is a great story in itself."

Robin jumped up and down, shouting, "Yes! Whatever Auntie says or does is right!"
