Daddy Academy

Chapter 3323 Doing Charity

Chapter 3323 Doing Charity

The setting sun bathed the Little Red Pony Academy's courtyard in a warm golden hue, making it impossible to tell that it had been pouring rain the night before.

Everyone was worried about the Firefly Farm. As evening approached, the first thing they did after arriving at Little Red Pony Academy was to run to the vegetable garden to check on the situation, concerned that the seedlings might be drowned by the heavy rain.

Fortunately, the bad situation did not occur; instead, the seedlings grew vigorously and were lush and green.

Everyone was surprised and asked Xiaobai questions.

"No rainbow without rain!" Xiaobai summarized it in one sentence. "The seedlings are not afraid of wind and rain. We should learn from them, be strong and brave, and not be afraid of difficulties. There are always more solutions than problems!"

Xiaobai's chicken soup was very effective. After drinking it, the children were all like they had been injected with chicken blood, and they all shouted that they wanted to be brave and strong children!

Then, the sound of Guawazi and Liuliu arguing rang out in the yard. And it wasn't just one Guawazi arguing, but several, who were quickly gathering and soon a large group of Guawazi had surrounded them, all of them excitedly shouting at Liuliu.

At first, Liuliu was fearless and could argue with the group of kids, but as more and more of them came, she got thirsty and realized she couldn't fight them all. So she made an excuse and quickly ran away from this troublesome place.

"Why is everyone acting like they're on steroids today? It's infuriating!"

Liu Liu grumbled indignantly. She had only just arrived when she was caught and argued with, accused of bullying children!

Honestly! She's been bullying kids for years, and now everyone's only finding out?

Back in the classroom, Liu Liu wandered around and spotted Xiao Bai and a few others in the reading corner.

She moved closer, and Xiaobai gestured for her to sit down: "I have something to discuss with you."

Liu Liu sat down next to her, pretending to be busy: "I'm so busy today, what's up?"

Xiao Bai said, "Then you go ahead and get busy. Come over when you have time. I'll discuss it with someone else."

"Hey kid, we're such good friends, no matter how busy I am, I'll always make time to talk to you, haha~~"

Xiao Bai snorted coldly, "This kid just loves to put on airs."

After all her girlfriends arrived, Xiaobai began to discuss the things they needed to talk about that evening.

She initiated the discussion, which mainly focused on how to handle the donations generated from the online live stream a few days ago.

"Xiaobai, do you think we really have that much money?"

Liu Liu had mixed feelings, on one hand disbelief, and on the other hand, she was overjoyed.

Xiao Bai lay on the table, intently looking at the phone screen, which displayed the backend data of the live streaming platform: "My dad said the tips are seven figures, and this also shows seven figures."

What is a seven-digit number?

Robin crawled out from under the table, her hair still covered in dirt. She had just gone to patrol the vegetable garden again, mainly to prevent any silly kids from causing trouble.

Liu Liu counted on her fingers: "Ones, tens, hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands... Seven digits is over a million!"

"Wow--"

Everyone was amazed.

Xi'er leaned closer to look at the screen and whispered, "We should use this money wisely."

That's why everyone's gathered here.

Xiao Bai sat up straight, cleared his throat, and said like a little meeting host, "Didn't we agree before? This money will be divided into three parts: one part will be donated to the firefly protection project, one part will be given to Chengcheng as a creative fund, and the rest will be used to buy books for children in mountainous areas."

Liu Liu rarely showed hesitation: "But... how do we donate? Do we just give them money directly? If we divide it up, will we become rich? Hehehe~~"

Dudu said, "Liuliu, don't think about it. This money isn't for us to enjoy."

Liu Liu laughed and said, "Hey, I was just joking."

"Of course, it's not about giving money directly!"

Xiao Bai pulled a piece of paper out of her pocket. On it was a preliminary plan that she and Zhang Tan had come up with together: "Doing charity requires a plan; you can't just give money away randomly."

Xi'er curiously leaned over to look: "Xiao Bai, have you finished writing? Why didn't you call me?"

Xiao Bai nodded and pointed to the contents of the paper, saying, "You went home then. First, there's the firefly conservation project. We're going to contact Researcher Aunt Chen and ask if her institute has a dedicated conservation fund. My dad said we can designate the money for research on firefly habitat protection or for purchasing monitoring equipment."

"Wow, that's so professional!" Dudu exclaimed.

Xiaobai continued, "Secondly, there's Chengcheng's creative fund."

She looked at Chengcheng and said earnestly, "Chengcheng, we want to use this money to help you set up a small creative fund. You can use it to buy the reference books you need, or if you want to publish more books in the future, it can be used as part of the publishing costs."

Chengcheng's eyes widened slightly. She opened her mouth as if to say something, but in the end, she only whispered, "Thank you."

Liuliu immediately replied, "You're welcome! Chengcheng's stories are so wonderful, we all love listening to them!"

Xiaomi added, "And your book sells so well that the publisher has reprinted it. This shows that people like your story, so we want to support you to continue writing."

Xi'er laughed and said, "When Chengcheng becomes a great writer, we can say that we are great writers' good friends!"

Robin jumped around, and hiahia laughed.

Xiao Bai continued, "Finally, we'll use the remaining money to buy books for the children in the mountains."

This topic sparked a heated discussion.

What books should I buy?

Xiao Weiwei joined the discussion at some point, and she always managed to appear at the "news scene" in time.

Robin was the first to raise his hand: "Storybooks! Chengcheng's storybooks are great!"

Although she is of low status and has little influence, she likes to speak up.

Dudu nodded, then shook her head: "Children in mountainous areas may have poor learning conditions, shouldn't we buy some supplementary teaching materials? For example, math and Chinese..."

Liuliu immediately expressed her disapproval: "That would be so boring. Studying is already hard enough. If even extracurricular books are textbooks, that would be so meaningless."

Xiaomi thought about it and felt that what Liuliu said wasn't entirely wrong, so she said, "Then we can buy both kinds, including books that help with learning, as well as storybooks and comic books that can help us relax."

Xi'er said, "There are also popular science books! About animals and plants, like the firefly knowledge that researcher Aunt Chen told us."

Xiao Bai nodded and said, "Where is Xiwa? Write it all down!"

Then he said, "My father has contacted a non-profit organization that specializes in promoting reading among rural children. We can donate the money to them, and they will help us select suitable books and deliver them to schools in mountainous areas."

"Xi'er pressed on, "Then can we find out where these books were sent? Can we see the children who received them?"

This question hits the nail on the head. As expected of my sister who works in charity, she has been with Xiwawa for so many years and has learned a thing or two from her.

Xiao Bai replied confidently, "Sure! The charity will give us regular feedback, telling us which schools the books have been delivered to, how many children have received them, and they can even help deliver our letters!"

Liuliu got excited: "Write letters? We can write letters to the children in the mountains?"

Xiao Bai affirmed, "Of course! We can each write a letter and put it in the book. We can introduce our fireflies, our farm, and share Chengcheng's story..."

This proposal excited everyone.

Liu Liu proudly declared, "I can write Braille letters!"

Xiao Bai said speechlessly, "They don't understand Braille, so they won't know what it means even if you write it down."

At this moment, Robin had already begun to conceive the contents of the letter in his mind: "I want to tell them that we planted watermelons, peppers, tomatoes... and when they bear fruit in the summer, I will take pictures to show them!"

Xiaomi said, "I can write down some study tips. Although I may not be as good as them, we can exchange ideas."

Dudu said, "I want to tell them that it's not scary to encounter difficulties in life. As long as you are brave and persevere, you will win! Just like our vegetable garden, although we encountered pests, we worked together to overcome them!"

Xiao Bai exclaimed, "That's wonderful! This way, we're not just donating money and goods, but having a real exchange! We can become pen pals, and during the summer vacation, we can invite them to visit Little Red Horse, take them on a trip to Pujiang, and visit the Natural History Museum, the Science and Technology Museum, and the Cultural Center..."
