Rebirth of Love: Jiang Ciyou's Counterattack Legend

After all the supplies were prepared, Jiang Ciyou and Lu Jingchen decided to go to the mountainous area to deliver the donated supplies in person. The night before departure, Jiang Ciyou lay in bed, but tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep. The eyes of the children eager for knowledge in the news reports kept appearing in her mind, and she was excited and a little nervous. She turned over gently and looked at Lu Jingchen who was sleeping beside her. The moonlight shone on his face through the window, outlining his tough outline, and Jiang Ciyou felt a warm feeling in her heart. This man always gave the most firm support behind every decision she made. She reached out and gently stroked Lu Jingchen's cheek, secretly vowing to bring more hope to the children in the mountains.

Lu Jingchen seemed to sense something, and in his sleep he held Jiang Ciyou's hand, mumbling a few indistinct words in his sleep, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, as if he was having a sweet dream. Jiang Ciyou smiled knowingly and gradually fell asleep.

The next morning, before the sun completely dispelled the morning mist, Jiang Ciyou and Lu Jingchen got up early. After a simple wash, they checked the donated materials again to make sure nothing was missed. Lu Jingchen moved boxes full of books and stationery to the car one by one. He was so tired that his forehead was covered with sweat, but his eyes were full of excitement and anticipation. Jiang Ciyou carefully checked the list and reminded Lu Jingchen to be careful not to break anything.

Everything was ready, and they set out on the road to the mountains. The car slowly drove out of the city, and the tall buildings were gradually left behind, replaced by rolling hills and endless fields. At first, the road was relatively flat, and Jiang Ciyou looked at the scenery outside the window, feeling particularly comfortable. She opened the car window, and the breeze blew across her cheeks, bringing the fragrance of soil and grass. She closed her eyes and enjoyed this gift from nature. While driving, Lu Jingchen would turn his head from time to time to look at Jiang Ciyou, his eyes full of pampering. He reached out to turn on the car stereo and played a soothing light music, and the atmosphere in the car became more and more warm.

However, as the car went deeper into the mountains, the road conditions became worse and worse. The rugged mountain road was winding and bumpy, and the car was shaking violently, like a boat sailing on a rough sea. Jiang Ciyou clutched the armrest in the car tightly, her face was a little pale, and her stomach began to churn. Lu Jingchen noticed her discomfort, and hurriedly stopped the car on the side of the road, and asked with concern: "Youyou, how are you? Are you carsick?" Jiang Ciyou nodded weakly, and Lu Jingchen got out of the car immediately, walked around to the passenger seat, opened the door, and helped Jiang Ciyou get out of the car. He patted Jiang Ciyou on the back gently, handed her a bottle of water, and said gently: "Drink some water and take it easy, we are not in a hurry." Jiang Ciyou drank a few sips of water and felt better. She looked at Lu Jingchen's anxious eyes, her heart was full of emotion, and she said with discomfort: "I'm fine, let's keep going, the children are still waiting for us."

Lu Jingchen hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded and helped Jiang Ciyou back to the car. After getting back on the road, he slowed down the car and tried to drive it more smoothly. Jiang Ciyou leaned back in the seat, closed his eyes and rested, but his determination to do something for the children became stronger.

After several hours of arduous trekking, they finally saw the dilapidated mountain primary school in the distance. The school was located in a valley, with several simple tiled houses arranged in an orderly manner. The white plaster on the walls had peeled off, revealing mottled bricks and stones. There was a small playground on the campus, with uneven ground. The so-called basketball stand was just two crooked wooden sticks with a dilapidated iron ring tied on top.

The car slowly approached the school, and Jiang Ciyou saw from afar that the children had already lined up at the school gate. They were dressed in simple, even shabby clothes, their faces were flushed by the wind, but their eyes were shining with curiosity and expectation. When the car stopped, the children excitedly whispered to each other, their eyes full of longing for the outside world. Jiang Ciyou's eyes suddenly moistened, and she quickly opened the car door and got out.

The principal had been waiting by the side. He was a middle-aged man over 50 years old, with some gray hair and a face full of vicissitudes of life, but his eyes were full of determination and enthusiasm. Seeing Jiang Ciyou and Lu Jingchen, the principal excitedly stepped forward, shook their hands tightly with both hands, and said in a trembling voice: "Welcome, kind people! The children have been looking forward to seeing you for a long time. Thank you for your hard work along the way!" Jiang Ciyou hurriedly said: "Principal, you are welcome. This is what we should do. Seeing the children, all our hard work along the way is worth it."

Lu Jingchen also got out of the car and exchanged a few words with the principal, then he and Jiang Ciyou opened the trunk together and prepared to move the donated materials. When the children saw the car full of books, stationery and teaching equipment, their eyes lit up with surprise and they gathered around. A little boy timidly pulled the corner of Jiang Ciyou's clothes and asked in a low voice: "Auntie, are these for us?" Jiang Ciyou squatted down, gently touched the little boy's head, smiled and said: "Yes, baby, these are all for you. I hope you can study hard, get out of the mountains in the future, and see the wider world outside." The little boy nodded vigorously, his eyes full of determination.

Led by the principal, they began to move supplies. Lu Jingchen went back and forth between the car and the classroom again and again, exhausted and out of breath, but with a smile on his face all the time. Jiang Ciyou followed the principal into the classroom, ready to distribute books to the children. Walking into the classroom, a stale smell hit me. There were dozens of worn-out tables and chairs in the classroom, with potholes on the tabletops. Some even had a leg missing and could only be propped up with bricks. There were several yellowed certificates on the wall, which were a testimony to the children's hard work. Seeing this, Jiang Ciyou's eyes became wet again. She secretly blamed herself in her heart, why she didn't discover the plight of these children earlier, why she didn't do something for them earlier.

She held back her tears and placed the books neatly on the podium with the principal. At this time, the children returned to the classroom one after another. They sat quietly in their seats, but their eyes never left the brand new books. Jiang Ciyou picked up a book, walked among the children, and said softly: "Students, from today on, you will have more books to read. Knowledge can change your destiny. I hope you can swim in the ocean of books and absorb more nutrition, okay?" The children answered in unison: "Yes!" The loud voice echoed in the classroom, as if it was their declaration to the future.

On the other side, Lu Jingchen was busy installing teaching equipment with the teachers. He skillfully opened the packaging box of the electronic whiteboard, carefully read the instructions, and installed it step by step. The teachers helped pass the tools on the side, their eyes full of novelty and expectation. After some effort, the electronic whiteboard was finally installed. Lu Jingchen debugged it, and the picture was clearly displayed on the screen. The teachers gathered around and were amazed. They knew that these devices would open a door to a new world of knowledge for the children.

During the break, Jiang Ciyou and Lu Jingchen came to the playground and played games with the children. The children were like a group of cheerful birds, surrounding them, and their laughter filled the entire playground. Jiang Ciyou suggested playing the game of eagle catching chickens, and the children immediately responded with cheers and joy. She volunteered to be the hen, opened her arms, and protected the "chickens" behind her. Lu Jingchen acted as the eagle, deliberately showing his teeth and claws, making the children laugh. During the game, Jiang Ciyou accidentally fell and scraped his knee. The children immediately gathered around, their faces full of concern. A little girl carefully took out a handkerchief from her pocket and handed it to Jiang Ciyou, saying in a baby voice: "Auntie, does it hurt? Use this to wipe it." Jiang Ciyou took the handkerchief and was deeply moved. She gently stroked the little girl's face and said: "Auntie doesn't hurt, thank you, baby." Lu Jingchen also hurried over to check Jiang Ciyou's injuries, his eyes full of heartache. Jiang Ciyou smiled and said to him, "I'm really fine, don't worry."

At that moment, looking at the innocent smiles of the children, feeling their kindness and simplicity, Jiang Ciyou and Lu Jingchen knew that they would continue on this path of public welfare unswervingly and light up the light of hope for these children. They seemed to see the future of these children, who would thrive under the nourishment of knowledge, walk out of the mountains, and pursue their own dreams. And they were willing to be the guides on the road to the children's dreams, to protect them from wind and rain with love, and to accompany them all the way.

The sun gradually set, and the afterglow sprinkled on the campus, covering the entire school with a golden coat. Jiang Ciyou and Lu Jingchen knew that it was time to say goodbye. They hugged the children one by one, and the children's eyes were full of reluctance, and some even cried. Jiang Ciyou's tears could not stop flowing, and she choked and said: "Children, don't be sad, aunt and uncle will come to see you again. You must study hard, understand?" The children nodded vigorously.

The car slowly drove away from the school. Jiang Ciyou and Lu Jingchen looked out the car window and watched the children, led by the principal, waving goodbye to them until the shadow of the school completely disappeared from their sight. They couldn't calm down for a long time. This day's trip to the mountains made them feel so touched. These children are like unpolished jade. Although they live in a difficult environment, their hearts are full of longing for a better future. Jiang Ciyou leaned on Lu Jingchen's shoulder and whispered, "Jingchen, we must do more for them." Lu Jingchen gripped the steering wheel and nodded firmly, "Yes, we must."

After returning home, Jiang Ciyou and Lu Jingchen were still immersed in the memories of their trip to the mountains. They sorted out the photos taken that day, and their hearts were filled with warmth when they saw the innocent smiles of the children in the photos. Jiang Ciyou decided to print out these photos and hang them in the study to remind herself and Lu Jingchen that there are so many children who need their help. Lu Jingchen sat in front of the computer and began to search for more information about education in the mountainous areas. He wanted to know what areas needed improvement and which children needed funding. They knew that this was just the beginning and that the road to public welfare in the future was still long, but they were not afraid because they had love in their hearts and a commitment to those children.

At night, Jiang Ciyou lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep. The images of the children in the mountainous areas kept appearing in her mind. She was thinking about what gifts to bring to the children the next time she went there, and how to better help them improve their academic performance. Lu Jingchen seemed to see through her thoughts, and gently embraced her in his arms, saying softly: "Don't think too much, Youyou, let's take it slow. As long as we work hard, the children will definitely get better and better." Jiang Ciyou nodded in Lu Jingchen's arms, and her heart gradually calmed down. Accompanied by the moonlight, they fell asleep with their concern for the children in the mountainous areas. In their dreams, they had a hopeful future for the children.
