1417. Winter Torch (2/5)
Qin Shiou did not stay to attend the celebration dinner arranged by Bombardier. Chagunis wanted to introduce him to some wealthy people in Quebec. Qin Shiou declined: "This month is too busy, buddy. May I visit them again when I have a chance? I think I You have to go back quickly."
Chagunis has all sorts of good feelings for him now. Qin Shiou said so, so he didn't force him to stay, and arranged a Global 2000 to send them back to the fishing ground.
Back at the fishing ground, the sky began to snow again. Qin Shiou looked at the gloomy clouds and sighed: "It seems that there will be no less snow this year."
When they got off the plane, it just started to snow. Qin Shiou walked to the villa and saw several teenagers busy carrying some cotton coats on the sleigh into the house.
The sleigh was full of cotton-padded clothes, big and small, men's and women's styles. Seeing this, Qin Shiou smiled and asked, "Hey, hunters, do you want to start the cotton-padded clothes business?"
Shirley looked at him with wide eyes, and asked in surprise: "Hi, Qin, are you back?"
Qin Shiou shrugged and said, "Of course, but you haven't answered my question yet. Are you going to do cotton-padded clothes business?"
Shirley patted the padded clothes and said a little excitedly: "No, our school has organized a Christmas charity event. This weekend we will go to the streets of St. Johns to distribute cotton padded clothes to the homeless."
Qin Shiou nodded and said, "It's a good event. You have already got so many cotton clothes? It's really surprising. Where did you get them?"
Schools in Newfoundland often organize various love activities and pay great attention to cultivating children's love and moral character. He thinks this is very good. It is better than holding classes for children in China.
"Part of it was given to us by the uncles in the fishing ground, and part of it was collected from the town at our expense. You see, there are still down jackets not worn here. We took them back at a low price." Shirley He raised his head proudly and said, like a little swan.
Qin Shiou smiled and said, "Are you rich? Do you need my support?"
Shirley shook her little hand and said, "It's not necessary. We haven't spent much of the money we earned during the summer vacation. Plus the pocket money that Grandpa Ao usually gives us, we are enough."
In this way, Qin Shiou had to support the activities of the teenagers in other ways. He went upstairs to rummage through the cabinets, found some thick clothes such as down jackets and cotton-padded jackets of his own, and gave them to these teenagers.
Shirley came up to help. When he saw the thick clothes, he threw them out, but Qin Shiou was heartbroken: "Hey,
Sweetheart, this is an Arc'teryx dress. I bought it last year and I only wore it twice. "
"That's right, you don't usually wear it, you only wear it twice a year, you sure don't like it?" Shirley cleaned up diligently, "Then it's better to let it help those who need it more people."
Qin Shiou sighed: "I'm the one who needs it!"
He had just packed it up for a post-Christmas trip to Greenland, and it turned out to be cheap for the bums in St. Johns.
But in the afternoon, Qin Shiou didn't feel distressed anymore. Because Shaq came to his son in a huff, yelling, "Little brat, where the hell is my Burberry trench coat? I got a shelt. What did you do to it?"
Little Shaq said as a matter of course: "You don't wear those clothes at all. After your mother bought them for you, you kept throwing them under the box."
Shaq roared: "I am not willing to wear it! The clothes cost two thousand yuan, two thousand yuan, two thousand yuan!"
Burberry, like Arc'teryx, is a world famous brand. The pieces are worth a fortune.
After Shaq, the sea monster also came over. Qin Shiou looked at him with pity and said, "Look for your cotton coat?"
The sea monster shook his head, gritted his teeth, and said, "It's not just cotton clothes? There are also snow boots, cotton gloves, scarves, leather hats, damn it, these are the ones I wore when I planned to go to the North Pole, and they disappeared as soon as I packed them up. !"
Finally, the bong came, and Lawrence looked at him aggrievedly and said, "Dad, the clothes I took away were old clothes that were not in the basement, and you said before that you would throw them away."
Smoking Gun whispered, "I know, dear, you tell me where the clothes are, I'll go find something in my pocket - my god daddy, I've been stashing my money for a year, it's all in those damn rotten clothes Lia!"
These old clothes still need to be washed and dried. In the next two days, the washing machines and dryers in the fishing ground were requisitioned by teenagers, and a large pile of cotton clothes quickly piled up in the fishing ground.
On the weekend, Qin Shiou drove a carload of padded clothes in Picara and got on the ferry. This activity is a parent-child activity. As a guardian, he has to participate, or else it is Papa Auerbach, and Papa is not suitable to go out in such a snowy day .
The weather is not good, the snow has been falling for the past few days, and the howling sea wind is rampant in St. Johns, freezing the children and parents into partridges in the rain.
In this event, teenagers tied these cotton coats to telephone poles, and then provided them to homeless people or those in need for free use.
From outside the pier, the parents' cars split up and began searching for power poles.
Qin Shiou went out to help, he tied a dark brown down jacket to the lamppost, his flesh hurt unceasingly, this clothes was the Archeopteryx he donated, it was 1500 yuan.
After he was done, Shirley hung a little tag on it that read: Honey, I'm not a lost item, and if you're stuck outside right now and it's cold, put me on for warmth (sun smiley face).
Seeing the handwritten words on the label, Qin Shiou felt that his heart was not so distressed, the children did a good job.
It was really too cold. After the cold wind blew for a while, Qin Shiou took the teenagers into a fast food restaurant to drink hot drinks.
When the owner of the fast food restaurant saw the clothes on their car, he asked them if they were here to participate in the "Winter Torch" project. Only then did Qin Shiou know that it was not the Grant Elementary School that organized the event, but several St. Johns schools. Elementary school teamed up.
Knowing that they were here for a charity event, the boss generously gave them free bills. In addition, he also gave the teenagers a stack of vouchers, each of which is five Canadian dollars, which can be exchanged for two in his store. Burger and a hot drink.
"Let those poor people have clothes to wear and a good meal at the same time." The boss with a big belly smiled.
The teenagers went up to hug him one by one. Qin Shiou admired the behavior of the fast food restaurant owner. This country is like this. It is not a paradise, but if you look hard, you can find moving things every day.
When they acted again later, the owner of a hardware supermarket sent them some small candles, saying: "These candles are very durable and have strong windproof ability. I hope they can help people who need them." (unfinished to be continued..)
