"Knock knock", there was a notification sound in the WeChat group, and I quickly opened my phone to take a look. My message notification has shown 99+, and it turns out that the high school classmates group is full of messages! I quickly clicked into the high school group and found that it was the class president who was organizing everyone to donate.
The class leader sent such a message: "Students, Li Qiang's wife has a cerebral hemorrhage and is in a critical moment, and the cost of hospitalization is quite high. I hope everyone can lend a hand and give love together, and donate 600 yuan per person to help Li Qiang tide over the difficulties! "Looking at the class leader's WeChat, bits and pieces of our high school days pop up in my mind.
I attended a prestigious high school in the county, which was the top school in the county. In the 90s, students who were able to be admitted to county high schools were already quite good grades. In those days, students with slightly better grades could be admitted to secondary schools or technical secondary schools, and after graduation, they were assigned jobs and became members of the state support. And those of us who did not reach the level of middle school or high school had to choose to continue our studies in high school.
After spending three years in high school, my classmates actually did quite well. At that time, many students in our class were admitted to universities and technical secondary schools. Of our 50 classmates, 35 chose to work within the system. Although the other 15 students did not choose jobs in the system, their living conditions were quite good. Some students have achieved success through business, and even better off than some students in the system!
Recently, the class leader posted a message about donations, but everyone in the group remained silent. I suspect it may be because after three years of the pandemic, everyone's funds are a little tight. It's okay to donate, but the problem is that I don't know how much to donate. I myself am an employee of the system, and I understand that our economic situation in recent years has indeed been worse than before. So I'm thinking about how much other students donate, and then I decide how much I donate.
I noticed that no one seemed to be taking a stand, so I had a private chat with my best friend in high school, Wei Jia. I asked her how much she was going to donate. She told me that her life is difficult right now. She has elderly people in her family as well as young children. A few years ago, she gave birth to her second child, the eldest still in high school, and the younger one in preschool. It was time to use the money, but her husband was laid off, and now she can only rely on temporary workers to make ends meet. She admits that her family is really short of money at present, and even needs donations from others to tide over the difficulties.
Seeing Wei Jia say this, I decided to chat with my classmate Li Yuanmei privately. I have some understanding of Li Yuanmei's family situation, she and her husband are both employees in the system, and both her parents-in-law have pensions, and the economic conditions are relatively good.
I asked Li Yuanmei how much she planned to donate. After a while, Li Yuanmei replied to me. She said: "Orchid, you are really a little stupid, don't you know the relationship between Li Qiang and the squad leader?" They have a very good relationship, they are almost inseparable! That's why the squad leader called on everyone to donate in the group, in fact, to help him raise money for Li Qiang. ”
After listening to Li Yuanmei's reminder, I suddenly realized the close relationship between the class president and Li Qiang, which reminded me of some scenes from high school.
In high school, the class president and Li Qiang had a deep friendship and seemed to be inseparable good brothers. I still remember when I was in the second year of high school, there was a fire at the class leader's house, and Li Qiang conveyed the news to us as soon as possible. Li Qiang also called on everyone to donate money for the squad leader, and everyone responded at that time, and each donated a lot of money to help the squad leader get through the predicament.
Later, the squad leader's family survived the difficulties, and he was grateful to Li Qiang. Since then, their relationship has become closer, and all the benefits of the class seem to have been left to Li Qiang by the class leader. We've all seen these things with our own eyes.
Recalling an incident last year, Wu Mei, a small business operator in our class, had a cerebral thrombosis and had to be hospitalized**. Because I was so close to her, I would pass by her stall every time I went to the market to buy vegetables, but one day I didn't see her selling vegetables.
I asked her husband to find out. It turned out that she had a cerebral thrombosis, which caused her hands and feet to be inflexible and she could be paralyzed in bed. When I heard the news, I felt very anxious, because Wu Mei's situation was indeed quite difficult, and the couple only relied on setting up a stall in the market to sell vegetables to make a living.
At that time, I shared Wu Mei's condition in the class group, hoping to call on my classmates to visit her in the hospital. After all, we spent three years in high school and should show some classmate affection at such moments. However, some of the classmates in the group said that they did not have time, and some were difficult to vacate their identities because they were away on a business trip.
Some students chose to remain silent in the group, seemingly deliberately avoiding this topic. Afterwards, when I recalled that experience, only a dozen or so classmates went to visit Wu Mei with me. It's a pity that those students who didn't go didn't even give Wu Mei a red envelope.
Looking back on the situation at that time, I looked through the WeChat group again. The squad leader took the lead and transferred 1,000 yuan to Li Qiang, and indicated in the remarks that it was a donation. Under the appeal of the class leader, other students responded one after another, most of them donated 600 yuan, and some donated yuan. In a short period of time, Li Qiang received donations of several thousand yuan.
In the group, Li Qiang expressed his gratitude to each student who made a donation, and every time a student donated, he would express his gratitude by name. The class president also praised the students who donated for a good job.
I thought to myself, Li Qiang is the big boss of a company, and the business is very big, maybe he can provide more help to his classmates in the future, so he generously donated so much money. In contrast, Wu Mei has not had a job after graduating from high school, and can only rely on stalls and vegetables to support her family, and her life is relatively difficult. Probably because she couldn't help her classmates much in her work and studies, only a dozen or so of her classmates went to visit her.
I don't know if it's my unique opinion, or the influence of the current social atmosphere! I think there are people in our classmates who seem to be really enthusiastic about the rich and indifferent to the poor! For such a group of classmates, I felt that it didn't matter if I stayed in or quit, so I quietly quit this group of classmates! Do you think it's right or wrong for me to do this?
