Since we are all reborn, let’s arrest the senior!

The winter sun pierced through the clouds, casting a golden glow over the orphanage courtyard, bathing this place filled with love and warmth. Jiang Zimei and Lu Mingze stood by the window, watching the children and volunteers playing and laughing in the courtyard, their faces beaming with happiness.

"I never imagined our volunteer team could develop so well," Jiang Zimei said with emotion.

Lu Mingze gently put his arm around her shoulder and nodded, saying, "Yes, it's all thanks to everyone's hard work. However, I believe there will be even more surprises in the future."

As soon as she finished speaking, the orphanage door was gently pushed open, and a petite young girl with a high ponytail walked in. She carried a sketchbook on her back, and her eyes sparkled with a lively light. The girl looked around, as if searching for something.

Upon seeing this, Jiang Zimei and Lu Mingze came out of the room to greet them.

"Hello, may I ask who you are?" Jiang Zimei asked with a smile.

The girl smiled shyly and introduced herself: "Hello, my name is Su Yao, and I am an art teacher. I saw the story of your orphanage volunteer team online and was very moved, so I thought I'd come and see if I could do my part." As she spoke, she held up her sketchbook, "I brought some painting tools and want to teach the children to paint."

Lu Mingze quickly took the sketchbook and said warmly, "Welcome, Su Yao. The children will love it."

Just then, a motorcycle roared to a stop in front of the orphanage. A young man wearing a black leather jacket and a helmet got off. He took off his helmet, revealing slightly curly hair and a handsome face. The man was slightly taken aback when he saw Su Yao, then smiled and greeted her, "Hey, Su Yao, you're here too."

Su Yao looked surprised when she saw the man: "Shen Yi, what brings you here?"

Shen Yi stepped forward with a smile and said, "I'm here to volunteer too. I heard that the children here need help, so I thought I'd join in the fun." He took a guitar case off the back of his motorcycle and shook it. "I'll teach the children to play guitar, and maybe we can even form a band."

Jiang Zimei and Lu Mingze were overjoyed to see the two new members. Jiang Zimei said enthusiastically, "That's wonderful! With you joining us, our volunteer team is even stronger."

Just as everyone was getting to know each other, a car slowly pulled into the orphanage. A middle-aged man in a suit and tie, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, and a young woman in a business suit stepped out. The middle-aged man held a folder in his hand and wore a gentle smile.

A middle-aged man stepped forward and introduced himself, "Hello, my name is Lin Yu, and I am a senior executive at a company. This is my assistant, Xiaoyan. Our company has always been committed to public welfare. After hearing about the situation at your orphanage, we decided to provide some assistance to the children." As he spoke, he handed a folder to Lu Mingze, "This is our preliminary assistance plan, which includes providing school supplies and improving living facilities."

Lu Mingze took the folder and said excitedly, "Thank you so much, President Lin. Your help is so important to the children."

Xiaoyan smiled and said, "Our boss has always been very concerned about vulnerable groups and hopes to make some contributions to society. If you need anything in the future, just let us know."

The arrival of new friends brought new vitality to the orphanage. Su Yao quickly became friends with the children, leading them in sketching in the yard and depicting the world as they saw it with their paintbrushes. Shen Yi sat on the steps, patiently teaching the children to play the guitar, the melodious guitar music echoing in the yard.

Lin Yu and Xiao Yan discussed the details of the sponsorship plan with Chen Yuxuan, striving to provide the most comprehensive help for the children.

However, the peaceful days didn't last long. One day, the orphanage suddenly received a notice that the government planned to carry out urban planning and renovation in the area where the orphanage was located, and the orphanage faced the fate of being demolished.

Holding the notification letter, the director frowned, his face full of worry: "What are we going to do? If the orphanage is demolished, where will the children go?"

Upon hearing the news, Jiang Zimei, Lu Mingze, and the others fell into deep thought. Chen Yuxuan broke the silence first: "We can't just sit here and wait for our doom. We have to find a way to communicate with the government and see if we can get some special policies for the orphanage."

Zhao Yang nodded and said, "Yes, I know some friends in government departments. I'll go and ask about the situation and see if I can mediate."

So, everyone sprang into action. Zhao Yang contacted friends everywhere to learn about the specifics of the city's planning. Jiang Zimei and Lu Mingze collected photos of the children's lives and their growth records, preparing to demonstrate to the government the importance of the orphanage to the children.

Meanwhile, Su Yao and Shen Yi were not idle either. They organized the children to make exquisite paintings and handicrafts, intending to give them to government staff and touch them with the children's innocence and kindness.

After several days of effort, Zhao Yang finally learned some information. It turned out that the city plan was for the construction of a large commercial complex, and the orphanage's location happened to be within the planned area. However, if a suitable alternative site could be found, the government was willing to consider preserving the orphanage.

Upon hearing this news, everyone saw a glimmer of hope. Lin Yu offered to use his connections to help find a suitable venue. He and Xiaoyan began searching everywhere, checking various property listings.

However, the search for a suitable location was not smooth. Either the space was too small to meet the orphanage's needs, or the rent was too expensive. Everyone's spirits plummeted once again.

Just when everyone was feeling hopeless, Su Yao suddenly remembered a distant relative. This relative had a large, vacant house in the suburbs, surrounded by beautiful scenery and with relatively convenient transportation. Su Yao immediately contacted her relative to ask if she could rent the house to an orphanage. Upon learning the situation, the relative readily agreed, and the rent was also very reasonable.

The good news brought cheers from everyone. Jiang Zimei excitedly hugged Su Yao: "Su Yao, you're amazing! The orphanage is saved now."

So, everyone immediately began preparing for the relocation. Lin Yu's company provided moving vehicles and manpower, and volunteers also rushed to help. Although the children were a little reluctant to leave their familiar place, they were all full of anticipation at the thought of soon having a new home.

Thanks to everyone's joint efforts, the relocation was successfully completed. The new orphanage is spacious and bright, surrounded by large green spaces, where the children can play and learn to their heart's content.

However, new problems arose one after another. Because the new orphanage was located in a relatively remote area, getting the children to school became a major issue. Transporting the children to and from school every day consumed a significant amount of time and energy, and also posed safety risks. Faced with this problem, everyone gathered again to discuss solutions. Zhou Yu suggested applying to the government to open a dedicated school bus route, but the application process was cumbersome, requiring various documents and certificates.

While everyone was busy applying for school bus routes, a middle-aged man named Zhang Feng approached the orphanage. Zhang Feng was a bus driver, and after hearing about the orphanage's situation, he volunteered to take the children to and from school every day free of charge.

“I am also a father, and I can understand children’s desire to learn and their aspirations for the future. I just did what I could.” Zhang Feng’s simple words deeply moved everyone.

With Zhang Feng's help, the children's schooling problem was solved. The volunteer team did not stop there; they continued to work hard for the children's growth and development.

As time went by, the children in the orphanage thrived under the care and help of volunteers. Some children won awards in painting competitions, some showed outstanding talent in music competitions, and others achieved excellent academic results.

These achievements have brought immense joy to everyone and have also raised awareness of the orphanage volunteer team's deeds. More and more people are inspired to join the ranks of volunteers.

One day, the orphanage welcomed a special guest. It was a retired teacher named Grandpa Wang, over seventy years old but still very spry. After hearing about the orphanage's situation, Grandpa Wang decided to dedicate his remaining years to teaching the children.

"I've taught all my life, and I can't bear to leave these children. Seeing them reminds me of my own student days. I want to pass on all the knowledge I've learned to them." Grandpa Wang's words were filled with his love for education and his care for the children.

Grandpa Wang's arrival has enriched the children's learning and life. He not only teaches them basic knowledge such as Chinese and mathematics, but also often tells them historical stories and life lessons, broadening their horizons and cultivating their character.

With the care and assistance of volunteer teams and all sectors of society, the orphanage has gradually developed into a warm home integrating learning, living, and entertainment. Here, the children not only learn knowledge but also feel love and care, and their faces are filled with happy smiles.

However, life is always full of challenges. One day, the orphanage was suddenly hit by a serious fire. Fortunately, the children were in class at the time, and there were no casualties. But some of the orphanage's facilities and the children's belongings were destroyed, resulting in heavy losses.

After the fire broke out, volunteers rushed to the scene immediately. Seeing the devastation, everyone was heartbroken. Jiang Zimei and Lu Mingze, fighting back tears, comforted the terrified children.

“Don’t be afraid, children. Everyone will help us, and we will definitely rebuild the orphanage,” Jiang Zimei said firmly.

Chen Yuxuan immediately organized volunteers to form an emergency response team to take care of the children's lives and safety. At the same time, he launched a fundraising campaign through his charitable foundation, hoping to receive everyone's help.

The news received an immediate and positive response from all sectors of society. Kind-hearted people donated money and supplies, and volunteers spontaneously organized themselves to help clean up the fire scene and move supplies.

Lin Yu's company once again extended a helping hand, not only donating a large sum of money but also organizing its employees to help rebuild the orphanage. With everyone's joint efforts, the reconstruction of the orphanage proceeded rapidly.

During the reconstruction process, a professional named Engineer Li voluntarily joined the volunteer team. Engineer Li has extensive experience in architectural design, and he designed a new architectural plan for the orphanage free of charge, making the layout of the orphanage more rational and the facilities more complete.

After several months of hard work, a brand-new orphanage has been erected. The new orphanage is not only more beautiful in appearance, but also equipped with advanced fire safety facilities and security equipment to ensure the children's safety.

The children cheered with joy as they looked at the newly renovated orphanage. They all expressed their determination to study hard and, in the future, to help more people like the volunteers.

As the orphanage develops, the volunteer team also faces new opportunities and challenges. In order to better organize and manage volunteer activities, Chen Yuxuan proposed to establish a volunteer association and formulate comprehensive rules and regulations and service procedures.

The proposal was unanimously approved. Thus, through everyone's joint efforts, the Volunteer Association was officially established. The association set up different departments, each responsible for organization and planning, material management, publicity and promotion, and other tasks to ensure the smooth operation of volunteer activities.

Organized by the volunteer association, a variety of colorful activities are carried out in the orphanage and the community. Volunteers not only focus on the children's learning and daily lives, but also actively participate in community public welfare activities, contributing their efforts to the harmonious development of the community.

One day, the volunteer association received a special task. There was an elderly person living alone in the community who was struggling due to illness and limited mobility. After learning about the situation, the volunteers immediately organized a support group to regularly visit the elderly person's home to help with cleaning, grocery shopping, and chatting with them.

Under the volunteers' attentive care, the elderly man's health gradually improved, and a long-lost smile returned to his face. He said gratefully, "Thank you so much. Without you, I really don't know what I would have done. You've made me feel the warmth of society."

The volunteers' good deeds not only helped the elderly but also inspired other residents in the community. More and more people are beginning to pay attention to vulnerable groups around them and actively participate in public welfare activities.

As the influence of the volunteer association continues to grow, more and more media outlets are beginning to pay attention to their deeds. Television stations, newspapers, online media, and other media have all reported on the volunteer association, and their stories have touched countless people.

In a media interview, Jiang Zimei said with emotion, "We just did what we could, but we didn't expect to receive so much attention and support. In fact, everyone has a kind heart. As long as we are willing to lend a helping hand, we can make this world a better place."

Lu Mingze also said, "The volunteer team is like a big family. Everyone comes from different places and has different backgrounds, but we all have a burning heart. We believe that as long as we unite as one, we can bring hope and warmth to more people."

Over time, the volunteer association has grown in number and expanded its services. They not only conduct charitable activities locally but also extend their reach to other areas, helping even more people in need.

In the process, the volunteers also gained a lot. They not only helped others, but also grew and progressed, and made many like-minded friends. (End of Chapter)
