A bowl of noodles carries blessings, swallows warmth, and feels intimate. On April 19, 2024, 6 people from the Xi'an Wisdom Sinology Classroom in Shaanxi Province came to the Xiyi Road Civilization Practice Station as scheduled to make a bowl of warm noodles for the elderly in the community.
At 9 a.m., the volunteers arrived at the event site on time, changed into kitchen uniforms, put on masks, and got busy. They have a clear division of labor, and they carry out the work of picking, cleaning, chopping vegetables, stir-frying diced pork, and fried tofu in an orderly manner, and various ingredients are integrated with each other, exuding a rich and attractive aroma. While the volunteers were in full swing, the police from the Xiyi Road Police Station came to the community, and the community staff led them into the kitchen to inspect. "This is really fragrant, you volunteers are the living Lei Feng of the new era. The police complimented. "As long as the elderly people in the community like to eat, we are happy. The volunteer responded humbly.
At 11 o'clock, the elderly people of the community came to the scene, and volunteers brought bowls of steaming noodles to the elderly. The old people tasted the colorful and fragrant noodles, and their hearts bloomed. Aunt Zhang smiled and said, "Thanks to the party's good policies and thank you to the volunteers, it's great that we can eat free noodles." "Bring a bowl of noodles to the 90-year-old Aunt Xu's house in the family home of the Plaza Building." "The community worker instructed the volunteers. So, Pan Ling took off her work clothes and quickly sent the noodles over, and the old man took the volunteer's hand, his gratitude was overflowing, and he didn't know what to say.
This activity really made the elderly in the community feel the warmth and happiness of the community family, and narrowed the relationship between the party and the masses. This bowl of "Zhenzi noodles" also continues the traditional virtues of good neighborliness and mutual help.
