Chapter 179 The Little Girl's Hope
In Hohhot, the sun has already set, and the western sky is full of red clouds.

A little girl who looked like thirteen or fourteen was inadvertently admiring the beautiful sunset.

She was using her thin body to exert all her strength to pedal the tricycle under her feet with difficulty, and the back bucket of the tricycle was piled with waste products taller than her height.

Drops of sweat slid down her cheeks, and every drop of sweat would leave a faint trace on her face.

The little girl didn't care to wipe off the sweat on her face immediately, she had to hurry up and return to her home before dark.

On the outskirts of Hohhot, there is a small abandoned courtyard with dilapidated walls. There are all kinds of waste products piled up inside. Although they are all waste products, there is no sense of clutter. All waste products are classified according to categories and stacked neatly. , It can be seen that the little girl is careful.

Among the waste products is a shanty house made of various waste boards, iron sheets and waste yurts. This should be the little girl's home.

Riding the tricycle into the compound, the little girl nimbly jumped off the tricycle, untied the ropes binding the waste products, and unloaded packs of waste products heavier than her body.

After the little girl unloaded all the waste products, she took out a stack of newspapers and books from the back seat of the tricycle.

Holding the books and newspapers tightly in her arms, the little girl opened the door and walked into the shack.

Although the shanty house was low and cramped, it didn't look messy at all. The whole house was as orderly as the waste products outside.

There are two beds on the innermost side, separated by a curtain in the middle. There is a low square table between the two beds, and two small benches are placed on both sides of the square table.

In the middle of the shanty town is a small stove, which should be the place where the little girl usually cooks and a tool for heating in winter.

The little girl took down the kerosene lamp hanging on the wall.

When the kerosene lamp was lit with a match, the cramped and dark cabin instantly brightened.

The most obvious thing that catches the eye is the rows of certificates on the wall. There are excellent students, three-good students, and most of them are the No. 1 certificates of the whole school. These certificates have a common name-Li Yan.

Look at the latest certificate, it is the No. 1 certificate of the whole grade exam in the third year of junior high school, and it was last year.

Who would have imagined that this thin girl who looked like thirteen or fourteen was already sixteen or seventeen years old.

Perhaps feeling the light in the room, a quilt was slowly moving on one side of the bed.

After a long time, a skinny old man slowly turned around and said in a weak voice: "Yan'er! Are you back!"

Li Yan quickly walked to the bed, held the old man's skinny hands and said, "Grandpa, I'm back. Are you hungry? I'll cook for you right now."

The little girl took out two steamed buns from her arms, put them on the square table, and started to light the stove.

After the stove rose, put the frying pan on the stove, the little girl picked up the water ladle and put it in the water tank, scooped up half of the water and poured it into the pot.

In order to fill up the water in the water tank, Li Yan would ride a tricycle to fetch water from a well a few miles away every day, and it took two or three times to go back and forth.

When the water in the pot boiled, Li Yan picked up a steamed bun and broke it into small pieces and put it into the pot. After a while, the small steamed buns turned into batter.

Li Yan walked to the cabinet in the corner, opened the cabinet, and there were three eggs inside.

Taking out an egg from the cabinet, Li Yan held it tightly in her hands, fearing that it would fall to the ground.

Li Yan beat the egg liquid into the frying pan, stirred the batter with chopsticks, and added brown sugar and refined salt to it.

After everything was done, Li Yan put the batter into a bowl, and walked to the bed with the bowl.

Sitting on the small bench, Li Yan scooped up a spoonful of batter and blew it lightly with her mouth: "Grandpa has eaten, I put eggs and brown sugar in it today."

The skinny old man drank the food fed by Li Yan, two lines of tears flowed from his wrinkled face.

"It's grandpa who is useless, why did he get this disease." The old man choked up and said, "Grandpa has troubled you, otherwise our Yan'er should be in high school now, our Yan'er will definitely be admitted to college, it is grandpa who is useless, It's Grandpa who is useless, making our Yan'er suffer!"

Said the old man's tears could not stop flowing out.

Li Yan held back the tears in her eyes, not letting them fall, and continued to blow the batter in the spoon, and fed it to the old man's mouth, saying: "Grandpa, Yan'er is not bitter! If there is no grandpa, Yan'er would freeze to death when she was born." At the entrance of the hospital. Grandpa gave Yan'er life, as long as grandpa's illness can be cured, Yan'er is willing to do anything."

It turned out that Yan'er was an abandoned baby. Because she was a girl, she was thrown at the entrance of the hospital when she was just born more than ten years ago. She happened to be picked up by an old man who scavenged and brought her up so that she could go to school.

Looking at Li Yan, who has excellent grades since childhood, the old scavengers are proud of being able to train a college student.

Last year, the old man suddenly felt a dull pain in his epigastric cavity, and went to the hospital for an examination and found gastric cancer.

After hearing the bad news, Li Yan, who had just finished her senior high school entrance examination, had to drop out of school. In order to save her grandfather, Li Yan spent all the tuition her grandfather had saved for her college education.

However, after chemotherapy, the old man's health became worse and worse, and he was as thin as a stick in just one year.

Li Yan took over her grandfather's job of collecting scraps and earning money to see a doctor for her grandfather.

The high medical expenses just weighed on Li Yan's thin shoulders.

After the old man had finished eating, Li Yan helped the old man wipe away the food residue from the corners of his mouth and the tears on his face, fed the old man some pills, and covered the old man with a quilt.

I started sorting out the newspapers and books I received today.

There are all kinds of books and all kinds of newspapers that I have collected with great difficulty.

Li Yan picked out the high school books here, took out a small box from under the bed, opened the box, and found that it was full of high school books.

After a year, I finally collected all the books in high school.

Li Yan carefully put the books into the box, as if caring for rare treasures, which shows that Li Yan has never given up her dream of studying.

Every time the old man saw Li Yan like this, he couldn't help crying.

Later, Li Yan classified the newspapers again.

While packing up the newspapers, Li Yan accidentally saw the news about the recruitment of volunteers by Professor Sun's team in the Hohhot Daily.

Like finding a treasure, Li Yan grabbed the newspaper and flipped through it.

As time passed bit by bit, Li Yan's face showed unconcealable joy, and the hand holding the newspaper slowly trembled.

After a long time, Li Yan ran up to the old man with the newspaper, held her grandfather's hand tightly and said happily, "Grandpa, your illness is cured. An oncologist in Beijing is recruiting volunteers for her project. There is one in Hohhot." The registration point is at the No. [-] Chinese and Mongolian Hospital in Hohhot."

That night, when Li Yan was sleeping, there was a long-lost reunion smile on her face.
