People are born different.

Some people, born in wealthy families, have been beautiful women all their lives, arrogant and luxurious; And some people, born poor, have to go through all kinds of hardships and hardships.

Heilongjiang, Harbin City.

It was a scorching summer, the sun was in the sky above the northeast sky, the temperature was as high as 40 degrees, and the ground was distorted by the scorching sun.

The temperature at noon is particularly hot, making people afraid to go out for a step, and the heat wave is rolling in the whole Harbin city, and there are hardly many pedestrians on the street except for busy couriers and takeaway brothers.

Those young people from wealthy families, relying on the protection of their parents, do not have to work, and in this hot weather, they sit at home, turn on the air conditioner, eat ice cream, and drink cold drinks, which is not difficult.

Therefore, people are born unequal.

The houses in the old city of Harbin are very densely built, the streets are slightly crowded, and a girl riding an electric car and wearing a yellow Meituan dress is riding a battery car and delivering takeaways.

The ground was hot, the battery car went to the traffic light, the girl held down the handbrake, stopped the battery car, she rubbed the sweat on her forehead, and then looked up and stared at the gradually decreasing red light number.

The girl was about eighteen or nineteen years old, with short eyebrow-length hair, a pair of very attractive autumn eyes, slightly dark skin, but a sickly paleness; In addition, the girl's figure is thin, about 80 pounds, and she is not tall, at most 1.58 meters.

Most of the athletes in the north are tall and healthy, and women are no exception.

The girl's name is "Xie Xiaoqiu", she is not a native of Harbin, and her hometown is in a mountain village in the northwest of Heilongjiang.

Her parents are both kind and loyal honest people, usually the village people are married and funeral, when there is a shortage of manpower, this enthusiastic couple will go over to help, so the couple is also quite famous in the village.

The story happened ten years ago, because of an accident, the couple just went away; Only Xie Xiaoqiu and her sister were left, and the two of them depended on each other.

Xie Xiaoqiu's sister is called "Xie Xiaoxia", and she is ten years older than Xie Xiaoqiu.

compensation for the car accident, plus some inheritance left by his parents, plus Xie Xiaoxia found a job with a low salary, but barely able to support the sisters; Therefore, although Xie Xiaoqiu's childhood was not rich, she never had to worry that she would starve.

Sister Xie Xiaoxia was born very beautiful, and she is also quite famous in ten miles and eight townships; Not long after the death of his parents, many people came to the door to propose marriage, wanting to marry Xie Xiaoxia, and at the same time expressed their willingness to raise Xie Xiaoqiu.

But my sister Xie Xiaoxia refused, because she was afraid that after her sister went to someone else's house, she would not be used to living under the fence.

Time has passed, and another six years have passed.

That year, Xie Xiaoqiu was fifteen years old.

Most of the children of her age are just sensible, and their lives are still carefree and there are not many worries.

Since the death of her parents, Xie Xiaoqiu has not liked to laugh much, and her personality is also a little withdrawn, because of the early death of her parents, she is much more mature than her peers.

Withdrawn personality and precocious mental maturity led to Xie Xiaoqiu's childhood, where he had almost no close friends.

It was a Sunday, and it was a hot summer day like today, Xie Xiaoqiu was washing clothes by the pond, and her aunt suddenly found her, holding her hand, with tears on her face.

Looking at her red-eyed aunt, Xie Xiaoqiu just asked, "What's wrong?" What's wrong? ”

My aunt wiped her tears and said in a crying voice: "My miserable baby! Your sister, she'......"

Listening to her aunt's vague words, Xie Xiaoqiu was also a little panicked, and she hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with my aunt?" What's wrong with my sister? ”

My aunt said with difficulty: "Xiao Xia, she was hit by a car and is now being taken to the hospital, you can come with me." ”

……

Here's how it happened-

Sister Xie Xiaoxia was hit by a drunk driver on the way home; The driver escaped, because it was a mountain village, and there was no camera at the location of the accident, so the culprit of the accident could not be found.

The medical level of the small county town naturally cannot cure Xie Xiaoxia; Desperate and helpless, Xie Xiaoqiu could only send her sister to Harbin City, where medical conditions were better.

The cost before and after the treatment used up most of the family's property, but in the end, only my sister was barely left to live.

To this day, Xie Xiaoqiu still remembers what the doctor said to her that day, "Don't cry, although your sister has become a vegetative person, there is a new medical technology abroad, and there is still a chance to cure your sister, but it costs a lot, so don't be too sad." ”

After that, Xie Xiaoqiu sent her sister to a professional care agency, which charges 5,000 yuan per month. In order to take care of her sister and save a little nursing fee from the nursing institution, Xie Xiaoqiu stayed in Harbin.

From that day on, Xie Xiaoqiu not only had to support herself, but also her sister, who had become a vegetative person; Just like her sister took care of her back then, she did her best.

Since the beginning of this year, Xie Xiaoqiu has tried every means to make money, she does odd jobs, online training, and at the same time cooks and washes clothes by herself, so that life makes her almost no time to breathe.

Before her sister's accident, Xie Xiaoqiu once asked her sister for a computer, and she was just going to ask for a second-hand computer, but she didn't expect her sister to buy her a computer with a good configuration.

Xie Xiaoqiu showed superb talent for games at a very young age, when she was a child, she played Super Mario, Contra and other red and white machine games, and she was able to clear the level with one life; When I was in junior high school, one game currency could be played in the game hall for an afternoon.

Xie Xiaoqiu received the list of League of Legends on the Internet, and she could earn more than 10,000 yuan a month, but her sister had to spend 5,000 yuan a month in child support, and the house she rented by herself also cost 500 yuan a month, and the girl's monthly expenses were also more than 500.

Because of this, Xie Xiaoqiu only has more than 4,000 yuan left every month, and she is going to treat her sister with this money, because the doctor said that she can cure her sister abroad, so she has kept this money and has not dared to use a dime indiscriminately.

The monthly expenses of 500 yuan include "toilet paper, three meals a day, toothpaste and toothbrush, phone bills, internet bills, water and electricity bills, Sophie, etc."

It's hard to imagine how 500 yuan can spend a month.

But Xie Xiaoqiu has his own methods, such as putting less oil and salt when cooking as much as possible; For example, toothpaste and shampoo can be used more often each time. For example, try not to turn on the electric fan on a hot day, you can save some electricity bills; Another example is not to buy new clothes, but to wear old clothes left by my sister, so that you can also save a lot of money.

All in all, in order to save money, Xie Xiaoqiu has been frugal and calculating, and when she was growing up, she didn't eat a full meal with oil and water; Because she often can't eat enough, she never grows taller, and her breasts are hungry and become poor.

Some time ago, she was also found to be "malnourished", but she was not worried about her body at all.

There is a line in the anime [Gintama] "Sakata Gintoki", which Xie Xiaoqiu remembers vividly - "Unlike you young masters who are dressed in fine clothes and food, I need to do my best just to live." ”

Xie Xiaoqiu felt that she was not a strong person, but she knew that she seemed to have no choice but to be strong; Because no one in the world will feel sorry for her, she feels that she doesn't need to feel sorry for herself.

……

The red light of the street flashes and turns green; Xie Xiaoqiu turned the accelerator of the battery car and galloped away, bringing up the billowing red dust.

In the winter of the previous year, Xie Xiaoqiu was training the list of platinum ranks - in this qualifying game, one of her teammates dropped out, and there was an ADC with a very good operation on the opposite side, the scene was anxious, and her teammates kept surrendering, saying things like "4V5 can't be beaten", and they all gave up the game.

In the end, Xie Xiaoqiu looked at the base of the explosion and pounded the table angrily, "Damn! Dropped points! ”

"Dropping points" is a big deal for Xie Xiaoqiu, after all, losing one ranking means winning two to make up for the loss; And if she didn't lose, this was used to make up for the lost time, and she could earn dozens of dollars more.

In the second ranking, Xie Xiaoqiu met the ADC opposite the top again.

Xie Xiaoqiu still remembers the first thing the ADC said, "I am the strongest king at the top of the canyon, help my friends score points, give me ADC, and win." ”

Looking at the words in the team's chat window, Xie Xiaoqiu said indignantly: "Dog thief! If my teammates hadn't dropped the line, I wouldn't have lost at all! ”

In the second position, she won easily, and then in the third position, she met the ADC again.

After the third one, the ADC added her friend and invited her to rank together; Then the two of them added WeChat, and Xie Xiaoqiu also knew the name of this ADC, called "Gu Pingsheng".

Later, the two often played League of Legends together.

Sometimes, the time for handing in the order is approaching, and Xie Xiaoqiu can't pull away, Gu Pingsheng will also help her make the order; Because of Gu Pingsheng's help, Xie Xiaoqiu lost less and less, scored more and more easily, and made money much faster.

The night in Harbin is getting darker and darker, and Xie Xiaoqiu, who has been busy all day, rode a battery car and dragged his tired body back to the community where he rented a house.

As soon as she entered the community, the janitor stopped her, "Xie Xiaoqiu, here is your courier." ”

"I didn't buy anything." After Xie Xiaoqiu finished speaking, he prepared to leave.

The doorman said, "This is a man who asked me to give it to you, saying that it was a birthday gift, and he specially instructed me to hand it over to you." ”

"Male? A birthday present? Xie Xiaoqiu was stunned, walked over to take the package, and then she suddenly remembered-

It turns out that today is my birthday......

After parking the battery car, holding the package, along the dim and narrow corridor, Xie Xiaoqiu returned to the room.

Putting down the package in his hand, Xie Xiaoqiu took out his mobile phone, opened WeChat, and saw a WeChat, "I wish you a happy birthday, and may you be like spring all year round." ”

Seeing this message, Xie Xiaoqiu's eyes turned red and he scolded, "Bastard!" ”

Xie Xiaoqiu can't make anyone feel sorry for herself, so she can only learn to grow strong by herself; However, she didn't expect that the birthday she had forgotten would be remembered and cared about.

In this world, even if some people have experienced thousands of hardships and tribulations, they are still not defeated by life; Because these people, as long as they get a little light, they will not give up hope.
