Yecheng in China is a second-tier city in China, which is not prosperous, but also more prosperous than other second-tier cities, because there is the largest state-owned steel plant in China, "Yegang Group". ”。

At this moment, the whole northern part of China has entered the early winter season, in the living quarters of Yegang workers, a corner full of garbage and smell, a shabby clothes, thin scavenger boy, endure the whirring cold wind, shivering with cold, a pair of frozen stiff hands, can no longer see the clean place, we are in the rancid garbage heap, are trying to rummage, all the waste products that can be sold for money.

"Huh! There is half a roast chicken here. The boy smelled it and it stinked a little, but after looking at it, it shouldn't have deteriorated and it was edible.

The boy wrapped half of the roast chicken and put it in his pocket, thinking to himself, I finally have meat to eat with my father today! Thinking of this, the boy quickly put the plastic bottles and cardboard boxes he found on a rusty tricycle, rode on the tricycle, and pedaled hard, and the tricycle made a creaking sound.

In the living quarters of Yegang workers, a thin teenager was riding in the cold wind, and a tricycle full of rust that was about to fall apart was pedaling hard.

"Xiao Yi, you came just in time, I have some waste cartons and bottles here, you just took them away."

Xiao Yi, who was pedaling the tricycle vigorously, heard someone talking to him, turned his head and saw that it was Uncle Wang, who opened a small supermarket, and then turned around and pedaled hard towards the small supermarket.

"Grandpa Wang, do you have any scrap now?" Xiao Yi said with a smile on his stained face.

"Yes! Recently, there have been too many waste cartons and bottles, and I am too lazy to go to the scrapyard to sell them! The old man said.

After Xiao Yi saw Uncle Wang, what suddenly came to mind? , I touched my whole body up and down, except for the half of the roast chicken I just picked up, I didn't find any money, I touched my head embarrassedly and said: "That, Grandpa Wang helped you sell waste products for 15 yuan last time, because I spent all the medicine for my father, and I will sell these waste products today and give them to you together." ”

"Forget it, it's just a few dollars, these are supposed to be thrown away at the garbage station." The old man said with a smile.

Xiao Yi loaded the shredded cardboard boxes, plastic bottles and other waste products in the corner into the car, and said to the old man: "Grandpa Wang, this is not good, although my family is poor, my father has always taught me to be kind, I can't let go of anything that is not my own, and I can't take more than anything that is not my own." Grandpa Wang, don't worry, when you come tomorrow, I will give you all the money from selling scrap products today and last time. ”

"Hey! You kid! The old man shook his head, looked at the thin boy, and pedaled away with great effort on the broken tricycle.

After Xiao Feng left, he came out of the small supermarket, and a high school student wearing a school uniform said to the old man: "Grandpa, why are you so good to him who picked up the rags just now!" ”

"Xiaotian, don't talk nonsense about others, if Xiao Yi hadn't had a catastrophe in his family five years ago, his father's legs were broken and he went insane, and his mother disappeared mysteriously, he should be a classmate with you now." The old man looked at his grandson and sighed.

After Xiao Yi stepped on his bicycle and got on the road, he accelerated on three wheels and rode towards the waste collection station in the distance.

Suddenly, he saw that on the sidewalk on the side of the road in front of him, Xiao Yi slowed down his riding speed and rode slowly, his eyes kept carefully looking at the group of five or six girls wearing high school uniforms, one of whom was Xiao Yi's classmate Li Pei'er in the first year of junior high school.

It was when I was just in the first year of junior high school, and the first time I saw Li Peier, I was deeply fascinated by her beauty, who knew that one night six years ago, I suddenly received a bad news when I just got out of school. The house was burned clean by a fire, his father was admitted to the hospital in a coma with his legs broken, and his mother disappeared mysteriously.

My father woke up insane and didn't remember anything! I just kept chanting my mother's name in my mouth, I was only 13 years old at that time, and I had just been in junior high school for half a year, and I had no financial resources, so I had to drop out of school and take care of my father in the hospital alone.

A year later, all the family's savings were spent, and they still owed a large amount of debt to the hospital, and the hospital could only kick Xiao Yi and his father out of the hospital.

During the time when he was kicked out of the hospital, Xiao Yi took his father to stay on the streets, and lived hard every day by going to the restaurant to collect some leftovers and some alms from well-wishers.

At that time, when I was young, with my father who couldn't walk and was crazy, I was about to collapse. An old scavenger riding a broken three-wheeled waste picker took in his father and son and took them to his residence in the demolition village.

The old man of the scavenger is named Su Wucheng, who lives in a dilapidated old house, and has no children and no daughters under his knees, so he treats Xiao Yi as his own grandson, and the young Xiao Yi also calls the old man Grandpa Su.

Father lies in bed every day, although life is difficult, Xiao Yi and Grandpa Su are in the streets and alleys of Yecheng every day, rummaging through everything that can be sold for money, and Grandpa Su taught Xiao Yi a lot of ways to survive in the city. For example, when and where can you find a lot of scrap, two people get a lot of harvest a day, and the money from selling scrap is made. Xiao Yi tried his best to save up to buy medicine for his father, and when he saw all this, Su Wucheng didn't stop it.

But the good times didn't last long, and two years later, Grandpa Su died of a serious illness! Xiao Yi personally submerged him in the wasteland not far from Li's residence.

Then Xiao Yi started a person, while picking up waste and collecting waste to sell for money, taking care of his father until now.

Xiao Yi rode the tricycle slowly, and from the memory, after waking up, he looked at Li Pei'er and a group of girls who were getting closer and closer, and a trace of tenderness appeared in his cold eyes, and then tears flashed.

The half-year period in junior high school is the most beautiful memory of myself since I was a child. At this moment, Li Peier is very beautiful, wearing a thick down jacket, which can make any man take three steps back at first sight. Her eyes were big and bright, slim, like a fairy who had landed on earth.

When Li Peier and a group of girls were about to walk in, Xiao Yi quickly wiped the tears from his eyes, looked at his dirty clothes, lowered his head and rode quickly past them.

Xiao Yi lowered his head and rode quickly, as they passed by! Li Peier suddenly turned around and looked carefully, which teenager was riding a dilapidated tricycle in the cold wind, and felt very familiar.

"Pelle, what are you looking at, let's go! I'm going to be late for class for a while! The girl next to her pulled and turned back to Li Pei'er in a daze.

"It's nothing, I just saw the teenager riding the tricycle just now, and it feels very familiar." Li Peier turned around and said to her classmates.
