Tufu City, Xianyin City.

The sky is blue and white clouds, and the artificial lake is blue.

A tall and majestic brass statue stands in the center of the city parkway, with a lifelike and loving face facing the newborn sun, and the hem of his clothes is blown by the breeze, shining with brilliant golden light under the glorious morning sun.

Just as the great man loves this country and leaves countless seeds of hope for this country, every kind citizen living in Xianyin City also has a deep respect for the tall great man, even if the great man has left this wonderful world, the light left by the great man is more and more bright and dazzling, warming people's hearts.

Under such warmth, even the cold and hard steel and cement of modern cities cannot isolate the warmth between people.

In the slightly noisy and harmonious city, a slightly embarrassed taxi hurriedly stopped at the entrance of the hospital, the door opened, and the young driver wearing a baseball cap swallowed the plum stick in his mouth, gently helped up the old man sitting in the back seat, and said softly: "Grandma, do you need me to go with you to register next?" I'll pay for the medical bills. ”

"Good boy, what's your name?"

"Grandma, my name is Jiang Yinghan, you can just call me Xiaoying."

"Jiang Yinghan? Farewell to the frost by the river...... The name is good, but it feels a little lonely.

Xiaoying, your face is as handsome as your name, if only I had a granddaughter, I will definitely not suffer a loss if I marry you, Xiaoying, do you have a partner? Otherwise, grandma, I will introduce you to a few of your grandchildren's college classmates? ”

"Hehe, grandma, you're laughing~ Moreover, I already have a partner, and now I just want to earn more money, take good care of her, and let her live a good life, don't talk about this...... I'll help you in, don't delay your medical treatment. The gray-haired old woman gently patted the young man's hand on her arm, shook her head kindly at the somewhat shy young driver, took out ten dollars from her pocket and handed it over.

"I knew that a good boy like you must have been picked up by a good-eyed little girl a long time ago."

"Hey~"

"Xiaoying, let's send it here, I just fell lightly, I didn't bump or touch, it's not a big deal, not to mention that I fell by myself, it has nothing to do with you."

Kindly touching the driver's head, the white-haired old woman smiled and said:

"Young man, you can help me up, it's enough to drive me to the hospital for so long. Don't look at my grandmother, I have gray hair, but I can eat three bowls of rice at a time and walk ten kilometers of mountain roads...... Mountain road...... Which mountain road is it from......"

After staring at her for a moment, the old grandmother immediately came back to her senses, "Alas, now that I'm older, I can't remember a lot of things from the past, I'm old, I'm old, I'm old, I'm old......"

"Then you ......"

"Xiaoying, let's stop here, I can still do this little thing by going to the hospital myself.

Didn't you take another order, young man? Hurry up, it must be very difficult to come out to run a rental to make money at such a young age.

My phone is broken, and I have this money on me, you put the money away, this is the fare that should be paid, young man, don't shirk it......"

The young driver breathed a sigh of relief, looked down at the somewhat wrinkled ten-dollar bill in his hand, and carefully put it in his pocket.

Although ten yuan is not much, it is always a little bit of the old man's heart.

But then again, in this era of rampant electronic payment, there are fewer and fewer elderly people with banknotes, and I didn't expect to meet one today.

Recalling the kind smile of the old grandmother when she left, the corners of Jiang Yinghan's mouth unconsciously curled, and she was in a good mood.

"It's not a loss at all to exchange five dollars for the smile of such a cute old man."

Back in the car, Jiang Yinghan skillfully took out a plum stick from the plastic bucket and held it in his mouth, while feeling the sweet and sour taste, he turned on his mobile phone and sent a message of 'I'll be there soon, please wait'.

A busy day passed quickly, and even the golden statues of the great men were shrouded in darkness for a moment, and at this moment there was a dark shadow beneath the statues.

Sending the last young female passenger to the gate of the community, Jiang Yinghan politely said goodbye to the female passenger who waved to her.

Being polite, gentle, grateful, and grateful is the attitude that most people in Xianyin City have, and this is also the reason why Jiang Yinghan loves this city.

Although life is poor, it is also happy and comfortable...... If you don't have to treat the disease.

Looking up at the bright night sky dotted with stars, Jiang Yinghan lowered his head and muttered for a while, giving up his plan to continue picking up customers.

"It's still early, but today is Xiaoyin's birthday, so I have to go back early to celebrate Xiaoyin."

Coming to the commercial street, although Jiang Yinghan was a little distressed, he still gritted his teeth, met the clerk's puzzled gaze, and pointed to the most conspicuous piece of Black Forest cake decorated with red cherries in the counter of the cake shop: "This cake, can you cut me a quarter, please, only a quarter is enough......"

Carrying a packaged birthday cake box and a small bag of steamed buns, Jiang Yinghan shrunk his shoulders and stepped into the somewhat dimly lit unit door.

Originally, he wanted to buy a bouquet of roses, but after looking at the account balance on his phone, which was not rich, Jiang Yinghan still chose to give up, as resolute as he was when he quit smoking.

There was a damp and dark smell in the slightly old corridor, but fortunately, Jiang Yinghan was used to it, and the strange smell of sourness could not make him frown again.

Since he made the decision to cure Ye Linyin's strange illness at all costs, he has long been prepared to live this difficult life by selling his house and land, and compared with the treatment of Ye Linyin's strange disease, no matter how difficult it is, it is not to be afraid.

It didn't take much effort to climb to the sixth floor, even if Jiang Yinghan ran for a day's rental, he still had enough physical strength to climb this long, long step.

Opening the security door and walking into the living room, Jiang Yinghan looked at the shabby living environment in front of him and sighed deeply.

"Miss Xiaoye, slow down, don't knock."

It seemed to hear the movement at the door, and there was a rush of noise from the half-closed door, and soon, Aunt Li, who was in charge of taking care of Ye Linyin, walked out of the room with a delicate and fair face, soft and short ear-length hair, like an elf in Western legends.

Carefully placing the things in his hand on the low wooden table, Jiang Yinghan took off his baseball cap, forgetting the fatigue of the day, looking at the girl wearing only pink pajamas, the young man involuntarily stretched the muscles of his face, revealing a warm smile from the heart.

"Xiaoyin, I'm back, I know it's your birthday, so I bought your favorite cherry black cake~"

"Little ...... Shadow...... Little Shadow~"

There were some unclear words muttered in her mouth, and the girl's empty eyes suddenly became a little brighter, and in Aunt Li's loving and distressed eyes, the girl with a somewhat stiff expression staggered in the direction of Jiang Yinghan like a toddler, but at the moment of the third step, she tripped over herself due to uncoordinated hands and feet, and fell straight ahead without saying a word, her forehead facing the edge of the low table.

Aunt Li, who was standing behind her, was not frightened by this scene, because she had already understood that as long as the handsome big boy in front of her was by her side, Ye Linyin would never be hurt in any way, and it was precisely because she was moved by the sincere feelings of this young man, and because Jiang Yinghan helped her a lot, she accepted Jiang Yinghan's request, and promised to take care of the little girl who couldn't take care of herself on weekdays with a low salary, giving the young man time to work and make money.

Looking at Jiang Yinghan, who was gently embracing Ye Linyin in front of her, the corners of Aunt Li's eyes became a little moist.

She had already known about the young couple.

A car accident changed two families and two different lives.

There is one less smart and clever girl in the world, and one more young man who is working hard for reality.

"God, you're so blind......"

Bidding farewell to Aunt Li, Jiang Yinghan took away Ye Linyin's little hand that was about to wrap around his neck, tidied up the somewhat wrinkled pink pajamas for Ye Linyin, who was obediently sitting at the dining table in a daze, and sat next to the girl.

The cold light shone on the boy's face, making the boy's face look a little pale. "Xiaoyin, did you listen to Aunt Li's words today and eat obediently and wait for me to go home?"

Hearing the familiar voice, Ye Linyin, who was in a daze, turned his head to look at Jiang Yinghan blankly, and didn't seem to understand what Jiang Yinghan meant, only his eyes lit up a little.

"Little ...... Shadow? ”

"Hmm~ I know that Xiaoyin is the most well-behaved~"

Rubbing the bridge of her nose, which was a little sour, Jiang Yinghan touched the girl's head as if encouraging, making the girl who was a little confused and dazed show a relaxed and comfortable look.

"Xiaoyin~Next, it's time to celebrate your birthday~"

Open the birthday cake box, use the mobile phone to play the pure music of happy birthday that has been prepared for a long time, symbolically insert a thin candle into the Black Forest cherry cake that is only a quarter in size, and Jiang Yinghan lit the candle.

"I wish you a happy birthday~ Xiaoyin, after today, you will be a little girl who has grown up~"

Looking at the warm light emitted by the candle, Ye Linyin's eyes widened suddenly, and he subconsciously stretched out his right hand and was about to touch it, but Jiang Yinghan directly held it in his hand and held it tightly.

"Little ...... Shadow? ”

"Xiaoyin, although the flame is very warm, you can't touch the flame, the person who touches the flame will be very hot and painful."

Turning his head suspiciously, Ye Linyin took his eyes off the candle, and there was a little more joy in his eyes when he looked at Jiang Yinghan, as if he had just seen the person he longed to see the most, and there was more joy on his face to reunite.

For girls with memory and intelligence defects, every time they see a teenager, it is a reunion across spring, autumn, winter and summer......

"Little ...... Shadow?! ”

"Yes, don't be afraid, I'm here~ I will always be with you~"

Patting the girl's little hand to comfort the girl, Jiang Yinghan gently looked at the childhood sweetheart in front of him whose intelligence was only the size of a one-year-old child, and his heart was as painful as being pricked by countless thin needles.

At the age of sixteen, a sudden car accident changed everything.

According to the description of the patrol law enforcement team of the Traffic Bureau, the girl with a head injury suffered a violent blow and witnessed her parents swallowing their last breath in the car, and her mind was greatly stimulated and she went insane.

After waking up from a coma, Ye Linyin became what she is now.

The accident of the car accident was identified as driving a red light and being hit, Ye Linyin's parents were fully responsible, and the injured Ye Linyin not only did not receive any compensation, but Jiang Yinghan also had to pay money to compensate for the loss of the pickup truck.

Considering that no relatives were willing to take on the huge burden of high treatment costs, when Ye Linyin was helpless, Jiang Yinghan had to spend a lot of money to get through the relationship, so that Ye Linyin was legally guardianship, and the two of them also moved to Xianyin City in accordance with the requirements of the Public Security Management Office.

went to the hospital for examination, the expert could only determine that Ye Linyin's brain had suffered some kind of mechanical damage, and his emotions were too excited to cause mental problems, and he checked and checked, but he couldn't determine where the injury was, and he didn't give any reliable radical treatment plan, and even because the medicine was too expensive, the doctor's advice was to give up treatment, but Jiang Yinghan stubbornly shook his head and took on the responsibility of taking care of Ye Linyin alone.

From then on, Jiang Yinghan felt like he was carrying a big mountain on his back.

Ye Linyin has to go to the hospital every other month to do a set of brain examinations, take some expensive high-grade 'mental stabilizing drugs', if you don't take mental stabilizing drugs, Ye Linyin will be at risk of fainting and even brain death.

Because the mental stabilization drug is a special medicine, its price is enough to make ordinary people completely desperate, in order to make up for Ye Linyin's early treatment expenses and the drug cost to continue to stabilize his condition, Jiang Yinghan had to be robbed by others, and sold the two high-end apartments and a private villa left by his parents for rent to him at a low price, and the savings on his bank card that were enough to spend the second half of his life eating and drinking also dried up as quickly as a water bag leaking in the desert.

Taxi driver, nightclub hostess, street performer, brick moving on the construction site......

Jiang Yinghan, who has tried many kinds of jobs, has already experienced the life of the society, but even if Jiang Yinghan has been working hard to make money, it will not help, and the economy that cannot make ends meet will soon become a mountain that Jiang Yinghan can't breathe, but fortunately, the foundation left by his parents is there, and the two of them have tightened their belts and persevered until now.

Today is Ye Linyin's eighteenth birthday, and after working so hard until now, he can't even make up his mind to buy Ye Linyin a complete birthday cake.

Jiang Yinghan turned his back and wiped the corners of his eyes, and when he turned his head again, the young man's face had changed to a happy smile again.

At least tonight, in front of Ye Linyin, he must not cry.
