It was already late at night, and several people in the dormitory had not yet slept.

Yan Yuzhi came in from outside.

He looked extremely tired.

"Is there anything to eat?"

The player in the upper bunk poked his head out and asked.

Yan Yuzhi shook his head: "No, the food was looted when I came in." ”

He said as he took the basin of water and prepared to wash.

"The thought of staying here for the next three months, without enough food or snacks every day, made me want to quit."

Another player sighed repeatedly: "I'm only eighteen, I'm growing my body, how can I only eat three meals a day?" ”

The contestant on the top bunk threw down a pillow: "You foodie." ”

Yan Yuzhi entered the bathroom.

He closed the door tightly, and sat down on the cold ground, and it took a long time for him to recover.

He just went to ask for instructions and got his mobile phone, and he called for ten minutes.

He was calling his mother.

Yan's mother was not in the hospital, she was recuperating at home, Yan Yuzhi called to ask how her body was, and told her to eat better, don't save money or something.

Yan's mother kept talking to Yan Yuzhi with a smile, telling Yan Yuzhi that she felt much better, and she hadn't hurt in the past few days, and she cooked by herself, all of which were nutritious meals, and she would not be reluctant to eat well.

Yan's mother told Yan Yuzhi to take care of his body and get along well with other players.

Although it sounded like Yan's mother was emotionally stable, Yan Yuzhi still felt that her mother was lying to him.

Her condition must have worsened again.

He could hear Yan's mother gasping a little when she laughed, she should have endured the pain and talked to him.

Thinking of some of the situations that the doctor said, Yan Yuzhi's heart was like falling into an ice kiln, and it was amazingly cold.

He didn't know what to do, the only way he could think of to make a lot of money was to participate in the draft and become a star, and there was no other way out for him.

But it was too long, and he wasn't sure if his mother would be able to wait.

Yan Yuzhi is very smart.

During today's one-day selection, he also noticed that someone in the program team deliberately stumbled him.

Just from the makeup, he understands that the next road may not be easy.

If......

Yan Yuzhi didn't dare to imagine what would happen if he was eliminated.

He could only do his best to keep himself alive.

In a dilapidated building, Yan's mother struggled to sit up from the bed, sat for a while, and endured the pain before getting out of bed and walking around.

Little by little, she moved to the chest of drawers in the corner.

Pulling open the drawer, she pulled out a very old photo album from inside.

I don't know how many years this album has been kept, and the cover has turned yellow.

Flipping through the photo album, there are old photos inside.

Mother Yan looked through it little by little, and finally landed on a photo.

This is a yellowed photo of two women teasing a child.

And one of the women is very similar to Yan's mother, which is obviously what she looked like when she was young.

The other woman was very beautiful, but there was always a bit of gloom between her eyebrows.

Yan's mother took out the photo, and there was a note on the back of the photo with a string of numbers on it.

Yan's mother took out her mobile phone, entered the number, and then dialed out.

She has kept this number for many years, and she hasn't contacted that person for many years, and she doesn't know if she can still get through.

She had no choice but to make this call with the attitude of giving it a try.

Unexpectedly, the call went through.

After a while, someone answered, and it was the voice of a very young girl.

"Hey, who's that?"

The girl's voice sounded a little excited.

Yan's mother was also a little excited: "My surname is Yan, I'm looking for An ......"

"Aunt Yan?"

Without waiting for Yan's mother to finish speaking, the girl shouted: "Aunt Yan, where are you now?" Why haven't you been in touch for so many years? ”

Yan's mother didn't know what to say for a while.

The girl's voice was louder: "Aunt Yan, I'm married, and now I have a baby, and I want to notify you when I get married, but you have changed your phone number, and you have moved, I ......"

"Congratulations."

Mother Yan really didn't know how to speak.

"Aunt Yan, is this your mobile phone number? Where are you now, and how are you doing? ”

With one question after another, Yan's mother thought of the helpless Yan Yuzhi, gritted her teeth, and finally said her request.

"I ...... It's a bit not so good. ”

The other side of the phone was stunned for a moment.

Mother Yan said in a very soft voice with a little guilt: "I have a terminal illness, I don't know how long I can live, Yuzhi has been trying to make money to help me treat my illness, but I know that I can't get better, I can only drag Yuzhi down when I live...... Our mother and son depend on each other, I don't dare to imagine what will happen to Yuzhi if I die, there are not many people I can rest assured, I think about it, I still contacted you, I want to ask you to take care of Yuzhi a little. ”

Mother Yan finished what she wanted to say in one go.

She lowered her head and felt sorry for the child.

There was silence for a moment, and then the voice became faster and faster: "Aunt Yan, give me the address, I'll go see you, let's find the best doctor, use the best medicine, it will definitely be cured, if it doesn't work in China, let's go abroad and give it a try." You...... Give me the address, wait, I'll be right over. ”

"No, don't."

Yan's mother was startled and quickly hung up the phone.

She hung up on her front foot, and the phone rang again on her back foot.

She looked at her phone, not knowing whether to answer it or not.

She really didn't mean to ask for money for treatment, she really didn't worry about Yan Yuzhi, and there was only one person she could trust with confidence.

Yan's mother didn't answer the phone.

At the same time, in the old house of the He family in H City, An Qingping was holding the mobile phone with an anxious face.

"Wife, what's wrong?"

He Jiayun carried the child into the house, and saw that An Qingping's expression was not very good, so he quickly put the child down and asked.

An Qingping looked at her phone, the phone rang, but she didn't answer it.

She was very flustered, and grabbed He Jiayun's arm without a master: "You help me, help me find someone......"

He Jiayun hurriedly comforted An Qingping: "Okay, I'll help you, don't panic, I'll help you find it, you can find it soon." ”

An Qingping sat down.

She's a lot more emotionally stable now.

He Jiayun handed over the child to the nanny, sat down and quietly listened to who An Qingping was looking for.

"My mother and my dad divorced and took me to the big city, she was originally a greedy and vain person, and she had no skills, she had a very hard time when she came, she almost threw me away, or Aunt Yan persuaded her and helped her raise me to three or four years old......"

An Qingping quietly talked about the past that she had never told anyone.

"When I was young, I really liked Aunt Yan, my mother didn't like me very much, she often beat me, and sometimes she forgot to give me food, and Aunt Yan was very gentle, would buy me some beautiful clothes, would bring me food when I was hungry, and when my mother beat me, she would stop me...... Many times I think about how nice it would be if Aunt Yan was my mother, and then Aunt Yan got married, so she didn't have so much time to take care of me. ”

With An Qingping's narration, the more He Jiayun listened, the more distressed he became.

After that Aunt Yan got married, An Qingping's life was very bad, in addition to going to school, she also had to do a lot of housework, and if she didn't do it well, she would be beaten.

And going to play with Aunt Yan every week has become her happiest time.

Afterward...... Aunt Yan's husband cheated, Aunt Yan divorced, and in order to avoid her husband and not listen to those gossip, she left the city with her children.

Aunt Yan may have left because she hadn't settled down yet, and it was difficult to live in an unfamiliar city, so she hadn't contacted An Qingping.

Later, when her life was on the right track, she began to call An Qingping, and An Qingping would discuss it with Aunt Yan when she encountered something.

Until An Qingping's mother died, An Qingping's life was really difficult as a little girl at that time.

Since then, Aunt Yan has been giving An Qingping some money every few months.

She doesn't make much, but she's really trying her best to help An Qingping.

After An Qingping was admitted to college, she was able to find a way to make some money by herself, and when Aunt Yan made money again, she sent the money back, and after a few times, Aunt Yan knew that she could stand on her own, so she didn't make any more money.

Later, Aunt Yan encountered some difficulties, and An Qingping called Aunt Yan the money she had saved for several years, for which Aunt Yan was very angry and quarreled with An Qingping.

She didn't ask for the money, and called it back, probably because she was afraid that An Qingping would give her money again, so she canceled the bank card.

Later, in order to accompany Yan Yuzhi to study, she moved again and changed her contact information, which broke off contact with An Qingping.

An Qingping later worked as a special assistant in Fu's, got a high-paying job, and went to Aunt Yan.

It's just that she has moved, and An Qingping left her new mobile phone number with Aunt Yan's old neighbor.

The number was left, and Aunt Yan never contacted her once, and slowly, An Qingping had more and more things, so the contact was broken.

If it weren't for Aunt Yan's inability to do it this time, I'm afraid she wouldn't have contacted her.
