Yang Zhaozhao sent him to the hospital. Xiao Xiao stood guard at the door of the operating room, crying with tears in her eyes and red eyes. The only person she could rely on was Yang Zhaozhao: "Sister, will my grandpa die?"

"No, the doctor will save him." Yang Zhaozhao thought of what the doctor said. If it was a little later, the person might not be able to be saved. There was still a glimmer of hope.

"They all say that I'm a jinx, a bad kid. My parents were killed by me, and my grandfather is like this because of me." Xiaoxiao loathed herself, her eyes full of self-blame.

Seeing Xiaoxiao blaming herself so much, Yang Zhaozhao touched her head and said, "You are right, they are just talking nonsense."

"Should I not have come into this world?" Xiaoxiao raised her head and looked at Yang Zhaozhao pleadingly, hoping to get the courage to live from her.

"You are your parents' baby. Their death has nothing to do with you. They were very happy when you were born." Yang Zhaozhao comforted this small, broken heart.

Xiao Xiao cried, tears streaming down her face: "Wow, since mom and dad love me so much, why don't you take me with you? I'm really tired of living."

Yang Zhaozhao hugged the crying Xiaoxiao and said, "You will get better in the future. You will get better. Xiaoxiao, be strong. Your parents want you to help take care of your grandpa."

"But grandpa is going to die too!" Xiaoxiao looked at the closed door of the operating room in despair.

"No, your grandfather can't bear to let you go." Yang Zhaozhao didn't know what the situation was inside, so he could only comfort Xiaoxiao in this way.

However, Yang Zhaozhao was not slapped in the face.

The door of the operating room opened, and little grandpa was pushed out. The rescuer arrived, and he needed to stay in the hospital for a few days to observe his condition.

Knowing that grandpa was still alive, Xiaoxiao started crying again and followed the bed to the ward.

Yang Zhaozhao received the bill and went downstairs to pay it. The medical expenses were not low, but the patient was still alive.

When Yang Zhaozhao went to pay the bill, she saw Xiaoxiao holding her grandfather's hand, reluctant to leave. The grandfather and granddaughter, who depended on each other for life, neither of them wanted to leave at this moment.

Yang Zhaozhao knew from a young age that they had no relatives or friends, only the grandfather and his grandson.

Since he had intervened, Yang Zhaozhao couldn't just leave it alone: ​​"Xiaoxiao, can you stay with Grandpa?"

"I can, thank you, sister!" Xiaoxiao knew that if it weren't for the big sister in front of her, her grandfather would have no money for medical treatment: "Sister, we will make money to pay you back."

"There's no rush. I'm just a little sad. You can't leave your grandfather here. I'll ask an aunt to stay here with you later." Yang Zhaozhao did have some worries.

A small nod.

The hospital can hire nurses, because everyone is in difficulty, and those who can take care of themselves are taken care of by their own family members.

In a situation like Xiaoxiao's family's, they can only hire a caregiver, but Yang Zhaozhao doesn't have the time.

I hired a temporary caregiver to take care of me for two dollars a day.

"Here are some food. If you are hungry, take some and eat. There are also water cups. If you need anything else, just ask Auntie Zhao for help."

Xiaoxiao nodded: "Thank you, Sister Zhaozhao!"

Yang Zhaozhao touched her head and walked out of the hospital.

Li Yiling knew that she didn't go to school in the morning. Seeing Yang Zhaozhao, he frowned and asked, "What happened?"

Yang Zhaozhao told Li Yiling about Xiaoxiao's grandfather's situation, and Li Yiling said, "If there is a situation like this in the future, let someone else handle it. I'm worried if I can't find you."

"It would be great if we had a cell phone. If that doesn't work, a pager, a PHS, or a big brother will do!" Unfortunately, these things aren't available yet.

As for pagers, it will take a few more years.

"Let's have a telephone in our house from now on!" It's really frustrating not being able to find someone. If we had a telephone, we could also communicate.

Li Yiling agreed: "I'll go ask some other day and I can get one at home."

Yang Zhaozhao nodded.

After finishing their own work, they went to the hospital after school and brought some things, including Xiao Cui's old clothes that she could no longer wear.

I've been eating more recently and have grown taller, so my old clothes are either too short or too small.

And Xiao Cui is one year older than the other children.

When we arrived at the hospital, Xiao Xiao was arguing with someone: "That belonged to my grandfather. My sister saved it for him to eat. You can't eat our malted milk!"

"I just drank one spoonful." Aunt Xiao Zhao defended.

She looked at a child and an unconscious old man. After asking a few questions, she found out that no one was home and that Yang Zhaozhao was a passerby, so she began to show her true colors.

"Not even one spoonful is enough. Sister Zhaozhao has given you money, you can't take advantage of us anymore!" Xiaoxiao is not stupid but stingy. There is nothing in their house since they were young.

Those were all rare things. Xiaoxiao was reluctant to eat them herself, and wanted to leave them for grandpa.

When Yang Zhaozhao arrived, he looked at the two men who were on edge and asked, "What's going on?"

Aunt Xiao Zhao panicked for a moment and began to defend herself.

Xiaoxiao held the remaining half can of malted milk and cried: "Sister..."

Looking at the guilty Auntie Xiao Zhao, Yang Zhaozhao still had something to understand: "Your spoon is really big. You took out half of the can with one spoon?"

Aunt Xiao Zhao hesitated: "I...I don't know either. Maybe she ate it herself!"

"I've learned something today from someone who did something wrong and still blames a child for it." Yang Zhaozhao was angry. She said, "I'm not asking you to pay for a whole can. Give me the money for half a can, and you're fired."

Auntie Xiao Zhao was unwilling: "I have been here for a long time."

"You even ate half of our can of malted milk!" Yang Zhaozhao settled the bill with her: "Seven dollars for one can, you give us three dollars."

"Bah, don't even think about it!" Aunt Xiao Zhao revealed her ugly and unreasonable nature. She looked at the pale, thin and delicate Yang Zhaozhao, thinking she was bullying her.

I just gave him a push and wanted to teach Yang Zhaozhao a lesson.

Yang Zhaozhao's eyes darkened, and he twisted her hand, causing her to scream in pain.

Yang Zhaozhao was not going to let it go. He grabbed her hair, pressed her against the wall, and banged her head against the wall, causing her to see stars. Knowing how powerful Yang Zhaozhao was, the other party begged for mercy.

"I was wrong, I will compensate you. Isn't it enough for me to pay you money?" Aunt Xiao Zhao pleaded.

Yang Zhaozhao saw that it was almost done, so he let go of her hand: "Give me the money and get out, or don't blame me for being rude!"

Because of Yang Zhaozhao's cruelty, Aunt Xiao Zhao left behind three dollars in bills and ran faster than anyone else, with only half a can of malted milk in her pocket. She didn't even get her wages and was deeply at a loss.

Yang Zhaozhao took the money and said to Li Yiling, "You stay here tonight. I'll take the people home and find someone else to stay tomorrow."

Li Yiling nodded.

Yang Zhaozhao took out a folding bed from the space so that he could rest at night, and also a thick quilt, which was tattered and in Yang Zhaozhao's favorite color.

Li Yiling didn't feel disgusted at all, because she knew that she had covered it before.

"Thank you for your hard work!" Yang Zhaozhao had no choice but to stay with the old man.

Li Yiling shook his head and said, "Be careful when you go there. Don't worry, I'm here."

Yang Zhaozhao nodded.

After they left, Li Yiling read and studied in the corridor, holding the hot water bottle left by Yang Zhaozhao, under the light of the corridor.

Xiao Cui was a little unhappy when she saw Xiao Xiao coming home.

Xiaoxiao was a little reserved and looked at Xiaocui in a nagging manner: "Sister Xiaocui, it was Sister Zhaozhao who brought me here."

Xiao Cui: “Humph!”

Seeing Xiaocui's thoughts, Yang Zhaozhao and Sun Xiaoyan said to Xiaocui when they took Xiaoxiao to wash up: "Her grandfather is sick, just like Grandma Cui's situation. If I don't help, she will be alone and pitiful."

Xiao Cui felt the same way: "Sister Zhao Zhao, will you treat Xiao Xiao the same way as you treat me in the future?"

Yang Zhaozhao shook his head: "Xiao Cui is unique, I will only love you more."

Hearing her say this, Xiao Cui breathed a sigh of relief: "I know I'm not a kind child. I'm afraid that my sister will not want me after she has Xiao Xiao!"

"No, she is she and you are you." Yang Zhaozhao rubbed Xiaocui's chubby face: "You will always be our little baby!"

Xiao Cui laughed, and her laughter was particularly satisfied.
