The first time, the second time.

Li Zhaodi was waiting anxiously, not daring to breathe.

The gentle voice of the customer service came again from the receiver:

“Yes, Ms. Li.”

“Your application has been approved by our Oriental Medicine Company.”

“You have been selected as one of the volunteers for the clinical trial of the AIDS Elimination Device. We are very grateful for your participation and support.”

“Please bring your ID card to the headquarters of Oriental Medicine Company for a physical examination before 5 o’clock the day after tomorrow.”

“Please keep the tickets or air tickets to Beijing. Our company will reimburse you in full.”

“…”

After hearing the customer service’s words, Li Zhaodi, who couldn’t believe her ears, first widened her eyes.

Then her tears of excitement and joy burst out like a flood.

“Great, great…”

After hanging up the phone, Li Zhaodi squatted on the ground and cried loudly.

Since she contracted AIDS, all the grievances, pain and despair she had suffered seemed to be vented at this moment.

It was not until she squatted on the ground and cried for a long time that Li Zhaodi gradually calmed down.

When she stood up again, her dull and gray eyes rekindled the light of hope!

Looking at the blue sky after the rain, Li Zhaodi took a deep breath and couldn’t help showing a long-lost smile on her face.

However, just when she was about to take a bus from the town to the city, and then take a train from the city to Beijing.

Li Zhaodi, who had recovered from the ecstasy, seemed to suddenly think of something and looked embarrassed again.

Because since she was kicked out of the house by her parents, she only has 75 yuan left.

However, the ticket from Sichuan Province to Beijing by high-speed rail costs more than 800 yuan.

Even the cheapest green train ticket costs 260 yuan.

Although Dongfang Pharmaceutical Company will reimburse the volunteers for the ticket fee after arriving in Beijing.

But now Li Zhaodi doesn’t have enough money to buy even the cheapest train ticket.

Borrow from relatives and friends?

As soon as this idea came to her mind, Li Zhaodi dismissed it instantly.

Because since she was unfortunately infected with AIDS, those relatives and friends all regarded her as a scourge and wanted to avoid her.

Not to mention asking for money, I’m afraid her reputation has been blocked, and she won’t answer the phone.

Just when Li Zhaodi was frowning and thinking about who she could borrow 200 yuan from to buy a ticket,

Suddenly, her eyes lit up and she thought of the Zhifubao Huabei function that she had never used before.

In just two minutes, she followed the process to open and apply for 600 yuan.

After thanking Ma Dad in her heart, Li Zhaodi immediately used the money to buy a train ticket from Tianfu, Sichuan Province to Beijing West Station.

This K118 green train will depart at 22:12 tonight and arrive in Beijing at 5:26 the day after tomorrow.

Although the whole journey takes one day and one night and seven and a half hours, it may be delayed on the road.

But the ticket of only 260 yuan is quite friendly for Li Zhaodi, who is now short of money.

At night…

After taking a bus from the town to the city, Li Zhaodi took the K188 train.

Some passengers in the carriage were chatting and browsing their phones, while others were closing their eyes and listening to music.

Li Zhaodi was looking at the night view of the station outside the window, with a lot of thoughts in her mind.

As the train slowly started, accompanied by the rhythmic clanging sound, Li Zhaodi’s mood became more and more excited and anxious.

She has always been worried whether the AIDS elimination device of Oriental Pharmaceutical Company can cure her disease?

“If there is an accident and I die in the clinical experiment, I can be compensated with 10 million pension.”

“I think… they will be very happy, and they will definitely look forward to my death…”

Thinking of being kicked out by my parents and brother this morning, not only did they throw out all my luggage.

They also threatened to completely sever ties and let me die outside and never come back.

Li Zhaodi’s eyes couldn’t help but turn red again, and waves of bitterness and grievances surged in her heart.

She tried hard not to let her tears fall, took a deep breath, and tried to pull her thoughts back from those painful memories.

At this time…

A middle-aged man sitting opposite her brought a bowl of steaming Master Kong instant noodles.

Smelling the spicy aroma in the air, Li Zhaodi’s stomach was not satisfied.

grumbled.

This morning, she didn’t even have breakfast, and her parents threw her luggage out and drove her out of the house.

After receiving the good news from the Oriental Pharmaceutical Company, she hurriedly bought a ticket and rushed to the city.

Until now, she hadn’t eaten anything all day.

After secretly swallowing her saliva, under the surprised eyes of the uncle opposite.

Li Zhaodi took out a dry steamed bun from her backpack and started to eat it.

In order to save as much money as possible on the road, she bought a bag of steamed buns near the train station.

It’s very cheap, only fifty cents for a fist-sized bun, and one can fill a small appetite.

Li Zhaodi spent four yuan to buy eight, one for a meal is enough for her to go to Beijing.

Just as she lowered her head and chewed with boiled water.

The middle-aged uncle sitting opposite silently took out a bowl of instant noodles and two sausages from his backpack.

Then, under Li Zhaodi’s surprised eyes, he handed it to her and said, “Little girl, eat this.”

“Uncle…Uncle, how can this be done? You still need to eat.”

“You’re welcome. I just brought two more buckets, which is enough.”

“Then…then I’ll transfer the money to you.”

As he said this, Li Zhaodi was about to take out his mobile phone to transfer the money to him.

Seeing this, the middle-aged uncle sitting opposite waved his hands and said, “Little girl, don’t refuse.”

“You look like you’re in trouble. It’s not easy to go out. Everyone has difficulties. I can help you.”

Hearing this, Li Zhaodi felt sad and almost cried: “Uncle, thank you…thank you.”

The middle-aged uncle waved his hand and said with a smile, “Eat quickly. People are made of iron and rice is made of steel. Only when you are full can you have the strength to face life.”

Put a pot of boiling water in it, and the aroma of the instant noodle seasoning packet came to your nose.

Li Zhaodi, who was eating voraciously, had tears in her eyes and felt warm in her heart.

As the two chatted from time to time, the train arrived at Nanchong Station unknowingly.

“Goodbye, little girl.”

After waving to Li Zhaodi with a smile, the middle-aged uncle got off the train with his luggage.

Looking at the other person’s gradually receding back, Li Zhaodi realized that she had forgotten to leave a contact number.

When she hurriedly walked out of the carriage to look for someone, she found that the middle-aged uncle had long disappeared in the crowd.

Looking at the direction where the uncle disappeared, Li Zhaodi felt a lot of emotion in her heart.

This brief encounter also made her understand that although life has many difficulties, there will always be kind people who bring warmth inadvertently.

Just like this broken world, there are always people patching it up.
