Her surname is Miao and her name is Miao Fang. When I met her, she was already 28 years old and a single mother. She was wearing very simple clothes and combing her hair.
That day, when I passed by the square after get off work, I saw her far away. The reason I noticed her was because she was carrying a child on her back. The child fell asleep on her back, and she was holding a few frog balloons in her hand selling.
I asked her, "How much does your balloon cost, I bought them all."
That was the first time I saw her. One balloon costs 5 yuan, and 13 balloons totaled 65 yuan.
The next day, I saw her again, and I sat on the side of the road with my child on my back and sold balloons. Only then did I realize that I would never buy only the balloons in her hand. I sat next to her and started chatting with her. After chatting too much, I realized how heavy her balloons were.
She said that she is the eldest in the family, with a younger sister and a younger brother, who is studying for graduate school and a younger brother in college.
Remember that when she was very young, her mother ran away from home, leaving her and her younger brother and sister to depend on each other because their father didn't care about them at all.
Miao Fang is the eldest in the family because her father did not pay the tuition for them. She went up the mountain to pick up mushrooms and raised more than 100 yuan. Then she borrowed it from the village chief’s house and helped her brother and sister pay the tuition for her.
19 years old, Miao Fang was admitted to university, but her father was unwilling to pay the tuition, which led to her having to give up her studies because she had a younger brother and sister at home.
At that time, in order to support my younger brother and sister to go to school, Miao Fang sold roasted sweet potatoes on the street. A 19-year-old girl sold sweet potatoes on the street, which would make everyone passing by look at it because it was so special.
In order to pay 4,500 yuan in college tuition to her sister, the eldest sister borrowed all her relatives, but only borrowed more than 1,800 yuan. Later, she could only find the village chief again, which was the remaining money given to her by the village chief.
Once, she found that her younger brother did not go to school, but went to the construction site to move bricks. The younger brother said, "I won't study anymore, just let my second sister study, I will earn money to support the family." At that time, her younger brother was only 16 years old.
Miao Fang was so angry that she slapped her younger brother directly and said, "Remember, as long as I am still here, you will have books to study."
In order to make more money, she often goes out before dawn and goes home very late, working several temporary workers.
25 years old, my second sister was admitted to after graduating from college, but her second sister was unwilling to go to graduate, so she was scolded by Miao Fang, and finally went to graduate.
26 years old, she got married and was very good, and was willing to pay for her brother and sister to go to school. However, when she was 28 years old, her husband died of illness, leaving her and a 1-year-old child behind.
Now, she works outside during the day and sells balloons at night, which is why I see her selling balloons for two consecutive days.
Finally, she told me that her second sister was about to graduate and her younger brother was in college. When both of them graduated, she would not have to work so hard.
After listening to her story, I was deeply touched by me. I think such a beautiful woman should not suffer the hardships of life. She should take care of her husband and children at home.
So, since then, every day after get off work, I would walk by the square, chat with her, listen to her stories, and buy her balloons.
Half a month later, I felt that we were really familiar with each other, so I bought a bouquet of flowers and went to her specifically. I decided to confess my love to her.
However, when I came to the square excitedly, I didn’t see the balloon selling her. I asked the people around me, and they all said they didn’t come today.
I was waiting there, waiting, and it was over 11 o'clock in the evening, and I had to go home disappointed.
However, I think she might have something to do temporarily, so she didn't come. So the next day I bought another bouquet of flowers and went to the square to find her, but she still didn't come.
Day 3 and 4, a month passed, and I suddenly realized that I didn’t even have her contact information. I felt so stupid, so why don’t you leave a phone number first.
It suddenly started raining in the sky. I walked home a little lonely. The rain became heavier and heavier, letting the rain water pour on me, but I didn't know at all.
At this time, an old man patted my shoulder and I asked him if he had anything to do. He said, "Young man, is that person calling you?"
I looked in the direction of the old man and saw a girl across the street waving to me. I smiled, and she laughed, yes, she is Miao Fang.
It was on that day that she confessed to me and I agreed.
Later I found out that she had returned to her hometown because the village chief who helped her passed away, and she went home to visit the village chief.
