18. The little sister "goes home"
Xing Shaoshan
"In April, the wheat feet are yellow, tofu is blooming, and tea soup is sent. A three-year-old child herded cattle and sheep..." When the children clapped and sang this nursery rhyme, my sister was born in Gaozhuang, west of our village. Because it was born when the broad beans were blooming, the family named it "Xiangdouer". However, her mother suffered from a cold when she gave birth to her and died on the third day after her birth. It’s strange that my mother also gave birth to a boy on the same day and died on the third day of birth. It is said that before and after me, my mother gave birth to boys and they all died one after another. My mother really wanted a girl. The Gao family is three miles away from our Daxing Village. Some people soon said that the Gao family's father is still young and has no experience in raising children, so he wants to give this girl away. When my mother heard about it, she expressed her willingness to adopt it and said that now I have milk, and I will take it from the bottom of my milk, like my own child. In this way, my sister Xiangdouer came to my house.
On the day when the Gao family asked someone to deliver it, the child was wrapped in a small quilt, with birth date and a pair of cakes inside. On the day I arrived at my house, my house was cleaned and my neighbors watched the fun. As soon as the child arrived, he lifted the veil and felt a milky smell on his body. Bai Pupu's face was pink and tender, with two dimples on his face. I looked at her and she suddenly smiled at me, looking very happy. My mother took the baby and kissed her on the face. Her face smiled like a peach blossom, making a "giggle" sound. My mother put her in the prepared nest and shook her. She became happier, slashing her small fists and feet, and looking around. Everyone who went back said that this girl had found a good family.
That's it, the little girl grew up slowly. When I was four or five years old, I was very cute and almost became my little tail. I built a house, beat eggs, and played house. My sister became my most loyal, reliable and capable assistant. She followed me wherever I went.
One year before Mid-Autumn , the Gao family brought a letter to say that water chestnut was launched here. You can bring beans to eat water chestnuts during the Mid-Autumn Festival, and you can also send them to your family to see. Later, her father got back and gave birth to a boy. Later that day, I told my younger sister, I'll take you to the Gao family to play, and she nodded and agreed. Our village is not far from Gao's family. They are on the west ridge of , Huyangwei, and we are on the east ridge. That day, my mother dressed her up beautifully, changed her new clothes and shoes, and wore red flowers on her head. I held her little hand and set off. She jumped and jumped on the road, so happy. When she walked to Tianfanli, she picked up wild flowers and gave them to me.
We arrived shortly after a while. After entering the village, I turned a corner and came to her house. When the family saw that they came, they just stepped into the door and her stepmother went to hug her. She retreated back in a flash, not allowing her to hug her, and hid next to me. At this time, her father took out pastries and water chestnuts for us to eat, and asked us to sit on the table. She always followed me and sat close to me. I ate some and she only ate some. At this time, her stepmother stuffed the money into her pocket, but she refused to take it anyway. In the end, she had no choice but to collect the small red envelope for me. After playing for a while, her family wanted to keep her overnight, so of course I agreed. We agreed and asked me to leave secretly when she was not paying attention.
After some time, I installed it and went to the toilet and secretly walked away. She waited for a while, but when she didn't see me coming back and forth, she searched back and forth, shouting, "Brother, brother!" She cried with a "wow". At this time, the family came up to comfort her. She pulled their hands open, grabbed the door and ran out of the village desperately, and his family followed behind to chase her. She cried and shouted "Brother, brother" all the way, and ran to the bank of the field, fell and got up, got up and fell, with tears on her face, running all the way. She didn't walk through the curved ridges and ran wildly from the fields, stepping on rice piles and mud. The people chasing her behind saw that she was quickly entering Daxing Village, so she had to go back. I hadn't arrived home yet, but she had arrived home. My mother saw that she was so unkempt, her clothes were covered in mud, and her eyes were dirty. She asked her what was going on. She kept crying. Soon I came back and was shocked when she saw her. Why are you running faster than me?I told the whole story, and everyone in the family laughed. My mother touched the little sister's head and said, "If you don't live, wherever you don't live, wherever you don't live, and even coaxed her and said, "We won't go there in the future."
This time I wanted to send my younger sister "to go home", but she couldn't even squat at the home where she was born, so she ran back to the home she thought was her real one.
