I remember that a few days after I received the letter of admission to the secondary school, a strange uncle came to my home. He said that he had found my home address from the Admissions Office and wanted me to go to Jiamusi Metallurgical School with his daughter. I was eager for someone to go with me, so I agreed.
We met at the railway station on the day of departure. Her name is Yuhuan. She is white and chubby, and her eyes are very clear. I liked her at first sight. It was the autumn of 198, when I was nineteen and Yuhuan was sixteen. Since then, this classmate who is three years younger than me has become my best friend.
After going to school for two years, we have bunk beds. When we go to the classroom and the canteen, we are always inseparable, and the upper school should be accompanied. I have been in poor health since I was a child, and I always have headaches. When I feel sick, she will call me back for dinner. When I miss home, she will climb on the bed and cry with me. We stayed together day and night in a hard learning environment and forged a profound friendship. During the holiday, we visited each other, and my parents liked Yuhuan very much. My mother also made a cotton coat for Yuhuan on her own initiative. It was very cold in winter at that time. We went to the city on weekends when we were at school. Yuhuan bought a piece of cloth that she liked and mailed it to my house with my things, so that her father could pick it up and make it into a coat according to her requirements. As a result, her father didn't go to get the cloth. My mother saw that there was a sketch in it, so she bought the lining cotton without authorization and mailed it to school. Yuhuan and I were both surprised. She liked the coat very much and kept wearing it. When I went to her house during the holiday, my uncle and aunt were very warm to me. Every time I went, I stayed for a few days. When I left, I packed a lot of sweet potatoes with seeds at home for me to take home.
? At that time, there were fresh graduates, former students and those who went to the countryside and returned to the city. The age difference was very wide. The oldest was 26 years old, and Yuhuan was the youngest, only 16 years old. The whole class called her "little sister", and even the other two classes called her little sister affectionately as long as they knew each other. Forty years later, people still call her that. This name is not only because she is young, but also because she likes her and loves her. She is intelligent and eager to learn, and she is at the top of all subjects, especially English. She is a famous leader in the whole school and all teachers like her. She is also a strong person. All of us older than her often feel homesick and cry. She never shows homesickness or depression at a time, and she is always full of positive energy.
after graduation, I was assigned to work in the geological team, and my unit was in a ravine in Songjiang Town, Bin County. Yuhuan was assigned to Shuangyashan Iron Mine. Later, she was transferred back to Jixi Hengshan Finance Bureau, then transferred to Jixi Health Bureau, and then to the Municipal People's Congress. Her career has progressed steadily step by step. After graduation, I was assigned to work in the geological team. My resident moved from Songjiang Town in Bin County to Acheng, and I never changed my unit until I retired.
Yuhuan and I have been writing to each other since we left school. As long as I go back to Jixi, we must meet. Yuhuan took me to eat all kinds of delicious food, take a shower and do hair shopping, and bought me this and that like a rich man. Spend more time with me, for decades, every time we meet. She is on a business trip to Harbin, and I will also meet her at her hotel. We have endless conversations. Her role in my heart, from a classmate's best friend to a relative, has been transformed unconsciously. I rely on her more and more, and I can't live without her.
after I settled down in Acheng, my company only has one family leave every year. Yuhuan often visits my mother, and every time she goes, she always takes things for my mother in big bags. My mother was a cadre before the founding of the People's Republic of China. After being transferred to Jixi, she was forced to resign by the unit. Later, she implemented the policy and gave her retirement benefits. When my mother was reading a magazine, she found a policy solution, which said that cadres who had worked before the founding of the People's Republic of China could enjoy the treatment of retiring. My mother told me this matter, which meant that she was just qualified to see if she could look for it and try her luck. I am away from home, and I don't know many people from my hometown, let alone people from government departments. I feel that it is impossible to do this. I asked Yuhuan to take her mother with the magazine and go to the relevant departments. When people said no, her mother would give up thinking about it. Who knows that Yuhuan quit when he saw the document? I am qualified. Why not look for it? As a result, she began to rush about. At that time, my mother's original unit had disintegrated, and the insider who had been in charge of personnel had disappeared. Although it met the conditions, there was no need for any supporting materials. Yuhuan has spent a lot of time, written a lot of materials, ran a lot of roads, and I'm afraid only she knows how many difficulties she encountered. What she didn't hope for was actually done by Yuhuan! I am my mother's own daughter, but I didn't help anything. My mother's salary increased from more than 4 to more than 8, and then increased year by year. By the time my mother died, her salary had increased to more than 1,2. For my mother, it is not only the joy of increasing capital, but also the joy of being recognized for making contributions to the country! In the next few years, my mother's mental outlook has taken on a new look and her living standard has been continuously improved. Every New Year's Day, the government visits my mother with condolences, and this honor has always accompanied my mother in her later years. Later, my mother moved to a welfare home. Yuhuan still visited her often as always, and often went with her parents, leaving money or buying things every time. She also took her friend Jade Qing to visit my mother, and Jade Qing left money for my mother.
I took my mother to Acheng in her later years. Before she died, she wrote a will and gave her inheritance to Yuhuan. This insignificant so-called inheritance expressed my mother's unspeakable gratitude to Yuhuan! My mother once solemnly said to me: She is very happy and contented. Although suffering and illness tortured her for half her life, God gave her a good daughter who is not related by blood! This daughter gives her more love and warmth than her own daughter.
Although I have lost my mother's love, I am not alone, because my sister Yuhuan has always loved me and cared about me. She knows my mind and my illness, and even knows me better than myself. Although we are far away from each other, we always care about each other.
In recent years, there have been a lot of things in her family, but no matter how difficult it is, she won't tell me for fear that I will worry about her. She has always faced difficulties and moved forward. Not long ago, while accompanying her family to treat diseases, she took time off from work to actively learn the concept of healthy health preservation, and established several groups to bring some like-minded sisters into the group, practice healthy eating together, study calligraphy together, study poetry recitation together, and practice Tai Chi together. We practice according to schedule, punch in on time, hand in video, audio and photo homework, find faults with each other, communicate with each other and appreciate each other. Although these sisters don't live in the same place, some have never met before, but we study together in the group, make progress together, and take care of each other like sisters, and our feelings are deepening day by day.
led by Yuhuan, I am as excited as being injected with fresh blood. I have endless homework to do every day, and my life is colorful, full of passion and vitality!
Lu Xun once said: A bosom friend is enough in life. I have no virtue and incompetence, but I have been blessed by the lucky god, and I have met Yuhuan, a good sister. After 4 years of ups and downs, I am not too reluctant to give up. I am very grateful to cherish this blessing given to me by God. With such a bosom friend, what can a husband ask for? !
? Forty years, too many pasts have been fixed in my mind, recalling the warmth of the past, and a sense of happiness arises spontaneously. I just want to say to Yuhuan: Dear little sister, it's good to have you in my life! ! !
