It is said that the friendships formed when we are young are the most innocent and lasting.
Yes, looking at this world, apart from blood relatives, the most unforgettable things are childhood playmates, classmates when studying, and those beautiful moments in the past.
At that time, love was just beginning, human nature was pure, and all contacts and interactions were free of any impurities, leaving beautiful memories in life.
My cousin grew up with me and was my classmate. Later, I watched her fall in love, get married, have children, and then go to a foreign country, and I have never heard from her since.
In my life, she is a person that I can hardly forget.
Thanks to the Internet, this invisible but real "road" has allowed us to finally connect after being separated for thirty years.
It seemed that in a blink of an eye, I realized that I was old, and we were all old.
Forty-nine years old, originally not old.
But after forty-nine comes fifty, then fifty-one, fifty-two, fifty-three... then sixty, seventy, eighty, ninety... If possible, there are One hundred, one hundred and one, one hundred and two...
The road to the future seems to be very long, but when we look back at that time, we look at the past like we do today, and the decades are like a blink of an eye. . In the blink of an eye, we grew up, separated, and were no longer young. We almost couldn’t hear each other’s voices and almost couldn’t see each other’s world.
I often look at a road, and at the other end of the road is your innocent smile. Your silver bell-like voice reached my ears: "Third brother, come here quickly, I'll wait for you!"
No matter how long the road in this world is, it will become very short without you; no matter how difficult it is, The road I take is not difficult or dangerous if you are there.
"We are brothers and sisters forever, and I will always remember you." You said to me when we met.
It turns out that you have been at the other end of the road, looking for me and waiting for me.
The time is very long, but we have very little; the years are like songs, but we almost don’t hear each other’s echoes.
I have been scared, I have been uneasy, I have been worried.
When I was a child, I was afraid of the cold brought by the biting north wind in winter, and I was hungry in February and March;
When I was a teenager, I was afraid of the scolding of my parents, the ridicule projected by outsiders, and the uncertainty of my future. The desolation and helplessness;
When I am an adult, I am worried about the hopelessness and helpless loneliness of the future, and where to find happiness and peace in this life;
Now that I am middle-aged, I am afraid that my parents are not as good as their youth. At that time, my health and future generations were as frightened as I was.
I have always been terrified, even trembling alone. I don’t know why all the creatures in this world are born? How much difference is there between living and dying?
I always think back to the innocence and innocence we had when we were children; the years we grew up together, those fragmented memories; after we became adults, we were separated for several years without knowing each other’s news, and in my heart Thoughts that often arise. I am not good at expressing myself, but I always remember that there is another person who is so close to my life, and the trajectory of my life has overlapped with mine for so long.
"Don't worry, it will get dark and light up. As long as you wait, there is hope!" Your little hand, holding my little hand, walked on the country road.
How many times have you stood in front of me, either begging or acting coquettishly, pushing back my father’s calloused hands and shouting: “Don’t hit him, don’t hit him, he is my third brother.” ! ”
You little one have become my protector when I have done something wrong.
After the separation, I didn’t know the news for a long time. I even thought that I would only have memories in this life. Who would have thought that technology would change life and communication would shorten distances. We were separated for such a long time, and you appeared in my life again.
My sister, the woman who was born only ten days after me, and we have witnessed the best years of each other’s lives together. Our grandparents are brothers and our roots come from the same blood. You actually contacted and met me again, and I can hear our childhood calls to each other again, the most innocent innocence we spent together, and we are back to be brothers and sisters with the same heart!
"What is there to be afraid of? Life is full of suffering and joy." You still said to me with a smile, just like you did when you were a child: "The moon waxes and wanes, and people have joys and sorrows. Things in the world In reincarnation, bitterness and joy depend on each other. When bitterness passes, it becomes sweet, which is happiness. ”
Everything in life is just a dream; when you wake up from the dream, your shadow becomes a clear image.
I always remember your birthday because I always remember that I am ten days older than you.
You are the reference and benchmark in my life.
The distance between you and me is only ten days.
Every year when I celebrate my birthday, I say in my heart: "In ten days, it will be my sister's birthday."
I can't remember every birthday we celebrated in childhood. But I remember that before I celebrated my birthday, you came to remind me: "Third brother, your birthday is here.
”
Seeing me silent, you know, it’s because my family is too poor and we don’t even have enough to eat, so what can I do for my birthday? Thank God if I don’t get beaten by my father who is almost crazy because of the torture of life. How can you celebrate my birthday?
You held my hand and apologized: "Third brother, wait, celebrate your birthday with me, and I'll treat you to something good. "
The good thing you gave me was nothing more than a boiled egg, or a handful of peanuts and a few walnuts. Besides, I am ten days older than you, how could I possibly hold on to the time? < /p>
One year, on your birthday, you quietly brought out a bowl of noodles in oil soup cooked by your cousin, secretly called me to the back of the house, and handed the bowl to me: "Third brother, you Pretend today was ten days ago, come and I celebrate your birthday. "
In that era when noodles were more expensive than gold bars, I rarely ate noodles a few times a year. After I devoured half a bowl of noodles, I remembered that this was the "longevity noodles" you were supposed to eat. ".
Hearing my uncle calling you, you snatched the chopsticks from my hand, took the noodles out of the bowl, took my pocket, and put the noodles in without saying anything. "Go in. Then, you took the empty bowl with only noodle soup, and walked back to the house while "eating" as if nothing had happened.
For the ten days you "held it" for me, and this bowl of noodles, I I often burst into tears.
It’s you who gave me the best memories and tenderness in this life. The best thing in the world is that someone remembers you.
Sister, it’s you who gave me the best memories.
Every time I say this in my heart, I wonder: "Another year has passed, has my sister changed? "
The memory of my childhood has become more and more distant, but that bowl of noodles has been imprinted in my heart.
When I eat longevity noodles for my birthday every year, I actually feel Very sad: "Ten days is so far away! "This distance is the distance between our two original families. It's the distance between you and I on our own journeys in life.
When my mother was here, she would cook me one on my birthday. Eggs were secretly given to me as a birthday gift when I was a child. When I grew up, my mother felt that an egg was too light a "gift", but she still boiled an egg for me and asked me to eat it, and she said it very seriously. : “Eat a boiled egg and your worries will roll away like eggs. ”
I will secretly share this egg with you. I hope you can share this happiness with me. I hope you even eat half an egg and have no worries.
After I got married, my wife would cook me a bowl of "longevity noodles" every year; later, my grown-up daughter would also greet me on my birthday; my son-in-law, my in-laws, and my wife's family would also greet me, but I always remember what you gave me. The bowl of noodles I ate, the egg I shared with you.
"Third brother, you have no sisters, I am your sister. "You said.
In my heart, when I am helpless, I regard you as my sister; when you are lonely, you are my sister. We both need the most sincere comfort in this world.
The most ordinary things will become the most precious feelings in memory.
Our parents are farmers, and the days in the countryside are compressed by time. Yes.
If the chickens eat the rice, or if the piglets sneak into the house and eat the pigs, or if your bamboo forest scratches my tiles, the two families will have a loud quarrel.
< /p>The family is a whole, and honor belongs to everyone.
The "war" of the parents makes the children also become "warriors". My brothers and your sisters are also "timely". Join the "battle".
But before your sisters started yelling, you blushed and scolded them: "You are not allowed to speak about adults' matters! "
When your cousin "swept" you with her eyes, you quietly dragged your sisters back to the house with tears in your eyes. Then, you walked out again and whispered to our brothers who were shouting. : “You shouldn’t scold your elders, we are a family. "
When we looked at your begging eyes, we were stunned for a moment, and then we were ashamed. Yes, we are a family, because you are our sister.
Later, We will never take part in the "adults' battle" again.
We won't convince them, but we didn't let our family ties collapse into pieces.
This is what I have been grateful to you for all these years. 1.
In this world, kindness and tolerance are the most beautiful human qualities, which make the road of life wider and wider.
My mother once told me the time when I was born, but I Forgot. I asked my father many years ago, and my father said eagerly: “Wait a minute, I’ll ask your mother-in-law.
"
I was panic-stricken, but what I was waiting for was my mother-in-law's complaint: "You took a long time to give birth, and I don't even know about it. How should I know?" ! ”
A son who didn’t even know the time of his birth, or whether it was day or night, could only laugh at himself: “There are really too many brothers in the family...”
I always thought that in this life, no more people would know my birthday, and no more happiness would be added to my birthday.
I was so discouraged that I suddenly realized. Birthday greetings to you.
"You were born at 11 o'clock at night. "After listening to my "accusation" against my father, you laughed happily: "I heard my aunt (my mother) say it, and I always remember it. ”
Not only do you remember, but you also send me blessings every year. My silent heart is a little surprised.
Although I remember my suffering mother on this day, from the bottom of my heart I don’t pay attention to other formal things, but your greetings are the best gift.
“Now that we are in touch, no matter how far away or busy I am, I will always remember to send you my best wishes on your birthday. you. "The words you said to me ten days ago have always moved me: "I will never forget the birthdays of these three people! ”
It turns out that you not only always remember my birthday, but also the birthdays of several other friends who grew up with us.
In your heart, your childhood friends are A lifelong friend. Everyone’s birthday is the best commemoration of contact with this world. You help us remember how many rings there are in life.
I thought that was the only person who remembered my birthday. There are several, but you have long been one of them, and you are a very important one.
In our big family, only you, my sister, remember my birthday.
In our big family, only you, my sister, always remember my birthday.
I also always remember your kindness.
It is you and I who are ignorant. Growth is because you have never looked down upon me. You are like the warm sun from my hometown, which always shines into my heart.
I also see you as graceful and beautiful as a flower, and I also look at you. Marriage and starting a family are not afraid of hardships, and I can also feel your happiness, kindness, and ups and downs. The good things we have shared in life, as well as the worries about the future, have made brothers and sisters who are not of the same mother closer and more affectionate. .
The older we get, the more nostalgic we become.
Birthdays are the most special memories left to us in life. Only special people will remember special things. He is the most special person.
"No matter how old I am, I am still younger than you. "That day, you said to me with a smile.
In my heart, I regard you as my sister.
Because you are not only tender, but also gentle, gentle and kind.
This kind of kindness is a great love that goes deep into my bones.
No matter if it is ten years or a hundred years, you will still be my sister - the relative who is ten days younger than me.
In my heart, you will always be the simple, kind, elegant and beautiful woman;

I wish your life will always be like this spring day, elegant, happy and happy!
Everyone will meet many people and experience many things in their life, some of which are just a passing thing. , fleeting; some are burned by hot iron on the skin, and memories last forever; some are like birds flying across the sky, fading away; while some people and things are like mountains and rivers in summer, fallen leaves in winter, like spring flowers, Like autumn grass, it seems invisible, but it is not blind. Many memories of childhood are like this. If you don't think about it, you will have nothing.
Life is not easy, but you can do it. Cherish.
