Whenever I hear this song, I think of my sister, Xiao Fang. Although the Xiao Fang I know is not so beautiful and has no big beautiful eyes, she is the most beautiful scenery in my heart!
Xiao Fang in my mind is the most beautiful! Her beauty doesn't need flowery words to decorate. From my simple words alone, you can feel her kindness, sincerity, strength, affection and righteousness, sentimentality and understanding!
In fact, Xiao Fang and I haven't been together for a long time, but similar fate has narrowed our distance.
It was in the fourth grade of primary school, and a new girl came to my class. She is not tall and has two pigtails, but her tender little face is full of sadness and timidity. She is Xiao Fang. Coincidentally, she and I are both surnamed Liang, which made us know each other soon.
Gradually, I learned that Xiao Fang lost his mother when he was three years old, and grew up beside his elder sister-in-law, who didn't have enough to eat and clothes. Xiao Fang's short stature may be caused by malnutrition during his growth and development. I'm worried. Maybe I can't stay at my brother and sister's house anymore. Xiao Fang was sent to my sister's house again, so I transferred to our class. I was lucky to meet Xiao Fang.
There are several children in Xiao Fang's eldest sister's family. The eldest seems to be one or two years older than Xiao Fang. This kind of situation is not uncommon in mountain villages in those days, so it is not surprising. Although Xiao Fang is the youngest in the family, he is not treated as a baby. On the contrary, he is ill-fated, which is really pitiful.
There was endless work in the countryside at that time. Not only adults are busy, but also children are busy, and I don't know where there is so much work!
Every day after school, Xiao Fang puts down his schoolbag and goes to work in the fields. Weeding, fertilizing, cutting land ... there is almost no farm work that Xiaofang has not done. Like an adult, she sweated with her sister and brother-in-law and went home at sunset together. At home, Xiao Fang will help her sister cook, feed the pigs, feed the chickens and ducks ... After eating and washing in a hurry, Xiaofang can take out her textbooks and do her homework, but often she has not finished her homework, so she should turn off the lights and go to bed when she gets home. Because he was afraid of wasting electricity, he turned off the lights early. Xiao Fang couldn't say anything but hide in bed and secretly cry. Who can understand her grievances and her difficulties? No wonder such a small child's face is full of sadness!
Although Xiao Fang is often criticized by the teacher for not finishing his homework, Xiao Fang's grades are very good. She is both strong and clever. I remember that I didn't understand the difference between "increase" and "increase to" in mathematics at that time, so Xiao Fang took the trouble to explain it to me again and again until I turned this corner and understood it thoroughly.
Xiao Fang loves to cry. Maybe she can only release herself more in front of us? I remember once, Xiao Fang came to class and cried, and everyone came to comfort him. She sobbed that she was going to become a black household soon, and the village was redistributed, as if to cancel her share, because now she was at her sister's house, not in her own village ... I forgot what happened, except that Xiao Fang's crying made us all cry, and I felt that Xiao Fang was too poor and lonely. Compared with Xiao Fang, I don't know how many times I am lucky. I have never suffered from Xiao Fang or suffered so much injustice from Xiao Fang, although I am also a child who lost his mother since childhood.
When I was about to graduate from the fifth grade of primary school, I said I would go back to the northeast on holiday, and my second aunt sent my brother and me back to the northeast to attend junior high school. Hearing this, Xiao Fang cried at his desk. I was calm when I spoke, but Xiao Fang's crying suddenly made me realize that our separation might become eternal? Maybe, even if we meet again, we don't know when. Thought of here, my tears can't stop flowing down. After the students in the class knew the situation, they all cried and could not bear to part with our brother and sister. Xiao Fang cried more and more fiercely, and no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't help it. The touching scene is still fresh in my memory. At that time, I felt that Xiao Fang would be my friend for life, because we were both children who lost their mothers since childhood, so we appreciated each other better and got to know each other better!
Fortunately, I only left my brother in the northeast, and I pestered my second aunt to take me back to my hometown in Hebei.
When junior high school started, Xiao Fang and I were lucky enough to be assigned to the same class. Xiao Fang was very happy to see me back. Our friendship is getting deeper and deeper. After two years together, I'm going back to the northeast. Xiao Fang was sad, but didn't cry. After all, we have all grown up and learned to hide and control ourselves. Our four good sisters met at the weekend and rode to the town to take a group photo together. Four youthful faces are always fixed on black and white film, which is worth cherishing for a lifetime!
That's five or six years! During this period, I had correspondence with Xiao Fang. Knowing that I had only been in high school for half a year, I had to drop out of school to work in Beijing to earn money to support myself. I really sympathize with her, but there is nothing I can do except comfort her verbally!
A few years later, I returned to my hometown and met my second aunt and relatives who I missed very much. I haven't seen Xiao Fang. Asking around, I finally got in touch with another good friend Xiao Liu. Liu Ye Jr. is in Beijing, where is it not far from Beijing? I really wanted to meet them, so I got on the bus to Beijing.
At that time, I had just entered the society, and Xiao Fang and Xiaoliu were three or four years earlier than me, which was the most confused and confusing time when life started.
Xiao Liu still lived in the basement at that time, which was very wet and cold. She works hard every day and sleeps in a damp basement at night. She lived there for several years.
Xiaofang rented a cabin less than 10 square meter, and he had to cook and sleep in it. The conditions were tough, but Xiao Fang was happy. She said it was much better, and it was even harder when she first came to Beijing.
At that time, she had just turned 15 or 16, and had not yet reached the legal age of employment, so she could only work as a typing apprentice. Later, when I became a typist, I couldn't earn much money in a month. After paying the rent, it is difficult to eat and drink. Sometimes it takes a week and there are only a few packets of instant noodles left in my hand. Now, through hard work, she has become a company employee and her life is not so tight. Moreover, she is studying at night school while working, preparing to get a college diploma, which will make it easier to find some jobs and pay much better. Listening to her understatement and looking at her warm smiling face, I can feel that life is bitter but sweet in Xiao Fang now. Because she can stand on her own feet and never have to rely on others again. She has a small world of her own, even if it is only the size of a palm, but she is free and happy, without oppression and bondage, which is very gratifying. Looking at the changes in Xiao Fang, I am also sincerely happy for her!
Those few days in Xiaofang were the unbearable summer in Beijing. There is no air conditioner in the room, not even a fan. Like a steamer. After work, Xiao Fang takes me to the video hall or the shopping mall, because there is air conditioning there. I saw two sets of inexpensive skirts when I was shopping. Xiao Fang asked me if I looked good. Which one looks better? I looked at it carefully and said, I think it's all good and suitable for you. She said, then take it all. Then let the salesperson wrap it. After paying the money, she stuffed both clothes into my hand and said, you can't even return them. I was speechless, and I felt something in my throat!
I'm leaving, Xiao Fang is not leaving. She said that Beijing was not easy, and she wanted to visit the scenic spots anyway. So, that day she deliberately asked for leave and made an appointment with Xiao Liu. We rowed in the Summer Palace, took photos, and took photos together.
When I left, I was really sorry. I took a small gold ring from my hand and gave it to Xiao Fang as a souvenir, but Xiao Fang turned me back in a few words. I slipped some money under her pillow when she wasn't looking, but she was smart and suddenly stuffed something into my bag at the moment I got on the bus. The car started, but her phrase "put your things away" kept ringing in my ear.
When I got married, I suddenly received a Beijing express. When I opened it, I saw a red greeting card, a glittering congratulatory message, sincere greetings from Xiao Fang and a delicate red envelope. I burst into tears in an instant.
Xiao Fang doesn't know the exact date of my wedding, only that I'm getting married. However, at my wedding scene, I received this precious gift unexpectedly. Where is this gift? This is clearly Xiao Fang's golden heart! How can I not cry with joy?
I have always cherished this gift. Take it out from time to time and caress it, and it will breed warmth in your heart and a sweet smile on your face unconsciously. Unfortunately, when I moved, because I was not at the scene, many of my treasures were lost in that move. I am very sad!
After that, for a long time, we lost contact because of moving, changing jobs in Xiao Fang and various trivial matters in life. Later, a classmate contacted me and pulled me into the class, and I heard from Xiao Fang again. Knowing that Xiao Fang got married, had children and settled in Beijing, the conditions are getting better and better now. I am really happy for her from the bottom of my heart.
In fact, the good days in Xiaofang are not always smooth. Before Xiao Fang reached the door, her mother-in-law was paralyzed in bed. Fate did not pity Xiao Fang. On the contrary, Xiao Fang's life path was full of thorns, as if he had to go through many hardships to make Xiao Fang suffer. Xiao Fang was not intimidated by difficulties. While working, she and her husband take care of the children in shifts, and she will also make time to help her father-in-law take care of her mother-in-law. Time flies. Now that the child is taller than her head, her mother-in-law can sit in a wheelchair and go out in the sun in clothes carefully bought by Xiao Fang. Is this a painful experience?
Time really flies! It's almost twenty years since we broke up! In a blink of an eye, we are about to enter middle age, and we are afraid to think of it. Time waits for no one!
On the eve of the Spring Festival, the trip I planned for nearly half a year finally came true. I'm going back to my hometown. I'm going to see my missing relatives, Xiao Fang, and my classmates. This excitement even kept me awake all night.
At the moment I left, Xiao Fang sent me a WeChat red envelope, saying that she wanted me to buy something delicious for her second aunt. She said that her second aunt was so good that she even gave her pancakes when she was a child ... I didn't open the red envelope. She told me to open it, both hard and soft, but I was indifferent. I already feel her sincerity, why not just open it? (Afterwards, I told my second aunt that it was rare for Xiao Fang to have such a caring child. )
My second aunt lives near Beijing. So many of my classmates have chosen to develop in Beijing, and now they are all doing well. Knowing that I was going back, the students were very enthusiastic and said they would meet me at the station. Thank you for your kindness, but Xiaofa, who is closest to Beijing Railway Station, is also one of my best sisters on the night of the 27th of the twelfth lunar month. Under the auspices of Xiao Fei, my classmates in Beijing finally got together and met Xiao Fang and his classmates. We haven't seen each other for nearly twenty years! Xiao Fang's appearance hasn't changed at all, but she is more mature and feminine than before. The little girl has withstood the test of life and can finally live a comfortable and happy life. I'm so happy for her!
Because time is short and there are many classmates, I can't talk to Fang alone. I'll discuss it in detail when I get back.
I don't know when I was blessed. My classmates are all too kind to me. That night, Xiao Fei and Xiao Liu argued for me to stay at home with them, or they would book a hotel. I don't want them to spend too much money or disturb their families at home. After weighing the left and right, I went to the nearest Xiao Fei's house. Xiao Fang is too far away, and I have to catch the early bus the next day, so I waved goodbye to Xiao Fang that night.
The excitement of reuniting with relatives after such a long separation is not mentioned for the time being. When she was about to return to China, Xiao Fang called one after another and said that the last weekend of her return trip must be left to her. She has worked out a tour route for me in Beijing, and she can stay with me for two days. I originally planned to stay in Beijing for a few more days, but I really didn't want to disturb their work and life plans, so I refused again and again, making excuses to say that I was not used to having you with my husband. Xiao Fang said that I would only stay for one day, okay? ...
Because I wanted to stay at my second aunt's house for two more days, I politely declined Xiao Fang's travel plan to push Huairou Great Wall. Xiao Fang contacted all the food and shelter, but I pushed her away cruelly, which failed Xiao Fang's heart. In fact, I really can't bear to disturb Xiao Fang too much. Finally, there is a weekend, but I still have to stay. How can I stand it?
Xiao Fang called again and said, don't let me accompany you, ok, but you must come to me first when you come to Beijing. I have booked a hotel and made an appointment with other students. It's up to you. Also, I have a camera for you. My pixels are good. Then I gave you two bus cards to take the subway bus. You two have been playing in Beijing for a few days, and I'll send you the tourist attractions and bus route maps worth seeing later ... I'm speechless, only grateful and moved! Xiao Fang, how can I be ashamed of your thoughtfulness?
Eldest brother drove us to Beijing. As we haven't arrived at the scheduled meal time, all the students who arrived first have gone to China Hewlett-Packard Building, where Xiaofang works. Because it was Sunday, Xiao Fang took us to the living room, looked at the spacious and bright working environment in Xiao Fang, and looked at the cheerful Xiao Fang, who was busy bringing us tea and water. I really want to say, the old naive eyes, Xiao Fang's bitter days finally came to an end.
On the day of the return trip, Xiao Fang called early and asked us to check out the room and go directly to her office. She has asked for leave, just in time to have lunch with us. We can finally sit down alone and have a long talk.
We talked all afternoon. Talk about our childhood, talk about our little things together, talk about our family, talk about our life, talk about our work … When it comes to sad topics, we are speechless; When it comes to happy things, we bow our heads. I wish we could have a long talk like this, but the departure time is getting closer and closer!
Xiao Fang insisted on taking me to the station and watched me get on the bus. In front of the station, she took out a box of canned food and a bag of red dates from her bag. She said that these are local specialties I bought when I traveled to Wuyishan. Please try them. Then he handed me a delicate handbag. She said, this is my little gift, a wallet, as a souvenir. Goodbye. I don't know when. I was surprised, speechless, and felt tears. ...
Xiao Fang, Xiao Fang, how much debt of gratitude have you made me bear? Over the years, you have been paying for me, but when I wanted to express my mind, you refused so categorically. Why not give me a chance to express my gratitude? How can you get me into debt? ...
The train is coming into the station. Xiao Fang and I hugged each other and said goodbye. I held back my tears, but I said to myself in my heart, Xiao Fang, remember your deep friendship. There is still plenty of time, so do it and cherish it! I will never live up to this friendship!
My clumsy pen makes my writing complicated and lengthy. I don't know if you feel the kind, sincere, strong, sentimental and sentimental Xiao Fang through my narration. I want to use this article to commemorate our true, pure and profound friendship! Again, do it and cherish it!
