I have a little friend who is 33 years younger than me. I am so much older than her, the adults said that I should be called “auntie”, but she always called me “sister” with a face full of joy.
Tong Yan Wuji, complacent in my heart, it turns out that I am not old, but a young sister. Who would doubt the innocence of a little girl less than three years old! They have not yet learned the sophistication of adult hypocrisy. So every time she called her sister, my heart was soft and messy, and I willingly played games with her, sang and danced, and chatted with her.
It was really fun to play with my little sister! If you forget time, you can play purely without worry and sadness. Tears and sudden tempers come and go quickly, and the next moment is always clear. You just need to bend down and listen carefully, take a look at her world, hold her little hand, hug her, and soon the rain will pass. There is no unbearable yesterday and haze in the world.
Recently sick and lethargic. Going out for a walk after dinner, the air after the rain is filled with the scent of camphor trees, and the pomelo flowers are blooming just right.
I passed by my little sister’s house and didn’t say hello to her, but my little sister saw me walking away and yelled at my sister enthusiastically from behind. I had no choice but to walk back and wait for her, for fear of disappointing her hospitality. She likes to play with me. We talked as we walked, and it was always fun to talk to children, and they would never ask you embarrassing questions, like why you didn’t go to work, why didn’t you get married. She just wants to play with you sincerely. I told her about the scent of flowers, plants and trees in the air, and the fish in the pond jumped out of the water. The little sister’s words were incomplete, but after listening to her babbling and gesturing, I probably figured it out.
On the way back, she squatted down to pick up the mud on the road, and I knew she was going to stick them to the wall, which is her latest hobby. I just waited and said: There is a piece of chicken shit next to me, be careful. The little sister was digging the mud attentively, not caring at all. When it got dark, I turned on the flashlight of my mobile phone and stuck mud on the wall according to her. I don’t know if she’s drawing or playing games like stickers, but it’s pretty similar. Sometimes the mud fell off, she would pick it up and stick it up again, waving her hands happily, babbling singing, and admiring her masterpiece. No one knew what the song she sang and the mud on the wall meant. It was a world of innocence that adults couldn’t reach, and I was fortunate to be invited by her to watch the joy. It’s a pity I can’t participate, I’ve grown into an adult who is no longer naive.
After the mud was pasted, she went into the house to find a watering can and a small bucket. I knew she was going to water the flowers and plants. We played together last time. I filled the bucket with water, but she couldn’t lift it, so I carried it to the flowerpot and watched her fill the toy watering can, one basin after another. I said with some worry: little sister, the water has flowed out of the flowerpot, and the flowers and plants will die. She answered crisply: No, it was a lot of fun.
After watering, she pushed out her little car again, patted it and said, “Sister is coming.” I had to tell her that I was too heavy to sit. It is always fun to play with children. Because of the stomachache, I had to say goodbye to her in advance. She waved reluctantly: Sister, come tomorrow! I promised her, but always failed many times. I’ve been feeling so unwell recently, and I can’t even play with her.
The world of adults is always full of troubles, but every adult in the vicissitudes of life was once a naive child! May my little sister grow up and be as happy as she is now.
