Receiving a hand-painted postcard from Suqian Daily, Zhao Xueming, the female owner of a photography shop in Shuanggou Town, Sihong County, was overjoyed. After a little thought, she said that this hand-painted postcard should be sent to her sister-in-law who is hundreds of miles away, because, in addition to the affection that blood is thicker than water, it is also the warmth that her sister-in-law Cao Xu has given her half a life, and this sister-in-law's love has long been integrated into her own blood.
Zhao Xueming expressed his "micro-wish" in this way:
In life, I always call my sister-in-law Cao Xu my sister.
I remember 3 or 4 years ago, my brother joined the army about two months after being engaged, and every solar term, my mother asked me to give gifts instead of my brother. Every time I go, my sister will prepare gifts for me, there are sweaters, sweaters, gloves, all of which she has knitted by herself; in the summer, there will be sunhats, sandals, etc., and I will comb my braids beautifully, and I can't bear to comb my hair for a week when I go home. Seeing the neat pile of envelopes at the head of my sister's bed, I knew that their love must be sweeter than honey. Because I like my sister and I like gifts, I always look forward to the next holiday season coming soon.
Every day when I pass by my sister's door after school, I will pause to see if my sister will come out. When my sister saw me, she would stuff some good food in my school bag, and sometimes she would deliberately wait for me at the intersection and give me pens and books.
The second year my brother joined the army, my sister went to work in the city, and I was very depressed at that time, afraid that my sister would never come back as soon as she entered the city. It turned out that I was overly worried, and every time my sister came back, she would bring me beautiful clothes and shoes, as well as colorful fruit candies.
The older brother retired after 4 years of service, they also reached the age of marriage, and the older sister returned from the city. Later, I heard my sister's sister say that my relatives wanted my sister to stay in the city and find a city person to marry, but my sister did not agree and decisively returned to marry my brother. The wedding scene was quite big at the time, my sister's family accompanied a lot of dowry, and our family went to six hand tractors to finish.
After marriage, I should change my mouth to call her sister-in-law, I think that will be "angry", I call my sister used to it, she treated me so well, and loved me like a sister, so to this day I still call her sister. My sister and our family get along very well, hard work she did herself, good food and drink are given to us, especially in the years when my brother worked in the county, every time it comes to harvesting crops, my sister will be tired and thin. Dad was busy at work all day and was away from home, my brother and I went to school again, and all the farm work was done only by my sister and mother. Mom's legs are not good, and her knees always hurt, so my sister has become the main labor force, and she always works hard and never complains.
My sister was pregnant, and my brother would bring some snacks and fruits to my sister every day, and my sister was always reluctant to eat it, so I and my brother ate it. I think I really didn't understand things at that time. My niece was born, and my sister, who was busy with farm work, added another burden, and a sweet burden. I knew that my sister was too tired and hurt her, so every time school was over, I would hurry home, and I would leave a little later for school, and help my sister share a little work as much as I could.
In the blink of an eye, I reached the age of marriage. When I got married, my sister prepared me the best dowry for the girls in our village. Later, my brother also got married. Because the family was poor at that time and could not afford to build a house, my sister gave the brick and tile house she lived in when she got married to her brother as a marriage house and moved to live in an earthen house. It is said that the eldest sister-in-law is like a mother, and this sentence is confirmed in the sister's body. Over the years, it is the sister who has run a family in harmony with her broad mind, and every time she thinks of this, she has a heartfelt heartache and admiration. Dear sister-in-law, my sister, you are my role model in this life, in the next life, I will be your sister, double to love you, to repay you! (Reporter Xu Qichong, Zhu Weiwei Correspondent Cao Jie)
