My name is Zhang San, I am 72 years old this year, and I am an ordinary rural old man. I live in a small mountain village called Happy Village, which is a typical "paradise" with spring all year round, beautiful environment and people living in harmony. My wife has been dead for ten years, and my children are all working in the city, so I am the only one in this old house.
Every day, I go for a walk in the mountains to enjoy the fresh air and beautiful scenery. There is a wide meadow covered with all kinds of wildflowers, which are colorful and beautiful every spring.
One day, I came to Happy Ridge as usual, ready to start my daily walk. When I was halfway up the mountain, I suddenly heard a familiar laughter.
"Oh, isn't this Uncle Zhang from our village, why do you come here for a walk?" a familiar female voice came into my ears.
When I looked back, it turned out to be Sister Li from my village, a neighbor I had known for many years. Sister Li is in her early fifties, petite in stature, with a kind face, and is a very good person to get along with.
"Oh, it's Sister Li, why don't you come here for a walk too?" I replied with a smile.
"yes, the scenery is so beautiful, I often come here for walks. You live alone, aren't you afraid of being too lonely?" Sister Li asked with concern.
"My children are all working in other places, and I'm used to it alone. I said frankly.
We just walked and talked, talking about family life, talking about things in the village. Time passed quickly, and it was evening in the blink of an eye.
"Uncle Zhang, I have some fresh vegetables at home, would you like to come over for dinner tomorrow?"
I was a little surprised, but I happily agreed.
The next day, I arrived at Sister Li's house on time, and Sister Li warmly received me, and the table was full of all kinds of fresh vegetables and delicious dishes. We ate and chatted and the atmosphere was very pleasant.
After dinner, Sister Li invited me to her garden to see the flowers. Her garden is full of flowers, especially roses, which are in full bloom and fragrant.
"Uncle Zhang, do you know? I grow all these flowers in my house, and taking care of them every day is my greatest pleasure. Sister Li said proudly.
I watched her take care of the flowers and plants, and I was a little moved. This seemingly strong, but actually full of tenderness in her heart, made me feel the urge to protect her.
Our relationship gradually deepened, we often walked together, chatted together, and life became very meaningful. Sister Li gradually became an indispensable part of my life.
However, just as the relationship was getting better, an unexpected circumstance broke our peace.
"Uncle Zhang, I decided to go to the city to live with my son, I can't stay here anymore. "Sister Li told me.
I was shocked, I didn't expect such news to come so suddenly. I know that I will miss her very much if Sister Li leaves, but I also don't want to prevent her from reuniting with her son.
"Sister Li, you should go and be with your son, this is the best choice. I encouraged her.
Sister Li's eyes flashed with gratitude, and then she hugged me tightly.
"Thank you, Uncle Zhang, if I have the opportunity, I will come back to see you. She said.
I nodded, although I was a little reluctant in my heart, but I knew that this was the choice that Sister Li made for her future.
After Sister Li moved to the city, we still kept in touch, she often called to ask about my situation, and I would also tell her about the new things in the village. Although we may not see each other often, our hearts are always connected.
A few years later, Sister Li's son got married, and Sister Li happily told me that she was going to invite me to the city to attend his son's wedding.
I gladly accepted the invitation and set foot on the land of the city for the first time. Sister Li received me warmly, her home was very beautifully furnished, and her son's bride was also a gentle and kind girl.
At the wedding scene, I saw the happy smiles of Sister Li and her son, and I was very happy for her.
After the wedding, I said goodbye to Sister Li and returned to my small mountain village. Although Sister Li is no longer by my side, I know that our friendship and relationship will continue forever.
This is the heartwarming story between me and Sister Li, although in the end we were separated due to life reasons, our hearts are always closely connected, and this relationship will accompany me every day for the rest of my life.
