Wandering away for a long time, the wanderer often remembers the story of going down the river in his hometown, because the hometown is the root of my life, where every grass and tree, brick and tile, and one person and one thing are worth remembering and worrying about.
Still two years ago, the 10th anniversary of my mother's death, my wife and I went back to my hometown to do old things for my mother with my brother and sister-in-law, and what made me most emotional was that most of the healthy elders in my childhood impression had left us, and the most incredible thing for me was that her once healthy and lively young and beautiful childhood partner Xiaomeizi was also gone, which made her mother very sad.
When I saw that Xiaomeizi's mother was helping to choose dishes at her brother-in-law's house, I kindly called the eldest sister (the name of the old family), the eldest sister nodded to me and smiled kindly, I sat next to her, and the eldest sister said to herself: "My little Beauty is also too much, she went happily, leaving us alone." ＂
I didn't react at first, thinking that Xiaomeizi ran away from home, and later learned in further small talk with the eldest sister that Xiaomeizi had a serious illness two years ago, and the treatment was ineffective and died, leaving the family behind. When the eldest sister talked about XiaoMeizi, she had a bitter smile of helplessness on her face, and tears flashed in her eyes, and she said that Xiaomeizi was not blessed!
Xiao Meizi is in the same village as me, the sister of one of my classmates Fang Jun, with natural curly hair, a pair of bright eyes, and a particularly sweet voice when she speaks, since she joined the army, Xiao Meizi has also married, and has never seen each other again.
Xiaomiko's father is a big tall, long a little black, when she was young in the northeast did hard work to carry wood, Xiaomeizi and her brother rarely saw her father's face, whenever her father came back from the northeast, there was always a sense of distance strangeness, her brother saw her father, I never heard him called daddy, just bluntly called a written "father", people feel strange.
The eldest sister vigorously praised Xiaomeizi's good deeds when she was alive, only to blame her for not waiting for her parents to leave. The white-haired man sends the black-haired person, which is a major tragedy in the world, and I have witnessed such a scene many times, which is the pain of the liver and intestines.
The eldest sister told me about Xiaomeizi, I did not know how to comfort her for a while, only advised her to take more care of her body, at least a filial son will take care of you, Xiaomeizi in the spirit of heaven will certainly bless you.
In our time, there were many childhood playmates in the same village, in addition to the little friends of boys such as Da Shunzi, Xiao Huazi, Xiao Yezi, Xiao Lin Jun, Xiao Caizi, Xiao Lin, etc., there were also a group of little girls' playmates such as Xiao He brother, Xiao Meizi, Xiao Meizi, Xiao Zhenzi, etc. At that time, we played together very simple, and when we came home from school, we cut pig grass together, picked wheat ears together, and played hide-and-seek together, which was a truly carefree age.
Xiaomeizi is gone, leaving her parents in the lonely world, I hope that Xiaomeizi's parents will get out of their sorrows as soon as possible, take care of their bodies, and enjoy their own drunken sunset.
