Little sister Zhang Baotong 2016.3.17

The little sister was born clear and beautiful since she was a child, very smart, and articulate, and able to speak. I remember when she was six or seven years old, someone bullied my eldest sister, so she went to find someone to reason, and even told the girl who was seven or eight years older than her to cry.

We live in a bungalow in the family area, and some things in front of and behind the house are easy to cause conflicts. My mother is very stubborn and can't listen to other people's strange words, so she has been kind to the relationship for decades, and sometimes because of a sentence or two or a small thing, she can immediately turn her face and make a grudge with others. Although my brother is at home, his temper is even more stubborn, so he won't reason with you, and he will do it when he goes up, desperately. Therefore, when encountering this kind of thing, it was the little sister who came forward and told others to be reasonable and humble, and the contradiction was resolved.

Therefore, I have always liked Xiaomei very much, and I feel that there are many children in my family, and there is no one who is very promising, and I can only rely on Xiaomei to get ahead in the future. However, the learning atmosphere in our family area and the sub-school was not strong, and Xiaomei went to the UNRWA as soon as she graduated from junior high school. This disappointed me.

My family belongs to a railway engineering unit, and my family is scattered all over the country, and my brothers and sisters usually get together during the Chinese New Year. For many years, people did not go home every year, and the requirements were not very strict. Since my father passed away, my mother is the only one left at home all year round, so I ask everyone to go home every Chinese New Year. Because it's my mom's biggest wish of the year.

In recent years, I have been home every year, and after a long period of contact, I have made many new discoveries about my little sister. Xiaomei is still so dexterous and beautiful, can speak well, treats people warmly, and has a strong sense of family responsibility, and can bring the whole family together.

The little sister is the eldest in the family, but she is the boss's heart. She was worried that my mother was old and home alone, so she called my mother every day at 6 o'clock in the afternoon. Moreover, it is half an hour, so my mother has a chair next to the phone, which is used to answer the phone.

In this regard, I do relatively poorly, I usually don't call home when I have nothing to do, first, I feel that there is nothing important to say, and secondly, I often make long-distance calls, and the call fee is a lot. Therefore, I only made a phone call after sending money to my mother during the Chinese New Year. For this reason, my mother told me that she was illiterate and could not make a phone call, and asked me to call her later. That's why I've only been calling home for half a month.

The little sister not only calls home every day, but also runs back to visit her mother whenever she has time. Last summer, someone from the unit drove from Zunyi to Changsha to run errands, and my little sister and brother-in-law took a car for more than ten hours back to Miluo to visit my mother, and brought a lot of things. Because the car was to return the next evening, they only stayed at home for most of the day before leaving. My family and I were very touched by this. If I were to do it, I would never have to bump back and forth in a cramped car for twenty or thirty hours just to spend half a day at home.

My mother had cataracts in both eyes and couldn't even see when she poured water into a thermos, so my brother and I took her to the hospital a few years ago, but the doctor told her to have another operation after the year. However, after the Chinese New Year, I want to go back to Xi'an, and my sister also goes back to Anhui. At this time, my little sister took the initiative to take a month-long vacation from Zunyi to Chongqing, and then came back by plane from Chongqing, took my mother to surgery, and stayed by my mother's side day and night. In order to reassure everyone, she also called one by one to inform everyone of her mother's operation, so that everyone could rest assured. My mother had surgery, and she had to order eye medicine every day, so my little sister gave her mother eye medicine on time and on time. Because she had to have another eye surgery, the little sister extended her leave time to serve her mother. It turned out that we were all worried about what we would do when our mother had surgery, but my little sister relieved all our worries.

Seeing that Xiaomei is so filial to her mother, some elderly people in the family area are very envious of her mother. There is a lonely neighbor whose son has tens of millions of property, and he has also retired, and he is only a few dozen kilometers away from home, but he rarely comes back to see her. The old man was almost unattended for many years, so she pointed to my little sister more than once and said to my mother, how nice it would be if I had such a daughter!

Our family is a special family, and my father is no longer there when we are very young. Therefore, my brother and sister and I have the surname Zhang, and the younger siblings follow the stepfather's surname Bian. In special families, everyone's personality is somewhat cold and stubborn, and sometimes there will be arguments like the Zhang family. But my little sister is very close to each of us, and always tries her best to unite our family. She cooks for the employees in the unit, with a monthly salary of 3,000 yuan, and her brother-in-law's salary is not much higher than hers. However, if a child in the family wants to buy a house, and whoever has difficulties, he will borrow 30,000 or 40,000, 70,000 or 80,000 yuan, and add up to more than 100,000 yuan. But her son graduated from college and already has a partner, and if he wants to buy a house in Chongqing, he will need seven or eight hundred thousand yuan. She was also worried, but she never mentioned asking others to pay back.

My little sister came back to visit her mother every Chinese New Year, but she didn't want to go to her brother-in-law's house, so she didn't go home this year, but she not only sent 1,000 yuan to her mother in advance, but also made 800 yuan of sausages, bought five Yuxi cigarettes and sent them over quickly, and distributed them to all of us. Because she has a good mouth and is very good to everyone, when there is disharmony between brothers and sisters, she always comes forward first, criticizes this, and persuades that. Because what she says is always reasonable, and everyone is willing to listen to it.

During the Chinese New Year, brothers and sisters get together and play cards all day long. When everyone played cards, they were focused, indifferent, and didn't say a word. But as soon as the little sister got on the table, she talked and laughed, and it was lively. She lost money, and she didn't care. When she wins, she sees who has bad luck, so she doesn't play with anyone's cards, and sometimes she touches the "bomb" and plays it out as a waste card. So, everyone likes to play cards with her.

There are six brothers and sisters in our family, my brother was the director of the grain store, my sister was the best nurse in the Agency's hospital, and I was the secretary of the school. Therefore, our family is very well-known in the seven family areas. But the most well-known, people's favorite is still Xiaomei.

There is a dumb bar in our family area, and we usually nod or raise our hands when we meet, but when I see my little sister, I have to hold her hand, find a place to squat, chatter, write on the ground, and open the mobile phone for her to look at this and that, as if she can't finish talking for many years.

I often go out with my little sister, and when I see acquaintances, I usually say hello, say a few words, and leave. But she wanted to talk to people endlessly, and asked them where the child was now, and whether the child had come back, just like those things were our family's business. I sometimes see her talking to people so hot, endless, waiting impatiently next to her, so she goes first. After that, I asked her if she was so verbose with others, so she said who wouldn't be too verbose to do this? But if you are not good to others, why should people be good to our family? Yes, although my brother and my eldest sister are in the local area, my mother still needs to be taken care of by outsiders, so we should give my mother more people.

During the Chinese New Year, we still have the habit of greeting the New Year. Early in the morning of the new year, my little sister began to go to the old families of each family to visit the New Year on behalf of our family. Sometimes, my mom also let me go out to pay New Year's greetings. But I'm not used to doing that, and so many people have moved to buildings, and I can't even touch the door. Therefore, I usually send a group message on my mobile phone, even if it is a New Year's greeting.

When people come to my house to pay New Year's greetings, I will come out to talk to the people I know and thank them, but sometimes I hide in the back room and don't come out if I don't know them. But whether the little sister knows someone or not, she is very warm and thoughtful to others. Otherwise, the old people in the family area always ask when they see my mother, "Is Xiao Rong back?" and "Is the little girl back?"

Xiaomei not only likes our family, but also the employees and leaders of the unit. She saw that some young workers were late for dinner, and there were no vegetables or no food, so she felt that these children were far away from their parents and their lives were not easy, so she gave them the following or stir-fried vegetables herself. Therefore, the young workers in the unit affectionately call her Sister Bian.

The leaders of the unit often have to invite people to dinner, and sometimes when it is late or it is inconvenient to go out, they ask her to help cook a few dishes, she is always on call, and the dishes are fried well. Therefore, some female workers younger than her have retired home, but the leaders have not let her leave for two years.

My sister was building a railway in the mountains of Guizhou, and when she saw that the farmers next to the construction site were very poor, she gave them some of her own good clothes. She saw an old woman in her seventies who was carrying vegetables to sell in the market all day long, so she asked the old woman to deliver them directly to their canteen, so as not to have to run that long way and stand on the street for so long. Therefore, when the little sister came home for the Chinese New Year, the farmer gave her chicken and meat. If she doesn't want to go, she has to give the money to others.

The little sister has a cheerful personality and never wants to take advantage of others. The son bought a house in Chongqing, the house price was 800,000 yuan, and his girlfriend's family was relatively rich, and he repeatedly offered to pay half of the money. But the little sister disagreed, she said that it was my son who married a daughter-in-law, so why should I ask someone to help buy a house. Therefore, she would rather borrow money from others than let the woman's family pay money.

The most valuable thing about Xiaomei is that she can do many things that everyone can't usually do. These things seem ordinary, but it is very difficult to do, and she never cares about personal gains and losses. Therefore, it is my mother's blessing and my brother and sister's luck to have someone like Xiaomei in our family. She serves her family with hard work and dedication, and uses her intelligence and wisdom to unite everyone closer. Although she is just an ordinary worker, in our hearts, she is the most remarkable.
