"Xiao Yao, wait until you finish eating, go up and clean up, I'll send you back."

Give...... I'm going back? "Where are you going?"

"Send you back to your mom and dad."

"Aren't you my mother?"

"You should go back to living with them."

"I don't want ......"

"No more talk, let's eat."

"Mom's ......"

That morning was the last time I called her mom.

Everything came too suddenly, and left suddenly, without any preparation and hesitation, hasty and absurd.

The morning was as brisk as ever. The cicadas outside the house began to look tired and fragile at the end of summer, and the young leaves of the branches began to turn yellow and curl lifelessly, all in a sign that summer was about to leave.

The atmosphere of laughter at the small breakfast table is gone, replaced by a chilling conversation. With her firm and cold words, my sister's hand holding chopsticks froze in the air, and her face sank.

The wind pouring in from the courtyard through the fence gate was mixed with a hint of autumn at some point, and it made my heart cold.

A sudden decision separated me from my sister and ended the end of the summer vacation and the end of the summer season.

"Xiao Yao, come, she is your sister, Nan Feng."

“……”

"Call sister, be polite."

"Sister."

"It's your mom, call her."

"Don't I already have a mom? Why do you call her mom? ”

"If you want to call it, you will understand later."

“……”

"Call it."

"Mom......"

……

I don't know how long the time has passed, I just know that it was an ignorant time.

That winter, I was reunited with my beautiful hometown after a long absence, and I was separated from my sister for nearly ten years. My adoptive mother took me downstairs to their house, the door was closed, and the windows upstairs were dimly lit, which was very heartwarming in the dark night. She made a phone call, like she was calling someone down.

The wind was biting in the night, and I rubbed my cold hands into my palms, and a cloud of white mist dispersed from the air, and was soon swallowed up by the cold air without a trace.

Shortly after the phone hung up, the sound of slippers sounded from behind the door, and a girl pulled open the heavy iron door, she was wearing a red sweater and a black ponytail, and she looked at us with a slightly rusty look in her eyes - she was my sister.

My mother and I were just guests there that day and then left in a hurry, and I was confused by what the adults were saying. As my eyes wandered around the empty house, I always caught a casual glimpse of the sister next to me, who listened intently to the adults and cast friendly glances at me from time to time.

My vague memories seem to have been shattered since then, and I have forgotten how I left that day...... And what kind of words did you speak......

They stayed in my memory for a short time, and although I never forgot them, I sometimes forgot them. Because the next time I met them, it was many years later.

I don't know how long it has been, but I just know that the summer cicadas are still familiar.

……

In the summer of 2009, I returned to my hometown for the third time.

This time, the stay is no longer short, it is a whole summer.

This parting is no longer indifferent, it is ......

What is it?

……

Helpless?

"Mom, she's my real sister!"

"Tomorrow, I'll take her back to her parents."

"Don't! No! "

"Uh......h Mom! I'm going to play with my sister all the time! "

"Obedient! If you cry again, I'll hit you! "

Disappointed?

"Sister, I want to play at home!"

"Sister, I want to see magic Milu Milu!"

"Sister, I want to play in school!"

"Sister, I want to draw comics!"

"Sister, you have to hold on to me!"

"Sister, you're going to tell me a story outside!"

"Sister, let's hum the theme song of Magic Milu Milu!"

"Sister, let's play the flute of magic Milu Milu!"

"Sister, can we play together all the time?"

"Sister......

"Sister...... I don't want to go......"

"Sister..."

Sad?

"Sister, make a wish on the mug and it will come true."

"Ah...... Then let's make a wish! ”

"What is my sister's wish?"

"I wish I could always play with my sister all the time."

Remorseful?

"Sister, I don't want to go back."

"Sister, no matter how good the high-rise buildings in Shenzhen are, I am not happy with my sister."

"My sister is the most important person in my world!"

"Sister......

……

I don't know how much time has passed, I just know that that memory never went far.

I still remember that long and happy summer, waiting in the alley every Friday evening for my sister's figure to appear at the end of the alley: "Hey! Sister! You're finally here. ”

I still remember that long and happy summer, we watched every episode of "Magic Milu Milu" together, crying, laughing, and scared again.

I still remember that long, happy summer, when the brush swept over the clean paper and drew elves and Kume.

I still remember that long, happy summer, and the incomplete tones that came out of my mouth echoed in the house for a long time.

I still remember that long, happy summer, and the sound of twisted flutes accompanied by laughter filled the whole season.

I still remember that long and happy summer, because of my sister, it became more gorgeous than ever...

I still remember that long and happy summer, the tears and reluctance that flickered when I parted......

Then with the end of the summer vacation, the end of the summer, carrying a lot of nostalgia and memories, left the city with a sister......

I don't know how long it was, I just know that that summer was reincarnated countless times.

Years later, familiar and unfamiliar city.

Once upon a time, I hadn't seen my sister for many years.

Once upon a time, I was still worried about whether my sister was okay or not.

Once upon a time, I still missed my sister so much.

When it rains, it will be idle, and once the people's minds are idle, they will recall some memories that have been sealed in the dust for a long time. Remembered that long and happy ...... There is a sister, summer.

Drip... Drip......

The prompt tone from the mobile phone sounded suddenly in the rain inexplicably, and a text message was sent from an unfamiliar number.

"Sister, I've gotten off at the station."

After an unbelievable shock, I grabbed my umbrella and rushed into the rain. Leave your parents' chatter far behind, until they are covered by the sound of the rain.

Until I came to the crowded bus stop. The bus went away with the sound of the engine, and my sister turned her head in the middle of the bustling crowd and saw me at a glance. We looked at each other for a long, long, long time......

I don't know how long it's been, I just know that we're all the same as we were today.

That's nice.
