Liangsheng, just met in such a narrow way.

When I was thirteen, I suddenly had a very bad habit.

I used to open my eyes in the middle of the night, trying to see through the ceiling covered with newspapers, but in vain on this dark night.

The night just covered my body in such a grand manner, and I shrunk in the quilt, a little ball. I thought, how can I not find the quiet beauty of the night like water in other people's novels? I could only hear my father's cough in the middle of the night, my mother's soft sighs, and the even breathing of my cool sleep.

I have seen Liang Sheng when he sleeps, he likes to lean sideways, his little head buried in the pillow, his long eyelashes resting on his closed eyes like two sleeping swans, his slightly thin nose shaking gently with his breathing, and his white skin is faintly pink. This kind of soft pink skin is very rare in the children in this area of Weijiaping, so, in my young consciousness, Liangsheng is different from me, and different from the children of Weijiaping as a whole.

I like to poke into his ears with the tip of the newborn tender grass when he is taking a nap, and watch him wake up with an itch, so I will hide by his bed and learn from our little cat to bark a few times. Liang Sheng didn't open his eyes, so he could guess that it was me, and said vaguely in his mouth, Jiang Sheng, don't make trouble, sleep.

His name is Liang Sheng, and my name is Jiang Sheng.

Before I was four years old, he had nothing to do with my life.

When I was four years old, on a beautiful afternoon when the sun was shining on half of the hillside, my tired mother brought me a good-looking little boy who could only be seen on TV, and said, Jiang Sheng, this is Liangsheng, you will call him brother in the future.

At the age of four, I still have a vague memory, I only have mud, grass, dog tail flowers in my eyes, I don't know what natural and man-made disasters are, and I don't know that in those days, there was a tragic and abnormal mining disaster in Weijiaping, in which 48 miners and two reporters were killed. In my eyes, the sky in Weijiaping is still so blue, and the water is still so clear. So when my mother brought Liangsheng to me, I called him Liangsheng's brother in a crisp child's voice, and at the same time made an ugly grimace at him behind my mother's back.

Maybe the grimace I made was too ugly, so I scared the good-looking Liangsheng into tears.

Liang Sheng covered his face with his arms when he cried, trying to hold back his voice. Wei Jiaping's children didn't cry as much as him, they all opened their mouths directly, crying hysterically and crying ghosts and gods. My liking for Liang Sheng started when he cried.

When Ryosheng first arrived, he liked to cry very much, and every night, I could hear him sobbing quietly and intermittently.

I hugged the pillow and went to his pillow, and in the dark night, I stared at him and cried. The night was dark, and I could only see his tiny shoulders twitching and his little head shaking.

I said, Liang Sheng, if you are afraid of the dark, then Jiang Sheng will sleep with you.

He didn't seem to have much affection for me, sobbing and protesting, who was afraid of the dark?

I just stood stunned and watched Liang Sheng cry.

He turned around, his eyes were red, and he said, "What's there to see?"

I pursed my lips and went back to the bed like a little fish, and I went to my mother's side, and I said, Mom, are people in the city happier than eating candy?

Happiness was the first word I learned, but my mother didn't praise me for it, she covered me with a quilt and said, Jiang Sheng, you remember, Liangsheng is your brother! Not from the city! You can't talk nonsense in the future, you must remember that Liangsheng is your brother!

As if the holy order was indisobedient, when I was four years old, I met Liang Sheng, a six-year-old Liang Sheng, on a narrow road. I can't help but wonder why this boy called Liangsheng suddenly came to our house?

can only be destined in this way, he is the elder brother, and I am the younger sister.
