Sen went to school a year earlier than Ye Yin. Ye Yin often took Huzi to pick up Sen at the entrance of the alley when Sen was about to leave school. When Ye Yin also went to school, the two of them would go together, and Huzi would send them to the mouth of the alley. Sen was happy to carry a schoolbag for Ye Yin, and Ye Yin held the water that the two of them carried. When it rains, Mori carries Ye Yin on his back so that Ye Yin's feet don't get wet, and if his feet don't get wet, Ye Yin doesn't catch a cold.

As the days passed, Sen gradually became half a head taller than Ye Yin, and Ye Yin jumped to his feet every day and said I am taller than you, I am taller than you.

In that era when the family was not rich, it was a childhood that two children missed for a lifetime.

Mori has a good voice like a tree. Sen participates in school activities, and Grandma Li is always happy and proud. Spray Mori's clothes with water and scald them with a cup filled with boiling hot water. But later, a TV program came to the school to find Sen and wanted him to take a few shots, and Grandma Li actually came to the school for this, and Teacher Ren didn't agree to Sen on TV no matter how much he persuaded him. In the era when TV has not yet been popularized, this is undoubtedly a very proud thing, Sen cried aggrievedly, Ye Yin also felt sorry for Sen, she kept begging Grandma Li, but Grandma Li was unwavering, and said to Sen Let's just be ordinary people, just do our duty, and not be in the limelight. Sen and Ye Yin seem to understand this sentence. Hearing this, the tree was expressionless and went to work without saying anything. Yan knew and touched Ye Yin's head and said that Grandma Li was right. Ye Yin asked Dao Sen to sing so well, why couldn't he sing it to more people. Hiko pointed to the bird in the tree and said, "It sings beautifully, it sings only because it likes to sing, you can hear it because you have the fate to hear it, these are not forced." Ye Yin still didn't seem to understand, but he naturally accepted Yan's words.

If all the days were like a calm stream, perhaps every broken heart would be at peace from now on. But most people's days will always be like a rushing river, and any ups and downs seem so ordinary.

Mori vividly remembers that the winter of his 10-year-old year came very early.

One day, because the teachers were all going to an event, the students were out of school early in the afternoon. As soon as I walked into the gate, I found that the door of the house was not closed, a woman was talking to my grandmother, she handed my grandmother a large envelope, and my grandmother refused to accept it, but she cried bitterly and held her grandmother's hand, and grandma also shed tears.

Sen didn't make a sound, put down his schoolbag and went to Ye Yin's house but didn't enter the house, but looked out from the gate of Ye Yin's house, and when the woman left, he saw the woman clearly, she was very beautiful but unusually thin, and when she left, it was like the wind blowing away a leaf. He vaguely felt that he had seen her, but he couldn't remember it all at once.

Sen walked into Ye Yin's house, Ye Yin was sharpening a pencil, seeing Sen come in and talk to Sen about the things in Chinese class, Sen kept slipping and couldn't hear what Ye Yin was saying, he felt that he should go home and ask Grandma why she was crying. As soon as I went out, I saw my mother from a distance, standing face to face with the woman.

Ping often goes grocery shopping at this time, and forgets to take the food stamps back to pick them up that day. Sen had never seen his mother so fierce, and he didn't know what he was talking about, the woman was expressionless and didn't say a word, and turned around and left before Ping finished speaking. Sen was so frightened that he hid.

Ping never said anything about adults to Sen, and never said anything about being happy or unhappy. So Sen didn't understand Ye Yin's worries about his parents. At most, Sen will ask the tree why he hasn't come home when he gets off work, and Ping will say that Dad is busy, and it's very hard to support a family, and we're a big family. When the tree returns, Ping will bring a basin of warm water for the tree to wash, and even if the towel is within reach of the tree, she will still signal Sen to wait for the tree with the towel. Sen likes it. Every time the tree wiped his face, he would reach out and scratch Mori's head, and Mori would take advantage of the situation to pull up his father's shirt and go to eat.

That day, Ping saw that Jin was still sorting out her emotions before going home. But she didn't prepare warm water for the tree that night, it was Sen who prepared it, and Ping's mouth moved, and she didn't say anything after all.
