Every year when winter comes in S City, there are always a few drizzling rains.

In 2009, the early winter of S City came for a while, and it had not rained yet.

In the afternoon of this day, it was a little cold, the leaves on the plane trees withered and yellowed, and they fell very quickly, and the bare branches pointed to the sky, and everything around them became quiet and bleak.

Li Huaixuan was in the pavilion of Sizhe Lake, looking at the black and oppressive sky overhead, his chest seemed to be out of breath, and his mood became particularly depressed.

Qiao Yunqing looked at the rippling lake and said calmly: "My friend's name is Xiaomin, and she was the first friend I met after moving to S City, and she and I were only 6 years old that year. ”

"When I was a child, I grew up in my grandparents' house, and I could only speak the dialect there, and when I moved to my grandmother's side, I couldn't understand what the people around me said, and I didn't even know what others scolded me, and I nodded stupidly. My aunt always disliked my father for being poor, and she didn't like my mother, and she didn't want to see us. Grandma doted on the children of the uncle's family, as long as it was what they wanted, she would give it generously, but she was very indifferent to me and my sister, my sister and I could only eat what was left by others, and sometimes, they would rather throw away the leftovers than give us them. At that time, when I first arrived, no one wanted to play with me, so I had to follow my father or mother, and I followed them wherever they went, and brought a sister who was 3 years younger than me. ”

"Once, my parents went outside, my uncle's eldest daughter knocked over the rice in the bowl to the ground, for fear that the aunt would be angry, crying and telling the aunt that it was my sister who knocked over, the aunt grabbed my sister's hand and hit, my sister was only three years old, she didn't understand anything, so she was beaten inexplicably, I still remember her eyes at that time, the eyes of the bright Danfeng were full of tears, I wanted to cry but didn't dare to cry. At that time, I was very angry, so I took my sister's hand and left, wanting to go back to my grandfather's house. ”

"I didn't know the way, I walked a long way, my sister was tired and didn't want to walk, she kept crying to find her mother, and I couldn't find my way home, so I walked around with my sister on my back, and finally my feet were tired, and my sister fell asleep on my back. I was squatting in a corner I didn't even know about, and the weather that day was just as stuffy and gloomy as it was today. ”

"We just sat there and waited until my parents found out we were missing and came looking for us to come home. My sister woke up from sleep and cried to her mother, and no matter how much I tried to comfort her, she would only cry. My sister's crying is getting louder and louder, and my heart is getting more and more uneasy, and I want to cry too. Just then, a little girl came over with a whistle around her neck and looked at me as she whistled. The girl's eyes were big and bright, and her face was pink, which was very cute. ”

"The first thing she said to me was in a dialect I didn't understand – are you lost? She speaks slowly and hard, like my three-year-old sister. I didn't know how to answer her, so she crouched down next to me and said a lot to me. She saw that I didn't answer her, so she left, and after a while, she came back again, with an adult. ”

"The adult asked me if I was lost, and I didn't dare to speak, for fear that my dialect would make them laugh, just like the uncle's family laughed at me, and I nodded my head indiscriminately. The adult asked me a lot of questions, and I couldn't understand a word, I couldn't answer a word, and she thought I was dumb, until my sister called my parents' names in the dialect, and the adult suddenly laughed and spoke to us in the dialect we would. ”

"They sent me home. As we were leaving, the little girl whistled with her cheeks puffed out and smiled at me, and I will never forget her smile as bright as a sunflower. The little girl handed me the whistle and asked her mother to act as a translator and said to give it to me and play with it later. She was the first friend I met in S City, and she didn't dislike my dialect or my poor family. ”

"Since then, Xiao Min has often come to play with me, she has another whistle around her neck, the blue one, the two of us often blow and play, and she also brings me delicious and fun things."

"The happy time with her gradually made me forget all the unpleasantness that my uncle's family brought me. Until one day, the eldest daughter of the uncle's family saw us playing together, laughed and scolded us for being mentally retarded and Beiyan. I didn't understand, but Xiao Min understood, she was very unhappy at that time, but she seemed to be more afraid of losing me as a friend than unhappy, she ran home and gave me all the fun and delicious things she had, I didn't know what happened to her at that time. I went back and asked my mom, what is mentally retarded? What does Beikee mean? Why would my cousin laugh at Xiao Min so much. ”

"My mother thought about it for a long time and asked me, are you happy with Xiaomin? I said, of course I'm happy. My mother said, it's good to be happy, you are good friends, no matter what others say about her, don't listen. The next day, I went to play with Min, and I returned all the things she gave me, and Min thought I wasn't friends with her anymore and cried in front of me. I told her in the dialect my mother taught me: 'I am friends with you, but I can't take your things, or my mother will scold me', and Xiao Min was very happy, and when she was happy, she would whistle and blow non-stop, crisp and loud. ”

"In the future, no matter how Xiao Min was scolded for being mentally retarded and how I was scolded for being a North Yankee, we were still each other's best friends, she was a friend who would smile at me and be generous to me; I am her friend who treats her well and does not dislike her, and we cherish this precious luxury. Later, I gradually got used to life here, I could speak the dialect here, and I was ready to start elementary school, and Xiao Min and I became my tablemate. ”

"At school, we are often bullied by our classmates, we are snubbed, even the teacher's eyes are full of contempt when they look at us, we always fail exams, we always can't answer questions when asked by the teacher, we are punished together at the door of the classroom, I am becoming more and more inferior, and Xiaomin is still smiling, she doesn't seem to care about those, she doesn't care about grades, she doesn't care about other people's abuse, she doesn't care about the disdainful eyes of teachers, slowly, I realize that I am different from her after all, The things she didn't care about were the things I cared about so much, and I was afraid to hear that voice and see that look. ”

"Because I was afraid, I always wanted to change, try to adapt to everything around me, try to make myself better. Later, every time Xiao Min came to play with me, I didn't have the heart to play, I just thought about learning and trying to adapt to the surrounding environment; Thinking about how you can get a perfect score on the exam? How can I answer the questions asked by the teacher correctly? How can I make the teacher stop looking at me with such contempt? In this way, I gradually opened up the gap with Xiao Min, my grades became better and better, the people around me no longer laughed at me, and the teacher's eyes became kinder, but Xiao Min is still the person who speaks hard and reacts slowly, and still doesn't care about other people's cynicism about her, and doesn't care about the bad grades......"

"She cared about me as a good friend, and I was praised by the teacher, who was a little happier than me, whistling around me. She was as good to me as ever, and I became less of a fan of playing with her, and I slowly distanced myself from her......"
