Xiao Min was forced to repeat a grade by the school because she failed every subject. Xiao Min cried and refused to let her, she had to be in the same class as me, and Xiao Min's father entrusted her with a relationship to let her go to the second grade. The teacher changed my seat, my table was replaced by someone else, Xiao Min felt that someone else sat in her seat, and after a long time at school, the teacher found Xiao Min's mother, Xiao Min's mother asked me if I could sit with Xiao Min, and I agreed. Xiao Min is still the same as before, she is inattentive in class, and she is always named and punished by the teacher to stand at the door. My grades are getting better and better, and I am in great contrast to her. The teacher is biased in the end, so I don't want to play with Xiaomin for fear of delaying my studies, saying that I am different from her. Aside from the grades, I don't know how I differed from her. ”

"The teacher told me that Xiaomin has a mother who is an official and a father who is a businessman, and her family is very wealthy, while my family is very ordinary, and her future can rely on her family, and I can only rely on myself. At that time, I realized that there was such a big difference between me and her, I became more diligent in my studies, and I became reluctant to deal with Xiaomin. ”

"Xiao Min seems to feel that I deliberately snub her, and she becomes even less talkative, sometimes she doesn't even come to school, and the position on my right hand is empty most of the time, from being unaccustomed to it at first to gradually becoming accustomed to it, this process takes less than a week."

"The semester ended like this, and that winter was followed by two weeks of torrential rain, the dam collapsed, and flash floods hit the whole village, and the whole village was busy running for their lives. That day, my sister lived at my grandfather's house, my parents were not at home, I was the only one at home taking a nap, and my uncle's family didn't know what was gone, when I woke up, everything around me was dark, and I only heard the sound of rushing water. At that time, my home was not like other people's homes, which were made of steel and concrete, it was a tiled house in disrepair, with only one floor, and the water was spreading from my knees to my neck little by little, and I was so frightened that I stood on a high place, and called out hysterically to my parents, but no one answered me. The flood soon spread to my mouth, I didn't even have a chance to speak, and I grew more and more afraid...... I couldn't grasp anything, the only thing I could reach was the green whistle hanging around my neck......"

"Coincidentally, you say? It was then that I heard the whistle, the most familiar and reassuring sound I had at that time...... The instinct to survive, I pointed my toes, whistled hysterically, and kept blowing, and at that time I was so afraid of death, even if my voice was dumb, I didn't care, even if my whistle became weaker and weaker, I didn't stop......"

"When I was a child, when Min came to play with me, she would always whistle at my door, and when I heard the whistle, I would whistle along with it, and then run to meet her. It was because of that whistle that I was found and I survived. ”

"When I was rescued, I was a little delirious, I heard my mother's cry in my ears, and the whistle that never stopped, the whistle was very weak, but it was so pleasant, I tried to open my eyes to see, vaguely, only to see Xiao Min standing next to me, constantly whistling, cheeks bulging, cheeks flushed, all the time blowing...... I kept blowing, as if I had to run out of sound before I stopped......"

"Since then, my attitude towards Min has changed again, and she regards her as my best friend, my dearest relative. My father told me that relatives can't be disliked or cared about, but you must know how to be grateful, don't take your relatives' kindness to you for granted, friends are even more so, no matter how everyone laughs at Xiaomin, I can't dislike her. ”

"Xiao Min is still as good to me as before, and her trust in me has increased because I am good to her. I encouraged Xiao Min to study hard with me, and then I found out that it was not that Xiao Min was not working hard enough, on the contrary, Xiao Min was working hard, her mother told me that Xiao Min begged her to teach her homework after dinner, but Xiao Min was congenitally stupid, with an IQ of only 40~55, and the attention span could not even last for half an hour, and she would become more and more irritable if she sat for too long. Although these children can learn to speak generally in early childhood, they are unable to express complex content and establish social relationships with children of the same age. After entering primary school, when compared with other students, intellectual disability is clearly exposed, and the academic level generally does not exceed the second grade of primary school. ”

"That's when I learned it was called retarded. Those who laughed at her were afraid that the mentally handicapped would be contagious, so they didn't play with her, and laughed at her. ”

Later, after finishing the second grade, Xiao Min could no longer study in school and was persuaded to drop out by the school. Min's mother had to take her home. I remember one time, Xiao Min secretly came to school with a school bag, and when she saw that the place next to me was occupied, she became very upset, and kept asking my table mate to leave, and the principal had to call her mother. I will never forget that day, Xiao Min was forced to go home by her mother, Xiao Min cried because she couldn't read. ”

I don't know how Xiao Min was persuaded, and since then, Xiao Min has never come to school again. But every time I got out of school, I would take a special detour past her house, and when she saw me, she smiled at me and whistled at me like she used to. On weekends, I would go to play with her, and her mother told me that she was looking forward to every evening, waiting for me to pass by early, smiling at me and whistling at me. I'm also looking forward to playing with her on weekends. ”

Xiao Min's mother had sent her to a special education institution to let her receive special education, less than half a year, Xiao Min was sent home, listen to her mother, she had escaped from school, in the middle of the night to escape by the dog barking frightened down the stairs, fell hand fracture, because a long time has not been treated, Xiao Min is still in the long body, the bone is crooked, her left wrist can only curl up and can not be straightened. After Xiao Min's mother learned about Xiao Min's experience, she went to school to make trouble, and in the end she only got a compensation fee, and Xiao Min, who was already physically handicapped, became inconvenient with her left hand. Xiaomin's mother had no choice but to keep her by her side to take care of her, and she was also determined to take care of her for the rest of her life. ”

Although Xiaomin is mentally handicapped, God treats her very kindly, she has loving parents and a wealthy family, and she also has a very beautiful appearance. Xiao Min, who has grown up, looks exceptionally good, and when she laughs, her eyes are crooked, like a crescent moon. ”

"She and I have always been like this, from elementary school to junior high school to high school, and we have always been each other's best friends. Every year on Chinese New Year's Eve, which is also my birthday, Xiao Min will give me gifts, and the gifts she gives me are her own favorite gadgets. ”

"I remember when I was a freshman in high school, I was far away from home, and I had to stay in the dormitory, and I only went home once every six months. I only see each other every six months every day, and for me, I get used to it very quickly, but it takes a long time for Min to get used to, and she often asks her mom when I will be able to come home. Her mother bought her an hourglass, and 24 hours a day was a cycle. Her mother told her that when she counted 12 24 hours, she would be able to wait for me to come home. In fact, you don't need 12 24 hours, just 11 24 hours plus 17 hours. She looks forward to me coming home every six months, and when she comes home, she smiles at me and whistles at me like before. She thinks the hourglass is a very interesting thing, watching the sand fall every minute, day by day, the page is turned like this, the day of meeting is closer and farther, far and nearer, and so on, the only constant is that the day of death is getting closer and closer. She begged her mom to buy her another hourglass for me as a gift for my 16-year-old. ”

"That was the last gift she gave me."
