When a friend came back from a trip to Yunnan, he gave me a pair of puppets of ethnic minorities, saying that they wanted me to keep a souvenir. I wasn't a big fan of these gadgets, but my friend's heart warmed me, so I put them on the windowsill as a decoration.
When our children are not around, our old couple's life will inevitably be cold. Sometimes looking at those two puppets, it seems that the room is a little more angry. This is a puppet of a man and a woman, the man is dressed in a big red robe, chic and generous;The woman is wearing a white dress, beautiful and moving. Their faces are full of rustic flavor, and their eyes are smiling crookedly, revealing innocent happiness.
Once, on a whim, I fiddled with the two puppets and found that the male puppets seemed to have something hidden in their hats. I carefully unfolded my hat and pulled out the contents. It turned out to be a small rolled note with four words written in faint ink: I wish you happiness!
This short greeting was full of affection and warmed my heart. Whose blessing is this?Is it the custom of the ethnic minorities in Yunnan?I have no way of knowing. But I know that this is a good heart, a deep blessing and concern for me.
I tucked the notes back into the puppet's hat and put them back in a prominent position on the windowsill. Whenever I see them, I always think of that affectionate sentence. They are not only puppets, but also a heart and a warm memory of friends.
There is always a lot of unexpected warmth in life, maybe it's a smile, maybe it's a word, maybe it's a puppet like this. They make us feel happy and warm, and they also make us understand that we are not alone in this world.
