I have lived here for many years, and today I was chatting with the neighbor on the other side, and the neighbor's words really amazed me.
Some time ago, when I went out to work, I saw my neighbor's sister getting out of the car with a small baby in her arms, her daughter standing next to her, carrying things in both hands, and at the same time, a young man was tidying up the car.
In the days that followed, I also met them a few times, sometimes it was the neighbor's sister holding the child, and sometimes the sister's daughter holding the child.
I have always wondered if my neighbor's sister responded to the country's call to be a mother of three children, or was she upgraded to be a grandmother?Either way, it's incredible. I was pregnant for ten months, and I was so close to my neighbor, why didn't I notice it at all?Or ......I even thought that the child had been adopted by their family.
Even if you really want to solve this mystery, it's not good to ask directly, after all, we haven't communicated much for so many years.
Today, the neighbor's sister passed by again, and the neighbor happened to be there, and when I inquired, it turned out that the neighbor's sister liked to be a grandmother!The reason why I didn't know was because I went out early and returned late every day, and the neighbor's daughter got married and went to another place, and spent most of the time at her in-law's house, and she didn't come back until the baby was full of a month.
Although they were neighbors, I only had one communication with their family, and it was with the daughter of the neighbor's sister.
Years ago, the little girl was still in elementary school. One day after school, she met me in the alley near her home and asked me to buy something for her, but I don't remember what she asked me to buy for her, or whether she gave me money, but I remember that I refused her because I didn't think I could buy anything for her at will, and that she should get her family's consent. Now it seems that what she wanted me to buy for her at that time should not be suitable for such a young child within the scope of my cognition, otherwise I would not have refused. Of course, she must have known that she couldn't get it from her parents, so she turned to me for help. The little girl must have been disappointed at the time of my refusal.
In the blink of an eye, the little girl who turned to me for help had become a mother, which surprised me and made me sigh at the fleeting nature of my years.
Today is the first day of the new year, and on this special day, I wish her and that lovely little girl to have a happy life and a happy life all the time.
