In the extremely difficult days in my hometown, I can't forget the past when I went to my sister's house to ask for shredded radish. It was the turn of spring and summer a year after my sister married into Chenhe Village in the big ravine and gave birth to her eldest daughter, because there was nothing to eat at home, I told my mother to let me go to my sister's house to see if I could get something to eat, and dried radish shreds were okay. Mother said that this will make your mother-in-law look down on your sister and suspect that your sister has given everything to her mother's family.
I said, okay, let me go, at most I can run empty. Don't embarrass my sister. The mother sighed helplessly and said, Then you go. After walking more than ten miles of mountain road to my sister's house, after I explained my intention, my sister said that there were some dried radish strips, that is, dried radish shreds. I said, great. Moreover, I told my sister about my mother's worries. My sister said, I haven't lived with my mother-in-law, the two brothers have been separated, and my mother-in-law will not interfere in my own affairs. I said, that's good. I can't embarrass my sister. So, my sister filled the big basket I had brought with me with shredded dried radish. Then, he put another bag of chaff. I was going to leave immediately, and my sister had to ask me to wait until she was ready to cook and let me eat before leaving.
As I was leaving, I burst into tears when I faced my sister. Sister said, don't be like this, our family's life will gradually get better. My sister sent me down the slope a long way out of the village, and she still stood there watching me far away, and she didn't turn back until she couldn't see me. When I reached the heights, I suddenly looked back and saw the back of my sister entering the village, and I shed tears again.
However, after a long time after this incident, I heard that my mother-in-law was embarrassed to be a sister. It was my mother-in-law who saw me from the window and took a lot of things with her. Moreover, in the yard, he pointed at Sang and scolded Huai, so that my sister could listen. Later, my mother also found out about it. When my sister came home to visit relatives during the Spring Festival, my mother hugged her daughter and cried, saying that she had wronged her daughter. My sister stopped her tears and said, "It's nothing." It's the daughter who can't handle things, which makes the mother-in-law careless. If I had shown her what my brother had gotten, it wouldn't have made her careless.
Despite this, the mother repeatedly told her daughter to honor her in-laws, not to let her neighbors poke her backbone, and not to let the people of Chenhe Village say that her parents did not educate her daughter well. It is precisely because of this incident that I always feel sorry for my sister, and if I didn't have this thought at that time, I wouldn't let my sister be wronged.
My sister is not only an honest person, but also a daughter-in-law who honors her in-laws. Moreover, she will not bother with her mother-in-law. As long as it is delicious, it is always sent to the in-laws first, and then it is eaten by yourself.
Especially when my father proposed to let my sister's family move to my mother's village to settle down, my sister said that I would talk about it after my in-laws were old-fashioned, and I couldn't make my in-laws feel uncomfortable. The reason why my father is like this is because there is a shortage of doctors and medicines in the big ravine, and my sister has lost a daughter. It is really admirable that my sister can do this step in honoring her in-laws.
In 1992, my sister's family moved from the ravine to her mother's village. My father helped my sister build a new house, and my sister was very happy. However, I never expected that my sister died of illness on June 10, 2013 and left us forever. I can only see my sister in my dreams now, but I can't hear her laughing. (Guo Xilin).
