On that early spring morning shrouded in morning mist, a baby's cry came from the door of Lao Zhang's house.
The old Zhang family and the couple, who are in their fifties this year, never thought that a small life was born at this time, and the old Zhang family was very happy.
Mr. and Mrs. Zhang also have an eldest daughter named Zhang Yunhua, and when the younger brother was born, Zhang Yunhua was already twenty years old.
However, fate doesn't seem to intend to let the family taste the sweetness too much.
When Zhang Wenming just remembered, the two old men left him one after another, leaving only the eldest sister who was twenty years older than him, Zhang Yunhua.
Zhang Yunhua took over her younger brother in tears, although her shoulders were immature, she carried all the hopes of Zhang Wenming.
She raised him like a mother, and her tears and smile became Zhang Wenming's deepest memory.
The years passed quietly in the fields, and Zhang Yunhua used her own hands to build a warm home for Zhang Wenming.
She farms, raises chickens, and ducks, and she doesn't let go of any way she can make money.
The people of the village, also touched by her tenacity and love, reached out to help this unfortunate family.
Zhang Wenming thrives under the protection of his sister, and he knows that he must study hard to live up to his sister's hard work and expectations.
His grades were excellent, and he was finally admitted to a key high school in the city, which is Zhang Yunhua's greatest pride.
However, just when Zhang Wenming thought that everything was developing in a good direction, fate caught them off guard.
Zhang Yunhua suddenly fell ill and needed surgery, which required a lot of money.
Zhang Wenming wants to drop out of school and go home to earn money for his sister's treatment.
Zhang Yunhua resolutely disagreed, she let Zhang Wenming continue to go to school, she endured the pain and said that she would get through.
In the end, with the help of the people in the village, Zhang Yunhua was finally cured.
She knows that she can't fall, she still has Zhang Wenming, she wants to watch Zhang Wenming be admitted to university, marry a wife and have children.
Zhang Wenming also knew that he couldn't let his sister down, he had to study hard, be admitted to a good university, and let his sister live a good life.
With the arrival of summer, the apricot trees of Zhang Wenming's family also bear fruit.
Zhang Yunhua stood under the tree, looking at the golden apricots, with a long-lost smile on her face.
She knows that these apricots can not only give them nutrition, but also sell them for some money to help the family tide over the difficult times.
The summer sun shone on the courtyard of Zhang Wenming's house, under the shadow of the apricot trees, Zhang Yunhua and Zhang Wenming sat together, looking at those apricots, smiling very happily.
Zhang Yunhua knew that as long as she and Zhang Wenming were together, there was no difficulty that they could not overcome.
Zhang Wenming's grades are getting better and better, he was admitted to a key high school, and then to a prestigious university.
Zhang Yunhua looked at Zhang Wenming's back, her eyes were full of tears of pride and relief.
She knew that her efforts were not in vain, and Zhang Wenming was a competitive child.
Zhang Wenming excelled in college, he not only learned professional knowledge, but also participated in social practice and became an excellent college student.
He knew that he had to be more tenacious and hardworking than his sister in order to live up to his sister's expectations.
On the campus of the university, Zhang Wenming met the girl he liked, and they encouraged each other to make progress together.
Zhang Wenming took the girls home, Zhang Yunhua looked at their happy appearance, and a big stone in her heart also fell to the ground, full of blessings to them.
Zhang Wenming got a good job after graduation, and he took his sister and girlfriend to a restaurant in the city and ordered the best dishes for them.
Zhang Yunhua couldn't help but sigh, time flies, and in a blink of an eye, Zhang Wenming has grown from an ignorant teenager to a mature young man.
In Zhang Wenming's heart, his sister Zhang Yunhua is getting taller and taller, she is not only his relative, but also his mentor and reliance in life.
Zhang Wenming is deeply grateful for everything his sister has paid for him, he feels that he can have the current achievements and happiness, all of which depend on his sister's dedication, and he is determined to do his best to repay the nurturing grace from his sister.
When autumn arrived, Zhang Wenming returned to his hometown with his girlfriend.
Together, they went to the cemetery of their hometown, where the ashes of their parents were laid.
Zhang Wenming and his sister stood in front of their parents' graves and bowed deeply, their hearts full of longing for their parents.
Zhang Wenming looked at the tombstone of his parents, and his heart was full of emotion, now it is no longer the hard days of not having enough to eat like in the past, and now everything is over.
He knew that his parents' spirits in heaven would be happy for their growth and happiness.
Zhang Wenming looked at his sister, his eyes were full of tears of gratitude, he knew that without his sister's dedication, he would not be where he is today.
They grew up with each other's support, experienced the hardships and setbacks of life together, but never gave up their love and support for each other.
He knew that his sister had taught him how to be a responsible and caring person.
The eldest sister is like a mother, and the relationship between the brother and sister is sincere and deep, just like the emotion that flows through the water, warm and lasting.
Those days together, like a moving ballad, sang the sincere feelings in their hearts.
In this moment full of longing and gratitude, they cherish each other even more, and are grateful for the growth and transformation brought to them by the years.
