On July 10, 2020, after ten years, I actually walked into the same elevator with her in a foreign land.
I bought the first building in my life in 2002 and met my sister Liu, who is ten years older than me. I am the kind of person who doesn't take the initiative to reach out to strangers for the first time, while Sister Liu is just the opposite.
When moving, Sister Liu came back from outside and wanted to go upstairs. She saw us downstairs and asked, "What floor are you on?" "I am 40 1." "I'm from 402. Let's go through the hall. My name is Liu. At first glance, you are not as big as me. Call me Sister Liu. " Sister Liu's frankness and enthusiasm suddenly brought us closer.
After a brief greeting, Sister Liu Ran helped me move things up and down. I really have to admit that I was lucky to meet my good neighbor in China.
Once I traveled abroad, there was a traffic jam halfway, my husband was on a business trip, and it was time for my children to leave school. What should I do? When I was at a loss, I thought of Liu Jie and called her. Before I finished, she understood, "Don't worry, I'll go downstairs now, don't worry, son." I arrived home for more than an hour and saw my son eating with relish at Sister Liu's house. Since then, taking care of children has become a common practice, and her son has become a frequent visitor at her dinner table.
The relationship between the two families has also been brought closer because of this incident. Sister Liu's family is from the nearby countryside. Every summer, relatives will give her all kinds of vegetables, and every time she will give me some. It was awkward at first, but I accepted it later.
One day, Sister Liu told me that she had a fellow villager downstairs and the garage was for sale. "Elder sister, I think this family is in a hurry to use money. It is quite appropriate to sell at the original price. You don't have a garage. Do you want to buy? " "My family should buy it. I didn't buy it when I bought it, but the money was not enough. " As soon as she heard that I was still short of 20 thousand yuan, she said on the spot, if you want to buy it, I will lend you this 20 thousand. I said I would give her interest, and she said, "Look at what you said. If I pay interest, I won't lend it to you. I have no sister. I think you have a kind heart and no airs. I regard you as my godsister. "
In this way, our two families are very close, I reciprocated, and the days passed happily. However, a bolt from the blue profoundly changed her life.
Liu Jie's husband keeps two long-distance transport vehicles. He usually hires people to drive them and is responsible for finding the goods himself. In 2004, the annual income was more than 400,000, and one child went to college. The family is well-off and happy. But in 2008, my brother-in-law obviously lost weight and had a bad appetite. As a result, he went to Shenyang Medical University for his first examination. In the late stage of uremia, he spent a lot of money on kidney replacement. As a result, his postoperative condition was not good, and he was gone in less than two years.
In those difficult days, my husband and I accompanied Sister Liu to the hospital to find an expert. Sister Liu said: My husband has never enjoyed happiness in his life and has been on the road. Let's start from scratch. His life is not easy. Even if he loses everything, I will save his life. But after spending more than one million yuan, people still left.
On sad days, I try to stay with her and help her deal with things. Sister Liu has always been a full-time wife. Because her husband can earn money, she usually takes care of a family of three. When her husband left, her sky collapsed. Fortunately, her son graduated from college that year and went to Shenyang.
One day, Sister Liu told me that she was going to sell the house. Her son has a girlfriend in college. They want to buy a house in Shenyang. She also wants to go to Shenyang and doesn't want to stay here. She can't slow down here
Because the house is a school district and sells well, my good neighbor moved away. On the day we left, we repeatedly told each other that we must always keep in touch. If you come to see me when you return to Jinzhou, I will also go to Shenyang to see her.
Two years before she went to Shenyang, we often contacted each other, and I also sent her some local specialties during the Spring Festival. But one day, I lost my mobile phone and lost her contact information. In addition, the unit has established a small group, and I am not in a hurry to make up the card.
Six months later, in order to find her, I went to the mobile hall to check the phone records. I found her number, but I couldn't get through, and she disappeared into my life. I have looked for her relatives in the suburbs these years, but I can't find anyone to move. I later sent something to her original address and was called back.
My grown-up son often says, "Where did my aunt go? You go to her. " Why don't I want to? I not only miss her, but also worry about how she has been these years. Sometimes I feel sad and sad at the thought of never seeing her again.
Slowly, I blame Sister Liu. I can't find you. Can't you find me? She always goes back to Jinzhou these years, but she never comes to see me. There seems to be no fate. Although I think so, I subconsciously think I will see her again. Especially after my son went to college, my life became more leisurely and I missed her more deeply.
On 20 18, my son graduated from the Army Academy and went to work in Changchun. At the beginning of 20 19, I bought a house in Changchun Beihu Development Zone. The other day, the sales informed me to get the key.
I came to Changchun and got the key at the sales office. After visiting my new house and going downstairs, two women came to the sixth floor, an old man and a young man. I didn't pay attention at first, but I was caught listening to an old talk. Why does the authentic Jinzhou taste so familiar? I gave my sister a hard look, my heart beat faster and my eyebrows were familiar.
Oh, my God, I can't believe that she is my sister Liu who has been thinking about it for eight years. She also noticed me and saw the tears in my eyes. When I called "Sister Liu", she was surprised and hugged me tightly.
Out of the elevator, we both burst into tears. This young woman is her daughter-in-law. Seeing the tears on our faces, she quickly said, "Aunt, I know you. My mother has been talking about you for years. We went back to Jinzhou the year before last to look for you in the old house and knocked on the door. People say that your house was sold to her. Don't cry, let's find a restaurant and talk while eating. "
After I sat down, I realized that Sister Liu had come to Changchun with her son. This time, they want to change rooms. I bought the 12 floor, and she bought the sixth floor.
She came to see me twice when she returned to Jinzhou these years. The first time there was no one at home, the second time I moved. I checked the phone number of my old company, because I was transferred at that time. Maybe the person who answered the phone was a new person and said there was no such person.
The fate between people is so wonderful that we all came to Changchun and bought the same apartment building in the same community. It was really embarrassing when our two families sat together again. Be grateful for fate, life and fate.
On that day, I felt that the sky in Changchun was particularly blue, and the city of Changchun was particularly cordial. Life is happy because of this wonderful fate, so I have relatives in this strange city.
Author's words: After several years, Sister Liu has experienced many things, from housewife to restaurant owner. I want to tell you her story slowly.
