When I was thirteen, I suddenly developed a very bad habit. I am used to opening my eyes in the middle of the night, dilating my pupils as much as possible, trying to see the ceiling covered with newspapers clearly, but in this dark night, everything is in vain. The night just covered my body in such a grand way, and I shrunk under the quilt, a small ball.I thought, why can't I find the quiet beauty of the night like water in other people's novels?I could only hear my father's coughing in the middle of the night, my mother's soft sighs, and Liang Sheng's even breathing when he was sleeping soundly.

I have seen Liang Sheng when he is sleeping. He likes to turn his body sideways, his small black head is buried on the pillow, his long eyelashes rest on his closed eyes like two sleeping swans, and his slightly thin nose follows Breathing lightly, the white skin is slightly pink, this kind of soft pink skin is very rare among children in Weijiaping.Therefore, in my youthful consciousness, Liang Sheng was different from me, and from all the children in Weijiaping.I like to poke the tips of newborn grass into his ears when he is taking a nap, and watch him wake up from the tickle. I will hide by his bed with my petite body, meowing a few times like our kitten.Liang Sheng didn't even open his eyes, so he could guess it was me. He said vaguely, "Jiang Sheng, stop making trouble and go to sleep."

His name is Liang Sheng, and my name is Jiang Sheng. Before the age of four, he had nothing to do with my life. When I was four years old, on a beautiful afternoon when the sun covered half of the hillside, my mother with a tired face brought a handsome little boy who could only be seen on TV to me, and said, Jiang Sheng, this is Liang Sheng, You will call him brother from now on. Four years old, still an age with fuzzy memories, I only see mud, grass, dog tail flowers, and I don’t know what natural disasters and man-made disasters are!Good luck tricks people!What's more, they didn't know that a tragic and abnormal mining accident happened in Weijiaping these days!Forty-eight miners and two journalists were killed.In my eyes, the sky in Weijiaping is still so blue, and the water is still so clear.So when my mother brought Liang Sheng in front of me, I called him brother Liang Sheng with a crisp childish voice, and made an ugly face at him behind my mother's back.

It may be that the grimace I made was too ugly, so I scared the pretty Liang Sheng to tears. When Liang Sheng cried, he covered his face with his arms and tried his best to hold back his breath.Weijiaping's children were not as gentle as he was when they cried. They all opened their mouths wide open, crying hysterically.My affection for Liang Sheng began when he cried so politely. When Liang Sheng first came here, he liked to cry very much. Every night, I could hear him sobbing intermittently. I just wrapped the pillow and leaned against his pillow, staring at him crying in the dark night.The night was dark, and I could only see his tiny shoulders twitching, and his little black head kept shaking.

I said, Liang Sheng, if you are afraid of the dark, then Jiang Sheng will sleep with you. He didn't seem to have much affection for me, sobbing and protesting, who is afraid of the dark? I just stood there in a daze and watched Liang Sheng cry. He turned around, his eyes were red, and he said, what's so interesting? I curled my lips, crawled back into bed like a small fish, and got close to my mother. I said, Mom, don’t people in the city feel happier crying than eating candy? Happiness was the first word I learned, but my mother didn't praise me for it. She covered me with a quilt and said, Jiang Sheng, remember, Liang Sheng is your brother!Not some city folk!Don't talk nonsense in the future, you must remember that Liang Sheng is your brother!

As if a sacred destiny is hard to break, when I was four years old, I met Liang Sheng, a six-year-old Liang Sheng, on a narrow road.I can't and I don't know to ask, why did this boy named Liang Sheng come to our house suddenly? It can only be destined in this way, he is the elder brother, and I am the younger sister.
