Fengming in Phoenix City: A close relationship between aunts and uncles is better than sisters. Feng'er is the youngest among the five brothers and sisters in the family. Her brothers and sisters all have their own playmates. She only plays with her niece Zhen'er, who is 4 years younger than her. However, since Zhen'er's younger brother unfortunately passed away, Zhen'er's mother has been immersed in the pain of losing her beloved son. She almost ignores Zhen'er and sometimes spreads her nameless resentment on Zhen'er. Zhen'er has been under the intimidation of this mother's power since she was a child, and has lived a careful life, resigned to her mother's resentment. Feng'er saw what happened to Zhen'er and felt pain in her heart, so Feng'er always looked for opportunities to play with her niece Zhen'er. Although she was an aunt, she was better than a sister. But the good times did not last long. In the early days of liberation, young people from all over the country were organized to attend night schools. Zhen'er's mother also attended night schools. Not only did she learn culture, but she also learned how to fight for economic independence and freedom of movement with her parents. She rented a house by herself, and the family of three moved out. Feng'er didn't know how she negotiated with her parents. On the day of moving, Feng'er only watched her niece Zhen'er being held by her mother's hand and following the car pulling furniture. The pitiful look she looked back at was unforgettable. Feng'er, who originally thought she could comfort Zhen'er's young mind, became a little lonely after Zhen'er's family moved away. She lost a playmate to play with, and it was boring to be alone. It happened that the Spring Festival was coming soon after Zhen'er moved away. Feng'er's parents sent her to deliver a letter to her eldest brother Dong'er's house, inviting their family to come back for the Spring Festival. Feng'er was overjoyed to get this opportunity. Although there was only an approximate location, Feng'er jumped around and searched all the way. The hard work paid off. Without a specific address, Feng'er found Zhen'er's home. After Feng'er met her eldest brother and sister-in-law and conveyed her parents' orders, she went to play with Zhen'er. After Feng'er got to know Zhen'er's family, she often went to play with Zhen'er secretly. Sometimes when the adults were not at home, Feng'er taught Zhen'er to cook and play. She still clearly remembers that the most popular meal at that time was white rice porridge mixed with white sugar. The soft and cowardly white rice mixed with snow-white sugar melted in the mouth. The sweet and fragrant feeling was like falling into a honey pot. It was also the greatest enjoyment of childhood. Feng'er finally waited for the Spring Festival, and Zhen'er's family of three went home for the first time to celebrate the New Year after moving out. Feng'er pulled Zhen'er and ran around the garden to play. When she was having fun, an adult called her over and asked Feng'er to do something. It turned out that there were not enough plates during the family dinner, so Feng'er and Zhen'er were asked to go back to Zhen'er's house to get the plates. The two little girls jumped hand in hand and trotted all the way to Zhen'er's house. They took the plate and walked back. Maybe they were too happy. For some reason, the plate fell to the floor. They heard the crisp sound of the plate being hit. They were startled. Zhen'er picked it up and looked around. Two plates were broken, and she burst into tears on the spot. Zhen'er said in fear, "Mom will beat me!" Feng'er advised Zhen'er, "Don't be afraid, just say it was me who hit her." Later, Zhen'er's mother found out and said bitterly that Feng'er had taught her niece to lie and was dishonest. Feng'er has always sympathized with Zhen'er's situation. Zhen'er's mother has been living in the shadow of losing her beloved son, and she can no longer have children due to gynecological diseases, so she vents all her grievances on poor Zhen'er. Zhen'er also grows up in fear all the time. This situation lasted until Zhen'er got married and had children, and then it got better. But Zhen'er's mother has a strong personality, and her style of having the final say in everything at home remains unchanged. Even her husband and son-in-law give her three points. She has always been domineering towards everyone in her life, so Feng'er also kept a distance from her sister-in-law. Only Feng'er's eldest brother could not escape no matter where he went. The eldest brother was also a kind, loyal and honest man. He could only accept the situation and endure it again and again to keep the family at peace. More than half a century passed in a blink of an eye. Zhen'er experienced life and death separation from her parents. She also retired from her job and became a grandmother. Recently, Feng'er returned to China to visit relatives. Each time, Feng'er always reunited with Zhen'er, recalling unforgettable childhood experiences and recounting the relationship between aunts and sisters that is better than sisters. What makes Feng'er happy is that the Zhen'er she sees now is a cheerful and upbeat Zhen'er who has shed the shadow of fear. After retiring at home, in addition to taking care of housework and taking care of her grandchildren, the handy Zhen'er also has many new hobbies, such as making screen flowers, cross-stitch, and crocheting various trinkets. As soon as she entered Zhen'er's home, she was greeted by a variety of silk-mesh flower decorations that looked fake and real, making the whole home lively, beautiful and warm. Hanging on the wall is a cross-stitch decorated with a glass frame. It took Zhen'er more than three months to embroider it carefully, stitch by stitch. The pattern is of a tiger in full force, which was a birthday gift for his husband. After Zhen'er finished her housework for the day, she went to the community square every night and danced for an hour to keep herself fit and entertained. Feng'er learned from her how to make silk screen flowers and crochet various small ornaments. Zhen'er's current happy life is full of warmth and joy. Feng'er sincerely wishes: Zhen'er will live a happy, healthy and happy life in her later years!
