Unforgettable happy times with childhood friends

In a picturesque scenic spot, I was taking photos of my childhood sisters when I was suddenly awakened by the crowing of a rooster at dawn. Oh, it turns out I was dreaming. Alas, I really don’t want to wake up from the dream and want to continue to get together with my sisters.

My friends and I grew up in the same factory family area. When we were children, we were often led by our grandma to play together. He attended the same elementary school as a child until he graduated from junior high school. Most of the parents of my childhood friends were from the same work unit. After graduating from middle school, most of them went to the educated youth spots designated by their work units to become educated youth. After returning to the city, some sisters found partners in their parents' workplaces. Similar living environment and similar experiences have formed similar opinions. We all get along very well together and can talk about the same thing, so it is relaxing and happy to get together.

Before retirement, due to high job mobility and the need to take care of his young son, he only occasionally got together with his friends. Since retiring in March 2013, I often get together with my childhood friends.

The World Expo Park, Golden Palace, Daguan Tower, Yuantong Mountain, Chengjiang and other scenic spots left behind the songs and laughter of childhood friends: Xinping, Mengzi, Jianshui, Yimen and Shizong and other places left behind The happy figures of our partners; farmers’ markets such as Shuanglong Town and Fumin Changkou left traces of our partners’ footprints. When everyone gets together, they help each other, take care of each other, talk about what is on their mind together, and sometimes even joke. It’s really fun and warm at the same time.

I remember that in July 2014, we made an appointment to go to Yimen to buy mushrooms. At the farmer’s market, I just squatted down to look at the mushrooms when a moth flew into my left ear. I picked it out several times with my hands. Instead of taking it out, it got deeper and deeper into my ear. The moth flapped its wings in my ear from time to time, which made me uncomfortable and worried. I decided to go to the county hospital to remove the moth. My friend Sister Liang took the initiative to accompany me to the hospital for treatment. Having someone with me makes me feel more at ease. Unfortunately, the doctor who removed the foreign body was not available. Hearing that we had Kunming accents, the doctor suggested that we go to Kunming for diagnosis and treatment. We met up with other friends and returned to Kunming together. As soon as I got off the bus, Sister Liang couldn't bear to go home and accompanied me to Kunming Railway Hospital to pick up moths. From the first floor to the third floor for diagnosis and treatment. The doctor first drops anesthetic in the ear to numb the moth, and then flushes it out with hot water. The doctor also told me that next time I encounter this problem, I can put sesame oil in my ears and the moths will flow out of the ear holes. Looking at the moth I took out, I finally felt relieved. After coming out of the hospital, Sister Liang took me to the bus before going home. Looking at her back, I thanked this partner from the bottom of my heart for accompanying her and helping her all the way. As soon as I got home, my friends who went with me called to inquire, which made me feel warmer.

In February this year, my sisters met to travel to Nujiang River. Just as the car passed Chuxiong, it accidentally rear-ended the car in front of us. My husband and I were caught off guard. Our companions in the car, Sister Li and his wife, comforted us and helped us deal with related matters, taking the initiative to find solutions. They also took us to a restaurant for lunch at noon to help us settle down and face what happened wisely. After several hours of running around, I finally took the car to the 4S store. Looking at the couple's retreating figures, my husband and I were so moved that we didn't know what to say. During this period, my friends called me to inquire about car repairs. Afterwards, my friends met to calm down our shock, which made me feel the warmth of a big family.

I have been taking care of my granddaughter in Jinghong for more than a year. Whenever I come back to Kunming, my friends will get together to see each other and talk about the situation after we parted. It is cordial and warm.

Ah, the happy time with my friends is unforgettable for me.
