Uncle Yunwen lives in a breeding stock forestry factory in Jinzhou, Liaoning. Uncle Yunwen is a well digger and aunt Sun Guifen is an ordinary female worker in the forestry factory. Yunwen and Sun Guifen have only one four-and-a-half-year-old boy named Yunlongxi.

Yun Longxi saw his father Yunwen bring back a beautiful little sister. He shyly approached Xiao Mengyan and looked at Xiao Mengyan carefully with his big watery eyes: the little sister had a pair of bright big eyes, like two shining stars, and her long eyelashes were like black brushes, gently fluttering, which made her clear eyes stand out, making Xiao Longxi love her. The little sister's hair was black and shiny, like a bunch of shining silk threads, and her skin was white and translucent, as if it could emit light, making Xiao Longxi want to get close to her... Xiao Longxi gently touched Xiao Mengyan's hand, and Xiao Mengyan took Xiao Longxi's hand, and the two children held hands and laughed "giggle"...

Aunt Sun Guifen also likes Xiao Mengyan very much. She braids her hair in various ways every day and always wants to dress her up beautifully. Sun Guifen's doting on Xiao Mengyan makes Xiao Longxi jealous. "Xiao Mengyan, go back to your home soon! This is my home, this is my mother!" Xiao Longxi shouted to Xiao Mengyan.

Xiao Mengyan was pushed into Liu Guifen's arms by her younger brother Xiao Longxi. Liu Guifen said angrily: "Longxi, how can you bully your sister..." Then she slapped Xiao Longxi's butt twice, making Xiao Longxi cry loudly.

Xiao Mengyan hurriedly wiped away her brother Xiao Longxi's tears and said, "Sister has grown up. She shouldn't let her aunt braid her hair. From now on, sister will braid it herself. Sister was wrong to cause Xilong to be beaten! Sister was wrong, Longxi, don't cry!"

After coaxing her brother Long Xi, Xiao Mengyan said to her aunt, "Aunt, please don't hit my brother. Hit me instead. I took away your love for my brother, and that's why he is jealous. From now on, I will learn to braid my hair by myself. You coax my brother Long Xi!" Xiao Mengyan said as she pulled her aunt Liu Guifen to Xiao Longxi and quietly walked away.

Xiao Mengyan walked to the willow tree outside the yard, stroked the little willow tree and said with tears in her eyes: "Little willow tree, do you still remember your big willow tree mother? Do you miss your big willow tree mother? I miss my mother. I want to be like Xiao Longxi and see my mother every day. My mother is sick. I separated from her so that she can recover well. When will my mother recover? When can I go back to my mother?..."

"Xiao Mengyan, why are you missing your mother again?" Uncle Yunwen said behind Xiao Mengyan without knowing when.

"Uncle, 'woo woo woo' I... I... When can I go home to see my mother?" Little Mengyan raised her tender little face and asked her uncle Yunwen while crying.

"Good child, don't cry. When you cry, mom will feel the pain and her heart will be broken. It will not be good for your recovery. If Xiao Mengyan wants you to get better soon, you must be strong and optimistic and be a sensible child. If you are happy, mom will not feel the pain and you will get better soon. When you get better, you can be with her every day!" Uncle Yunwen comforted Xiao Mengyan.

"Is there really such a thing as telepathy?! I won't cry anymore. I want to be strong and happy! I hope mom can get better soon, then I can be with her every day!" Xiao Mengyan said as she wiped away her tears and forced an unnatural smile.

During the day, Xiao Mengyan stayed at home to take care of her younger brother Xiao Longxi, cook, and feed the pigs while her uncle Yunwen and aunt Sun Guifen went to work.

When Xiao Mengyan was working, she was afraid that Xiao Longxi would run around, so she put Xiao Longxi on a long stool with high legs. To prevent Xiao Longxi from getting down by himself, Xiao Mengyan deliberately raised two of the four legs of the stool a little bit. In this way, if Xiao Longxi wanted to get down by himself, as soon as he moved, the four legs of the stool would be unstable and start to wobble. Xiao Longxi was afraid of falling, so he was so scared that he dared not to move. He had to sit on the stool obediently and wait for Xiao Mengyan to finish her work, then she would pick Xiao Longxi up.

With a little helper at home, Uncle Yunwen and Aunt Sun Guifen can go to work with peace of mind. After Uncle and Aunt got off work, Xiao Mengyan prepared the meal and fed her brother Longxi, and waited for Uncle and Aunt to have dinner together. After dinner, Xiao Mengyan and Aunt cleaned up the dishes while listening to Aunt Sun Guifen telling stories in her Shandong dialect (Aunt Sun Guifen is from Shandong). Xiao Mengyan didn't understand Shandong dialect at first, but later she listened with gusto. After Aunt Sun Guifen finished telling a story, Xiao Mengyan was not satisfied and begged Aunt Sun Guifen to tell another one.

When Xiao Mengyan listened to her aunt Sun Guifen telling stories, she always felt like her mother was telling her a story. Several times, Xiao Mengyan blurted out, "Mom, tell me one!"

When her uncle Yunwen and aunt Sun Guifen rested on weekends, Xiao Mengyan was not idle either, and went to the fields to dig wild vegetables for the pigs. Xiao Mengyan knew that only by working hard could she help her uncle and aunt reduce their burdens... A busy life could also reduce her longing for her mother...

One night, Uncle Yunwen said to Aunt Sun Guifen, "Xiao Mengyan is already seven years old. It's time for her to go to school. She is already in the first grade in Heilongjiang!" Yunwen looked at Xiao Mengyan who was busy every day and was worried that her studies would be delayed.

"Xiao Mengyan doesn't have a household registration here, so the school won't accept her! Tomorrow I'll ask someone to use their connections to see if Xiao Mengyan can go to school." Sun Guifen responded to Yunwen.

"You have to hurry up and do this! We can't let Xiao Mengyan take care of Xiao Longxi and delay her studies!" Yunwen urged.

"I understand. Go to sleep quickly. I will go to see my eldest brother after get off work tomorrow. My eldest brother is friends with the principal of our elementary school. See if he can help." Sun Guifen said and fell into a deep sleep.

The conversation between her uncle and aunt was clearly heard by Xiao Mengyan, who was not asleep. Yes, Xiao Mengyan wanted to go to school again, but she did not dare to hope to go to school again at her uncle's house. "If my mother was not sick, I could go to school now, and she could help me check my homework after school..." Xiao Mengyan thought to herself.

Xiao Mengyan heard her uncle Yunwen snoring. She saw her aunt Sun Guifen also sleeping soundly. She was not sleepy at all and quietly got up and went outside.

Today is the fifteenth day of the lunar calendar. Little Mengyan looked up at the bright moon hanging in the night sky, and saw the bright stars scattered around their mother, the moon... The moonlight filled the yard, and the longing for her mother enveloped Little Mengyan...

Little Mengyan sang softly back and forth: The stars in the sky are silent, the dolls on the ground miss their mothers, the eyes in the sky blink, my mother's heart is dianthus, the meadows in my hometown are full of flowers, my mother's heart is at the end of the world, I think of my mother's flowers every night, sparkling tears, dianthus, ah ah ~, sparkling tears. Dianthus, ah ah ~ I think of my mother's words every night, sparkling tears, dianthus, ah ah ~
