My father passed away early when I was young, and my mother took my sister and me to live with us.
I remember that there were no snacks at all at that time. The only thing I ate was popcorn fried with corn secretly by my sister. It was particularly delicious with some saccharin.
Because the family is poor, my sister can only speculate secretly without letting her mother see it.
Later, my sister had leukemia, and my mother took her to see a doctor. I was still young and naive, thinking that my sister was just suffering from a minor illness.
I was left alone at home. I had a full meal every day and lit an oil lamp at night when I was hungry.
Later, my mother came back and said that my sister was dead!
I knew my sister had left us forever, so I cried looking for her.
Mom said: My sister is not married and cannot be buried, so I can only spread her ashes!
Later, my mother took me to marry into this stepfather's home. My stepfather was very good to me. I was only 8 years old at that time.
But I was very obedient because my stepfather treated me like his own child.
