Miss Shui
Far eastern dying & finishing (Suzhou) (Suzhou) / Lu Huijuan
When I heard Wu Nong's soft words from other cleaning aunts in the canteen these days, I always felt lost, because I could no longer see the figure of "water sister", and no one would come to chat with me and joke with me with a Suzhou accent
Early Suzhou people used to call girls "little sister". Most people also like to bring the word "sister" in their daughters' names. The "water sister" I know is not a gorgeous girl, but an aunt over 70. She accidentally found her name. Whenever she sees her, she always calls her "water sister" jokingly!
Shuimei is the cleaning aunt in charge of the sanitation of our office. When I first met her, I thought she was very energetic and could speak Mandarin. Every morning I would shout "aunt" to her; When she is free, she also likes to stop by me for a while. Once, my aunt took a fancy to my hiking shoes and asked me to help online shopping. At first, she thought she was just joking. Unexpectedly, she came to ask again. Only then did she find that my aunt also knew online shopping. It turned out that she had grandchildren similar to my age. She just didn't want to trouble them, so she entrusted me. I bought shoes for my aunt. She not only politely wouldn't let me refund my change, but also often gave me snacks, and even brought me homemade special snacks. She insisted that I try them! The most touching thing is that sometimes when I go to work in the morning, I find a cucumber and a boiled corn on the table. Although they are not valuable gifts, they are all pure natural ingredients planted by my aunt. It's really warm for me in a foreign land! Not only provided food supplies, my aunt even acted as a matchmaker for me. Although the result failed, I was still grateful. In my heart, she is a friend, also like grandma
Unknowingly, my aunt is getting older and older. Originally, she planned to go home this year and enjoy happiness. Moreover, her children and grandchildren are full of food and clothing. She should have enjoyed her old age. She has only served here for nearly 10 years, and she is inevitably reluctant to give up. Why don't I feel sad to see her red eyes? After all, it's hard to find such a simple person who is good to me in the future. I hope I can always be the "little sister" in my aunt's mouth!
I hope there will be a chance to meet sister Shui in the future. I also wish her a new way of life after retirement, good health and happy every day!
