In Beijing in autumn, my mom and I attended my brother's graduation ceremony.

Afterward, my brother took us out for a trip.

During the day, we had a great time playing outside.

At night, in the living room of the homestay, my brother tutored me in writing my paper, so frustrated that he was pulling his own hair.

As the top science scholar Lin Sizhe, he couldn't understand why his sister was so clueless.

As his sister, I also couldn't understand why some people think getting a perfect score in the college entrance exam math is a natural thing, how bizarre!

Later, mom bought a small house in the county and found a job at the supermarket.

On her days off, she slept at home until the sun rose, then went downstairs in slippers to eat her favorite clay pot rice noodles.

She said, "I can eat clay pot rice noodles three times a day, so delicious!"

"People can actually live so carefree, not having to think about meals as soon as they wake up, not having to haggle with customers, not having to go door-to-door to collect debts..."

I protested, "It's not just about collecting debts at the door! Do you remember that time you saw someone who owed money and didn't pay back on the street, you said the battery was low, unloaded me and the goods from the car on the roadside, and chased after them. I squatted on the roadside for over three hours! The money was recovered, and I didn't even get lost. If I had gotten lost, you would have regretted it!"

Mom hugged me apologetically, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'll treat you to clay pot rice noodles tonight."

I struggled out of her embrace, "No, in the end, is it me who wants to eat, or is it you?"
