You ask me how deeply I love you

Maybe because I was an only child, I always envied girls with older brothers.

Mind you, I just want a brother, not a sister, brother, or sister. Because I feel that except for my brother, others will dilute the love my parents gave me. Besides, I am also a selfish person. I remember my mother once jokingly asked me, "How about you give birth to a sister again?" I was watching a cartoon at the time, and I replied without looking up, "I'll strangle me right away!" Secretly told my father, "Your daughter is so vicious!" The

reason why I want to have a brother is not to have a company, but to have a safe place where I can run wild. Maybe in my subconscious, all brothers love their sisters.

The siblings in "Little Shoes" live at the bottom of society. So even if the love between them is very humble, it is often more moving.

In the face of the landlord's repeated visits to ask for rent; in the face of the owner of the fruit and vegetable store, they are not allowed to take credit again; because there is no shoes to wear, my sister can only bury her head deeply; I can only choose to be late and wait for my sister to return her shoes after class before going to class... The two brothers and sisters did not lose hope for life. Ali and Dad rode their bicycles to the wealthy part of the city, wanting to weed their villas to earn some money. But ironically, the only family that allowed them to work was an old man on crutches and a child much younger than Ali. The child's parents are not present. The garden is huge and beautiful. However, it is very empty. In contrast, Ali's family lives in a rented hut with only one room. The brothers and sisters can only do their homework on the floor. They don't even have a decent desk. Their mother is sickly, and their father's income is meager. I have to work overtime all day long to make ends meet, and there is still a baby waiting to be fed at home. However, I can see my father's determination to make money to improve his life; my mother does housework diligently to relieve her husband's burden even if she is not in good health; my brother studies hard and is praised by the teacher; my sister is very well-behaved and helps my mother take care of the children. Baby, bring tea to Dad. How can such a family be given an unhappy hat? On some issues, we don't need to be unified.

I once heard from my mother that when the economic conditions were very bad in the past, her brother, my uncle, only ate, and only ordered some dishes with chopsticks, leaving all the good things for my mother to eat. Later, my uncle joined the army, and there were Jinhua people among his comrades. They brought a lot of Jinhua shortcakes from home and distributed them to my uncle. When my uncle was rehabilitated and changed his career to make some money, he tried every means to buy a girl's headgear for his mother, and then sent it to his mother. There are many, many more things like this. Every time I mentioned it, my mother's eyes were red.

At the end of the film, Ali goes to a running competition in order to give his sister a pair of small shoes. When he was about to run to the finish line, I actually found that my hands were folded unconsciously, and I was inadvertently helping Ali pray for blessings. Really, at that time, I thought the same as him. Just take the third place, just for that pair of shoes.



I really want to ask my sister for Ali, how deeply do I love you?
