Friend--010: A Friend Who I Have Not Known Her Name
(In English and Chinese)

She is one of the most common Chinese women. Her swarthy skin, simple hair style and rough hands shows that she is from countryside. A three or four years old little girl in an old dress and several baby cats in her little grocer, show that she is a mother who is not rich, but a kind and soft mother.      

I do not know where she is from, I also do not know what is her name, even, I can not remember when she became the little grocer's little boss, but I just be used of there is a little shop there and I can run out to buy a box of salt or a bottle of sauce when I am cooking in a half. And even though in the middle night, after a long long business day in the office, I can buy a box of ice cream, a piece of chocolate or something else that I need.   

Since I started my art, music and English learning, I have been driving home in the noon to work on them in my lunch time. So, I always park my car by her little store and buy some simple food.

Last Friday, I rushed out of my car and asked her to give me 2 box of quick noodle as usual. She first time called me "Big Sister" and she said to me that "you'd better not eat this kind of food so often. It is not good for your health. You'd better to cook some general noodle with two eggs and one tomato. It is very simple, needs not much time, but it is healthy more." Meanwhile, she chose one box of traditional noodle to me.

I accepted her suggestion and this box of needle. This noon, when I was cooking my noodle in my kitchen,   when I realized that this box of noodle is cheaper much more than two boxes of quick noodle, when I thought of that her little daughter who is in a very old dress and thought of that she is living relay on her little business, I suddenly felt there were something touching my heart, made me feel warm and also made me want to write something for the common Chinese woman, even though she do not understand my English and also she will not know the warm that she has brought to me forever...

Yes, this is a world that is full of the breath of money, but, there is still something in this world can not be bought with money. They are just friendship, sincereness and affection... Right ?
