In spring, mother will sprout

In spring, mother will sprout

(Mother was planted in the soil, you have to remember to water, in the spring, mother will sprout!)

She was three years old, and she was asleep when the disaster struck. It was the grandmother who was cleaning the dishes that found a strong sense of shock, and then picked her up from the bed and ran out of the door, which knew that only when she reached the corner of the stairs, the strong shaking made her grandmother no longer move. Grandma hugged her and huddled at the corner of the stairs in which the apartment building they lived soon tilted and collapsed, and it was this corner of stairs that allowed both Grandma and she to survive.

She slept very heavy, perhaps grandma's embrace "shock absorption" is very good, the strong earthquake and collapse sound did not shock her awake, when she woke up, it is already evening, heavy rain through the rubble in the rubble, she asked grandma in panic: "What happened, why do we sit here?"

Grandma told her to listen to the rain girl's voice.

Since the age of two, she likes the rain very much. Every time it rains, she always tries to run outside, but every time she is pulled by her mother. She could not understand why her grandmother had brought her to listen to the rain this time. She asked Grandma, "Why don't we go outside and listen to Miss Rain?"

Grandma told her that the rain girl was afraid of people, and the rain girl ran away as soon as we went out. So, she snuggled up to her grandmother's arms, quietly listening to the rain girl singing voice. After a wave of strong aftershocks, from time to time, rubble fell on her and her grandmother's head, she tightly curled up in her grandmother's arms and said: "Grandma, I am afraid."

Grandma stroked her head and told her, don't be afraid, child, this is the rain girl dancing. Grandma pulled out her apron and picked up some rain from the gap, told her to drink, these are the dew the rain girl gave us, drink it, you can grow up quickly. She took a few sips and smiled happily, though her teeth were a little poor.

After drinking a few sips of rain and listening to her grandmother sing her a sleep song, she soon fell asleep. The next day, they were pulled from the rubble. She was such a sleepy child that when she woke up, they had reached the makeshift cloth shed. She said she was hungry, held her grandmother's hand, and cried for her mother.

Grandma told her that her mother had gone to drop off the rain girl and would be back soon. How did she know that in yesterday's earthquake, the whole school of my mother's teaching collapsed, in order to save the students, my mother did not survive!

In the afternoon, someone sent mineral water and instant noodles, grandma's anxiety was finally solved, and repeatedly did not eat, I really do not know how to explain to her. After dinner, she shouted again, asking grandma to take her out to find her mother. Grandma tried to hold back tears, pointing to the ruins opposite her said, mother was planted in the soil, you have to remember to water, in the spring, mother will sprout!

She cheered and said to her grandmother, "Grandma, you have to buy me a beautiful kettle." Grandma held her in her arms, and kept nodding well, where did she know that grandma had already been in tears at the moment...
