It’s an too annoyed noon to make one feel sleepy. The sky looks cloudy outside ,when the laking animation and dizzy wind stretches himself sometimes, the trees waved a little reluctantly and irregularly.
Although it’s midsummer now,we cannot be covered by any sunshine, so it’s still quite cool .What’s more, the black clouds gradually come down to your head which makes you even more colder. Few birds flies by in a hurry,they’re all tightwads because they don’t willing to sing a simple word. It seems that only the dandelion beside the window haven’t effected by the lousy weather, on the contrary, they willfully flourishied a lot .Making use of the wind , some seeds helding their tiny pure white unbrella and setting their foot on a life-long journey under their mothers’ wish. Life is always like this, have nothing differient than any before.
At the sudden moment ,the memory about that silver bracelet came into my mind,without any implications. It’s twinkling colour , plain appearance and silvery sound…… Perhaps they have overstocked in my mind,or they’re afraid of being forget or forget us. Who knows?Maybe they just want to enjoy the sunshine,because they have been in the bottom of our memory for a long long time.
I have asked my family about the bracelet ,it’s strange that all the members have something in mind about that bracelet.Moreover, that memory cannot be wiped out easily. We can clearly describe out some dertails about it such as it’s size ,weigh ,made up with three section of cilver strips and my sister can even accurately tell about the covers on it. The weird thing is that no one knows where it came from and where it had been. However,it had been stayed quietly in our house for decades and brought us many dreams ,hopes and expectations.Indeed, we have guessed whether it’s a love token of mother’s, but we denyed it very soon, for father was badly off at that time and he couldn’t have enough money to buy the bracelet. Was it a dowry of mother’s? We still doubt it in that it’s a little inferior as a dowry .In this way, the bracelet become a riddle of our generation.
As to my sister,that bracelet is a an ornament at some time.She’d take it out when feast day comes or there’s something important happened, anyway, whenever she needed to put on a new dress,she’d wear it .At that period of time ,she’s taller than the cabinet,she can fetched it easily without the help of any stool and without lift her heels.The question is that it looks funny when she wore it ,since she must rose her hands up as give up.Sister always stop to my mum if the latter need her to do something.Sister have got used to being busy, the sudden put down of her hands give a chance to the gracelet to slide down naughtily,singing happily and dancing ,which always suffered from my brother’s supercilious look, all of us believe that the gracelet belongs to everyone,never a single person.Nevertheless,while mom always looked kind ,rejoicing exceed bless ,welfare exceed anger. Sister picked it up from the floor at once and threw it into the cabinet. The sickening thud the gracelet hit the cabinet then a tinkling sound the two gracelet hit each other mixed ,which latter deep grained in my memory.
Be softly,and put it in a right way.I’ll buy you a better one when you’re married.”mum said ,a little worried and caused a cough, her face blushed when she bent to pick up the gracelet.
“I won’t married! I would rather to be with you .”Sister said determined.
My brother and I didn’t believe what she said , everybody want to get a better pair of graceltet. Otherwise, what’s the reason that sister worked that harder? It’s a pity that when she married, mum didn’t cash in what she have promised. Sister didn’t get married with a better gracelet but the bicycle and washmachine.In my mother’s view, the new electric appliance is better than a gracelet as a dowry. While in our view, we’ve a special feeling on the gracelet.
It’s a little bother for my brother to take out the gracelet,he must first took the stool ,not his head stretched into the cabinet untill he can touch the gracelet.In that case ,it must be the situation that mum promised to buy us something good to eat, and my brother always too impatiant to take out the gracelet and wondered a lot. At that time ,the fried dough twist is the most decilious food in the world to us .It’s full of temptation and nothing can substitute it .
“Don't worry, I’ll sell the gracelet and buy you lots twists when there’s someone wants to buy the gracelet.”mum said slowly and it seemed that she didn’t care anything.
All of these let us made daydreams a lot : How many fried dough twists would it be ? How many twists can each of us get? How long can we finish it ,one meal or sevel days? Sometimes the three twisted section of gracelet reminded us of the tasty fried dough twist. Then we’ll laughed in our beard and licked our lips .It’s cool and smooth , as if we’re enjoying something sweety when we licked our lips.From then on , we always wish the man who comes to buy the gracelet can come out earlier and hope we can share the tasty twists earlier.
Unfortunately,mum got sick day after day , and needed to see the doctor frequently. We didn’t cry or made any noise , we behaved very oppotimistic.For we’re sure that no matter how late it was, mum never came back with nothing. Everytime, she’d take a few twists .Sometimes she didn’t come back without anything because she cares about we guys,hile in most times ,it’s because aunts consider that our poor mum need more nutritions ,but everytime ,mum didn’t take it alone.In our memories ,mum have never ate some delicious food alone but the vivid picture to distribute twists to us .We standed in a line and waited for the food ,brother is younger ,so he can got two sections while sister and I got only one section, but who’d grudge to eat ? Often, we just took out the twists, bit a little, smelt for a while and kept it in a safe place. Time after time ,it may took us several days to finish one twist.And it’s still tastes good even when it became harder .
Afterwards ,I study in the normal university, the time powered off is the time I ate the twists. When it’s powered off too often , eating twists became a burden to me,and even now I hardly eat the twist. Despite all of this, the first memory about the twist is still fresh ,and everytime I recalled the past ,the crispy and tasty feel is beyond all comparison.
“Fried tough twist, honey twist .”
Everytime I passed by the store where sell the twist,hearing the kind cry , the happy feeling with the tasty smell followed me all together. I stoped and watched the busy people, leaving my feeling flied far far away.
Every year near the Spring Festival ,sister, brother and I take out the gracelet one by one. Mum had said that she’ll make new clothes for us all. And we knew that the best wish is that gracelet, which can exchange new clothes for us,for there’s nothing more valuable than it in our house. To our surprise, mum seemed to have uncountable ideas, she didn’t sell the gracelet, and we guys still had new clothes every year. So that the gracelet still stayed steadily in the bottom of the cabinet safely.
Time flies while we’re waiting. We enjoyed many happy days during the hard time because of waiting .The weird thing is that ,the people who will buy the gracelet had never appeared and we haven’t seen mum sold it.
Every night when a myriad twinkling lights of a city died, mum’s cough made one sleepless,the sound the gracelet hit the cabinet will light the dark night in time at the internal of mum’s cough. Why we couldn’t sold the gracelet for the best medicine to stop mum’s cough? We have thought about it for many times even if we couldn’t enjoy the crispy twists. With this consideration, the hope that the people come to buy the gracelet can appear more earier is more fierce,but we didn’t see him all the time.
Nobody referred the gracelet when we growed up. As a result , no one knows that when the gracelet left our house and where have it gone.But we know that it must be sold by our mum at a especially enbarrassed time.
Cast back the hard time, sister got married, brother and I studied outside? Nobody can get the right answer. It must be a quiet night when we’re not at home ,mum took out the gracelet together with most of the memories. There must be a beautiful promise about the gracelet which sent mum many happy times .In the lanplight , mum starerf at the gracelet without any language at that moment ,she read the gracelet silently,and confronted the difficulties sraight forward.Facing the gracelet which will soon be away with her , I wonder ed the vomplicated feeling in her heart. Is that gracelet eventually to be sister’s dowry or the tuition of brother and i? In fact, it ought to be one part of mum’s life. Perhaps, it’s just one part of mum’s life. It’s a pity that it didn’t last mum’s life! We happen to think of that gracelet when mum left us forever. But we couldn’t find it in the cabinet forever. We couldn’t heard the sound of the gracelet as well as mum’s tender smile.
The gracelet is the only hope ,a drop of sunshine and the longing when we’re deep in trouble.And now , it’s the most memorable recollection,the most heart-wrenching yearning and the deeply ingrained grateful.
