Because of her mother’s academic research, four years old April came to the Netherlands with her parents last year. By chance, she found me to learn piano. After 10 months knowing each other they will return to Xi’an this Saturday. I made a dinner for them last Sunday. That evening she said many times that she didn’t want to leave me. In fact, she has mentioned it many times in the past two months. I promised her to see her when I am in China, and she can see me when she comes to the Netherlands. When it was time to say goodbye, she stopped talking and couldn’t help crying. I hugged her and said, “We will meet soon, you will make me cry.” I really cried. She resisted wiping her tears silently until my front door opened. She was crying loudly against the storm in the “darkness” (she described).
I closed the door, returned to the kitchen and started to cry. So innocent, I really want to stay at five. Perhaps the child felt the pure land in my heart and spread her love with open arms without reservation. This expression of love should be the highest compliment!
Open the refrigerator and saw the meat bread that April’s parents made for me. Tomorrow I will eat them, delicious! The beauty of life comes and goes. We will continue to harvest in real life.
小四月
因为妈妈的学术研究，小四月(April)随爸妈一年前来到荷兰。机缘巧合找到我学钢琴，当时她四岁。10个月时间一晃而过，她现在五岁了，本周六他们一家将返回西安。上周末我为他们做了顿晚餐，算是个简单的饯行。当晚她说了好多次不想离开我，其实过去两三个月里她已经提到过很多次了，我们大人给她不断心理建设，许诺她我去中国时去看她，她来荷兰时来找我。当真到告别时，她欲言又止，然后忍不住哭泣。我抱着她说：“我们很快就见面了，你这样会把我也弄哭的。” 我是真的也掉眼泪了。她强忍着无声的抹眼泪，直到大门打开，迎着漆黑（她当晚形容夜晚的词汇）中的大风放声大哭。
我关上门，回到餐厅，开始流泪。好纯真的年纪，真想自己也停留在五岁。也许是小朋友感受到了我心中的那块不愿长大的净土，毫无保留的张开双臂传递爱意。童言无忌，这种示爱应该是最高级的赞美吧！
打开冰箱，看到四月爸妈给我做的肉夹馍，明天我将大口吃肉。生活中的美好随时来也随时走，真实中不断收获。
