My Niece (1)

In my memory, my niece is never a normal child.

After she was born, I went to visit my sister, what I saw in my sister’s arms was a pink face covered with black hair. Seeing me in shock, my sister comforted me:” The doctor said the hair will come off after a couple of months.”

I can’t remember exactly when she started to talk, but she started to talk when she was laying in her cradle. A lady doctor lived upstairs once stopped by to see the baby, when she bent down to look at the child, my niece started to talk to her. The doctor took a step back and said:” Mei Mei, you surely scared me.”

We all know in China, back during 1980s, there were still not many toys for kids and my sister used to put her on a small stool. She was so tiny sitting on the stool that her feet would dangle above the floor. She would sit there playing all kinds of things except toys, at that time she was a little good natured girl.
