The past (2)
Jia heard Mrs. Zhang in silence. She was three at that time when her parents came home one night, carrying a crying baby in their arms. She was too young to remember much of it or question it at that time, but she knew that Lihua was just there one day. She just remembered seeing baby Lihua one day who had stepped into their lives and her mother saying, "Jia. She is your little sister, Lihua. You are a big sister now so make sure you always protect her."
She remembered how she was thrilled to see her. Lihua was soft and cuddly and the moment their eyes met, Jia promised to herself that she would always take care of Lihua. She would always be a kind elder sister who would protect her little sister from all the harm.
