My name is Nian Gao and I am nine years old. My sister's name is Wanzi and she is six years old this year.
She calls me Old Sister, and I call her Mengmei.
She is left-handed and I am right-handed. She likes egg whites and I like egg yolks. She likes to run around the house in skirts, and I like to sit quietly in T-shirts and ponytails. She loves the Baby Bus and I love the free meals – but we love nothing more than watching Mi-Wu science experiments together and making a mess in the kitchen.
Grandma said eight hundred times a day: "Wear shoes! Drink water! Put on clothes!" We cover our ears and run away, but when we kick the quilt in the middle of the night, grandma is always the first one to cover us.
We have four elderly people: a long-winded grandma, a silent grandpa, a fashionable grandma who loves online shopping, and a grandpa who looks cool but is actually humorous. The only thing they have in common is besieging their mother.
We have cousins: Yueyue is only four months younger than me and is my best friend; Duoduo is seven years old and is a mysterious figure who only appears when needed.
We have many stories: the war to separate egg yolk and protein, the whispers in bed, the snack-stealing alliance, the kitchen science disaster, complaints and counter-complaints, fights and reconciliations...
We will also grow up. There will be worries, quarrels, partings, and reunions.
But no matter how old she gets, I am still her elder sister and she is still my cute sister.
I am right-handed and she is left-handed.
We pulled the hook.
