Sparrow burst into a relaxed and reassuring smile in the crowd. He pulled something out of his pocket to wipe his sweat. When he looked at it, he found it was a pair of underwear and stuffed it back quickly.

Norrington held up the fire globe, a symbol of hope, and ran steadily forward. Just now, the female reporter who came to him with a loud speaker rushed over and handed the microphone to him: "this international friend is James Norrington, a candidate of Tsinghua University! Let's invite him to talk..."

Behind the crowd, little girl Elizabeth stood upside down like an ostrich. Hearing the words "James Norrington" vaguely, she straightened up quickly, opened the gap and glimpsed the candidate from a distance. Her eyes suddenly lit up.

Elizabeth jumped and raised her hand. "Teacher, that's my brother."

"If it were your brother, it would be my ancestor!"

Elizabeth saw that the teacher didn't believe it and was so anxious that she didn't scratch it. Just next to an old lady stood up to watch the excitement and left the small bench she had brought with her aside. Elizabeth stepped on the little bench and shouted at her throat, "brother - brother!"

Norrington, who had been running along the designated route, saw Elizabeth and immediately walked over with great strides.

The rhythmic applause and cheers on both sides of the street turned into a whisper. The running team stopped blankly, wondering whether to follow the torchbearer or continue to move forward.

The female reporter instinctively followed Norrington and pulled the microphone cable hard, and the photographer behind was staggered.

"Sir? Sir? I'm interviewing..." the female reporter whispered a reminder, covering the microphone.

Elizabeth felt the pleasure of vanity for the first time in his short life.

The children who had just teased and laughed at him had already surrounded him and looked at him with open mouths and envy. The teacher's eyes also brought a praise and kindness. Uncle, aunt, Grandpa, grandma... Everyone at the bridge is watching - looking at the intelligent and fit

Norrington smiling towards his sister.

Oh, that's really my brother! "

He walked to Norrington with a smile and looked at the little girl who waved to him desperately. Countless pictures flashed in his mind. Six years ago, he was also late for study

He and sparrow opened the gate of the tube building of the dormitory and ran all the way in the dark corridor. With a bang, they knocked open an old wooden door, and there came the cry of a baby.

He held his breath and walked carefully to the bedside. In this dark and cramped dormitory, on the creaking wooden shelf bed, there is the rarest treasure in the world - a wrinkled face and crying baby. As he approached, the baby seemed to feel something, suddenly stopped crying, opened a pair of black bean like eyes and looked at the late visitor curiously.

A stream of heat rushed into his eyes. He didn't know how to hide it. He could only slap sparrow next to him: "my sister! My sister! I'll make her the best person in the world!"

For this promise, he read a lot of books.

Norrington thought of the stacks of children's psychology, on education, cultivation of gifted children, education of love... Every book was full of notes. He often shook his cradle while reading. He was fascinated. His sister fell out of the cradle and cried loudly. He didn't feel it.

Norrington smiled and shook his head. "The book says that the essence of education lies in equality." he made Elizabeth suffer a little. A few years later, Elizabeth redoubled her efforts.

At that time, she was three and a half years old, right? He rode home from work with a drawing under his arm. Elizabeth and a group of children hid by the side of the road. When he approached, she shouted, "big monster! Hit him!" seven or eight children rushed up, surrounded him in the middle, beat him, and buried him with a pile of fallen leaves.

"Let's water the saplings," the bear child suggested.

Early autumn weather! With a pot of cold water in his pocket... Norrington still shivered when he thought of it, and his thoughts drifted to the year when Elizabeth was five years old.

"Hey, hey, at the level of making each other suffer, we are evenly matched."

The kindergarten was over, and the children cheered and scattered. Their grandparents hurried behind with schoolbags and kettles: "be careful. Slow down!"

As the only brother who came to pick up the child, he shouted to Elizabeth, "Little Turtle, is that your speed?" he raised his right hand, nodded his head with his index finger, aimed at the child's head and said disdainfully, "use your brain. Swing your arm. Swing your arm can make you faster.

Swing your arms! Swing your arms! It's too slow! Can it be faster? "

Elizabeth was enraged. She roared, over all the grandparents, over all the running children, running faster and faster. Then he hit the tree heavily.

Norrington closed his eyes with an "ouch", couldn't bear to see, and then opened a seam.

Elizabeth sat dizzy under the tree with a big swelling on her head. She looked at her brother and was happy for a long time. Norrington was happy, too.

The sun that day was the same as today.

Norrington walked up to his sister and picked her up. Who could have thought that such a small red meatball and a sweet and soft baby could grow into such a strong little beauty?

The crowd gathered around them, smiling and cheering.

"Brother, why are you carrying a big schoolbag and they applaud you? Aren't you afraid of wetting the bed at night?"

"Because they like the school that my brother wants to test very much. There were no international candidates here, and the Chinese have to go a long way to take the test in the United States. My brother is a magician. After a big magic trick, there will be this university. When you grow up, you must do what you like best. In that case, you can also take risks anywhere on the earth with a big schoolbag on your back. Happy birthday Elizabeth Norrington looked at her sister tenderly and handed her the present she had been holding in her hand.

"Globe!" Elizabeth grinned.
