天上的星星
<p>我小的时候，家里特别穷。没有表，母亲就借天上的星星计时来做活儿。</p><p><span word="When">When</span> <span word="I">I</span> <span word="was">was</span> <span word="little">little</span>, <span word="my">my</span> <span word="family">family</span> <span word="was">was</span> <span word="very">very</span> <span word="poor">poor</span>. <span word="Without">Without</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="watch">watch</span>, <span word="my">my</span> <span word="mother">mother</span> <span word="would">would</span> <span word="do">do</span> <span word="her">her</span> <span word="work">work</span> <span word="by">by</span> <span word="timing">timing</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="stars">stars</span> <span word="in">in</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="sky">sky</span>.</p><p>冬天的晚上，母亲早早地给妹妹铺好被窝，把她安顿好，就开始做活。记得那天，北风呼呼地刮着。我趴在被窝里看书，总是嫌灯暗，但母亲却说这比她小的时候好多了，这就已经不算暗了。那时，我陪着母亲做活，有时看书，有时写作业。但时间不长就熬不住了，在纳鞋底的嗡嗡声中甜甜地睡去。第二天早上起来，我看见两只鞋底放在炕上，问母亲昨天晚上什么时候睡的。母亲的回答令我感觉新鲜至极--那就是“三星正南“的时候。因为我当时小，所以不知道三星正南是什么时候。反正是我一觉醒来，母亲在做，又一觉醒来，母亲还在做。我虽然不知道是什么时候，但觉得肯定很晚了。</p><p><span word="In">In</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="winter">winter</span> <span word="evening">evening</span>, <span word="my">my</span> <span word="mother">mother</span> <span word="laid">laid</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="bed">bed</span> <span word="for">for</span> <span word="my">my</span> <span word="sister">sister</span> <span word="early">early</span>, <span word="settled">settled</span> <span word="her">her</span> <span word="in">in</span>, <span word="and">and</span> <span word="began">began</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="work">work</span>. <span word="Remember">Remember</span> <span word="that">that</span> <span word="day">day</span>, <span word="the">the</span> <span word="north">north</span> <span word="wind">wind</span> <span word="blowing">blowing</span>. <span word="I">I</span> <span word="lie">lie</span> <span word="in">in</span> <span word="bed">bed</span> <span word="reading">reading</span>, <span word="always">always</span> <span word="disrelish">disrelish</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="light">light</span> <span word="dark">dark</span>, <span word="but">but</span> <span word="my">my</span> <span word="mother">mother</span> <span word="said">said</span> <span word="that">that</span> <span word="it">it</span> <span word="was">was</span> <span word="much">much</span> <span word="better">better</span> <span word="than">than</span> <span word="when">when</span> <span word="she">she</span> <span word="was">was</span> <span word="little">little</span>, <span word="it">it</span> <span word="was">was</span> <span word="not">not</span> <span word="dark">dark</span>. <span word="At">At</span> <span word="that">that</span> <span word="time">time</span>, <span word="I">I</span> <span word="accompanied">accompanied</span> <span word="my">my</span> <span word="mother">mother</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="work">work</span>, <span word="sometimes">sometimes</span> <span word="reading">reading</span> <span word="books">books</span>, <span word="sometimes">sometimes</span> <span word="writing">writing</span> <span word="homework">homework</span>. <span word="But">But</span> <span word="I">I</span> <span word="couldn">couldn</span>'<span word="t">t</span> <span word="stand">stand</span> <span word="it">it</span> <span word="for">for</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="long">long</span> <span word="time">time</span>. <span word="I">I</span> <span word="fell">fell</span> <span word="asleep">asleep</span> <span word="sweetly">sweetly</span> <span word="in">in</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="hum">hum</span> <span word="of">of</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="sole">sole</span>. <span word="The">The</span> <span word="next">next</span> <span word="morning">morning</span>, <span word="I">I</span> <span word="saw">saw</span> <span word="two">two</span> <span word="soles">soles</span> <span word="on">on</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="Kang">Kang</span> <span word="and">and</span> <span word="asked">asked</span> <span word="my">my</span> <span word="mother">mother</span> <span word="when">when</span> <span word="she">she</span> <span word="went">went</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="bed">bed</span> <span word="last">last</span> <span word="night">night</span>. <span word="My">My</span> <span word="mother">mother</span>'<span word="s">s</span> <span word="answer">answer</span> <span word="made">made</span> <span word="me">me</span> <span word="feel">feel</span> <span word="very">very</span> <span word="fresh">fresh</span> -
