preface
The man, Su Daming, a native of Lijiang, Yunnan, was preparing a liquid breakfast for his paralyzed vegetative mother one day when there was a knock outside the door.
Su Daming opened the gate and saw that it was the village head, told him that the Liu family in the west of the village was marrying his daughter-in-law, and asked him if he could go over to help wash the dishes and eat at the wedding banquet at noon.
When Su Daming heard such a happy event, he must go, and then went back to the house to talk to his mother and wife, and told his wife to take care of his mother, so he followed the village chief out.
On the way, Su Daming complained that the village chief Liu family had such a happy event, why did he not inform him a few days in advance, he wanted to help, the village chief said: "Knowing that your mother has been bedridden and needs you and your daughter-in-law to take care of her, I am embarrassed to call you."
Today's wedding banquet, you will also pack something for your daughter-in-law and children" Su Daming: "I can't help much when I go today, I'm already embarrassed to eat alone at Liu's house, how can I still pack, besides, she can cook and eat by herself at home."
Su Daming entered the gate of Liu's house and saw many villagers helping to prepare the wedding banquet in the old Liu's house, washing vegetables, setting tables, decorating the house, many children eating fruits and melon seeds, everyone laughed, and the scene was lively.
Su Daming, led by the village chief, began to help wash vegetables in the yard, and after working for several hours, at noon, the groom official married his new daughter-in-law into the house.
At this time, Su Daming helped set off a salute next to him to set up the wedding atmosphere, and after the bride and groom finished praying in the courtyard of the Liu family, relatives and villagers who came to help all poured into the dining table, chicken, duck and fish meat, four joy balls, sauce elbows, wood whisker meat, sweet and sour tenderloin, shredded fish fragrant meat, large pot dishes, buckle bowls, rich dishes, full of fragrant fragrance.
After Su Daming and the villagers drank and ate, it was time to disperse, and when Su Daming got up to leave, he was held by the arm of the Liu family.
The village chief said: "Daming has worked hard today, this is the pork elbow I packed for my younger brother and sister, please be sure to accept it", Su Daming saw that the eldest brother of the Liu family was embarrassed, and he was sincere, and he accepted it cheerfully.
Mysterious gold comb
After Su Daming returned home, he asked his wife if he had fed his mother lunch, and Su Daming's wife Li Xiaohong replied: "I have already fed my mother liquid food, and settled my mother for a nap."
Su Daming then asked: "Have you had lunch", his wife Li Xiaohong replied "because I have to wash the family's clothes, I haven't had time to do it yet", Su Daming continued: "Just right, the old Liu family asked me to pack a pig's elbow for you, you come and eat it."
His wife Li Xiaohong opened the food and found that there was a comb at the bottom of the outer packaging, and hurriedly called Su Daming, who was preparing to take a nap, over: "I found a comb at the bottom of the outer packaging, and it has some weight when it is lifted, can you see if it is gold?"
And where did this comb come from? Su Daming got up and replied: "Oh, Brother Liu gave me an elbow, I didn't even open it and took it home directly, I'll go back to Liu's house and ask."
His wife Li Xiaohong stopped: "You wait first, we should discuss how to prevent others from claiming fraudulently?" Su Daming replied: "This is simple, don't say what it is, let me come over and get a detailed description of the golden comb."
Li Xiaohong added: "Then if the owner thinks that Big Brother Liu's family is a picker, and gives Big Brother Liu's family a detailed description of the golden comb, what if Big Brother Liu's family comes to take it pretendly"?
Su Daming was speechless for a while, and there was nothing to do, Li Xiaohong said: "You can go and report this matter to the village chief, and the village chief came forward to ask the Liu family to call all the relatives who came to tell them to come to us directly if they found that they had lost something."
Su Daming's admiration surged in his heart. Li Xiaohong wrapped the gold comb, put it back in the outer packaging, and locked it in the cabinet. Su Daming went to the village chief's house.
Tell the village chief: "Brother Liu found a valuable thing in the outer packaging of the elbow that he packed, in order to prevent the owner from mistakenly thinking that the Liu family was the picker to describe the lost item in detail to the Liu family, so that the Liu family fraudulently claimed it."
I hope you will come forward and let Brother Liu call all the relatives who came to the wedding banquet, and if someone loses something and comes directly to me, the village chief readily agrees.
The village chief went to Liu's house, entered the gate of Liu's house, saw that the Liu family was washing dishes, tidying up tables and chairs, and walked straight to him after seeing Big Brother Liu.
He said to Brother Liu: "The bag where you packed the pig's elbow for Su Daming has something left by someone else, if it is lost by your family."
The villagers may think: the owner mistakenly believes that your family is the picker, and the characteristics of the lost property are all out, and then your family goes to claim it, in order not to let others gossip, you call all the relatives who came today and tell you to go directly to Su Daming's house if you find that you have lost something."
Brother Liu replied, "Okay village chief, I'll go and inform all my relatives." The village chief followed him into the house and checked the list of relatives who had come to attend the wedding by the phone, making sure that all the notifications were not missed.
But after waiting for half a month, no one came to Su Daming to claim the lost items, and on this day, Su Daming and Li Xiaohong's son Su Sheng went home from school on vacation.
Collect gold and return the comb
Li Xiaohong loved her son, saw her baby son come home, gave her son the key to the money cabinet, asked his son to take 50 yuan to buy a fish and some pork, and made food for his son who only came home once a month at noon.
Su Sheng used the key to open the money cabinet, curiously opened the package and saw the gold comb in the bag, and then said to his mother: "I think of a friend in my school, because my father was seriously ill, my mother asked him to take out the gold comb when he was married and sell it for some medicine money."
My friend traveled a long way from his village to the city, passing through our village when a family was holding a wedding, and he was so hungry that he found a corner table to eat.
Not long after leaving this house, I found that the gold comb had slipped from my pocket, and I walked all the way back, looking for it as I went, and I asked several people when I returned to the house where the wedding banquet was held, and no one knew.
When my friend's mother found out, my friend went back to school to ask the teacher, and the school leaders helped organize a fundraising event, so that my friend's father's medicine bill was covered."
Li Xiaohong, who heard all this, immediately asked Su Daming to tell Su Daming the ins and outs of the matter, and Su Daming asked his son to take him to this friend's house, intending to return the golden comb to the mother of his son's friend in person.
Su Daming saw the mother of his son's friend ask about the detailed characteristics of the golden comb, and determined that the gold comb he picked up was indeed a lost item of this family, so he returned it to the mother.
The son's friend and the son's friend's mother were grateful, and both shed tears: "Fortunately, this golden comb of mine met a good person."
If I don't meet a great benevolent person, my husband's medicine can't be bought, my husband's illness can't be treated, and the pillar of our family will fall! How can we orphans and widows live in the future!
Thank you for your spirit and perseverance, not only saved my husband's life, but also saved the hope of our whole family"!
Su Daming was deeply moved: "Big sister, I am all a show of hands, it is nothing, the most important thing is that the eldest brother gets better as soon as possible." ”
