My cousin asked me to buy 20 catties of peanut oil, but after sending it, she turned her face with me, and I took the peanut oil and left.
I looked at the message on my phone and felt a warm feeling in my heart. Lina's parents died when she was a child, and I grew up watching her.
However, our family relationship is not always so warm. She had an awkward relationship with me over some trivial matters, and our relationship was a little strained.
The next day, I took my shopping bag to Lina's neighborhood. As soon as she saw me, she said with a gloomy face, "Did you bring it?" ”。
I smiled and took out 20 pounds of peanut oil from my shopping bag and handed it to her. However, Lina's expression was not the slightest gratitude, but full of disdain and indifference.
I was stunned for a moment, looking at her indifferent back, and a nameless sadness arose in my heart. I didn't expect her to be too grateful to me, but the disrespectful attitude was a bit hard for me to accept.
"Lina, why are you like this?" I couldn't help but speak, "I bought peanut oil for you out of concern and love for you, why do you do this to me?" ”
Lina stopped and looked at me coldly. "Of course you love me, I know that. But do you really think that I think that such a small thing can offset the conflict between us? Oh, that's cheaper for you.
I took a deep breath and calmed down. I don't want to solve the problem with a verbal argument because I know it will only make things worse.
Lina's eyes softened as she listened to me. "But, you know what? I feel like you're always pointing fingers at me and interfering too much in my affairs.
I stepped forward and patted her on the shoulder. "I also know that I may be a little too nervous, but you are my own sister, and I only care about you out of love for you.
A tear glistened in Lina's eyes. "Sister Meimei, I know that you are for my good, but I also hope that you can give me some space for myself and give me the opportunity to be independent and grow.
I was so relieved to hear her honesty. We sat down face to face, confiding in each other, slowly dissolving the barriers.
In this way, we finally brought each other closer again and rebuilt the bond of affection. This little thing made me understand how to get along with each other, and it also made me cherish this warm love even more.
Lina caught up, grabbed my arm, gasped and said, "Sister Meimei, please wait." ”
I stopped, turned to look at Lina, and asked, "What's wrong?" What happened? ”
Lina told me with some worry on her face, "Sister Meimei, I just realized my mistake. I'm really sorry that I was too cold and rude to you before.
I looked at her sincere eyes and felt her sincerity. "No apologies, Lina. I know you're also impulsive, and we all have imperfections.
Lina nodded, and easily grabbed my arm. "Sister Meimei, I really appreciate your care and love for me all the time.
I smiled and stroked her hair. "Silly girl, my sister is just as grateful to you. It's inevitable that we will have some differences, but no matter what happens, we need to support and understand each other.
Just as we regained the balance of family affection, we suddenly heard a commotion at the entrance of the community.
Lina went up to inquire about the situation and learned that the woman was a resident of the neighborhood and that the ingredients she had just purchased were sold to her by the vendor at shoddy prices.
I looked at Lina's determined back and felt warmth overflowing in my heart. As her older sister, I know that she is warm and kind at heart, always willing to help.
I quickly walked up to the vendors and said to them solemnly, "You can't bully the residents of the neighborhood and sell shoddy goods.
The hawkers began to panic in the face of my resolute attitude. Finally, they agreed to refund the residents who were bought inferior goods.
Lina and the resident bowed deeply in thanks, and they said gratefully, "Thank you!" Without your help, we might have eaten poisonous food.
Lina and I glanced at each other, and we both had a wordless tacit understanding in our hearts. The affection between family members is not only reflected in the care and care for each other, but also in the fulfillment of social responsibilities and obligations.
When she got home, Lina sat quietly on the couch with a cup of hot tea in her hands. She looked at the ripples in the tea and said softly, "Sister Meimei, I'm really glad to have you by my side."
I approached her and held her hand. "Lina, our relationship is not just sisters, but friends. We grow together, we face difficulties together, and we support each other no matter what happens.
Lina smiled and nodded, her eyes full of determination. "Yes, whatever happens in the future, we will face it together.
Lina caught up with me, gasping for breath and said, "Sister Meimei, wait a minute. I stopped, turned to face her, and asked, "What's wrong?" What's the matter? Lina hesitated for a moment, then said, "Actually, I asked you for help not just to buy peanut oil.
I looked at her in confusion, and a trace of worry rose in my heart. "What's the matter? Tell me quickly. ”
Lina bit her lip, and courage finally found her. "I had a fight with my boyfriend, and our relationship was very unhappy, and I hope you can help me resolve this conflict," she said.
When I heard this, my heart was also depressed. Lina's relationship has always been opposed by her family, and I have persuaded her many times to hope that she can face this relationship calmly.
I calmed down, shook Lina's hand, and encouraged, "Lina, let's have a good talk and see if we can find a solution to the problem."
We found a quiet café to sit down, and Lina slowly confided in her conflict with her boyfriend.
This makes Lina feel restrained and depressed, triggering an argument between them. "I was really in pain and didn't know what to do," she said.
I took a deep breath and thought hard. I said to Lina, "Lina, I can understand your feelings, after all, everyone has their own pursuits and independent needs.
In order to change the situation, we can first try to have a good talk with our boyfriend and sit down to communicate each other's thoughts and needs.
Lina nodded silently, a glimmer of hope in her eyes. She knows that a person's decisions are not always easy, but she is stronger when someone is around to support and encourage her.
Xiao Ming ran up to us and said nervously, "Lina, I'm sorry, I was wrong, I shouldn't have restricted your freedom and independence.
As he spoke, he knelt down in front of Lina and apologized deeply to her.
Lina froze, her eyes moist. She looked at Xiao Ming, and all kinds of emotions surged in her heart. Eventually, she reached out and gently helped Xiao Ming up.
When I saw this scene, I felt a surge of joy and emotion in my heart. The young couple experienced conflicts and quarrels, but with the power of family affection and love, they cherished each other more and were willing to change for the sake of happiness.
Lina caught up with me, looking at the peanut oil in my hand, and she once again showed a dissatisfied expression. "Do you think I'll forgive you for this bottle of peanut oil? You are so naïve! ”。
She interrupted me excitedly: "Care and love? How do you care for and love me? You never listen to me, you always point fingers and deprive me of my freedom! I've had enough! ”
My eyes moistened, and I never thought that my care and affection would become a shackle to her.
"Lina, I'm sorry, I didn't realize I had caused you so much burden. I will try my best to change myself and give you more space and respect.
She froze and smiled mockingly. "Huh, you want to change? I will no longer believe in your empty promises. ”
I was pained to redeem this relationship, but I knew it would take more effort and time. I gradually calmed down and said seriously, "Lina, I know it's hard for you to believe my change for a while.
I am willing to accept your scrutiny and criticism, as long as it can rebuild trust between us.
Lina looked at me, the hostility in her eyes gradually dissipating, replaced by a touch of confusion. "Sister Meimei, are you really willing to change? Won't you control me like you used to? ”。
I clasped her hand and said firmly, "I swear, I will try to let you have your own life and space and no longer interfere in your decisions."
Lina's eyes also had tears in her eyes, and she trembled slightly, and nodded quietly. "Well, I believe you, but you have to stick to your promises.
I felt a sense of relief that this time, I would not fail to live up to her expectations. We decided to rebuild trust and work together to overcome the difficulties and contradictions ahead.
I walked away with peanut oil, and Lina chased after me, still with a cold expression on her face. "Do you just want to leave?".
I stopped, turned to look at her, and there was a hint of doubt in my mind. "What's wrong? Is there anything else? ”。
Lina sighed and said with some hesitation, "Actually, I still have a small request..."
I knew it wasn't over yet, and she hadn't finished saying anything. I waited patiently for her to continue.
Lina lowered her head and bit her lip gently. She finally spoke: "Sister Meimei, in fact, this time I asked you to buy peanut oil not for yourself, but to help a friend."
I want to borrow this peanut oil to help her with her life problems.
When I heard this, a nameless anger welled up in my heart. "You asked me to buy it for someone else? And they didn't tell me the truth? Do you think it's the right thing to do? ”。
Lina looked up, a hint of apology in her eyes. "I'm sorry, Sister Meimei, I didn't mean to deceive you.
I felt a pang of disappointment and anger. I am worried that Lina will be deceived in helping this friend, and I hope that she will appreciate her efforts even more.
I took a deep breath and tried to calm my emotions. "Lina, I understand that you want to help your friend's kindness, but you have to understand that we should not solve problems in a deceitful way.
Lina nodded silently, a flash of realization flashing in her eyes. "You're right, I made a decision without thinking it through, and I didn't discuss it with you.
I stepped forward and gently patted her on the shoulder. "It's okay, Lina. As an older sister, I will always be there for you to support you.
We got back together, and the sense of alienation in our hearts began to slowly dissipate. Disputes and conflicts between families need to be resolved through communication and understanding.
