My classmate brought 3 people to travel, I spent more than 5,000 to entertain, and after he left, he reminded me to look inside the drawer
The sun was just right that day, the breeze was not dry, and when I received a call from my old classmates, I was sitting on a rattan chair on the balcony, drinking tea and enjoying a rare leisure time. The old classmate said on the phone that he planned to bring 3 friends to my side for a tour, and asked me if I had time to entertain them. I agreed without even thinking about it, after all, we have been friends for many years, how can we let people come and eat closed?
Putting down the phone, I began to figure out how to entertain them. Over the years, I have also mixed well in the local area, opened a small restaurant, and the business is booming, and I have a lot of money. I thought to myself that this time I must treat my old classmate well, so that he and his friends can feel my enthusiasm. So, I booked a table of sumptuous dishes in advance at the restaurant and arranged a private room so that they could enjoy the food and the time together.
Finally, the old classmate arrived with his 3 friends. After many years of not seeing each other, everyone was a little excited and hugged each other. I looked at their familiar faces and remembered the happy times of my youth, and my heart warmed. While tasting the food, we talked about our recent situation, and the atmosphere was warm and warm.
After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, everyone was a little drunk. The old classmate suddenly stood up, patted me on the shoulder and said, "Brother, it's really right to come to you for a trip this time! Your hospitality is so thoughtful that we all feel the warmth of home." Come, I'll toast you!" After saying that, he drank it all, and I drank the wine in my glass boldly.
After the meal, I arranged for them to stay in a nice hotel to make sure they had a good trip. During the whole process, I made a rough calculation, and the cost of entertaining them would add up to more than 5,000 yuan. It's not too much of a burden for me, but I still feel a little painful. But when I think about the camaraderie between old classmates, I think it's all worth it.
A few days later, the old classmate and his friends were ready to leave. I took them to the train station, and when I was leaving, my old classmate took my hand and said, "Brother, this time I really bothered you." We've taken your kindness to heart. Oh yes, and remember to look inside the drawer when you get back. With that, he smiled mysteriously.
I wondered what it meant in the drawer? Did he leave something for me? With a stomach full of questions, I went home. I couldn't wait to open the drawer and see that it was a letter and a thick red envelope!
I opened the letter, and the handwriting of my old classmate came into view: "Brother, thank you for your hospitality these days. We were all impressed. This red envelope is a share of the money made up by the four of us, which is a small reward for you. It's not a lot of money, but be sure to accept it. Our friendship is not measured by money, but I hope you can accept it. ”
Looking at the red envelope in my hand and the words on the letter, I was moved to tears. It turned out that my old classmate didn't want to take advantage of me or let me spend too much, on the contrary, he expressed his gratitude to me in this way and maintained the deep friendship between us.
I suddenly realized that what really matters in interpersonal interactions is not money, but the indescribable truth and trust. This experience made me cherish the deep friendship with my old classmates even more, and also made me understand the truth that friendship is priceless and sincerity is paramount.
Since then, every time I think back to this past, my heart warms. I have always cherished that red envelope and have not touched a penny, because I know that it is not only a sum of money, but also a priceless emotional sustenance and precious memory. And whenever I encounter difficulties and setbacks, I think of the firm and warm gaze of my old classmates, as if to say, "Brother, don't be afraid that I am here." "It gives me a sense of peace of mind and makes me more courageous in facing life's challenges.
Now we have entered middle and old age, but that innocent friendship and that precious memory will always remain in our hearts. Whenever I think of this past, I feel extremely fortunate and proud, because it is really a great happiness and wealth to meet such a close friend in my long life journey.
Therefore, dear friends, please cherish every friend around you! They are the most precious wealth in your life and the most solid backing on your way forward. No matter how the years change, no matter how twists and turns life is, as long as there is love, affection and friendship in the heart, then the world is still full of warmth and hope.
