Yesterday, I received a call from my mother-in-law. "Xiao Li, your cousin's son has been born, go buy some gifts to show it. Mother-in-law's voice came from the other end of the phone.
I frowned, a little embarrassed. My cousin's brother-in-law didn't like me very much since he was a child, and it can be said that the relationship between our two siblings is very bad, and he has never given me any gifts over the years, and now I feel very bad about letting him give him gifts. "Mother-in-law, you also know that I don't have a good relationship with my brother-in-law......" I tried to excuse myself.
"Okay, okay, when someone has a child, don't remember the old grudge. Go buy something, just give me the face of this old woman. The mother-in-law was kind and persuaded on the other end of the phone.
I wanted to find some more reason, but my mother-in-law had already hung up. I sighed helplessly, but I had to agree. Anyway, just buy some common baby products and spend some money to buy a clean one.
So I went to the nearby mall alone and came to the baby products section, and I was a little at a loss for a while. I walked around the front of the shelves, looking at all kinds of baby products, bottles, diapers, strollers, toys...... There is a wide variety.
I remember when I was a child, my brother-in-law often bullied me and snatched my toys, and when I went to complain, he would beat me. Once I rubbed the skin on my elbow, my brother-in-law saw it and deliberately touched my wound again, and I cried in pain. My uncle was reprimanded by his parents, but he still came to me from time to time for trouble.
Later, after going to school, my brother-in-law often spoke ill of me in front of my classmates and told my classmates my little secrets, which made me lose face in the class. Every time I have a birthday, my brother-in-law never gives me any gifts. In this way, our two siblings did not deal with each other until they grew up.
However, people change. We are all past the age of ignorance, and now that my uncle has a child of his own, maybe he will be much more mature than before. Maybe I should give him a fresh start and forget all the unhappiness of the past.
I picked up a delicate little music box that could hold some small toys and play music. This should be perfect for small babies. After much hesitation, I decided to buy this music box, hoping that my uncle would like it.
With the gift in hand, I came to my brother-in-law's house. After ringing the doorbell, the little uncle opened the door and saw that it was me, and his face was obviously stunned. "Oh, it's you. He said expressionlessly.
I smiled awkwardly and handed him the music box gift box: "Your son has just been born, I bought a small gift, congratulations." ”
The little uncle took the gift without even looking at it, said "thank you" lightly, and then closed the door.
I was a little sad, I wanted to break the ice with my brother-in-law, but he was still one
A look of indifference.
At this moment, my mother-in-law came over, saw the gift box in my hand, and said happily, "Xiao Li, did you buy a gift? Let me see what it is." ”
I showed the music box to my mother-in-law: "I specially chose this, it can put small toys in it, and it can also play music, so it should be suitable for small babies." ”
The mother-in-law smiled and nodded: "You chose well, you have a lot of heart." Uncle, take it apart and take a look. ”
The little uncle reluctantly opened the wrapper, and inside the box was a delicate little music box with cartoon patterns painted on it. The mother-in-law exclaimed: "This gift is so beautiful, it can be placed next to the baby's bed in the future, it's very fun." Uncle, what do you say, Xiao Li is so heartfelt, you have this attitude?"
The little uncle's face was slightly ugly, but he still whispered, "Thank you." ”
I saw that my brother-in-law was uncomfortable, and hurriedly said, "No thanks, we are all family." Your son has just been born, and I should send some heart. ”
My mother-in-law smiled and pulled me to the living room to sit down, and then went to the kitchen to pour me a glass of water. My brother-in-law and I sat awkwardly together, with nothing to say.
After a while, my mother-in-law also sat down, looked at the two of us and said, "I know that you didn't get along well since you were children, but now that you have grown up, you should forget about the unhappiness of the past." Your blood is thicker than water, and I watched you grow up, and I really don't want to see your relationship so stiff all the time. Uncle, did you say?"
The little uncle let out a sullen "um", and his face softened slightly.
The mother-in-law continued to persuade: "I know that you were all wrong when you were young, but now it is different, you have a family and have your own life. The most important thing is to live a good life, stop keeping old accounts. ”
I also said, "Mother-in-law is right, we shouldn't think about the past all day long, and be too obsessed with it." Uncle, let's start over and leave the past behind, do you think it's okay?"
The little uncle was silent for a while, and then sighed: "I also have something wrong, I did bully you before." We've all grown up, and it's time to forget about childishness. I had a bad attitude just now, I'm sorry. ”
I didn't expect my brother-in-law to apologize suddenly, and I was a little surprised for a while. The mother-in-law happily patted us on the shoulder: "Come, let's write off the past today, I invite you brothers and sisters to have a meal and catch up with the old days!"
So, we came to a restaurant near the community. The mother-in-law ordered a few good dishes and specially asked for two bottles of wine. My brother-in-law and I apologized for what had just happened and expressed our desire to start over.
After a few glasses of wine, the atmosphere gradually became lively. The little uncle spoke first: "I want to be."
I think back then, when the two of us were carefree children, we often played in the fields and by the river in our hometown. Do you remember that we used to climb up the old locust tree and pluck the green from the tree? ”
When I heard my brother-in-law mention the fun of our childhood, I couldn't help but smile slightly: "I still remember, you are small, and you can't reach the joy of high places, so I will climb to the top of the tree to help you pick it." We will also catch loaches by the river, and you will never catch them, so you will stomp your feet in anger. ”
"Haha, I really had a bad temper when I was a child, and I often made trouble unreasonably. Do you remember when I tore up your homework book and caused you to be punished by the teacher? The little uncle said with some shame.
"It's all gone, when we were young and didn't do a lot of things that were immature. Now that we all have our own families, let's stop talking about the troubles of the past. I laughed.
The little uncle raised his glass: "I toast you, I salute us from today onwards, no longer keep old accounts, and start all over again." ”
"Well, from today on, you and I are no longer childhood rivals, but brothers and sisters who are related by blood. This cup, toast our new beginning!" I also raised my glass and touched my brother-in-law's glass.
My mother-in-law watched us reconcile, with tears in her eyes, and said happily: "Good boy, my mother-in-law is happiest to see your brothers and sisters get along in harmony." I'm having a treat today, you can order it, and my mother-in-law promises to make you happy!"
So we had a hearty meal. After the meal, my brother-in-law offered to take me home. On the way, he said to me, "I really didn't expect you to remember so many things when we were children, it seems that in your heart, I am quite important." ”
I smiled and said, "After all, we grew up together, no matter how bad we used to deal with each other, and after so many years, how could I completely forget it." ”
When I was sent to the door, my brother-in-law said to me seriously, "I will treat you better in the future." Otherwise, we can get together regularly and bring our own families, and I'll treat you!"
"Okay, if we have a chance to go out for a meal as a family, or go on an outing, it's okay. I happily agreed.
Since then, my relationship with my brother-in-law has grown closer. My brother-in-law often brings his children to my house as guests, and we talk about interesting things when we were young, and watch the children play together. Every holiday, we also make an appointment for a meal.
The most precious friendship in the world is brotherhood. Although we did not have a good relationship when we were children, blood is thicker than water, and flesh and blood are connected by brothers and sisters
After all, it is to transcend the estrangement and restore the brotherhood.
One day, my brother-in-law came to me excitedly and said that he was going to take the whole family on a trip, so he left a plane ticket for me.
"This time our family went to Hainan for a vacation, you must come, I have already bought you a ticket. The beaches in Hainan are very beautiful, we can go swimming, sunbathing, and eating seafood. The little uncle said happily.
I smiled and nodded, "Then I'll definitely go." I'm so happy to be on vacation with your family. ”
In this way, our family flew to Hainan and stayed at a seaside resort. The turquoise sea and soft sand are refreshing. My brother-in-law's children were happily playing on the beach, while a few of us adults chatted and drank coconut water under the umbrellas.
"We haven't been out together in years, and it's getting more and more like a family. The mother-in-law said with a smile.
The brother-in-law's wife also said, "Yes, we should get together often, and you see how happy the children are." ”
"Then we will get together once a year in the future, and I will arrange time for everyone in advance. The little uncle said.
I smiled and nodded, "I'm already looking forward to next year's family trip." ”
When I got home, I couldn't help but think that the relationship between people needs to be cultivated slowly. Just like me and my brother-in-law, after the precipitation of time, the brotherhood between blood thicker than water has finally re-germinated. I think of a saying: "The most affectionate thing in the world is the love between family members." ”
Since then, we have been together every holiday. This year's Mid-Autumn Festival, everyone had a reunion dinner at my house again. The little uncle first toasted me with a glass of wine, and said with emotion: "I can't imagine that we have become brothers and sisters again, I am really grateful." ”
"Yes, only mutual understanding and tolerance between relatives can get to this point. "I'm also emotional.
"May we all be reunited forever and come home often!" Mother-in-law said.
"I respect this wish to live a long life!" The uncle raised his glass.
"I also respect this wish!" I raised my glass and touched everyone's glasses.
Looking at the sumptuous reunion dinner on the table and the smiling relatives, I felt happy in my heart. The most precious friendship in the world is the bond between relatives.
I will always cherish this hard-won brotherhood.
One day, I received a call from my boss saying that the company had been doing poorly recently and needed to lay off employees, and that I might be laid off. I immediately became nervous, work meant so much to me that I didn't know what to do.
I called my brother-in-law and confided in him about it. He calmly said to me: "Don't worry, the company's layoffs are not necessarily a bad thing." You can see this as a turning point, and maybe there will be better job opportunities waiting for you. If you are really laid off, you can come to my company, and I can arrange for you to come to my department, as long as you want. ”
My brother-in-law's words gave me a lot of support, and I said gratefully: "Thank you, I am much more relieved to have a brother like you." ”
"We are family, don't worry, I will help you no matter what. The little uncle said warmly.
Eventually, I was made redundant by the company. My brother-in-law immediately helped me negotiate a job in his company. I was very moved, and I really realized the value of brotherhood.
"Very good, thank you for giving me this opportunity. I'll work hard. I said.
"We're family, you don't need to be so polite to me. If you need anything, just ask. The uncle patted me on the shoulder.
I nodded, feeling that with a brother like my brother-in-law, I will not be alone in my life.
In this way, with the help of my brother-in-law, I quickly adapted to my new job. I also often go to my brother-in-law's house as a guest, eat and chat with his family, and enhance my relationship.
One day, my brother-in-law said to me, "I think we should organize regular family gatherings and invite my parents and other relatives to attend." This strengthens the bonds of all of us and gives the children an insight into the meaning of family relationships. What do you think of this idea?"
I readily agreed to my brother-in-law's suggestion. Since then, we have hosted a family gathering every month to eat, sing, dance, and play games with other loved ones, and the atmosphere is always lively. These gatherings brought everyone closer together and left warm memories for the children.
The brotherhood that my brother-in-law and I have re-established has brought the whole extended family closer together. This also made me deeply realize that family friendship, where blood is thicker than water, is the most precious relationship in the world.
I will always cherish this fate of recognizing my brother-in-law, and work with him to protect the reunion of our big family.
Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, my brother-in-law's child has already entered elementary school. Not long after school started, my brother-in-law called me in a somewhat anxious tone.
"Hey, I'm my brother-in-law. My son is in a bit of trouble at school, can you go to the school and meet the teacher?"
I heard my brother-in-law's nervousness and asked with concern, "What's wrong with your son?" ”
The brother-in-law explained that his son had an argument with a classmate at school, punched someone, and was accused of going to the teacher. He was on a business trip and couldn't go there in person, so he had to ask me to go to the school to find out.
I comforted my brother-in-law and said that he would go over immediately. After hanging up the phone, I immediately drove to my brother-in-law's son's school.
In the teacher's office, I saw the little brother-in-law's son hiding on the side, with tears on his face, my heart tightened, I walked over and squatted down to stroke his head, and asked softly, "Tell Auntie, what happened?"
The brother-in-law's son sobbed and said that it was his classmates who provoked him first, saying that his father was a bad person, and he hit the other party in a moment of anger. I comforted him softly, then asked the teacher to find out what had happened, and apologized on behalf of the younger brother-in-law.
After dealing with the matter, I drove my brother-in-law's son home, patiently persuading him along the way. When I got home, I called my brother-in-law back, told him what had happened, and said that I had apologized for his son.
The uncle said gratefully on the other end of the phone: "I really don't know how to thank you, if it weren't for your help, I wouldn't know what to do." I'm so lucky to have a sister like you here. ”
I smiled and said, "I'm happy to help you and your child." We are a family, you can come to me. ”
After a few days, my brother-in-law's job was transferred to my city. I warmly invited his family to my house for dinner to celebrate their move to their new home.
When my family arrived, my brother-in-law said happily, "I'm so glad to be able to move closer to you! ”
"Yes, we will be neighbors from now on, and we can come and go often. You can help each other with any need. I said with a smile.
"I feel most at ease to leave the child in your care, you are his dearest aunt. The little uncle said.
"That's natural, I'll treat him like my own child
