My cousin Xiaohong and I have had a good relationship since we were children, she is three years older than me and has a cheerful and generous personality. Xiaohong's family is good, and her clothes and shoes are used quickly, so she will give me what she can wear. I don't lack clothes, but I always smile and put them on to school.
"Xiao Guo, these clothes can still be worn, so I'll give them all to you. Another weekend, Xiaohong came to my house with a big bag, "I'm going to change into new clothes, and these old clothes are also taking up space, just for you to wear." ”
"Thank you, cousin!" I quickly took the bag and said with a smile.
Xiaohong sat down at my house, and I was busy taking out my clothes one by one. It is indeed some brand goods, and the style is okay.
"I see you're still wearing the same clothes, it's time to get new clothes, right?" Little Red looked around my room, "Why don't you buy you something new?"
"No, no, I'm quite satisfied with my current clothes. I said shyly.
"Okay, don't know how to read all day long, go around more, meet some friends, and it will be useful when you work in the future. "Little Red preached to me as always.
"By the way, are you doing your job?" I said hello.
"It's okay, I'm busy, but I'm also gaining experience. Xiaohong said, "By the way, have you taken the driver's license?"
"Not yet, I haven't considered buying a car yet. I said.
"Hmph, don't keep thinking about reading, what's the use of reading so many books!" Xiaohong said disdainfully.
I know she has a straightforward personality, so I don't care what she says. After small talk, Xiaohong took her leave.
A month later, Xiaohong came to visit again, carrying a large bag.
"This time I have clothes for you again, and a few pairs of shoes. She shoved the bag into my arms.
"Huh, new clothes so soon?" I was a little surprised.
"Yes, I'm tired of wearing the clothes I bought last time, so I'll give them all to you, and I've already bought a batch of new clothes and shoes. Xiaohong said as a matter of course.
I was a little embarrassed, and said with a smile: "Actually, I still have enough clothes to wear, so I won't need it this time." ”
"You just take it, I don't lack a place to put it. Xiaohong shoved the bag into my arms and sat down without saying a word.
I had to take out the clothes and look at them, they were still some brand-name goods, and the quality was good.
"By the way, are you doing well?" I tried to change the subject.
"It's okay, I'm busy, but I'm working hard and hopefully I'm getting a promotion and a raise as soon as possible. Xiaohong said, "By the way, have you found a job?"
"Well, I got a programming job, and although I just joined the company, I have good prospects. I said.
"Hmph, I read so many books and found a job like this?" Xiaohong said disapprerovingly, "If you want me to say, you better go out and wander more, don't stay in the stacks of books all the time." ”
I smiled and didn't take her words to heart. In the small talk, I inadvertently mentioned that the company issued a year-end bonus, and I saved some money to buy a second-hand car.
"What? You bought a car?" Xiaohong's eyes widened, and her face changed significantly.
"Yes, the company's year-end bonus is good, so I bought a second-hand car to facilitate commuting. I explained.
"Hmph, it's just a fluke!" Xiaohong snorted coldly.
I was a little embarrassed and quickly changed the subject, but Xiaohong's face was obviously wrong, and I quickly found an excuse to leave.
A month later, Xiaohong came to see me again with a bag, still displeased.
"I'll throw away these clothes and shoes for you again, so take them. She said in a stiff tone.
"I don't need it this time, I can't fit in my closet. I smiled wryly and refused.
"What's the matter, you just take it!" Little Red still forcefully shoved the bag into my arms.
I reluctantly took it, opened it and saw that it was really some valuable designer clothes.
"By the way, I heard you still bought a house?" Xiaohong asked with a frown.
"Well, I bought a second-hand house, the location is good, and it is convenient to get married in the future. I explained.
"I think you're pretending!" Xiaohong's face sank, and her tone became sharp.
I was dumbfounded, not understanding why she reacted so much. "Isn't it all based on your own hard work, it's normal to buy something. ”
"I think you're pretending!" Xiaohong's face sank, and her tone became sharp, "You don't want to think about it, you just made some money by luck, so you dare to buy a car and a house, you really think of yourself as a great person!"
I was surprised that Xiaohong's reaction was so intense: "Xiaohong, I didn't pretend to be forced, this is all my own hard work and earning money, it's normal to buy something." I'm not as rich as yours. ”
"I see that you are deliberately showing off in front of me, do you think I don't know your thoughts?" Xiaohong stood up and said angrily, "I don't look down on people like you!"
With that, she threw the door away, leaving me stunned.
A month later, not only did Xiaohong not send her clothes as usual, but when I called her, she didn't answer. I wondered, could it be that she hated me so much because I bought a car and a house?
After a week, I took the initiative to go to Xiaohong's company to look for her, and happened to meet her off work.
"Xiaohong, why haven't you answered my phone recently?" I stepped forward to stop her.
"What are you going to do?" Her face sank, "I'm busy with work, so I don't have time to chat with you." ”
"Xiaohong, what's wrong with you? Is it that I made you unhappy by buying a car and a house?" I asked directly about the doubts in my heart.
"You're embarrassed to say it!" Xiaohong glared at me angrily, "I think you are deliberately here to show off, you think you are amazing!"
"Xiaohong, why do you look down on me so much?" I was very sad, "I bought everything with my own hard work, and I didn't want to show it off to you, why are you so angry?"
"Cut, I don't like you!" Xiaohong sneered, "I'll tell you, don't bother me again!"
After saying that, she shook her hand and left, leaving me standing where I was, puzzled.
When I got home, I thought about it. I didn't deliberately show anything in front of Xiaohong, I just slipped my mouth. She reacted so much that she seemed to resent my progress. I remembered that she often said that she was very busy and tired at work recently, and it was estimated that the work was not going well, and I felt inferior when I bought a car and a house.
After much thought, I decided to talk to Xiaohong. So one weekend, I went to her house and rang the doorbell to call her out.
"What are you going to do?" Xiaohong's face is very ugly.
"Xiaohong, let's have a good talk, don't be so reluctant. I persuaded.
"What are you talking about? I don't have time!" Xiaohong said impatiently.
"Xiaohong, I know that you have been very busy and tired at work recently, maybe I bought a car and a house to make you feel inferior. But I really don't mean to show off, it's all about making money from my hard work. You shouldn't look down on me like that. I said sincerely.
Xiaohong was silent, and her face softened: "I don't have inferiority! I think you came to show off on purpose!"
"Xiaohong, don't always be so superior. I looked at her earnestly, "I know you're straightforward, but you can't just target me just because you're not going well." I don't look down on you, and you shouldn't resent me just because I bought something. ”
Little Red blushed and lowered her head and remained silent.
I continued: "We've had a good relationship since we were kids, don't always treat me like a child who needs to be taken care of, I'm growing up on my own now. You should be happy for me, not angry. ”
Xiaohong said sullenly: "It's not that I mean to target you, it's just that when I see you buying a car and a house, I think you are amazing, and I feel unhappy." ”
"Silly girl, what's so upset, I'm not comparing myself to you. I smiled and said, "Besides, I'm three years younger than you, you're my cousin, and I'll always see you as my senior." Even if I buy a car and a house, I will still be your brother in front of you. ”
Xiaohong finally smiled: "Also, I think too much, you're right, I shouldn't be like this." It's just that I'm very annoyed by my own work, and as soon as you buy a car and a house, I feel like a failure and can't help but lose my temper. But I shouldn't have done that to you, I'm sorry. ”
"It's okay, don't take it to heart. I patted her on the shoulder, "I understand your feelings, I just don't think you should be so superior and hostile to me." The most important thing is that we are reconciled. ”
"Well, I was wrong. Xiaohong nodded, "I'll pay attention to it in the future, and I won't target you like this again." We're still friends as we used to be. ”
"No problem, I hope we can always be best friends. I laughed.
Since then, Xiaohong's attitude towards me has finally returned to normal. She no longer has a sense of superiority and is no longer hostile to what I bought. Our relationship has become intimate again. I also learned not to compare myself with material things, and to cherish my sincere friendship with Xiaohong.
One weekend, Xiaohong came to me excitedly and said that she wanted to surprise me.
"Guess what's in store for you?" She said mysteriously.
"What's this good stuff?" I asked curiously.
"See for yourself!" Little Red grinned and handed me a gift box.
I opened it and it was a pair of limited-edition sneakers, and I was surprised and said, "These sneakers are very expensive, how could you give me such a gift?"
"Haha, it's not expensive, I saw that your sneakers were worn out, so I bought a new pair of sneakers for you. Xiaohong said happily, "This is an expression of my apologies and a gift to celebrate the repair of our relationship." ”
"You don't have to, our friendship is more precious than any gift. "I'm a little embarrassed.
"Take it, it's my heart's content. Little Red stuffed the gift box into my arms.
I accepted the gift with a smile, and we talked about interesting things in our daily life, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.
"By the way, I heard you've been working out lately?" Xiaohong asked in small talk.
"Yes, I go to the gym to work out after work. I said.
"Then your figure must have improved, do you want to show your sister muscles?" Xiaohong said with a smile.
"I don't have any muscles!" I'm embarrassed to say.
"Come on, come on, show me progress. Xiaohong coaxed.
"Oh well. I smiled and rolled up my sleeves and showed her the muscles in her arms.
"Well, it's not bad, keep up the good work!" Little Red smiled and encouraged me.
I am happy to think that with such a good friend as Xiaohong, life is becoming more and more fulfilling and meaningful.
Since then, Xiaohong will often come to the house as a guest, bring me the food she cooks, we eat and chat together, catch up, and the atmosphere is always lively.
I also visit Xiaohong after work, and although she is busy with work, her attitude has become very positive. I believe that with her hard work, her career will be more and more successful.
Now that we are no longer comparing ourselves with material things, but genuinely supporting each other, this friendship has become more precious.
One day, Xiaohong came to me in a hurry and said that she had good news for me.
"Guess what good news I'm going to say!" She smiled mysteriously.
"Let me guess, you got a job promotion and a raise?" I asked with a smile.
"No, I finally have a boyfriend!" Xiaohong said shyly.
"Really, tell me what kind of boy it is!" I asked in surprise.
Little Red blushed and told me about her new boyfriend, and I could tell she was happy. I'm really happy for her.
"Great, you've found the right partner, I'm very happy for you!" I said with a smile.
"Thanks to you, I've changed a lot to meet him. Xiaohong said gratefully.
"Haha, don't thank me, it's all your own credit. I said happily.
We excitedly discussed her wedding, and Red said that she had to be her best man. I excitedly agreed.
After a while, Xiaohong asked me out, looking a little hesitant.
"What's wrong, you seem to have something on your mind?" I asked with concern.
"I want to discuss something with you. Xiaohong said, "My boyfriend's family is good, he wants to buy a house, and he wants me to pay for it." ”
I nodded knowingly, "I understand, you have to start planning your future life." But I don't think you're in a hurry to buy a house just after you're together. ”
"I thought so too. Xiaohong said, "But if he wants me to pay, I'm a little embarrassed." What do you think I'm going to do?"
"I don't think you have to be forced by his demands. I earnestly advised, "You should understand each other and build trust, not threaten each other with material conditions." ”
Xiaohong nodded: "You're right, I'll think about it again." With you as a friend, I am truly content. ”
I smiled and patted her on the shoulder: "You can discuss any difficulties with me, friends are used to help each other." ”
Since then, Little Red has been on me
