My cousin Xiaohong and I grew up together and can be said to be inseparable. Our two families live on the same old street, my house is in the east and her house is in the west, only a dozen families apart. When we were young, we often ran around and played together while our parents weren't paying attention. I remember one time, we climbed on the big jujube tree behind my house to play, who knew that there was a big honeycomb on the jujube tree, and the bees suddenly flew out to surround us, and the two of us were so frightened that we jumped down, and then we were stung by the bees for several bags. These memories are still fresh in my mind.
Now, years later, we're all grown up, but we're still in touch a lot. Last Friday, Xiaohong called me suddenly, and her tone was a little anxious: "Cousin, do you have time now? Can you do me a favor, I need you to buy 100 catties of rice this afternoon and send it to my house." I'll pay you back. ”
I was a little surprised and asked her, "Don't you already have a lot of rice in stock, why do you suddenly have to buy so much?"
Xiaohong explained on the other end of the phone: "I plan to get married next month, and I need rice to entertain guests. But the rice stored at home is not enough, so I need to buy some more. Cousin, you can do me this favor, and congratulate me!"
Seeing her eagerness, I was embarrassed to refuse: "Okay, then I'll go buy rice, and I'll buy it at noon and send it to you." ”
After hanging up the phone, I rode to the rice shop in town. The owner of the rice shop, surnamed Chen, has been in business for decades and is known for being honest and reliable. I told Lao Chen that I needed to buy 100 catties of rice, and Lao Chen said with a smile: "Yo, so much rice, it seems that I am going to have a happy event!" I also joked with him that it was rice for my cousin's marriage. Lao Chen quickly weighed 100 catties of high-quality rice for me and packed it in several big bags. After I settled the bill, I carried the rice to Xiaohong's house.
Xiaohong's house was not far from my house, and soon I came to her door with a heavy bag of rice. Just about to knock on the door, the door suddenly opened from the inside, Xiaohong stood inside the door, and said with a somewhat impatient expression: "Why did you arrive? Just put the rice at the door, I have something to do, and I don't have time to talk to you." ”
I was a little surprised, put the rice on the ground, and said, "Xiaohong, what's wrong with you?
Xiaohong frowned and said, "I'm very busy now, I don't have time to talk nonsense with you."
I was amazed by Red's attitude, and I couldn't understand why she had suddenly become so cold and rude.
"Xiaohong, what's wrong with you? I'm your cousin, I really don't understand that you suddenly lost such a big temper with me. Just tell me, what did I do to upset you?" I tried to reason with her.
Xiaohong said impatiently: "I said that I am very busy now, and I don't have time to explain to you." You just think I've been too stressed lately, I'm in a bad mood, and I can't talk to you properly. You should do me a favor, put the rice here, and then go. ”
"No way!" I raised my voice, "Just because you're stressed, can you be so vexatious? I spent so much money to buy rice to help you, and you didn't even say a decent thank you, you just coldly drove me away, how can this make me just listen to you and leave?"
Xiaohong's face became even more ugly: "Cousin, I'll give you one last chance, put down the rice and leave immediately, otherwise we won't have anything to do with it!"
I was enraged by her words, and my emotions began to spiral out of control: "Okay, since you say so, then we really don't have anything to do with each other! I must find out what is wrong with you today, and suddenly treat me like an enemy!"
With that, I forced my way through the door of Xiaohong's house. Red tried to stop me, but she couldn't match me. I threw the big bag of rice into the house, and turned around to look for Xiaohong's theory.
"Explain what? Explain why you suddenly turned your face ruthlessly, I paid you to do things for you, and you did this to me, what else do you have to explain?" I said angrily.
"I don't need to listen to any explanation from you!" I interrupted her, "In the future, you and I will be cleared, and there will be no more contact!"
After saying this, I picked up the rice bag on the ground and walked out without looking back. Xiaohong shouted behind me: "Cousin, listen to my explanation, things are not like this, please don't go!"
I turned a deaf ear and walked out with the heavy rice. As soon as I walked to the door, Xiaohong suddenly hugged me from behind and cried: "Cousin, I was wrong, cousin, I really know that I was wrong, you can forgive me this time!" Xiaohong hugged me and cried bitterly.
I was so shocked by her sudden move that I stood still, but I couldn't help but relented and asked her, "What's wrong with you? You were so fierce to me just now, and now you're begging me for forgiveness, what tricks are you playing?"
Xiaohong sobbed and said, "Cousin, I was so fierce to you before, because I encountered great difficulties, and I didn't want you to see it, so I lost my temper with you and wanted to drive you away." I really know it's wrong, so don't go, and let me apologize to you. ”
I was still very angry: "I spent money to buy rice for you, but you treated me like this, how can I forgive you? What difficulties did you encounter? Tell you the truth!"
When she said that, most of my anger subsided. I sighed: "Since that's the reason, shouldn't you lose your temper with me, just explain the situation to me? ”
Xiaohong nodded and said, "I know I shouldn't lose my temper with you, and I shouldn't hide my difficulties from you." I just have too much self-esteem to let you see me like this. Cousin, I really know it's wrong, you're a lot of adults, don't go, okay?"
Seeing that she sincerely confessed her mistake to me, my temper also disappeared, and I said, "Okay, okay, I'm not leaving." Why are you embarrassed to go? I'm going to put the rice bag down and we'll have a good talk. ”
Xiaohong said happily: "Thank you so much, cousin! I promise that I will never lose my temper with you again." ”
I put the rice bag in the house, sat down with Xiaohong, and asked her to tell me all the difficulties she was experiencing. She told me about the breakup and the financial dilemma.
I comforted Xiaohong and said, "Marriage is not the whole of life, and you don't have to be too sad if you break up." You are still young and you will meet better people in the future. The financial difficulties are only temporary, and I will fully support you through them. ”
Xiaohong was so moved that tears flowed down again: "Cousin, I really thank you so much." Originally, I was so fierce to you, and you had every reason to leave, but you still forgave me, and you were even willing to help me through the difficulties, I was so touched. ”
I patted her on the shoulder and said, "We are a family, and I should help you when you are in trouble." I've gotten rid of my previous anger, so don't blame yourself anymore and think about how to get through this. ”
Xiaohong wiped away her tears, nodded and said, "I will find a way to do some odd jobs and pay off the debts I owe first." Maybe I can sell some of the things I want to get ready for my wedding, and it's a new beginning for me as well. Cousin, can you help me figure out how much money I need to pay back?"
I took out a pen and paper and worked with Xiaohong to calculate her current debt. Including prepaid wedding venue fees, catering expenses, wedding dresses and dresses, etc., adding up to nearly 50,000 yuan. I was also shocked when I saw this amount, and comforted her: "Don't worry, 50,000 yuan is not a small amount, we can pay it back slowly." The money you earn from your part-time job will be used to live first, and I can help you pay off part of your debts first. ”
Xiaohong hurriedly said, "Cousin, how can this be done, I can't trouble you anymore." I'll find a way to pay it off myself, and you've already helped me so much. ”
I waved my hand and said, "With me here, you don't have to worry about money." I still have some savings on hand, so I'll help you pay 20,000 yuan first, and you can pay back the rest slowly. I'm sure you'll get through this. ”
"Cousin, how can I thank you? Xiaohong shed tears of emotion again.
I smiled and said to her, "I'm glad I could help you." Don't say these words of thanks, how can I, as an elder brother, stand by and watch the difficulties encountered by my sister? Let's plan your life and work well, and I believe that we will be able to get out of the predicament soon. ”
Xiaohong nodded vigorously, and a smile reappeared on her face. I am also a lot more steady, although Xiaohong has entered a low point in life, but I believe that with our solidarity and mutual assistance, she will be able to move towards happiness again. The brotherhood of blood thicker than water finally overcame a momentary misunderstanding.
Our brother and sister were next to each other, and we carefully worked out Xiaohong's future life plan. I repeatedly told Xiaohong that if she encounters any difficulties, she must discuss them with me in time, and she can't carry them by herself anymore.
I said with satisfaction, "Then I'm relieved." With me here, you don't have to hide from me anymore and take the pressure. Let's take it one step at a time and solve the most pressing economic problems first. ”
"Okay cousin, I'll do as you say. By the way, I still have some wedding items here, such as dresses, accessories, etc., do you think I should return them or resell them to pay off my debts?" Little Red asked for my opinion.
I thought about it and said, "You can return everything that can be returned first, and for those that can't be returned, we will consider reselling." But don't rush, take your time, and make sure you live first. ”
Xiaohong nodded and said, "I understand, I'll return everything that can be returned." By the way, cousin, can you help me see what is suitable for resale, I don't know much about this. ”
"Okay, you take out all the things, let's take a look at them together. I said.
Xiaohong got up and took out the clothes, shoes, bags and other items in the box. I helped her pick out some items that were of higher value and good care and suggested that she should consider reselling them online. As for the items that are of little use value, I suggest that she dispose of them so as not to take up space.
Xiaohong listened to my analysis and took notes. I saw that she was serious, and I was much more relieved.
"Thank you so much, cousin. I'm sure I can't handle these things alone, and I'm relieved to have you. Xiaohong said gratefully.
I waved my hand and said, "That's what I'm supposed to do." You also have to learn to judge for yourself, and be more independent in the future without me. ”
"I see, cousin. I'm definitely going to become more independent and don't always depend on you. Xiaohong nodded solemnly.
I smiled and said, "Okay, I'm sure you can do it." My brother and sister will be able to get through this together. ”
Xiaohong smiled as well. As I watched her regain her confidence, hope rose in my heart.
After this incident, my relationship with Xiaohong has become closer than before. Xiaohong has also become more and more independent, and often takes the initiative to discuss her plans with me.
One day, Xiaohong came to me and said happily, "Cousin, I have good news for you! Last week I went to interview for a sales job at a clothing store, and today the store manager called and said that I was accepted!"
I happily said, "That's great news! Congratulations on finding a job." Do you think this job is right for you?"
Xiaohong said happily: "It's very suitable! I have loved fashion since I was a child, and the style of this clothing store is also very much in line with my taste." The store manager is also very nice and said that he will train me comprehensively. I think I'll learn a lot from this job!"
"That's great! With this job, your life will get better and better. "I'm really happy for Little Red.
Xiaohong nodded and said, "I will work hard and strive to become an excellent employee in the store as soon as possible." It will also allow me to pay off my debts sooner rather than later. ”
I hurriedly said, "Don't always think about paying me back, the most important thing is to make your life better." You're a sister, so it's right for me to help. ”
"Cousin, thank you for taking care of me all the time. Xiaohong said movingly, "Don't worry, I will definitely plan my life and work well, and I will work hard to pay off my debts, and I can't always rely on you." ”
I smiled and nodded, "I'm glad you're doing this." I'm sure you will. If you encounter any difficulties, please let me know in time. ”
"Got it, cousin, I feel so happy to have you care so much about me. Xiaohong said happily.
Time flies by, and in a blink of an eye, Xiaohong has been working in this clothing store for two months. Her life has also become more regular, and her financial situation has improved considerably.
I took the envelope and counted it with her, and after deducting everything, Xiaohong had an income of 2,000 yuan a month.
"Great! With a stable income, your life will get better and better. "I'm really proud of Little Red.
We excitedly discussed Xiaohong's future plans. I also felt once again that as long as a person is willing to work hard, he will definitely be able to change his fate.
