My name is Wang Xiaoming, I am 26 years old, and I am the only owner of a small store in the village. Since I was a child, I grew up with Pengfei, an orphan in the village, and we have been good friends for many years.
I remember that winter, Peng Fei had just turned 18 years old, and according to the rules of the village, he was about to leave the orphanage and find a place to live on his own. I saw that he was alone outside and had nowhere to go, so I took the initiative to invite him to come to my house for a while. My mother loved him so much that she agreed to let him stay with us.
"Pengfei, you can stay in my house for the time being, anyway, I am alone in our family, and you won't have any burden when you come. I said to him.
"Xiao Ming, I'm really sorry to trouble you. I don't have much ability, and I will definitely repay you well in the future. Peng Fei said a little shyly.
"Oh, you're welcome, you're part of our family. You can live here and wait until you find a job and make money, and then slowly pay us back. My mom said with a smile.
Since that day, Pengfei has been living in our house. He is very sensible, he helps with household chores every day and also helps me take care of the commissary. We are almost inseparable, like brothers.
One day, I noticed that something was wrong with Pengfei lately. He was always in a trance, alone in the corner in a daze. I asked him worriedly, "Pengfei, why have you been like this all the time lately, is there something uncomfortable?"
Peng Fei was silent for a while before he whispered, "Xiao Ming, in fact, I've been thinking about one thing. I'm 18 years old and I'm not an orphan anymore. But I don't even have the ability to live on my own, and you have always taken care of me. I really appreciate you guys, but I always feel useless and dependent on others. "
Hearing Pengfei's words, I felt sad for a while. I know he's always had low self-esteem and feels like a burden. I quickly shook his hand and said seriously, "Pengfei, why do you think that? You are my best friend and a member of our family. We love you very much, so you can live here and don't feel like a burden all the time. In the future, you will definitely find your way, and then we will talk about repayment!"
"Xiao Ming, you are so good. If you hadn't been taking care of me, I don't know what would have become of me now. I will definitely study hard, and I will definitely make you proud when I grow up. Peng Fei's eyes were slightly red, and he said softly.
When I heard Pengfei's words, I was deeply moved. In this way, we encourage each other to work together for the future.
In the days that followed, I could clearly feel that Pengfei had become more proactive. He wakes up early every day to help with household chores, and also takes the initiative to learn some maintenance skills, hoping to find a stable job in the future. I also always encourage him and tell him that as long as he is willing to work hard, he will definitely find his own way.
One day, I was busy in the commissary when I suddenly saw Peng Fei come in with a toolbox.
"Xiao Ming, I just heard that the refrigerator of Lao Li's house next door is broken, I went over to help him see if it can be repaired. Peng Fei said to me excitedly.
"Okay, you can try it, it would be nice if it could be fixed. I nodded with satisfaction.
After a while, Peng Fei came back with a smug expression.
Lao Li was very happy and gave me 50 yuan. You say, I'm making money now, right?" Peng Fei said to me excitedly.
"Great, Pengfei! I knew you could do it. Now you have your own income, and you can slowly save money and accumulate some savings in the future. I happily patted him on the shoulder.
Since then, Pengfei has often taken the initiative to help people in the village repair some simple electrical appliances and earn some extra money. I watched him accumulate little by little, and I was proud of him.
After another while, one day I was busy in the commissary when I suddenly saw Pengfei running in in a hurry.
"Xiao Ming, when I was walking by the river just now, I noticed that a man had fallen into the river! I quickly ran over and pulled him ashore, and now he doesn't seem to have woken up. What should I do?" Peng Fei said anxiously.
I hurriedly followed Pengfei to the river. I saw a middle-aged man lying on the shore, soaking wet, apparently just rescued from the river. I immediately went up to check and found that he was still breathing, but seemed to be unconscious.
"Hurry up and carry him home, we need to help him change his clothes first. I said to Pengfei.
We carefully carried the man to my house and helped him change into clean clothes. After a while, the man finally opened his eyes slowly.
"What's going on? Where am I?" He asked weakly.
"You just fell down by the river, and it was our friend Peng Fei who rescued you. You're in my house now. I explained softly.
"Oh, that's right. Thank you so much, if it weren't for you, I would probably be buried at the bottom of the river. The man said gratefully.
"No thanks, we're glad we could help you. How are you feeling now, do you need to call a doctor?" I asked with concern.
"I'm fine, I'm just chilling. Can you give me some hot tea?" The man said.
Peng Fei immediately went to make a cup of hot tea and handed it to the man. After the man drank it, his face looked a lot better.
"You are such kind people, if I hadn't met you, I would have died at the bottom of the river. My name is Li Si, and I am an ordinary farmer in this village. Today I was walking by the river and accidentally fell in, but fortunately you saved me in time. Li Si said gratefully.
"Fourth Uncle Li, you're welcome. My name is Wang Xiaoming, and this is my friend Peng Fei. We're just doing our best, but don't take it personally. I laughed.
"Xiao Ming, Pengfei, you guys are really good. I must thank you very much. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be alive. Li Si said excitedly.
Pengfei and I looked at each other and smiled, feeling that we had done something to be proud of. We didn't go out of our way to help Li Si, but just did our duty as an ordinary person. Looking at Li Si's grateful appearance, I was sincerely happy for myself and Pengfei.
From that day on, Li Si would often come to our house as a guest. He is always grateful for our help and rescue. Sometimes he would bring some fresh fruits and vegetables, and sometimes he would help us with some household chores. Pengfei and I gradually established a deep friendship with him.
One day, Li Si suddenly said to me and Pengfei: "Xiao Ming, Pengfei, I have something I want to discuss with you. "
"Uncle Li, you said, we are all listening. I asked curiously.
"Actually, I've been thinking about one thing lately. I now live alone in the village and have no children. I heard that you adopted Pengfei before, and I think you are really good people. So I'm wondering if I should give you my house and some belongings, so that Pengfei can have a place to live in the future. Li Si said sincerely.
Peng Fei and I were stunned, we didn't expect Li Si to make such a proposal.
"Uncle Li, how can this be done? You are so grateful to us for doing this. We're just doing our best, and you don't have to repay us at all. I hastened to say.
"Xiao Ming, I know that you helped me out of kindness. But I really want to do that, and give these to you. I am really touched that you have taken care of Pengfei for so many years. This is also a wish for me, and I hope to make you feel more at peace. Li Si insisted.
Hearing Li Si's words, I had mixed feelings in my heart. I know he meant it, but I also felt it was too much.
"Uncle Li, you are too polite. We help you, as you should, you don't have to. We're just doing a little bit of our best, and you're going to have to take it back. I said sincerely.
"Xiao Ming, you don't have to be polite. I've made up my mind, and I want to give it to you. I am really grateful that you have taken care of Pengfei for so many years. This is a little bit of my heart, and I hope you will accept it. Li Si insisted.
Looking at Li Si's sincere eyes, I sighed, and finally could only nod in agreement.
"Since you say so, then we are grateful to accept your kindness. I will take good care of these, so that Pengfei can live and work in peace and contentment in the future. I said seriously.
"Great! I'm relieved now. I will immediately go to a lawyer and get everything done. Enjoy it all in the future. Li Si said happily.
Soon after, Li Si's house and some family property were indeed given to us. We also handed over all of this to Pengfei according to his wishes.
"Pengfei, these are all given to you by Uncle Li. He really appreciates your help over the years and so gives you all of this. I said to Pengfei.
"What? How is this possible? How could Uncle Li do this?" Peng Fei said in surprise.
"Uncle Li has always been a kind person, and he really appreciates your dedication to us over the years. He hopes that this will help you have a stable life in the future. I patiently explained.
"But I really don't know what to do. It's too much for me. Peng Fei said.
"Pengfei, Uncle Li did this out of sincerity. Just accept it, it's all yours from now on. You don't have to worry too much, I'll always be there for you and help you make the most of it. I said encouragingly.
"Xiao Ming, you guys are really good. I really don't know how to thank it. I will definitely make good use of these, and I will not disappoint Uncle Li. Peng Fei said gratefully.
Since then, Pengfei's life has changed dramatically. He finally has his own house and some savings, and no longer needs to rely on others to live. I watched him gradually become self-reliant, and I felt sincerely happy and proud in my heart.
One day, I came back from the commissary and found Pengfei busy at home.
"Pengfei, what are you doing?" I asked curiously.
"Xiao Ming, I'm cleaning my room, and I'm going to invite Uncle Li to my house tomorrow. Peng Fei said excitedly.
"Oh, that's right. Uncle Li will be very happy. It's great that you're doing that. I said approvingly.
I looked at Pengfei's busy figure, and my heart was full of emotion. We grew up together and went through many ups and downs. Now I feel sincerely proud and happy to see that Pengfei finally has its own career and life.
The next day, Peng Fei and I greeted Uncle Li, who was a guest. Seeing Li Si's arrival, Peng Fei greeted him warmly.
"Uncle Li, you are welcome to come to my house. Please come in, I've got a sumptuous dinner ready. Peng Fei said enthusiastically.
"Oh, Pengfei, you're so kind. It's an honor to be here with you. Li Si said with a smile.
The three of us sat down together at Pengfei's house, chatting over a sumptuous dinner.
"Uncle Li, we are so happy that you are here today. I've just heard that you're not feeling well lately, and I hope you'll get some rest here. I said with concern.
"Oh, it's not a big deal. I've been getting older lately, and I do have some minor physical problems. But you two guys take care of me, and I feel better. Li Si said with a smile.
"Uncle Li, we will never forget your help to us. You've given me so much and I really don't know how to repay you. Peng Fei said sincerely.
"Pengfei, you don't have to take it too seriously. I gave you these things voluntarily, just enjoy them. I can see that you're on your own now, and that's the biggest reward for me. Li Si said kindly.
I watched the interaction between the two of them, and I felt extra warm inside. Li Si has always been a kind and generous person, and it is really admirable that he helps others without reservation. And Pengfei has finally found his own direction in life, no longer having low self-esteem and relying on others, which makes me sincerely proud of him.
"Uncle Li, we will definitely cherish everything you have given us. We will never forget your kindness. I say sincerely.
After a hearty dinner, the three of us chatted late into the night. During this period, Li Si also took out some old photos of him when he was young and shared the past with us. Looking at Li Si's kind smile, I felt the tolerance and wisdom that the years had bestowed upon him.
When parting, Li Si once again told us to take good care of ourselves. Before leaving, he also took out a delicate box and handed it to Peng Fei.
"Pengfei, this is what I made for you a few days ago. I want to give you something memorable that I hope you will cherish. Li Si said.
Peng Fei cautiously opened the box and saw a beautiful necklace inside. The necklace is set with a sparkling diamond, which is particularly beautiful.
"This is my heart, you can take it. Wear it well in the future and stop feeling like a burden. Li Si said pitifully.
Seeing Li Si leave, I looked at Peng Fei's hand holding the necklace tightly, and felt very relieved in my heart. For so many years, Pengfei has been insecure and has low self-esteem. But now, with the help of Li Si, he has finally found his own life and regained his self-confidence.
"Xiao Ming, I really don't know how to thank Uncle Li. If it weren't for him, I might still have low self-esteem and dependence on others. Now that I have my own house and life, I don't have to worry about the future anymore. Peng Fei said gratefully.
"Pengfei, I am sincerely happy that you can have such growth as you have now. Uncle Li has always been a kind and generous person, he can see the kindness and potential in your heart, so he will help you like this. You have to cherish it all. I said comfortingly.
"I will, Xiao Ming. I will definitely make Uncle Li and you proud. I'm going to work hard and manage these things well to make myself a better life. Peng Fei said solemnly.
In the days since, I have watched Pengfei grow little by little, and I feel extremely gratified in my heart. Not only did he run his own house well, but he also learned some maintenance techniques and became a recognized "electrical maintenance expert" in the village. He made money with his own hands, and finally stopped feeling inferior to himself.
One day, I was busy in the commissary when I suddenly saw Pengfei running in in a hurry.
When I heard the news, my heart instantly sank. The kind-hearted Li Si passed away like this, and I feel very sad.
"How so, what the hell is going on?" I asked anxiously.
"I just went to visit Uncle Li and found him lying on the ground at home, no longer breathing. The doctor said that he died suddenly because of a heart attack. Peng Fei said with red eyes.
"Xiao Ming, I'm really sad. If Uncle Li hadn't taken me in at the beginning, I'm afraid I would still be living a wandering life. I will never be able to repay him for his kindness to me. Peng Fei said in a choked voice.
Looking at Pengfei's sad appearance, I couldn't help but shed tears. We are all deeply grateful to Li Si and thank him for his selfless help. We are deeply saddened by his passing, but we will always remember his kindness and love.
