My name is Zhang Dawei, I am 38 years old, and I am a mechanic in a small factory in my hometown. I have an older brother, Zhang Dayong, who is five years older than me. Since childhood, we have been like brothers and sisters, and our relationship is very good.
Our family lives in an ordinary small county town in the county. His father, Zhang Fuhai, was an honest farmer, hardworking and simple, and was deeply loved by the villagers. Sadly, my mother died of illness when we were very young. But we have a very good grandmother, Zhang Yuzhen, who is a very assertive and tough old lady. Grandma basically took care of the daily life of our two brothers, and she taught us a lot of life lessons.
What I remember the most is the days before my grandmother died. About two months ago, my grandmother's health began to deteriorate. At first, it was just a few minor problems, but it quickly became too serious to happen. One day, my grandmother suddenly began to cough violently, and even coughed up blood. My brother and I were terrified and rushed her to the county hospital.
"Don't worry too much, kids. Grandma lay on the hospital bed and said weakly, "Grandma, my old bones have suffered enough, if there is really a case, you must take care of each other." "
"Milk, don't say that. My eyes were red, "It's important for you to take care of your body, and we'll just worry about the rest." "
"Dayong, you have to take care of your brother-in-law and nephews for me. Grandma looked at my brother and said, "Dawei, you just listen to your brother honestly, don't make trouble for him." "
"Milk, don't worry, with your brother here, you don't have to worry about anything like a baby. My brother shook his grandmother's hand with a look of determination on his face.
On the day my grandmother died, both of us and I cried so much that we almost lost our minds. Grandma is one of the most important loved ones in our lives, and her passing has undoubtedly dealt us a heavy blow. We were so sad in our hearts, but we had to start planning for the aftermath as soon as possible.
The cost of the funeral was not too high, but it was also a large expense for us poor relatives. My brother suggested that we split the cost and that he pay more. However, I didn't think it was fair, so I offered to share it equally between the two of us.
"Brother, your business is much better than that of me, a worker, and it's okay for you to pay more. "I tried to convince him.
"Dawei, although money is important, fairness and justice are more important. The elder brother shook his head, "It's fair that our brothers divide it equally." Besides, you and I are both grandma's favorite people, how can we still divide each other in this regard?"
I listened to my brother's words, and I was actually a little unconvinced. But looking at his sincere eyes, I really can't resist him. I had to reluctantly agree, and decided to share the cost as he said.
While we were discussing, my brother suddenly said that he had to return to the county seat as soon as possible, because the matter of the restaurant still needed to be handled by him personally. Hearing this, I couldn't help but stop him.
"Brother, are you leaving?" I stopped him and said, "Look, grandma hasn't settled down yet, so you're going to go first?"
"Dawei, I really can't help it. The elder brother sighed, "The matter in the restaurant really needs to be handled by me personally, and if it is delayed, the loss will be great." "
"But grandma's future is more important! you just left us and left first?" My tone became a little agitated.
"Who said I'm going to leave you behind? I'm not going to be here for a while, I'll be back soon. The elder brother gradually became a little angry, "Besides, you and I have grown up, and we should be able to handle these things well, and we don't need to be there in person." "
"Brother, is that what you think?" My voice also raised a little, "Do you think grandma's future is so simple? There are so many things to worry about inside and out!
"Dawei, calm me down!" My brother was finally enraged by me and scolded me, "Don't think I don't want to be with my grandmother! But I also have my own career and family, you can't ask me to leave everything behind, right?"
"Your family, your career?" I sneered and retorted, "Isn't that more important than grandma's rest?
We argued so fiercely, and the more you talked about me, the more excited we became. In the end, I almost made a move. Thankfully, we all kept some sanity and didn't get to that point.
Maybe it was because I was so excited, but my brother gradually calmed down. He looked at me with an almost sad look, as if he realized something.
"David, listen to me. The brother's tone softened a lot, "The reason why I am in a hurry to go back is not because of my career, but because my daughter is sick and needs to be taken care of." "
"Is your daughter sick?" I was shocked by the news, "Why didn't you even tell us this?"
"yes, I didn't want to tell you. The elder brother shook his head helplessly, "I'm afraid that you will be too worried and affect your judgment of doing things." I didn't expect you and me to have such a big disagreement because of this. "
When I heard this, I immediately felt very ashamed. It turned out that everything was a misunderstanding caused by our wishful thinking. I realized that there were still some problems of miscommunication between our brothers. If not resolved in time, this contradiction will only accumulate and eventually lead to irreparable regret.
This incident made me deeply realize how precious and fragile family affection is. If there is a lack of communication and mutual understanding, the family bond will be lost. We should cherish the present moment and manage family relationships well, instead of always focusing on money, fame and fortune.
I remembered how my grandmother used to teach us to care for each other and respect each other. She is the glue that holds us together, and now that she is gone, we should be more united than estranged over some small things like sesame mung beans.
Through this experience, I began to reflect on my values. Money is important, but it is far less important than family affection and happiness. I am determined to live a life that cherishes my loved ones more and never repeats the mistakes of the past.
Just when we were feeling guilty, my brother suddenly came up with an idea.
"Dawei, it might as well be like this. He said, "Let's give some of the relics left by my grandmother to each other, so that we may be able to break down the estrangement between us and regain family affection." "
"Great idea!" I nodded in agreement, "I'll just take Grandma's favorite pair of scissors, she's used it for most of her life." What about you, what do you take?"
"I'll take my grandmother's heirloom bracelet. The elder brother said, "This bracelet has been passed down from our great-grandmother's generation, and my grandmother has always cherished it." "
In this way, we exchanged relics with each other. When I carefully picked up the scissors, it was as if I could feel my grandmother's temperature. And the elder brother also carefully put the bracelet on his hand, and his face was full of happy smiles.
At this moment, we suddenly hugged each other, and tears welled up in our eyes again. This time, we were crying with joy. This episode made us all determined to manage family affection well and make it never run dry. Family affection is the most precious treasure in our lives, and we must not let it slip away again.
The moment we hugged each other again, we all seemed to be relieved. I felt my heart filled with strength again, as if there was a warm current running through my body. The power of family affection is so powerful, it can dissolve all barriers and misunderstandings.
"Brother, I'm sorry, I was too impulsive just now. I said sincerely, "It's me who is too stubborn to understand your practical difficulties." "
"No, it's all our fault. The elder brother also shook his head repeatedly, "We have ignored each other's actual situation to have such a big difference." Thankfully, we got to grips with each other in the end. "
"Yes, if you hadn't been open and honest in time, we wouldn't know how long we would have argued. I sighed, "From now on, we can communicate more and stop letting this happen again." "
"You make so much sense. My brother patted me on the shoulder, "Family affection is like a sapling, if you don't water it carefully, it will be difficult for it to thrive." We must take action to care for it and cherish it. "
I nodded vigorously, and swore in my heart that I would do it. Family affection is too precious to us, and it must not be hurt in the slightest.
That's when I suddenly remembered something. "By the way, brother, how is your daughter now?
"Don't worry, it's just a small cold. My brother comforted me and said, "I've taken care of her, and she'll be fine soon." But you also know that when children are sick, parents will feel that they can't stop it. That's why I'm in such a hurry to go back. "
"That's good, that's good. I finally put my mind at ease, "But brother, don't overwork, and take care of your body." We're counting on you as an older brother!"
"Okay, okay, I'm just a rough person, how can I be so slender. The elder brother laughed, "If I can bear this body, you can put ten thousand hearts." "
Seeing that my brother was so hearty, I also laughed. We haven't experienced this kind of congenial atmosphere for a long time. Perhaps it is because we are so close that we disagree on small things. But it doesn't matter, after this experience, our family bond will only be stronger.
In the next few days, we brothers talked and laughed, as if we had returned to our childhood. We were like two carefree children, frolicking in the shadow of grandma. Grandma is gone, but her spirit is always with us.
In this way, the funeral was gradually finalized under our great control. Despite the twists and turns, we were able to make our last trip to my grandmother. Before leaving, my brother suddenly took my hand and said something that I couldn't believe.
"Dawei, you have to forgive me for being a brother. He said earnestly, "I'm a few years older than you, and I should set an example for you." But in this matter, I was too selfish and complacent. What a disappointment my grandmother expected of me. "
"Brother, don't blame yourself. I waved my hand again and again, "We are all wrong, you can see it, I was more excited than you were at the time! Besides, you have always been a good brother, and you have been so good to us, we don't care about those little things." "
"No, you are all my pride and dependence. The elder brother said stubbornly, "From now on, I will definitely manage our family relationship more carefully and make it stronger and stronger." You can rest assured, with the support of me, who is my brother, nothing will happen!"
Looking at my brother's resolute eyes, I couldn't help but feel a burst of excitement in my heart. Yes, with my brother as a backer, what else do we have to worry about? Our family affection is like a torch that will never be extinguished, illuminating our way forward.
In this way, in the warmth of family affection, we have passed a difficult time. Grandma's death left us in a desperate situation, but eventually we found our way back. This experience is unforgettable, and it has forged us a stronger and more courageous heart.
The day of parting has finally arrived. We hugged each other reluctantly, tears welling up in our eyes. This time, we are crying tears of happiness. Because we know that no matter what happens in the future, we will snuggle together and support each other to get through the difficulties together.
"Dawei, you have to take care of your health. My brother patted me on the shoulder and said, "Tell him if there is anything and don't let that happen again." "
"You too, brother. I nodded, my eyes moistened, "You're the backbone of our brothers, you have to hold on to me!"
"Don't worry, you can rely on my brother to support you!" The elder brother waved his fist heroically and smiled confidently.
In this way, we waved goodbye to each other and set out on our respective journeys home. Although the road is long, our hearts are always together. Because of each other's support, we have incomparable courage and strength.
Family affection is the most precious treasure in life, and it is more precious than diamonds. With it, we have everything; Without it, we have nothing. I hope that everyone can cherish family affection as much as we do, and take action to care for it and nourish it. Only in this way will our lives be full of sunshine and the road of life will not be lost.
In this way, my brother and I parted from each other and set out on our own way home. Although we are separated, our hearts are always connected. We all know that no matter what happens, as long as we trust, tolerate and understand each other, we will be able to resolve all differences and barriers.
On the way home, I had mixed feelings. On the one hand, I am saddened by my grandmother's death; But on the other hand, I am glad that I have regained my bond with my brother. Life is so contradictory, bittersweet and bittersweet. Only when we learn to be at peace can we face everything calmly.
Back home, I was alone in the yard with mixed feelings. I am reminded of what my grandmother taught me when she was alive, and she repeatedly told us to love each other and cherish family affection. However, we have deviated in this regard, and the family relationship is on the verge of breaking. Thankfully, we were able to see the light of day and find our way forward.
"Grandma, have you seen it in the Heavenly Spirit?" I muttered to myself, looking out at the sunset skyline, "Your two grandchildren have finally learned to value each other." We will surely snuggle together and never be separated. That's your biggest wish, isn't it?"
It seems that I have been blessed by my grandmother, and my heart suddenly brightened. I seemed to see my grandmother's kind face, who was looking at us with a smile in the spirit of heaven. I know she must be glad that we have been reconciled.
That's when I suddenly remembered something. Before she died, my grandmother had told us to clean up her cottage. But these days we are doing funerals, and we don't have time to do that.
"Well, now is a good time. I made up my mind, "I'm going to tidy up my grandmother's hut so that she can be at ease in the heavenly spirit." "
So I went to my grandmother's cottage and opened the old-fashioned wooden door. A breath of old age came to my face, and it instantly evoked countless memories in me. I could almost see the kind figure of my grandmother, who was sitting on a low stool spinning and weaving, humming a little song in her mouth.
The house is full of daily necessities used by grandma before her death, neatly stacked. Looking at these familiar objects, my heart is full of mixed feelings. They are like a mirror, reflecting grandma's simple but full of wisdom life.
I started to organize it in an orderly manner. The first was the low table on which some of Grandma's needlework was placed. I picked them up one by one and washed them off with dust. Next came some pots and pans by the stove, which I carefully wiped down.
In this way, I cleaned every corner of the house in an orderly manner. Despite the exertion, I was incredibly engaged. Because this is the last bit of tribute to my grandmother, I have to do everything I can.
Gradually, the whole cottage took on a new look. It reproduces the neat and orderly appearance of grandma when she was alive, as if grandma was by her side. I looked at my masterpiece with satisfaction and suddenly found a small box that I had inadvertently left out in the corner.
I opened the box, and inside it was stacks of old letters, all of which looked yellowed and mottled. I picked up one of them, and it read "To my dearest mother."
My heart shook. We have developed the habit of writing letters to our grandmother since we were children, but we never thought that my grandmother would cherish them so much and keep them all.
As I read it, my eyes moistened involuntarily. Yes, how much Grandma loved us! She treasured our childish letters until the last moment of her life. How fortunate we are to have such a kind and great grandmother!
Looking at this affectionate suicide note, I burst into tears and almost cried bitterly. It turns out that my grandmother cherishes our family affection so much! She regards this as her greatest long-cherished wish, hoping that we can always help each other and love each other.
Yes, how can I live up to my grandmother's expectations? I must manage our family relationship with my brother well, so that it will never dry up. Only in this way can we truly repay grandma's deep friendship!
