"Hey, come and see, Daddy has picked up the money!" I was concentrating on my homework when the exclamations of my younger siblings rang out. I hurriedly ran to the living room, only to see my father holding a wad of banknotes in his hand, and his face was full of joy.
"What's going on? Where did the money come from?" Mom leaned over and asked curiously.
"I picked it up on the side of the road when I got off work. Dad smiled and said, "It's 50 yuan, what a lucky thing!"
"Yes, you're so unkind!" Uncle also joined in, and his accusatory gaze shot at Dad, "This money is obviously lost by others, and you actually take it for yourself, it's a sin!"
I looked at my father's reprimand, and I was confused. I was about to say something, but my mother took the first step and tried to relieve my father.
"Ouch, you two don't ask for guilt like that. Mom hurriedly explained, "Your father's heart for picking up money is not crooked, he is just lucky." If someone came to claim it, he would return it in full. "
"Return, dream!" The aunt didn't have a chance to explain to her mother at all, and then there was a stormy accusation, "You people just don't look at money in your eyes, and when you see it, you want to take it for yourself." How can there be so many reasons, picking up money is stealing, why don't you understand?"
"Yes, yes, yes, you just have too low a moral level!" Not to be outdone, the uncle pointed at his father's nose and scolded, "You are a poor bastard, you can't hold on to the money when you see it, don't you? I don't want to think about whose hard-earned money this money is, it's good for you to take it for yourself and call it 'good luck'!"
I watched my dad being scolded speechless, and I was trembling with anger. Just as I was about to relieve my father, my grandparents joined the battle.
"You young people are just too unscrupulous!" Grandpa said angrily, "I know that I am confused, and I can't tell the difference between right and wrong." Your dad is a blatant thief, how can he protect it?"
"Yes, you just can't listen to what our old man says!" Grandma also spat and counted, "If you pick up the money, you should hand it over to the owner, but you take it for yourself, it's really useless!"
I looked at the scene in front of me and was extremely sad. I wanted to help my father, but the adults were arguing so loudly that my voice was completely drowned out.
Seeing that things are spiraling out of control, I can't help but feel extremely anxious. Just as I was about to speak, my father suddenly calmed down and said calmly, "I know your good intentions, but that's not the case. "
"Oh, what else do you have to explain?" Uncle snorted disdainfully, "Didn't you pick up the money to take it for yourself?"
"It's not like that. Dad shook his head, his tone firm, "My original intention of picking up the money is good." I plan to donate the $50 to charity so that it can truly benefit others. "
"Donating money?" The aunt's eyes widened as if she had heard some fantasy, "Then it is better to hand it over to the owner! You are obviously stolen goods, how can you use them for good deeds?"
"I understand your concerns. Instead of getting angry, Dad patiently explained, "But I've thought about it." There is no way to find out where the money went, and if we hand it over to the police, it will eventually go to the treasury. Instead of that, donate directly to charity to benefit those in need. In this way, the money will not be wasted, and it will be considered my wish. "
Uncle and aunt looked at each other, as if they were stopped by their father's words. I looked at my father's calm expression, and a sense of admiration spontaneously arose in my heart. Unexpectedly, he had already thought about this matter thoroughly, instead of having the idea of possession as his uncle and aunt said.
"Whether it is right or wrong is to be judged by the heart. Dad said calmly, "My intentions are good, even if the approach is biased, but it is better than wasting money in vain." I believe that as long as you treat it with love, even if it is illegal gains, it can turn decay into magic. "
At this moment, my mother also opened her mouth to relieve my father: "You guys are making too much of a fuss." Your father's intention to pick up the money is good, he just wants to make the money more useful. If you have to think about the worst, that's too much. "
"Enough, stop arguing!" The mother said categorically, "If you really can't accept it, then let the children judge it." "
"Uncle, aunt, I think Dad is doing the right thing. I said solemnly, "Although it is biased to pick up the money, his original intention is good, and he wants to make the money benefit more people." Rather than being wasted, it is better to do good deeds, which is the greatest value embodiment. "
"You kid was also bewitched by your father!" The uncle seemed to be angry, and scolded fiercely, "Picking up money is stealing, how can there be so many reasons to talk about? You just don't look at the money in your eyes, and when you see it, you want to take it for yourself!"
"Uncle, you're thinking too one-sidedly. I insisted on my point of view, and my tone became a little stiff, "Although Dad's approach is biased, his intentions are good." What's wrong with giving money to charity so that it can really benefit others?"
"You kid is talking wildly!" My aunt was also annoyed by my words, and pointed at my nose and scolded, "You just have no integrity, and you can't tell the difference between right and wrong! Picking up money is stolen goods, how can you use it for good deeds? You are really confused!"
"Mom!" Seeing my uncle and aunt so aggressive, I couldn't resist it, so I had to turn to my mother for help, "You say, is what Dad did right?"
"Of course it's right!" Without saying a word, my mother gave me an affirmative answer, "You young people are just too rigid and self-serving, and you can't tell the difference between right and wrong." Your dad's intentions are good, he just wants to make the money work harder. If you have to think about the worst, that's a bit too much. "
"Ouch, how many of you!" Seeing this, Grandpa also joined in, "I know that it is crooked, and I can't tell the difference between right and wrong." Your dad's heart for picking up money is not crooked, he is just lucky. If someone came to claim it, he would have returned it in full. "
"Enough, am I still wrong?" Grandpa clasped his hands around him, and his eyes shot like electricity, "You guys are just too complacent, and your ideas are too old." What's wrong with your dad donating money to charity to benefit more people?"
The uncle and aunt were calmed by the grandfather's reprimand, and could no longer say anything to refute. I looked at their embarrassed expressions, but my heart was overjoyed. It seems that everyone has finally realized the intention of Dad's approach.
At this moment, our younger siblings joined in and came up with ideas for us.
"Yes, yes, Dad is doing a great job!" My sister tugged at the corner of her mother's clothes and said innocently, "How good it is to donate money to the poor so that they can also live a good life!"
"That's it, Dad is the best!" The younger brother also coaxed, "Isn't it great that he donated the money to help more people?"
Looking at the children's speeches, the faces of the uncles and aunts became a little ugly. They seem to realize that their stubbornness has made the scene a little embarrassing. I looked at my dad and saw a smile on his face and a look of relief in his eyes.
"Okay, okay, stop arguing. Dad waved his hand and said, "I know you're doing it for my good." However, this matter does require calm thinking, and we cannot blindly rest on our laurels. I'm doing something biased, but it's better than wasting money, right?"
The uncle and aunt were silent, as if thinking about their father's words. After a long while, the uncle finally spoke, with a little apology in his voice: "You're right, we're too complacent. It's really a good idea to donate money to charity to benefit more people. "
Seeing that my uncle and aunt finally changed their minds, my father, mother, grandparents, younger siblings and I all smiled with relief. The original tense atmosphere was swept away and replaced by laughter. Everyone started chatting with each other, as if the previous quarrel had never happened.
I looked at the smile on my father's face, and my heart was extremely warm. This experience made me deeply realize that we should always keep an open mind and be open to new things. At first, the uncle and aunt were complacent, clinging to traditional ideas, which led to unnecessary disputes. Only after we communicate sincerely and understand each other can we untie the knot and reach a consensus.
I looked at the happy family in front of me, and secretly made up my mind that no matter what difficulties I encountered in the future, I would be like my father, maintain an open and tolerant mind, and treat others with reason and kindness. Only in this way can we truly become a harmonious family.
In this way, the family sat in the living room in harmony, talking and laughing, and the atmosphere was happy. The original tense dispute was as if it had never happened, replaced by the warmth of family affection.
"Haha, you young people are just too serious!" Grandpa clapped his hands and smiled and said, "If you don't know what is right or wrong, you love to chirp." But it's normal, after all, I'm young, and I always have a bunch of weird ideas in my head. "
"Oh grandpa, you're just spoiling them. Grandma glanced at grandpa, but her tone was full of doting, "Look at it, even the grandson has been taken by them, and he has learned to chirp crookedly." "
"Everywhere, I have always taught them to think for themselves. Grandpa waved his hand nonchalantly, turned to me and said, "Young man, you have done well today, and it seems that you have your own opinions." If you encounter any problems in the future, don't be easily persuaded by others, and be sure to stick to your own ideas. "
"Yes Grandpa, I will keep your teachings in mind. I nodded solemnly, feeling extremely proud of my grandfather's compliment.
"Cut, you just spoil your grandson too much!" Grandma glared at Grandpa angrily, and then said to me, "You can't be too willful." Although your thoughts are correct today, sometimes you should listen to the advice of your elders and don't be too stubborn. You see, your uncle and aunt, although their ideas are a little old-fashioned at first, haven't you been persuaded in the end? "
"Okay grandma, I will keep your teachings in mind. I said sincerely.
"That's it, brother is amazing today!" The younger sister clapped her little hands on the side and praised innocently, "He said the truth, and he persuaded his uncle and aunt." In the future, I will have my own ideas like my brother!"
"Haha, you little gluttonous cat, you know how to make a mess. Mom rubbed her sister's little head dotingly, and scolded with a smile, "But what I said makes sense, your brother did do well today." If only you could have your own opinions in the future. "
"Hmph, you're just too spoiled child!" Seeing this, the aunt began to nag again, "Look, even a little hairy child dares to point fingers here." If we had been, we wouldn't have dared to be so presumptuous!"
"Ouch, don't nag all the time. The mother hurriedly smoothed the hair for the aunt, "The children are young, and it is inevitable that they will be a little willful." As long as we are considerate, they will naturally grow. "
"That's it, aunt, don't keep a straight face. Dad also joked, "If you always have a stinky face, you will be called an 'old woman'." "
A hearty laugh echoed through the living room. I looked at this warm scene in front of me, and my heart was extremely grateful. The dispute that was originally caused by the 50 yuan bill disappeared in the warmth of family affection. Everyone joked and joked with each other, and they couldn't see the tension before at all.
"Everywhere, when you're older, you're naturally more conservative in your thinking. Dad hurriedly relieved the siege, "It's because we're too young, and our ideas are a little presumptuous." But that's why we can complement each other and learn from each other's strengths. "
"You kid, you can talk. The uncle was amused by his father's words, and patted him on the shoulder with a smile, "But your idea is really good." Donating money to charity to benefit more people is the best of both worlds. It's really an old man talking about juvenile madness!"
"Well, you can teach us young people more. Dad also quipped, "Although we have active minds, there are always times when we are too presumptuous." You need a lot of advice, lest we get mad. "
"Hahaha, you guys!" The uncle was amused, "Okay, okay, let's just learn from each other's strengths." You young people have vitality, we old people have experience, and we can learn from each other in order to become a harmonious family. "
A burst of warm applause rang out, everyone said a word, and the atmosphere was very warm. I looked at the harmonious scene in front of me, and my heart was extremely warm. The dispute that was originally caused by a small incident was finally resolved in the warmth of family affection. I realized that the power of family is so powerful, it can dissolve all barriers and tie us together.
As long as we are considerate and tolerant of each other, and treat each other with understanding and kindness, there will be no contradictions that are irreconcilable. As Dad said, we have to be brave enough to accept new things and approach the world with an open mind. Only in this way can we truly become a harmonious family.
Just when everyone was talking happily and chatting happily, I suddenly thought of a question. So I cleared my throat and asked, "Dad, why did you have to donate the money to charity in the first place, and why didn't you keep it for yourself when you couldn't find out where it came from?"
