It was my grandmother's birthday, and I had carefully selected a beautiful Amsterdam antique watch as a birthday present, intending to surprise my grandmother. I know that my grandmother has always loved this timepiece, it symbolizes the passage of time and the warmth of the family. It took me a whole month's salary to buy this gift, and I sincerely hope to make my grandmother happy.
When I came to my grandmother's house with a well-wrapped gift, she was sitting in the living room watching TV. When I saw the gift box in my hand, my grandmother's eyes suddenly lit up: "Oh, what is this? A birthday present for the old lady?" I quickly nodded and handed her the gift: "Grandma, this is my birthday present to you, I hope you will like it." Grandma happily accepted the gift and carefully unpacked it. When she saw the antique clock inside, a heartfelt smile appeared on her face: "Wow, such a beautiful clock! Baby, how did you come up with the idea of buying this? "
Just then, my aunt walked in from nowhere. She glanced at the clock in her grandmother's hand, and her eyes suddenly became dark: "Yo, such a valuable thing, a birthday gift for grandma?" Grandma hurriedly nodded: "Yes, it's Xiaofang's birthday gift to me, how beautiful." "
As soon as my heart sank, I knew something wasn't quite right. Sure enough, my aunt reached out to get the clock, but her tone was not very polite: "Grandma, this clock looks really good, but it is too valuable, you are old, it will be broken if you don't do it, so it is better to keep it for me." When my grandmother heard this, she immediately became vigilant: "What? This is a gift from Xiaofang, why should I keep it for you? "
Seeing this, I quickly explained: "Auntie, this clock is a birthday gift I specially selected for my grandmother, and my grandmother likes this kind of retro thing the most." How can you just think about taking it away?"
My aunt glared at me and sneered, "Hmph, what do you know? Such a valuable thing, my grandmother is old, what if it breaks it? As the most experienced person in the family, of course I should keep it on my behalf." "
"But aunt, this is a gift that I bought for a month's salary, and I really want to make my grandmother happy. Why do you want to take it without permission?" I retorted eagerly.
"Xiaofang, don't talk too much. My aunt interrupted me impatiently, "I think this clock is more suitable for me to keep, and it is for my grandmother anyway." So saying, she reached out and grabbed the clock from her grandmother's hand.
Seeing this, my grandmother immediately protected the clock and shouted, "Stop me!" This is a birthday gift from Xiaofang, why do you want to take it?"
The two had a heated argument over the clock. I watched the argument between my grandmother and my aunt, and I had mixed feelings. I know that my aunt has always been dissatisfied with my grandmother, but I didn't expect her to even snatch her grandmother's birthday gift. This made me feel angry and helpless, and the birthday surprise I had finally prepared for my grandmother was ruined by my aunt.
Just as the argument was getting more and more intense, my dad also came out of the room. Seeing the commotion in the living room, he frowned: "What's going on?
My aunt immediately turned to my dad and said in a pleading tone, "Dad, you see, Xiaofang bought a very expensive clock for my grandmother as a birthday gift, but my grandmother is old, what if she accidentally breaks it?" I want to keep it for my grandmother so that nothing happens." "
My dad glanced at me and said in a deep voice, "Did Xiaofang buy this clock for her grandmother?"
I nodded, "Yes, Dad, this is my birthday present for my grandmother." I really want to make my grandmother happy. "
My dad pondered for a while, and then said to my aunt, "Since it was a gift that Xiaofang bought herself and gave it to her grandmother, it should be kept by her grandmother." You're not in a position to meddle. "
When my aunt heard this, her face suddenly became gloomy: "Dad, how can you be so partial to her? This is a very valuable antique, if grandma accidentally breaks it, won't it be wasted?"
My dad frowned: "Don't go too far! This is clearly Xiaofang's sincerity, and my grandmother is also very happy." Why do you think you're entitled to keep it for your grandmother? You want to keep it for yourself, right?"
"Dad, how can you say that? I'm just doing it for my grandmother's good!" My aunt immediately retorted loudly.
"Hello grandma, hmph, you know it best in your own heart. My dad snorted coldly, "You naturally can't see Xiaofang's sincerity." You're just trying to take the opportunity to keep this watch for yourself, aren't you?"
At this time, my aunt completely lost her mind, rushed directly to my father, and shouted: "Why do you say that about me? I just want to keep this clock for my grandmother, what right do you have to accuse me?!"
My dad was stunned by her yelling, and then he became angry: "You shut up for me! Are you embarrassed to say this kind of thing? You want to grab grandma's birthday present, what are you?!"
Just as the dispute became more and more intense, my grandmother finally couldn't help but speak: "You two, that's enough! This clock is a birthday gift from Xiaofang, of course I have to keep it myself." Don't join in the fun. "
But my aunt and father had no intention of stopping, and the two seemed to be completely caught up in their emotions. My aunt yelled, "This clock is too valuable, you can't keep it yourself," and at the same time, she approached her step by step, trying to snatch the clock in her hand.
I watched my aunt's momentum become more and more ferocious, and I involuntarily walked to my grandmother's side and stretched out my hand to protect the clock in her hand: "Auntie, please don't do this, this is a gift from my grandmother, you are really not qualified to interfere." "
My aunt glared at me, her voice full of anger: "Xiaofang, you get out of here!" This has nothing to do with you, this is our family's business." "
"But aunt, it's so unreasonable for you to do this!" I clenched my fists and tried to suppress the anger inside, "This is a birthday present for my grandmother, why did you take it?"
"Unreasonable?!" My aunt sneered, "Why should I? As the most qualified person in the family, of course I am qualified to keep such a valuable thing! Grandma is old, what if something happens?"
"Then it's not your turn to intervene!" I finally couldn't help but retort loudly, "This is my sincerity, what qualifications do you have to touch it? You are under the banner of 'good for grandma', but I think you just want to take it for yourself!"
"Shut up!" My aunt grabbed my arm, "What do you know? You think you know what's right and what's wrong, you don't know what's right and what's wrong?"
"Stop!" At this moment, my grandmother suddenly shouted loudly to stop my aunt's behavior.
When I looked closely, I saw my grandmother's face was blue and her eyes were full of anger. She clutched the clock in her hand as if she wanted to smash it.
"Enough for the two of you!" Grandma said sharply, "I said that this clock was a birthday gift from Xiaofang, and you still want to fight for it?
"Shut up!" Grandma interrupted her, "I know what you're trying to say. You keep saying it's for my good, but have you ever thought that what I need most is the love and respect of my children?"
Grandma said this, tears welled up in her eyes. I looked at her distressedly, and the guilt swept over me instantly. If it weren't for this time of mine, my grandmother wouldn't have become like this.
"You two, can't you think about me for once?" Grandma shook her head and sighed, "I'm already this old, and my health is not very good, so there are not many days to enjoy." What I want most is to live my life in peace and quiet, and not be bothered by your quarrels. "
My aunt was speechless for a while, so she could only lower her head and stop talking. Dad was also a little embarrassed to stand aside, not knowing what to say.
I stepped forward and hugged my grandmother's thin body tightly. My grandmother still had the smell of her usual perfume, and the familiar smell made my eyes moisten instantly.
"Grandma, I'm sorry," I choked up, "and I'm really sorry that this gift of mine caused such a thing." "
My grandmother stroked my hair and said softly, "Silly boy, how can I blame you? It's not your fault. It's just that your dad and aunt are always so puzzled that they even have to compete for the old lady's birthday gift. "
I hugged my grandmother tightly and felt her thin body tremble slightly in my arms. I was both distressed and angry, angry at the actions of my father and aunt for letting my grandmother suffer such torture.
I raised my head, looked at my father and aunt, and couldn't help but say, "Dad, aunt, you are really too much! Grandma is old and not in good health, what she needs most is peace and love." But you have to make a big noise about a clock, which will make your grandmother sad. Why can't you think about your grandmother for once?"
"Worried?!" I retorted, "You obviously want to keep it for yourself!" Grandma has been so kind to you children for so many years, and you don't even let go of her birthday present, it's too much!"
Dad sighed, walked up to Grandma, and said softly, "Grandma, I'm sorry, it's us too." This timepiece is really valuable, and we are worried that you will break it, so we will argue endlessly. But now that you think about it, doing so does break your heart and makes you feel disrespected. "
Grandma nodded and whispered, "I know you have good intentions, but sometimes 'good intentions' can hurt others. I am now old and not in good health, and what I need most is peace and being well taken care of by my children. But you are fighting over such a trivial matter, which makes me angry and sad. "
At the end, my grandmother's voice was a little choked. I looked at the tears on her face and felt even more sad. It was a birthday present from me to my grandmother, but now it has become a bane that makes her sad.
At this time, my aunt finally realized her mistake, and stepped forward and hugged my grandmother tightly: "Grandma, I'm sorry, I was too selfish. I'm just worried about what such a precious thing is burdening you, but I don't forget that what you need most is our love. I will definitely take good care of you in the future. "
Grandma patted the back of my aunt's hand and said, "Okay, I know you have good intentions. But I hope that in the future, you will respect my wishes and stop arguing over such trivial matters. At my age, what I need most is peace and love. "
After speaking, my grandmother turned her eyes to me and reached out to touch my cheek: "Xiaofang, I'm sorry for letting you see such a scene." You are my most beloved granddaughter, and I know that you must have bought me such a valuable gift out of sincerity. Thank you, baby. "
I held my grandmother's hand, and tears flowed involuntarily: "Grandma, I'm sorry, it's because of my gift that you have suffered such a grievance." I just wanted to make you happy, but I didn't expect it to cause such a conflict. "
My grandmother gently wiped the tears from my face and said softly, "Silly boy, it's not your fault. I'm really glad you gave me this watch. It's just that your dad and your aunt are too argumentative and always complicate simple things. "
I nodded, still feeling guilty and sad in my heart. My grandmother is old and not in good health, and she should have enjoyed a peaceful life, but she was overwhelmed by us children.
At this moment, my father came over and patted me on the shoulder: "Xiaofang, I know that you gave this gift to my grandmother out of kindness." But as you can see, this incident has caused my grandmother to suffer a lot of grievances. You have to think more about your grandmother in the future and stop doing this kind of thing that makes her sad. "
I looked up at my dad and asked a little puzzled, "But Dad, I really want to make my grandmother happy with this clock, why are you blaming me?"
Dad sighed and said, "I know what you mean, but sometimes even good intentions can hurt. My grandmother is old and not in good health, and what she needs most is peace and being taken care of by her children. In the future, when you give gifts or do anything, you must think about your grandmother's feelings, and don't let her suffer such grievances again. "
