On the day of the party, I came to the party site with great excitement. As soon as I entered the door, I saw familiar faces.
"Li Ming, long time no see!" Zhang Zhang hugged me warmly, and a smile of joy spread across his face.
"yes, I haven't seen you in years. I couldn't hide my excitement, "You can be regarded as making a fortune, I heard that you just bought a new house?"
"Wherever you are, you can barely get by. Zhang Li smiled humbly, "What about you, how is the unit?"
I was about to answer, but was interrupted by another familiar voice: "Li Ming! I turned around, and it turned out to be Wang Gang, the former class president of our class.
"You kid still loves to joke so much!" I smiled and hugged him, "I haven't seen him in a few years, but you haven't changed at all!"
"How can I be, I became a father before you. Wang Gang pointed to his beer belly and laughed at himself.
At this moment, a burst of warm applause rang out, and it turned out that Xiao Li, the top student in our class, was present. Although Xiao Li looks mediocre, his academic performance has always been the best in our class.
"Xiao Li, I didn't expect you to become a professor now!" Zhang Zhang stepped forward and hugged Xiao Li warmly.
"Everywhere, I'm just a little assistant professor. Xiao Li smiled humbly.
Just when everyone was chatting passionately, suddenly, a cold news came, completely breaking the joyful atmosphere.
Suddenly, the scene was silent. Everyone looked at each other, but no one said anything.
My heart is extremely heavy. Xiao Zhang is the most popular one in our class, he is always helpful, sincere and warm. His passing is a huge blow to each of us.
"Do you remember back then, it was Xiao Zhang who took the initiative to invite me to join the basketball team?" Wang Gang's eyes were gloomy, "If it weren't for him, I might have been an otaku all along." "
"Yes, Zhang is so kind to everyone. Xiao Li couldn't hide his sadness, "When I was in school, if he hadn't taken the initiative to explain the exercises to us, we might not have been able to get such good results." "
Everyone, you and I, have recalled the bits and pieces of getting along with Xiao Zhang. It is said that Xiao Zhang is a versatile person, and there are mentions of Xiao Zhang's helpful qualities. Gradually, we seem to see Xiao Zhang's vigorous figure, which is vividly displayed in front of our eyes.
While everyone mourns Xiao Zhang, they also feel very sad for his family. Xiao Zhang's wife is only 29 years old, and the child is only 6 years old. As a young wife and mother, she must have suffered a huge blow now.
"Poor little Zhang's wife, how sad she must be now. Zhang Zhang said sadly, "The news of Xiao Zhang's death must be a bolt from the blue for her." "
"Yes, Xiao Zhang's child is only six years old, and he lost his father at such a young age. Wang Gang sighed, "How difficult the days to come will be." "
We can almost imagine what kind of mood Xiao Zhang's wife was in at this time. She must have cried so badly, and her heart must have been filled with endless sorrow and pain. And how will that young child face the cruel fact of losing his father?
"Yes, if possible, we should reach out and provide some financial support for Xiao Zhang's family. Xiao Li pondered for a moment and said what everyone thought.
As soon as Xiao Li's words came out, they immediately resonated with us. After all, Xiao Zhang's death brought not only mental trauma to his family, but also a heavy financial burden. As old classmates, we have an obligation to lend a helping hand when they need it most.
"I agree with Xiao Li's idea. Zhang Zhang didn't say a word, took out his wallet, "Xiao Zhang was very good to us back then, and now it's our turn to help his family." "
Seeing Zhang Li's action, everyone followed suit. Someone pulled out cash, someone took out a bank card. In a short time, we had 100,000 yuan.
"We'll go to Xiao Zhang's house tomorrow and transfer the money to his wife. I said, "Hopefully this money will ease some of her burden." "
Everyone agreed. Although money can't make up for the trauma caused by Xiao Zhang's death, it can at least help his family tide over the current difficulties.
We rang the doorbell, and it was a long time before Zhang's wife came to open the door. Seeing her face, we all felt heartache. Her eyes were red and swollen, apparently crying for a long time.
"Hello, please come in. Although her tone was calm, her eyes were full of helplessness and sadness.
We mustered up the courage and handed her the money: "This is a little bit of a gesture from a few of our classmates, I hope it can help you." "
Unexpectedly, she shook her head resolutely and rejected our kindness.
"Thank you for your kindness, but I can't take the money. Her tone was firm, "Although money is very important to me, what I value more is Xiao Zhang's personality and ethics when he was alive. The most important thing for Xiao Zhang is honesty and trustworthiness, and I don't want to accept this money from unknown sources. "
We were shocked by Xiao Zhang's wife's resolute attitude. We raised the funds out of the most sincere kindness, but we didn't expect to be rejected in person. The scene was silent for a while, and everyone looked at each other and was at a loss.
"I know you mean well. Xiao Zhang's wife's eyes were firm, "However, I hope to keep the honest character of Xiao Zhang when he was alive." Money is important, but it is not as important as integrity. "
We are speechless. Xiao Zhang's wife's determination is already so strong, it is in vain for us to say anything more. We could only reluctantly take back the money, with mixed feelings in our hearts.
Did we do something wrong? Did we hurt Xiao Zhang's wife in something? All kinds of questions swirled in our minds. On the way back, there was a solemn scene in the car.
After being rejected, I fell into deep contemplation. What does friendship really mean? Is it based on money? I began to reflect on whether my understanding of friendship was too superficial.
The most precious thing about friendship is being able to understand each other's situation, rather than simply giving money. The reason why Xiao Zhang's wife rejected us is precisely because she cherished Xiao Zhang's moral integrity during his lifetime and did not want it to be tarnished in any way. And we didn't understand her insistence.
"Perhaps, we did something wrong. Zhang Zhang sighed, "We should first ask Xiao Zhang's wife for advice, instead of taking money to the door on our own initiative." "
"Yes, friendship shouldn't be built on money. Wang Gang nodded, "We ignored Xiao Zhang's wife's feelings, and this is our mistake." "
Everyone agreed. We begin to reflect on whether our understanding of friendship is still too superficial. Friendship should be based on mutual respect and consideration, and should not just stop at the level of money.
Gradually, I began to understand what Xiao Zhang's wife was doing. She refused our donation because she didn't want Zhang's integrity to be tarnished in any way. In her eyes, honesty and trustworthiness are more important than money. She would rather live on a shoehorn than accept money from unknown sources. This kind of principled quality is what attracted Xiao Zhang to her in the first place. She is using her own way to defend Xiao Zhang's personality and integrity.
"Think about it, what would he do if Xiao Zhang was still around?" Xiao Li pondered for a moment and said, "He will definitely support his wife's decision, because honesty and trustworthiness are his life creed." "
"That makes so much sense. I nodded in agreement, "We did underestimate Xiao Zhang's wife's determination, and also underestimated her understanding and love for Xiao Zhang." "
"We should respect Xiao Zhang's wife's decision. Zhang Zhang said, "Although her approach is incomprehensible, it comes from a pure and kind heart." "
After this experience, I gained a new understanding of friendship. Friendship is not based on money, but on mutual understanding, respect and tolerance.
Money is important, but it doesn't solve everything. There are some things that are more valuable than money, such as personality ethics and life creed. As Xiao Zhang's wife said, she values Xiao Zhang's honest and trustworthy character more than money.
True friendship should be able to tolerate each other's differences and respect each other's choices. Even if we can't understand what Xiao Zhang's wife did, we should respect her decision, because it was out of her heart's insistence.
"The essence of friendship lies in mutual understanding and respect. "Although we failed this time, we also gained valuable life lessons." "
"Yes, we should learn to treat our friends with a more open and inclusive mind. Xiao Li said approvingly, "Friendship is not based on charity, but on mutual appreciation." "
Friends are not only about giving and receiving, but more importantly, about mutual appreciation, understanding and respect. Only by treating each other's differences with a tolerant heart can friendship last forever. This is exactly what Xiao Zhang admired so much back then, and it is also the quality that we old classmates should learn from each other.
Although this experience made us regretful, it also gave us valuable life lessons. We began to reflect on whether our understanding of friendship in the past was too superficial and utilitarian, and whether we should treat friendship with purer and nobler virtues like Xiao Zhang and his wife.
"Actually, Xiao Zhang's wife's approach made me reflect a lot. "Friendship should not only be based on money, but more importantly, mutual understanding and respect." "
"Yes, we should learn to be more tolerant of our friends. Wang Gang agreed, "Respecting each other's differences is the cornerstone of long-lasting friendship." "
Just when we were learning from the pain, Xiao Zhang's wife called again, which surprised us.
"Guys, I'm sorry, but it was my mistake to reject your kindness. There was apology in her voice, "I just rethought it, and I can accept your kindness." "
"What? What did you say?" We were all taken aback by the call, and our abrupt turn of events left us scratching our heads.
"I didn't think it through, I was too complacent and ignored your kindness. She continued, "Your act of friendship is truly motivated by the purest kindness, and I should not turn it away. Now that I think about it, this not only hurts you, but also deviates from Xiao Zhang's life creed of 'tolerance and friendship'. "
We are all relieved to hear this. It turned out that Xiao Zhang's wife was not blindly stubborn, but after careful consideration, she finally made a generous choice. Her humility and open-mindedness make us all sincerely admire.
"Of course, we fully forgive you and understand your struggle. "The most important thing now is that we continue to support your mother and son, so that the seeds of friendship can take root in you." "
"Yes, Xiao Zhang must also like to see that we can understand and support each other. Zhang Zhang also said sincerely, "Let's start anew and warm each other's hearts with the power of friendship." "
Everyone agreed. Once again, we came to Xiao Zhang's home, but this time, we were full of joy and anticipation. Xiao Zhang's wife opened the door for us personally, with a relieved smile on her face.
"Thank you for your understanding and tolerance. She said sincerely, "Xiao Zhang will definitely be proud of your precious friendship." "
We put the money in her hands, and she didn't refuse this time. Looking at the smile on her face, our hearts are also filled with happiness and warmth. The power of friendship is so powerful, it can dissolve differences and warm people's hearts.
"If you need anything in the future, just ask. We sincerely said to Xiao Zhang's wife, "We old classmates will continue to support your mother and son." "
"Thank you. Her eyes were slightly red, but her face was full of happiness, "With your good friends by your side, our mother and son will definitely be able to start a new life again." "
In this way, with the power of friendship, we reconnected with Xiao Zhang's wife. This friendship is not based on money, but on mutual understanding, tolerance and support.
Xiao Zhang's death did bring great trauma to his family, but with the support of our old classmates, they will be able to slowly come out of the haze and regain the courage and hope of life. The power of friendship is so powerful, it can warm people's hearts, and give people endless strength and courage.
"Friendship is not simply giving and taking, but mutual understanding and support. I was filled with emotion, "It is this friendship that has brought us together and will keep us together forever." "
"Yes, the seeds of friendship are firmly rooted in our hearts. Zhang Li agreed and said, "No matter what happens, we will use the power of friendship to support and warm each other." "
Everyone agreed. This experience reminded us of the value of friendship. Friendship can not only give us financial support, but also give us spiritual comfort. With the warm harbor of friendship, we can face life's tribulations bravely.
Let's wish Xiao Zhang's family to regain their courage and start again; I also wish that the flower of our friendship will always bloom and warm each other's hearts forever. With the power of friendship, we have nothing to fear.
