Last week, I went back to my hometown with my father to visit relatives and stayed for a few days, but I didn't expect that the few days I spent in my hometown would be more exciting than what happened when I lived in the city for a year.
First, my cousin came to the door and asked me to help him and his cousin-in-law find jobs, and then my uncle played the family card and asked me to borrow money and beg me to do something, which was even more ups and downs than the plot in the TV series.
But what I didn't expect the most was that such a proud and no-one uncle would come to confess his mistake to my father for the sake of his cousin, and took the initiative to come to the door with gifts to beg me to do something.
In fact, when I was young, my malice towards my uncle was not so great, and the relationship between our two families was still quite good at that time.
The change of events probably happened after the uncle "made a fortune", he opened a clothing store with his aunt in the town, and because of the good quality and low price, he won the love of many people, and made a lot of money.
Speaking of which, the clothing store he opened, as well as our family's "shares", at that time, there was a big layoff in my uncle's factory, and my uncle and aunt were on the list, and they were both laid off.
My grandparents lived with us, and my uncle basically didn't care, but there was a cousin who was going to school at home, and no matter how frugal he was, he couldn't go without income for a long time.
My dad saw that my uncle's family was really difficult, so he took my cousin over to take care of him together, and told the two of them to go to work and earn money to support the family.
Uncle is a flexible man, and he didn't rush to find a formal job, but stayed in the town for two days, and when he came back, he told my parents that he wanted to borrow some money and set up a shop in the town to sell clothes.
At this time, my parents came back to their senses, and it turned out that my uncle had not been in the town for two days, but had gone to the town to investigate.
I don't know why they were so confident in their uncle, and gave him 60,000 yuan, the 60,000 yuan at that time was not as good as now, it can be said that the two of them saved it for more than ten years.
After handing over the money to the uncle, the father patted the uncle on the shoulder and said, you can rest assured that you can manage with your younger siblings in a down-to-earth manner, and you can rest assured that the child is with us, and we will help you take care of him.
For a long time after that, my cousin ate and lived in our house, even the parent-teacher conference, my father went to open it for my cousin, and the school tuition and miscellaneous fees were all paid by my father to my cousin.
The uncle and aunt put all their energy into the shop, because in those days there were few clothing stores in the town, and people mainly bought their own cloth and found tailors to make clothes.
Therefore, Uncle's shop was very popular as soon as it opened, and buying ready-made clothes was not much more expensive than buying cloth by himself, and the style was novel and good-looking, so people within a radius of dozens of miles came to Uncle to buy clothes.
The two of them were very busy, and sometimes they would call my parents and ask them to come and help, and my uncle always had to pay them afterwards, but my parents never asked for it.
Father said, it's all a small favor, the family can help, what money is not money, besides, you are doing well, my sister-in-law and my mother can rest assured.
When I was in the sixth grade, when my cousin was in his second year of junior high school, my grandmother passed away, and the funeral was held at our house.
After grandma's funeral was over, my uncle brought my cousin to say goodbye to my father, saying that now that our mother is gone, and we are doing business in the town again, we will not go back to our hometown to live, and when you have something, you will go to the town to find us.
After speaking, he bowed to his father according to his cousin, said some goodbye, and hurriedly got into the moving car and left.
This time, the uncle's family has never come back, only during the Qingming Festival and the New Year, they will come back to burn paper for their grandparents, and the contact with our family is becoming less and less.
Probably when I was in my second year of junior high school, my uncle opened a second clothing store in the town, hired a few waiters to run it, and stuffed my cousin, who was not very good at studying, into a key middle school in the city.
On the day of the opening, my uncle invited us to join us in the party, and because I hadn't been to the town yet, I couldn't be excited.
As soon as I arrived at my uncle's clothing store, I broke free from my mother's restraints and began to look around, and when my aunt found me, she reprimanded me and told me not to run around, and what to do if I stained the clothes hanging on the shelves.
My aunt's voice was not small, which attracted the attention of the uncle who was talking to my parents at the door, and my parents were naturally aware of the situation here.
Hurriedly walked over, pulled me to my side, and said to the uncle and aunt embarrassedly, the child came to the town for the first time, fresh, so I walked around to take a look, the child is very stable, will not damage and stain your clothes.
After apologizing, my aunt said angrily, I haven't seen the dirt buns in the world, take care of your children, and if you break my clothes, your monthly salary is not enough to compensate.
After my aunt said this, my mother was a little unhappy on her face, my father touched my mother next to me, and my mother endured it, and my father whispered to my mother, we are here to cheer for my younger brothers and sisters today, but don't stiffen here, and then my face will be dull.
Although my mother didn't have a seizure, she was unhappy after all, and there was no smile at the end of the whole scene, and as soon as the dinner was over, she pulled me and my father and left quickly.
After returning home, my mother said to my father, let's have less contact with your younger brothers and sisters in the future, people are different from us, they are rich now, and they don't look down on our poor relatives.
My father had the heart to refute, but after thinking about what had happened today, he moved his mouth and didn't say anything convincing.
Since then, the uncle's family has been prosperous, and our family is still the same as before, plain and bland, and a little rich is safe.
The next time I dealt with my uncle's family was at my cousin's wedding, my cousin failed to get into college in the college entrance examination, and after graduation, he found a factory to work, and then I met my cousin-in-law, and after that, I got married.
The cousin's wedding was very grand, and the uncle and aunt invited almost everyone they knew, and more than 40 tables were set up for the banquet alone.
My father and I were placed at a table, and the table was full of old folks who knew me, and they all praised me for being promising, being admitted to university, and definitely having a bright future after graduation.
After the wedding ceremony, my uncle took my cousin and sister-in-law to toast from table to table, and when I came to our table, my father poured wine into the cup early, put down his chopsticks, and waited for my uncle to come.
When he came to our table, my uncle first said a few polite words, and then toasted one by one, but did not salute my father.
There was a person at the table who didn't think it was a big deal, and asked Uncle why he didn't respect my father, Uncle smiled and said, I don't have to respect you first, my eldest brother is a rural boss, and he won't care about these rules, besides, this wine is very expensive today, and it can't be wasted.
After speaking, the uncle took his cousin and sister-in-law to another table, leaving his father to put down the wine glass, and it was not if he didn't put it down, since the uncle said that, his father hadn't moved the chopsticks again.
I couldn't stand it, so I wanted to leave with my father, but my father said, it's okay, you should eat you, if we leave now, wouldn't we slap your uncle in the face.
When the feast was over and most of the guests were leaving, I heard someone say to my uncle and aunt, "You husband and wife are really blessed, your son has married such a beautiful daughter-in-law, and your nephew is so talented and has been admitted to university, your family is really blessed."
Then I heard my aunt say in a weird way, it is naturally good to be admitted to university, but I don't know if I can find a good job, I see, it is difficult to come out of the countryside, if he really can't find it at that time, let his cousin arrange a job for him in the factory, and we can be regarded as helping their family.
As soon as the man heard his aunt's words, he didn't know what to reply, so he changed the topic and hurried away, but I could hear their conversation clearly from the sidelines.
I really didn't expect that my parents tried their best to let them live a good life, but now they only hope that my family will have a bad life, which is really good for their kindness.
It was also at this moment that I secretly vowed that in the future, I would definitely rely on my own efforts to get ahead, so that they would be impressed by me.
After returning home, my father worked alone in the courtyard for a long time, and after a while, he said, the world is different, we can't compare to others, it's us who have climbed high!
I know what my father meant, but I really can't find the right words to comfort my father, so I can only repeat silently in my heart, I must get ahead!
Later, with the support of the policy for college students, I started a small company with a few like-minded friends, and I usually drew design drawings and made websites for others, and I also made a lot of money.
After two or three years of development, many new employees have been recruited, and the company has changed from a rental house to a studio that can accommodate more than 100 people.
Later, with my own efforts, I bought a house in the city, married a daughter-in-law, and brought my parents to the city to support the elderly.
However, according to my father, my uncle has been going downhill in recent years, and last year, he also closed a clothing store.
I think too, now there are clothing stores everywhere in the county, and e-commerce has also developed, and Uncle is still the same as before, if he doesn't make changes, he will definitely not survive.
My father said that this is only part of the reason, the most important thing is that after the uncle saw that he had not made money for the past two years, he changed the source of goods, the quality was not good, and the price was expensive, so he lost a lot of old customers.
I am not surprised that the uncle failed, my father also said that my cousin has been staying at home since he got married, and he has never gone out to work, and he lives on the little money that the uncle earned for him.
Because of this, his sister-in-law quarreled with him a lot, and divorced several times, but she was stopped by both parents, and she is still unemployed.
As I was talking, my father suddenly told me that my uncle called him a few days ago and said that he wanted to ask him to go fishing with him, but he hadn't been back for a long time, and wanted me to accompany him back to visit relatives and see old friends.
There was nothing big in the company, so I went back with my father, and I don't know where my cousins and sisters-in-law heard that we were going back, and as soon as we entered the door with the front foot, they carried a carton of milk to our door.
My cousin said straight to the point, hoping that I could arrange a position for him and his cousin-in-law in my company, not too tired, and still have to earn money.
It's really hard for me to meet this requirement, our company needs to be skilled, to put it mildly, my cousin didn't go to college, except for playing games on the computer, he can't write programs to make design drawings.
I didn't say yes to my cousin, he took my cousin-in-law and left my house with a scolding scold, and at about seven o'clock in the evening, my uncle and aunt came to my door with fruits and gifts.
After seeing me, my aunt said to me, eldest nephew, what your cousin said in the afternoon, don't take it to heart, he is like this, he is used to going straight, I apologize to you on his behalf.
Then the uncle and aunt sat down, and after chatting for a while, the uncle suddenly asked me how the company has been running recently, and I said decently, it's okay, the competition is relatively large, and I can't make much money.
Then the uncle said, then you are also more rich than us, and the uncle came today for another purpose, that is, to borrow 100,000 yuan from you, I will first plate this shop and change it into a delicatessen, I think it will be better.
Listening to my uncle tell me about his plan, I just felt that my uncle was getting worse and worse as he got older, and there were still few delicatessen in the town? Besides, if he still wanted to fool around like before, he didn't know where to lose.
I rejected my uncle on the grounds that the company's recent performance was not good, although the uncle didn't say anything, but I could see his face and know that he was uncomfortable.
Don't blame me for the reality, it's just that I know that the money will be wasted, why should I lend it out to find myself unhappy, and just let them taste my original taste, so that they don't forget how they started when they have money anymore.
