An ordinary college student, the family conditions are not bad
It was a sunny morning, and I was standing in the living room of my uncle's house, anxious. I confronted my uncle and cautiously uttered my request for a loan. My uncle is my mother's younger brother. We usually have a good relationship, but I never asked him to do that.
"Uncle, I still have five thousand short of tuition for the next semester, I ...... Can I borrow it from you? I'll pay it back to you when I graduate and work. My voice was trembling, and I knew how serious the request was. Awkward.
Uncle frowned, was silent for a while, and shook his head, "Haohao, you know that I don't have much money now, and your uncle may be better off there." ”
I froze there, with mixed feelings. I don't want to ask for help, but I can't do anything about it.
After leaving my uncle's house, I went to my uncle's house with a sense of disappointment and unease. My uncle is my father's older brother. He is usually reticent but always willing to help his family.
"Uncle, I'm ......" I was able to open my mouth when my uncle interrupted me.
"I know, it's a matter of tuition, don't worry, I'll help you solve it. My uncle said, taking out a stack of bills from a drawer and handing it to me.
I shed tears of gratitude and express my gratitude to you. At that moment, I vowed to study hard in the future and repay my uncle's kindness.
As the days passed, I studied hard at school and worked in a coffee shop, hoping to pay off my debts as soon as possible. After four years, I finally got my diploma and saved some money.
After graduating, I got a good job with a steady income. I decided to use my first savings to buy my uncle a small house to show my gratitude. I didn't tell my uncle about this plan, I wanted to surprise him.
However, on the day I was about to hand over the title deed to my uncle, something unexpected happened......
That day, I walked to my uncle's house excitedly with the title deed in my hand. When I got to the door, I took a few deep breaths to suppress the excitement in my heart. When I knocked on the door, I was greeted by my uncle's familiar and kind smile.
"Uncle, I have a surprise for you. I held the title deed tightly in my hand.
My uncle looked at me with doubts in his eyes. I took the certificate out of my bag and handed it to my uncle. "This is my gift to you, a small house, as a small reward for your help back then. ”
Uncle's face changed suddenly. He didn't accept the real estate certificate, but said in a deep voice: "Haohao, what do you mean? Do you think I helped you just to wait for you to repay me later?"
I was stunned, I didn't expect my uncle to react like this. "Uncle, it's not like this, I just want to ......"
Uncle interrupted me: "I know what you mean, but I don't need this, you can keep it for yourself, it will be useful later." ”
At that moment, I felt extremely embarrassed and a little lost. I didn't expect my uncle to refuse, I just wanted to repay him for his kindness.
Just then, there was a sharp knock on the door. My uncle and I looked at each other and were a little surprised. Uncle walked over and opened the door. Standing outside the door turned out to be his uncle.
"Uncle, I heard that Haohao bought you a house?" There was a hint of displeasure in the uncle's tone.
The uncle shook his head: "He meant this, but I didn't accept it." ”
My uncle looked at me with a complicated expression. "You bought your uncle a house, but what about me? I told you to go to your uncle. ”
I was confused by my uncle's words. "Uncle, I ......"
The uncle was obviously really angry: "Although I didn't lend you money at the beginning, I gave you direction, and now that you have the ability, have you forgotten me?"
I felt very conflicted and confused. I never wanted to choose between my uncle and my uncle, but now my uncle's attitude makes me feel terrible.
At this moment, the atmosphere at home became awkward. I stood there, not knowing what to say. The uncle was silent, without any emotion on his face.
Uncle seemed to be waiting for my response, but I really didn't know what to do. I felt helpless and aggrieved. I just wanted to thank the people who helped me, but I didn't expect it to turn out like this.
Just as the atmosphere was getting tense, the sound of cars came from outside. It's my mom back. When her mother came in, she was surprised to see such a scene.
"What's the matter?" Mom's voice was full of doubt.
I tried to explain, but I swallowed the words again. This kind of family dispute makes me feel very uncomfortable. Uncle look
He looked at his mother and calmed down a bit: "It's nothing, we're just discussing Haohao's affairs." ”
Mom clearly sensed that something was wrong with the atmosphere. She turned to me and said, "Haohao, what's going on?"
I hesitated for a while, but finally told my mother what had happened. I told my uncle about buying a house and mentioned his dissatisfaction.
When my mother heard this, the expression on her face became complicated. She glanced at her uncle, then at her uncle, and said softly: "The family can handle the affairs of the family, and outsiders are not allowed to interfere." ”
The uncle seemed a little dissatisfied, but under the watchful eye of his mother, he did not say anything more. The uncle was silent, as if none of this had anything to do with him.
The atmosphere was still tense, and I felt like the whole room was depressing. I stood up and broke the awkward silence: "I'm going for a walk." ”
Walking on the street, the cool breeze was blowing, and I felt lost in my heart. I just wanted to do something good, but I didn't expect it to happen.
I don't know how long I walked, but it was already dark. I stopped in front of a small shop and bought a bottle of water. I sat on a bench on the side of the road and thought quietly.
At this time, the phone rang. It was my best friend Xiao Li who called. "Haohao, what's wrong? ”
I told Xiao Li what happened today. He was silent for a moment before he said: "You shouldn't be bothered by these contradictions, everything you do is done with good intentions, and other people's reactions are beyond your control." ”
Xiao Li's words gave me some comfort. Yes, everything I did was out of gratitude to my uncle, and I wasn't wrong.
After hanging up, I decided to go home. Back home, the atmosphere at home was still tense. I saw my mother and uncle arguing quietly while my uncle sat on the couch with a blank face.
I took a deep breath and walked over. "Uncle, uncle, mother, I have something to say. ”
All three looked at me, and I said firmly, "I bought this house out of gratitude to my uncle." Uncle, I also appreciate your advice at the time, but I never thought of reciprocating with material things. Second, I hope that our family can be harmonious and not have conflicts because of these things. ”
My uncle looked at me, and the expression on his face slowly softened. He sighed and said, "Maybe I'm too concerned." ”
My mother came over and patted me on the shoulder: "Hao Hao is right, we are a family, and we shouldn't be angry because of these things." ”
I turned to my uncle and said, "Uncle, I still bought the house, but I will keep it for myself, and I will always remember your help." ”
The uncle finally showed a hint of expression
He smiled and nodded, as if he had lifted a heavy burden. "Haohao, you have grown up and become sensible. ”
At that moment, I felt the warmth and understanding of home. Although the process was bumpy, at least we could sit together and talk.
The next day, I decided to meet an important person, my supervisor, Professor Zhang. Professor Zhang gave me a lot of help and guidance during my university years, and I have always respected him.
When I arrived at the school, I knocked on the door of Professor Zhang's office. Professor Zhang smiled kindly when he saw me. "Haohao, remember to visit the teacher after graduation, that's good. ”
I reported to Professor Zhang about my work after graduation and what happened at home yesterday. After hearing this, Professor Zhang pondered for a moment and said, "Life is like a journey, you will meet all kinds of people and things, and every choice and experience will become a part of your life. ”
Professor Zhang's words touched me deeply. I realized that no matter what difficulties and challenges I encountered, it was an opportunity for me to grow.
After leaving school, I decided to check out the house I had bought for my uncle. Standing in front of that small, unrenovated house, I imagined what it would look like in the future. This house is not only my gratitude to my uncle, but also a new beginning in my life.
I decided to decorate the house myself. Although I have very little experience in renovation, I want to build it myself and make it a part of my life.
Over the next few months, I started renovating the house while I worked. I learned a lot about renovation and tried to do some simple renovation work on my own.
During this time, I invited a few friends and colleagues to help. They were all happy to help me and together we painted the walls, installed the lights, and laid the floors. While the process was challenging, it was also fulfilling.
Towards the end of the renovation, I decided to host a small party to invite family and friends to see my new home. I specially invited my uncle and aunt in the hope that in this way, my family can feel my heart.
On the day of the party, all my family and friends came. Everyone sat around the newly renovated living room, talking and laughing. I saw that my uncle and uncle were also talking, with smiles on their faces. At that moment, I felt very satisfied and happy.
In the evening, after everyone was gone, I sat alone in the living room. I reflect on the experience of the past few months. Every challenge, every choice, has made me grow a lot.
Just as I was immersed in my thoughts, my phone rang. This is an unknown number. I picked up the phone and said, "Hey, who am I......"
An unexpected message came from the other end of the phone, which made my mood fluctuate a lot again.
The lawyer's voice came from the other end of the line. He told me that one of my distant relatives died suddenly, leaving behind an inheritance, and I turned out to be one of the beneficiaries.
I was shocked. I didn't expect such luck that I can't even remember what this distant relative looked like.
The lawyer explained that the relative had no direct descendants and had chosen several distant relatives as heirs to the estate. This inheritance includes not only a significant amount of money, but also several properties.
After hanging up, I sat there and couldn't calm down for a long time. This unexpected inheritance was a huge change for me. I can do a lot with the money and even change my life and my family's lives.
But I soon realized that money could also create new problems. I remembered the family conflict that had occurred over the house before, and I was worried that this inheritance would cause discord among the family members again.
After much consideration, I decided not to rush to tell my family the news. I need to make a smart plan to deal with this inheritance.
A few days later, I went to see a lawyer. We discussed the issue of inheritance at length, and I expressed my intentions. I want to invest some of my money to ensure financial security in the future; The other part goes to charity to help those in need.
With the help of my lawyer, I gradually transferred the estate to my own account and started my investment plan. At the same time, I also contacted several charities and started my philanthropic journey.
It was at this time that some changes took place in my family. Uncle and uncle seem to have completely let go of their previous contradictions. They started coming to my house more and more, and the atmosphere in the house became more harmonious.
One night, as my family sat around, I decided to tell them the good news. When I told me about the lineage, everyone looked surprised.
I quickly explained my intentions and told them that I intended to use the money for investment and charity. I also stressed that family harmony is more important than any wealth, and I don't want this money to affect our relationship.
My mother stood up first, walked to my side, and hugged me tightly: "Haohao, you have really grown up and become sensible." ”
Uncle Uncle also showed a happy smile. They expressed their full support for my decision and thanked me for not letting money interfere with family harmony.
At that moment, I felt happier than ever. I know that no matter what decision I make, my family will support me.
The days passed peacefully and happily. I have made some small achievements in investing, and my philanthropic acts have been recognized by the society.
After going through so much, I have come to understand that the most important thing in life is not wealth and material things, but the understanding and support between family members. There you have these
