Child, studying hard has become my only way out
However, fate always seems to play tricks on people. After the college entrance examination, I received an acceptance letter from a university I liked. It was supposed to be a time to celebrate together as a family, but the high cost of tuition put our family in a difficult situation. My parents were ordinary farmers and didn't save much money all year round. I took the thin acceptance letter and had mixed feelings.
In our family, my uncle was relatively wealthy. He did business in the city and lived a wealthy life. So, his father brazenly borrowed money from him. I remember it was a rainy afternoon. The father walked into his uncle's house with his head bowed. I stood outside the door and could see my father's humble and helpless expression through the glass window. The uncle sat on the couch with a cigarette in his hand. Hearing his father's intention, he frowned and said coldly: "It's not that I don't want to help, it's just that business is not doing well now, and the funds are tied up with the goods." There really is no extra money left. ”
At that moment, I saw my father's embarrassment and loss. He walked out of his uncle's house silently, his back looking particularly lonely. I know he's not one to ask for help easily. This time, he was really driven into a helpless situation.
Just when we were about to despair, my uncle lent a helping hand. He wasn't rich, just a fruit vendor who set up a stall in the town. But when he heard what had happened to me, he didn't hesitate to pull out his savings for years—the money he intended to use for retirement. He stuffed the money into my hand and only said one sentence: "Child, study hard, you will have a good future, don't forget to come back and see us old bones." ”
At that moment, I burst into tears. I secretly vowed to study hard and live up to my uncle's expectations.
A few years later, I graduated and got a good job. I worked hard, saved money, and finally bought a house in the city. I would like to give this house to my uncle as a token of my gratitude to him.
However, on the day I was about to transfer the house to my uncle, he suddenly came to the door. He looked at me with a smile on his face and said, "Xiaoqiang, I heard that you are doing well now and have bought a house in the city. When you were in school, it wasn't that your uncle didn't help you, but that he also had uncle's hardships, and since you succeeded, you couldn't forget your uncle. ”
I looked at my uncle's hypocritical smile and felt uncomfortable. I said coldly, "Uncle, you really helped me back then, and I will always remember that love." But this house was intended to be given to my uncle, who helped me in my most difficult time. "I can't give anything in return. ”
The uncle's face suddenly became ugly. He glared at him and said, "Why are you so ungrateful? I am your own uncle! Can you live without me?"
I sneered and replied, "Uncle, I will keep your kindness in my heart." But this house is my commitment and gratitude to my uncle. If you really need help, I'll do my best to help you. But this house, please don't "don't make any decisions." ”
The uncle left angrily. I know I might offend him, but I don't regret it. Because in my heart, true goodness is not measured by money. My uncle's selfless help is something I will never forget.
Later, I transferred the ownership of the house to my uncle. He looked at me with tears in his eyes, but he couldn't say a word. I held his hand tightly, my heart filled with gratitude and respect. I know that this house is not only a reward for my uncle, but also a testimony to the deep friendship between us.
My uncle hasn't come to my house since. I don't know if he holds a grudge against me, but I don't care anymore. Because I know that in this world, true loved ones and friends are those who are willing to lend a helping hand when you are in trouble. They don't ask for anything in return, they just want you to live a better life. I will always cherish this friendship and do my best to repay them.
