I am the youngest daughter in the family, and I have experienced an emotional ordeal in this seemingly peaceful family. My family's story may not be so glamorous, but it is the most real scene in life.
My name is Xiaoyu, an ordinary girl, and I am also the "bun" of this family. My parents were ordinary farmers, working diligently to maintain the family's food and clothing. Elder brother Dawei works outside and works hard, adding some warmth to the family's life. Dawei's wife, that is, my sister-in-law, is a cheerful girl, named Xiaoli, and Dawei is a well-known pair in the village, Dawei is working hard outside, Xiaoli is diligent and thrifty at home, and the two have been working hard for the future of the family.
The origin of the story starts from ten years ago. At that time, I had just been admitted to university, and my family had exhausted all their savings to support my education. It was at this time that my brother David borrowed a sum of money from me, saying that he had some difficulties in cash flow and asked me to help. I didn't think about it, so I agreed. 150,000 yuan, although it is not a small amount for our family, but for my brother's career, I am willing to pay.
Unexpectedly, this money has become a big stone in my heart. Ten years have passed, and my brother and they have not paid me back the money. At first, I didn't pay attention to it, thinking that my family should help each other, but I didn't expect this incident to become a big pain in the family relationship in the future.
It wasn't until recently that I heard that they were ready to buy a house, and I started muttering to myself. Will this money just be wasted? Am I really willing to do it? Although there are no major problems in the family's life, the 150,000 yuan is a huge amount of money for an ordinary rural family. Thinking about this, the uneasiness in my heart pervaded even more.
On this day, my brother Dawei called from home, saying that he wanted to meet me and asked me to go to his house. I hesitated, but agreed. Presumably for the money, I thought to myself.
I came to my brother's house, pushed the door open, and Xiaoli was busy in the house. Seeing me, she showed a kind smile, "Xiaoyu, you are here, sit down, I will pour you a glass of water." I nodded, and sat down on the couch in the living room, feeling a little uneasy.
It didn't take long for David to come back, looking tired. When he saw me, his brow furrowed slightly, and he seemed to be a little embarrassed. "Xiaoyu, you sit here, I have something to discuss with you. There was a hint of hesitation in Dawei's tone.
"Brother, if you have anything, just say it, I will try my best to help. "I tried to make myself sound calm, but the doubts in my heart grew stronger.
"That's right, Xiaoyu, Xiaoli and I have been looking at houses recently, preparing to buy a house, you know, we have been married for so many years, we have been renting a house, and now it is almost time to have our own house. David said with some hesitation.
I nodded and motioned for him to continue.
"But now there's a problem...... It's about the money you lent me. David paused, looking a little embarrassed.
"Brother, I've been thinking about this money, after all, after so many years, I also need this money. There was a hint of resoluteness in my tone.
"I know, I know. Dawei nodded again and again, "We don't plan to pay you back, it's just that the recent matter of this house has made it a little difficult in terms of capital turnover...... However, I have an idea, you can listen to it. ”
"Say it. "I was a little nervous, I didn't know what he wanted.
"We plan to give you a generous gift at the wedding, which can be regarded as making up for the inconsiderate treatment over the years. I will try to solve the house matter, you can rest assured. Dawei's tone was full of sincerity.
When I listened, my heart fluctuated. The tendencies and uneasiness of the past ten years seem to have been released at this moment. But I am a little unwilling, is this generous gift worthy of my ten years of waiting?
"Brother, this ......" I looked at Dawei and Xiaoli with some hesitation, and my heart was full of contradictions.
Seeing that I hesitated, Dawei hurriedly said: "Xiaoyu, this gift is not something we can give easily, you see, we have always regarded you as our own person, and your business is our business." In the past ten years, you have not had any conflicts with us because of this money, and we keep this affection in our hearts. ”
Xiaoli also followed and persuaded: "Yes, Xiaoyu, think about it, we have not treated you badly over the years, and this gift can be regarded as an expression of our hearts." ”
I fell into deep thought, my heart was in a mess, I knew that what they said was right, and they were really good to me, but the 150,000 yuan was my hard work for many years. I can't give up, and I don't want to make up for it with a generous gift.
"Wait, I'll think about it. "I tried to stall for time and wanted to give myself a little bit of room to calm down.
Dawei looked at Xiaoli, then at me again, and sighed softly, "Okay, Xiaoyu, tell us when you think about it, we won't force you." ”
I looked at them with gratitude and ambivalence. Although these two siblings are a little deficient, they are also part of my family, and I can feel their kindness. However, this money means a lot to me. What should I do?
When I left my brother's house, I was in a heavy heart. On the way, I kept thinking about whether I should accept their generous gifts. I know that not everyone has such an opportunity, but I am reluctant to pay for it. How do I choose?
Back at home, I met my parents, who were busy in the yard. I went up to them and told them what had happened today.
"Xiaoyu, are you telling the truth?" my mother looked at me in surprise, "After all these years, they haven't even returned the money to you?"
I nodded, "yes, Mom and Dad, I didn't expect that." ”
The father frowned and muttered for a moment, "This...... This money is indeed a lot for our family, do you want to think about it, after all, you have not lent it out in vain over the years. ”
Mother also said: "Yes, Xiaoyu, we don't want you to wronged yourself, but this 150,000 yuan is also a lot of money for us." ”
As I listened, I felt even more conflicted. My parents' words made me feel the preciousness of this money even more, but at the same time, my brother's kindness also made me feel warm. What should I do?
I couldn't sleep all night, and I was exhausted by the entanglements in my heart. The next morning, I decided to go to my brother and Xiaoli and talk to them properly.
When I came to their house, I saw that they were sorting out the materials for the house, looking busy. I knocked lightly on the door, and they looked up and saw me with a look of joy on their faces.
"Xiaoyu, you're here. Xiaoli smiled and said, "Sit down, what's the matter?"
I sat down and said slowly, "Actually, I've been thinking about the generous gift you said yesterday, and I'm grateful for your kindness, but I still feel a little uneasy. ”
Dawei listened, waved his hand and said: "Xiaoyu, don't think too much, our gift is not to repay debts, but a kind of heart we have for you." ”
Xiaoli also hurriedly agreed: "Yes, Xiaoyu, you can accept it with confidence, we don't want you to be wronged." ”
I was silent for a moment, but finally said, "I understand your good intentions, but this money is too important to me, and I want you to think of other solutions." ”
They looked at me with a slight look of frustration on their faces, but eventually nodded in understanding.
"Okay, Xiaoyu, since you think so, we won't force you anymore. David sighed softly, looking a little disappointed.
When I saw their expressions, I was a little reluctant, but more of a relief. Maybe that's the best thing for me. I know that although this matter has been temporarily resolved, all kinds of contradictions and entanglements in the family are not easy to eliminate.
The matter is over for the time being, but the atmosphere in the house has become a little dreary. There seems to be a subtle change in the relationship between me and my brother, and although there is no obvious contradiction, the distance between us seems to be getting farther and farther away.
As the days passed, the atmosphere at home showed no signs of improving. I started to become more reticent and no longer shared the moments of my life with my brother and them like I used to. They also gradually became estranged, and every time they met, they seemed a little raw.
One day, I received a strange phone call, and a childish voice came from the phone: "Sister, are you at home? ”
I was stunned for a moment, and then I realized that this was a call from my nephew Xiao Ming. I hurriedly asked, "Xiao Ming, what's wrong?"
Xiao Ming cried and said, "Sister, I quarreled with my parents, and they ignored me, I am so sad." ”
When I heard this, my heart tightened, and I immediately comforted: "Don't be sad, Xiao Ming, my sister will go over to look for you, okay? You wait for me at home." ”
I hung up the phone and hurried to my brother's house. When I came to their door, I saw Xiao Ming sitting alone in front of the door, his tears had not yet dried, and he looked heartbroken. My heart was sour, and I hurriedly stepped forward to comfort me.
"Xiao Ming, what's wrong? Don't be sad. I picked up Xiao Ming, patted him gently on the back, and comforted.
Xiao Ming raised his head, tears slid down, and his voice was choked: "Sister, Mom and Dad...... They ignored me. ”
When I heard this, my heart ached, how could this be? I hugged Xiao Ming and led him into the house.
"Dawei, Xiaoli, what's wrong with Xiaoming?" I saw my brother and wife sitting in the living room, their expressions solemn, and my heart was a little uneasy.
Dawei looked at me and said with a wry smile: "Xiaoyu, Xiao Ming has been a little naughty recently, we criticized him a few words, and he ran out, and now he refuses to come back." ”
When I heard this, my heart sank, although Xiao Ming's child was a little naughty, he was also the baby of the family, how could he be snubbed like this?
"Dawei, Xiaoli, how can you treat Xiao Ming like this?" I said a little angrily, "He's just a child, it's normal to be a little naughty, you can't treat him like this." ”
Dawei and Xiaoli exchanged a look, and Dawei said bitterly: "Xiaoyu, you don't know, what happened at home recently......"
Before he finished his sentence, I already understood what he meant. I felt a sadness in my heart, the conflict in the family actually affected Xiao Ming, which made me extremely heartbroken.
I held Xiao Ming's hand tightly, tears rolling in my eyes, and I decided that I must fight for Xiao Ming to have some rights and interests, and I couldn't let him grow up in such an atmosphere.
"Dawei, Xiaoli, I know you have been having some difficulties recently, but Xiao Ming is a child, he needs your love and understanding, you can't treat him like this. I said in a firm tone.
David and Xiaoli glanced at each other, and finally let go of the worries in their hearts, and they nodded silently in agreement.
I felt a sense of relief knowing that this was just a small wave in the family, and that as long as we understood and supported each other, everything would be fine. My brother and I discussed it and decided to work together to solve the problems in the family, so that Xiao Ming could enjoy a warm and happy growth environment.
Since then, my brother and I have gradually warmed up and the atmosphere in the family has become harmonious. We worked together to resolve conflicts and problems in the family, and regained trust and affection for each other. Xiao Ming also gradually understood the importance of family and became more sensible and well-behaved.
Time passed quietly, and the days in the family returned to peace. My brother and I gradually returned to what they used to be, the communication between each other became more harmonious, and the atmosphere in the house became more harmonious.
One day, I received an invitation to a wedding, which was the wedding of my cousin Xiao Ming. I couldn't help but feel emotionally moved when I thought of the immature child he used to be, and now he is getting married.
My family and I rushed to the wedding site, and it was a lively scene. Xiao Ming was wearing a suit, smiling, standing with his bride, looking extremely happy.
"Xiao Ming, congratulations!" I smiled and stepped forward to congratulate.
Xiao Ming hugged me and smiled: "Sister, thank you, without your support, I may not be where I am today." ”
My heart was warm, looking at Xiao Ming and his bride, I felt the warmth and happiness of the family.
At the wedding, relatives and friends came to the stage to bless the newlyweds, and the words of blessing were like brilliant lights, illuminating the entire wedding scene. I look at their happiness, and my heart is full of joy and emotion.
"Sister Xiaoyu, you can also say a few words. Xiao Ming took my hand and said with a smile.
I smiled, stepped forward and took the microphone, and my heart was full of emotion: "Xiao Ming, do you know, I feel very relieved to see you so happy." Family is the most important pillar of our lives, and I hope that you and your bride will run this home together and make it full of warmth and happiness. ”
After I finished speaking, there was warm applause in the field, and I was very relieved to see that Xiao Ming and his bride were full of happy smiles on their faces.
After the wedding, my family and I saw off the newlyweds and returned home, and the atmosphere at home was exceptionally warm. My parents set a sumptuous dinner in the living room, and we sat around as a family, savoring delicious food and chatting about homely cooking.
"Xiaoyu, seeing that Xiao Ming is married, and you are also older, our family should also find a good home for you. My mother said to me with a smile.
I smiled and shook my head: "Mom, I'm not in a hurry to get married now, I think there are still a lot of things to do." ”
Father also said: "Yes, Xiaoyu, you are still young, you should develop your career well, and take your time in the future." ”
When I listened, my heart warmed, and the love of my family made me feel extremely happy. I know that no matter what happens in the future, my family will always be my strongest support, and their support and encouragement will be my motivation to move forward.
The days are gradually dull in the company of his family, but they are full of happiness and warmth. I grew up in this atmosphere, trying hard to chase my dreams, and feeling the love and support given to me by my family.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, another few years have passed. Life at home is still peaceful and peaceful, I am working hard outside the home, and my parents are still silently supporting me at home. Although the years have carved the traces of time on their faces, their smiles are still as warm as ever.
One day, I received an unexpected phone call from my brother Dawei. His voice sounded a little anxious: "Xiaoyu, are you at home?" I have something to discuss with you. ”
When I heard this, I was shocked and quickly asked, "Dawei, what's wrong?"
Dawei sighed and said, "That's the case, my family has been in some trouble recently, and I need a sum of money...... Can you help?"
When I listened, my heart tightened, and I understood that Dawei was in trouble, but I myself was not rich and my ability was limited.
"Dawei, I also have some difficulties, can you wait a little, I will try to find a way to help you. I said in a somewhat embarrassed tone.
Dawei was silent for a moment, and finally said, "Okay, I know it's not easy for you, I'll think of a way." ”
I hung up, worried. It has always been a tradition for our family to support each other, but now I can't help them, and I feel a little guilty.
A few days later, I received a message that my father was sick and hospitalized. I hurried to the hospital and was heartbroken to see my father's pale and thin appearance.
"Dad, what's wrong with you? Do you feel better?" I asked anxiously, holding my father's hand.
My father smiled bitterly and said, "Xiaoyu, I don't know what's wrong with my old bones, I always feel unwell recently." ”
When I listened, my heart ached, my father has always been the breadwinner of the family, and his health is the thing I am most worried about.
The doctor came to check on him and said that there was something wrong with his father's body and he needed to be hospitalized for a period of observation. I comforted my father a few words, and then went to my brother Dawei to discuss.
"David, Dad is sick, the cost of the hospital may be high, I need your help. I said.
When Dawei heard this, his brows furrowed, he was silent for a moment, and finally said: "Xiaoyu, I also have some difficulties here, but I will find a way to make money, don't worry." ”
When I listened, my heart warmed, and although David also had difficulties, he still agreed to help me. The mutual support between my family members made me feel extremely warm and touched.
As the days passed, my father slowly recovered in the hospital, and the family's life gradually returned to its former peace. I know that no matter what difficulties I encounter in the future, my family will always be my strongest support, and their love and support will accompany me through every difficult moment.
