My name is Zhang Xiaoqing and I am 25 years old. I helped my parents run a small restaurant in town. Our family has always valued filial piety and family ethics, but there was a recent incident that bothered me.
There was an 8-year estrangement between my dad and my uncle. The relationship between them was not very close, although I remember my uncle occasionally visiting our house when I was a child, but gradually the contact became very rare. I've heard my dad say that this estrangement stems from some family trivialities and disagreements.
However, just recently, the uncle's son was getting married. When the news reached our family, I thought my dad would be excited, because such an occasion should be a good opportunity for relatives to get together. However, Dad did not receive the invitation. I looked at the disappointment on his face, and I felt something unpleasant.
That night, I was sitting in the restaurant sorting out the accounts, and my father came over and asked with some hesitation: "Xiaoqing, do you think I should go to my uncle's son's wedding?"
I put down the work in my hand, looked at my father seriously and said, "Dad, you are a relative, and my uncle's son is married, so it stands to reason that you should be invited." I feel that you should go, no matter what happens, it should not affect family relationships because of these little things. ”
Dad was silent for a moment, then nodded and said, "You're right, Xiaoqing. Family relationships are more important than these things. I'm going to participate, if not for anything else, but to maintain the friendship between the families. ”
I looked at my father's firm determination, and my heart warmed. Perhaps, this wedding will be an opportunity to reconnect with relatives. I secretly applauded my dad for his bravery and tolerance.
That night, my dad and I discussed getting ready to attend my uncle's son's wedding. Dad is in a much better mood, and I think this decision is the right one.
The next day, we started preparing early in the morning. Dad put on his best suit, his face beaming with joy and anticipation. I helped him straighten his tie and said with a smile, "Dad, you look so handsome today!"
Dad smiled and patted my hand and said, "It's all your credit, Xiaoqing." You can always give me the best advice. ”
We took a car together to the wedding site. When I got there, the scene was very lively. The uncle's family and relatives were all welcoming the guests, and the scene was in a festive atmosphere. We were warmly greeted into the venue.
The wedding went well, the bride and groom looked peaceful, and the father was smiling. As I watched this scene, my heart warmed and I felt that this decision was really the right one.
Halfway through the wedding, my uncle suddenly walked up to my dad and said with a somewhat complicated expression: "Xiaoqiang (Dad's name), I haven't seen you for many years, I'm very happy that you are here." ”
Dad smiled and nodded and said, "Uncle, this is as it should be." Of course, we want to congratulate you on your happy event. ”
The uncle looked at his father and seemed a little embarrassed to say, "I'm sorry, I didn't invite you to this wedding." Things are a little complicated. ”
Dad waved his hand and said, "None of this matters, the friendship between families is more important than anything else." ”
The uncle listened to his father's words, and his face showed a trace of gratitude and relief. He took his father's hand and said, "Xiaoqiang, our relationship is indeed a little estranged, but I am touched by your open-mindedness and tolerance. Thank you for coming to this important occasion. ”
Dad smiled and said, "That's as it should be." We are a family and should understand and support each other. ”
I watched the conversation between my father and uncle, and my heart warmed. The strength of family camaraderie and affection made me feel a deeper meaning. Perhaps, this wedding can really be the beginning of renewing family ties.

After the wedding, my dad and I went home. Dad was lamenting the significance of this wedding all the way, saying that it was a repair and reconstruction of family relationships.
When I got home, I poured my dad a cup of tea and said, "Dad, this wedding is really good, and our family relationship has also made some progress." ”
Dad nodded, sighed and said, "Yes, Xiaoqing, the maintenance of family relationships does require everyone's efforts. I also hope that the relationship between our family will be more harmonious. ”
At this time, the phone rang, and it was the uncle calling. Dad took the phone and listened for a while, with a worried expression on his face.
I asked curiously, "Dad, what's wrong with the call from my uncle?"
Dad pondered for a moment and said, "Uncle's family has been going on recently, and he wants me to help. ”
When I heard this, I immediately asked, "Dad, what are you going to do?"
Dad shook his head and said, "It's a bit complicated, I need to think about it." ”
I looked at my dad and knew he was struggling. At this time, the phone rang again, and it was the uncle's son calling.
Dad took the phone and listened for a while, the expression on his face became more serious. He said, "Okay, I got it, I'll think about it." ”
After hanging up the phone, my father looked at me and said, "Xiaoqing, my uncle's son needs help with something, and I'm struggling with whether to help him." ”
I listened and said comfortingly, "Dad, this is something that relatives should help each other." You can listen to them first and then make a decision. ”
Dad nodded, thinking. It may not seem simple, but I am sure that my father will make the right decision.

My dad and I have been thinking about how to deal with my uncle's request. A few days passed, and we received a call from my uncle, who asked us to come to his house and said that there were some things to discuss.
So, I went to my uncle's house with my father. The uncle's house was very neatly furnished, and his son and daughter-in-law were also there. When the uncle saw us, he said with a serious expression: "Xiaoqiang, Xiaoqing, thank you for coming." This time I have some troubles to ask you about. ”
Dad and I both said you don't need to be polite, and Uncle told us what happened. It turned out that the uncle's son ran a small company outside and had recently encountered some financial difficulties. He wants us to lend him a sum of money to get through it for a while.
I listened, and I hesitated. That's a lot of money, and our family isn't very wealthy. But looking at the expectations and worries of the uncle's family, I feel a little difficult to refuse.
Dad pondered for a moment and said, "Uncle, I understand your difficulties. I'll think about it. ”
Uncle repeatedly expressed his gratitude and said that he hoped that we could reply as soon as possible. We said goodbye and left my uncle's house and returned home.
Back at home, I discussed it with my dad. I said, "Dad, this is not a small amount of money, and our family is not very rich, do you think we can help them?"
Dad was silent for a while, and then said, "Xiaoqing, family friendship is more important than money. Although we also have difficulties, Uncle is our relative, they are in trouble now, and we should try our best to help. ”
When I heard that, I thought it was the right thing to do. I nodded and said, "Dad, I support your decision." We should do our best to help the uncle's family through this difficult time. ”
Dad looked at me with gratitude and firmness in his eyes: "Thank you, Xiaoqing. We'll do our best to help them. ”
I know that this decision will not be easy, but I am confident that we will be able to overcome the difficulties and maintain the friendship between the families.
(To be continued)
We decided to help the family through this difficult time. Dad and I discussed it and decided to lend them some of the money. So, we called Uncle and told him that we were willing to help them.
After receiving the call, the uncle said excitedly: "Xiaoqiang, Xiaoqing, thank you so much! This money means a lot to us." ”
I smiled and said, "Uncle, relatives should help each other." I hope you can get through this soon. ”
Uncle repeatedly expressed his gratitude and said that he would work hard to do everything well and live up to our trust.
A few days later, we transferred the funds to Uncle. The uncle's family was very grateful and thanked them again and again.
After a while, the uncle's son's company gradually got out of the predicament, and the economic situation gradually improved. My uncle and his family are full of gratitude to us and often come to our home to express their gratitude and care for us.
My dad and I watched my uncle's family come back together, and we felt relieved and happy. This help not only brought our family closer together, but also made us more aware of the importance of family affection and family relationships.
The camaraderie between families is priceless, and I am confident that our family will be more united and harmonious because of this experience. It also made me realize that no matter what difficulties I encounter, the support of my family and helping each other is the most important thing.
This is the end of the story, and my love and affection for the family has deepened. I hope that everyone's family relationship can be harmonious and happy, and we can get through the ups and downs of life together.
