"Sanyong, I want to ...... I want to discuss something with you?" the uncle, who has always spoken simply and directly, somehow stuttered today.
"You...... Can you give me a pension? I will give you all the three houses in my family and 500,000 yuan in savings. Uncle looked at me with a sincere face.
The eldest aunt eavesdropped in the doorway of the bedroom.
"That'......," I didn't know how to answer him.
To be honest, it was no accident that Uncle made this request. Since the death of his only child, his relatives have privately persuaded him to choose one of my three brothers to succeed.
But Uncle said at that time, "Wait and see!"
Half a month ago, he accidentally sprained his back while taking a shower in the bathroom. Although it is not a big deal, but daily activities, you still need someone to help.
The eldest aunt was too thin to move him. I had no choice but to call me, I didn't say a word, simply packed a few clothes, and lived at my uncle's house.
Now my uncle is under my care, and he is almost fine.
So, today my aunt specially cooked and cooked me a table of good dishes. I thought it was for thanks, but they made this request.

Actually, house and money are quite tempting to me.
My family is in the countryside, and my parents are old. In the past few years, the eldest brother and the second brother have started a family one after another, not only draining their parents' lifelong efforts, but also owing a lot of foreign debts.
Now my eldest brother, second brother, and my father are all working on the construction site, just to pay off those foreign debts as soon as possible.
As for me, I have been delivering takeaways in this city for 3 years, and all the money I earn is contributed to my family except for daily pocket expenses.
I'm 25 years old this year, and my girlfriend has asked me several times, "When are you going to marry her home?"
I wanted to, too, but the situation in my family simply didn't allow it. Not to mention buying a house, you can't even get the bride price money.
Last night, my girlfriend gave me an ultimatum: "I'll give you another week for the two of us." ”
I understand what she means, she just wants me to force my family to borrow money again and marry her as soon as possible.
The money my family borrowed before has not been paid off, and if I borrow it now, there is a high probability that I will not be able to borrow it.
Therefore, seeing that the uncle was already able to take care of himself, I proposed to leave.
I have already planned to work for a few more years while I am young, day and night, and save money to buy a house and marry a daughter-in-law.
Who knew that such a big piece of pie fell from the sky, and I was a little confused!
"Sanyong, don't worry, how many days will you think about it?" The uncle saw that I was embarrassed and patted my hands.

On the way to the next day, I was thinking about it. Because of distraction, I accidentally spilled the customer's meal.
The customer didn't say a word, and directly gave me a bad review, and the day was in vain.
Once a person is distracted, he will not be able to do anything well. Therefore, I have to give an explanation to my uncle about this matter.
That night, I bought a train ticket back to my hometown, and by the way, I informed my eldest brother, second brother, and my father, so that they could all come back and discuss it together.
"Uncle is just eccentric, and he thinks about the third child in any good thing. The eldest brother first expressed his dissatisfaction.
Who can't be tempted by this windfall?
"That is, from childhood to adulthood, every time the uncle comes back, he will secretly buy a lot of things for the third child. The second brother echoed.
The attitude of the two elder brothers does not need to be asked, and they also know that their hearts are unbalanced.
Not to mention savings, even 3 houses also require us to struggle for two lifetimes.
"I haven't promised Uncle yet, if you have any ideas, you can bring them up. I said lightly.
The eldest brother and the second brother looked at my dad and then at my mom, but they were embarrassed to say it after all.

"Mom and Dad, what do you think? If I accept my uncle's property, I may have to pay more attention to them from now on. "I asked my parents for their opinions.
My dad smoked a cigarette and kept silent.
My mother said aggrievedly: "The son we raised with great difficulty, just like this, I ...... to send others to the end of their lives."
Hearing this, I found that the eldest brother and the second brother all lowered their heads.
Although my family is not wealthy, my parents love us very much. We love our parents too.
"Third brother, or you will refuse the uncle! Big deal, next year, your second brother and my father and I will go abroad to work, and the money I earn in a year will be enough for you to start a family." ”
The eldest brother thought about it for a long time and finally made up his mind.
In fact, there are a lot of people here who go abroad to work, but my parents are reluctant to let us go.
"The third brother, what the eldest brother said is right, our parents will raise us, and we have to do our filial piety. ”
In the face of money and affection, my family's choice is always the latter.

"Otherwise, let's promise your uncle! He and your aunt are quite pitiful. My dad finally spoke.
He told us that when my cousin died, my uncle and aunt were worse off than dead.
If it weren't for the fact that their grandparents were here and needed their support, there was a high probability that they would have followed their cousin at that time.
"Uncle is your elder, and you all have the obligation to support him well. My dad said solemnly.
That night, my dad called my uncle and aunt.
"Brother and sister-in-law, my children are also yours, from today onwards, you can call them, don't be polite. ”
See my dad like this.
Uncle also expressed his position.
3 houses, one nephew, considering that I am not young, it is time to start a family.
The next day, my uncle led me to go through the transfer procedures and gave me one of the houses that had been renovated.
As for the other two sets, when will the eldest brother and second brother have time and when will they go to the housing authority.
When the dust settled, my heart was much more relaxed.
It's not because of the marriage room, but because of this strong family affection.

Later, I heard my aunt say, "Actually, after your cousin died, we thought about letting you pass to my house first. But as a parent, who is willing to give the child he raised to others.
If it weren't for your uncle's fall, we wouldn't have made such a ridiculous request?"
Look at it, aren't uncles and aunts a pair of good parents?
It's just that their lives are thin, and their cousins have a short life.
However, now that they have three more children at once, isn't it a blessing!
Uncle always said: "Money is something outside the body, only love is true." ”
Maybe for his age, his view of wealth is a little light!
Or maybe deep down in his heart, he has always longed for his children and grandchildren to be around his knees!
No matter what, from now on, I will be filial to them.
