My name is Liu Shuo, I grew up in my hometown, I am the second son in the family, and above me is the eldest brother, who is nearly ten years older than me.
It is said that my brother is half a father, there is nothing wrong with this, my parents are both factory workers, after I was born, they were busy with work, basically there is little time to take care of me, so the responsibility of taking care of me falls on the eldest brother.
When I hear my parents talk about it, I feel incredible, and my eldest brother, who was about 10 years old, was able to take care of me and let me thrive.
When I was six years old, my eldest brother graduated from junior high school, but instead of continuing to go to school, he chose to enter the factory where my parents worked, and became colleagues with my parents.
But the eldest brother did not agree, saying that he was now poor and white, at least until he could afford a house.
This is three years, when I graduated from elementary school, my eldest brother got married, and my sister-in-law was a colleague in my eldest brother's factory, and she was of the same age.
The eldest brother who was introduced to the sister-in-law by someone, after a period of getting along, both parties felt that the other party was someone who could be trusted.
So the eldest brother and sister-in-law got married naturally, and after the marriage, the two of them used the savings saved in those years to buy a house in the best location in our county and urban area.
Every weekend, my eldest brother will take my sister-in-law back to my parents' house to eat together, and he is also very concerned about my study, often admonishing me to study hard, and telling me that the technicians in their factory are good at studying so that they don't have to work so hard every day like them.
I firmly remembered my eldest brother's words, and told my eldest brother and sister-in-law that I would study harder in the future and become a technician after work.
My eldest brother and sister-in-law also laughed when they heard this, and encouraged me to be admitted to college, and my sister-in-law even said to me: "If you are admitted to college, your eldest brother and I will smash the pot and sell iron for you to go to college." ”
Hearing my sister-in-law's words, I turned my head to look at my eldest brother, and when my eldest brother saw that I was looking at him with inquiring eyes, he also smiled and said to me: "Yes, Xiaoshuo, if you are admitted to university, your eldest brother and sister-in-law will also sell iron for you to go to college." ”
As spring and autumn came, I had graduated from junior high school and been admitted to the city's key high school, and my eldest brother and sister-in-law had also welcomed their children, and I went to my eldest brother's house to see my newborn nephew before leaving for school.
When I arrived at my eldest brother's house, I put the supplements I bought for my sister-in-law on the table in the living room, then looked at my eldest brother and the child in his arms, and then asked, "How is my sister-in-law recovering?"
After hearing this, the eldest brother also replied: "The doctor said that he is recovering well and will be able to go to work normally next week, Xiaoshuo, come and see your nephew"
I took my nephew and held him in my arms, looked at the child's face and said, "This child is so good-looking, how many girls will be fascinated when he grows up in the future." ”
When my sister-in-law heard my words in the back room, she also came out of the room with a smile and said, "Okay, let's accept Xiao Shuoji's words, and our children will definitely like the little girl in the future." ”
Then I sat at my eldest brother's house for a while and chatted with my eldest brother and sister-in-law for a while, and then I took my leave.
When I left, my eldest brother sent me to the door, and stuffed a hundred yuan into my pocket and said: "This is what your sister-in-law meant, she sees that you are going to school in the city, and she is afraid that you will be too tired to study and your nutrition will not keep up, so the money specially prepared for you is deducted from my pocket money, and you will study hard in school, but don't be bitter about yourself, you must eat and study well, remember?"
When I heard my eldest brother's words, I was a little moved, so I smiled and said to my eldest brother, "I know, then I'll leave my eldest brother." ”
I went to the high school in the city, during which there was nothing to say, every day is to study and study, in order to live up to the expectations of my eldest brother and sister-in-law, I studied hard every day, and every exam was the top few in the school, and finally after three years of hard study day and night, I was admitted to a top university in China, and received an admission letter from it.
When I was immersed in the joy of being admitted to university, the reality gave me a hard slap, the sudden wave of layoffs made everyone in the family unemployed, and what was even worse was that my father was still ill at this time, and the remaining savings of the family were used to treat my father's illness, and there was no money to pay for my college tuition.
After thinking about it, I decided that I would not go to college anymore and go south with my eldest brother to find an opportunity, but when I told my eldest brother this idea that night, my eldest brother, who had always been gentle, became angry this time.
He said to me: "My eldest brother couldn't study back then, he could only go to work, you have such a good opportunity, you must go to college, otherwise you will only be like us in the future." ”
Then he told me not to worry about the tuition fee, and he would solve it.
It's hard for me to imagine how my eldest brother is going to pay for my tuition, so I have to persuade him to say that now my father has just finished surgery, and the family's savings are almost spent, don't waste the money on me, and my nephew will be of school age in two years, so I can't save some money for my nephew to go to school.
After that conversation, I waited for my eldest brother to take me with him when he went to the south, and I could also lighten the burden on the family.
But my eldest brother found me before leaving, and as soon as we met, he handed me an envelope, and I took it and saw that it was full of money.
The eldest brother saw what was in the envelope and spoke: "Xiaoshuo, I have inquired, this money is your tuition and living expenses for four years, you take it to study hard, and when you work and make money in the future, you have to honor your parents." ”
"Brother, where did you get the money, does my sister-in-law know?"
"You don't care where I come from, I can take it and go to school, don't worry at home, I have your sister-in-law." ”
I have forgotten how I got home later, but I only remember that I secretly swore in my heart that I would repay my eldest brother tenfold and hundredfold when I made money from work in the future.
And the eldest brother also set out on the road to the south the next day.
I only found out how my eldest brother got me the tuition fee when I went home for the first time after I went to college, and he sold the wedding house when he got married and replaced it with my college tuition, why did I know about it, because when I went home, I saw my sister-in-law and nephew living in my parents' house, and when I couldn't hide it anymore, my sister-in-law told the truth.
When I heard my sister-in-law's words, my vision was blurred, and I only remembered that I owed my eldest brother another amount.
In college, I worked part-time, did my best in every subject, and successfully found a company after graduating from college, and my industry also grew explosively in the first year or two after I joined, and I also had a lot of savings after two years of work.
The situation at home has also improved, my father's illness has also improved, and at the same time, the parents' monthly pension can be enough for their two elders to live, the eldest brother also returned to his hometown, and his sister-in-law opened a supermarket next to the primary school in the county, the family lives in the supermarket, and the nephew is about to graduate from primary school.
I originally wanted to use the money I earned in the past two years to buy a house in my city, because I calculated that my current money is just enough for me to pay the down payment on the house, but I suddenly thought of my eldest brother, and thought that my eldest brother bought a house for me, so I decided to sell a house for my eldest brother's family.
On the first holiday after making a decision, I drove back to my hometown, which is more than 300 kilometers away, and called my eldest brother on the way, who was also very happy when he heard that I was coming back, and said that when I came back, I would not leave tonight, and stay and let us have some wine and chat.
When I got home, I told my parents that I wanted to buy a suite for my eldest brother's family, and my parents agreed with my idea very much, and asked me if the money was enough, and if it was not enough, they would add more, I rejected my parents and said that I would go to see my eldest brother after the money was enough.
I haven't seen my eldest brother for three or four years, and when I was in college, my eldest brother went home once in my sophomore year, and the rest of the time he worked in other places, and he didn't go home at all, so I haven't seen my eldest brother for a long time.
When I saw the eldest brother, I didn't dare to recognize this person as the eldest brother, and my white cheeks turned black.
After my brother met and exchanged a few words of greeting, I explained my intention, and my eldest brother refused again and again after hearing it, saying that I still have a lot of money to use, and I didn't buy a house just for you to go to school, but also to treat my father's illness.
When I heard this, I said to my eldest brother: "Don't say why, I came back today to buy a house for your family, if you don't go with me, I will ask my sister-in-law to go with me." ”
In the end, my eldest brother didn't beat me, I took my eldest brother and sister-in-law to buy a house that was twice as big as my eldest brother's wedding house, and my sister-in-law also looked at me and said, "Xiaoshuo, your eldest brother really hasn't hurt you in vain all these years." ”
Although I didn't say anything when I heard my sister-in-law's words, my heart was already happy, and I vowed to think about my eldest brother's family in the future.
Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, I also got married and had children, and I also told my wife about my eldest brother, and my wife also admired my eldest brother and thought that I had a good eldest brother, so she would prepare gifts for my eldest brother, sister-in-law and nephew to return to her hometown during the New Year's holidays.
In a blink of an eye, my nephew also took the college entrance examination, and my nephew's academic performance has been good over the years, and when the eldest brother's family held a college banquet for my nephew, I, as my nephew's own uncle, gave him a big gift - I covered the tuition of my nephew's future university.
