At noon in summer, the sun poured down like a waterfall in the courtyard of Ah Xing's house, and the golden light sprinkled every inch of land. Ah Xing sat on a rocking chair in the center of the courtyard, looking at the sky in a daze. His face was pale, and his eyes showed an indescribable tiredness and loss.
"Ah Xing, are you really going to give up like this?" A familiar voice broke the silence, it was Ah Xing's friend Xiao Hua for many years. Xiao Hua was holding a basket of fresh fruits in his hand with a look of concern on his face.
Ah Xing sighed and slowly spoke: "Xiaohua, I have nothing now, my business has failed, and I have even mortgaged my house. I don't really know how much longer I'll be able to hold out. ”
Xiao Hua put the fruit basket on the table next to him, sat next to Ah Xing, and said softly: "Ah Xing, although you are in trouble now, don't forget that you still have our friends." I believe in your ability, as long as you don't give up, you will be able to make a comeback. ”
Ah Xing smiled bitterly and shook his head: "In this situation, who would dare to make friends with me? ”
Xiaohua patted Ah Xing's shoulder: "Ah Xing, don't underestimate human nature. A true friend is someone who is willing to lend a helping hand when you are in trouble. Moreover, a person's character can often be seen in the most difficult times. ”
As he spoke, footsteps were heard outside the courtyard. Ah Xing looked up and saw a middle-aged man walk in. He was wearing a plain shirt and carrying a heavy package in his hand.
"Ah Xing, I heard that you have been in trouble recently, so I came to see you. The middle-aged man said as he put the package on the table, and when he opened it, there was a thick stack of banknotes.
Ah Xing looked at the middle-aged man in surprise: "Brother Zhang, why are you here......?"
Brother Zhang waved his hand: "Ah Xing, don't get me wrong. The money was not lent to you, but a portion of the proceeds from my previous investment in your business. Now that you're in trouble, I deserve to give you the money back. ”
Ah Xing was moved to tears: "Brother Zhang, you ...... I ......" He didn't know what to say, but felt that his heart was full of gratitude and warmth.
Xiao Hua watched all this from the sidelines, and his heart was full of emotion. She understands that Brother Zhang's actions are not only a help to Ah Xing, but also an interpretation of human nature. When Ah Xing was in trouble, Brother Zhang did not choose to escape or be indifferent, but chose to support and help. This is a quality that a true friend should have.
In the following days, Ah Xing gradually walked out of the trough with the encouragement and help of his friends. He began to re-examine his life and career, trying to find new opportunities and directions. And he also cherished those friends who were still by his side when he was in trouble.
In the summer courtyard, Ah Xing sat in a rocking chair with a book in his hand, enjoying the quiet time of the afternoon. His heart was filled with gratitude and hope, because he knew that as long as he didn't give up, he would be able to stand up again. And those who supported him when he was in trouble will also become the most valuable treasure in his life.
This story tells us: it is difficult to recognize people's hearts, and details see character. On the road of life, we will inevitably encounter various difficulties and setbacks. But as long as we maintain a kind and sincere heart towards others, we will be able to gain true friendship and support. And those who are willing to lend a helping hand when we are in trouble are the most cherished treasures in our lives.
