On May Day, my nephew held a wedding banquet, I was worried about the gift, my sister had helped me a lot before, this gift is less is not, more is not, it really makes me embarrassed.
The day before my nephew's wedding, the eldest sister called our three sisters and said that it was not easy for the younger sister a year ago, and now that my nephew is getting married, we have to express it, let's just give a gift of 5,000 each.
Our family is richer than Xiaomei's family, and our children are all married, and we can take out 5,000 yuan, so we should help Xiaomei's family, as for her not to return the gift in the future, don't worry about her, be more considerate of her.
It was the eldest sister's words that woke me up, so I didn't listen to the eldest sister's words and followed the gift of 5,000 yuan, but only 500 yuan.
When I was writing for money, my eldest sister scolded me for a long time, saying that I was so old that I didn't understand any human feelings, and now I made them embarrassed that they couldn't go up and down.
The eldest sister scolded me for being reasonable, and it was true that I didn't think about it, so I didn't discuss it with them in advance, but I don't think it's a mistake for me to have less money, but I'm more glad that I didn't have so much money.
If you want to say that I don't value my nephew as a nephew? Surely not, since my nephew was born, I have treated him as my own son, even better than my own son.
There are too many twists and turns, let's start talking about it when I was a child, and when you understand the story between me and my little sister, you will understand that I only follow five hundred instead of five thousand.
I was the third of four sisters, and in the sixties and seventies, I didn't have a son, so you can imagine how difficult life was for our family.
Grandma has a great prejudice against our family because my mother can't give birth to a son, so in my impression, grandparents have never helped our family with anything, even if it is to help my mother watch the children for a day.
Not only did he never help our family, but he always helped my uncle and aunt to bully our family, replacing our homestead with the remote and dirty place they had assigned, and replacing the few acres of land we had with an inconvenient corner for watering.
Mother followed my father and suffered a lot of grievances, but my mother never complained to us, she would just look at our four sisters when she was sad, and then said, Mom never thinks you are a burden, you are all treasures in Mom's palm, I only hope that you can become talented, have a future, and then don't follow my old path.
So in the most difficult time of that era, my mother and father also gritted their teeth and insisted that our four sisters go to school, I remember that when we made up the tuition fees, after selling all the food in the family, it was only enough for the tuition fees of the eldest sister and the second sister.
Seeing the sad faces of my little sister and me, my mother took my sisters to borrow money from door to door.
I remember that there was a lady in the village who spoke very hard, and said to her mother in a weird way, I said Fengxia (mother), what do you say you are doing with all this effort for them to go to college, they are all little girls, and when the time comes, just ask someone to find a good in-law for them to marry, and you can also enjoy happiness.
My mother had a good temper, she didn't turn her face with the eldest lady, said sorry, and then led the two of us home, and finally the money for school was lent to us by my aunt and uncle, and she didn't say anything about letting us pay back.
When I was in my first year of junior high school, my eldest sister had already dropped out of school and got married, and not long after my eldest sister got married, my father had an accident.
At that time, in order to earn money for our three sisters to study, my father worked several jobs in the town alone, and he did not rest well every day, and his nutrition could not keep up, and he was weak.
On the way home, my father was in a car accident and collided with an oncoming car, and he lost his vital signs on the spot.
By the time our mother and we arrived, my father had already been sent to the crematorium, and just like that, our four sisters and my mother saw my father off in the crematorium for the last time.
After my father died, the people in the village pointed fingers at our family, saying that our mother and daughter were cruel, and when my father died, they didn't let him return to his homeland, but made some kind of novel cremation.
Even my grandmother came to our house to make a fuss, saying that it was our children who had killed their father, and if it weren't for my father trying to earn tuition for us, he wouldn't have done such a thing, and he couldn't have left so early, so that they would have suffered the pain of the white-haired man sending the black-haired man.
In fact, my grandmother was not so painful, she came to my house on time and on time every day to make trouble, just to make the villagers scold our mother and daughter a little more.
After a few days of living like this, my mother made a decision to move the family to the town, so that we could not be affected by the gossip.
My mother sold the family's old house and a few acres of land, and took the three of us sisters to the town, when the eldest sister had already married, but she was not married to a wealthy family, and could not do anything else except help us inquire about where there was a suitable house.
Not long after moving to the town to live, the second sister clamored to drop out of school, she said that her study was in vain, it was better to go out to work as soon as possible to earn money, and her mother had not come out of the grief of her father's death, so she also fulfilled the wish of the second sister.
After the second sister went out to work, my mother and my little sister and I who were still in school were left at home.
I went out early and returned late one day, and I didn't eat on time when I got home in the evening, and my body became weaker and weaker day by day, but I could barely support my little sister and me to finish junior high school.
During the summer vacation of high school, my mother fainted at her workstation due to anemia, and after resting, the boss of the factory said that she would not use her mother to work for anything, for fear that something would happen to her and ask her to compensate.
As a result, my tuition became a problem again, so I discussed with my mother that I would take advantage of this summer vacation to work in a small restaurant nearby for two days to earn some living expenses.
My mother was worried that I would be bullied when I was young and refused to let me go, and when I was begging my mother, my little sister suddenly told my mother that she didn't want to study anymore, and she wanted to go out to work like her second sister.
After hearing this, the mother slapped the little sister and scolded her for not being angry, and the little sister was also stubborn, so she knelt outside for a day under such a big sun.
In the end, my mother agreed to my little sister's request, and before leaving, my little sister said to me, third sister, you should study hard, you are more promising than me, I work outside to earn money to pay your tuition, and you can take care of your mother at home.
My little sister went out for less than half a year, and sent me back more than a year's tuition and living expenses, because she was afraid of spending money, so she was only willing to write a letter when she sent us money to tell her about her recent situation.
Unfortunately, when I was a sophomore in high school, my mother fainted again without warning and came back to the side of the road, and the neighbor took my mother to the hospital and quickly called me back from school.
Just in case, I also sent letters to the eldest sister, the second sister and the younger sister, but the eldest sister and the second sister were delayed and couldn't come back, only the younger sister made a one-night train and rushed back.
After the little sister came back, she drove me to school, saying third sister, I am here to take care of my mother, you go back to school to study, I asked her what to do with your job, she said that she had already resigned when she came back, and after her mother was discharged from the hospital, she would find a job near home.
After my mother was discharged from the hospital, my sister worked as a waitress at a restaurant near her home to take care of her.
In this way, with the help of my little sister, I finished high school with peace of mind and was admitted to the university of my choice, and on the day I got the admission letter, my little sister invited me and my mother to have a "big meal" in a restaurant for the first time.
On the way back, my little sister took my arm and said, Third sister, I'm really happy that you were admitted to college, so that our father can rest assured, and our family is finally a competitive person.
After finishing speaking, he patted his chest again and said, don't worry, sister, I will definitely work hard to make money and let you finish college.
When my sister said this, sometimes I wondered which of the two of us was the elder sister and who was the younger sister, who was two years younger than me, but was as mature as an adult.
My mother died in my junior year, before leaving, my mother called our four sisters to the bed, took the little sister's hand and told us, after I leave, you must take care of the fourth child, she is a hard-working child, she has not enjoyed any blessings, and I have suffered all the hardships.
We cried and agreed to our mother, and then my mother passed away, and after handling my mother's funeral, my little sister said to the three of us, sister, don't go to your heart, I can take care of myself.
After speaking, he took my hand and said, and your third sister, you don't have to always think about what to pay me back, I am willing to let you go to college, besides, if you read it, I won't have a light on my face.
After I graduated from university, I stayed in the city to work, and my little sister also went to work in other places, although life is slowly getting better, but the contact between our four sisters is getting less and less, especially with my little sister.
On the eve of the wedding, my little sister mysteriously gave me a passbook and told me that there was 30,000 yuan in it, which was the dowry she had saved for me.
After I heard this, I quickly put the passbook back again, saying that I am a sister, you are a sister, how can I collect your money, besides, if you want to prepare, I will prepare for you, how can you prepare for me.
Under the tugging of one party, I finally accepted the passbook of 30,000 yuan, and after attending my wedding, my little sister hurried to work again.
In the second year of my marriage, my little sister also got married, and the most rewarding thing was that I prepared a dowry of 50,000 yuan for my little sister, and also accompanied a big gift of 500 yuan.
The little sister didn't be polite to me, and accepted it directly, who would have thought, when my son did the full moon wine, the little sister came back with me, which really made me cry and laugh.
When my son was born, because my mother had passed away, my little sister was with me all the time, and when I got home, my mother-in-law couldn't take care of me for confinement because of the recurrence of back disease, so my little sister took the initiative to stay and take care of me.
At that time, I discussed with my husband that after the confinement period, I would give my little sister a big red envelope, which was regarded as a thank you to her, but my little sister refused to accept it, not to mention that the relationship between our sisters deteriorated after receiving the money.
When my son was two years old, my nephew was also born, and as an older sister, I asked the company for a few days off to take care of my little sister, and also wrapped a big red envelope for my nephew as a blessing.
But Xiaomei is a person who doesn't want to trouble me, I have only taken care of her for two days, she said that I took care of her unwell, told me to hurry back to work, Xiaomei's husband and mother-in-law also drove me away.
I had no choice but to leave, for so many years, in order to repay my little sister for her kindness to me, I always went to their house from time to time, sometimes to buy some gifts, sometimes to put down a little money.
But my little sister always refused to accept it, so I changed my goal and turned to giving money to my nephew, because of my little sister, I also love my nephew very much, and I have almost everything my son has, and I have given him a copy.
My nephew was very competitive, and when I was in high school, I was admitted to a key middle school in the city, but my little sister was not worried that my nephew would come to study so far away alone, so I applied for a day school for my nephew and asked him to live in my home.
Because I am very good to my nephew, my son sometimes tells me sourly, and I don't know that I think my cousin is your own son, and I picked it up by you.
Although he said so, the son still took good care of his nephew, and the two of them got along like biological brothers.
Time flies quickly, in a blink of an eye, my nephew has graduated from college for several years, and it has also reached the age of talking about marriage, my nephew is very competitive, and when he was in college, he found himself a girlfriend and entered the palace of marriage.
On the day my nephew got married, I chose to only give him 500 yuan, which is only because my little sister is a dead eye, if I follow 5,000, she will definitely come back with me if there is something in my family in the future.
After the wedding banquet, I found my little sister and nephew, took out another bulging red envelope from my bag, and handed it to my nephew.
I said to my little sister and nephew, don't blame me for only writing 500 yuan for you, I heard your mother tell me that you have been worried about buying a house recently, there are 50,000 yuan in this red envelope, which is considered to be sponsored by the third aunt, if it is not enough, tell the third aunt, and the third aunt will give it to you.
Before I finished speaking, my nephew hugged me and said to me, thank you third aunt, you have helped me so much, I really don't know how to repay you.
I patted my nephew on the shoulder and said, you two live your own life and take good care of your parents to repay me.
After saying this, my little sister also took my hand with tears in her eyes and said, Third sister, thank you, you have helped our family so much, if you didn't help us all the time, we really don't know what to do.
I looked at my little sister, patted her and said, what do you say about the two sisters, if you really want to talk about it, you still help me the most, how should you pay you back!
Harm, in fact, in the final analysis, isn't this the case between brothers and sisters, you help me, I help you, get through the difficulties together, and then move forward in a better direction together!
