I am an ordinary person who lives in a bustling city, surnamed Liu, and my name is Xiao Ming. My family is a very ordinary family on this street, my parents are ordinary office workers, and I work as an ordinary white-collar worker in a small company. Although our family life is ordinary, it is also stable and harmonious.
However, the peaceful life was shattered one day. It was a sunny weekend morning, and I was about to go out to the supermarket to buy some groceries when I suddenly heard the doorbell ring. I walked to the door and opened it, only to see a face that made my heart unhappy—it was our next-door neighbor, surnamed Wang, named Dahai.
Dahai is a middle-aged man, slightly obese, and always amiable, but I know that he is not as simple as he seems. We didn't know each other well, but we just exchanged pleasantries a few times, and I didn't have much of a good impression of him.
"Xiao Ming, it's early!" The sea smiled brightly when it saw me.
"Early. Can I help you? "I was secretly vigilant in my heart, and I didn't know what his purpose was for looking for me.
"Actually, I have a little thing I want to ask you." The sea said as he made a gesture of pleading.
Although I was a little impatient, I politely asked, "What's the matter?" "
"Well, that's the case, my TV is broken, I want to borrow your TV for a few days, okay?" The sea looked at me expectantly.
I was shocked, I didn't expect him to make such a request, but I immediately thought that the TV at home was not very new, and there was nothing particularly private, so I reluctantly agreed.
"Okay, no problem, you can use it." I said with some hesitation.
"Thank you so much! You guys are good neighbors! The sea patted me on the shoulder happily, and then took his son, Xiao Wang, and walked towards my house.
I watched them leave with some unease, and there was a faint sense of uneasiness in my heart. Still, I told myself that maybe I was just overthinking, after all, it was just a small help.
Little did I know, however, that this was just the beginning of events, and that a whirlpool of conflicts that had plunged my family into conflict was about to unfold......
"Dad, what's wrong with this TV? Why can't you open it? Xiao Wang took the remote control and operated it in the living room in wonder.
When I heard their voices, my heart sank and I began to feel a little worried. I walked briskly to the living room and saw the sea frowning and fiddling with the TV.
"This ...... Maybe it's because there's been a bit of a problem lately and it might need to be fixed. I explained in a hesitant way.
"Huh? So what to do? We don't have any other TV to watch in our house right now. The sea's expression was a little anxious.
I'm glad I was glad that it wasn't my TV that was the problem, otherwise I would have been in big trouble. But I also know that this is only a temporary comfort, and the problem still needs to be solved.
"Then you can use your mobile phone or computer to take a look temporarily, and I'll find someone to fix the TV for you to see, okay?" I try to make myself sound as calm as possible.
"Well, well, then I'll trouble you." The sea nodded, looking a little helpless.
I quickly picked up my phone and started looking for the phone number of a nearby repair shop. After a while, I contacted a reputable maintenance master and made an appointment for him to come over to watch TV.
When the maintenance master came to my house, I told him about the TV, and he took the remote control and started to check it with ease. After some checking, he quickly figured out what the problem was and quickly solved it for me.
"Well, it's not a big problem, it's just that the TV cable is loose, I plug it back in, and it should be fine." The maintenance master said with a smile.
I breathed a sigh of relief, and I was glad that I was lucky that the problem had been solved quite smoothly. However, it did not occur to me that this was only the beginning of the problem, and that the subsequent contradictions were the real test.
When I returned to the living room, I saw that Dahai was talking to the maintenance master, and his voice sounded a little anxious.
"Thank you so much this time, if it weren't for a good neighbor like you, we would be in real trouble." The sea thanked him and took out the money to give to the maintenance master.
"You're welcome, this is what I'm supposed to do." The maintenance master said with a smile.
"You're welcome, this is what I should pay you." The sea insisted on handing over the money.
When I saw this, I felt a little unhappy. While I know the sea has good intentions, I also don't like how they complicate the problem and pay extra for the repairman. I remembered my own family, my parents were ordinary salarymen, and it would not be good if I spent more unjust money.
"The sea, this ......" I wanted to say something, but I didn't know how to say it.
"Xiao Ming, you're welcome, this is as it should be." The sea interrupted me, and it looked like a righteous word.
I just nodded and didn't say anything more. Seeing that the maintenance master collected the money and said goodbye with a smile, I secretly decided in my heart that I should be careful in my relationship with the sea in the future, so as not to cause trouble to my family again.
However, just when I thought it was over and everything would be calm again, I realized that things were not so simple......
I'm starting to worry a little about what will happen next.
It didn't take long for me to notice that something was wrong. Ever since the sea borrowed our TV, some of their family's behaviors have started to make me feel a little uncomfortable. Every night, the lights in their living room are often turned on late, sometimes even late at night. Moreover, the noise in their house is getting louder and louder, and the sound of TV and laughter from time to time always affects the rest of our house.
My parents and I couldn't stand it anymore, especially my dad, who was more anxious and sometimes couldn't help but get angry when he heard the noise from their house. I tried to communicate with the sea, hoping that he would pay attention to our family's feelings, but he always looked aggrieved, saying that he had no other place to watch TV at home, so he could only watch it in the living room, and he was embarrassed to affect us, but there was really no way.
After every communication with the sea, he always observes it for a while, but after a while, it will return to his previous state. I started to feel a little overwhelmed, but I didn't know what to do. After all, he is our neighbor after all, and it is not a good idea to fall out with him directly.
However, things turned out beyond my expectations. Just when I thought the problem had reached a tipping point, an even bigger contradiction was brewing......
Things turned out beyond my expectations. One night, I was reading a book at home when I suddenly heard a sharp knock on the door next door. I was a little surprised, I didn't know who came to us so late, so I went to the door, opened it, and found that it was the sea.
"The sea, it's so late, what's the matter?" I asked, somewhat surprised.
"Xiao Ming, my TV has a problem again, can you lend us another one?" The sea looked at me anxiously.
I listened to his request, and my heart was irritated. It's not that I'm reluctant to help my neighbors, but this isn't the first time, and their family's problems don't seem to be solved. I began to say a little impatiently: "The sea, your TV has so many problems, is it time to consider changing it?" "
When the sea heard my words, his face was a little embarrassed, and he said hesitantly: "This...... In fact, we have been a little nervous recently, and we have no plans to change the TV for the time being. Hope you can help a little more. "
When I heard his explanation, I felt a little helpless. After all, they didn't mean it, and as a neighbor, I don't want to be too tough. So, I reluctantly agreed and asked them to borrow our TV for the time being.
"Okay, let's use it, but hopefully this is the last time." I said helplessly.
"Thank you, Xiao Ming, thank you so much!" The sea thanked him repeatedly, and took his son Xiao Wang and hurried back to their house.
I closed the door and sighed to myself. Although I understand the difficulties of the sea, this frequent troubles still bothers me a little. I began to worry if this would become the norm, and my TV was borrowed like this for a long time.
However, just when I was anxious, something happened that made me completely angry. It was a weekend afternoon, and I was resting at home when I suddenly received a strange phone call. On the other end of the line was a female voice who claimed to be the property manager in our neighborhood.
"Hello, I am a staff member of the property management office, and I would like to confirm one thing with you. Are you Mr. Liu Xiaoming? "
"Yes, I am. Can I help you? I asked, a little puzzled.
"We have received a complaint about your home that the noise in your home is affecting the lives of your neighbors. Can you tell me if there's been anything particularly noisy lately? "
I listened to her words and was a little stunned. Although I knew that there was some friction between our house and the big house next door, I didn't expect them to complain to the property. I began to feel angry, and secretly scolded the sea for going too far and doing such a small action behind my back.
"I see, thank you for telling me, I'll take care of this." I replied in a cold tone.
Hanging up, I felt angry and disappointed. I felt that I was too tolerant of the sea, and I let him get an inch, and finally did this kind of thing behind his back. I decided to talk to their family and not let them affect our lives so willfully.
I decided to talk to the sea right away. I pushed open the door and walked straight to the house next door. After a few knocks, the sea opened, and when he saw me, he seemed a little surprised.
"Xiao Ming, you're here, what's the matter?" The sea asked with a smile.
I was not polite and cut straight to the point: "The sea, I received a call from the property and they said that the noise in our house affected the lives of the neighbors. Have you complained to the property? "
When the sea heard my words, his face changed slightly, and he said with some hesitation: "This...... There were some problems, but we were forced to complain. The TV in your house is too loud, and it affects our rest every night, so I can't stand it and complain. "
I listened to his explanation, and my heart became even more angry. I think their family's behavior has gone too far, and it is unreasonable that their family often makes trouble, and now they are putting the blame on us.
"The sea, our TV is not that loud, and every time your family borrows a TV, we have also reminded us to pay attention to the volume, and you have promised not to affect us again. Now you're complaining behind your back, what does that mean? I asked, a little angrily.
Dahai listened to my words, looking a little embarrassed, and he explained hesitantly: "This ...... Maybe I didn't control it well, maybe someone else in my family was careless. But don't worry, I will communicate with my family and try to avoid this happening again. "
I still didn't feel very sure when I heard his assurances. I don't think their family's problems can be solved in a short time, and they need long-term improvement and management. But I also know that arguing with them now will not solve the problem, so I can only try to stay calm and seek a better solution.
"Well, I hope your family can take note and avoid this situation again. I will also communicate with my family to minimize any issues that affect you. After I said this, I turned and left the sea house.
When I got home, I was in a heavy mood. I'm starting to feel that there may not be a simple solution to this kind of neighborhood relationship, and that it will take both of us to work together to achieve the goal of living in harmony. However, I still firmly believe that as long as we communicate with each other and understand each other, we will be able to find a solution to the problem.
