My name is Xiao Ming, and I come from a small village in China, an ordinary family. My parents were both farmers, and although the family was not wealthy, they were still able to get by. When I was a child, I longed for life in the city, and I always felt that everything there would be better than the countryside. It wasn't until I went to university that I had the opportunity to really get in touch with the bustle of the city, and I slowly realized that life is not easy.
It's been a few years since I went to college, and now I have a not-so-bad job in the city, barely making ends meet every month. However, even though I have lived in the city for so long, my nostalgia for my hometown has never faded. Every year during the Chinese New Year, I would take leave to go home early to visit my parents and relatives.
On the eve of the Spring Festival this year, I took a week's vacation to prepare for the Chinese New Year. I was in a good mood and set out on the journey home. Along the way, my mind was full of memories of my hometown and longing for my parents.
Finally, I arrived at my hometown. As soon as I stepped through the door, the atmosphere in the house seemed to be something wrong. I saw that my father's face was a little heavy, and my mother had her head down, as if she was silently worried about something. I couldn't help but worry a little in my heart, could something be wrong at home?
"Dad, Mom, I'm back!" I dropped my bags and walked up to hug them.
"Hey, Xiao Ming, you're back." The father's voice was a little dull.
"Yes, Dad, I'm coming to see you, what's wrong? How do you feel like something is wrong with you? I asked, a little nervously.
"Nothing, nothing." Father smiled, as if trying to hide something.
I looked at them, still a little confused, but I didn't want to ask too much. After all, they might just be worried about my life in the city.
In the days that followed, I lived a dull and warm life with my parents. Every morning, I would go to the fields with my father to work and feel the intimacy of being connected to the land. At home, my mother always took care of us and cooked a table of hearty farm dishes. Although my life is simple, I feel that this is the real happiness.
Until one day, an uncle from the city suddenly came to the house. This uncle was a distant relative of his father, and it was said that he had a knack for doing business in the city. He looked like he was in his fifties, dressed in a fancy suit, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, and had a shrewd appearance. The first time I saw him, I felt a little strange, after all, I didn't know much about the people in the city.
"This is Xiao Ming? I've grown up a lot. Uncle looked at me and smiled.
"Yes, this is my son Xiao Ming." Father politely introduced.
"Oh, he looks like a handsome young man." My uncle complimented, but I always felt that there was something strange in his eyes, as if he was looking at me.
"Uncle, please be seated, please be seated." Mother hurriedly entertained.
So, we sat around the living room as a family and started chatting. I noticed that my uncle had been inadvertently asking questions about our family's situation, and there was a hint of sarcasm in his tone.
"Oh, Xiao Ming, it's not easy for you to work in the city, right? Life in the city is much more stressful than in the countryside. Uncle said to me with a smile.
"Yes, Uncle is right, life in the city is indeed not easy." I replied with some embarrassment.
"However, it cannot be said that the countryside is not good. After all, life in the countryside is simple and leisurely, not as impetuous as in the city. Uncle continued, with a hint of smugness in his tone.
I listened, and my heart was a little displeased. Maybe my uncle didn't mean it, but the difference between urban and rural areas revealed in his words made me feel a little uncomfortable. It's true that the city is bustling, but I don't think that life in the countryside is backward and boring.
My uncle's words caused me to be displeased, but I still tried to keep smiling and didn't want to make the atmosphere awkward. After all, he was also a relative of my father, and I didn't want to ruin the harmony of the family because of a momentary discomfort.
"Yes, life in the countryside is simple, but it's also fulfilling." I tried to lighten the mood.
"Haha, Xiao Ming, you kid is sensible and knows how to speak." Uncle smiled and patted me on the shoulder.
I had to answer with a wry smile, but I had a slight suspicion of this uncle in my heart. There seemed to be a sense of superiority in his words, which made me feel a little uncomfortable.
"Come, come, I've brought you some gifts." The uncle smiled and took out some gifts from his bag and handed them to his parents.
"Oh, this kid is really, why are you bringing so many things, are you trying to use our house as a shop?" The father took the gift and scolded with a smile.
"Haha, where, where, this little thing is nothing." Uncle smiled modestly.
I looked at the gift that my uncle took out, and I couldn't help but have some doubts in my heart. Although the gifts all look exquisite, I know that these things are not needed at home. Although the parents usually live a simple life, they do not lack anything. I wondered in my heart why my uncle had come back with so many gifts. Does he have some other purpose?
"Uncle, you are so polite, we can't afford these gifts." Mother said with some embarrassment.
"Oh, this little thing, it's not worth mentioning. Besides, this is a little bit of my heart for you, so take it. Uncle smiled and persuaded him.
In the face of his uncle's persuasion, his parents had no choice but to accept the gift and express their gratitude. I watched as the gifts were taken out one by one, and I still had some doubts in my heart. This uncle does not seem to be simple, and his mannerisms and words reveal a temperament that is different from ours. I couldn't help but start to get a little curious about him and want to know more about him.
For the next few days, my uncle stayed at our house. He would go to the fields with his father every day, and from time to time he would give him some business advice. I think it's a little strange, after all, my uncle is in the city business, and there should be no intersection with the farming life in the countryside, but he seems to be familiar with all this.
"Xiao Ming, look, how did your father plant this land? It's not a good way, you'll have to tell him to do something better. My uncle pointed to a plot in the field and said to me.
"Oh, this...... I don't know, but my dad always farmed his own way. I replied with some embarrassment.
"Oh, that's not going to work, you'll have to talk to your dad and find a more efficient way to grow it. You know, agriculture today is no longer the simple farming of the past, you have to keep up with the pace of the times. Uncle said in a stern tone.
Listening to my uncle's words, I couldn't help but hesitate a little in my heart. My father has always farmed the land in his own way, and he has a unique perception of the land, and I don't know if he will accept my uncle's advice. But my uncle was right, modern agriculture has indeed changed a lot, and maybe my father really needs to embrace some new ideas.
"Uncle, I'll have a good talk with Dad, thank you for your advice." I said to him solemnly.
Uncle nodded in satisfaction and smiled smugly. I looked at his smile and couldn't help but wonder a little in my heart. My uncle's concern for our family seemed a little overzealous and made me feel a little uncomfortable. But I can't question him directly, after all, he is a relative of my father, and I can't show too much dissatisfaction with him.
My uncle had been living at home for a while, and he would discuss farming matters with my father every day, and sometimes give business advice. I feel that his presence has brought some changes to our family, and although my father is not always fully receptive to his advice, at least there are some new ideas.
"Xiao Ming, you see, the soil in this land is too barren, and your father has to find a way to improve it." My uncle said to me as he pointed to the field.
"Yes, I also think that the soil of this land is not very good, but it is not an overnight thing to improve." I said with some embarrassment.
"Heck, you can't just shirk this. You'll have to talk to your dad about it. Otherwise, the yield of this land will not be high, and your family's income will not be able to rise. Uncle said in a stern tone.
I listened to my uncle's words, and my heart felt a little heavy. It is true that the soil of this land has always been a problem, but it is not easy to improve it completely. My father had tried many methods, but the results were not obvious. Maybe I'll need to talk to my father about whether there's another way.
My uncle's presence gave me a lot to think about, and I benefited a lot from his business insights and advice on farming. Although his words were a bit harsh at times, I know he said them out of concern for our family. I also started to develop a little respect for him, and I felt that he was not as simple as it seemed on the surface.
One day, I was busy working in the yard when I suddenly heard my father and uncle talking about something in the living room. My heart moved, and I crept over to hear what they were saying.
"Brother, I see that the situation in your family is still not very good, do you want to consider developing in another place?" My uncle's voice came to my ears.
"Somewhere else? But this is the root of our family, how can I be willing to leave? Father's voice sounded hesitant.
"Oh, you're so stubborn. You have to know that sometimes you can give up something to get a better reward. If you stay here, you're probably missing out on a lot of opportunities. There was a hint of persuasion in the uncle's tone.
When I heard their conversation, I couldn't help but feel a little shaken in my heart. Developing in a different place? This proposal was somewhat unexpected, but I felt that there was some truth to it. The family's situation is indeed not very good, although my father has been working hard to manage the land, but it has always been difficult to increase his income. Perhaps, it is indeed a good choice to develop in a different place.
"Uncle has a point, Dad, we can consider developing in another place. Maybe there will be a better opportunity waiting for us. I gently pushed the door open and walked inside.
My father looked at me with some surprise, but then smiled with relief.
"Yes, Xiao Ming is right, we can't stay here forever. Perhaps, a change of place can really bring us new opportunities. Father nodded in agreement.
Seeing our reaction, my uncle also smiled with satisfaction.
"Okay, that's it. I'll take care of everything for you, and trust me, it's a wise choice to move to another place. Uncle said, a twinkle in his eye.
I looked at his smile and couldn't help but feel a little emotional. Perhaps, the appearance of my uncle really gave us a new hope and a chance to start over.
Uncle's proposal filled our family with anticipation and hope. So, with his help, we started planning the move. My uncle gave us some advice and helped us find new land and arrange our relocation. His experience and connections helped us solve many difficulties and make the whole relocation plan go very smoothly.
"Xiao Ming, what do you think of this land? With fertile land and easy transportation, it is an ideal location for development. My uncle pointed to the map and said to me.
I looked closely at the place my uncle had pointed out and felt that it was indeed a good choice.
"Uncle, this land is indeed very good, and it looks very suitable for our development." I nodded in agreement.
"yes, I also think this land is very good, we can think about it." My father followed suit.
So, we decided to set our sights on the land and started preparing for the move. My uncle connected us with a local real estate agent, helped us buy the land, and assisted us in finding the right workers to build our new house. The whole relocation process was hectic, but it was well organized.
Finally, a few months later, our new home was completed. The new house, although not luxurious, is very warm and comfortable. Parents are especially happy in their new home, and they are full of anticipation for the future. And I am also full of expectations for my new life, and I feel that this move is a new beginning, a future full of hope.
"Dad, Mom, the new home has been built, are you satisfied?" I asked excitedly.
"Satisfied, satisfied!" Father and mother smiled and nodded.
"Yes, Xiao Ming, you have worked hard." Uncle also praised with a smile.
Looking at the satisfied smiles of my family, my heart is filled with happiness and gratitude. All thanks to the help and support of my uncle, his appearance brought us new hope and opportunities. I decided to thank him and let him know how much our family appreciated him.
In the days that followed, our family began to gradually adjust to their new life. My father continued to work the farm, and I began to learn a little about business under the guidance of my uncle. My uncle took the trouble to teach me, sharing his experiences and insights. I'm not very good at it, but I'm trying to study hard and hope to become a good businessman in the future.
"Xiao Ming, look, this business has great potential, you can consider investing in it." My uncle pointed to a business plan.
I took the business plan and read it carefully. Uncle is right, this business does have a lot of potential, and it is also very suitable for our family's situation. My heart began to waver, and I thought maybe I might want to consider investing.
"Uncle, this business does look good, I will seriously consider it." I said to him solemnly.
"Okay, okay, if you have any questions, you can come to me at any time, and I will try my best to help you." Uncle nodded in satisfaction.
I looked at my uncle's smile and my heart was filled with gratitude. His presence changed the fate of our family and gave us new hope and opportunities. I decided to make the most of this opportunity, study hard, work hard, and hope to give my parents a better life.
Over time, our family gradually adapted to their new life. Under my uncle's guidance, I learned a lot about business and economic management, and gradually found my interest and talent in this field. Through his unremitting efforts, my father gradually harvested the new fields and gradually improved the family's financial situation.
"Dad, this harvest looks good, we can consider expanding the planting area." I said excitedly to my father.
"Yes, Xiao Ming is right, our current situation allows us to try something new more boldly." Uncle also said approvingly.
My father listened to our advice and felt a little shaken in his heart. After all, expanding the planting area requires more money and effort, and there are certain risks. But thinking that the situation at home really allowed such an attempt, he also began to think about plans to expand the planting area.
"Okay, then let's do it according to this plan." My father finally decided.
As a result, we started a new round of planting plans and are actively preparing to expand the planting area. My uncle also gave us a lot of helpful advice and help, which made the whole project go very smoothly.
As time went on, life in our family gradually became better and better. Parents also find joy in life in their new surroundings, and they are full of confidence and hope for the future. Under the guidance of my uncle, I gradually grew into an excellent businessman and worked hard for the happiness of my family.
"Dad, Mom, I think our life is really happy now, and I think we will definitely get better and better." I said to my parents with a smile.
"Yes, Xiao Ming is right, our life is really happy now." Mother said with a smile on her face.
"Yes, our family is united, and it will definitely get better and better." My father said excitedly.
I looked at my parents' satisfied smiles, and my heart was filled with happiness and gratitude. I know that all this is thanks to the help and support of my uncle, whose appearance changed our destiny and gave us new hope and opportunities. I decided to make the most of this opportunity, study hard, work hard, and hope to give my parents a better life.
The story is over, but for me, it's just a new beginning. I will continue to work hard, fight for the happiness of my family, and work hard for my dreams. I believe that if we work together, we will be able to create a better future.
