Speaking of my uncle, he now has his own orchard in the village, and a canning factory, earning nearly one million a year, and he is now a big boss in ten miles and eight towns.
But in his early years, he was famous in Shili and Eight Townships, and he was not reliable at all.
My grandmother had four children at home, three girls and one boy, and after my uncle was born, my grandparents were very happy, and they had so many children just to have a boy to stay behind.
So my uncle's childhood was grown up in the doting of my grandfather's family, and he was pampered by the family since he was a child.
His mother was the eldest in the family, nine years older than his uncle, and when his uncle was a child, his mother took care of him when his grandparents went to work in the fields, so his uncle was close to his mother since he was a child.
Uncle is used to something wrong, he is usually very lazy, and he likes to do his own thing, grandparents say that he will talk back, it turns out that grandparents dote on their uncle like this, in the end, it hurts uncle.
My uncle didn't finish junior high school and said that he wouldn't go to school, so he had no choice but to let him go home to help with the farming, so he couldn't do anything when he was busy with farming.
But my uncle has been spoiled for so many years, and when the farm is busy, my uncle either has a pain in the butt or a headache, anyway, he doesn't go to work in the fields, and in the end it is my mother and two aunts who go to the fields to help my grandparents work.
After my uncle stopped going to school, he wandered around the village every day, so that many people in the village began to gossip about my grandfather's family, and my grandfather had no choice, so he asked my uncle to go to his relatives in the city and find some work there.
But my uncle couldn't look down on the job he found by his relatives, so he found a job he liked.
Later, I heard from my mother that my uncle had made a lot of money in the city during that time, but except for what was sent back to the family, it was spent by my uncle and did not save a little.
At that time, my mother was also going to get married, my father was next door to my grandfather's village, my grandfather's family only had two children, both boys, and my father was the eldest son in the family, and his reputation in the nearby village was very good, and everyone who knew him gave him a thumbs up.
So when the matchmaker came to my grandfather's house to propose marriage, my grandfather readily agreed after knowing that it was my father, and my father and mother got married soon, and my uncle also came back from the city after knowing that my mother was going to get married.
In the past few years, although my uncle has been in the city well, it is far from being as good as the previous two years, and he still owes a lot of money outside.
Grandpa was very angry when he heard that his uncle owed a lot of money and came back to them to ask for money, he was angry at his uncle's lack of business, and he felt helpless that he wanted to ask for money from home but did not feel guilty at all.
But grandpa and grandpa hurt their uncle after all, and the couple paid out of their own pockets to make up for the arrears for their uncle, and asked their uncle to find a partner to start a family as soon as possible, but the uncle did not appreciate this.
He felt that this was what his parents should do, and when the arrears were paid off by his grandparents, he returned to the city and continued to make a living.
Grandpa has a headache for this son, and he really doesn't know how to make his uncle take care of him? At this time, my grandfather's neighbor gave advice: men have a strong sense of responsibility, and they generally take care of themselves after getting married.
Grandpa felt that what the neighbor said made sense, so he looked for a marriage partner for his uncle, but his uncle's reputation had already spread in ten miles and eight towns, and many families shook their heads when they heard that the blind date was their uncle.
Grandpa was so worried that there was a lot more gray hair, but fortunately, there was a girl who was willing to marry my uncle, she was my later aunt, and when my grandpa knew that someone was willing to marry my uncle, he was so happy that he couldn't find the north.
Grandpa quickly called his uncle back from the city, and explained to him that he had found a job with his family, and his uncle was used to freedom, so he thought about refusing, but after knowing that the person was his aunt, he changed his mind.
It turned out that my uncle and aunt had known each other since childhood, they were classmates, and although my uncle was a little naughty and mischievous when he was in school, he didn't like to study, but he was very friendly to his classmates and never bullied them.
My aunt was bullied many times by my classmates at that time, but my uncle took action many times, and these things made my aunt have a good impression of my uncle since I was a child, and my uncle was not disgusted with my aunt, so my aunt's marriage was so simple.
But my mother had just got married, and my grandfather gave my mother a lot of dowry, and the family couldn't make up the bride price for my uncle's marriage for a while.
But my aunt was understanding and took the initiative to say that I didn't need to give so much, as long as there was an explanation from the family, so my aunt and uncle also got married soon after my mother got married.
Later, the second and third aunts also got married, so the uncle and aunt have been living in the grandfather's house, and the aunt respects the grandfather very much, and often gets up before dawn to prepare the family's breakfast.
But after my uncle got married, nothing changed, and he was still messing around, although my aunt would sometimes say a few words to my uncle, and my uncle would occasionally listen to a few words and help with a few days at home, but within a few days my uncle went out to hang out again.
After I was born, my grandfather also began to urge my uncle and aunt to have children, but my uncle didn't want to have children so early, he still wanted to play for two years, but my aunt didn't agree, she wanted her husband to take care of it.
In fact, my uncle has not done nothing in the past two years of marriage, he dares to get married is also high-spirited, he borrowed a lot of money from our family, the second aunt's family, and the third aunt's family to prepare for a big fight, but failed, and lost all his money, and there was no money to borrow from our three families, and the second aunt and the third aunt were angry to cut off the relationship with the uncle.
In those two years, my uncle was like an old man in his sixties and seventies in the village, he had nothing to do every day, and he didn't care what the people in the village thought of him, and the people in the village looked down on him, but it was also at this time that there was a turning point in my uncle's life.
My aunt was pregnant, and when my uncle got the news, he seemed to suddenly get the hang of it, and understood his responsibilities as a husband, father, and child.
This work was finally completed last year when my grandfather got rid of my father, but this year my uncle went directly to the battlefield by himself, and he did it alone from the beginning of spring ploughing, and he didn't even let them do it if he wanted to help.
When my parents finished working on the family's land and wanted to come back to help, they found that my grandfather's field had been cleaned up.
Both the mother and the grandfather were very happy about the uncle's change, but there was still a thorn in the mother's heart, that is, the uncle still owed a lot of money to the family of the three sisters, but the mother didn't say anything because of the grandfather's face.
Uncle should know that several sisters in the family are dissatisfied with him, but this is his own fault after all, so every time his mother and second and third aunts talk about uncle, my uncle never refutes.
With the birth of his cousin, the uncle officially changed from a young man to a father, and the change of identity also brought about an increase in responsibility.
Since the birth of his cousin, in order to give his cousin a better space to grow, his uncle has worked harder, he has changed his bad habits before marriage, and at the same time, in order to support his family, he will go to the city to find some odd jobs in the city during the slack time.
When my cousin was five years old, my uncle paid back the money he owed to our three families, and everyone in the village said that my uncle was a prodigal son, but only my father saw the reason: it was a manifestation of my uncle's responsibility to my aunt and cousin.
In the following years, the life of my uncle's family got better and better, and my aunt gave birth to two more children, a boy and a girl, and my uncle's family finally moved out of my grandfather's house and built a new house near their house.
My uncle's family has also lived a happy life, my uncle has worked hard all these years, and the remuneration he has to bring has been steadily increasing every year, but after all, he has three children at home, and sometimes he is shy and wants his mother and second aunt and third aunt to help him.
The second and third aunts complained about their grandparents always asking them to help their uncle's family, and they didn't even like their uncle's family, and in the end they didn't have much contact with their uncle's family.
After all, my mother is the eldest in the family, so I don't have any contact with my uncle, so I have to borrow money from my uncle all the time, but fortunately, my father understands my mother, and every time my uncle borrows money, he won't say anything.
When I graduated from junior high school, my aunt suddenly fell ill and needed a lot of money for surgery, but my uncle's family was already a little unable to make ends meet after raising three children over the years, and there was still spare money for my aunt's surgery.
My uncle had no choice but to come to my house again to borrow money, although my family is not a rich family, but I am the only child in the family, so my parents can still save some money.
In addition to saving, the money was lent to the uncle, and it would take a long time to return it.
When my uncle came to my house, my father happened to be at home, so my uncle explained the situation to my mother and asked her to lend him 20,000 yuan for my aunt's surgery.
The mother didn't want to lend it to her uncle, but after all, blood is thicker than water, and her mother finally relented and agreed to lend her uncle money, but she could only lend him 10,000 yuan, and the remaining 10,000 yuan was about to be figured out by herself.
The uncle opened his mouth to say something, but in the end he didn't say it, just thanked his mother and went out.
Soon after my uncle left, my father came back, and when I saw my mother sitting on the kang and sulking so much, I didn't say anything more when I asked what my uncle was borrowing money for, but when he heard that my mother had only lent half of it to my uncle, he suddenly became angry.
He said to his mother: "Human life is a matter of heaven, how can you do this, besides, if he really has no choice, how can he still care about you borrowing money, I must have been to your second sister and third sister, and then came to you after being rejected." ”
The mother was also remorseful, and the father directly took out another 10,000 yuan from the family's savings, caught up with the uncle in the direction of his uncle's house and gave him the 10,000 yuan, and told him that if it was not enough, he would ask for it in my house, and now it is the most important thing to save your wife's life.
Uncle was moved to tears by the other 10,000 yuan, and at the same time said in a somewhat crying voice: "Brother-in-law, don't worry, I will definitely return this money to you, and I will definitely change a suite for your family when I make a lot of money in the future." ”
His father smiled and comforted him: "I'll talk about it later, now let's go to the hospital to see your wife." ”
After my aunt was discharged from the hospital, my uncle planted fruit trees on the mountains that the family had assigned, and in the following years, he made a lot of money, and he built a canning factory, so that many people in the village had a place to generate income.
And the money that my father lent to my uncle back then has long been repaid, and he has fulfilled his promise to renovate our family's house, originally he planned to build a house directly for my family.
But my father said that he had become accustomed to living in the old house and didn't want to change places, so my uncle gave up the original plan and renovated my family's house instead.
The relationship between our two families has been very good over the years, and when I was admitted to university, my uncle also gave our family a big red envelope, I think this is the real way to open up between relatives, help each other, and understand each other.
His uncle often told his children that if it weren't for his eldest sister and brother-in-law, there would be no family today.
Now that our juniors have children, I often tell my children to treat their siblings like their parents' generation, so that they can have a good family relationship.
