The story begins on an ordinary weekend, where Zhang Ming and Li Li are enjoying a rare leisure time at home. Zhang Ming sat on the sofa watching TV, while Li Li was busy preparing lunch in the kitchen. The sun is shining outside the window, the breeze is blowing, and the whole home is filled with a sense of tranquility.
Suddenly, the doorbell rang. Li Li wiped her hands and went to open the door. "Dad, why are you here?" Li Li saw Old Man Li outside the door and hurriedly welcomed him into the house. Old Man Li had a hint of seriousness on his face, obviously having something to say.
"Mingzi, Lili, I'm here today to trouble you." As soon as Mr. Li entered the door, he went straight to the point. Zhang Ming turned off the TV, stood up and greeted: "Dad, sit down, what do you say." ”
After Old Man Li sat down, he looked at Li Li, then at Zhang Ming, and said slowly: "That's the case, your brother-in-law Li Qiang needs to prepare a gift for someone recently, and he wants to send 30 lobsters." But he's a little short on money, and wants you to help prepare. ”
Hearing this request, Zhang Ming was a little surprised. He frowned, thinking that the cost of 30 lobsters was not small. "Dad, 30 lobsters is not a small amount, it will cost a lot of money." Zhang Ming said tentatively.
"Your brother-in-law is in a bit of a difficult situation now, so our family can help if they can." Old Man Li's tone was a little impatient, "You are his brother-in-law, are you still unwilling to help with this little favor?" ”
Zhang Ming was a little embarrassed, he knew that the family's money was not blown by the wind. After thinking for a while, he still decided to tell the truth: "Dad, as long as you give money, I can handle as many lobsters as I want." It's a purchase, you have to pay for it. ”
Old Man Li's face sank suddenly, he stared at Zhang Ming, and his tone became stern: "Mingzi, can't you talk about love between family members?" Do you have to talk about money? ”
Li Li saw that the situation was a little stiff, and quickly interjected: "Dad, don't worry, Mingzi didn't mean that." He was also afraid that we wouldn't be able to come up with so much money for a while. Let's do that, let's help prepare a few first, and the rest will be made up slowly, can you? ”
When Old Man Li heard this, his face softened slightly, but he was still a little dissatisfied: "Lili, you are also the eldest daughter in the family, your brother is in trouble, can't you help more?" ”
Zhang Ming felt a little helpless, he knew that this matter was not easy to solve, but he couldn't put all the family's money into it for this matter. He looked at Li Li, hoping that she could think of a compromise.
"Dad, I know you're worried about Li Qiang, but we also have to do what we can. Why don't we prepare ten of them first, and then figure out the rest? Li Li asked tentatively.
Old Man Li was silent for a moment, as if weighing the proposal. Eventually, he sighed, "Okay, prepare ten first." I hope you can get the rest together as soon as possible. ”
Zhang Ming nodded, relieved in his heart. He knew that this was only a temporary solution, and that there would be more problems and contradictions to face later. But at least, the situation has stabilized for the time being.
Just as they were about to continue discussing the details, the doorbell rang again. This time it was Li Qiang who came in person, with a trace of anxiety on his face, obviously rushing over after hearing about the situation.
"Sister, brother-in-law, Dad, I'm really embarrassed, I'm really troublesome to you this time." Li Qiang apologized as soon as he entered the door, and his attitude was sincere.
"It's okay, we're all a family, and if we have difficulties, we can figure out a way together." Li Li comforted.
Zhang Ming looked at Li Qiang, feeling a little complicated. He understood Li Qiang's situation, but he also knew that he couldn't compromise easily. This matter, it looks like there is still a toss.
To coordinate the matter, a family meeting was called at home. On Sunday afternoon, Mr. Li, Li Li, Zhang Ming and Li Qiang gathered together. Old Man Li sat in the center of the sofa, his brows furrowed, and Li Li sat next to him with a worried expression. Zhang Ming and Li Qiang sat on the chairs opposite each other, and the atmosphere was a little tense.
Old Man Li cleared his throat and took the lead in speaking: "I called everyone here today to discuss Li Qiang's matter. You also know that Li Qiang needs 30 lobsters, but now there are some difficulties, let's think of a way together. ”
Li Qiang lowered his head and said a little embarrassed: "Dad, sister, brother-in-law, I know that this time the request is a bit much, but I really can't help it." My friends over there were in a hurry, and I couldn't get so much money, so I had to trouble my family. ”
Zhang Ming frowned, and responded in a firm tone: "Li Qiang, we are relatives, of course I am willing to help you." But 30 lobsters are not a small number, and we must make it clear. This money still has to have a consideration. ”
When Old Man Li heard this, his face immediately sank: "Mingzi, our family is in love, do you have to put the money in front?" Can't you take care of the big picture? ”
Not to be outdone, Zhang Ming retorted: "Dad, it's not that I don't help, but this time the matter is too big." If you do this every time, what will happen in the future? My brother still settles accounts, and I don't want to stiffen my feelings because of money. ”
Li Li saw that the two were about to quarrel again, so she hurriedly made a round: "Dad, Mingzi, let's not be in a hurry to quarrel, let's listen to what Li Qiang has to say first." ”
Li Qiang raised his head, looked at everyone present, took a deep breath, and said, "Brother-in-law, I know your difficulties, but I really can't come up with the money now." This incident is very important to me, and I hope that my family can help me first, and I will pay it back when I have money. ”
Zhang Ming shook his head and insisted: "Li Qiang, it's not that I don't believe you, but this money can't be ambiguous." We also have our difficulties. Otherwise, do you think we can prepare some of them first, and then figure out how to do the rest? ”
Old Man Li patted the armrest of the sofa and said angrily: "Zhang Ming, you are wrong. If someone in the family is in trouble, can't you help more? Do you have to force people to do this? ”
Just as the atmosphere was deadlocked, Zhang Ming's parents suddenly came. When they heard about it, they decided to see if they could help. Zhang Ming's mother, Aunt Liu, said as soon as she entered the door: "We also heard about the situation, thinking about the family, and we will solve it together if there is something." ”
Aunt Liu looked at Old Man Li and said with a smile: "In-laws, don't be angry. Our Akiko is a kid who sometimes speaks straight, but his heart is not bad. Why don't we think of a compromise solution, pay part of the expenses first, and pay it back when Li Qiang has money? ”
Zhang Ming's father, Uncle Zhang, also nodded in agreement: "Yes, we don't want to watch our family have conflicts over money." Li Qiang, you do have difficulties now, but you must remember these feelings in the future, everyone is a family, and it is necessary to help each other. ”
When Li Qiang heard this, his eyes were a little red, and he nodded: "Uncle, aunt, thank you." I must remember this love, and I will definitely return it when I have the ability in the future. ”
Although Zhang Ming was still a little reluctant in his heart, he could only compromise when he saw that everyone said this: "Okay, just do what Uncle and Aunt said." We'll scrape together some of the money first, and you'll figure out the rest yourself. ”
Li Li was relieved to see that everyone had finally reached an agreement, and said, "Then it's decided." Li Qiang, you hurry up and contact a friend to see if you can deal with the past first. Our family is all together, and we can always figure out a way. ”
After the meeting, Zhang Ming and Li Qiang still had some knots, but at least the problems on the surface were temporarily solved. Everyone went back to their own lives, but the seeds of this contradiction seemed to be buried in their hearts, waiting for the next outbreak.
The day after the family meeting, Zhang Ming was about to compromise and decide to scrape together some more money to help Li Qiang solve the problem, when Li Qiang's mobile phone suddenly rang. Li Qiang picked up the phone, and it turned out to be a call from a friend of his.
"Li Qiang, I heard you need some lobsters to give away?" A friend's voice came from the other end of the line.
Li Qiang was a little surprised, but immediately replied: "Yes, I'm worried about this, what's wrong?" ”
"I happen to have a customer here who wants to buy lobsters in large quantities, and if you can deliver them on time, I can pay for them. The 30 lobsters you need, I can help you out. The friend's words made Li Qiang overjoyed.
"Really? That's great! Thank you! Li Qiang was so excited that he almost jumped up.
After hanging up the phone, Li forced himself to run to the living room and tell his family the good news. Zhang Ming, Li Li and Old Man Li were all there, and when they heard the news, everyone's faces showed a look of joy.
"Dad, sister, brother-in-law, things have taken a turn for the better! My friend is willing to pay for these 30 lobsters, as long as I deliver them on time! Li Qiang said excitedly.
Zhang Ming breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "That's great, things have finally settled." ”
Old Man Li also nodded, and the sadness on his face swept away: "This is really God's eyes, and finally let us get through this difficulty." ”
Li Li also said happily: "Great, so that we don't have to worry about this anymore." ”
A few days later, Li Qiang delivered 30 lobsters to his friend on time as agreed, and the matter was resolved smoothly. As a result, the conflict at home has been temporarily alleviated. The relationship between Zhang Ming and Li Qiang became closer, and Old Man Li's attitude towards Zhang Ming also eased.
One weekend evening, Li Li decided to invite her family to dinner to celebrate the successful settlement. She prepared a sumptuous dinner and everyone sat around the table and enjoyed themselves.
"It's not easy for us to sit here today and have a good meal." Li Li said with emotion.
Old Man Li picked up his wine glass and said to Zhang Ming: "Mingzi, I was a little harsh on you before, but in fact, you did it right, and the family should also pay attention to the rules." In the future, everyone should understand and support more. ”
Zhang Ming smiled and raised his glass: "Dad, if you can say that, my heart will be steady." Family, it's right to help each other, but the rules can't be messed up. We will work together in the future to make this home better and better. ”
Li Qiang also raised his glass and said gratefully: "Brother-in-law, thank you for your understanding and help this time." I will definitely work hard in the future and stop causing trouble to my family. ”
Aunt Liu smiled and said, "Okay, okay, everyone is not polite, and if there is a difficulty in the future, we will find a way together." As long as the family is together, any difficulties can be overcome. ”
Uncle Zhang also chimed in: "Yes, everyone should stop worrying about the past. We are one family, and solidarity is the most important thing. ”
The whole table was full of laughter, everyone chatted, recalled the bits and pieces of the past, and the atmosphere was warm and harmonious. The relationship between Zhang Ming and Li Qiang became even closer at this moment, and the understanding and support between family members reached a new height.
Li Li looked at this scene, and her heart was full of gratitude and satisfaction. She knows that the support and understanding of her family is paramount. No matter what difficulties they encounter in the future, they will face them together and solve them together.
The story ends in this happy scene, and the relationship between Zhang Ming, Li Qiang and their families becomes stronger. Through this incident, they learned to understand and tolerate, and also cherished each other's emotions and the warmth of their families even more.
