The winter of 1978 was particularly cold, the whole village was covered in a thick layer of snow, and the cold wind howled through every alley. In this bitter cold season, the villagers have not stopped their work, because an important project is underway in the village - the construction of a dam. The dam is not only about irrigation, but also the hope for the future of the whole village.
Li Jianguo is a young man from the village, he is tall, dark-skinned, and his hands are particularly rough because of years of labor. Despite the cold weather, he insisted on coming to the construction site early every day to work with the villagers. However, due to poor family conditions, Li Jianguo's clothes were thin, and he shivered in the cold wind every day.
On this day, before dawn, Li Jianguo got up in a hurry, and rushed to the construction site after eating a few bites of cold food. On the construction site, people are busy carrying rocks and building the foundation of the dam. Li Jianguo stood aside, took a deep breath, and then joined the team. His task is to carry sediment, which may seem simple, but in the cold wind, the job becomes extremely difficult.
Suddenly, Li Jianguo stepped on the air, and the whole person fell into the river next to him. The icy river water instantly soaked through his cotton pants, and he shivered with cold. "Pull me up!" Li Jianguo shouted with all his might. The workers rushed over and pulled him out of the water.
"How are you? Cold or not? Uncle Wang asked with concern.
"Cold ...... It's so cold......" Li Jianguo's voice trembled, his cotton pants were already soaked, and he shivered from the cold.
At this time, a strange uncle came over, he was wearing a thick cotton coat and looked to be in his fifties. "Come, boy, put on these cotton pants." Uncle said as he took out a pair of new cotton pants from his bag.
"This ...... How embarrassing is this......" Li Jianguo looked at the uncle gratefully, but was a little embarrassed to take it.
"You're welcome, change it on, or you'll freeze." The uncle smiled and stuffed the cotton pants into Li Jianguo's hand.
Li Jianguo reacted at this time, and hurriedly took off the soaked cotton pants and replaced them with the new cotton pants given by the uncle. Suddenly, a wave of warmth came from the legs, dispelling a little cold.
"Uncle, you're so nice. What's your name and where do you live? I must thank you very much. Li Jianguo asked gratefully.
"Oh, don't thank me, it's a trivial matter." Uncle waved his hand, "I still have something to do, let's go first." With that, the uncle turned to leave, leaving only a back in the cold wind.
Li Jianguo looked at the uncle's back, and his heart was full of gratitude. He tried to catch up and ask for clarification, but the cold and exhaustion prevented him from moving. Back at the construction site, the workers all gathered around.
"You're so lucky to meet such a kind uncle."
"Yes, on this cold day, if it weren't for these cotton pants, you would be in trouble."
Li Jianguo nodded, and silently recorded this kindness in his heart. Although the uncle did not leave his name and contact information, he vowed to find this kind person in the future and thank him in person.

Time flies, and decades have passed in the blink of an eye. With his own hard work and diligence, Li Jianguo has become a well-known entrepreneur in the village. He started a construction company that not only improved the lives of himself and his family, but also provided many employment opportunities for the village. However, no matter how successful his career was, Li Jianguo never forgot the strange uncle that winter.
One day, Li Jianguo sat in the office, and his heart once again remembered the warm cotton pants and the uncle's kind smile. He decided not to delay any longer and immediately set out to find the uncle. That night, he returned home and mentioned the idea to his wife, Chen Mei.
"Meizi, I have always had something in my heart that I can't let go, do you remember the uncle I told you? I want to find him and thank him well. Li Jian said firmly in Chinese.
"Of course, you mentioned it many times. I've got your back, hurry up and find it. Chen Mei smiled and nodded.
So, Li Jianguo began his journey to find his uncle. He first returned to the construction site and asked the old people who were still in the village about the uncle's news.
"Uncle Li, there was an uncle who saved my life back then, and he gave me a new pair of cotton pants, do you remember?" Li Jianguo asked an old man in the village.
"The uncle you are talking about seems to be from the next village. He is very kind and always helps everyone with their work. Uncle Li recalled.
"The next village? Thank you, Uncle Li, I'll go over there and have a look. Li Jianguo's heart ignited hope.
Li Jianguo rushed to the next village non-stop and continued to inquire about the uncle's news. After several days of searching, he finally found the uncle's address. The excitement made him not take a break, and immediately rushed to the uncle's house. However, when he knocked on the door, he found the room empty.
"Excuse me, who are you looking for?" The neighbor's aunt poked her head out and asked.
"Hello auntie, I'm looking for an uncle who saved me in 1978. Do you know where he went? Li Jianguo asked impatiently.
"Uncle, he seems to have gone to work in the fields. Let's go to the fields and have a look. Auntie pointed to the field in the distance.
After Li Jianguo thanked him, he immediately walked towards the field. Under the sun, the fields are a busy scene. Li Jianguo anxiously searched in the field, and finally saw a familiar figure on the edge of a rice field. The figure was hunched over and wielding a hoe.
"Uncle!" Li Jianguo shouted and ran over quickly.
The uncle put down the hoe and turned to look at Li Jianguo. His face was wrinkled, but his eyes were still kind.
"Young man, are you ......" Uncle looked at Li Jianguo suspiciously.
"I'm Li Jianguo, you saved me back then and gave me a pair of new cotton pants, do you remember?" Li Jianguo said excitedly, tears shining in his eyes.
"Oh, I remember, you were the guy who fell into the water. How did you find here? Uncle suddenly realized and said with a smile.
"After so many years, I have always remembered your kindness, and today I finally found you." Li Jianguo excitedly shook his uncle's hand, "Uncle, you are really my great benefactor." ”
"Haha, don't say that, it was just a gesture back then. I'm glad to see you're doing so well now. The uncle patted Li Jianguo's shoulder, with a relieved smile on his face.
The two chatted in the field for a long time, and Li Jianguo realized that the uncle was still living a simple life. Li Jianguo invited the uncle to his house to sit down, and told about his experience over the years and his gratitude to the uncle.

Li Jianguo took the gift and returned to the village to visit the uncle again. This time, he not only brought a variety of gifts, but also a heart full of gratitude. Chen Mei and the children also came, and the family walked to the uncle's house with great anticipation.
When he arrived at the door of the uncle's house, Li Jianguo knocked lightly on the door. The uncle soon opened the door and saw Li Jianguo's family, with a relieved smile on his face.
"Li Jianguo, here you go again! I'm bringing so many people this time, so come in and sit down. Uncle greeted warmly.
Li Jianguo walked into the room and put the gifts he brought on the table. "Uncle, this is a little bit of our family's heart, I hope you can accept it."
"Oops, so many gifts, so polite." Uncle said with some embarrassment.
"That's what we're supposed to do, I don't know what would have happened without you." Li Jianguo said sincerely.
The two families sat together, and Li Jianguo began to tell the story of that year. From the cold winter of 1978, to falling into the river, to the warm cotton pants that the uncle showed up and handed him. Every detail feels like it happened yesterday.
Uncle listened, with a faint smile on his face. "Xiao Jianguo, I was just a gesture back then, but I didn't expect you to keep it in my heart."
"Those cotton pants not only saved my life, but also made me feel the warmth of the world. Without your help, I probably wouldn't have survived that winter. Li Jianguo's eyes glistened with tears.
"Don't say that, everyone was a villager back then, and it was right to help each other." Uncle waved his hand and spoke softly.
Chen Mei also took over, "Uncle, Jianguo has always said that he wants to find you, thank you so much." Over the years, he has never forgotten your kindness. ”
"I'm so happy to see that your family is so happy now." Uncle said, his eyes full of relief.
The uncle's wife also sat on the sidelines, smiling at the group. She brought hot tea and snacks, and everyone sat around the kang and chatted about family life. Children were playing on the sidelines, and the room was filled with laughter.
As time went on, the relationship between the two families grew closer. Li Jianguo often brought his family to visit his uncle, and the two families celebrated festivals and dinners together, becoming friends like a family.
The people in the village also heard the story of Li Jianguo and his uncle, and praised this precious friendship. Whenever someone mentions this story, they are filled with emotion.

The villagers also expressed their desire to learn from the uncle, help each other, and build a better home together.

"Good boy, I am very pleased that you have this heart." Uncle said with a smile.
