During the Spring Festival of that year, I went to my uncle's house to borrow money and returned empty-handed, and the next day, my cousin, who was married to the city, came
The cold winter wind, mixed with the sporadic sound of cannonballs, penetrated into my thin collar, and I wrapped my coat tightly, but I could not warm the chill in my heart.
It was the Spring Festival of 2010, and I had just been admitted to university from a small county town in my hometown, and before I had time to experience the excitement of university life, I was disrupted by the sudden changes in my family. My father was injured in an accident on the construction site, and the high medical expenses were like a big mountain, which weighed down our whole family.
In order to treat his father's illness, the family borrowed everything they could, but it was still a drop in the bucket. In desperation, my mother took me on the road to my uncle's house to borrow money.
My uncle's family is in the town and has opened a small supermarket, and life is quite prosperous. Along the way, I silently prayed in my heart, hoping that my uncle would lend us some money to tide over the difficulties for the sake of our family.
When I arrived at my uncle's house, before I entered the door, I heard the sound of mahjong colliding in the yard, mixed with my aunt's sharp laughter. I felt a "chuckle" in my heart, and a bad premonition came over me.
My mother dragged me into the yard, and when my aunt saw us, the smile on her face suddenly disappeared without a trace, she squinted her eyes and looked us up and down, and said in a lukewarm tone, "Yo, isn't this my college niece?" What, it's a holiday? Why don't you enjoy the happiness in the city, and come to our poor country? ”
I endured the unhappiness in my heart, squeezed out a smile, and before I could speak, my mother rushed to say, "Brother and sister, your brother and his ...... Something happened on the construction site, this is not lying in the hospital, we really have no choice, so we came to you for help......"
The mother's voice grew quieter and quieter, and she almost choked up as she spoke. My nose was sore, and tears were rolling in my eyes.
"Borrowing money? How much to borrow? The aunt interrupted the mother in a stiff tone.
"One hundred thousand ......," I whispered.
"One hundred thousand?!" My aunt seemed to have heard some big joke, and exclaimed exaggeratedly, "I said sister, you are a bank in our family?" 100,000 yuan, you should have been blown by a strong wind? ”
I bit my lip, my fists clenched tightly, my nails digging deep into my flesh, but I didn't feel a trace of pain.
Seeing that we didn't speak, my aunt continued: "I didn't say you, sister, you said that you are too, the family is like this, how can you still provide for your children to go to college?" What's the use of reading so many books for girls? Come out early to work to make money, and you can also help the family, do you think this is the reason? ”
"You ......" The mother trembled with anger, pointing at her aunt and couldn't speak for a long time.
I couldn't hold back any longer, so I grabbed my mother's hand and said, "Mom, let's go!" ”
"Hey, you kid, how do you talk?" When my aunt saw that we were leaving, she chased after us reluctantly.
I pulled my mother's head and walked out without looking back, and my aunt's harsh voice came from behind me: "It's really poor, no politeness at all!" You deserve your bad luck! ”
The bitter cold wind blew on his face, and it hurt like a knife. I hugged my mother tightly and let the tears flow freely.
When I got home, I looked at my weak father lying on the hospital bed, I endured my grief and comforted my mother, saying, "Mom, don't worry, I will go to the city tomorrow to work, I will definitely earn money to treat my father!" ”
My mother hugged me and wept silently.
That night, I had insomnia. Lying on the bed, my mind kept replaying my aunt's bitter face and the sentence "You deserve your family's bad luck".
I hate, I hate my aunt's ruthlessness, and I hate my own powerlessness even more.
Early the next morning, as I was about to go out, there was a sharp knock on the door.
I opened the door, and a familiar figure appeared in front of me.
"Cousin!" I cried out in surprise.
My cousin is my uncle's daughter, a few years older than me, who married in the city a few years ago and rarely goes back to her hometown.
"Xiaoyu, what's wrong? Why do you cry with a sad face? The cousin asked with concern.
I couldn't control my emotions anymore, so I threw myself into my cousin's arms and told her everything that had happened yesterday.
After listening to my story, my cousin frowned, she patted me gently on the back, comforted me and said, "Xiaoyu, don't be sad, your aunt is like this, don't be like her." ”
I looked up, looked at my cousin with teary eyes, and asked, "Cousin, what should I do?" My dad's medical bills ......"
The cousin smiled softly and said, "Silly girl, don't worry, I'll figure out a way for your father's medical expenses." ”
I was stunned, unable to believe my ears.
"Really? Thank you, cousin! I grabbed my cousin's hand excitedly, and tears welled up in my eyes again.
My cousin took out her mobile phone, dialed a call, and after saying a few words, she hung up the phone, then looked at me and said, "Xiaoyu, I have already contacted the hospital in the city, and I will arrange for your father to be transferred to the hospital this afternoon." ”
I was speechless in astonishment, and I was touched by my cousin's resoluteness.
In the afternoon, with the help of his cousin, my father was successfully transferred to the hospital in the city.
After settling my father, I took my cousin's hand and said gratefully, "Cousin, thank you so much this time, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't know what to do." ”
The cousin smiled and said, "The family doesn't talk about it, your father's illness is important, and other things will be talked about when they are cured." ”
I know that my cousin not only helped us pay for the medical bills, but also helped us connect with the best doctors, all because of her care and love for our family.
With the help of my cousin, my father's condition gradually improved, and I finally breathed a sigh of relief.
In order to reduce the burden on my family, I used my spare time to find a part-time job near the hospital, although it was hard, but I felt very fulfilling, because I knew that my efforts were all for my family.
During the Spring Festival that year, although I did not have gorgeous clothes or a sumptuous Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, I felt the warmth of family affection and the brilliance of humanity.
I will never forget my cousin's helping hand when I was most helpless, and the kindness she gave me in the snow.
After experiencing that incident, I understood that in life, we will inevitably encounter all kinds of difficulties and setbacks, but as long as we have hope and face them bravely, we will definitely be able to overcome difficulties and usher in our own spring.
I also understand that family affection is the most valuable treasure in the world, it is like a beacon that illuminates our way forward, and it is also like a warm harbor, so that we can anchor and rest when we are tired.
I would like to thank my cousin, who made me feel the true love and warmth of the world, and also made me cherish the happy life in front of me even more.
