Gengwu, my uncle

In the morning, the weather was pouring with light rain, and by noon, it was getting bigger. According to the rules of the elders, the Mid-Autumn Festival should give gifts to the uncle.

After finishing my busy work in the morning, I went directly to my uncle's house. The old uncle was older and was taken to town by his cousin. So I bought a gift directly from the supermarket in my cousin's neighborhood and went straight to my cousin's house.

Carrying the gift, he went up to the fifth floor in one breath and knocked on the door of the old uncle's house. The cousin opened the door and saw the old man who had not been seen for a long time. When my uncle saw me, he was as happy as usual, but my uncle did not have the tall figure of the past, and his back was slightly bent, sitting on the sofa drinking tea. While counting down my money to buy things, I pulled the homely routine.

My uncle was born in a family of declining landlords, and he did not enjoy a day's blessing, but he suffered most of his life. My uncle has been versatile since childhood, and my mother said that my uncle has an erhu, and that the piano is the best. When the farmer is idle, the neighbors love to listen to uncle La's model play. My uncle's academic performance was the best in the class, and due to his poor birth, he did not let him go to school. There are many sisters in the family, and the uncle is an older brother. Grandpa died early, so the burden of the family fell on the shoulders of the uncle early.

The children of the poor are in charge of the family early. Carrying water, going to the ground, watering the ground, planting vegetables, harvesting crops, the most bitter and tiring work, are all done by uncles. But my uncle is also smart, learned the craft of grinding tofu, and will rush to the market to do some small business. In the past, I could always eat the sugar cubes made by my uncle's sugar mixture for making tofu skin. With this skill, the uncle supported the whole family and supported the expenses of the whole family.

As soon as there was a so-called delicious food in the family, he always said that he did not like to eat, and let it be given to my mother and aunt. This habit has been preserved to this day.

When it was time to eat, my cousin gave my uncle a bowl of ribs, he always said that he did not like to eat, with chopsticks clipped to the grandson, and then clipped to me, he only ate a little stewed meat and soup. Under the trembling chopsticks, I let go and let go, under the kind eyes of my uncle, like when I was a child, I silently picked up the bowl.

Time flew by, taking away a lot, listening to the loose and tight rain outside the window, I could only silently wish in my heart, may my uncle be healthy and healthy!
