My uncle --

uncle

■Xi Qin

If my uncle is still here, he would be 75 years old this year. Two years ago, on April 22, he left this world.

Looking out the window at the drizzling rain, I seemed to hear my uncle say to me in his vague voice, "Second son, bring these apples back, I can't eat now, and when I'm well, you'll come to see me again." But my uncle didn't wait for that day.

As soon as I left the hospital, he left this world with all his reluctance and regret.

My uncle's home was not far from my hometown, separated only by a road about four meters wide and a crop field. When I was a child, I used to go to my uncle's house to stay. My uncle always took out a few brightly colored sweet and sour tomatoes from the wheat pile and stuffed them for me, and said to me with a smile: "Eat fast, eat fast!"

My uncle's family had four children, and he had a hard time in that not-so-wealthy era. Nevertheless, every time I stayed at his house and had something to eat, he would always give me one more than the other siblings. Because there are many sisters and sisters, and fun, my mother urged me to go home, and I was always reluctant to leave. Now that I think about it, I was a little ignorant.

Although my uncle was a poor man, he was also a loving man. At that time, it was common to see some homeless people with a broken bowl and a cane begging for food, and the uncle would rather be hungry than give his own food to others.

Uncle is an honest man. There was a small road behind his house, which was often passed by, and once he picked up a wallet. He took a piece of wood and sat there foolishly, waiting for the lost owner to return. His aunt called him home, but he didn't return, so angry that his aunt called him like a fool.

The uncle's cousin was the youngest of his uncle's children, and the uncle him all his life until he left. The family was in the countryside, and the sisters and sisters were easy to marry, but it was not easy to get a daughter-in-law in the countryside at that time.

In order to enable his brother to marry his daughter-in-law, the uncle is not afraid of suffering or tiredness. The family's grain could not be sold for a few dollars, so he once rode a bicycle to various villages to collect empty bottles. Finally, after several years of hard work, he helped his brother marry his daughter-in-law. Later, the uncle got his wish and had 2 grandchildren.

Later, every family went to the city to buy a house, and my cousin did the same. My uncle gave his son tens of thousands of dollars of his life savings and bought a house in the city. He thought that a happy day would come, but when his uncle was ill, he accidentally learned that his daughter-in-law had left her two young children and left her son with all the family's savings. He could no longer hold on, and he left this world reluctantly. I heard that before my uncle left, he often murmured: "I didn't think it would be like this, I couldn't imagine that it would be like this, I was so good to her, she still scolded me, she also left..."

My uncle left like this, with concern for his cousin, with deep regret, and left us.

Time passed slowly, and in this drizzly April, I thought of my uncle again.
