Tsk, you better take this red envelope back, I'm not short of the 500. ”
When my good brother Lao Lin gets married, I naturally want to come to eat and drink, and money is also essential. I gave out my share of the money, and I found a seat for myself and waited for the table to begin.
As a result, Lao Lin came to me with the red envelope I gave and asked me to take it back.
I blushed: "500 is a little less, after all, it is your big day." This is what my wife prepared, and if I had known, I would have added some more. ”
With that, I took out my wallet, ready to save face.
But Lao Lin didn't allow me to refuse, stopped my hand to take the money, and forcefully stuffed the red envelope I gave back into my pocket.
This is the first time that a red envelope has been returned, and if it were someone else, I would definitely chase after the red envelope.
But I know his temper, and I've always been the same.
At his wedding, I had a bad argument with him, so I could only take back the red envelope in embarrassment.
As the groom, he had to entertain other guests, so he didn't have time to talk to me. Returning the red envelope, he was busy greeting others.
When I met him, we were both elementary school students. Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, we all got married.
Looking at Lao Lin, who was full of red light and had a good conversation with the guests, I had mixed feelings in my heart.
Speaking of which, as early as high school, we opened up a gap in each other's lives.
My grades are average, and he suddenly became angry, and his grades looked at it. I later learned that he was there to fulfill his father's last wish.
His father was diagnosed with cancer, and it is likely that he will not survive the college entrance examination.
In order for his father to have no regrets, he brought out his potential, and he must let his father close his eyes with peace of mind.
And he did it, becoming the dark horse of our class. To the surprise of his teacher, he was admitted to the heavy book.
I was happy for him in my heart, but I only got three exams, and I inevitably felt a little behind.
Before he treated his father's illness, their family was hollowed out, and my family gave him financial support.
My parents are warm-hearted people and said they didn't need him to pay him back, but Lao Lin insisted on paying it off.
But that didn't affect our relationship, and we got together during the holidays. After joining the work, we chose to work hard in the same city.
But seeing the gap between us getting bigger and bigger, in front of him, I sometimes even feel inferior.
For example, being in this exquisite and high-end wedding scene.
When I got married, there was far less pomp and circumstance, and my income simply couldn't afford it, and Lao Lin was my best man at that time.
Coincidentally, the bouquet happened to fall into his arms, and I ate his wedding wine in less than two years.
When I received his wedding invitation, I regretted that I couldn't be his best man.
But now looking at those standmen who are tall and well-dressed, I am glad that I can't be the best man.
When it came to the toasting session, Lao Lin held the beautiful bride to toast.
I suppressed the discomfort in my heart and grinned and wished them a hundred years of happiness, and Lao Lin seemed to have forgotten the little episode just now.
When he finishes toasting, I want to talk to him.
Seeing that he was chatting with a few groomsmen, I finally sat back in my place and ate in silence.
Those groomsmen and I weren't even ordinary friends, but Lao Lin had dinner together a few times.
Maybe what I thought was a good brother didn't think of me as a best friend for a long time.
After staying up until the end of the banquet, I found Lao Lin: "The ceremony is light and affectionate, this time it was my brother's negligence." Wait for your child's full moon wine, I will definitely wrap a big red envelope!”
Lao Lin frowned, and he didn't mean to accept it.
If you say don't, don't, do you want to make me angry on my wedding day?”
After saying that, he hurried away under the pretext that the bride was waiting for him.
Lao Lin said that he was talking about this, and I didn't know what to do if I caught up with it. So I came home with the money I couldn't give away, and I came home with mixed feelings.
My wife saw that my face was not good, and sighed sadly: "He's too little, isn't he?"Did you do what I said?”
I nodded and handed her the red envelope: "He returned it." ”
This money was not prepared by my wife at all, but we negotiated it.
In fact, after stuffing the 500 into the red envelope, I was weak-hearted, after all, Lao Lin gave me nearly 2,000 money.
My wife was afraid that Lao Lin and I would hurt our feelings because of these 500 people, so I pushed the responsibility on her.
But we would never have thought that Lao Lin would be so disgusted that he didn't want to accept it.
You guys are brothers who have known each other for so many years, why don't he give him any face. Don't take it to heart, this kind of brother is a big deal!”
My wife was upset for me, and I only felt more sad.
Lao Lin has now climbed to the management of a large company, and I am just an ordinary employee of a small company.
People go to high places, water flows to low places, I can't keep up with the footsteps of Lao Lin, and it's not surprising that I was left behind.
But when I think of being looked down upon by my former good brother, I still can't help but feel sad.
Just as I was immersed in the memories, my wife pulled me back to reality with an exclamation. I leaned over to look at it, and tears welled up in my eyes.
Lao Lin returned the red envelope with something in it, and it was a check.
I know the handwriting on the check, it belongs to Lao Lin. And except for Lao Lin, no one will stuff a check into my red envelope for no reason.
If you look at the number on the check, it is 50,000!Only then did I understand Lao Lin's true intention of returning the red envelope.
Lao Lin didn't dislike my followers for having little money, but took the opportunity to give me money.
Recently, my family has not been doing well, and my parents have been diagnosed with the problem one after another, and they have to undergo surgery. Their surgery fee, plus the follow-up ** fee, will cost forty or fifty thousand yuan.
Our mortgage hasn't been paid off, and our one-year-old child is waiting to be fed. There are old and young, and the pressure is like a mountain.
If it weren't for the fact that I was really short of money, I wouldn't have been able to do anything with a gift of 500.
I only asked Lao Lin to drink these troubles, and after drinking too much, I mentioned them.
Lao Lin said that he could help me cushion first, but I was embarrassed to borrow money from him who was going to get married, I thought he had forgotten about it a long time ago.
It turned out that he had always kept it in mind, and it was estimated that when he saw that I only gave a gift of 500, he knew my embarrassment.
He knew that it wouldn't work to give me cash directly, so he gave me money in this tactful way. That's 50,000 yuan, and I can't tear up the check.
I burst into tears, and I was excited to call Lao Lin. My wife hurriedly stopped me and asked me not to spoil his good life.
The next day, I stayed up all morning, and waited until noon to call Lao Lin**.
Lao Lin, I'm ......”
Lao Lin understood me, and before I could finish speaking, he interrupted me.
If it's a brother, don't talk too much, if I didn't have your parents to help me, where did I come from now?Just when I repay your family's great kindness, you don't want to be reckless, and living a good life is more important than anything else. ”
I was ashamed of my misunderstanding of him yesterday, and a thousand words were only summed up in one sentence.
Thank you for your kindness, you are my brother for life. ”
With this money, I finally got through the difficult time in front of me.
It's not easy to have a close friend in life, but I cherish it, and I'm glad I didn't impulsively destroy this friendship.
