My aunt suddenly came to borrow money and brought a bag of grapes, and he: No one eats this now!
After returning to his hometown, Qiangzi rented a spacious house and invited his sister, brother-in-law and cousin to start a business together. For him, family responsibilities have always been an important task for him, so he knows that he must rely on his own efforts. His father once told him that he was not in good health and that he was too old to help much, so Qiangzi understood his thoughts and kept working hard.
The road to entrepreneurship was not easy, and at the beginning he did not have enough start-up capital, so he had to borrow money from the people around him. My father also tried his best to use his connections to help, but in the end he got limited. Luckily, a friend of his lent him $100,000, but the loan accrued interest on a daily basis. Even so, Hadron had a business acumen and paid off all his foreign debts in less than half a year. At the end of the year, he even bought a car worth 200,000 yuan, and when the car drove into the house, his aunt, who he hadn't seen for a long time, suddenly came.
The interaction between the Qiangzi family and his aunt and grandmother is actually not frequent.
Qiangzi's mother died shortly after the birth of her sister Lingling. Therefore, Lingling has little impression of her mother. She only knows that even her father was rare when she was a child, and her life was mainly spent with her grandmother and brother.
Although his mother had died, his father never started a family again. He has been raising Qiangzi and Lingling alone, and only takes them to visit relatives at his grandmother's house on August 15 and during the Chinese New Year. However, sometimes my father could not even come home on August 15 during busy periods, so they rarely went to my grandmother's house.
Every day, Qiangzi takes his sister to attend primary school in several nearby villages. My uncle and aunt's children also attend the same school, so we can often meet.
Sometimes Qiangzi will take the initiative to greet his aunt and them, but the aunt usually just responds softly and leaves.
When he was a child, Qiangzi didn't know why his aunt was like this, he just thought that his aunt was such a person, so he didn't care too much.
It often rains in the summer, and sometimes the weather is fine when you go to school, but it doesn't take long for it to rain.
Many parents come to pick up their children after school, but because of the grandmother's age, she can't come to pick up the children, especially on rainy days.
Once Qiangzi saw his aunt coming to pick up the child with an umbrella in her hand. He mistakenly thought that the umbrella was given to him by his aunt, but it was not, it turned out that his aunt's neighbor asked her to help give it to the neighbor's child. The aunt took her child and left in a hurry.
Soon, grandma also came. Perhaps seeing that Qiangzi was still waiting at the door of the class, Grandma found the two children. Then my aunt also rushed over. Grandma said that if you are not afraid of the rain, you can follow her, go to her grandmother's house for a meal, and then wait until the afternoon to send her back to school.
Lingling wanted to go, but was rejected by Hadron. He was worried that his grandmother would be anxious at home, so it was better to decide to go home.
The aunt looked at Qiangzi with a look of displeasure on her face. She said disdainfully: "I obviously told you to go, but you didn't go, and now you still have the face to say something!."Qiangzi may never forget his aunt's face full of disgust, disdain, disgust and contempt.
This happens a lot, after all, everyone goes to the same elementary school and often meets.
In addition to the sudden rain, the summer weather is extremely hot. The children were thirsty.
Qiangzi was better, but his sister couldn't bear the thirst and ran out of the window of her brother's classroom crying, saying that she was so thirsty that she wanted to cry.
However, there is still a while after school, and my sister can't stand her thirst anymore, what can I do?
Unfortunately, none of them brought water today.
At this moment, my aunt's child happened to run to the school gate to drink water, and my aunt personally brought water to her child to drink.
During recess at school, the doors are closed and students are not allowed to go out. However, the aunt skillfully handed the water to the children, passing it through the crack in the door. The surrounding onlookers also took the water bottle and took a sip. Among them, Qiangzi brought his sister over, anxious to drink water, and called his aunt's name again and again.
Perhaps because there were too many people, or because there was not enough water, the aunt began to get anxious and scolded loudly, saying that these children were all not wanted, and they were just here to compete for water. After calming down a little, it was Lingling's turn, but there was only one mouthful left in the water bottle. Lingling reached out and wanted to pick up the bottle to drink, but was disgusted by her aunt. So, the aunt took off the cap, poured the remaining water into the cap, and handed it to Lingling.
During the Chinese New Year, when my father came home from out of town, he would take his two children to visit his grandmother's house. Maybe it's because of the family's financial constraints, or because of the death of his mother, not only the aunt, but even the uncle doesn't like to see the Qiangzi family.
Later, I learned from my grandmother that my uncle and aunt did not approve of this family affair back then, especially my aunt, who had led someone to beat Qiangzi's father, accusing him of being poor, incompetent, short, and not good-looking.
However, my mother was fond of my father and had to get married. In the end, grandpa nodded, and the marriage was completed.
In the following three years, Qiangzi and Lingling were born one after another. However, shortly after Lingling was born, her mother also died.
At that time, the aunt and uncle came to **, especially the aunt, who almost smashed the head of Qiangzi's father with a shovel. Eventually, several people stepped in to put an end to the conflict. Since then, the uncle and sister-in-law have almost cut off contact with the Qiangzi family.
At the same time, Qiangzi's father has been working in the field and rarely comes home. Gradually, the relationship between the several families faded and they lost contact.
My aunt and uncle live in their hometown and often meet Qiangzi and Lingling. However, their attitude towards Qiangzi and Lingling is not friendly, and they are often unhappy. Whether Qiangzi actively greeted them or shouted "Auntie", Auntie was expressionless, and sometimes even ignored them directly.
Grandma once said that treat people who are kind should be courteous. No matter how the aunt and uncle treat the strong son, as long as the strong son has not done anything wrong, there is no need to care. However, if you don't greet someone when you see someone, it will be rude.
My aunt's family has a beautiful vineyard in the east of the village, and my uncle and grandmother help manage it every year. Sometimes, Hadron would also take his sister there to play. The children love to play under the vines and look forward to picking and enjoying the grapes in the yard when they are ripe.
In recent years, however, the Hadron has not been able to taste grapes. Whenever the grapes were ripe, my aunt's family was always busy. Grandma would also go to help with sales, but even then, Hadron couldn't taste it. Lingling is very greedy, she just wants to pick up some fallen grapes under the tree to eat, but every time she is driven away by her aunt. Auntie's words were very harsh, and even said that even if the grapes rotted on the ground, Lingling should not be allowed to pick them up and eat them casually.
When the grapes were about to ripen, the vineyard was open to the public, and many people flocked to pick and eat them, but the aunt did not allow them to enter.
Qiangzi recalled that sometimes the grapes had gone bad and could not be sold, so his aunt would pour baskets of grapes into a roadside ditch or give them to a neighbor to feed the pigs. But among these grapes, Lingling also wanted to eat them, but she didn't taste any of them.
Later, when Qiangzi's father learned about the incident, he was unable to deal with it directly because he was out of town. He had to ask the child's grandmother for help, and told her to go to the market town to buy some specific items, and buy some at any cost.
Soon after, Qiangzi's uncle got a grapevine sapling and planted it in the yard. This made Hadron so excited that he and his sister often went to water the tree, hoping that the tree would grow quickly.
Subsequently, the younger sister dropped out of school to follow her father to work, while Qiangzi stayed at home to live with her grandmother. Despite his good grades, he ended up in a good university.
During the summer vacation, Qiangzi went to another place to find his father. However, more money is needed in order to go to college.
At the end of the summer vacation, Hadron returned to his hometown to pack his luggage. At this time, his grandmother came to tell him that his aunt and uncles had come up with a few hundred yuan to celebrate his admission to college, because he was the first college student in the family. Grandma also asked someone to convey that if Qiangzi went, he would have money to take;If you don't go, forget it, because grandma is too old to walk far.
Qiangzi didn't say much, thinking forget it, after all, the old man didn't have much money. Grandma mentioned that when her uncle and aunt's children were admitted to college, they each took 500 yuan, and now it is her turn, and it makes sense to want it at all. But Qiangzi has grown up and knows that his aunt will not give him money, so he simply chooses not to go, so as not to cause disputes.
Not long ago, Qiangzi got off the bus and met his aunt by chance, and the two just exchanged a few words, and then they didn't contact each other.
In this case, he didn't feel the need to take the initiative to go to her.
In the next four years of college, my father and Lingling worked hard to support Qiangzi's living expenses, which was not easy, but they finally graduated.
Now every year during the Chinese New Year, Qiangzi will go to his grandmother's house with his father and sister to pay New Year's greetings, and sometimes meet his aunt, and the family will get together for a meal.
My aunt has had a good life over the years, her daughter is married, married to a wealthy man, and her son is not bad and is admitted to a big business. The family built a new building, purchased a real estate in the urban area, and changed from a small car of more than 100,000 yuan to a luxurious BMW, and life can be described as quite comfortable.
Every time I go to my grandmother's house, my grandmother always praises my aunt and praises her again and again.
When the aunt saw that the family was still driving the tricycle that had been in disrepair for a long time, she showed "concern" and suggested that if it rained, her brother-in-law should drive them home instead of getting drenched in the rain.
Lingling heard that she was provoking and wanted to talk back, but was stopped by Hadron.
In today's society, it's better to get into less trouble.
A few years later, my father's condition deteriorated and he could no longer work hard, so he had to return to his hometown from other places to recuperate and find odd jobs.
The family is still an old house, not renovated, and the strong son has gradually grown up, reaching the age of talking about marriage, but this house is really not an ideal place to attract women.
Qiangzi returned to his hometown and started a business plan, inviting those closest to him to join him.
Despite the promising prospects of the project, the funding needed to get it started became a major challenge.
The father was no longer physically fit for labor, and the family's limited savings were too limited to support this new venture.
Therefore, the father began to borrow money from the people around him, but when he heard that it was for his son's entrepreneurial business, many people refused. In particular, the uncle and aunt did not hesitate to refuse support, saying that their children were also starting a business and were burdened with a lot of debt. The aunt even said that the family had just paid off their foreign debts a few years ago, and now they would never dare to take any more risks to support another business plan.
The father ultimately failed to raise enough money.
In the end, it was one of Qiangzi's junior high school classmates who reached out and helped him raise a start-up fund. In just half a year, Hadron successfully paid off his foreign debts and finally bought a car at the end of the year.
When the car arrived home, many people came to watch. That year was the richest year for Hadron.
Over the next three months, Hadron achieved more than 400,000 results. He resolutely used the money for the family so that his father could build a new house. The old house was no longer inhabitable, and he had reached an age where he needed a stable place to live. If he didn't have a house, he felt that his marriage might have been in vain.
News about who will build a house in the village is always spreading quickly, and things like whose children can afford to buy a car are even more divine.
Later, my grandmother, uncle, and aunt also knew about these things.
One time on his grandmother's birthday, Qiangzi drove a car and took his father and sister with him. This time, Qiangzi felt a noticeable change: his uncle asked him if he liked to eat braised pork, and his aunt brought a chair for his father, a scene that had never been seen before.
Everyone has high hopes for Hadron and believes that he has excellent abilities and will definitely become a successful big boss in the future.
However, talking about the future, the mood gradually became heavy: "It would be nice if my mother was still here." ”
Qiangzi felt at a loss and tried to comfort her aunt, hoping that she would stop being sad and look forward.
It's the annual grape harvest season again. This year, my aunt's grapes are growing well, and she hired two people to help deal with them. In the afternoon, if there were any remaining grapes, they would pass by the door of Qiangzi's house and deliver some by the way.
One day, my aunt's family came to visit and brought a lot of grapes. They put the grapes on the table and had a pleasant conversation with Qiangzi's father.
Hadron knew that without further ado, he felt that something must be happening.
Sure enough, after some polite words, the aunt spoke, and she wanted to borrow 280,000 yuan for the child's wedding.
Qiangzi's father was taken aback and didn't dare to express his position easily, so he could only look at Qiangzi. Qiangzi was also confused, he thought, do you need so much money to get married now?
However, this is not the case. The aunt explained that the wedding required a bride price of 180,000 yuan, and the remaining 100,000 yuan was used to buy a car for her new daughter-in-law as a means of transportation. In the future, when you have money, you will change to a better one.
These words left Hadron a little speechless.
What's going on?Am I becoming everyone's ATM?
Auntie, I really don't have this money. ”
Don't say such things, how can you run a company without money?I've heard about your house and your car. I heard that you earn more than 100,000 yuan a month, can you lend some to my aunt?After all, we are relatives, and I will definitely pay you back. ”
Qiangzi knew in his heart that he did have some savings. But why should I borrow money from him for the bride price and the car?
Again, he stressed that he really didn't have the money.
The conversation lasted more than half an hour and ended unpleasantly.
When leaving, Qiangzi gave a bunch of grapes to his aunt: "No one eats these grapes now, and there is still a vine in my yard." ”
The aunt angrily took the grapes.
At the end of the year, Qiangzi took people to his grandmother's house to pay New Year's greetings, and his aunt was also present.
In the small talk, the uncle said: "After the New Year, I plan to let my children work in Hadron's company. It's not a good thing that this kid can't be idle all the time. You can pay as much as you want, 8,000 or 10,000, after all, it is our family's company, so it's good to be comfortable at will. ”
The aunt frowned: "That's someone's own company, not ours." If you want to go, you can go. ”
Her words made the atmosphere awkward.
Hadron fell silent, unable to find a suitable response.
Looking back on this journey, Hadron feels that it is not easy. As the first college student in his family, he didn't get any help. Back then, I relied on borrowing money to go to school and start a business, but I didn't have the support of my relatives. Now I have finally made a good start, but I am constantly being restrained and interfered by my relatives.
Is there family affection when there is wealth?What was previously unobtainable, now someone is bringing it. But if you are poor, you can't even get the grapes that fall from the ground?
What is this kind of family affection?
Hadron didn't understand and didn't want to explain. All he knew was that whoever came to borrow the money would not lend it to him again.
