As time went on, I had almost forgotten about that hurried cousin visit. It was as if it were just a brief dream, overwhelmed by the daily trivialities. However, a sudden ** pulled me back into that unexpected memory.
* The bell rings in the quiet of the afternoon, which seems a little abrupt. I picked up my phone and it showed a familiar number on the screen, it was my cousin. His voice sounded tired through the earpiece, but with a hint of imperceptible eagerness.
Hey, is that you? He asked, a slight uncertainty in his voice.
Yes, it's me. I replied, a hint of surprise welling up in my heart. On weekdays, we don't keep in touch very often, and his call made me a little puzzled.
I ......I have something I want you to help me with. The cousin said in a slurred, his tone revealing a little helplessness.
I was slightly stunned, I didn't know what difficulties he had encountered, and he needed to ask my cousin, who was far away, for help. But I didn't ask much, just tried to be as calm as I could and said, "Say, if I can help, I'll do my best." ”
The cousin was silent for a moment, as if organizing the language. Then, slowly, he uttered his request. It turned out that he had accidentally lost an important document during a business trip. This document means a lot to him, not only about his work, but also about some personal matters. He searched for a long time but couldn't find it, and finally he thought of me.
I think it may have been when I was at your house that night and accidentally left a file somewhere. The cousin said, with a hint of earnestness in his voice, "I know it's troublesome, but I really can't help it." That document was too important to me to lose it. ”
Hearing this, I finally understood why my cousin had been acting cold before. It turned out that he had been bothered by this matter. I couldn't help but feel a sense of sympathy and a sense of happiness in my heart. Glad that although he was a little disappointed at the beginning, he still tried his best to entertain him and did not make him feel more uneasy.
Don't worry, I'll help you find it right away. I reassured, "Do you remember where you went that night?" Or are there any possible clues? ”
My cousin thought about it and told me about some possible places. As soon as I hung up, I started looking for the document at home. I rummaged through the guest rooms, the living room, the kitchen, and even my own room. Finally, in the gap between the bedside table and the wall in the guest room, I found the document that my cousin had forgotten.
I took the papers and let out a long sigh of relief. Then, I immediately called my cousin and told him that I had found the document and asked him how to send it over. When my cousin heard the news, he was obviously very excited. He thanked me repeatedly, and his voice revealed indescribable joy.
A few days later, my cousin came to pick up the documents in person. This time his attitude changed completely, no longer cold, but chatted with me enthusiastically. He said that he had solved the big problem at work by retrieving the documents, and he also brought a gift to thank me. We sat on the couch, tasting pastries, eating and talking.
My cousin told me in detail about the importance of the document and how happy he was when he got it back. There was gratitude in his words. I also shared some of my recent and interesting facts with him, and the distance between us was quietly narrowed in the middle of talking and laughing.
During the chat, I couldn't help but think back to the time I spent with my cousin. Although our personalities and interests differ, the ties of blood keep us connected.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it is getting late. My cousin got up to say goodbye, and I escorted him to the door. At the moment of waving goodbye, we looked at each other and smiled, our hearts filled with warmth and anticipation. Maybe this is the power of family affection, even if they are busy on weekdays, they can always support each other and get through difficulties together at critical moments.
