I have been staying in the field for several years during the epidemic, and I can finally go home this year, not to mention how happy I am. On the third day of the Lunar New Year, my relatives made an appointment to come to my house for dinner.
Everything went smoothly, everyone ate and drank, complaining about the hardships under the epidemic in the past few years, and chatting about finding a job after the New Year. The second uncle said casually, "Fatty, if you have any work to introduce to your cousin, our family will count on you." I smiled, just as if he was joking. The whole family is counting on me? I'm not a boss, I'm not a god, I'm not his son, I can't afford such a heavy burden. After three rounds of drinking, after the relatives left, our family of three watched TV in the living room. Suddenly, my dad said solemnly, "Fatty, you can lend some money to your second uncle." Their family is in difficulty, and your second uncle is embarrassed to tell you in person, so he mentioned it to me privately." "Okay, how long to borrow, how to calculate the interest? I glanced at the TV while knocking on the melon seeds, pretending to be light and light. Dad stood up on the ground, so scared that I almost choked on the melon seeds. "What nonsense are you talking about, it's all a family, just borrow some money, and ask for any interest, he's your uncle, you're too indifferent! Seeing my father's tough attitude, I thought to myself: This ** is borrowing money, obviously robbing money. Thinking about it, he didn't get angry, and replied directly, "What's wrong with him being my uncle?" I won't borrow it." Then he walked into the bedroom angrily and slammed the door shut.
Actually, it's not that I don't really want to borrow, but I just hate the lack of sense of proportion among my relatives. It's as if I have a job, I earn money, and it's my obligation to do things for them. If you don't do it, you are unfilial and indifferent. Some people's concept of family affection is to hope that children are free and happy. And some people only care about what their children can bring to themselves. I don't obey this distorted concept. Later, I learned from my mother that my father directly lent 50,000 yuan to my second uncle. The reason is that the cousin wants to buy a wedding house. The second uncle has no education and no skills, but he is arrogant and would rather do a decent job with a monthly salary of 2,000 than earn a hard job with a monthly salary of 10,000 yuan. My cousin was even more confused, he didn't get his college diploma, and he resigned after working for less than 3 months after graduation. Now full-time gnawing the old. Borrowing money is just to quench your thirst, even if you really borrow money to make enough for a down payment, what about the monthly repayment? Do you want to repay it by it? What's more, my cousin is still a master who doesn't know how to make money. I know that my father will borrow, and the eldest brother is like a father, and he has strictly practiced it for half his life. The uncles got married and built a house, which was most of the work done by my father. Although I understand this, I don't want to understand it, and I even feel that my father's responsibility for the second uncle's high school is half of my father's responsibility. After all, people who are helped by others do not understand the difficulties of life at all, let alone take charge of themselves.
