In a big family like ours, whenever there is a happy event in the family, there is always a lot of excitement. No, the uncle's marriage to his daughter is undoubtedly the most eye-catching event in the near future.
As an elder, the uncle has been diligent all his life and raised his daughter, and now it means a lot to her to watch her put on her wedding dress. As a junior, I was able to witness such an important moment, and my heart was naturally filled with joy and pride.
I'm Li Qiang, 37 years old, working as an accountant in a company in the city, and my wife is a teacher in a kindergarten. After paying off the monthly mortgage, the two of us are also living quite poorly.
The moment I prepared the red envelope, my feelings were mixed. 2,000 yuan is not a small amount for me, but thinking of my uncle's deep affection for his daughter and his responsibility to the family, I still did not hesitate to take out this money. I hope that this gift will express my blessings and support, and I hope that it will add warmth to my cousin's new life.
On the day of the wedding, everything went according to the customs of the countryside. With a smile on my face, I handed the red envelope containing 2,000 yuan to the person receiving the gift.
However, at the end of the noisy feast, when I looked through the gift book with the blessings of relatives and friends, there was only the number of 1,000 yuan next to my name.
This sudden change made me fall into doubt, and I couldn't help but have a question in my heart: "That 1000 yuan ** went?" ”
The doubts in my mind prompted me to find the answer. I cautiously asked the relatives in charge of receiving the gifts, trying to figure out the truth of the matter.
At first, the relatives seemed a little evasive about this question, and it was not until I insisted on knowing the situation that they revealed the truth - it turned out that the uncle had specially ordered it.
Hearing this, I was stunned. Why did Uncle do this? Did he think I was giving too much? Or did he have other considerations? My heart was full of doubts and incomprehension. After finding Uncle and sitting down with him face to face, I gradually understood his intentions.
Uncle told me in his vicissitudes and warm voice that he saw that I had been working hard for some things in life and work recently, and he didn't want to bring me a financial burden because of his happy event. That's why he instructed the recipient to write down only half of the amount.
Listening to my uncle's words, my nose was sore, and I almost burst into tears. All misunderstandings and doubts disappeared at this moment, replaced by a warm current and emotion.
I held my uncle's hand tightly and thanked him for his understanding and support. I said, "Uncle, I have received your wishes, but this 2,000 yuan is my sincerity, so you can accept it." "After some pushing, Uncle finally agreed to my request. He knows that it's not just about money, it's about the deep affection we have.
After the wedding feast, I walked alone on the way home. The stars in the night sky twinkle like the wishes and blessings of every human heart. I know that what happened today will become the most precious part of my memory.
The story behind this gift not only deepened the emotional bond between me and my family, but also made me experience the power and warmth of family affection.
Time passed like flowing water, and the memory of the wedding feast gradually settled in the bottom of my heart. My uncle's daughter started a new life, and I continued to move forward on my own life trajectory.
But no matter how the future changes, the secret in the 2,000 yuan red envelope that was gently cared for by my uncle will always remind me: in this world, the most precious thing is not money, but the priceless true love between people.
