When my adoptive father died, I took out 30,000 yuan to take care of his funeral, and I couldn't kneel down in front of his grave.
My adoptive father's children had always been with me, and after the funeral, they pulled me into the house, and I panicked, but when I came out, I wept bitterly.
on the Internet.
This content is a fictional short story**, if there are similarities, it is purely coincidental.
As the saying goes, the grace of birth is greater than that of man, and the grace of nurturing is greater than that of heaven.
My parents died early, and it was Uncle Zhong who took me into his home and raised me single-handedly.
Now that he's gone, I really have the feeling that the sky is falling.
I leaned against the window of my car in a dejected spirit, looking at the familiar country dirt road. I've been coming and going on this road for more than a decade.
Weaving between dilapidated tiled houses and abandoned farmland, memories of this place kept flashing through my mind.
on the Internet.
I was brought here by Uncle Zhong when I was eight years old, and in that year my parents both passed away, and Uncle Zhong took me to live with him and regarded me as his own.
He was his father's hair younger, and when I was a child, I followed my father's ass and met Uncle Zhong a few times.
Uncle Zhong often talked about him and his father, saying that the two of them ran out of the village and went to the construction site in the city to work hard, and the two brothers helped each other, took root in the city, and started a family.
In my memory, he, like my father, had worked the construction site all year round, his hair was a little gray, and his appearance was different from that of his peers.
on the Internet.
According to Uncle Zhong, my parents died in a construction site accident, and when they were taken to the hospital, they lost too much blood and could not be rescued.
That day, he was at a loss for what to do, running around, thinking of me who was still at home.
On that day, I didn't wait for my parents to come home, but Uncle Zhong took me by the hand and took me to his house.
At that time, my aunt and Uncle Zhong had a big fight, and I cried next to me.
Uncle Zhong has a soft temperament, and my appearance often makes him feel embarrassed.
Why did you bring him back? Didn't you say that it was good to send it to the village? The aunt stopped the door and asked puzzled.
Isn't it a waste of the child to send him back? To be like his uncle of the same clan, to be a farmer for the rest of his life? How can this be worthy of Lao Zhu? "When I said my father's name, Uncle Zhong held my hand tightly with tears in his eyes.
When the aunt heard this, she stomped her feet in a hurry, stretched out her finger and pointed to the children in the house, and said, "There are already two in the house, Li Zhong!" How do you say to raise! You said. ”
When Uncle Zhong heard this, he lowered his head and said, "Lao Zhu is gone, leave a sum of money, and use that money to raise him." ”
That money is the compensation for the construction site.
Finally, Uncle Zhong and I entered the house.
on the Internet.
However, no matter how many years have passed, I still remember this passage vividly.
It is precisely because of these words that I can't hold my head up at Uncle Zhong's house, and I am cautious everywhere.
Although Uncle Zhong was very kind to me, I didn't feel the warmth of home here.
At Uncle Zhong's house, I didn't dare to speak, and I didn't dare to walk around.
I don't even dare to eat too much, I will eat a bowl when my aunt holds a bowl, and I am afraid that my aunt will be disgusted if I eat too much.
So, my body has always been relatively thin.
After all, my aunt always quarreled with Uncle Zhong because of money, and every time she said that my father had left me so much, and if I wanted to eat, I would have to work hard to earn it.
Uncle Zhong questioned his aunt:
Look at what you said, Lao Zhu and I are earning hard-earned money. You are not willing to work with Jia'an and Jiaxin, so you are willing to do it with Xiaowen? ”
The aunt glared at Uncle Zhong and said, "He Zhu Xiaowen is Zhu Xiaowen, and our Jia'an and Jiaxin are different from him." ”
What are you talking about? Lao Zhu is my brother, and his children are also my children. "Uncle Zhong protects me.
The aunt glanced at Uncle Zhong and said:
"You good brother, you didn't leave you gold, nor did you leave you silver, so you left this mess. ”
on the Internet.
Yes, every time I quarrel with my aunt, Uncle Zhong loses, and it is accompanied by my loser situation.
Uncle Zhong also has two children at home, a boy and a girl. The boy's name is Jia An, and the girl's name is Jia Xin.
They are all younger than me, and I don't feel like a big brother in Uncle Zhong's family, but I am inferior everywhere.
My aunt didn't give me a good face, and Jia An Jiaxin's two children didn't give me a good face either, and they often bullied me behind my back.
After all, in their eyes, I was a stranger who broke into their lives. I took away the love that Uncle Zhong gave them, and also took away the money from their family.
Therefore, my aunt can deduct my expenses in the place where she lives.
When Jia'an and Jiaxin wore new clothes, I wore school uniforms every day, which also made me have low self-esteem and didn't like to go out, but I also developed the habit of reading at home.
This kind of life did not improve until after high school.
on the Internet.
Originally, my aunt was strongly opposed to me going to high school, but later the junior high school teacher gave Uncle Zhong a **, saying that my grades were good and I could go to a key high school, and my aunt changed her mind under the pressure of the teacher.
My high school was a boarding school, while Jia An and Jia Xin went to a day school, and I only went back during the holidays, and they could go home every day after school.
I, the alien invader, have finally left their life for a short time.
Compared to Uncle Zhong's house, the food in the high school cafeteria is a feast for me, at least the amount is full, and I don't have to suffer from starvation anymore.
Moreover, Uncle Zhong will always secretly fund my living expenses. So in high school, I grew up very fast.
Also growing up fast is my grades and grade ranking.
Because I like to read, I can study calmly, and my learning efficiency is naturally higher than others.
In addition, the school is a key high school, and the learning atmosphere is good, so I board at the school and have more study time.
So, unsurprisingly, I got past the undergraduate cut-off and was able to go on to some good universities.
on the Internet.
And Jia'an and Jiaxin, who took the exam in the same year as me, did not perform well, and could only barely be admitted to a junior college.
But even though I got good grades, my aunt still objected to me going to college because my family couldn't afford the tuition for my three children.
This time, I chose to stand up on my own, and I didn't want to embarrass Uncle Zhong anymore. Uncle Zhong has been caught between me and my aunt, and he has been embarrassed for more than ten years.
So, Uncle Zhong and I went to the construction site during the summer vacation, and I started as a small worker to earn enough money to go to college.
When I got off the construction site on the first day, Uncle Zhong looked at me wearing a hard hat and laughed, saying that I looked exactly the same as my father back then.
After speaking, he patted me on the shoulder and said proudly, Lao Zhu knows that you have been admitted to a prestigious university, and he will definitely be happy for you.
I hope that the parents in the heavenly spirit can also see the proud scenes of their children's lives.
on the Internet.
When I reported to the university, Uncle Zhong sent me to school first, and then sent Jia An and Jiaxin to school the next day.
That day, Uncle Zhong stepped into the gate of the university and looked at the banner welcoming the new students on the campus, he was happy like a child, and his mouth kept saying:
It would be great if Lao Zhu could see this scene. With that, tears welled up in the corners of his eyes.
yes, if only my parents could see that.
Actually, I often miss my parents, but I also slowly got used to the days when Uncle Zhong was around.
When I first arrived at Uncle Zhong's house, I cried to Uncle Zhong and said, I want to go home.
Uncle Zhong touched my head and said this is your home.
It wasn't until I was in junior high school that I told Uncle Zhong that I wanted to meet my parents.
I remember that it was the first time that Uncle Zhong was angry with me and asked me not to say these stupid things, and hugged me tightly after saying that.
That was the first time I felt at home in Uncle Zhong.
on the Internet.
After graduating, I went to work in a private company, and with the fame of my alma mater and the support of my senior brothers in the company, I mixed well and slowly gained a firm foothold in the city.
Similarly, I slowly faded out of the life of Uncle Zhong's family, and just sent some money back to him regularly.
My aunt often scolded me for being a white-eyed wolf behind my back, raised me to be admitted to college, and flew when my wings were stiff.
Jia'an is also a homeless person, and Jiaxin got married after graduating from university.
Uncle Zhong sometimes comes to ask me to go back, and I always shirk everything, only during the Chinese New Year, I will go back to visit Uncle Zhong.
Uncle Zhong is getting older and faster every year, after all, working the construction site is a chore, and he uses his strength when he was young to exchange money.
Now he has gray hair, and because he often deals with cement and gravel, he has contracted lung disease.
He saw that the three children had settled safely, so he and his aunt returned to their hometown to recuperate.
on the Internet.
So, in the past ten years, I have been in the wind and rain, and I have run to the village when I have time.
He often asked me to go out for walks with him, introduced me to my uncles and brothers of the same clan, and took me to the graves of my father and mother to talk to them.
Every time Uncle Zhong opened his mouth, he said:
Lao Zhu, now that Xiaowen has a successful career, I finally haven't been sorry for you. ”
I looked at Uncle Zhong and thanked him for raising me for so many years, without him, I would not be where I am today.
Now, I look at Uncle Zhong's tomb, and I always remember how good he was to me.
At his request, we buried him with his father and mother, he said that our two families have a deep relationship and are inseparable, and he went down to find Lao Zhu to reminisce about the past.
The dead are bigger than the sky, and everyone didn't dare to object.
I knelt in front of my biological and adoptive father's graves, with my hands on the ground, crying like a tearful man.
After all, I don't have any relatives in this world anymore.
on the Internet.
Later, Jia An and Jia Xin went to Uncle Zhong's house to pack up their belongings and prepare to go back.
And I walked around my family's old house.
When I returned to Uncle Zhong's house, Jia An and Jia Xin pulled me into the house.
I was caught off guard and took a few steps back, wary of them.
After all, after Uncle Zhong left, there was no need to take into account the affection of this nominal brother between us.
They're probably going to tear their faces apart with me.
They opened their mouths and said, "Brother Xiaowen, you can take back the 30,000 yuan." ”
I just experienced the change of Uncle Zhong's death, and now I listen to Jiaxin's voice, as if in a dream, this girl actually calls me brother?
Jia An saw that I was stunned, and also said:
You can get the money back. ”
I thought they were going to break up with me, but I didn't expect the tone to be so calm, as if we used to be good brothers and sisters.
on the Internet.
Jiaxin shed tears and said: "When we were children, we were wrong, and my brother and I always felt that you robbed our father of our love, so we always hated you." ”
I waved my hand, and the tears unconsciously remained, and said:
Keep the money, and let the past pass. ”
With that, I turned to leave.
Jia An stopped me from behind and said, "Brother Xiaowen, I'm sorry. ”
By then, I was already weeping bitterly.
Before Uncle Zhong died, he told me to take good care of my family, and he couldn't rest assured.
Back then, he brought me to his house because of his brotherhood for my father.
Now, I also have to take care of Uncle Zhong's nurturing kindness to me and take good care of my brothers and sisters.
Then I turned around and said to them, "Family, don't talk about money, it's too angry." ”
At that moment, I finally reconciled with the misfortunes of my childhood.
The three of us hugged and cried together, and promised Uncle Zhong that our three brothers and sisters must live well together.
