In my memory, Uncle Li Guoqiang is a tall, burly, kind old man. He has no children and no daughters, and he usually loves us nephews and nieces.
That year, the uncle had a sudden stroke and was paralyzed in bed. The eldest aunt died early, and his cousin Li Mingwei worked in the field and had no one to take care of him. After learning the news, I didn't hesitate to take my uncle home.
"Uncle, I will take you home to take care of you, and you can recuperate with peace of mind. I helped my uncle to get into the car, my eyes full of concern.
"Thank you, good boy. The uncle was lying in the back seat, his face pale and his lips trembling.
When I got home, I took good care of my uncle, feeding, scrubbing, and massaging. The uncle's condition gradually improved, but he still had difficulty moving.
"Uncle, don't worry, I will always be with you. I shook my uncle's hand and comforted him softly.
"Good boy, I am content to have you take care of me. Tears welled up in the uncle's eyes.
In the process of getting along day and night, my relationship with my uncle became deeper and deeper. My uncle often told me stories about his youth, and I would tell him about my work and life.
"Uncle, didn't you often go fishing before? When you get better, I'll go with you. ”
"Okay, okay, I'll wait for that day. Uncle smiled happily.
However, just as we were immersed in the warm time, cousin Li Mingwei suddenly returned. When he heard that his uncle was paralyzed, he hurried to visit.
"Dad, what's wrong with you?" asked Li Mingwei with a concerned expression.
"I'm fine, thanks to your uncle for taking care of me. Uncle replied weakly.
Li Mingwei's gaze swept over me, with a hint of doubt in his eyes.
"Uncle, you have to be careful, don't let some people take advantage of it. Li Mingwei said meaningfully.
My heart sank, knowing that Li Mingwei had a lot of complaints about me taking care of my uncle.
Li Mingwei's suspicion made me feel uncomfortable, but for the sake of my uncle, I endured it. I continued to take good care of my uncle, hoping to reassure him with my sincerity.
However, Li Mingwei intensified his efforts and often sneered in front of me.
"Uncle, don't be deceived by some people. They are filial on the surface, but behind the scenes, they may not have what they have in mind. ”
"Mingwei, what nonsense are you talking about?" the uncle rebuked dissatisfied.
"Dad, I'm for your good. If you are not in good health right now, it is inevitable that some people will have crooked thoughts. Li Mingwei did not relent.
I couldn't bear it anymore, and replied: "Li Mingwei, you are enough! Uncle is my own uncle, and I should take care of him, why are you sowing discord here?"
"What are you anxious about?
Seeing that we were arguing, the uncle hurriedly dissuaded: "Okay, okay, don't talk about it." You are all my good nephews, don't hurt the peace. ”
In order not to irritate the uncle, I held back my anger and no longer bothered with Li Mingwei. But his words pierced my heart like a thorn and made me restless.
One day, the uncle suddenly became critically ill. I took him to the hospital overnight, and after resuscitation, my uncle was temporarily out of danger. However, the doctor told me that my uncle's condition was already very serious and could worsen at any time.
I stayed by my uncle's bedside, never leaving. Uncle took my hand and said in a weak voice, "Thank you, good boy. With you to take care of me in this life, I am content. ”
"Uncle, don't talk, take a good rest. I held back tears and squeezed his hand.
Uncle slowly closed his eyes and fell asleep peacefully. Looking at the serene face of the uncle, my heart was full of grief and reluctance.
After the uncle died, Li Mingwei hurried over. When he learned that the uncle had left the deposit of 700,000 yuan to me, his face changed suddenly.
"Dad, why did you give him all the money? I'm your own son!" Li Mingwei asked in a loud voice.
I replied calmly: "How to distribute the uncle's money, that is his freedom." I took care of him, not for the money. ”
"Hmph, who knows if you tricked the uncle into changing the will?" Li Mingwei looked suspicious.
I didn't bother to argue with him, and turned away.
A few days later, the uncle's creditor came to the door. I learned that my uncle had vouched for Li Mingwei before his death and owed a huge debt.
"Li Wei, you must pay back the money your uncle owes!" said the creditor viciously.
I was dumbfounded, my uncle had never mentioned the debt to me before he died. I approached Li Mingwei and asked him to help pay it back, but he refused.
"Uncle's debt has nothing to do with me, why should I pay it back?" Li Mingwei said coldly.
I was disheartened and had to find a way to raise money to pay off my debts. I sold my house and borrowed money from everywhere, but I was still a drop in the bucket.
Seeing the creditors come to the door to force debts, I had no choice but to file for bankruptcy with the court. I was bankrupt and had nothing.
However, I don't regret it. I take care of my uncle, not for money, but out of filial piety. I am willing to bear my uncle's debts, even if I am bankrupt.
After going bankrupt, I was homeless and had to live on the streets. I made a living by picking up garbage every day, and I was hungry and cold.
However, what hurts me the most is that Li Mingwei not only did not lend a hand, but fell into the ground. He spread rumors everywhere that I had cheated my uncle out of his savings and owed a huge amount of debt.
For a while, I became a street rat that everyone shouted at me. My former relatives and friends avoided me like a femme fatale, and even those I had helped sneered at me.
I was so desperate that I thought about dying. But whenever I think of my uncle's instructions to me before he died, I gritted my teeth and persevered.
"Good boy, no matter what difficulties you encounter, you must be strong and live. ”
Uncle's words gave me the courage to live. I swear that I will use my own hands to make a comeback and prove my innocence.
I started selling snacks on the streets, and although I earned a small income, it was enough to make ends meet. I saved money every penny and hoped to pay off my debts as soon as possible.
The hard work paid off, and after a few years of hard work, I finally paid off all my debts. I raised my head again as a man, and although I lived a poor life, my heart was extremely steady.
I thought about settling accounts with Li Mingwei, but in the end I gave up. I don't want to dwell on those grievances anymore, I just want to live my life quietly.
However, fate tricked people. One day, I happened to read a news item in the newspaper that Li Mingwei was sentenced to prison for embezzlement.
When I saw this news, I had mixed feelings in my heart. Instead of gloating, I felt a hint of sadness. Li Mingwei used to be a kind child, but money and lust blinded him, and he ended up harming others and himself.
My life experience has taught me a lot. Filial piety is not taking, but selfless giving. Family affection should not be tainted by money, but should be built on sincere feelings.
I lost a lot, but I also gained a lot. I was recognized by my uncle, won my dignity, and saw the warmth and coldness of people.
Now, I'm out of the gloom and starting my life anew. I opened a small restaurant, and although the business was tepid, it was enough for me to support myself.
Whenever a guest asks me about my past story, I always tell them openly. I hope that my experience can shed some light on others and make them understand the true meaning of filial piety and family affection.
Uncle, you can rest in peace in the heavenly spirit. I have been worthy of your entrustment and my conscience.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, my uncle has been away from me for ten years. In the past ten years, I have experienced the ups and downs of life, and tasted the ups and downs.
Although I lived a poor life, I lived a full and comfortable life. I wake up early every day, go to the market to buy fresh ingredients, and then go back to the restaurant to prepare a variety of delicious dishes.
My restaurant is not big, only a few tables, but it tastes good and the price is fair. Nearby residents and office workers frequented my shop, and business was doing well.
In my spare time, I like to sit in front of the shop and watch all kinds of people while drinking tea. Looking at the joys, sorrows and sorrows on their faces, I seemed to see my own life.
Sometimes, I think of my uncle. Although he is no longer alive, his voice and smile often come to my mind. His kind eyes and his hearty laughter made me feel warm.
I am glad that I took good care of my uncle and that he was well taken care of in the last days of his life. Although he left the deposit to Li Mingwei, I have no regrets. Because in my heart, my uncle's kindness is more important than money.
After Li Mingwei was released from prison, he came to look for me. He apologized to me with a guilty face, saying that he had been blinded by money and had done a lot of wrong things.
I calmly listened to his apology, without blame or forgiveness. I only said lightly: "Let the past pass, I hope you can be a good person in the future." ”
Li Mingwei nodded and turned to leave. I watched his back in the distance, and my heart was full of emotion.
I choose to be a kind and upright person, although ordinary and ordinary, but with a clear conscience. My uncle once taught me: "Be kind, not conscience." "I keep his teachings in mind and strive to be a moral and cultivated person.
Today, I am over half a hundred years old, and although I have many children and grandchildren, I have no children under my knees. I was advised to marry another one, but I politely declined.
Before he died, my uncle said to me, "You are a good boy, and you will be blessed in the future." "I believe in my uncle's words, although my life has been bumpy, I have a clear conscience and have God's blessing.
My life is like an old wine, although it has gone through wind and frost, but the longer it lasts, the more fragrant it is. I have experienced poverty and hardships, but I have never given up my yearning for a better life.
Now, I am enjoying my old age in peace, with filial piety and harmony among my children and grandchildren. Although I am not rich and rich, I am content and happy.
Uncle, you can rest in peace in the heavenly spirit. I have lived up to your expectations and lived up to my life.
