Today, my daughter got off the shift and bought me some duck wings. She knew that I like to eat this bite, but after putting down the thing, she began to instruct: "Dad, don't drink alcohol! I lost the last time I drank too much, but Aunt Liu from the opposite door sent you back, otherwise why would you? You must have a memory! Don't drink anymore! I won't eat here. I will have to pick up Fanfan in a while, so I will leave first!"
I stood up and sent my daughter out, while saying, "I understand, don't drink, don't drink! There is no alcohol at home!" After hearing what I said, my daughter went out with confidence.
When my daughter went out, I opened the door and confirmed that my daughter had indeed left. Then I hummed a small song and closed the door and took out the wine that had been hidden long ago from the kitchen cabinet.
I sat happily on the sofa, turned on the TV, poured a little wine. After drinking two sips of wine, there was a knock on the door outside. Although I knew I was definitely not my daughter, because she had the key, I still hid the wine again in panic. Then I went to open the door.
As soon as the door opened, it turned out to be the female neighbor opposite the door. I saw her worried face and hurriedly invited her into the house. As I asked, "Liu Lin, what's wrong with you? Your son should get married now, what are you worried about?"
Liu Lin looked at me and asked me first: "Old Wu, are you drinking again? Isn't your girl not letting you drink? ”
I smiled embarrassedly and asked, “Does it smell so much? I just took a few sips! Lao Liu, you have to keep it confidential for me! I just drink one cup now, and I never drink too much, don’t worry! Okay, stop talking about me, tell me what’s wrong with you? ”
As I said, I asked Liu Lin to sit on the sofa, and I sat on the chair next to me.
Liu Lin was asked this and then she said, "Old Wu, I came here today to ask you for help! Can you lend me 100,000 yuan?"
When I heard this, I hurriedly asked, "What are you planning to borrow money? 100,000 is not a small amount! Don't be deceived by others!"
Liu Lin explained after hearing this, "No one lies with me, I I borrowed money to buy a car for my son! I bought this house, but my son wanted to buy a car again, but he didn't like the cheap ones. The day before yesterday, the couple looked forward to the car, 230,000 yuan. I almost finished my old capital when I bought a house. I have to take out the money for the wedding. I have to put together 100,000 yuan now! So, Lao Wu, can you lend me 100,000 yuan first? "
Liu Lin saw that I didn't say anything, so he hurriedly said, "Lao Wu, don't worry , I will sell the house tomorrow, and I will return the money to you as soon as possible! "
I was a little anxious when I heard this and said, "Liu Lin, where do you live after selling the house? No matter how much you spoil your son, you can't ignore yourself!"
Liu Lin explained, "I just rent a house. When my son gets married, it will be a waste for me to live in this two-bedroom and one-living house alone! Lao Wu, please help Help me, no matter what, let me marry my son! He has never felt fatherly love since he was a child, and this is all I owe him! "
I spent several rounds of Liu Lin's words in my mind. I have the money. Liu Lin is also very good at taking care of me. That time I drank too much and injured my arm in the garden. She also helped me see the doctor. Later, I saw that my arm was injured and it was inconvenient to cook. She cooked it for half a month. I have always been grateful for this. I also told myself that if one day Liu Lin needs help, I will do my best!
But today, I don’t plan to help Liu Lin’s busy schedule! Liu Lin is a man who is in the authorities. Her approach is simply a way out.
I looked up at Liu Lin and said straight to the point: "Liu Lin, I can't lend you this money!"
I looked at Liu Lin with a disappointed expression, and then said: "Liu Lin, we are old neighbors, I just told you directly.We are both single-parent families, so I understand your feelings of indebtedness to your children. As parents, we are also willing to contribute to our children, but you can’t ignore yourself! You already have a house. For your son, you paid off your old capital and bought a new house. If you buy such an expensive car, you plan to sell the house. How do you live in the future? And have you considered it? You have spent all your money, and you will still be tired of your children in the future! "
Liu Lin's tears fell when she heard me. I felt very uncomfortable when I looked at it, and then said, "Liu Lin, if you have something else, I will definitely help you, but I will not lend you this 100,000 yuan! "
" Lao Wu, I understand. No matter what, I will thank you, so I will go back first. "Liu Lin said this and got up and walked out. I looked at Liu Lin's thin back and thought it was too difficult for her.
Although I felt that my approach was right, I always felt a little guilty in my heart.
So three days later, when my daughter brought me mangoes, I immediately remembered that Liu Lin liked to eat, so I took it to her.
As a result, the one who opened the door to me was Liu Lin's son Xiaofeng. Usually this child is very enthusiastic about me, but today is different from the past. I think it must be because I didn't borrow money.
I have always had a straight temper and don't like to go around in circles when I speak, so I said, "Xiaofeng, are you not planning to invite me into the house, right? "
Hearing me say this, Xiaofeng leaned against me, saying that he invited me into the house. After entering the house, I put the mango on the table, then patted Xiaofeng on the shoulder, and said, "Xiaofeng, your mother and I have been old neighbors for decades. You are also what I have grown up when I watch. Your mother is not at home today, let's talk! "
I saw that Xiaofeng didn't say anything, and then said, "Your mother asked me to lend money to me, I didn't lend it to her. Today I will tell you. Xiaofeng, it’s not that I don’t help you, but I really can’t stand it. Your mother can’t live without a lifetime in order to buy you a car. Xiaofeng, it’s not easy for your mother to take you alone. I, a neighbor, can see so clearly, and you will definitely not forget the one who is your son. She is now over fifty years old. In order to buy a car for you, she is planning to sell the house and go out to rent a house by herself. Do you know this? "
I looked at Xiaofeng's shocked look, and I knew that Liu Lin must have never mentioned this matter to him. Seeing that Xiaofeng was moved, I continued, "Xiaofeng, you are a single-parent family, but your mother has never owed you. You are also a man now and you are about to get married. Don’t give all the burden to your mother. You have to know that in this world, your mother is the one who treats you the best! "
After I finished speaking, I looked at Xiaofeng and fell into deep thought, so I turned around and walked out. Before closing the door, I told Xiaofeng again: "I remember to let your mother eat mangoes, she is reluctant to buy them. ”
The next day I went downstairs to practice morning. When he saw me, he walked over and said, “Uncle Wu, thank you for what you said to me yesterday, otherwise I would have been confused! I agreed with my partner that my mother had bought me a house, so I won’t buy a car for now. "
I looked at Xiaofeng, smiled with relief, and said, "Xiaofeng, uncle is not wrong with you! ", Xiaofeng touched his head and said, "I thought too little about my mother before, and I will know in the future! Uncle Wu, then I'll leave first! You exercise! "Looking at Xiaofeng who was walking away, the heart he was holding for Liu Lin finally let go.
Later, Liu Lin was busy for Xiaofeng's wedding, but occasionally she met her, she looked like she was smiling.
In a blink of an eye, a month passed. The day before Xiaofeng's wedding, I helped Liu Lin be the general manager of Xiaofeng, running around. When I was not too busy, I quickly gave Xiaofeng the big red envelope prepared in advance. Xiaofeng was about to refuse, but I said, "Xiaofeng, uncle watched you grow up. Now that you are married, I am happy for you. You must hold this red envelope! "While putting the red envelope into his pocket, Xiaofeng said thank you to me, and Liu Lin also gave me a grateful look.
When Xiaofeng's wedding the next day, Liu Lin kept crying, but I knew that it was the tears of happiness as a mother. After the wedding, after the guests were sent, my general manager's task was over. As a mother and mother-in-law, Liu Lin is still busy happily.
That day, just as I was about to cook, I heard the knock on the door, mixed with Liu Lin's voice, so I hurriedly got up and opened the door.
As soon as the door was opened, I saw Liu Lin holding a plate of pie and said, "Old Wu, I finally got idle today, so I specially baked you the pie, eat it quickly!"
"Liu Lin, thank you so much! I love eating the pie you made the most! Please come in quickly, please come in quickly!" I invited Liu Lin in as I spoke.
Liu Lin put the pie on the table. I took some wine and was about to pour it, but Liu Lin stopped me. She said, "Don't drink anymore. If you drink again, I will complain to you! We are not young anymore. You have to know how to keep healthy!"
I heard Liu Lin's words and smiled embarrassedly, then muttered, "That girl cares about me, this Liu Lin cares about me too!"
but Liu Lin's ears were quite sharp, and he was afraid of holding the pancake at me. He pretended to be angry and said, "Old Wu, are you annoying me?"
"No, why am I annoying you? I wish someone cares about me every day. I am also worried. Just wait for dinner all day!" I explained with a smile.
but after hearing this, Liu Lin suddenly stared at me, as if thinking about something, and then suddenly said, "Old Wu, now our children are all married, we are not young anymore, and we have helped each other out of those hard days over the years. Although it seems unrealistic to say that we like at this age, you are really different from others in my heart! If you have me in your heart, let's be a companion in the future!"
I was a little surprised when Liu Lin's sudden confession. My daughter intended to match us before, but I was not sure about Liu Lin's idea at that time, so I didn't let my daughter interfere. In addition, I didn't lend the money to Liu Lin last time, and I felt that we were unsure. I really didn't expect that although I refused to lend money to Liu Lin, she confessed to me.
I looked at Liu Lin and asked, "Does Xiaofeng agree?" Liu Lin nodded and said, "My son said, you are a rare good person!"
After hearing this, I stopped hesitating and said, "Liu Lin, let's go together in the future!" I looked at Liu Lin's eyes with tears of happiness, and my heart was filled with joy. I really didn't expect that at this age, I could still meet happiness unexpectedly. I just felt that I was so lucky!
