The gap between people and people is too big, and my uncle's words make me feel self-conscious.
Because the road was closed by heavy snow, I didn't go to a distant relative's house until the day before yesterday to pay respects to the New Year. This relative, my name is uncle, used to have a good relationship with my father, often came and went, the family is also in the countryside, the family is general. I went with a bottle of wine and a box of gift boxes, which was a good gift for us.
After taking a nearly a hundred miles of the shuttle bus to the side of the road near his house, I walked many more ways with gifts in my hands to reach his house. At this time, I found four or five cars of various kinds parked in front of his house, and probably relatives had come too.
When I called to open the door, my uncle welcomed me in, only to find that his two sons had only returned from out of town after the snow had stopped, each driving a small car, and his two nephews and a son-in-law were also driving to celebrate the New Year. There were seven or eight children in the yard, adults and children, and their beautiful wives were dressed in flowers and flowers, and they were full of joy.
It was not yet time for dinner, everyone sat in the courtyard basking in the sun and chatting, they were all working in the field, began to show off their house, car wages and amateur entertainment, I listened quietly, only envy and sympathy.
Later, I gave each of them a cigarette, and their topic turned to me and began to ridicule me: "Why is the big teacher so stingy, and this cigarette can be taken?" "You've saved a lot of money, haven't you?" When will you lend me tens of thousands of dollars? "It's time to drive a car next year, but who in society still takes the bus now?" "The salary is tens of thousands of dollars a month, but don't cry poor!" ...... I could only agree curtly, and their group attack made me overwhelmed.
After a while, they began to encourage the children to pay for the New Year one by one, saying that this year's New Year's greeting was late and they wanted to give more. They gave each other a hundred dollars to each other's children. I touched my pocket, and there were only ten twenty. I took out one for each of the twenty children, and those children were too few to ask for a hundred, and they made me blush and have a thick neck.
At dinner, there were many people at the table, and we gave our uncles and aunts a toast. The uncle spoke: "You all have a house, a car, money now, and a family, and I am happy." I have two sentences to say to you, one is that you must find ways to make money, if you have money, you are a grandfather, and everyone who has no money looks down on you. Second, my youngest son will get married next year, and each of you will be at least twenty thousand yuan, and not a cent will be less, have you heard? ”
Those nieces and sons-in-law agreed with their mouths, but I felt like I had overturned a five-flavor bottle, not a taste, so I buried my head in the meal and did not dare to answer.
In the afternoon, the sun was tilting in the west, and I stood alone on the side of the road at the mouth of his village waiting for the bus or shuttle bus, and made a decision in my heart: next year I will never worship the New Year again!
