My comrades-in-arms were hospitalized and borrowed money, and I pretended not to see it? The truth of human nature is hidden in the details
"Brother, I might have to come to the city for an operation... ＂
On the other end of the phone, Jiang He's voice was a little hesitant. As a comrade-in-arms for many years, I immediately heard the embarrassment in his words.
has been retired from the army for more than ten years, and Jiang He is still the one who doesn't like to trouble others. But this time, he took the initiative to call me, and he must have encountered a problem.
"Lao Jiang, who is with whom, what are the difficulties! I quickly responded.
Jiang He slowly revealed the truth - he had recently been diagnosed with varicose veins and needed surgery. However, the cost of medical treatment in other places is too high, and he wants to go back to his hometown for treatment, but he is worried that there will be no one to take care of him...
Hearing this, my heart was sour. Jiang He has not had an easy time these years, and it is not easy to save the operation fee with his son alone after the divorce.
"Come here with peace of mind, Lao Liu and I are both in the city, and we will take care of you! I immediately took a stand.
But Jiang He hurriedly stopped me: "Don't tell other comrades-in-arms, I don't want to owe favors anymore... ＂
This sentence made me even more sad. I remember that when Jiang He got married, his comrades-in-arms gave big red envelopes. After so many years, he still remembers this friendship and does not want to trouble everyone anymore.
Hanging up, I was lost in thought. Do you want to tell other comrades? Jiang He's self-esteem is very strong, and I have to respect his ideas. But...
The next day, I went to the station alone to pick up the river. Looking at his slightly haggard face, I had mixed feelings in my heart.
The once high-spirited comrades-in-arms are now down. Fate, why are you so good?
After settling down and being hospitalized, I silently paid 5,000 yuan for the hospitalization. The operation was successful, and Jiang He finally breathed a sigh of relief.
But on the third day, the doctor suddenly informed him that the account balance was insufficient and he needed to pay the fee...
I hid in the hallway, watching Jiang He anxiously call to borrow money. His back looked so lonely and helpless.
At this moment, I wanted to rush up and pat him on the shoulder and say, "Brother, I'll help you!" ＂
But I didn't. I chose to turn away and pretend I didn't see it.
Why? Because I understand Jianghe's self-esteem and respect his choice. Sometimes, true friends are about knowing each other's hearts.
When I got home, I pulled out old photos from that year. The high-spirited river seems to be still in front of us. More than ten years have passed, and we have all changed, but the comradeship is still the same.
I turned on my phone and sent a message to Lao Liu: "Lao Liu, Jiang He is hospitalized, do you have time to take a look?" ＂
Soon, Lao Liu replied: "Okay, I'll go tomorrow!" ＂
I laughed. Although Jiang He does not want to trouble everyone, I believe that sincere friendship will not disappear because of politeness.
The next day, I went to the hospital with Lao Liu. As soon as I entered the ward, I saw Jiang He's surprised eyes.
"You... How did it come? He asked, a little crampedly.
"Come and see my brother! Lao Liu said boldly, "I heard that you secretly came to the hospital and didn't tell your brothers, it's too boring!" ＂
Jiang He lowered his head, his eyes a little moist.
I patted him on the shoulder: "Brother, if you have any difficulties, just say it." We are born and died together, are you still afraid of this? ＂
Jiang He finally raised his head, his eyes full of gratitude: "Thank you... ＂
At this moment, the nurse walked in: "Mr. Jiang, your hospitalization expenses have been settled. ＂
Jiang He looked dazed: "Huh? I haven't... ＂
I quickly interrupted: "It must be the hospital that made a mistake, leave it alone!" ＂
Lao Liu also helped: "That's it, let's chat first!" ＂
Jiang He looked at me, looked at Lao Liu, and stopped talking. In the end, he didn't say anything, just nodded slightly.
At that moment, I saw tears flickering in his eyes. There are some friendships that don't need to be explained; It's a little warm, and it's good to understand it.
When I left the hospital, Lao Liu patted me on the shoulder: "You kid, secretly helped Jiang He settle the hospitalization fee, right?" ＂
I laughed and didn't say anything. Actually, that money was made together by me and Lao Liu. We all understand Jianghe's self-esteem, so we chose this way to help him.
On the way home, I was filled with emotion. Life is always full of hardships, but as long as you are accompanied by sincere friendship, you can get through even the most difficult days.
A true friend who doesn't care what you can give, but what you need.
This experience made me understand that the true meaning of friendship lies not in vigorous confession, but in silent dedication and understanding. Sometimes, pretending not to see is the greatest tenderness.

Epilogue:
On the road of life, we will encounter all kinds of difficulties and setbacks. But as long as you are accompanied by sincere friendship, you will never be alone.
The story of Jianghe tells us that the true meaning of friendship does not lie in vigorous confession, but in silent dedication and understanding. Sometimes, pretending not to see is the greatest tenderness.
Let us cherish every sincere friendship around us, care for it with our hearts, and guard it with love. Because in this world, there is nothing more precious than a close friend.
May you and I be good friends who know how to be considerate and willing to give. Because only in this way can we support each other in the journey of life and move forward together.
Jiang He's surgery was successful and he recovered well. On the day I was discharged from the hospital, I went with Lao Liu to pick him up.
"Brother, don't hold back if you have anything to do in the future! Lao Liu patted Jiang He on the shoulder and said.
Jiang He nodded, tears of gratitude flashing in his eyes: "Thank you... ＂
Looking at the way Jiang He wanted to speak and stopped, my heart was sour. This once strong comrade-in-arms now has a vulnerable side.
"By the way, how is Jiaming doing? I quickly digressed the topic and asked about Jianghe's son.
At the mention of his son, Jiang He's eyes instantly lit up: "Jiaming is in his second year of high school this year, and he studies very well." It is... ＂
He paused and said with some embarrassment: "It's just that the tuition is a bit expensive, and I have to work a few more jobs... ＂
Hearing this, Lao Liu and I glanced at each other and had an idea in our hearts.
The next day, a few of our old comrades-in-arms got together and discussed how to help Jianghe. Everyone said a word, and finally decided to give Jiaming a "scholarship" every month.
"Let's just say that it is the scholarship fund of our comrades-in-arms, Jiang He's stubborn temper will definitely not refuse! The squad leader made up his mind.
In this way, we quietly helped Jiang He father and son. Every time we see Jiaming's report card, we are as happy as if we were our own children.
Time flies, three years have passed. On the day the results of Jiaming's college entrance examination came out, Jiang He called each of us excitedly.
"Brothers, Jiaming has been admitted to a key university! Jiang He's voice was full of pride and gratitude.
We gathered at the old place to celebrate. Looking at the table full of dishes, I suddenly felt a little dazed. It was as if we were back in the army cafeteria, where a few of us young men were eating with laughter and talk.
After three rounds of drinking, Jiang He stood up and raised his glass: "Brothers, thanks to you all these years... ＂
Lao Liu hurriedly interrupted him: "Come on, we are comrades-in-arms, who is with whom!" ＂
I also smiled and agreed: "That's it, I want to say thank you, and we also thank you for cultivating a good student for us!" ＂
Jiang He's eyes were moist, and his voice was a little choked: "I... I know. That bursary fund, in fact, is you... ＂
"Ahem! The squad leader made a look, and I quickly diverted the topic: "Come on, come on, today is a happy day, let's do one!" ＂
Everyone raised their glasses and touched each other, and the wine in the cup was stirred, just like our stirring mood.
During the dinner, I quietly observed the river. The corners of his eyes were wrinkled, but his gaze was more determined than before. I know that the hardships of these years have not crushed him, but have made him stronger.
Life is like a marathon, the important thing is not speed, but whether you can persevere to the end. Jiang He is such a runner who never gives up.
When the banquet was dismissed, Jiang He took my hand: "Brother, thanks to you all these years... ＂
I smiled and patted him on the shoulder: "Don't talk about this, we are comrades-in-arms, all in this life!" ＂
On the way home, my heart warmed. I think of all these years, we have silently helped Jianghe and never made a show. And Jianghe has been working hard to repay our friendship in its own way.
Perhaps, this is the real friendship. You don't need to be vigorous, you just need to understand each other and support each other.
On the road of life, we will encounter all kinds of difficulties. But as long as you are accompanied by sincere friendship, you will never be alone. The story of the river makes me cherish every sincere friendship around me even more.
Because I know that in this world, there is nothing more precious than a close friend.
