On Friday evening, Liu Lin, a financial analyst, wearily pushed open the door of her home and kicked her high heels aside. "Husband, I'm back." She shouted, a hint of exhaustion in her voice.
Wang Xu poked his head out of the kitchen and said with a smile, "Welcome home, dear." How is work today? "
Liu Lin sighed and collapsed on the sofa: "It's still the same, I'm so busy that my feet don't touch the ground." But fortunately, at the end of the month, I can get a good bonus again. "
At this moment, Liu Lin's mobile phone suddenly rang. She glanced at the caller ID and frowned slightly: "It's my brother." "
"Hey, brother." Liu Lin picked up the phone, with a hint of doubt in her voice.
Wang Jie's excited voice came from the other end of the phone: "Sister, I have good news for you!" Yangyang has been admitted to a key university, we are going to hold a college banquet next Saturday, you and your brother-in-law must come! "
Liu Linqiang squeezed out a smile: "Really? Great, congratulations Yangyang! We'll definitely go. "
Wang Jie's voice suddenly lowered: "By the way, sister, you are now working in a financial company with an annual salary of 300,000 yuan." Can you get some more blood this time? You know, let there be light on the sunny side. "
Liu Lin's expression froze instantly, and he was silent for a moment before he said, "Okay, brother." I know. "
After hanging up the phone, Liu Lin's thoughts involuntarily drifted back to the past. She remembered that in the year of her college entrance examination, her family was so poor that she couldn't even afford a decent dress. At that time, Wang Jie had just joined the work, and he had no extra money to help his sister. Now, Wang Jie's family situation has improved, but he still wants her to contribute more money. This contrast made Liu Lin have mixed feelings.
"What's wrong?" Wang Xu noticed the change in his wife's mood and asked with concern.
Liu Lin briefly explained the content of the call, and then asked, "How much do you think we should give?" "
Wang Xu thought for a while and said, "According to our income level, we should give at least 1,000 yuan." After all, it's your nephew's big event. "
Liu Lin hesitated, she whispered, "I'm thinking, or we will give 200 yuan." "
"200 yuan?" Wang Xu looked at his wife in surprise, "Isn't it too little?" "
Liu Lin said firmly: "No, I think it's just right." Moreover, I plan to wear an old dress to the banquet. "
Wang Xu was even more confused: "Why? Don't you have a lot of beautiful new clothes? "
Liu Lin just said lightly: "I have my reasons. After speaking, she got up and walked to the bedroom, leaving Wang Xu with a puzzled face.
On the day of the banquet, Liu Lin stood in front of the wardrobe, her eyes falling on an old dress in the corner. It was the first "luxury" she bought when she first started working, and although the style was outdated, it was well preserved. She carefully took out her clothes, stroking the slightly rough fabric, as if she had returned to the years of hard work.
"Are you really going to wear this?" Wang Xu asked at the door, with worry in his tone.
Liu Lin nodded firmly and began to change clothes. When she put on this old dress, she seemed to be ten years younger in the mirror, full of vigor and vigor. She took a deep breath, turned to her husband and said, "Let's go, it's time for us to go." "
The moment Liu Lin and Wang Xu stepped into the banquet hall, it was as if time had stood still. The originally noisy venue suddenly fell silent, and everyone's eyes were focused on the couple. Liu Lin was wearing the clothes that had become a little worn, which was in stark contrast to the guests dressed up around her.
"Isn't this working in a financial company? How do you dress like this? A shrill voice broke the silence, triggering a burst of whispering.
Liu Lin pretended not to hear, straightened her waist, and took Wang Xu's hand and walked towards Wang Jie and Wang Yang. Wang Xu could feel the sweat on his wife's palm, and gently pinched it to show comfort.
When Wang Jie saw his sister's outfit, a trace of embarrassment flashed on his face. He barely squeezed out a smile and said, "Sister, you're here." I haven't seen you for so long, why are you still wearing such old clothes? "
Liu Lin replied calmly: "Brother, I like this dress very much, and it is comfortable to wear." She turned to Wang Yang and said with a smile, "Nephew, congratulations on your admission to a key university." Aunt is proud of you. "
Wang Yang smiled reluctantly, but there was a hint of loss in his eyes. He thought that his aunt would dress up and give himself a long face.
Halfway through the banquet, Liu Lin took the initiative to stand up and said that she would give Wang Yang New Year's money. Under the gaze of everyone, she took out the prepared red envelope and said with a smile: "Nephew, this is a little heart from my aunt, I wish you success in your studies." "
Wang Yang took the red envelope and felt that the weight was very light. He smiled reluctantly and said, "Thank you, auntie." The relatives around him exchanged heads and talked a lot.
At this time, Wang Jie's wife Li Fang couldn't help it, she pulled Liu Lin to the side, lowered her voice and said, "Lin, you have an annual salary of 300,000 yuan now, why do you give 200 yuan?" How ugly this is! "
Liu Lin's face did not change, and she replied softly: "Sister-in-law, it doesn't matter how much money you have, what matters is your heart." Besides, Wang Xu and I are still saving money to buy a house. "
Li Fang was speechless for a while, but after the relatives around heard it, the discussion became louder. Some people say that Liu Lin is stingy, and some people say that she is showing off. The scene was a little chaotic for a while.
Wang Jie saw that the situation was not right, and hurriedly found Wang Xu. He pulled Wang Xu aside and whispered, "Brother-in-law, you have to persuade Lin." She did this, making our family lose face. "
Wang Xu said embarrassedly: "Uncle, Lin has her own ideas, and I am not very easy to interfere." "
After Wang Jie heard this, his face became gloomy: "You rich people just don't understand the world!" My sister married you, did she climb your family? "
When Wang Xu heard this, he was also angry: "Uncle, what do you mean by this?" Lynn has always been the most important person in my heart, and I respect her every decision. "
The voices of the two grew louder and louder, attracting the attention of the other guests. Seeing that the scene was about to get out of control, Liu Lin walked over quickly.
Liu Lin walked quickly between Wang Xu and Wang Jie and gently grabbed her husband's arm. She took a deep breath, looked around, looked at the talking relatives, and said calmly, "Everyone, please listen to me. "
The banquet hall suddenly fell silent, and everyone's eyes were focused on Liu Lin. She stood up straight, her eyes firm, and she spoke slowly: "I am wearing this old dress today because it has witnessed my years of struggle. Ten years ago, I had just graduated and my monthly salary was just over 2,000. "
Liu Lin's voice was a little choked, but she quickly adjusted: "At that time, I was frugal every day, just to be able to buy this dress that I thought was very expensive at the time. It's not just a piece of clothing, it's a testament to my hard work. "
She turned to Wang Yang, and her eyes softened: "Nephew, my aunt gave you 200 yuan, not because of stinginess." These 200 yuan were my living expenses for a week that year. I hope you can be like your aunt back then, self-reliant and work hard. The value of life is not how much you get, but how you struggle. "
After listening to his aunt's words, Wang Yang's eyes flashed with tears. He stepped forward and hugged Liu Lin tightly: "Auntie, I'm sorry, I misunderstood you." Thank you for your teaching, I will definitely work hard. "
Wang Jie and Li Fang looked at each other, their faces full of guilt. Wang Jie took a step forward and said in a sincere tone: "Sister, it's my brother who blames you." Your intentions are good, and we all understand it wrong. "
Li Fang also said with red eyes: "Lin, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said that about you." You see the long term longer than we do. "
Liu Lin smiled and shook her head: "Brother, sister-in-law, it's okay." We are a family, and it would be good to talk about any misunderstandings. "
The atmosphere of the banquet gradually became warmer. Relatives no longer talked about Liu Lin's clothes and gifts, but began to exchange their own struggles. Wang Yang listened carefully to these stories, his eyes full of longing for the future.
As night fell, Liu Lin and Wang Xu set out on their way home. The two walked side by side, silent. In the end, Wang Xu broke the silence: "Lin, I'm sorry, I didn't understand you before. What you did today makes me feel very proud. "
Liu Lin smiled and held her husband's hand and whispered, "Thank you for your support." I just hope that Yang Yang can understand that money is not the only measure of a person's worth. True wealth is our experience and growth. "
Wang Xu nodded: "You're right. Although we have a good income now, we must not forget the original intention of struggle. "
Liu Lin leaned on her husband's shoulder, and a warm current surged in her heart. She knows that this experience not only resolved family conflicts, but also gave everyone a new understanding of money and family affection. What's more, she saw the desire for the future in her nephew's eyes, a gift more precious than any gift.
Under the moonlight, the figure of the couple gradually disappeared at the end of the street, leaving behind a vision of the future and cherishing family affection.
