Volume III, Chapter 21: Human Affection

I attach great importance to family affection and filial piety, I love my family, and I love my relatives even more. Because I grew up with the care and love of my loved ones.

The past is vivid, and whenever I think of it, I feel warm and cordial in my heart. Those heartwarming images often come to my mind.

When I was a child, I often lived at my grandmother's house, and I was loved by my grandparents, uncles, and aunts. In that era of material scarcity, I was still very happy and lucky. Not only can you eat a full meal, but also zero rice candy, fruit candy, and stove candy are often eaten. These candies were bought for me by fellow relatives with the money they had saved from frugality.

When I think of this, I often have a picture in my mind: in the middle of winter, as soon as I open my eyes, I cry: "Grandma and grandma will bring me something delicious." "My grandmother always brought me fragrant, hot roasted sweet potatoes. I also love to eat, and I always eat one in one sitting. In winter, I slept in the warm quilt and didn't want to get up, so my grandmother always took my cotton jacket and cotton pants to the stove to roast it, and hurriedly wrapped me in the hot air and hugged me on the kang to coax me to get dressed.

My aunt always led me to play, and I always let me eat and drink and have fun (my aunt was only five or six years older than me and I wanted to go home, and my uncle always let me ride on his neck and walk me home on the shelf. (My house and my grandmother's house are two villages in a row, very close).

When I was in primary school, my parents took me home and sent me to our village school. I always follow my aunt, my aunt is only one year older than me, she is the daughter of my sixth master, and the sixth master is my brother. The brothers had a good relationship and did not separate for many years. A large family of more than a dozen people lived in my old house (built by my father and my sixth brother in 1945) and ate in a pot. But there was never a conflict, my father, uncles, and aunts lived in harmony, and my mother-in-law and my sixth mother-in-law were like sisters, and I heard my father say that when I was three years old, my family moved from the old house to the new house of my parents. Then my sixth grandfather and six mothers-in-law led their children to move out of the old house. There was only one family between their new house and mine.

In my childhood memories, I always like to stay in my sixth mother-in-law's house, often play with my aunt, and often eat and sleep at my sixth mother-in-law's house.

My sixth wife is simple and kind, and she is very real. It's the same for me as much as my aunt.

My aunt was my best playmate when I was young, and although she was only a year older than me, she really routinely performed my aunt's duties and protected me everywhere.

I remember when I was in junior high school, we carried steamed buns once every three days, and often I didn't have anything to eat before the day I went home to carry the buns. My aunt often gave me her buns to eat. (My aunt lived at her aunt's house on the street at that time, and sometimes ate at her aunt's house).

Also, when my third aunt was in high school, she always liked to lead me to school and to her classmates, and I still remember picking walnuts at her classmates.

When I was in high school, my third aunt came to see me at school and gave me fifty yuan.

When I was in school in Weinan, I often went to my third aunt's house and my uncle and concubine who owned a clothing store in Xiyue Mall on weekends to eat.

They were all very good to me, my uncle was my grandmother's only brother, and when I was a child, I used to follow my grandmother to my uncle's house, and my uncle often came to my grandmother's house. His brother and sister have a very good relationship, my uncle and concubine have no children in their lives, and they treat my mother's sisters like their own children.

I heard my mother say that my uncle and concubine once raised my fourth aunt for a while, but my fourth aunt always cried and didn't want to stay there. My grandmother went to see my fourth aunt, and the fourth aunt cried and followed my grandmother back.

Later, my uncle and concubine adopted a son and a daughter from someone else's family. The son was taken away at birth, and the daughter was nine years old when she came.

The old uncle and the old concubine are kind and kind-eyed, and they are very kind and kind. In my memory, my uncle and concubine were kind to everyone, they gave me delicious food as soon as they saw me, always teased me, and praised me for being smart. I also like my uncle and sister-in-law, and I love to talk to them. I always find their words very appealing.

Later, I heard from my mother that my uncle and concubine used to work in Lanzhou. My uncle works in a large pharmacy in Lanzhou, and the old concubine is an employee of a spinning factory in Lanzhou. But my uncle is very filial, in order to take care of his mother. So I went back to my home on the edge of Weinan City with my old concubine. After I came back, I took care of the elderly, helped my grandmother and grandmother for many days, and heard my mother say that my uncle often rode a bicycle with food from Weinan to my grandmother's house in Pucheng. My mother, my aunt, and my uncle are very grateful to their uncles and sisters-in-law. This is a strong family affection. I am also very touched and grateful, my uncle and concubine are very kind to me, every time I go, they are very enthusiastic, always greet me, and care about me.

I felt the same in front of them as I was in front of my grandmother, very kind. They run a clothing store and often give me clothes, but I refuse, I don't like to dress up, and I think it's not easy for two old people to open a shop.

Later, my parents said to me, "Take whatever you want to wear from your uncle, and we'll give them the money." "I later learned that my mother always gave money to my uncle and concubine every time she went to see them. This is not only the money for clothes, but also the return of my uncle and concubine for taking care of my grandmother's family for many years.

When my uncle was sick and hospitalized, my mother and sisters stayed at their uncle's bedside and took turns to serve him. I'm also very moved, the beloved family affection in the world! How can I forget that when I was in high school, I lived in the house of my fifth uncle, who worked in the town's ** enterprise, and whenever the town cooked a different meal or distributed fruits, the fifth uncle kept it for me. I keep all these in my heart, and I am very warm and touched. What a blessing!

The world is something that people can appreciate, and appreciation is an innate ability in life. Appreciation is a kind of enjoyment, but also a kind of support, a kind of praise, but also a kind of encouragement, a kind of affirmation, but also a kind of encouragement.

My village fat sister-in-law is a down-to-earth and capable farmer. She not only did a good job among her neighbors, but also seized the opportunity of reform and opening up, and in the early 90s of the last century, she had become a remarkable 10,000-yuan household. But she is a person who came from a difficult era, she is not particular about dressing, how to dress at home, how to dress when she goes out, she thinks that as long as she dresses neatly and does not show her body.

But once I went to the county seat to do errands, I encountered a heartwarming incident in the hotel. That day, she walked into a restaurant and said to the waiter, 'Have a bowl of dumplings'. At that time, the waiter was chatting with an acquaintance, and I don't know if the waiter didn't hear her or the waiter didn't look at her, so they ignored her at all.

"Waiter, let's have a bowl of dumplings", she raised her voice a little, this time the waiter must have heard, glanced at her, and still ignored it.
