The stingy brother

One day at noon, my brother and I had a quarrel. The more the quarrel became, the louder and louder the argument became, and the anger became more and more intense. In the end, my brother turned livid with anger and threw his job on the table. On the ground, not to be outdone, I kicked the stool away and stormed out the door.

I walked around on the road, looking at the scorching sun at noon and the bustling crowds, and felt extremely angry.

This kind of quarrel has happened many times. The reason is nothing more than that I bought something on a whim that I liked but didn’t need to play with. My brother accused me of spending money randomly. As we talked, the two of us started talking. There was a quarrel.

In fact, we had a very good relationship before.

I remember when I was young, my brother always gave me delicious food and fun toys. Whenever someone bullied me, my brother was always my protective umbrella.

We often play hide-and-seek together, wander around together, have snowball fights together, and often play in the dark.

At that time, my brother was always very generous and loved me as a younger brother. Whenever I wanted to buy something I liked, my brother would always secretly give me the money he had saved so hard, and then Bragging proudly: "Brother is not short of money."

When we are tired from playing, we always lean on each other and talk happily. At this time, I always talk to my brother about my ideals. I like music and want a piano of my own. I ask my brother, what is his ideal? My brother always smiled and said nothing, saying that I would know later.

However, when my brother was in high school, his parents died in a car accident, and the family had difficulty making ends meet. My brother dropped out of school first and worked as a laborer on a construction site.

My brother said that although small jobs are hard, they make a lot of money, and as long as they work hard and are smart, they are likely to become big workers and make more money.

Because I saw my brother working too hard and felt sorry for him, I also wanted to drop out of school. My brother firmly disagreed and said he would provide me with food, clothing, and schooling.

But once I got stubborn, even nine oxen could not stop me, so I quickly dropped out of school and worked as a security guard in a supermarket.

My brother is hard-working and smart. He was promoted to a senior worker in half a year and can earn more money. I admire him very much.

But slowly, I found that my brother had changed. He had become stingy, stingy, and even unkind.

My brother strictly controls the diet at home. He only eats steamed buns and pickles in the morning, noodles and cabbage at noon, and steamed buns and pickles in the evening.

Although I protested many times, my brother always said: "What you save is what you earn, and money can make all the difference."

My brother stipulated that every month I I had to pay him 1,500 yuan, which made me very dissatisfied. Why did he ask me to pay him when he made so much money?

But my brother said: "You can only marry a wife if you have money. I don't want to be a bachelor."

My brother also forced me to set up a stall, and I was chased by the city guards many times. I almost went crazy, so we often had arguments.

My brother plausibly said, "You have to work hard to make money, and only with money can you realize your ideals."

My brother has a small locked box, which he treats as a treasure and never lets me touch it. Although I was very curious, I never dared to open the box.

My birthday is coming soon, and I am wondering whether to have a dumpling meal with my brother or go to a small restaurant.

Suddenly, my neighbor called me and told me that my brother was hit by a car and was lying in the hospital with no idea of ??his life or death.

I rushed to the hospital and saw my brother in the ward covered with bandages and IV tubes. His eyes were closed and he was motionless.

The doctor told me that my brother’s condition was very bad and his life was in danger at any time.

I looked at my brother blankly, thinking that he was fine yesterday, why couldn’t he move today?

On my birthday, my brother finally passed away. A pure white piano was delivered to me by courier. There was also a note on the piano, which read: "This is a gift from my brother to you." A birthday gift, I hope my brother likes it."

My head is a little confused. Is this what happened?

Suddenly, I remembered the box that my brother regarded as a treasure. I used a hammer to break the lock and open the box.

In the box there are marbles, building blocks, water guns, toys from our childhood, and a beautiful notebook.

I carefully picked up the notebook and flipped through it slowly. The content is as follows:

Seeing my misfortune, my younger brother insisted on dropping out of school. I couldn’t stop him, so I had to find other ways to make money and buy him a piano. , to realize his brother’s ideal.

I continued to read and turned to the back.

I finally saved enough money to buy a piano. My brother’s birthday is coming soon, so I can give it to him as a birthday gift to realize his dream.

I continued to read and reached the last page.

A long time ago, my brother asked me what my ideal is? I didn't say it, but I wanted to tell my brother: "My brother's ideal is that my brother's ideal can be realized."

Seeing this, I burst into tears and burst into tears.

My brother said: "What you save is what you earn. Money can make all the difference."

My brother said: "You can only marry a wife if you have money. I don't want to be a bachelor. "

My brother said: "You have to work hard to make money, and only when you have money can you realize your ideals."

My ideals have come true, and my brother's ideals have also come true. I think my brother's spirit in heaven can be at ease." .
