From childhood to adulthood, my father's hard work has created a relatively stable living condition for our family. This stability means we are not hungry or exposed. However, we have never felt what it feels like to be rich. I am full of admiration and gratitude for my father's efforts. I know very well that my father is making money with his blood and sweat for his family.

I will never forget my father pierced his foot with a nail in order to make money, but he still endured the pain and was busy with housework. I will never forget the scene in the eyes of others when my father was injured in one leg and rode his bicycle to and from get off work on the other. I will never forget the haggardness of his father after his head injury that year...

The second year after work, the welfare housing in the unit was released. Many colleagues bought houses with the help of their family. Compared with the market price, the house in the unit was much cheaper, which was an opportunity to buy a house. But I was afraid to think about this problem for a long time. I knew that the family had no money. If I decided to buy a house, I still had to let my father figure out a way for me. I just started working and didn’t have much savings.

During that period, I was always in conflict and conflict. I really didn't want to add any extra burden to my family, but if I missed this opportunity, the pressure of buying a house would be greater. One day, I plucked up the courage to call my father. My father seemed very tired, and I told him about the house in the unit. He hesitated for a while and told me not to buy it first and wait until the conditions were slightly better later.

I understood what my father meant. He was already very tired and could no longer bear the pressure of foreign debt. After that call, I decided not to buy it. Save some money for the time being and talk about it later.

After a while, the company's house was about to be sold out. I thought about it and if I didn't seize this opportunity, the benefits would be out of my way. I called my father again, and I settled the accounts for my father on the phone so that my father could help me borrow some money, pay for me, and book the house.

My father agreed. In order to pay, he tried every means to raise enough 100,000 from his relatives and deliver it to me.

When you get the money and want to be delivered, the pain in your heart is self-evident. It feels like you stab yourself twice with a knife, but you can't scream the pain.

When I was getting the key, I was still about 10,000 yuan. I didn’t dare to speak to my father anymore. I quietly borrowed five thousand yuan from my aunt in my name. After getting the key, it would cost a lot of money to move into the new house.

In order to save money, my father and I discussed it and prepared to let my father build my house by himself. My father has been working in the engineering team, but he is not good at decorating work, and this time he is also an attempt to work for me.

On the biting winter, my father stayed in my rough house and worked day and night for me. At that time, my father was probably the only garrison in the community. After half a month of hard work, while I was riding an electric bike back and forth to deliver food, the house basically met the conditions for entering.

On the day of completion, I bought a bunch of firecrackers. When it was almost dawn, the firecrackers lit them. The explosion of firecrackers broke the quiet community. My father happily looked at the fruits of his labor, and my face was filled with a smile. I was thinking that this will be my new home in the future. Compared to the house that cost a lot of money to decorate, my house is not worth mentioning, and even a little shabby. But I was satisfied! This is my ability, and what I am doing is within my ability.

Several years have passed, and I have bought some furniture and daily necessities in my house. Every thing is not up to standard, and every purchase is for the least money to buy the most affordable thing. After a few years, the house is basically full. When I got married, my wife said that the house was shabby and why should I find a way to spend some money to decorate it.

There are always many reasons for poor people. I said to my wife: "I feel too depressed to decorate the house and feel uncomfortable everywhere. How good is our house now? It's wide and bright inside. When we have money, we will definitely decorate it again!"

Seeing that my mind was firm, my wife complained and said to me: "Do you know why I dare not let my colleagues come to our house?"

Actually, I already knew her answer in my heart, and I deliberately asked, "What's the reason?"

"Our family looks so poor! Sorry to let others come!"

I feel really uncomfortable. Don’t you want to give my wife a gorgeous new house? Don’t you want to live in an exquisite house? However, with my current ability, I only fit in such a house, which I feel very luxurious. In my heart, I am still worried that my younger brother is still renting someone else’s house, and he doesn’t even have a house like me. In this case, how can I bear to worry about my family again!

Although I failed to satisfy my wife's wish, I just wanted to be at ease. I didn't want to be in a dream, but I was a panic of being collected from debts.

After moving into the house, everything inside was purchased one by one, and I was no longer embarrassed to let my father figure out a way for me. Looking at the things I bought by myself, I felt a sense of accomplishment.

When I got married, there was another big fee. I had not paid off the money I bought for me before, and my brother borrowed another loan from my marriage. The pressure on my father can be imagined. In order not to make my father's burden too heavy, I borrowed another loan in my personal name when I got married, and my father's mood suddenly became relaxed.

Combined with mortgage loans and credit loans, most of the monthly salary is occupied by loans, leaving only a little living expenses. However, this is the peace of mind and peace of mind that has never been seen before.

A friend asked me: "You buy a car! How cheaper the car is now!"

I smiled bitterly and replied, "I can't drive the car! The pressure is too great!"

If conditions permit, I like driving very much. In order to realize such a dream, I learned my driver's license a few years ago. I don't know how long it will take to drive my own car. I believe that as long as I take every step steadily, everything will come true!

There are also some peers I know who once showed off his solid assets in front of me. I clearly feel the sense of superiority and abundance that he expresses in every sentence. I listened carefully and kept smiling. When he finished speaking, I would nod sincerely and say to him: "I really envy you! You are so rich! Compared to you, I have not yet escaped poverty."

I never make fun of others for their difficulties. On the contrary, when facing people with more difficult situations, I say the most is encouragement and comfort.

"Everyone has his own lifestyle, there is no need to compare or inferiority. As long as you move forward, everything will gradually get better!"
