My uncle is an ordinary good man-essays.

As long as I can remember, my most unforgettable person is my uncle. Although he is a county-level cadre, he is also a local celebrity. However, he is an ordinary good man in my mind.

My grandmother's home is Ziliuwu Village. I have been listening to my mother tell me stories about my uncle since I was a child. The uncle I wrote here is Wang Dengcai, the fourth brother of her fourth aunt's family.

In the 1960s, there were seven brothers in our family, and the situation at home was so bad that my mother could not stop receiving relief from my uncle. Grandma lives in the south bank of Hutuo River, which floods once a year. The crops produce a grain of wheat in autumn. Although life is hard, it is better than life in our village. Our village is all saline-alkali and glistening. Crops seldom grow. Wild vegetables should be put in almost every meal.

My uncle was a militia at that time. Seeing his mother with her young brother and sister, he went out for more than ten miles and went to Niangjia Village to pick up the ears of wheat or black beans in the field. He will carry his mother's basket and lead his brothers and sisters back to Ziliuwu Village. There are more than a dozen people in the fourth grandma's family, and one pot of rice is almost one person and one bowl. Fourth Uncle always fills his mother with a bowl of rice. When I left. I also secretly gave a few wowotou. This is what my mother told me. Let me remember my uncle all my life. Want me to be a good person like my uncle.

Fourth grandma also gave her uncle a look for this. After all, she is her niece and grandma is a bodhisattva. She always adds a few words of blessing to our family to the prayers of the incense burner.

When I was in junior high school, my room was suddenly overwhelmed and broke down on a rainy day. At that time, there was no market for buying wood in the countryside. Father found that where commune is far from our village. My uncle was then the secretary of the commune. I hope uncle can rest assured that I can buy a piece of wood and spend less money. Uncle said, you go home. I'll get someone to help you pull it tomorrow.

When my father came home, he told his mother about it. Both mother and father were very angry. Let's not take advantage of people on business trips, which will also make them make mistakes. Mom said, you can go tomorrow, we don't want it. We'll take care of it ourselves.

The next day, my uncle sent the wood early in the morning. Mom said let people pull it back, and don't let my uncle make mistakes. The driver said that Wang Shuji personally paid 49 yuan, and the foot money was also paid. Mom said that it takes more than a month's salary, and my uncle is also a breadwinner.

For this matter, the mother is not less than the father. Mother said that my uncle has a good heart and he looks down on the poor. I secretly made up my mind to study hard and become an official when I grow up, just like my uncle.

After graduating from normal school, I was lucky enough to work in an office with my uncle. Although in different departments, but working in a compound, often have the opportunity to meet. Every holiday, he and Zhang Zi will buy something for their parents to take back. Mother said that we are children of peasant families, and we should live up to the conscience of heaven and earth when we go to work. Don't tell the leader that you are uncle Cai Deng's nephew. You are you, not to mention working for yourself under the banner of uncle. Don't embarrass your uncle.

At that time, my uncle had just served as the full-time deputy secretary of the Political and Legal Committee of Raoyang County Committee. I worked in the confidential room of the county party Committee for eight years. His achievements in work are obvious to all. I have published literary works and papers in provincial journals, and I have also received the attention of the county party Committee. Because I often deal with leaders, the leaders of the county party Committee know something about me. At that time, all my colleagues who joined the company at the same time were promoted to metre, and I was still a clerk. I also want my mother and uncle to tell me that I will go to a good unit or get a promotion.

Mother said, I don't want to be an official. You are much better than our generation. At that time, when your grandmother and father fought Japanese devils, they both hoped for a good life. You are now the first college student in Xujia, and my face is very glorious. Be a practical person.

1992, secretary Li, the leader of the county party Committee in charge of politics and law, said, have you worked in the county party Committee for almost ten years? I see you are also very practical in your work. Do you have any ideas? I said, mom won't let me be an official. Secretary li smiled, then I'll arrange for you to go to politics and law committee. what do you think? Starting as a secretary, writing articles is also your strong point, and the Political and Legal Committee just needs you to write materials like this.

Two days later, Secretary Li called me over. My uncle was there when I opened the door. Secretary Li said, Lao Wang, the secretary I introduced to you today is here. My uncle said that he is. He is my nephew. No, no, Secretary Li. None of the nephews followed his uncle. Secretary Li said in surprise that work is work and feelings are feelings. Are we separated? I think there is no problem. Xiao Xu works hard, is honest and does not strive for fame and fortune. Such young people are hard to find. However, in the end my uncle refused.

Later, due to work needs, I came to the Party History Department of the county party committee. The party history department is the Qingshui yamen, and it has no right, no money and no car. Office expenses are also per capita wages. Many people are keen on my interests. With your qualifications and social connections, it is easy to be promoted to deputy position in the economic sector. I gave a wry smile. But I can't get over this.

Yes, I was the first graduate to work in an office in the 1980s, and my actual work performance has been advanced in many counties and cities. My promotion was blocked because of my uncle. I don't understand my uncle's unreasonable behavior.

But I didn't tell my mother. Every time my mother asks about my uncle, I just pass it by. I always feel awkward. As a result, I didn't go to my uncle's house to pay New Year greetings for two consecutive Spring Festival holidays. Sometimes when I meet my uncle, I bow my head and go there.

1August, 1996, the south embankment of Hutuo River burst. The farmland in my village was flooded, and there was no harvest of good autumn grain. After the flood, my uncle and cousin came to see my parents. At that time, he was transferred to a government department as the head. He left my parents necessities and 200 yuan money to help them tide over the difficulties. Later, my mother told me that my uncle's kindness should be remembered for a lifetime.

Later, my sister went to see my uncle, who told me something about me. When I got home, my mother scolded me. Say I have a conscience. Who have you forgotten? Don't forget your uncle. I have several brothers. Who helped us when we were in trouble? But your uncle is closer than his own brother, and he keeps his sister in his heart. How can you do such a heartless thing?

So I crustily skin of head to see my uncle. I know I was wrong and narrow-minded. My uncle said that you still hate me. I grew up watching you grow up. How can an uncle not love his nephew? It is still feasible for you to study a problem with your head. If you study the history of the Party, you will be famous, too. Do we have to join others to squeeze the road to being an official?

My uncle knows me best. Yes, he knows my growing experience, my personality and temper, and he has been paying attention to my articles. He said I was a scholar. From then to today, I still worked in the Party History Department of Raoyang County Committee for nearly 25 years. My uncle's words made me look down on the gains and losses of fame and fortune and found the direction of my work.

Now he is a professional author of Geng Changsuo, a figure in the history of the Central Party. He wrote the first heroic epic of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression in Raoyang County, the hometown of heroes, and published many historical monographs and hundreds of literary works.

I thank my uncle. I can give full play to my professional skills and contribute to the construction of cultural Raoyang. Be a good person, I won't embarrass my uncle. This is my mother's words, and I think it is also my uncle's hope.
