After great efforts, we finally moved into a new house. After seeing off the last group of friends who came to congratulate us, my wife and I lay heavily on the sofa, staring at the ceiling and thinking about the future, and our own sweetness welled up in our hearts.
Suddenly, the doorbell rang. Get up and open the door. Outside stood two elegant middle-aged men and women who had never met before. They look like a couple.
In doubt, the man introduced them as residents on the first floor and specially came up to congratulate them on their housewarming.
Oh, so it's neighbors! Get in there quickly.
The man quickly waved his hand: "Don't bother, don't bother, there is one more thing I want to ask you for help." I said, "You're welcome. What can we do for you? "
He said: "When entering and leaving the security door of the unit in the future, can you gently close the door?" My old father has a bad heart and can't stand the heavy bell. " Say that finish, quietly looking at us, eyes reveal a deep apology.
I hesitated: "Sure, no problem. I just don't care if I'm in a hurry sometimes. Since your father can't stand being scared, why do you still live on the first floor? "
His wife explained: "Actually, we don't like living on the first floor, which is wet and dirty, but my father's legs and feet are inconvenient, and patients with heart disease should exercise moderately."
I was deeply moved by this and promised to be careful in the future. The couple are so grateful that we are all embarrassed.
In the following days, I found that our unit is really different from other units. When we open and close the iron security door, it is very quiet, and absolutely no other unit "crashes" from time to time. By asking, it's really thanks to these two pairs.
Time flies, and a year has passed in an instant. That night, the couple rang our doorbell again. As soon as he saw us, he didn't say anything. He bowed deeply to my wife and me first. For a long time, he didn't raise his head. The old man died in the hospital last night. Some time ago, he said to his son, thank you very much for taking care of yourself over the years.
After seeing the couple off, I felt from the bottom of my heart: "It's really unexpected and unbearable to close the door gently, just a little effort and get such great gratitude from others." Life is like this. When you are doing good for others, you are also saving happiness for yourself.
