No one can give you a future.

At that time, my family was still in the small town in the country. There was a candy shop at the cross street, which was opened by Grandpa Zhao. I remember the first time I ran into the candy store. It was about 4 years old. I clearly remembered that there were a lot of candy that I could buy in the room. I could even smell the sweet smell in the air. Every time Grandpa Zhao heard a small jingle from the front door, he must come out quietly and walk to the back of the candy counter. He was very old at the time, full of silver hair.

When I was poor at home, my brother and I rarely had snacks, so every time the mother went to the street to buy oil and salt sauce, the two of us must follow, and then begged her to take us to the grandfather's candy store. Catch up with my mother, she will give us a dime, and we will run to the candy store with great enthusiasm, and give the grandfather Zhao the money. He took the money cheerfully and let us choose. At this time, the trouble came. So many delicious pieces of sugar were placed on the counter. We really don't know which one to choose. Often I want this, and my brother has to pick another. After a heated debate, Grandpa Zhao took out a white paper bag and loaded the sugar pieces we selected. When we got out of the small shop, we ran home and hid in a place where no one was.

Later, I went to school. Every time I went to school, I would pass through Grandpa’s candy store. I like to stand at the door for a few seconds, smell the candy smell that comes out of the house, suck it with my nose, and I can't tell the joy. I thought, if I had a lot of money, how good it would be to eat the sugar pieces of each taste until you were full.

When I was in the second grade, my brother suffered from jaundice hepatitis. He had injections every day and he also took herbs. I haven't drunk the herbs, I think it's going to be bitter. I only use my tongue to lick it. Every time my brother drinks medicine, the mother has repeatedly persuaded him to say that it is good to drink. A bowl of white sugar water a bowl of herbs, brothers drink one-on-one. After drinking, his mouth was wide and his face was full of pain.

If my brother can eat a piece of candy after drinking the medicine, it will definitely not suffer. Once I think. However, where can I buy sugar?

So every time I passed the grandfather's candy store, I paid more attention to it. I found a small wind chime hanging in the door of the candy store. In fact, it is equivalent to the doorbell. Once someone buys a candy and touches the wind chime with his hand, he will be ashamed. When Grandpa Zhao heard it, he walked out from the back room. If you don't touch the wind chimes directly into it?

At noon that day, it was the lunch break, and I sneaked into the candy store. It was very quiet inside. There was no one. I only heard Grandpa Zhao’s occasional cough in the back room. I was very nervous, and the atmosphere didn't dare to go out. I crept and slowly walked towards the glass cabinet displaying candy, and grabbed a fresh mint fragrant mint. It is a kind of soft candy, which is large and soft. I put the candy in my pocket and turned around. I didn't expect Grandpa Zhao to stand in front of me.

"What is in your pocket?" Grandpa Zhao’s face was very tight.

"I..." I can't speak.

"After being a young age, I will steal things. If I grow up, I am still not fine?"

I lowered my head and my face was hot.

"Take the sugar out!" His voice suddenly became severe.

I subconsciously squeezed my pocket.

"My brother is ill, drinking herbs, very bitter..." My tears flowed out. "I think, he will eat sugar, it will be better."

Grandpa’s face eased and leaned over and said, “But you can’t steal it?”

"Can you give me the sugar?" I looked up and said, "This time."

"No." His tone was decisive.

After a while, he said: "Well, these sugars will be given to you first, and you will be allowed to return the money within a week, otherwise you will tell your mother."

In this way, I ran out of the candy store with tears.

I hate him.

I hate him, he has such a polysaccharide, give me this, he is not bad. miser!

When I got home, I saw so many sugar pieces that he had long dreamed of, and my brother was very excited. However, I did not tell my brother how the sugar came. I only told him that it was not stolen anyway. My brother gave me half of the sugar. I didn't want it. I said that I have eaten much better.

The following week, I went home very late every day, and my mother blamed me. I didn't explain it, because I was going to smash it. I took a bag and sold the bottle to a waste collection station a few miles away. Fortunately, in the past five days, I have gotten the sugar.

"You are a caring child, this is very valuable." Grandpa Zhao took the money and said with awkwardness, "I could have given you the sugar, but I must let you know that you can exchange your own labor for the fruit." It will make more sense."

The hatred in my heart disappeared instantly, and my tears came out again.

"Remember! Children, if you want something, you need to be eager to get it, use your labor to get it. No one can give you something, including your future."

I remembered this sentence and remembered it all my life.

On the road to growth since then, I always reminded myself to motivate myself, whether in college or in the work, I have been down to earth and exchanged my own sweat for every fruit. "No one can give you a future." Any happiness requires you to fight for it, and you need to pay so that you can live with dignity.
