I was heading home for the Spring Festival travel rush when my uncle offered to give me a lift since he was going the same way.
To repay him, I bought five hundred yuan worth of gifts, as my mom had asked.
But when my uncle drove into a gas station and filled up for 1,200 yuan, my aunt expected me to pay.
"Even brothers have to settle accounts. We didn't pick up any fares because we were giving you a lift, and we had to take a big detour to come get you. So shouldn't you be the one paying?"
I looked at my silent uncle and understood why they'd made this trip.
So I grabbed my luggage and gifts and got out of the car without hesitation.
