After reading it, I felt a little touched...

Last month, a friend of mine, Wei, had an accident in his business and was in urgent need of money. When he called me, I felt a little strange, because our relationship is only limited to ordinary friends, we have a little hesitation. I said: I will give you a call later.
After 10 minutes of consideration, I decided to lend him the money.
He gave me the money last week and asked me to drink tea later.
He said: You promised to lend me money, which is beyond my expectation!
I asked: Why?
He replied: before you called, I had already called 9. You are 10th. When you say "give you a call later", I think I need to make 11th calls. I made these 10 phone calls based on close relationships, and the more I got behind me, the less confident I was. Therefore, it was a dead horse to call you.
Afterwards, we talked a lot about this topic. He simply said: If I didn't borrow money this time, I thought I had many friends and now I realized that I was so lonely.
After a few days, I was thinking about it. Then, I decided to know whether I was as lonely as my friend. Before doing this, I called him and told him his thoughts. He smiled: I advise you not to do this kind of game. This will make you feel like you have fallen into hell from heaven!
I picked out the names of my friends I think they are now. These people are all local and not listed in the field for the time being. They have never had any financial lending relationship with me, I have nothing to do with my work. We often have dinner, tea, or bars. I usually help each other in a little favor, there are nine friends in the pure sense, and it is certainly not a big problem to borrow tens of thousands of pieces of economic strength.
I sent each of them a text message with similar content:
I am in trouble now. I need to ask you to borrow yuan and return it within one month. If you can call me, send a message if you cannot. It doesn't matter. I will wait for you to reply.
I sent it yesterday afternoon. I had not arrived at dinner. I received 7 messages and 2 calls. Basically, the information was quickly returned, not more than an hour. One call was sent about 20 minutes after the message was sent, and another call was sent about two and a half hours after the message was sent. The seven pieces of information are as follows: (except my name is replaced by XX, others' names are replaced by Y, and the information content is not changed)
Chen: Sorry! I am a little difficult at the moment, really, or you have nothing to say about it. Ask YYY, sorry! (Note: YYY is a friend of ours)
JOE: XX. My brother-in-law just asked me to borrow 0.2 million in the last week. There is another possibility next month. Sorry!
Tang: during this time, I had a hard time myself. I lost a lot of money when I played mahjong in the previous period, XX. Sorry, if I had a good situation, it would be okay.
Wang: Sorry, my money is in stock. Sorry!
Chen: XX, how do you want to borrow money? I lent 0.1 million yuan to someone yesterday. It's just a piece of information. You don't have to say that. Sorry, you can try another way.
LU: Sorry, my stock has been locked recently and I don't have any cash in my hand. Sorry!
Chapter: XX. My son will transfer his school to YY Middle School in Pudong (the school name is omitted here). It is a boarding school and I will pay 50 thousand yuan for it. I really cannot help you. Please forgive me!
The phone number is from a friend surnamed Wang and surnamed Zhang.
First call:
Wang: Hello, XX?
Me: Hello, it's me!
Wang: What do you do? Why do you need to borrow money? What happened to you?
Me: nothing happened. I put my money in the market. I will renew it at half past one. My brother has something to worry about and is eager to use.
Wang: It's okay. Are you in the company?
Me: Ah, yes!
Wang: My son was hit by a bicycle when he went to school and his calf was broken. I haven't been out for a few days.
Me: ah? Why didn't you hear about your son's fracture? Want help?
Wang: I took a week off, and my husband's damn company won't take a vacation. I'm going to ask my mom to come and take care of me next week. Don't worry! Tell me the bank card number. I asked my husband to call you at work tomorrow.
..........................................
Second call:
Zhang: Hello, XX. I'm Zhang Y. Where are you now?
Me: I am in the company!
Zhang: Oh, I just arrived at the store, and the money is ready. Can I send it to you or come and get it?
Me: How can I send it to you? Well, I'll go to your place and write a debit card for you later. When the money arrives, it will hit my card.
Zhang: Give me the card number. I will help you call it now. What can I do? ICBC or China Construction Bank?
Me: whatever line is convenient for you?
Zhang: ICBC is opposite the store. You can give me the ICBC card number.
..............................
Last night, Wei and I went to the coffee together, and each of them made a sigh of relief. I told him that the two friends who lent me money had never bothered me to solve anything for them. Other friends had to bother me from time to time. It was a computer problem for a while, it will be a matter of stocks and investment ......
He asked me: Are you going to tell them the truth?
I said: unless I start to feel nervous tonight!
He smiled and said: from now on, you only have these two friends.
I don't remember what book I have read. It seems that people who have helped you will always help you, but not necessarily those who have helped you. I also smiled and looked at the rising smog in front of my eyes and said, "I understand, don't say anything, it's okay. In this way, if you encounter difficulties in the future, you will know who to look for and help you. You may not be able to ask for unreliable people. You may feel uncomfortable in your own heart, and other people may feel embarrassed and delayed things. Know what kind of friends can play together and what kind of friends can rely on. For friends who can play together, they usually play together and don't bother them with things. For those who can rely on them, they should be well treated. Don't look at me, I have many friends, only the people in Liao are truly reliable. Cherish your reliable friends and strive to make yourself a reliable friend of others so that you can take root in this city.

Comments: Even if you have a good social relationship, there are only a few people who can help you in your difficult times. It is just the loneliness of a group of people. A real friend is the one who can accompany you through loneliness, loneliness, and silence.
  

In fact, I have read this sentence before and it seems to be a story from a Jewish merchant asking for help. I also think this sentence is very reasonable. What are friends? I think the following definitions can be well explained.

1. Good friends don't feel embarrassed even if they don't talk.

2. A friend is the one who sees you and wants to be with you.

3. Friends are people who don't look at you for any reason.
