  A retired elderly couple who have worked in Edinburgh, UK, are going to sell their house and go to Spain to retire. Britain is surrounded by the sea and has a humid climate, so the elderly are prone to rheumatism. He took a fancy to a house in Spain and had to pay within two weeks, so he listed it with a housing agency in Edinburgh and said it was an "urgent sale".
  A young Chinese couple just found a job in this city, their children are going to school, and they are in a hurry to buy a house. After seeing the house photos and prices posted by the intermediary, I was moved. Both the location and the quality of the house are what they hoped for. The young man noticed the words "House for sale urgently", and called the agency, "Can I get a discount?" The old couple thought about the house that had been booked in Spain and was eager to pay, and said "Yes". So the house price was slashed for the first time. Young people feel that there is still room for price cuts.

 


  Two days before signing the house purchase contract, I suddenly said that the price was too high and unacceptable, and I would not buy it unless the price dropped by a larger margin. Unexpectedly, the old couple actually agreed after discussion! The young man was overjoyed, he bought a rare good house for almost the price of cabbage, and he could move in immediately with his bags. On the day of moving, many friends came to help.

 


  As soon as I walked into the courtyard, I was surprised that the grass was green and the flowers were in full bloom. I thought the owner had just left and it still kept its original appearance. Pushing open the door, the young man could hardly believe his eyes. The house is spotless, the windows are bright and clean, there are flowers on the table, and a note on the vase, which reads: "You are very welcome to live in this house that has recorded our happy life for decades. I hope your next life will be the same as ours. Just as happy and healthy!"
  He walked into the kitchen, opened the refrigerator, and there was food and drink in it. There is also a note on the refrigerator magnet, saying, "There is a week's worth of food in the refrigerator for you. You have to drive to the supermarket and turn left and then turn left again. It takes about 20 minutes to get there." The young man began to ponder, is there any house for sale like this? ...
  Looking at the meter box, there is also a note, which says "We have reserved at least one month's electricity bill for you. At this time, we can help you with the relevant name change procedures. In the UK, for this kind of The procedures are very troublesome."...The young man was completely stunned! He stood there for a long time...
  If we can do this one day, we will not be far from the developed countries! Concession is respect and cultivation! Knowing how to make concessions for relatives, friends, and lovers, this is something we can possibly do.
  But being able to make concessions for people who have never met; thinking about others is a noble gentleman's demeanor. The difference between developed countries and developing countries is not the difference between rich and poor, but the difference in human quality. Only the improvement of the quality of the whole people can Can be called a developed country. There are more noble gentlemen.
