When I was a child, my grandmother said to me, "In the future, the future will be better, and no matter how rich you are, you can't waste food." The waste of grain is to be punished (the meaning of heaven's dispatch)." At this time, I had a scale in my heart, and my grandmother's words were the "fixing star" on this scale.
How many times, during the meal, I twisted the rice grains that fell on the table and put them into my mouth again to swallow, and I was criticized. However, I do my own thing because I have a scale in my heart.
How many times, during the banquet, on the scene, I clipped the food that had fallen on the table and ate it again, and I was met with the white eyes of the people at the same table and the eyes of the people, and even more contemptuous. I dismissed it because I had that scale in my heart.
Going to the countryside to work and eat at the farmer's house, the farmer discovered my habit and called me the person who knew the peasant best. I never understood what "showmanship" was, or because I had that scale in my heart.
Because of the work, Youyuan went to the countryside with Wang Shousen, the former vice governor of Shaanxi Province, many times, and the governor discovered this habit and called me the person with the most peasant feelings. I've never been flattered by such praise because I have that old scale in my heart.
Gone are the era of gratitude, when "Zhumen dog meat stinks and the road has frozen bones". The "well-off" life has been unfolded before us, and it is related to the habits of each of us. However, the ancient adage of "who knows the plate of Chinese food, the grains are hard" has not become obsolete, nor can it just stay in the loud and childish songs of three-year-old children. Cherishing grain and respecting the sweat of labor is not a "past tense". Waste and throwing away meals cannot be a bad habit on a good day. Keep the bottom line of life and grasp the scale in everyone's heart!
