"Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you... Recently, Wen Yutong of Guojiahe Village, Peigou Township, Shilou County, ushered in her 12th birthday, there was no lively banquet, the whole family sat together, lit birthday candles, and sang happy birthday songs.
Eating cake and wearing the new clothes bought by her mother, Yu Tong was excited. When the reporter asked whether such a simple birthday was happy, Xiao Yutong-face innocently said that she was very happy, because her father said that in the future, the students would simply celebrate their birthdays and no longer invite each other, and she did not need to bother to choose birthday gifts for her classmates, otherwise she would have to attend at least a dozen birthday parties this semester.
In fact, in addition to promoting crooked habits, it has no substantive significance for children, and the sense of ceremony created by parents is the most precious memory in the beautiful moments of children's growth. -A child's favorite gift, a fun picnic, etc., can stimulate children's natural fun, and the cultivation of children's values is also a good inspiration. Excessive extravagance and waste not only cause misleading to children, but also violate the original intention of parents to express their love for their children.
Yu Tong's father, Wen Yanyun, pinched his finger and calculated an account: "If you follow the original plan, don't need to calculate more, 10 tables of banquets, each table is calculated according to 500 yuan, plus tobacco and alcohol, there is no ten thousand yuan This birthday banquet can not come!" He confessed, "This is very good, the children are happy, and the adults have saved a lot of trouble." In fact, our family originally did not have the tradition of holding a 12th birthday party for their children, but seeing that everyone did it, they did not do it and had no face, so they thought of doing it once and for all. Later, after the cadres from the township came to their homes to preach about changing customs and customs, and broke and kneaded them to explain the reasoning and lay out the facts, I figured it out. It is a good thing to change customs and customs, think about it, in the future, children do not have a bride price when they get married, wedding banquets are not much more complicated, and the share of money is also saved, and the burden of the peasants is much lighter, and the days will be even better!" 」 Yes, otherwise, it will cost tens of millions of yuan a year. This change of customs and customs is a great thing in any way, in fact, everyone is willing to accept, only everything is difficult at the beginning, someone must take the lead first, Yan yun, you have brought a good start to our village this time!" The village party secretary happily gave Yu Tong's father a thumbs up.
