In the hustle and bustle of life, we often ignore the simplest and deepest emotions. They are like pearls hidden in the bottom of the heart, which need to be found with heart and touched with affection. Family affection is one of the most brilliant ones. It transcends the boundaries of age and generation, and warms our hearts in its own unique way.
Recently, a woman in Shaanxi went back to her parents' house to visit relatives, and her 101-year-old grandfather was waiting alone in the living room.
The woman returned to her parents' house with her daughter, and when she walked in, she found that the rest of the family had gone out to work, except for the elderly grandfather, who was alone in a wheelchair and dozing off.
This grandfather is 101 years old, but he is still red and energetic. The woman called "grandpa" softly, and as soon as her voice fell, the grandfather opened his eyes slightly, and saw his granddaughter standing in front of him, with a surprised look on his face, thinking that he was dreaming.
"Grandpa, why don't you go back to your room and sleep?" the woman asked with concern.
Grandpa smiled and replied, "Grandpa is waiting for you." ”
It turned out that the old grandfather had already learned that his granddaughter was coming back today, so he waited in the living room. This expectation and waiting is the endless longing and concern for her, the married granddaughter, which makes the woman's heart can't help but surge with a warm current.
Then, the grandfather quietly led the woman to the room, carefully opened the drawer at the head of the bed, and said mysteriously, "I'll give you a good thing." ”
The woman stepped forward curiously, only to see her grandfather take out a ball of paper from a drawer. When the paper ball slowly unfolded, it was actually a roast chicken leg inside.
The woman was shocked, she couldn't imagine that her grandfather still remembered that she liked to eat roast chicken thighs when she was a child. This memory seems to have traveled through time and space, connecting the past and the present, and moved the woman.
The woman asked her grandfather who bought the chicken legs for him, but the old man said lightly: "You don't care who bought the chicken legs, you will eat them first." This sentence is simple and unpretentious, but it contains the grandfather's deep love for his granddaughter.
The woman said, "I've grown so big, you can buy me chicken legs." ”
The old man said, "Even if you grow up to 100 years old, you will be my granddaughter." When the woman heard her grandfather say this, she burst into tears instantly, and her heart was full of feelings, she knew that no matter how old she grew, in the eyes of her grandfather, she would always be the granddaughter who needed to be loved.
The woman took the chicken leg with mixed feelings in her heart. She looked at her grandfather's wrinkled face, and an indescribable emotion welled up in her heart. She wanted to pass on this love, so she handed the chicken leg back to her grandfather: "Grandpa, you eat first." But the grandfather resolutely refused and insisted that his granddaughter eat first. This stubborn love made the woman even more moved.
Finally, the woman called her daughter, and the three of them shared the chicken leg together. This simple action symbolizes the affection and inheritance of three generations. At this warm moment, the woman felt the power of family affection, and also understood that the boundaries of generations are so insignificant in front of family affection.
Family affection is great and selfless, it is not limited by age and generation, just because of that blood-related emotion, it has left a deep imprint on each other's lives. Grandpa's love for his granddaughter, his granddaughter's gratitude to his grandfather, and his granddaughter's inheritance of his daughter all constitute a moving chapter in this heartwarming story.
In this fast-paced society, it is easy for us to ignore the family affection around us. We are so busy with work and study that we forget to give our family a hug and a smile. However, it is these seemingly insignificant actions that allow us to thrive in the nourishment of family affection. Therefore, we should cherish the family affection around us, and use our hearts to experience, express, and inherit.
Seniority is not an obstacle to family affection. No matter what generation we are in, we should respect and care for our loved ones. Because, in the world of family affection, there is no distinction between high and low generations, only the warmth and beauty of mutual support and common growth.
