The familiar nursery rhyme echoed in my ears, evoking my endless thoughts and yearning for my carefree childhood.
At that time, we were innocent and innocent, immersed in the life picture depicted in the drama "Family with Children" and couldn't extricate ourselves.
Liu Xing's family lives an "ordinary" life in our eyes, but it is this seemingly ordinary "ordinary" that makes me feel very emotional when I look at it again after 17 years, and I deeply feel that my current living situation is really "unattainable".
It is true that we were so simple back then, taking for granted the life that should have been luxurious in the play.
Beijing's second ring road is a spacious school district with a separate bedroom for each child in addition to the master bedroom, a wide range of appliances, up to three TVs, and a computer in each room.
Not to mention the fridge full of snacks and cold drinks, from cola and sprite to milk tea and ice cream.
For many years, my family only had an old TV of more than 20 inches, and a computer was an unattainable dream.
Although life has improved now, there may still be a world of difference compared with the rich life of Liu Xing's family, which has "no desires and no desires".
As parents, we still yearn for the carefree daily life of the past, and yearn to relive the harmonious and happy family atmosphere. More importantly, however, we recognise that the cornerstone of all this lies in our economic strength.
Only with sufficient wealth can you live such a leisurely and contented life.
"Everybody's definition of 'abundance' is different. "I thought to myself, for us today, to be able to own our own home, get rid of the pressure of a huge mortgage, and live a carefree life, maybe it is the supreme wealth.
However, looking back on the life of Liu Xing's family, it seems that we will never be able to reach that height. In addition to the master bedroom, each child even has their own independent bedroom.
The home has everything you need, including up to three televisions and a computer in every room.
On top of that, the fridge is stocked with a wide variety of food and soft drinks, from the evocative Coke Sprite to the mellow Golego milk tea.
Imagine the luxuries of yesteryear that were out of reach when we were children! I was impressed to find that I didn't even have a television in my house, and a computer was an unattainable dream.
However, although our quality of life has been significantly improved and our home facilities have gradually improved, there is still an insurmountable gap to achieve a "desireless" standard of life like Liu Xing's family.
We have had a lot, but we still yearn for the affluent life they once had, the freedom and comfort that have been thoroughly satisfied by their material needs.
In addition to the abundance of home life, we are also envious of the exquisite food that Liu Xing's family enjoys every day. I still vividly remember that every scene in the show shows the inside of the refrigerator, always full of delicious dishes.
From fresh milk and eggs to a dazzling array of fresh fruit, from delicious cola and sprite to delicious Mirinda to delicious bread, ham and rich cheese.
What's more worth mentioning is that at the bottom of the refrigerator, there are all kinds of ice creams that exude an attractive aroma. In our childhood memories, Häagen-Dazs is undoubtedly the most high-end luxury, and for Liu Xing's family, it is obvious that it has become a part of daily life and can be savored to the fullest.
In addition, I vividly remember that there is often a mysterious milk tea-style drink called "Gao Lego" in the play. I saw Liu Xing and his two younger sisters Xiaoxue and Xiaoyu having a soft spot for him, and often feasted on a can of Gao Lego in their hands.
After Internet inquiries, it turned out that Gao Lego is a kind of lactic acid milk tea, similar to the modern market "Chun Zhen" and other brands, seemingly plain, but in fact at that time it was an expensive "luxury" in our era, even ordinary soda had to be frugal to buy.
Looking back at the daily life of Liu Xing's family again, we find that their table is filled with five or six delicacies at every meal, from delicious home-cooked stir-fried food to fragrant sauce-flavored pork ribs, everything is dazzling!
I remember that episode, Liu Xing and his sisters were deeply intoxicated by the specialty small seafood of a well-known food stall.
Surprisingly, Xia Donghai, the father, not only did not have any objections, but did not hesitate to lead the whole family to go there happily and happily enjoy a delicious feast.
What's even more amazing is that even for ordinary family gatherings, their homes are well-decorated and full of guests.
For example, on one occasion, the children held a lively family party at home, and in addition to the rich and diverse food, Xia Donghai's father specially opened a bottle of expensive champagne and poured it into a goblet to celebrate with relatives and friends.
When I saw this scene, I couldn't help but be shocked: toasting, drinking champagne, and at the time of the Chinese New Year, we would buy some cola soda at most, and I couldn't imagine such a high-end alcoholic drink.
Judging from clothing, food, housing and transportation, Liu Xing's family undoubtedly lives a typical "aristocratic life", and the most eye-catching of them are their parents.
Ms. Liu Mei in the play is the head nurse of a large hospital, and her monthly bonus is as high as 1,000 yuan, which is quite a considerable income in that year.
As for Xia Donghai's father, as a senior screenwriter and TV drama planner, his income is naturally more lucrative, and he can be called a hot all-round star at that time, it is precisely because of the high salaries of the two parents that he brought a stable and wealthy life to the family.
However, it is worth noting that the happy life of Liu Xing's family does not depend only on material conditions, Xia Donghai's father's thoughtful education concept is a priceless treasure that really affects the children's lifelong growth.
As we all know, naughty children often have various problems in their family life, such as poor test scores, improper behavior during school, lack of patience with classmates and friends, etc., which have caused headaches for countless parents.
However, behind the seemingly simple "mistakes", there is actually a hidden importance of educational methods and methods, let's explore together how Xia Donghai's father used wisdom and patience to deal with the challenges faced by these parents in the drama "Family with Children".
Once, Xiaoxue's close friend suffered the merciless torture of life - cancer, in the face of all this, Xiaoxue was deeply hit by the heart but had nowhere to pour out the pain in her heart.
At this moment, as a mother, Liu Mei tried to ask hard, eager to help her daughter get out of the predicament as soon as possible and completely release her emotions.
However, Mr. Xia Donghai decisively built a line of defense, and said in a deep voice: "Everyone has their own independent growth path, and there are many small secrets hidden deep in the heart, which may seem insignificant from a micro perspective, but from a macro perspective, they constitute our right to privacy."
From this small detail, we can get a glimpse of Mr. Xia Donghai's deep respect for the children's inner world.
Rather than forcing the children to be honest with each other, he gave them plenty of freedom and time, patiently guiding them to open up gradually.
This kind of respect and understanding is really touching!
Recall another haunting scene from the show. It was Liu Xing who returned home full of grievances after having a conflict with others at school.
originally thought that what was waiting for him would be a severe punishment from his mother Liu Mei, but unexpectedly, Mr. Xia Donghai personally led him into the study and prepared to have a "serious conversation".
At that time, my heart was full of worries, however, when I was expecting Father Xia to severely reprimand Liu Xing, I found that they were talking and laughing, it turned out that this was just a "bitter ploy", in order to avoid Liu Mei's mother's blame.
On the surface, he is naughty, but in fact he is deeply caring, which is exactly how Mr. Xia Donghai gets along with the children.
He never punished the children severely for their mistakes, but skillfully resolved the family conflicts in a humorous way, so that the children could realize their mistakes in laughter, this love and wisdom are really commendable!
Father Xia's meticulous education is infiltrated in the bits and pieces of daily life. For example, in one episode, in order to curry favor with the crew investors, Lao Shang actually made up a lie that Father Xia had lived in the United States.
Match words with deeds and lead by example, this is Daddy Xia's firm belief in treating his children. He never used his father's authority to suppress his children, but communicated with them as equals, using wisdom to guide them to correct their mistakes when they were confused, and even when he made mistakes, he was always the first to apologize to his children.
Under this kind of education, it seems to be unremarkable, but invisibly, the far-reaching impact on children is immeasurable!
Perhaps at that time, because we were still young, we could only be attracted by the luxurious material life of the Xia family, and ignored the precious educational concept of Xia's father.
Only when the years go by and life precipitates, can we suddenly realize that what is desirable and admirable is his unique and thoughtful wisdom of life.
