At noon in summer, the sun shines on Ah Xing's courtyard, and the golden light and the emerald green of the leaves are intertwined into a beautiful picture. Ah Xing sat in a rocking chair in the shade of a tree, holding a dense bill in his hand, his brows furrowed.
"Ah Xing, what are you looking at? His wife, Xiaofang, came over with a plate of cut fruit and asked curiously.
Ah Xing sighed and handed the bill to Xiao Fang: "Look at this, this is all the expenses we have spent raising our children until now." I've just done a rough calculation, and it's an astronomical number. ”
Xiao Fang took the bill and looked at it carefully. There was also a look of surprise on her face: "Oh my God, these expenses add up to a lot more than we expected. ”
The bill lists a variety of expenses: from the medical expenses of the child at birth, to daily necessities such as milk powder and diapers, from the tuition fees of kindergartens and primary schools, to the expenses of various interest classes and cram schools, as well as the expenses of clothing, food, housing, transportation, entertainment and leisure. Each of these items is a significant expense, and when added together, it is a staggering number indeed.
Ah Xing and Xiao Fang sat in the courtyard and were silent for a while. They recall the bits and pieces of their children's growth, and those laughter, tears, hard work and dedication are all condensed in this bill.
"Are we being too our children?" said Xiao Fang, with some self-reproach.
Ah Xing shook his head: "No, we are here to give our children a better life and education. These fees are high, but they are all worth it. ”
The two continued to discuss various topics about raising children. They understand that raising children is not only a financial burden, but also a responsibility and responsibility. They are willing to put in all the effort and cost for the future of their children.
"Actually, come to think of it, these expenses are also a manifestation of our love for our children. Ah Xing said suddenly, "We are willing to provide him with better conditions so that he can grow up healthy and happy." ”
Xiao Fang nodded, a hint of firmness flashed in her eyes: "That's right, we are paying for love." As long as we work together as a family, nothing can stop us from moving forward. ”
The summer sun shone on the two of them, as if they were also praising their determination and courage. They know that raising a child is a long journey that requires a lot of hard work and sweat. But they also believe that as long as there is love in their hearts, they can overcome all difficulties and create a better future for their children.
Ah Xing's story makes us understand that raising children is not only a financial investment, but also an emotional and spiritual effort. We need to love them with our hearts, nurture them, and make them useful. And in the process, we will also reap endless happiness and satisfaction.
