On a sunny weekend, Lao Wang went to his daughter's house as usual, ready to take care of his granddaughter Xiaofang. The daughter and son-in-law have gone out to work, and there are only two people at home, Lao Wang and Xiaofang.
"Grandpa, what are we going to eat today?" Xiao Fang happily asked Lao Wang.
"Grandpa made you your favorite chicken leg today!" Lao Wang replied with a smile.
"Great! I like chicken thighs the most!" Xiao Fang jumped happily.
They started preparing lunch, and Fang was happy to help. While waiting for the chicken thighs to be roasted, Wang decided to take the opportunity to tell Xiaofang a story and teach her the importance of cherishing the love of family.
"Xiaofang, do you know what grandpa liked to eat most when he was a child?" Lao Wang asked gently.
"What, what?" Xiao Fang was eager to know the answer.
"At that time, our family was very poor, and it was a luxury to be able to eat a piece of meat. So every time my mom made chicken thighs, my siblings and I would scramble for it. Lao Wang continued.
At this time, there was a "ding" sound in the oven, and the chicken thighs were already baked. Lao Wang carefully took out the chicken thighs, and the aroma came to his nose. Xiao Fang couldn't wait to taste it, but Lao Wang stopped her and motioned for her to listen to him finish the story first.
Lao Wang began to recall those years full of quarrels. Their siblings are always fighting for a little benefit, and their parents are also helpless. Until one day, the father finally became angry and rebuked them harshly: "You children, why are you so selfish? You have to fight for even a piece of chicken leg, how can you love each other in the future? Family members should care for each other, not just themselves!" Father's words were like a slap in the face, and Lao Wang was immediately ashamed. Since then, he has learned to be considerate of others and cherish the friendship of his family.
The chicken thighs are already on the table with an enticing aroma. Xiao Fang's eyes were firmly fixed on the chicken legs, as if they were about to pounce. After Lao Wang finished telling the story, he motioned for her to start eating.
Xiao Fang couldn't wait to pick up a chicken leg and gobble it up. Looking at her appearance, Lao Wang couldn't help but smile. Suddenly, Xiao Fang reached for another chicken leg, and Lao Wang quickly stopped her and said, "Xiao Fang, eat slowly, and keep the rest for grandpa to eat." Unexpectedly, Xiao Fang said confidently: "This is my chicken leg, I want to eat it!"
Xiao Fang's words were like a blow to him, making him realize that his education seemed to have failed. He thought that through that story, Xiaofang could understand the truth that family members should understand and care for each other, but he didn't expect her to be so selfish. Lao Wang's heart was full of disappointment and helplessness, and he didn't know what to do next.
Lao Wang was stunned and speechless for a while. At this moment, Xiao Fang reached for the chicken leg again, and he finally couldn't hold it anymore, and slapped the back of her hand fiercely, making her cry in pain.
"Grandpa, what are you hitting me for?" Xiao Fang cried and screamed.
Lao Wang took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and said as calmly as possible: "Xiaofang, grandpa just told such a story, didn't you understand it? Family members should care for each other, not just themselves!"
Seeing Xiaofang's crying appearance, Lao Wang's mood gradually calmed down. He realizes that a child is a child after all, and that her selfishness is only by nature, not intentional. As an elder, he should guide her in a more patient and wise way, instead of beating and scolding at every turn. Lao Wang began to reflect on whether his education method was proper and whether he should change his approach.
"Xiaofang, come here, sit next to grandpa. Lao Wang said gently. Xiao Fang sat down obediently, with tears on her face.
"I'm sorry, Grandpa just lost his patience and hurt you. Lao Wang sincerely apologized, "But you have to understand that family members should care for each other, not just themselves." We should learn to be considerate and shared, so that we can love each other and have fun. "
Xiao Fang nodded, as if she finally understood her grandfather's intentions. Lao Wang continued: "Come, let's share this delicious lunch together. In the future, whether it's chicken legs or something else, it's going to be shared fairly, okay?"
"Okay, grandpa. Xiao Fang smiled brightly.
They looked at each other and smiled, then began to divide the chicken legs on the table. Lao Wang looked at Xiaofang's sweet and delicious appearance, and his heart was full of relief. Although the process was tortuous, he finally made Xiaofang understand the importance of sharing and caring between his family.
Since then, whenever Lao Wang goes to his daughter's house, Xiaofang will take the initiative to share her snacks or toys with him. Sometimes, she will even give her most beloved things to Lao Wang. Lao Wang knows that behind these small behaviors, there is Xiaofang's deep love for him.
Lao Wang often thinks that educating children is like planting flowers, which need to be carefully watered and patiently waited. Although the process is difficult, as long as you persevere, there will be a day of harvest. Watching Xiaofang grow day by day, Lao Wang was inspired and determined to continue to work hard to teach her more wisdom in life.
The daughter and son-in-law are busy with work and inevitably neglect to take care of Xiaofang. But Lao Wang knows that as long as he is guided with love, the child will definitely be able to go on the right path. He is willing to give everything for this, because seeing Xiaofang grow up healthy and happy is his greatest happiness.
In this way, time flies, and in a blink of an eye, Xiaofang has grown up. She entered society and began her own life journey. However, wherever she went, her grandfather's teachings were deeply rooted in her heart.
One day, Xiaofang returned to her hometown and went to visit Lao Wang's home with excitement. As soon as she opened the door, she saw her grandfather sitting in the living room, holding a photo album in his hand, with a happy smile on his face.
"Grandpa!" Xiao Fang shouted happily, and quickly stepped forward to hug Lao Wang.
"Oh, it's my Xiaofang!" Lao Wang said in surprise, "Come on, sit down and tell grandpa about your experience over the years." "
Xiao Fang happily sat down beside Lao Wang and began to tell him what she had seen and heard. She talked about the experience of working in the field and the details of getting along with her colleagues.
"You know, grandpa? Once my colleague and I almost got into a fight over a small mistake. "But I suddenly remembered the story you taught me when I was a child, so I took the initiative to apologize to him and invited him to share the snacks I brought." "
In this way, we not only resolved the conflict, but even became very good friends. Xiao Fang said with a smile.
Lao Wang was extremely relieved to hear this, and he knew that his teaching back then was not in vain. Xiaofang has firmly remembered the principle of "caring for each other and sharing friendship" in her heart.
"Yes, Xiaofang. Lao Wang nodded and said earnestly, "Wherever you go, you must keep this truth in mind." Friendship and family affection are the most precious treasures in life, and we must learn to cherish and share them in order to be happy. "
Xiao Fang nodded seriously, Lao Wang's words were like a mirror, illuminating the direction she was moving forward.
At this moment, Xiaofang's husband and children also came to Lao Wang's house. The family was happy, and even Lao Wang was very happy with this warm atmosphere.
"Come, grandpa made you a good chicken leg, let's share it together!" Lao Wang said, serving a plate of fragrant chicken legs.
Everyone, you and I will eat the chicken thighs cleanly in no time. After eating, Lao Wang took out the photo album, which recorded all kinds of interesting things about him and Xiaofang in the past.
"Look, Xiaofang, this is your favorite chicken leg when you were a child, and you always gobble it up. Lao Wang smiled and pointed to a photo.
"Oh, grandpa, you just love to tease me. Xiaofang said shyly, and everyone was amused to laugh.
Laughter echoed in this warm family, and Lao Wang's heart was full of happiness and joy. He knows that he has passed on the precious life wisdom of "cherishing family affection and sharing friendship" to Xiaofang, and she will definitely pass on this wisdom from generation to generation and always remember it in her heart.
Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, Lao Wang is already in the twilight of his life. Although he has grown older, he still maintains an optimistic and positive attitude towards life. Whenever Xiaofang and his family came to visit, he was always extra happy, as amiable as when he was younger.
One day, Xiaofang brought her husband and children to Lao Wang's house as a guest. Seeing her grandfather's energetic appearance, she couldn't help but feel emotional.
"Grandpa, you look more energetic than our young people!" Xiao Fang said with a smile.
"Haha, it's all because I have you kids with me. Lao Wang said happily, "You have given me infinite strength and happiness. "
Everyone, you say a word, and the atmosphere is happy. Suddenly, Lao Wang remembered a past incident, so he said: "Xiaofang, do you remember when we were children and quarreled over a piece of chicken leg?"
"Remember, that made me ashamed. Xiao Fang recalled the past, and a trace of shame could not help but appear on her face.
"It's okay, it's just an episode. Lao Wang waved his hand and said, "The important thing is that you learned from that incident the truth of cherishing family affection and sharing friendship." Look at the fact that now, you and your husband and children love each other and have a good time, and that is my greatest comfort. "
Xiao Fang nodded, her eyes showing infinite gratitude. Yes, if it weren't for her grandfather's teachings, she might have become a selfish person who couldn't get along with her family and friends.
"By the way, you all sit down, grandpa will make chicken legs, and we will celebrate as a family. Lao Wang said and was about to get up.
"Don't, don't, grandpa, just sit and rest. Xiao Fang hurriedly said, "Let me make chicken legs, I learned from you!"
With that, Xiao Fang entered the kitchen, and soon there was a burst of fragrance. After a while, she brought out a plate of golden and crispy chicken thighs and placed them in front of everyone.
"Wow, it looks so good! It must be as delicious as Grandpa's cooking!" Lao Wang said with praise.
Everyone ate a piece of steaming chicken thighs, one by one, and I ate happily. Xiaofang's children gobbled it up, and their faces were covered with oil, which was very cute.
"Eat slowly, little ones, or you'll choke. Lao Wang said dotingly.
"It's okay grandpa, let them eat enough. Xiaofang smiled and said, "They are the little ancestors of our family, and they deserve to eat the best." "
The family spent a wonderful afternoon happily. Lao Wang looked at everything in front of him, and his heart was full of happiness. He knows that he has passed on the precious wisdom of life to the next generation, and this seed of love will take root and sprout and be passed on from generation to generation.
At this moment, Lao Wang suddenly remembered something. He took out an old box and carefully opened it, revealing a shriveled chicken leg inside!
"This is the chicken leg you fought about back then!" Lao Wang smiled and said to the children, "Look, it's already dry, but it's ridiculous that you quarreled over it back then." "
"Wow, really, this is a baby!" The children chattered around and looked at the deformed drumstick.
"That's right, this is the chicken leg back then. Lao Wang nodded and said earnestly, "It has witnessed the growth of our family." From the initial selfishness, to later learning to share and love, our family relationship has become deeper and deeper. "
"So, wherever you go in the future, you must remember the principle of 'cherish family affection and share friendship'. Only then will you be able to live a happy and fulfilling life. "
The children nodded seriously, and Xiaofang and her husband were also deeply moved by Lao Wang's words. Yes, the precious wisdom of life is like a seed, as long as it is cultivated with heart, it will surely blossom and bear fruit, and the fragrance will float thousands of miles.
