Mr. Zhang is an ordinary middle-aged man who lives an ordinary and comfortable life. He and his wife were very close to each other, started from scratch, became rich through hard work, and now they are enjoying their old age in peace. They have a son and a daughter, son Zhang Hao and daughter Zhang Jia, who are their pride and treasure.
Zhang Hao has been excellent in character and learning since he was a child, and is deeply expected by his parents. He was even more diligent and studious after going to university, and was hired by a well-known company with excellent grades when he graduated. Over the past few years, Zhang Hao has been promoted with his ability and hard work, and is now an executive of the company, with an annual salary of up to 300,000 yuan.
As parents, Mr. and Mrs. Zhang are extremely proud of their son's achievements. Although they come from an average family, they teach their children to be down-to-earth and work diligently from an early age. Now they are very relieved to see their son's successful career.
One day, Zhang Hao called and cordially invited his parents to his home for a few days. Mr. and Mrs. Zhang were very happy to hear their son's invitation. They hadn't seen their son in a while, and he must have missed them a lot. So, they gladly agreed to their son's invitation.
"Wow, son, your house is really magnificent!" Mr. Zhang exclaimed.
Zhang Hao smiled and said, "Mom, don't be too exaggerated. This is just a small home for us ordinary people, and we hope you can live comfortably here. "
As he spoke, he warmly entertained his parents and prepared a sumptuous lunch for them. Seeing such a privileged life for their son, Mr. and Mrs. Zhang couldn't help but feel extremely gratified.
After staying at his son's house for a day, Mr. Zhang began to pay attention to his son's lifestyle. He goes out to work early in the morning and comes home at 10 o'clock in the evening. Back at home, he was always busy with official business and had little free time. Seeing his son working so hard, Mr. Zhang couldn't help but feel a little distressed. However, the son seems to have gotten used to this rhythm of life.
Fortunately, the son's wife, Wang Fang, is a virtuous and good wife. She is considerate and takes care of the housework to keep everything in order at home. Every night, she prepares a nutritious dinner for her husband and takes care of his daily life. With Wang Fang's considerate care, Mr. Zhang's heart felt a little comforted.
In the evening, Wang Fang reheated the leftovers on the table. When he saw the leftovers in front of him, Mr. Zhang was very sad. As a parent, he should set an example and teach his children the good habit of frugality, but he made such a greedy move, which is really ashamed of his son!
Just when Mr. Zhang blamed himself, his son Zhang Hao spoke. He said in a stern tone, "Dad, I am really disappointed by your behavior today. You should set a good example and set a good example, but you are ashamed to do such a gluttonous thing! You must know that wasting food is a sin, and we must know how to cherish hard-won food. "
Hearing such a harsh reprimand from his son, Mr. Zhang was embarrassed and ashamed. yes, how could he behave like that? He should reflect on it.
Seeing his father's ugly face, Zhang Hao's tone softened. He said, "But, Dad, don't blame yourself too much. You've worked hard all your life, and now that you're older, it's okay to have some leftovers once in a while. But I'm a bit heavy, I hope you don't mind. "
Hearing his son's words, Mr. Zhang's heart suddenly brightened. Yes, my son has a point. He's getting older, and he really should enjoy life. It's just that their generation, influenced by poverty since childhood, has developed the habit of frugality, and sometimes it is inevitable to be too cautious.
Mr. Zhang told his son that he had benefited a lot from his words. As father and son, they should communicate more and understand each other.
This incident made Mr. Zhang reflect on a problem: people of different generations often have very different concepts of life. Their generation, living in an age of material scarcity, was taught to be thrifty from an early age. The generation of people like my son, living in an era of relative material affluence, pays more attention to the quality of life and pursues spiritual satisfaction. This difference has created differences in some of their concepts.
After the baptism of this incident, the relationship between Mr. Zhang and his son Zhang Hao became more intimate. Mr. Zhang began to take the initiative to adapt to his son's lifestyle and learn to enjoy life.
Once, Zhang Hao invited his family to a high-end restaurant for a big meal. Mr. Zhang originally wanted to save money and only ordered a small dish. But Zhang Hao persuaded him: "Dad, you don't have to be so frugal now, enjoy life." "
Mr. Zhang was touched by his son's thoughtfulness, ordered a few dishes he liked, and was satisfied and happy. When he got home, he said to his wife, "My son has such a good living condition now, and we should learn to enjoy it." "
His son Zhang Hao also understands the style of his parents' generation more and accepts their suggestions with an open mind. Once, when Zhang Hao was about to make a major decision in the company, he specifically asked his father for advice. Based on his years of life experience, Mr. Zhang gave pertinent advice to his son. Zhang Hao listened to his father's advice, and later found that this decision was indeed very far-sighted.
With mutual understanding, the relationship between father and son is no longer as distant as before, but has become intimate and friendly. They often get together, talk heartily, and share the joys and sorrows of life.
Life is short, and we should cherish the current family affection. With the precious gift of his son, Mr. Zhang's life seems complete and happy.
Mr. Zhang often thinks about how bleak his life would have been in his later years without his son's achievements and care. It was his son who gave him a happy and healthy life in his old age, with no worries about eating and drinking. More importantly, his son gave him spiritual comfort and made him feel loved and valued.
Once, Mr. Zhang happily said to his son: "Son, if it weren't for you, how lonely my old age would be! With you as a good son, my life will be complete." "
Zhang Hao was deeply moved by his father's heartfelt words, and he hugged his father tightly, his eyes moist. Yes, the love between father and son is so sincere and precious.
Since then, Mr. Zhang has learned how to cherish the current family affection. Whenever he gets together with his son, he will wholeheartedly enjoy this family happiness and be grateful for the happiness and warmth given by his son. He knows that having a relative like his son is the greatest gift from God.
Mr. Zhang was deeply touched by this incident. He realized that it is normal for people of different generations to have different ideas and pursuits for life. The important thing is to understand and tolerate each other.
Mr. Zhang began to reflect on his past practices. As a father, he should respect his son's way of life and not rest on his laurels. At the same time, he also hopes that his son will be considerate of his generation's frugal habits, rather than arbitrarily denying it.
Once, Mr. Zhang took the initiative to find his son and said, "Son, I know that you reprimanded me like that out of good intentions, and I don't blame you." It's just that our generation has developed the habit of frugality due to the influence of poor days, and sometimes it is inevitable to be too cautious. But you're right, I should have learned to enjoy life. "
Zhang Hao was moved by his father's humility and understanding, and he said sincerely: "Dad, you don't have to blame yourself. You've been frugal all your life, and it's because I should have more respect for your way of life. I just hope that when you can, you can also enjoy the joy of family. "
The father and son met each other honestly, eliminating the estrangement and understanding each other better. Since then, Mr. Zhang has learned to indulge himself appropriately in life, and Zhang Hao has become more considerate of his father's way of doing things and no longer stubborn.
As time passed, the relationship between father and son became more and more harmonious. Not only did they understand each other, but they also began to help each other and make each other's lives more fulfilling and meaningful.
Zhang Hao is busy with work and often neglects family life. Once, he worked overtime for more than a week, and his wife Wang Fang couldn't bear it anymore and confided in her in-laws about the problem. Mr. Zhang understood the pressure of his son's work and took the initiative to take his wife to help take care of his grandchildren's daily life.
With the help of his parents, Zhang Hao has no worries about his work, and his work efficiency has been greatly improved. He was deeply moved and determined to manage his family life well. Since then, he will spend more time with his wife and children and spend more time with his parents.
Mr. Zhang did not enjoy his son's gift in vain, and he took the initiative to share his son's worries and solve problems. Once, Zhang Hao encountered a thorny problem at work, and he turned to his father for help. Based on his own life experience, Mr. Zhang put forward pertinent suggestions to help his son solve his problems smoothly.
With mutual help, the family's relationship is more harmonious. Mr. Zhang felt that in his later years, with his son to rely on, his life became more fulfilling and meaningful.
Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, Mr. Zhang has entered the age of antiquity. Whenever he looks back on his life experiences, he will thank God for the gift that allowed him to have such a happy family.
Once, the whole family went out to play. Looking at the happy scene of the family, Mr. Zhang's eyes couldn't help but moisten. He said to his son with great emotion: "Son, if it were not for you, how bleak my old age would be. With you beloved ones, my life is complete. "
Zhang Hao was deeply moved by his father's heartfelt words, he hugged his father tightly, and his eyes were moist. Yes, the love between father and son is so sincere and precious.
Since then, Mr. Zhang has learned to cherish the current family time. Whenever he gets together with his son, he will wholeheartedly enjoy this family happiness and be grateful for the happiness and warmth given by his son. He knows that having a relative like his son is the greatest gift from God.
Time flies, and the years are merciless. Mr. Zhang's son is also gradually entering middle age, and he is beginning to understand his father's mood back then. Once, Zhang Hao said to his father: "Dad, I finally understand how you felt back then. With parents like you and your mother, our lives seem so happy and fulfilling. I will definitely cherish you and honor you well. "
After hearing this, Mr. Zhang burst into tears and hugged his son deeply. Yes, family affection is such a precious thing, it can travel through time and space, and it will last forever. As long as we cherish the present moment and grasp the family affection in our hands, our lives will become more fulfilling and happy.
