As a daughter, I have always had a wish to be able to do my best to honor my parents. I understand that my parents have given me so much and they have worked hard to provide for me to go to school and give me a warm home. So, when I was able, I decided to give them three thousand dollars a month.
Recently, as a grandmother's daughter, I have another big moment - my daughter is pregnant. As always, I hope to be able to visit her while she is in confinement. However, it was precisely because of this decision that I had to give up the 3,000 yuan I gave to my parents every month. This decision pained me, but I knew that now the object of filial piety needed to be changed.

Dream in Nanke
My name is Xiaofang, I am Chinese New Year's Eve two years old, and I am an ordinary working woman. My parents and I live in a small city, and each one has its own unique life and busyness. In the midst of my busy schedule, my relationship with my parents gradually became estranged. In order to work, I often work late overtime, and it is already late at night when I get home. My parents also don't have much time to spend with me due to their busy schedules. Communication between us is becoming less and less, and even I don't know how they've been doing lately.
One night, in a dream, I dreamed of that summer when I was a child. That year, I had just started elementary school, and every day after school, my mother always waited for me at home and took me to the toy store to pick out my favorite toys. I still remember having a doll that I particularly liked at the time, and every time I saw it, my eyes lit up. Once, I said to my mother, "Mom, I love this doll so much, but it's so expensive." "Unexpectedly, when I woke up the next morning, the doll actually appeared in my bed. I jumped for joy, and laughter filled the room.
Mom is really amazing, she always takes care of me with her heart and pays silently.
decision
The dream of that night touched me from the depths of my heart. I realized that the original intention of studying hard was to give me a better life, and the purpose of my parents' selfless dedication was to make me their proud daughter. And now, I have the ability to repay them.
It was around this time that I received a call from my sister. She told me that she was pregnant and that her due date was about two months away. When I heard the news, my heart was filled with joy and happiness. As an older sister, I feel my responsibility to take care of my sister and my soon-to-be-born nephew. So, I decided to visit my sister in person while she was in confinement.
Ouch
However, decisions are not always easy to execute. Because the 3,000 yuan I give to my parents every month has become an important source of income for them. Although my parents' salary is not much, with my filial piety, their life burden is much easier. But if I stop giving them filial money, it will make their lives difficult.
After thinking about it, I decided to be honest with my parents first and explain my decision and thoughts to them. I told them that it was time for me to do my part to take care of my sister and nephew, and that I couldn't let it go. And, I'm sure, they will understand me too.
Be determined
My parents were a little surprised when I asked me to stop paying for filial piety, they didn't expect me to do it. However, after I explained my thoughts and decisions in detail, they looked at each other and nodded with a smile.
"Xiaofang, you are really a sensible child. We understand your choice, and we can see that you have grown up. We will support you in taking care of your sister and nephew, you don't have to worry about us. "
When I heard my parents' answers, I felt a lot lighter in my heart. I know that this is their support and understanding of me. As a daughter, I feel truly gratified.
The value of life
On the day of my sister's confinement, I arrived at her house one day early. Looking at her yellow face and tired eyes, I held her hand in distress.
"Sister, thank you for coming with me. I know that you stopped giving my parents every month for me, and it makes me feel very uncomfortable. "
I smiled and patted her hand gently.
"Silly girl, you are my own sister, of course I am willing to do this for you. We are a family and it is only right to help each other. I said with emotion.
In the following month, I took care of my sister wholeheartedly, cooking, laundry, and coaxing the children. Every time I see my sister smiling happily, I feel that all the effort is worth it.
The warmth of home
After the confinement, I returned to my parents' house with my sister and nephew. They had already prepared a sumptuous dinner, and the dishes on the table were colorful. Seeing us back, their faces were filled with joy.
"The children are back! Sit down and eat!" said the father with a smile.
We sat around the table and enjoyed dinner as a family. I felt the warmth of home, the wordless care and mutual concern, which made me feel extremely happy.
In the journey of life, family affection is our most solid source of strength, which can give us courage, support and warmth. Although the 3,000 yuan filial piety fee is just a number, for me, it symbolizes love and gratitude to my parents. And this time I stopped the filial piety fee, which made me realize the infinite weight of family affection, and also made me understand that the company of my family is what I need most. In the years to come, I will continue to work hard to repay this loving and warm family with my love and care.
