At noon in summer, the sun shines like golden silk in the courtyard of Ah Xing's house, and the fragrance of roses mixes with the freshness of the earth, gently swaying in the breeze. Ah Xing sat at a stone table in the shade of a tree, holding a magazine in his hand, but his eyes inadvertently glanced at the title of an article in the magazine - "What level of monthly household income in China have you reached?"
Ah Xing's heart moved, put down the magazine in his hand, and began to silently calculate his family's monthly income in his heart. He remembered his father's monthly payroll, his mother's occasional part-time job, and the occasional writing fee he earned. Although it is not rich and expensive, life is also stable.
"Ah Xing, what are you thinking?" his mother's voice interrupted his thoughts, and she walked over with a plate of cut watermelons and placed them on the stone table.
"Mom, read this article, talking about the monthly income level of Chinese families, I wonder which level our family belongs to?" Ah Xing asked, pointing to the article in the magazine.
My mother put down the plate, picked up the magazine and looked at it, then smiled and said, "In an ordinary family like ours, it's probably a little bit lower than average." But it doesn't matter, it's enough for us to live happily. ”
Ah Xing nodded, and shook his head again: "Mom, you're right. But I don't think a family's income class is the only measure of happiness. Although we are not the richest, we have a healthy body, a warm family, and love for each other, and these are the most important things. ”
After hearing this, her mother showed a relieved smile on her face: "Ah Xing, you have really grown up." Did you know that the monthly household income scale is only a reference, it does not fully reflect the real situation of a family. How can a family be happy if they have a high income but have a cold relationship with each other and lack communication and understanding?"
Ah Xing nodded thoughtfully, he remembered a news he had read, saying that a wealthy family had a quarrel over inheritance, and even went to court in the end. He couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion in his heart, it turned out that money does not bring true happiness.
"Mom, you're right. Happiness is not measured in money, but in love, companionship, understanding and tolerance. Ah Xing said with deep feelings.
The mother patted Ah Xing on the shoulder: "Ah Xing, it's good that you can understand this." Although we are not rich, we have each other's love and support, and this is the most precious treasure. So, no matter what income bracket we're in, we don't have to worry too much about it. The important thing is that we cherish the people in front of us and cherish this hard-won happiness. ”
Ah Xing looked at his mother's kind face, and a warm current surged in his heart. He understood the deep meaning of his mother's words, and also felt the warmth and strength that family brought to him. He decided to study and work harder to create more value for his family, and at the same time learn to be grateful and cherish.
In the days that followed, Ah Xing became more positive and hardworking. He no longer focuses too much on the family's income class, but focuses more on improving his own abilities and values. He strives to acquire a variety of knowledge and skills, actively participates in various practical activities and volunteer activities, and strives to become a person who contributes to society.
Time flies, and a year has passed in the blink of an eye. Ah Xing has achieved good results and progress through his own efforts. He not only achieved excellent results in his studies, but also won recognition and appreciation from his leaders and colleagues in his work. He profoundly realized that the happiness of the family and the growth of the individual are complementary to each other, and only by cherishing the family and working hard can we achieve true happiness and success.
When summer came again, Ah Xing sat in the courtyard and looked back at the past year, his heart full of emotion and gratitude. He understands that a family's income class is not the only measure of happiness, and true happiness lies in inner fulfillment and cherishing. He decided to continue to maintain this positive attitude and contribute to the future of his family, while also working hard for his own future.
