"The difference between yin and shine in life is not lucky and unlucky, but depends on one's heart."
In life, we will always face some difficulties, and how to face them often depends on our current state of mind.
In the novel "Heidi and Grandpa" by writer Johanna, it tells the story of how a girl uses her mentality to resolve the difficulties of life.
The heroine Heidi is a kind-hearted girl, but luck never favors her.
Heidi's parents died when she was a child, and she was soon abandoned by her relatives, and finally came to her grandfather, but was finally forced to separate.
Young Heidi was helpless, sad, and embarrassed in difficult situations again and again, but she never admitted defeat.
She chose to bear all the hardships alone, just to reap the happiness in her life.
When there is nothing to do, I was only attracted by Heidi's kindness and innocence, and after all the vicissitudes of life, I found that after reading this book:
The mentality of dealing with the difficulties of life is a subject that must be studied in each of our lives.
Indifference will always be melted by true feelings
Heidi, the protagonist of the novel, lost her parents when she was a child and has been taken care of by her aunt.
When she was 5 years old, her aunt got a new job in Frankfurt.
If she continues to take care of Heidi, she will not be able to go to work, and Heidi will become a big burden.
In order to get rid of this burden, my aunt racked her brains, and finally she had a flash of inspiration and thought of someone!
Perhaps, this person can help her solve her problem.
This man is Heidi's grandfather.
Grandpa is a man with an eccentric temper and a withdrawn personality, he is usually very cold and does not deal with anyone.
So when my aunt came to Grandpa's house with Heidi with all the trouble and begged him to take care of Heidi, she was shut up.
This strange old man, after knowing the intention of the two, actually waved the wooden stick in his hand, scolding and driving away.
Although she was turned away, in order to get rid of the big burden in front of her, my aunt did not give up at all.
When she saw that her grandfather did not open the door, she said to Heidi in a deceptive manner:
"As long as you keep waiting at the door and don't leave, grandpa will open the door for you."
After saying that, he slipped away without looking back.
Luckily, Heidi stumbled upon a sheepfold outside the house, and she rejoiced in it.
As she was too tired from the day's journey, she soon fell asleep with one of the lambs in her arms.
The next day, Grandpa went to the sheepfold to milk the sheep as usual, and when he saw Heidi, who had just woken up, he still looked indifferent.
But Heidi didn't mind, just smiled and said:
"Grandpa, good morning."
In fact, the cold-looking grandfather had been worried about Heidi last night, but he was just pretending to be indifferent.
That night, Heidi asked her grandfather if she would continue to sleep in the sheepfold.
At this time, the grandfather standing at the door of the house turned slightly sideways and said without a smile:
"Whatever you want."
These seemingly simple three words mean a lot to Heidi, because Grandpa didn't drive her away directly, but began to accept her!
One night, she saw her grandfather laying grass in the sheepfold alone, so she leaned over and asked him what he was doing.
Grandpa replied indifferently:
"I'm laying grass for the goats so they sleep on the haystack and it won't get cold."
When Heidi heard this, she excitedly helped her grandfather to spread out the piles of grass;
Actually, hay grows taller than Heidi, and she can't help much, but her behavior has touched grandpa a little.
When it was finished, Heidi said to the goats:
"Good night, little swan; Good night, Little Bear. ”
At this moment, the corners of the grandfather's mouth, who originally had an indifferent expression, began to rise slightly, and he couldn't help but look at Heidi in front of him kindly.
Every morning after that, Heidi would lead the goats up the mountain to graze.
Until one day, when Heidi came back from the shepherd, she found that there was a small chair in the home that had only one chair.
At this moment, she was ecstatic, because she understood that her grandfather had finally officially accepted herself.
Sincerity can shorten the distance between people; True love can melt a cold heart.
All relationships in this world are mutual, and how much true affection you deliver, how much warmth you will reap.
Crashes all start with pretending to be easy
As time passed, the grandfather and grandson got along more and more harmoniously, and the grandfather changed his indifferent attitude and took the initiative to send Heidi to a friend's house to play.
But the good times were short-lived.
One day, my aunt "visited" my grandfather's house again, breaking the peaceful life of my grandfather and grandson.
It turned out that my aunt had heard about Mr. Seysmann, a "rich man" in Frankfurt, and was looking for a scholar for her daughter with a foot disease.
For a moment, my aunt thought of Heidi!
Because the referrer can get a good payment, the aunt goes to her grandfather's house tirelessly to try to pick up Heidi, who she once regarded as a "hot potato".
After learning of his aunt's intention, his grandfather decisively rejected her.
Although she was rejected, her aunt was still unwilling.
She knew she couldn't convince her grandfather, so she went straight to Heidi.
Seeing the opportunity, she went to the place where Heidi was shepherding the sheep in advance, and when Heidi appeared, she came up and put her arms around Heidi and said:
"Heidi, Miss Clara in Frankfurt wants you to go to study with her, and grandpa wants you to study, and if you don't like it then, we can come back at any time."
Heidi believed her aunt's deception, and before she even had time to say hello to her grandfather, she was taken on a train to Frankfurt.
Heidi arrives at this "new home" in Frankfurt, and although everything around her is unfamiliar, the Clara family takes good care of her.
And she and Clara are very similar in temperament, and the two quickly get acquainted.
But even so, there is not a day that Heidi does not miss her grandfather, she wants to leave here and return to his grandfather.
When Clara learns Heidi's thoughts, she fears that her partner will leave, and she falls ill completely.
In this way, even though Heidi is unwilling, she has no choice but to stay here for the sake of Clara's body.
But the pain caused by this hung over Heidi's heart like a haze, so that she never smiled again:
When she goes out with Clara, Heidi acts as if nothing happened, but in fact, every grass and tree along the road can evoke her longing for her hometown;
When she accompanied Clara to study, Heidi seemed to be calm and breezy, but when she encountered the plot of life and death in the book, she would always reveal her true feelings and burst into tears;
Even at night, Heidi would bury her head deep in the pillow and cry, trying not to let others know about her grief.
It is said that time does not deceive, and this sentence has been verified in Heidi's body.
As Heidi's health deteriorated, she eventually developed sleepwalking.
Learning to let go is the source of a happy life
This more than a year of life has brought endless pain to Heidi and robbed her of her original brilliance.
Fortunately, Mr. Sesman was at the doctor's point and learned of the seriousness of the illness and immediately decided to send Heidi home.
Clara was saddened to learn of her father's decision.
She knew that she would soon lose a friend she had a tacit relationship with.
In a fit of rage, she locked herself in her room, ignoring Heidi's knock on the door.
Although ignored, Heidi was not upset in the slightest, and invited Mr. Seysman to take Clara to her grandfather's house on the high mountain to see her.
In this way, Heidi, escorted by the servants, finally returned to her hometown, which she had been thinking about day and night.
In this world, some heart knots are difficult to open, because heart disease requires heart medicine, and the bell must be tied to the bell.
Not long after returning home, Heidi's sleepwalking disorder was cured and she regained her former cheerful and lively personality.
She always had Clara in her mind, hoping that Clara could come to the mountains to visit her.
So, she began to write letters to Clara, telling her about the blue sky of the high mountains, the singing of birds, and the fragrance of flowers.
Under Heidi's "colorful" depiction, Clara could not resist the "temptation" and finally came to the picturesque mountain.
The most beautiful encounter in this world is the encounter between the wind and the wind chimes;
The joyful laughter of the two when they met continued to echo in the wide valley.
After learning that Clara would be here for a long time, Heidi excitedly asked her grandfather to get a lot of hay to make a "bed" for Clara in the attic.
The so-called "bed" is simply a thick layer of hay superimposed.
It's simple, but it's also cozy, and the attic is filled with the faint scent of hay.
When everything was ready, Grandpa carried Clara to the attic, and what he saw made Clara happy. She immediately lay down on the "bed" and felt the beauty around her.
Life is like this, while chewing life slowly, you also need to seep into the sun, freedom and a little fragrance of flowers.
High in the mountains, Clara lets go of the shackles of high society and lives freely like Heidi.
Every day when the sun rose, Grandpa would carry Clara up the hill on his back and let her shepherd the sheep with Heidi.
One day, while Clara was shepherding sheep, a butterfly suddenly flew in from a distance and kissed Clara's instep.
Clara unconsciously moved her toes, and then tried to reach for the butterfly.
At this time, something magical happened, and Clara miraculously stood up!
When Heidi saw it not far away, she immediately rushed over, holding Clara and encouraging her to move forward.
Nourished by love and freedom, Clara finally let go of the melancholy in her heart and took the "first step" of her happiness again.
At this time, she had long forgotten that she was suffering from a disease in her legs, and with Heidi's support, she slowly walked in the direction of the butterfly flying......

Tao Xingzhi once said:
After a heavy rain, there are two kinds of people:
One kind of person looks up at the sky and sees blue and beautiful;
One kind of person looks down at the ground and sees mud and despair.
Indeed, what kind of mentality a person has, then what kind of life he will have.
There are often unsatisfactory things in life, and in those moments of exhaustion, confusion and difficulty, you might as well read "Heidi and Grandpa".
Like Heidi, we need to resolve difficulties in an appropriate way, maintain inner peace, and open up a bright future for life.
People live for a lifetime, live in the mood, and fight for the mentality.
May we all maintain a safe mindset and strive to write well for the rest of our lives.
