Some time ago, my mother was sick and hospitalized, and our brothers were very busy waiting for us, but I didn't expect that it was not our three brothers who paid the most, but her grandson.
I didn't expect that in today's more impetuous society, a young man in his early twenties would be waiting for his grandmother in the hospital day and night.
The thing is like this, my mother was sick and mentally unwell, and she was hospitalized urgently after a few days of infusion at home and did not recover, and the hospital was near my home in the city, so I took on the responsibility of taking care of my mother. My older siblings have their own businesses in their hometown, and they have been taking care of them for a while, so it's my turn.
My brother was afraid that I wouldn't be able to take care of me alone, so he called back my eldest nephew, who had just graduated and had not found a suitable job (this is the patient's grandson), to give me a hand to help. I don't think a child can do anything, and I don't expect him to know everything and be willing to do anything, but I ended up slapping myself in the face.
Hospitalized for 20 days, the eldest grandson was not absent for a day, and in the later stage, he took on the responsibility of taking care of his grandmother alone (because I also had to go to work to make money, and we discussed the hospitalization expenses with our brothers), which really made me look at this child with admiration.
In my cognition, the post-00s are rebellious, self-righteous and even selfish, especially a child who has not experienced social experience will not understand the importance of responsibility, but he understands the importance of filial piety, step by step learning how to take care of an old man, according to the patient in the next bed, he always stays by his grandmother's side every step of the way, shush the cold and ask for warmth, wipe his face and feed, pour and urine without a word of complaint.
I don't know what kind of language to use to express my feelings, anyway, I think this child will have a future in the future, no matter whether he has any great achievements, filial piety will surpass too many people.
Perhaps this is the importance of family style, parents teach by word and deed more than more words.
Watching my mother's body recover day by day, the hardships and heartache of seeing her suffer have been relieved, and I hope that my parents and in-laws can be healthy in the future.
I hope that the children of the future - my children and the children of my older brother and sister will be successful in the future.
I also hope that the mutual tolerance, mutual understanding, mutual love and mutual help between our siblings can be inherited forever.
Loving each other and being a family is brotherhood.
Filial piety comes first, and the way of giving back to children can be sustainable.
