In Kaifeng, the capital of the ancient Song Dynasty, there is a bustling street, and the merchants on both sides of the street gather, and it is very lively. In the midst of the hustle and bustle of the city, there is a family whose owner is named Chen Dafang, who is a hard-working merchant who runs a cloth shop. Chen Dafang has a daughter named Chen Xiaoyu, who is beautiful and moving, smart and clever, and is deeply loved by her family and neighbors.
Chen Xiaoyu has helped the family with housework since she was a child, she is good at thinking and solving problems.

One day, when Chen Xiaoyu was wandering around her home, she saw a neighbor's sister-in-law worrying about housework. She took the initiative to inquire and learned that her sister-in-law was very tired because of her busy housework.
Chen Xiaoyu smiled and said to her sister-in-law: "Sister-in-law, housework is indeed a headache, but I think these are all self-inflicted." Only after experiencing it, will you have a deep understanding. Do you know? I think housework is like a cup of tea, when you first taste it, you may feel bitter, but when you taste it slowly, you will feel the sweetness. ”
The sister-in-law listened to Chen Xiaoyu's words, her eyes widened, and she asked suspiciously: "Xiaoyu, you are so young, how can you have such an understanding?" ”
Chen Xiaoyu replied with a smile: "Sister-in-law, in fact, I am also young, but I have been helping the family with housework since I was a child. Through continuous practice, I have come to understand that housework is not only a kind of fatigue, but also a kind of exercise. Through housework, I learned how to get along with people, how to organize time, and how to control the rhythm of life. These experiences have allowed me to grow and make me cherish my current life even more. ”
The sister-in-law listened to Chen Xiaoyu's words and was thoughtful. She said with emotion: "Xiaoyu, you are right. Housework is indeed a kind of exercise, I used to only think it was a burden, but I didn't expect that there was so much truth behind it. ”
Chen Xiaoyu continued: "Sister-in-law, in fact, everyone has their own housework, which is just a part of life. We can try to change our mindset and see chores as a joy in life. In addition to being busy, you might as well calm down and taste the ups and downs, maybe you will find that in these trivial affairs, there is hidden wisdom in life. ”
The sister-in-law smiled, she patted Chen Xiaoyu on the shoulder and said, "Xiaoyu, you are really a smart girl. Thank you for enlightening me on the true meaning of housework. ”
Chen Xiaoyu smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, no thanks." In fact, we are all learning in life, helping each other, and growing together. ”
Since then, the sister-in-law has changed her attitude towards housework, and she no longer feels tired, but finds it a pleasure. And Chen Xiaoyu has also been respected and loved by more people because of her empathy and intelligence.
