Today I read an article titled "Don't Steal Parental Happiness." The article was simple, but I was still attracted.
Don't steal parental happiness. The author said that his mother always likes to buy cheap things, and every time he sees his mother buying these things, he will always be in a hurry to catch fire, criticizing his mother for being deceived again. Mother's originally happy face was instantly petrified.
Scenes like this happen a lot in my life. I remember that my mother once bought two pairs of autumn pants for 2 yuan at the vegetable market, one for my father and one for my mother. When his father said that he was squatting down when he went out to do things, he heard a stinging sound and his ass was cold, which frightened his father to run home quickly. The father said, "Thanks to the autumn pants, if this is the outer pants, then it will be enough, and my old face will not be put away." After listening to the laughter, I leaned forward and backward, turned around and asked my mother, "Next time do you dare to buy such a cheap thing?" The mother looked calm, "I'm wearing them too, these pants are of good quality, who knows what your dad wore." "If you buy a bargain and wear it yourself, I can't afford your blessing." My father said angrily, and after changing clothes, he threw the door out, leaving me and my mother laughing.
My mother loves fruit the most, and often chooses left and right in the wet market, who buys who is cheap. Once, she bought a large bag of pears for a few dollars and happily showed off to us. I happily took the bag and looked at it, it was full of wounded fruit, and all my appetite was scared away. "Can you please stop buying these rotten fruits in the future, this is not good for people to eat." Besides, you can't buy good fruit for a few dollars. The mother pouted, her face full of displeasure, "Love to eat or not to eat, anyway I eat." It's all fruit, so why waste that money? With that, she went into the kitchen breathingly and went to wash the fruit. The next day, the mother was sent to the hospital, acute gastroenteritis, ate a few pounds of pears at once, do not eat bad stomach is strange. Afterwards, I advised her to buy fruit and pick it well, don't hurt her body to save a few money, that is not cost-effective. But my mother said, I am sick because I am greedy, and this good fruit and rotten fruit are all fruits, and the rotten fruits are sweet.
At the end of the year, my mother was even more happy to buy. She bought a bunch of cabbage today, a bundle of green onions tomorrow, a bag of lotus heads the day after tomorrow, and a few pounds of cucumber tomatoes the day after tomorrow. The principle of her buying things is naturally what to buy cheaply, where to engage in activities and where to buy. As a last resort, our family has set aside a cabin to put all kinds of dishes, and it is really piled up. However, there are few people in the family, the amount of food is not large, there are not many relatives, and those small mountain-like dishes are like entering the cold palace. Mothers would always focus on cooked food in the first few days of the New Year, and meat was preferred, and those dishes could only be side dishes, and very few were on the table. When the fifth day of the first year is used, the ultra-low temperature has already frozen the cabbage, cucumbers, and radish bran. The mother had to pull and pull from a pile of rotten vegetables, pick out those with good physique and good looks, and use her skillful hands to turn them into delicious food. Every time my mother would chant, "It's a pity that these dishes are so much money." I knew I would buy less, which was really cheap and expensive. "In the coming year, my mother will still buy a bunch of vegetables. However, green onions and carrots are buried in walnut tree pits in the courtyard, and other dishes can be put into the refrigerator, and those that cannot be entered are placed in the heated house. However, during the New Year, the meat was still served on the table, and when the dishes came on, they were still damaged, and the mother continued to sigh in pain. Every year is like this, every year there is progress, but how similar is the fate of the annual dishes!
In the past, every time I would talk about my mother about these things, especially after my own housekeeper, I would tirelessly persuade my mother not to be greedy anymore. Her mother listened to it and ignored it, she would still buy shoes for more than ten yuan, and once she bought it, she would buy several pairs. The few hundred yuan of shoes I bought for her were set aside, saying that the shoes were not comfortable at all, and it was better than what she bought. She will still look for some clothes for dozens of yuan in the market, and show off to me in beautiful clothes, poor hundreds of yuan of clothes I bought are always beaten into the cold palace, she said it is not fashionable. She still follows the dozens of yuan tour group around, and every time she comes back, she will buy a bunch of unwanted things, but people are very happy.
Now that I think about it, I have always wanted to steal my mother's happiness, but fortunately my mother is determined. She was happy every day.
Filial piety and filial piety, obedient parents are filial piety. May the mother always be smooth and happy.
