There are many old people around us who have worked hard all their lives but live frugally in their old age. It is not that they do not have the ability to live an affluent life, it is that they come from a hard life and know that it is not easy to live nowadays, and they are more willing to leave their money to their children and grandchildren, which is a kind of spirit of selflessness and dedication. Grandpa worked in a factory all his life, and in his old age he coughed violently every day due to an occupational disease. Although he had a monthly salary, he still didn't want to spend it. After his monthly paycheck, he kept his wallet inside his small handkerchief in the closest place.
Buying a house at the time of marriage, the down payment difference of tens of thousands of dollars, I never thought to go and grandpa to ask for money, because I know that he puts a lot of weight on the money, until one day grandpa called me to his room, from his small handkerchief in the middle of the whole money in front of me when I have indescribable taste in my heart. To this day when I think of that scene, my heart is still full of sorrow, because now I want to fulfill my filial piety, the old man is no longer alive.
In China, there is an old saying that is very good, the tree wants to be quiet but the wind does not stop, the son wants to filial piety but the parents do not wait, so we should be in the parents of the old man alive to do a little bit of filial piety, which is also for the children of everyone's obligations. As parents or grandparents, they leave the best to us, and for our love is all selfless. Perhaps until the day we have children, we will be able to understand that the old man's frugality is all for the sake of their children to consider.
When I go home for Chinese New Year, I will never give my parents money again, because I know that if I give them more money, they will not spend it but save it for us. So now I choose to buy them all kinds of gifts, to do a son and daughter of filial piety, China is a state of etiquette, filial piety is also a virtue of inheritance.
