? On the way to take Huihui to interest classes, he always passes by a shopping mall, Nanshan Ode to Joy. I often have dinner there. The dining area is on the second or third floor, and there are always gadgets made of maltose for sale on the first floor, such as monkeys, roosters, or Peppa Pig.
? Huihui is very greedy and likes sweets, but I have never bought her this one. Because I think eating too much sugar is not good, and her teeth are not good either. I am very firm on this point. Because of my determination, she never bargained for the original price, even though she really wanted to eat it.
Tonight we finished our meal at Ode to Joy. When we went home, we passed by the candy store on the first floor. An uncle was making Peppa Pig out of maltose. Huihui told me, Mom, I wanted to watch it for a while without eating, so I watched it with her. There were many children at the scene, all chirping at their parents asking for them. A child said: Mom, I want to eat this, buy it for me. Her mother said: This is not for eating, but for playing. The child then said, "You can buy it for me to play with." Her mother said not to play with it. Let's go over there and play. But the children didn't see enough and refused to leave. At this time, her mother saw Huihui and compared Huihui to her own child as someone else's child. Her mother said to her, look at this sister, she doesn’t even eat. The child asked Huihui: Sister, why don’t you eat this?
As soon as the child said this, I thought: This is trouble. With so many children wanting to eat, Huihui had no reason to ask for it from me. Moreover, her sister asked her if she would feel aggrieved and tell her that her mother wouldn't let her eat it. I began to search for ideas in my mind, how to deal with it next time. In my heart, I didn’t want her to eat this, and the source of that candy was unknown. I check the ingredients of the biscuits, bread and yogurt I usually buy for her carefully to make sure they are free of food additives.
? However, Huihui’s answer next surprised and moved me. I really judge the heart of a gentleman with the heart of a villain. Huihui said to her sister very friendly and calmly: My mother won't let me eat. With such a simple sentence, I felt her submission to me as a mother. There was no grievance, envy or complaint in her tone. After saying this, she continued to watch her uncle make Peppa Pig. My mood is really exciting. The child has not been influenced by others, but can remember his mother's words, not envious, not sad, and can keep to himself calmly. I think it's also because the rules I usually set are quite clear. I eat more healthy food, no or less junk food, and I firmly implement the rules I have set.
? However, at this time, I was still deeply moved by the child. I want to give her a reward in a timely manner, reward her for being sensible, reward her for not being moved by sweets, reward her for having her own ideas and not being affected by the environment. When my uncle finished making Peppa Pig, I hugged her and told her that children who obey their parents and understand the rules deserve to be rewarded. Mom will reward you with Peppa Pig Malt Candy, and I hope you will remember why you got it today. This sugar. Not because you want to eat, but because you have always obeyed your mother and believed in her love. Later, I explained to her that it’s okay to eat maltose occasionally, but we don’t know whether it is real maltose, so we should try to eat it less or not at all. Huihui nodded understandingly.
? The reason why I recorded this touching fragment in words today is to leave a memory for Huihui, so that when she grows up and can read words by herself, she can visit her mother. Through the article, I can understand my mother better, and see more beauty in myself. I will be more confident on the way forward, and my heart will be filled with more love and strength!
