On Saturday, Xiaoming's mother got up in the morning, cleaned up the whole grains, put down the rice cooker, plugged in the power supply and began to cook porridge. She turned around and went shopping with a basket on her shoulder, and brought back Xiao Ming's favorite steamed buns. Call Xiao Ming to get up and have breakfast when he gets home. Then he ordered his son to do his homework, and started cleaning, washing clothes and bask in the quilt himself.
Mom has been busy all morning, and she is exhausted from cooking. She puts the food on the table, fills a bowl of food for herself, and asks her son to come out for dinner. Xiao Ming opened the door and saw that his mother had already eaten. He asked, "Where is my meal?" "Your own sheng! In the rice cooker. " "Why should I fill it myself?" The mother looked at her son, said nothing, and continued to eat. "I won't eat!" Xiao Ming turned back to his room and slammed the door.
Mom raised her voice and shouted, "Middle school students can't even cook their own meals. It's a waste. Who cares if you like to eat or not?" Xiao Ming thought that his mother would make a good meal, and gently apologized to him and said, "Son, it's mother's fault. Come out for dinner!" Today, mom cooked your favorite steamed mandarin fish. Eat it hot, but it won't taste so good when it's cold. " Unexpectedly, my mother shouted like this, and the feelings of injustice, disappointment and hunger poured out together, and suddenly I was so angry that I shed tears. While sobbing, I packed my schoolbag, stuffed the money in the drawer into my trouser pocket, opened the door and ran away from home without looking back.
Xiaoming has been wandering around for a week, and his money has run out, and his clothes are dirty inside and out. Wandering in front of a small noodle restaurant at dusk, I only took more than one yuan on me and dared not walk into the store. The owner of the shop is an enthusiastic woman. Seeing the boy looking like a student visiting at the door in a dirty way, he came out and asked, "Are you hungry, little friend?" Xiao Ming nodded. "Come on in!" Xiao Ming bowed his head and rubbed his feet uneasily against the ground. "No money on me?" Xiaoming nodded again. "Never mind, I won't charge you." The proprietress smiled and turned to the kitchen inside and shouted, "A big bowl of sparerib noodles".
Xiaoming felt that he had never eaten such delicious sparerib noodles. After drinking the last drop of noodle soup, he stood up, walked to the cashier, bowed deeply to the proprietress and said thank you. The proprietress said, "Little friend, you ran away from home with your mother. I gave you a bowl of noodles, and you bowed and said thank you. Your mother cooked good food for you every day. You took it for granted and ran away from home when you were a little unhappy, right?" Children, go home quickly! Your mother is dying, and she has sent a lot of searching for you, which I have received in my store. "
Why don't children feel grateful to their parents? Because the whole family treats their children like little emperors and ancestors, and develops their selfish, willful and overbearing character. So how to cultivate their filial piety and sense of responsibility? The easiest thing to do is to start by sharing housework.
In Little Women Middle School, in order to make her four daughters share housework and take housework as their responsibility and obligation, the first step is to make them realize the boredom and emptiness of all play and no work. The second step is to make them feel the confusion and embarrassment after their mother's strike. So as to realize that as a family member, everyone should bear their share of responsibility.
Original:
No one wants to admit that they are tired of this experiment, but by Friday night, everyone breathed a sigh of relief secretly, and the week of snickering finally came to an end. Mrs. March, with a sense of humor, decided to end the experiment in an appropriate way in order to impress this lesson. She gave Hannah a day off to let the girls fully enjoy the taste of all play and no work.
When the sisters woke up on Saturday morning, they found that there was no fire in the kitchen, no breakfast in the dining room and no trace of their mother.
"ouch! What happened? " Cried Joe, staring around in amazement.
Meg ran upstairs and quickly turned back. Her expression was no longer tense, but she looked rather confused and somewhat ashamed.
"Mom is not sick, just very tired. She said that she would rest in her room for a day and let us take care of ourselves. It's strange, it's nothing like her usual behavior; But she said that she has worked very hard this week, so let's stop complaining and take care of ourselves. "
"that's not easy! This idea is just what I want. I'm worried about nothing to do-I mean, there's no new way to play, you know. " Joe quickly added.
In fact, at this moment, doing a little work is a good relaxation for them. They are determined to do their work well, but "housework is no joke", and they will soon realize the practical significance of Hannah's words.
"Are you satisfied with this experiment, girls? Do you want to try again for a week? " She asked. Then Beth snuggled up to her side, and the other three sisters turned their heads to her, their faces shining like flowers facing the sun.
"I don't want it!" Joe shouted firmly.
"neither do i." Others answered in chorus.
"So, what you mean is that it is better to take some responsibility and think of others, right?"
"It's no use fooling around," commented Joe, shaking his head. "I'm tired of it. I really want to do something now."
"Yes, I want you to understand that only when everyone is devoted to their duties can everyone live a comfortable life. When Hannah and I worked for you, you had a good life, but I don't think you were happy and ungrateful. So I want to give you a little lesson to see what will happen if everyone only thinks about themselves. Only by helping each other and undertaking daily work can life be more enjoyable and leisure be interesting. Tolerance and patience will make the family comfortable and happy. Do you agree? "
"yes, mom, we agree!" " The girls shouted in unison.
"Then I suggest you take up your small burdens again. Although sometimes the burden seems heavy, it is good for us. If we learn how to choose, the burden will become lighter. Work is a good thing, and each of us has a lot of work to do; It is good for physical and mental health, so that we won't feel bored and do bad things. Compared with money and fashion, it can give us a sense of ability and independence. "
Imitation:
On the evening of October 6th, the six-day idleness made the sisters bored to death. Thinking that the experiment was over, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and took back their mobile phones, ipad and laptops from their mothers. Mother looked at them in high spirits and said with a meaningful smile, "Tomorrow is the last day of the experiment. I hope you will have fun as always." Everyone has no intention of understanding the implication of mom's words, and can't wait to brush the drama, chat, play games and talk on the phone.
On the morning of the 7th, my sisters woke up and felt very quiet at home. Grandma and mom have disappeared, there is no breakfast in the rice cooker, there are unwashed bowls, chopsticks and pots in the pool, and there are fish, meat and vegetables just bought in the basket. Everyone is suddenly surprised.
"grandma, grandma!" Ernie hurriedly pushed open grandma's door, and no one was there. Pushing the west gate of the vegetable garden, no one; "Where's grandma?"
Dani knocked on her parents' door doubtfully, and soon came out with a melancholy expression. She said with a look of three points of shame, "Don't look for it. Grandma was picked up by her aunt as a guest. Mom was so tired that she decided to lie down in the room and let us take care of ourselves." Dani looked at the three sisters around her and said, "In the past six days, grandma and mom have done all the housework, and they are exhausted. Today, we can't let mom worry, but we should take good care of her. Do you agree?"
"ok! I'm going to wash clothes. " Erni blurted out.
"I'll mop the floor and wipe the table." Sanni, who loves beauty, immediately set to work.
"I'll do the dishes!" Xiao Ni said timidly that she put on her mother's sleeves, turned on the tap and began to wash the dishes in the sink.
Dani lights a gas cooker to boil water and prepares to cook noodles. Doing such housework seems to be a reward for boring life, which is exciting and interesting. Erni sprayed collar net on all necklines and cuffs, brushed them cheerfully, and then put them into the washing machine; Sanni wiped the table, chair and table clean first, and then swept the floor. Xiao Ni hummed a ditty and worked, putting the pots and pans in order one by one. When noodles were served, the four sisters cheered, as if this bowl of noodles was the best food in the world.
"Although mom said to leave her alone, we still have to bring a bowl of noodles to mom and make a pot of green tea and put it on the bedside table." Dani said.
Sanni said, "Let's fry a poached egg for mom as a topping, which will be more delicious."
Erni brought the egg noodles to her mother's bedside, and her mother accepted them happily and praised them for their ability. Although the noodles had been lumped into pimples, and the eggs were burnt outside but not solidified inside, she probably forgot to put oil and salt in them, and they tasted tasteless, but she still ate them with a smile.
The sisters mixed the noodles with chopsticks, and after eating them, they complained, "There is not a drop of soup in the noodle soup" and "There is no salty taste". "Elder sister, did you forget to put oil in it?" Dani ate silently, feeling that it was far from the taste cooked by her mother. Erni took two bites, put down the bowl and said, "Never mind, I'll cook and stir-fry at noon." "Can you do it?" "What's the difficulty? I'll Baidu it, just follow the cooking method, and you can just wait and eat!"
"You've never cooked before. Can you do it well by following books? Or go to consult my mother, don't be like a big sister. "Sanni looked at her suspiciously.
"Don't worry" Erni patted Sanni confidently on the shoulder and said, "I really won't, and there is elder sister, who will guide me."
"Don't count on me, neither will I." Dani shrugged and said.
after breakfast, the four sisters put all the vegetables on the table, cut the roots of the cabbage, remove the yellow leaves from the celery, tear off the ribs while breaking the stems, peel the lettuce and cut it into small slices, and soak the pork in cold water. Erni went to ask her mother, "Do as you like, don't ask me, call me when you are ready, and I will come out to have dinner with you."
The four sisters gathered around to discuss how to side dishes and cook. According to the recipe provided by Baidu, Xiao Ni found a carrot and a piece of ham from the refrigerator, and Da Ni cut them into shreds and matched them with lettuce, with lettuce and bamboo shoots, with celery and peanuts, and cut the pork belly into small pieces and simmered them in half a pot of water. Erni asked Sanni to be an assistant, turn on the gas stove, hot pot, put oil, serve vegetables, add water, add seasoning and plate. Two people yelling in the kitchen for more than an hour, finally get a table of food, served on the table, xiao ni excitedly to call mom for dinner.
Mom took a bite of rice, but the rice grains were not completely released and were half-cooked, but there was less water when cooking. Lettuce is badly cooked, peanuts in celery are not ripe, and hairy vegetables are too salty. It is estimated that salt is used as monosodium glutamate. Braised pork has become boiled meat, which is the only delicious food that can be eaten with soy sauce. Er Ni and San Ni, hot, tired and depressed, stood there watching their mother eat.
"is it delicious?" Erni asked in fear and trembling.
"Sit down and eat!" Mom smiled and said, "Not bad". Dani took a bite of the cabbage and spit it out quickly, saying, "Is the salt jar overturned?"
Erni pointed at lettuce with chopsticks and said, "How beautiful this dish is. Red silk, green slices and yellow bacon must be delicious."
Xiao Ni said, "I just ate it. It's not delicious."
Ernie put a chopstick in her mouth and ate it. "I'm afraid the bacon won't be cooked easily. I cooked it for a while. Although the slices are a little rotten, they are still edible."
Sanni said, "Let's put this dish of celery in the microwave for another two minutes!"
Erni blushed and said, "Is this dish not good either?" The three sisters looked at Ernie's awkward and funny expression and laughed together. They laughed until tears flowed out, and their mother laughed too.
Everyone ate white braised pork and rotten lettuce, talked and laughed, and happily finished this special lunch.
After cleaning up, my mother sat at the table and said to the four sisters, "Are you satisfied with this long vacation, I will let you have fun without working? What is your experience? Let's talk about it. "
"All play and no work makes people empty, bored, tired and demoralized, and makes people useless." Dani said.
"When one person does all the housework, that person is exhausted, others are idle, and everyone shares a little housework, which is relaxed and harmonious." Erni said quickly.
"Now I understand the idiom, how beautiful a person is, it's a waste for no one to appreciate it. Only mutual encouragement and cooperation can make him happy and wonderful." Sanni pulled her braids and arranged the ribbons.
"I like sisters singing and laughing together, and I don't want to face a doll without limbs and legs alone. I like my home to be neat and tidy, and I don't want to play around. " Xiao Ni snuggled up to her mother's shoulder in a coquetry way and said, "I like everyone together."
My mother patted Xiao Ni on the back and said, "I specially sent my grandmother to my aunt's house to let you know that only when everyone is loyal to their duties can everyone have a relaxed and happy life. When you do nothing, grandma and I will work hard, and you are ungrateful and take it for granted. So I made this experiment, so that you can realize that everyone is selfish and only thinks about what will happen if they have fun, and grandma and I are selfish and just want to be lazy, and the family will be in a mess. Only by helping each other and sharing housework can life be happy. Do you agree? "
"I agree, mom. From now on, we will learn to be grateful, love each other and take responsibility." The girls shouted in unison.
