01 My friend Xiao Zhang posted in Moments: At the age of 28, having a house, a car, a wife and children is enough!

And attach a photo of the real estate deed cover.

Xiao Zhang bought a golf car with full payment half a year ago. He just received the real estate certificate and it is said that the down payment was more than 400,000 yuan.

My wife is a full-time housewife, and my son has just turned one, so there is still plenty of money to spend.

On weekends, Xiao Zhang often takes his wife and son to play. Photos of eating and shopping often fill the screen in Moments. The captions are all about peaceful times and a stable world. I have never given him a like.

In fact, Xiao Zhang is just an office assistant in a design company, earning a monthly salary of 4,500, and his parents are ordinary working-class people.

Once, when I went to the vegetable market, I saw Xiao Zhang’s mother buying fish (Xiao Zhang had posted a photo of his mother on WeChat Moments) and said to the fish shop owner, “Can it be cheaper? You guys are about to close the market.” The fish shop owner was a little bit

Impatient: "It's only a few dollars cheaper because the market is about to close. It can't get any cheaper." Xiao Zhang's mother said helplessly: "Please pick the smallest fish for me!" The fish shop owner skillfully grabbed the fish and put it on the scale.

Said: "This fish is only six taels, is it enough?" Xiao Zhang's mother said quickly: "Enough, enough." Looking at the back of Xiao Zhang's mother leaving, I couldn't help but think of Xiao Zhang's post on Moments

delicious food and beautiful scenery.

Their food, clothing, housing, and the so-called peaceful years are all supported by their parents gritting their teeth.

02 Such people are everywhere around us.

Xiaoyue is a new intern and leads a "high-end" life.

Every day at meal time, she went to the company canteen to have a look. Only when she encountered more exquisite dishes did she want to take a few bites. While eating, she complained that it was difficult to swallow.

If you encounter a meal that doesn't suit your taste, turn around and leave.

Either order takeout from Meituan or go straight to a nearby restaurant, never caring about yourself.

With a monthly salary of 3,00, MK handbags worth more than 2,000 yuan, Dr. Martens shoes worth more than 1,000 yuan, and a bottle of Dior perfume worth 600 yuan were purchased without blinking an eye, and the money was spent like water.

Every time I tried to advise her not to be too lavish with money, she would always throw out some so-called philosophy of life and be confident.

"Don't force yourself to eat things that don't taste good, and don't strain your stomach." "Money is for spending. If money is not spent, it is equivalent to a piece of waste paper and has lost its own value." Every time I hear this

I couldn't deal with her nonsense.

I thought she must have a well-off family, until I went to her house one time.

Her parents lived in a private house in the suburbs. It looked to be decades old. There was a TV set and a set of wooden benches in the house, which had reached the age of "antique level".

The aunt said to Xiaoyue: "I have already paid you the rent of your house." Xiaoyue was not surprised at all and replied with one word "Oh"!

(Obviously the usual rent is also paid by the parents.) Xiaoyue’s mother was busy with her handicrafts and murmured to herself: “The typhoon that blew a few days ago wiped out all the vegetables that were about to be harvested. Your father

I was so distressed that I couldn’t sleep for several days. Farmers have to look to God for food.” Hearing Xiaoyue’s mother’s words, I couldn’t help but feel sad.

03 You and I, who come from ordinary families, clearly understand that every penny earned by our parents is hard-earned.

Behind our brilliance is their frugality and humility in life. They exchange their shabbyness for your brilliance.

When you use cosmetics that cost thousands of dollars a bottle, wear brand clothes that you can tell, and hold the latest iPhone in your hand, you are fully armed.

But my parents were still haggling over the price of a few dollars, and they were red-faced.

Excuse me, can you really still show off poetry and distance?

They should be enjoying their old age in peace, working under the scorching sun above their heads, and being looked down upon for saving a few dollars, but you hold a cup of Star Papa every day, pretending to know how to live tastefully and live a chic life.

Are you really not intolerable?

You may say that these are all voluntary by the parents and there is no force.

Yes, Chinese-style parents can be called "the most tired parents in history", and they even voluntarily "get bitten".

They choose to silently support you and lift you up, giving you the opportunity to see further places and a larger world.

Parental love is not easy.

But when they saw the third aunt's son building a house for their parents, and the sixth aunt's daughter taking their parents to travel abroad, have you ever noticed their envious eyes? They could only lower their heads and smile bitterly.

After having children for decades, if they can be filial, who would want to be bitten?

A life of hard work!

04 Being filial to your parents does not mean that you need to have a house, a car or money. Filial piety can never be measured by money.
