Your parents are still in the middle of nowhere, but you are showing off your poetry and the distance
PS: This article is very well written, I hope everyone can take a serious look at it
Some time ago, chatting with a friend, he accompanied a younger brother on a trip in Hokkaido.
I asked him if he was having fun. He told me that he and his brother were not all the way, so the journey was not very pleasant.
He told me in detail that my brother was pestering his parents to go to Japan to play, and his mother was not at ease, so he invited my friend to follow my brother over.
His younger brother is not from a wealthy family, and he has just entered college and has no ability to make money on his own, but he has the ability to spend money. Let's take a small thing, the price in Japan is very expensive, and a piece of cantaloupe costs about 30 yuan.
A friend asked me, "Can you agree that you can't make money yet, your family is not very rich, you don't blink just because you're thirsty, you don't want to buy water, but you eat three slices of cantaloupe in one go?"
This kid reminds me of a very impressive sentence: your parents are still in trouble, but you are showing off poetry and distance.
There are a lot of people like this around me.
Another friend of mine has a very average family condition, but he lives a very "high-class" life.
She thinks that the lunch box in the unit is unpalatable, so she goes out to the restaurant at noon every day, and she must order a cup of milk tea for more than ten yuan in the afternoon. When I go out shopping with her, she always pulls me to eat at popular and expensive restaurants. Traveling with her, she has always bought and bought all kinds of food and souvenirs with inflated prices in the scenic spot, and spent money like running water. The stinky tofu wasn't delicious, she tasted a piece, spit it out, frowned in disgust, and threw it away.
I didn't dare to persuade her to spend money and not to be too lavish. Every time she tried to persuade her, she squinted unconvinced, brought out two of her famous sayings, and opened up confidently.
The first sentence is "Girls, you must be rich", and the second sentence is "When you come out to play, you must be happy, and don't care too much about money." "It seems that if I persuade her to be modest, it will seem that I am too stingy and stingy.
I thought she must have a good family, until I went to her house one time. She lived in a house on the outskirts of the city, old, damp, narrow and small, and had to climb up a very steep staircase from the first floor to the second floor.
Her grandmother sat at home picking up vegetables in her high school uniform jacket. She asked her grandmother why she didn't go to play cards, and the old man said: I lost dozens of dollars in the past two days, and I am not happy to go today.
I borrowed their bathroom, and my grandmother didn't forget to tell me to use the water in the bucket to wash the mop, don't press the button, the water will be flushed, and it will be a waste of money.
It is such a thrifty old man who gives all the savings he has saved by selling vegetables to his granddaughter and lets her squander it.
Having dinner with her parents at noon, her father said that he didn't expect her to make money to support the family, and the little salary she earned would be good for herself to eat and wear.
Later, the friend asked me to go on a trip with me on vacation, and mentioned to me that it was very cold to commute to work in winter, and she was going to buy a car, and her family agreed to buy it for her. When I heard this, I could only laugh and not know what to respond to.
There's a joke that says, "I see money like dung, and my parents see me like a septic tank." ”
Many people in my generation are like that.
Some time ago, there was a discussion on the Internet about whether children should be poor or rich, and those who advocate rich people asked: Boys should be poor?
I also want to ask those children who spend their parents' hard-earned money extravagantly: How much do your parents owe you?
I know a boy who owes all his expenses from college to work. The money spent on occasional travel is also earned by working part-time. After working, he took money from his monthly salary to repay his parents. When the child becomes an adult, the parents no longer have the obligation to support them, and there is no need to discuss the topic of poor and rich support. But the reality is that many people get married and let their parents take on mortgages.
If you, like me, come from an ordinary family, then you should know very well that every penny your parents earn is not easy.
When your parents are sweating profusely in the scorching sun, when your parents are doing mental work in a small cubicle, you don't really feel a little guilty about consuming a day's salary with a big meal?
When your parents are yelled at by your leaders, when your parents are called by customers, you are calling friends and spending your days in style, don't you really feel unbearable?
When you use iPhone, iPad, and Mac to arm yourself, your parents have to think about buying a 10 yuan and 100M data package for a long time, and finally they are not willing to buy it;
When you are wearing a brand that you can name, a pair of shoes costs thousands of yuan, but your parents are wearing old shoes that have been eliminated by you, they don't understand the brand you said, and you laugh at them for being outdated;
When you feel that your knowledge, literacy, and vision are far beyond your parents, so you dislike your parents for "not seeing the world", have you ever thought that in fact, it is your parents who hold you to a higher place, so that you have the opportunity to see a bigger world?
You live a youthful and invincible life, you live a glamorous life, but you can't see behind you, silently supporting your parents, in order to let you live a better life, you are still whispering to the world.
Don't think of your parents when you're short of money, they're not ATMs, they have warmth in their chests, and there's emotion in their heartbeats.
- Mom and Dad love us, it's not easy to love.
