Chapter 147 After reading "Grandma, I Love You"

I read this article "Grandma, I Love You" written by Comrade Huang Shiheng, and I felt that this novel was written very vividly and deeply.All the characters in this small family stood up in front of me! After looking at it, I think that the person here who is the least cute and doesn't understand the principles of life is Baozhu's mother.She "was a good student when she was in school", "is a national cadre", and "everyone in the bureau agrees that she is good".She is very concerned about her husband and children, she "supervises" the children's "study", and she "makes all the clothes for her husband".She also has a cheerful personality, "talking and laughing with everyone I meet".However, Baozhu, her daughter who loved grandma the most, said, "But as soon as she told grandma to do something", her face became gloomy.She "never had a good face or a good voice" towards her mother-in-law.When she went out to the garden with her husband and children, she told the old lady to say, "Today we take the children out all day, you wash this pile of clothes and sheets. There are enough leftovers at noon for you to eat alone." etc.She treated her husband's mother like this, saying "you" and "ordering", which didn't even have the least courtesy!No wonder her daughter called her "disrespectful", "mean", and "ungrateful".It's a pity that there is no Baozhu's grandmother in this story. I wonder if she treats her mother like this?

Baozhu's father is not a lovely person either.If he loved his own mother like Baozhu loved his grandma, his wife would not be so "stubborn" and "mean".He never dared to say anything about his wife's "endless nagging" about his mother.His wife told his mother to live in a house without a stove in winter, but he didn't ask.No wonder Baozhu said: "Mom is too cruel, and Dad is too tolerant." Baozhu in the story is a very cute child.She loves her mother not only because she and her younger brother were brought up by her grandma, but she felt unfair and unconvinced when she saw her grandma "working all day long to take care of the whole family" and "working endlessly".

But she didn't dare to say it outright, so she and her younger brother—the little ancestor and the little god in the eyes of her mother—worked together to find ways to make grandma "live in the north house" and "eat chicken feet".When her mother wanted to take her out to the garden, she would rather stay behind, wash clothes with grandma, cook eggs for grandma and so on.They all draw her as an upright, flexible, and a little girl who knows how to "grate" best. The cutest and respectable thing is this old lady!She is "resigned" to everything, let her live in a cold room, she has no words.If she is not allowed to eat chicken legs, she will eat other things.She also persuaded her granddaughter Baozhu, who loves her, "Your mother is at work, and she still has to worry about you, which is enough for her to do." When Baozhu said unfairly, "My mother treated you like this, I will treat her like this in the future", she became anxious and said, "If you want to do this, I will go back to the countryside tomorrow." It can be seen that she still has a home in the countryside.She lived in the city just to take care of his son's family.She said: "I'm fine. I'm so happy when I see the size and beauty of the whole family." What a generous, selfless, and great motherhood!The mother of Orb, who hid behind the winter jasmine and wore a lavender turban to eavesdrop on their conversation, heard her mother-in-law speak from "a heart of gold"

How do you feel when you say something? ! I can see some old ladies from the window every day: carrying baskets, holding children, drying clothes and diapers, coming in and out from the surrounding buildings, very busy.These are some very important figures in families who are grandmas, grandmas, and dual-career families.Of course, an old man can live with his children, rely on each other, take care of each other, the old and the young are happy and comfortable. This is a very good tradition and habit in China, which is not common in foreign countries.But we also have a proverb in China, which is: "Every family has a difficult sutra." The author of "Grandma, I Love You" showed us the difficult sutra of Baozhu's family.Through a child's just and kind-hearted views, he reminds us that only a generation of parents who are civilized, well-educated, linking the previous and the next, can make a family of three generations living together live a harmonious and healthy life.

The family is the cell of society.If every family can live a "family size and harmony" life that respects the old and loves the young, then our society will be healthy and our country will be strong!June 8, 1983
