Hard-working folk stories
There is a folk story: a long time ago, at the foot of Funiu Mountain in the Central Plains, there lived a farmer named Wu Cheng. He lives a hard life, a carefree and very happy life.
Legend has it that before he died, he set up a horizontal plaque for his two sons, which read "thrift" and warned them: "If you want to be free from hunger all your life, you must be like these two families." Later, the two brothers separated and saw the plaque in half. The eldest brother got the word "thrift" and the second got the word "frugality".
The boss respectfully hangs the word "diligence" at home, "work at sunrise and rest at sunset" every day, and harvest every year. However, his wife lives in luxury, and children often eat two bites of white steamed bread and throw it away. Over time, there is no surplus grain at home.
Since he gave the second half a plaque, he also took the word "frugality" as nave's "Oracle", but forgot the word "thrift". He neglected farming and refused to intensively cultivate, so he didn't get much food every year. Although a family scrimps, it is difficult to last. This year's drought, the home of the eldest brother and the second child has been empty.
In desperation, they tore off the plaque and put the word "diligence and thrift" on the ground. At this time, suddenly a piece of paper flew into the house from the window, and the two brothers quickly picked it up-look, it said: "Diligence is like carrying a bottomless bowl, but always full of dissatisfaction!" "If you are frugal and don't work hard, you must be poor and hungry!" The two brothers suddenly realized that the words "diligence and thrift" cannot be separated, complement each other and are indispensable. After learning the lesson, they posted the words "Diligent Housekeeping" on the door to remind themselves, warn their wives and children and live on their own. Life has been getting better and better since then.
