A short story of thrifty and frugal family style1

Everyone has four or five family mottos in their mind that their parents want you to keep in mind. I am no exception, now let you come to experience my family's family style with me!

One New Year's Day, my distant sister-in-law came to my house as a guest, and my father asked me to pick up my great-aunt, and asked me to politely greet my great-aunt, enthusiastically greet my great-aunt, and enthusiastically help my great-aunt carry her things. I invited my great aunt into the house, my sister-in-law sat down, I suddenly found that there was water on the table, I wanted to go to wipe the water, my mom immediately called me back and said, "You have to pay attention to one thing when wiping the water, don't wipe it in the direction of the guest, it's disrespectful to the guest, you have to wipe it in your own direction." I was still sick of my mom's nagging. The meal was ready, it was my favorite dumplings, I was going to eat it, my dad hurriedly stopped me and said, "Son, wait a minute, it's polite to wait for the guests when you eat." When my sister-in-law sat down to eat, she also praised me for being a good boy who understands things.

I remember another time, I made my own puppets at home, and doing the puppet thing was a big deal for me, a clumsy boy. Doing puppets both time-consuming and laborious, do half of my angry puppets thrown to the side, sitting on the edge of the sulking. This is my father came over and said to me in a serious manner, "Son, this is only a very small setback in life, when we encounter difficulties and setbacks, we should have the spirit of not giving up, perseverance, and even more difficult to insist, only to succeed by perseverance." Listening to my father's words, I picked up the puppet again and patiently made a puppet. This puppet until now I have kept.

That's it, in the daily life, parents subtle influence me, educate me, encourage me. Education I how to behave, how to deal with people, should have what kind of spirit, so that I grow up healthy and happy. Now I also gradually understand why my parents want to educate me this way: because we are the hope of the motherland, the motherland also rely on our generation to build.

This is my family style, I believe your family style is also the same as mine!

Thrifty is a grass, saving is a flower. Being thrifty and frugal may seem trivial, but in fact it is the most important thing. Each of us should be responsible for it. Thrift and frugality were once our heirloom, and we can't afford to let them drift away from our children as our material life continues to improve.

As parents, we need to lead by example and influence the next generation. In my home bathroom put a bucket, everyone wash your face after the water are poured in this bucket, we use the collected water to flush the toilet, has been going on for several years. My daughter is influenced by us and always pours the water into the bucket every time she washes her face. Sometimes when she pours the water due to the angle of her standing position, she will come closer and bend down to pour the water for fear of spilling it outside of the bucket and wasting it.

Thrifty and frugal, low-carbon living. Sometimes we can also teach children some tips in life, such as home refrigerator odor, in the past I will go to the supermarket to buy special deodorant, not only spend a lot of money, and after the failure of the garbage will become. Now, I will work with my children to peel off the grapefruit peel washed and wiped dry, into the refrigerator, a few days later, open the refrigerator, the fragrance of the nose, the odor is gone, this is a natural environmentally friendly freshener Oh, compared to go to the supermarket to buy special deodorizers both affordable and environmentally friendly. Now my child has become an environmentally friendly little adult, every time you eat grapefruit will be anxious to peel down the grapefruit peel collection, used as deodorant, a year down can save a lot of it.

'Thrifty and frugal family' there is such a folk story:

Once upon a time, in the Central Plains of the `Fu Niu Mountain, lived a farmer called Wu Cheng, he was thrifty and frugal all his life, and the days were carefree and very beautiful.

Legend has it that before he died, he gave his two sons a plaque with the words "hardworking and thrifty" and warned them, "If you want to be free from hunger for the rest of your life, you must do it according to these two words." Later, when the two brothers divided the family, they sawed the tablet in half, the oldest one got the word "diligent" and the second one got the word "thrifty". The oldest put "diligence" word respectfully hung high at home, every day "work at sunrise and rest at sunset", year after year a good harvest. However, his wife is living a big life, the children will often eat the white bread two mouths and thrown away, over time, the family did not have a little food.

Since the second half of the plaque, the word "thrifty" as the "oracle" for the center, but the word "diligent" to the clouds.

He was negligent in farming and refused to work hard, so he did not harvest much food every year.

This is the first time that I've seen the world's most popular movie, and I've seen the world's most popular TV show.

This year, there was a severe drought, and the oldest and second oldest homes were already empty. They tore down the plaque in a hurry, and trampled the words "diligence" and "thrift" on the ground. At this time, a note suddenly flew into the house from the window, the two brothers quickly picked up - read, it reads: "only diligence is not thrifty, is like serving a bottomless bowl, never full!" "Frugality without diligence is like sitting on a bowl with no bottom, which is never full!" Brothers suddenly realized, "diligence" "thrift" two words can not be separated, complementary, indispensable. After learning a lesson, they will be "hard work and thrift" four words posted on the door of their own, to remind themselves, caution their wives and children, physically, and since then the days have been better than one day at a time.

Through this story, we know the importance of the word ''hardworking and thrifty''. My mother often warned us: ''Men are the ones who carry the firewood and women are the ones who bundle the firewood.'' This proverb also illustrates the importance of 'hard work and thrift'. Men should work hard and women should not forget their roots. Knowing how to save can not be wasted, can not be generous, or women everything from simple very frugal, but the man is lazy to act, not hand hard, eye hard, foot hard, as usual, there is no happy days. These two words are closely linked. Living in a family, husband and wife are first and foremost in harmony. 'Family and all things prosper' with a harmonious family, coupled with hard work and thrift, this is undoubtedly the icing on the cake. This is the case for us in life. Our family rules: lights go out when people leave, fans stop when people leave, water stops when people leave, and water is used more than once. I often advocate that the children do not easily waste food, eat how much to eat, leftovers to the next time to eat, turn off the lights, turn off the faucet, after the use of water can also be wiped on the floor, flushing the toilet and so on. This year down the utility bill is not much, and usually with the paper, I will not have used the reverse side of the nail together, so that the children to practice the problem arithmetic. Such words and teachings are silent influence on each child, they will learn from our way, do not waste food, water, electricity, paper ...... These are very small, but the accumulation of less into more, sand into a tower, which is also our contribution to society in a small way.
