My name is Li Dashan, I am 65 years old, and I am a retired worker. I have a son named Li Xiaofei, he is 30 years old, he works in a foreign company and earns a lot of money. I started to receive a pension this year, and I can get 6,000 yuan a month, plus the savings I saved before, my life is very nourishing.
A few days ago, I happily said to my son: "Son, do you know that Dad has received another 6,000 yuan pension this month!That's a lot for me, enough for me to eat, drink, and have fun with your mother, and it won't be a problem to live out my old age. ”
The son pursed his lips with a look of disdain: "Just 6,000 yuan?."That's enough for dinner. Life is so expensive now, and I have to spend tens of thousands of dollars alone, how can you spend this pension?”
When I heard this, my face turned red, and I thought silently: "I have saved all my life, I just want to sit back and relax after retirement, why is my son so ignorant!".I think my pension is too small!”
I went home depressed and told my wife what my son had said. My wife was even more angry when she heard this: "We have worked so hard all our lives, just to let him finish college, find a good job, and live a good life!."Now he is not only unthankful, but also says that our pension is too smallThis kid doesn't know what to do!”
I sighed, and I blamed myself a little: "Is it that we are too doting on him, and he has developed too high a level of life requirements?"It's not easy to earn so much money, and he doesn't know how much our generation has endured to get to where we are today. ”
The wife nodded: "Perhaps, we want to give him the best of everything, but we forgot to teach him contentment and gratitude." It seems that our generation is indeed lying flat and wrong and did not teach him well. ”
I said, "Alas, when the child is older, he leaves home, and we can't discipline him." Even if he doesn't understand it now, he will understand it in the future. ”
I rushed to the hospital and saw that my wife had been pushed into the emergency room, and the doctor and ** were nervously resuscitating her. I anxiously circled around, thinking to myself that my wife has always been in good health, how could she suddenly have a heart attack?Even if we are old, we want to live a few more years of leisure, and she can't be fine!
At this time, the son also ran over. But I was disappointed that he was not in a hurry at all, and there was no worry on his face. I couldn't help but ask him: "Your mother is in the hospital at this time, why don't you react at all?"”
The son said listlessly: "Anyway, the doctor is rescuing, isn't it?"I can't help again. She's in such good health, there shouldn't be any major problems. ”
I was angry: "Why are you so cold and ruthless?".Your mom is sick and only cares about herself!The son disagreed: "I have my own life, and I didn't make her sick." ”
At this time, the doctor came out with an ugly face. I hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Doctor, how is my wife?"Is the situation serious?The doctor said: "The situation is very critical, and I need to do bypass surgery immediately and replace two heart stents, which will cost at least 100,000 yuan." ”
I was stunned: "100,000?".We can't afford to pay for such an expensive operation. So I could only ask my son for help: "Son, you see that your mother's situation is so critical and she needs such an expensive operation, can you pay for it?"You're making so much money, isn't it?”
But the son said confidently, "What?."100,000 yuan?I'm only 30 years old, and my life is just getting on track, so why should I bear such an expense for you?I'm strapped for my own expenses!”
I was so angry that I grabbed him by the collar and said, "I have raised you for so many years, and now you see that your mother is in danger, and you refuse to even give out 100,000 yuan?"I'm not done with you!”
Just when we were arguing, the monitor in the ward suddenly rang out, and the doctors were all stoned, saying that my wife's condition was terrible, and she had to be operated on immediately
I was stunned: "You're changing too fast, aren't you?"I didn't have any sympathy just now, and now I'm making a mistake?The son couldn't stop crying: "I really know it's wrong!."The thought of losing my mom breaks my heart!You're so old, and I'm still so ignorant!My mother's illness made me wake up, and I'm not the same person I used to be!Watching my son finally wake up, the big stone in my heart also fell to the ground. My wife was quickly wheeled into the operating room, but fortunately everything went smoothly and the operation was very successful. After a few days of observation, my wife's condition gradually stabilized.
This incident made me see the greatness of my mother, or rather my parents. A son can become indifferent and ruthless because of some money;A mother can touch her son's heart because her life is in danger;A family can also regain family affection because of an accident.
So, we should not blame the son. Because the power of family affection and maternal love is far greater than we imagined. It can transcend interests, transcend material, and touch the most authentic nature of people. We just have to wait patiently, and one day, he will regain his goodness and return to the right path.
After this accident, my relationship with my wife seems to have increased to a new level. My son has also become a new person, often visiting us, greeting his wife's body, and often bringing supplements and nutritional products to his wife's body.
I often sit on a deck chair in the courtyard and think about this incident while drinking tea. It made me see the greatness of my family's emotions and made me understand that as a parent, I need to have a broad mind to tolerate my children. No matter what mistakes they make, we need to teach them carefully and patiently help them get back on track.
Human nature, who is not at fault?We, the elderly, have also made countless mistakes and regrets. Fortunately, life has given us the opportunity to atone for our sins, and this little kindness and forgiveness will be rewarded one day.
Now my wife and I are retired to our home and live a leisurely life. 6,000 yuan pension is indeed not much, but for both of us, it is enough. I often joke with my wife that although we were wrong at the beginning, mother's love redeemed all our mistakes. That's the secret of life.
