My parents were born in the 70s, a time when people had to fight for everything on their own. Almost penniless after marriage, they began their life journey, working together and saving for my brother and I despite their meager income.
For the past 20 years, my brother and I have lived a carefree life and have been fortunate enough to live in a large spacious house. All this is inseparable from the hard work and frugal attitude of parents. Not only do they accumulate wealth from scratch by their own efforts, but they also develop good Xi of saving and frugality.
First of all, they always insist on cooking at home. Unlike many young people nowadays, my father cooks every morning and evening. Not only is this hygienic, but it also saves a lot of money. They never order takeout, believing it to be a waste of money and unhealthy.
Second, they developed the Xi of turning off the lights and conserving water. When I got home, I always turned all the lights on Xi inertia, but I never realized it was a waste of electricity. However, my parents would always turn off the lights that they didn't need to save electricity.
They also use water for washing vegetables and rice to flush toilets, which are ways they save water. After I started living on my own, I slowly developed these Xi habits because I learned that these small initiatives can greatly save our resources.
In addition, they always only buy what they need when shopping in the supermarket. Nowadays, many people buy a lot of things when they go to the supermarket, many of which are unnecessary. However, my parents always did their shopping in a planned way, buying only what we really needed and never buying anything extra.
In the end, they always make ** comparisons. When buying vegetables, they go to different stalls in search of the freshest and most reasonable vegetables. I also use this method when I shop online now, comparing different products** and quality, which saves a lot of money.
In general, my parents started from scratch and through their hard work and frugality, we were able to live a comfortable life. Their achievements and Xi are worthy of our Xi and respect. We should cherish the life we have now, and at the same time, we should inherit their fine traditions.
