I didn't like children because I was in a state of endless care since I was a child.
But when I grew up, I jumped out of the narrow perspective of taking care of children and losing the joy of childhood, and slowly moved by the innocence of children as I came into contact with the children around me.
Every day after dinner, my husband and I would walk around the streets of the village, watching the fireworks scattered everywhere, listening to the sound of firecrackers, and the faint sound of open-air movies in the neighboring village in the distance.
Children are playing around, and passers-by don't know what makes them excited and cheering, but there are many things that can make them happy anyway.
One night, we saw a group of children scatter their tiny cannons and place them neatly on the ground, and then set one of them on fire, and the others crackled.
Looking at their neatly arranged graphics one by one, I casually coquettishly told my husband: "I want to play too." ”
Unexpectedly, one of the little boys reached out and gave me a large handful of cannons in his hand.
Because I just married my husband in this village, and I am not often in my hometown, I don't know many people in the village, let alone children.
I was a little shocked to take the little boy's cannon, surprised by the generosity, selflessness, and innocence of the children now, and sighed at the simplicity of the people here.
Before I went home from vacation, my seven-year-old nephew and I called *** and told him that I had a few days to go back.
We chatted and talked about taking him to the park playground on May last year, and he brought two bucks, and I joked that he didn't bring enough money to buy a popsicle for each of the four of us.
I joked with him if I could save money for a barbecued sausage for each of us this year.
As a result, when I went home, I found that my nephew had made a small notebook with the number of days away from my home at that time, and he crossed it every day that passed. When the cross is finished, it's the day I go home.
He also took out his pocket money and prepared to treat us to grilled sausages when I took him out to play.
Listening to his mother, in order to save enough pocket money, he has begun to be diligent and thrifty, and he tried his best to ask his mother for the necessary expenses, and resolutely did not move his pocket money.
Although children have nothing to do every day, they can remember the random words of their relatives and do their best to fulfill the small wishes of adults.
I have shared before that the older generation of parents taught us: when we go to other people's homes, we can't ask for food from others, and we must learn to be polite and sensible.
Because I didn't understand the logic behind my parents' words at that time, I could only fully implement my parents' instructions, but the other party was very enthusiastic, so I felt very distressed about this back and forth pulling.
Once, my aunt brought me steamed buns to eat, because I pushed them so hard that the two of them almost knocked them off the ground.
One day with my mother**, the little niece walked in with food, and my mother asked her where she got the food, and she said that someone else gave it.
So my mother started that set of education again: Niuniu, if you go to someone else's house in the future, others will give you food, can we tell her that we don't want it?
The little niece replied innocently: I won't!
In my generation, the words of our parents were authority, and we couldn't talk back or resist.
After decades of development, people's trends of thought have become more and more active and progressive, parents are no longer absolute authorities, and children have the right to speak, more courageous, and more able to express themselves.
Of course, the main reason is that with the development of the economy, people's living standards are getting higher and higher, and the abundance of materials has made many false feelings tend to disappear, and people have begun to become more and more sincere, no longer pretending to be polite, and the material gifts between each other are no longer for face, but out of sincerity.
In this way, children can retain their nature and have a place for innocence to live.
