?Filial piety is priceless
The shop owner stood behind the counter, looking out the window boredly, but thinking about the recent business that has been sluggish.
A little girl walked in, her whole face pressed against the window, searching carefully. After a while, she stared at a sapphire necklace in trance.
"I want to buy it for my mother. Can you package it more beautifully?" she said.
The shopkeeper looked at the little girl with clear eyes in front of him suspiciously and asked, "How much money do you have?"
The little girl immediately took out a small bag from her pocket and carefully Opening it, she spread the money in the palm of her hand and said excitedly: "Can these be OK?" Without waiting for the shop owner's answer, she added: "Today is my mother's birthday. I want to give it to my mother as a gift. I haven't had it for a long time." I have seen my mother smile, and I believe she will like this necklace. She will definitely smile very beautifully, because the color of the necklace is just like her eyes."
The shop owner listened carefully and said, He took out the necklace, put it in a small exquisite box, wrapped it in a beautiful red wrapping paper, and tied a green ribbon on it. Then he said to the little girl: "Hold it well, be careful." After that, he patted the little girl on the head, smiled and watched the little girl go home full of joy and jumping up and down.
At the end of the day, a young mother came to the store. Although her clothes were simple but elegant, she had a pair of big blue eyes. She took out the opened gifts. The box was placed on the counter and asked: "Did you buy this necklace from here? How much did it cost?"
"The price of our products is a secret between the seller and the customer."
The mother said: "My daughter only has a few coins, but this sapphire necklace is genuine. She can never afford it."
The shop owner smiled, with a bright face, and gently He took the gift box from his mother, carefully rewrapped it, tied it with a ribbon, and handed it back to his mother.
My mother was stunned.
The shop owner said: "She gave a higher price than anyone else. Her filial piety is priceless, not to mention, she also gave everything she had saved."
"Thank you "The young mother finished speaking with tears in her eyes, and then smiled. A drop of tear shined in the corner of her eye, crystal clear like a sapphire.
Test question analysis: Since ancient times, China has said that "loyalty and filial piety cannot have both". For today's young people, it is not "loyalty" and "filial piety" that cannot have both. , but the inability to coordinate between parental affection and career pursuits. On the one hand, we must cherish every day with our parents and be filial to them, but on the other hand, we must not stop our steps. We are busy for study, work and career. Perhaps it is this kind of hard work and pursuit of ideals that constitutes the upward driving force of Chinese society. Therefore, the material can be conceived around filial piety, hard work, the relationship between career and family, etc.
