Father passed on his honest family style to us. "Faithfulness is passed down from generation to generation, and poetry and calligraphy are passed down from generation to generation." My father taught us to be honest and diligent in doing things. Parents are reluctant to spend money in daily life, but they are generous in buying books and pens. My father asked us to learn and practice calligraphy since childhood, especially copying the inscription of Tao Te Ching, so that we could practice calligraphy and be influenced by China's classics. After taking part in the work, I keep in mind the entrustment of my family. I have never been lazy at work, but I have been working hard. In order to realize the "four modernizations" of the motherland, I volunteered to work early with my friends, rolled up my sleeves and worked hard ... from entering the factory to retirement, I was rated as "advanced producer (worker)" every year. In my spare time, I write and draw, and help the factory to do propaganda work. At that time, there was no computer lettering, banners, logos and billboards were all handwritten, and they were often too busy to eat.
Although the mother's education level is not high, she works hard at home and is praised by her neighbors. The family motto she passed on to us is "cherish clothes and food." "Zhu Zi's Family Instructions" said: "A porridge and a meal are hard to come by; Half a silk and half a wisp, it is difficult to save material resources. " My family's rule is that leftovers are not allowed at ordinary times, and the rice at the bottom of the bowl must be eaten up. From this, I also formed the habit of thrift. I don't smoke or drink. Save what you can, and never waste it. A simple and frugal life is good.
A good family style is a family heirloom and should be handed down from generation to generation. Every time I eat, it's always so comforting to see my little grandson grab the rice dropped on the table with his tender little hand and send it to his mouth.
