Chapter 438 (2/2)
”In fact, love is passed on to each other. You get it from your parents and continue to pass it on to your next generation. No generation suffers. People who always hold that they will get back what they pay for are completely selfish. Sometimes, to teach parents to take responsibility for their life and to teach them spiritual independence is the biggest reward for them. On the contrary, it will make their later life healthier and happier. Children can't be used to it, so can parents. ” Fang Tianxing said to the old man's children.
Fang Tianxing knew that it was not easy to reverse their ideas. After living in a world full of shackles for a long time, even their souls were bound and could not be freed.
Soon, he took his mother to the hospital for treatment. The doctor told his mother that the lumbar muscle strain was caused by overwork. In fact, it could be cured. After taking the medicine prescribed by the doctor, Fang Tianxing took his mother home.
When her mother came home, she still wanted to cook hot food for Fang Tianxing. Fang Tianxing stopped her and said to her, ”Mom, you need to have more rest. I'll do the housework during this period. You can rest assured.”
Fang Tianxing helps his mother mop the floor, wash clothes, boil water and cook. There are a lot of odd chores. Although they are not serious, they will consume a lot of energy.
Fang Tianxing also felt his mother's hard work. He decided to surprise his mother. He bought a whole set of intelligent devices for doing housework from what he earned during this period.
Robot sweeper, dishwasher, automatic washing machine, he has just entered the shelf level, earning little money, mostly school subsidies, full attendance awards and state subsidies, in order to buy these things, Fang Tianxing spent all he had, but he thought it was worth it.
When these things arrived, his mother was also surprised. He blamed Fang Tianxing for spending money on them.
Fang Tianxing said to her, ”if you buy everything, you can't refund it. Just make do with it.”
With that, Fang Tianxing unpacked these things, set them up for her mother, and took her to be familiar with them. Her mother also understood that Fang Tianxing bought these for her to do housework more easily.
She knows that Fang Tianxing is an Internet writer. She can't stay at home. She has to keep accumulating outside to improve. Although she missed her son very much and wanted to spend more time with him, she couldn't drag him down. She gave Fang Tianxing a stack of what she had saved and said to him, ”good man, you are ambitious. You should practice well outside. Don't suffer yourself. You are my mother's heart and soul. You should take good care of yourself.”
Fang Tianxing is very moved. Children are born to love their parents, not only because of their upbringing, but because no one can hate a person who loves them all.
As long as the parents don't trample on this love, it is impossible for children not to love their parents. If children don't love their parents, it's better not to rush to kidnap them with filial piety, but to reflect on what they have done.
If children really love their parents, they need the external constraint of filial piety? If he does not love, just out of filial piety to do things, not hypocrisy, what is it?
In fact, that kind of superficial filial piety has no love at all, it's just a repressed behavior. The law of nature is that when children are mature, they have to separate from their parents psychologically, release themselves and start their own life.
To develop your life doesn't mean you don't love your parents. Love is equal, and adults are responsible for themselves. Fang Tianxing hopes that they will have a good life and believes that they have the ability to do well. Respect their own way of life.
