Chapter 537: An Unforgettable Lesson(4400 words)(2/2)
On this day, Xinxin first went to school with her nine-year-old sister, and then gritted her teeth and walked home at noon.
But her lesson is not over.
In the afternoon, she followed the hostess down the floor with two little girls, put on long trousers and gloves, and pulled weeds along the fields.
Just like in the morning, she felt it was fresh at first, but later she was so tired that she was sweating profusely and weak.
Lin Zhishu was so heartbroken that he pulled Shen Chong over and said, "Is this a little too cruel? Xinxin won't get sick with fatigue, right?"
Shen Chong shook his head, "I'm watching. Have you noticed that Xinxin is stronger than we thought. To be honest, I didn't expect her to stick to it at the beginning, and I was ready to finish her work, but although Xinxin was very tired, she didn't complain anymore."
Lin Zhishu nodded worriedly, "Although I say that, I..."
"Don't worry, it's okay, I'll watch it. Do you know why Xinxin can persist?"
"Why?"
"Because she remembers that she promised us that she must not retreat in the last minute. Look, this is a very important lesson. We must let her understand that not everyone has everything at birth. Whether it is money or anything else, they must be fought for and created by themselves. We can raise her to adulthood, but we can't let her live in the ivory tower for the rest of her life, right?"
"Okay, I'll listen to you this time, but if something happens to me, I'll be fine with you."
"Wow, you look a bit like a mom, and I look a bit like a dad, otherwise I would have thought our roles were in tune."
"Go to you! You said I'm not feminine, right?"
"Wrong, wrong!"
Before I knew it, it was evening again, and it was still an extremely simple meal.
For dry rice, the hostess collected vegetarian fried loofah, vegetarian bitter gourd, and lettuce tips, and nothing else was gone.
Although Xinxin does not completely refuse bitter melon at home, she doesn’t like it very much. Today, she is so tired that she has few choices on the table. She picked up several chopsticks of bitter melon with her mouth.
She also ate much faster than usual at home, and no one needed to urge her.
After dinner, Shen Chong and the other two greeted the hostess, and then held Xinxin to face the sunset. It was really a stroll.
After a full meal, Xinxin's energy recovered a lot. She grabbed Shen Chong and Lin Zhishu's right and left hands and jumped and jumped, and from time to time, she directed Liang Zai to go to the front to pick up things.
After almost leaving, Shen Chong found a stone to sit down, hugged Xinxin in his arms, and asked, "Xinxin, what do you think of your aunt and sister today?"
Xinxin thought for a while, "The clothes of my sister and sister are not good-looking, and they are not comfortable to touch. They are also very thin."
"Then do you know why they don't have beautiful clothes?"
"Because... they don't have money?"
Xinxin asked.
Shen Chong nodded, "Yes, I don't have money."
Xinxin asked again, "Then why do they have no money? Is it because the aunt doesn't work hard?"
Shen Chong shook his head, "Auntie no longer can work hard. You see, my aunt limps when walking, there is no way. There are many people in this world who can't even work hard. Also, do you know that the food and vegetables we eat today are actually their portions of a week."
Xinxin was anxious, "When we go home, my aunt, sister, and mother-in-law will go hungry! Dad, can we give them money?"
Shen Chong smiled, "Of course we will give them money, and we will give them some clothes. However, we can give them money once, not for a lifetime."
Xinxin looked unhappy, "Why can't it? Is it because you don't have enough money for dad and mom?"
Both Shen Chong and Lin Zhishu were speechless.
OK, education seems to have gone wrong?
Shen Chong decided to say in depth, "This is not possible. In fact, there are many more people in the world like the aunt's family. There are so many people in the world. Can everyone take care of their parents?"
Xinxin fell into deep thoughts, but didn't ask any more questions.
After a long time, she drooped her head in a loss, "No, that would cost too much money. What should we do?"
Lin Zhishu interrupted from the side, "Xinxin, do you know why the younger brothers and sisters on TV who can't afford to eat no meat?"
Xinxin's face turned red, "I know, they don't have money, can't afford meat, or beautiful clothes."
Lin Zhishu touched her face, "So, mom and dad have to work hard. Because our company can provide jobs to many people, and they can get salary from their parents. But we cannot give money to everyone who can't afford to eat. What we should do more is to use our own hands to create jobs for others, and then others can work in the job and get salary to support themselves and their families."
Xinxin seems to understand but she always feels that her father and mother have told a lot of truths today, and her little head can't digest it for a while.
Shen Chong poked Lin Zhishu, "You are too deep. Let me ask, Xinxin, what kind of person do you want to be in the future?"
Xinxin began to think again, "I want to provide work to others like my parents! So that everyone can earn money and support the children in the family!"
"What should you do now?"
Xinxin jumped out of Shen Chong's arms, "Study hard! Eat hard! I don't want to compare who has beautiful clothes with others every day and who has more toys! I should compare who is smarter than others! I want to be as smart as my father and mother!"
"Why don't you compare clothes with others?"
Shen Chong asked as he took the opportunity.
Xinxin looked back and looked at the house in the distance with a little embarrassed, "Because I don't need to compare, I also know that there are many children who are not as good-looking as me, and they don't have braids, but they are still studying hard."
"Yes, Xinxin is awesome!"
Shen Chong gave Xinxin a thumbs up, then turned around and raised his eyebrows at Lin Zhishu.
That little expression seemed to be saying, "Look, my class this day will take care of you for how many years!"
Nowadays, many children in the city do not talk about luxury, but lack a correct understanding of the rich and poor in this world.
When these children grow up, they will make jokes like Xinxin’s “Why not eat meat” because of their neglect guidance when they were young.
This kind of child is prone to lack a sense of social responsibility when he grows up, and at the same time lacks correct self-awareness and is addicted to extravagant enjoyment.
The families of these children may be able to support them, or they may be considered barely well-off.
But they did not realize the extravagant mistakes, but instead repeatedly demanded their parents again and again because of comparison.
Shen Chong's attempt to cultivate Xinxin's cognition was not to say that Xinxin was a complete saint.
Let her understand the truth earlier. In her growth process, these truths will accompany her personal character development and become part of her core worldview.
Even if she enters adolescence, Shen Chong and Lin Zhishu choose to let her choose their own life, she will not deviate too much.
Strengthen your abilities and make your abilities afford your consumption concept, such as the current consumption concept of prodigal girls.
At the same time, as a descendant born in a wealthy family, he has mastered too many social resources at birth.
Whether it is Shenglin Group or Shen Chong’s current company, there is too much money.
Xinxin’s future life choices are likely to involve thousands of ordinary families.
