Let others know what rice you eat!


There should be no one who is naturally willing to admit to others that "our family is very poor"! Because everyone is very reluctant to let others look down!

My earliest study of the fact that "our family is very poor" is because I often go to my cousin Ason's home to play. His family has a lot of strange candy, toys, story books?? It should be said that it is faster: there is something in their family that we have almost no family.

"Mom, what is Ashon doing at their home?" I asked behind my mother, she was cooking.

"They are doing business! It's a big drink agent!"

"Mom!" I called her again. "Why do Ason have a lot of things in their homes, are we not at home?"

"Because we are poor!" said the mother, and then she began to stir up the dishes, completely unable to hear my voice.

That was the first time I used the word "poor".

One day my mother told me that my seventh birthday is coming, I can find my classmates to play at home, and everyone will help me with my birthday. I hesitated. In the school, I want to invite my classmates several times, and then swallow it again? If you ask your classmates to come home, you will find that our family is very poor!

I still have an appointment. Because I want to eat cake too much. Because I am worried that if I say to my mother, everyone said that they can't come, I may not have a cake. But even if everyone is here, will my mother buy a cake for me? I really want to ask, but I still forget it. But I couldn’t help but cry the day before my birthday??

"Mom, my friends who come to our house tomorrow are my good friends. Will they find that our family is very poor, then look down on me and don't be friends with me?" I was really worried.

"A Xiang! Do you know?" Mom suddenly put down the shovel and said to me seriously in Taiwanese. "If you don't let others look down, let others know what rice you eat!"

I said, let the family look at the rice we eat, that is, the food we eat, isn't it more interesting to find that we are poor?

"Yeah! Don't be afraid of people discovering it! If you are very open and let others know your true situation, you don't have to be guilty, don't cover it! Because poverty doesn't break the law! And as long as we keep working hard, the days will be It will get better and better!” Mom hugged me, I found that my mother’s eyes seemed wet. “Axiang, you have to remember! Don’t become inferior because you are poor at home, even lie to others, we are poor. Not bad! And hey! You have to remember your greatest wealth, that is, the love that Dad and his mother have for you."

The day that let others know what rice we eat, finally arrived.

We are very happy. There is a cake. I ate three big pieces. My classmate said: "Luo Zhixiang, your parents are really fun! They will be dressed as Superman to play with us. And how is your mother doing so delicious! It’s fried and sweet, and it’s good. Delicious vegetables and fruits, hey! It’s delicious! Can we go to your house next time?”

I said yes. But my parents are very busy, waiting for them to be free!

It seems that it is not just a birthday, my good day is also a day they are hard to forget. They all saw my house and saw that my family was very small, because when we ran to my parents, it was easy to hit the wall. They all know that my family is very poor! But that doesn't matter. Because I don't have to worry about it from now on, it is not a secret. And I know that if they don't care, and as long as some of them don't care, it proves that in this world, wealth is definitely not a criterion for judging whether a person has value. If you don't let others look down, let others know what rice you eat.

That is my frankness from now on. The reason why I have worked hard since then is the condition that I have chosen friends for many years. No matter whether he has money or not, as long as he is a good guy who works hard, please give me a chance to be your friend!
