Lu Mo and the others won't be back for the night because the three kids haven't had enough fun. They played on all sorts of amusement rides during the day, and they were all very exciting, like roller coasters and Ferris wheels. They're still not tired at night and are clamoring to see a show. Since we've come out to play with the kids, we should let them have a great time.
The two fathers called to report that, unlike their children who were full of energy, Xiao Hu's father was so tired that he could barely hold his phone. He complained to his wife, "I never knew our Xiao Hu was so brave. I was dizzy just looking at that Ferris wheel from below, but Xiao Hu was sitting on it and making hand gestures for photos. Luckily, President Lu came with us. With him there, I wouldn't have dared to go up..."
"My goodness, I'm exhausted! My back is killing me after running around all day. How come these kids aren't tired? They're going to see a show tonight, supposedly with Donald Duck and Mickey Mouse. What's so interesting about that…"
Xiao Hu's father held his phone and complained for a while. He used to think that taking care of children was easy, just coaxing them. His mother had six children, each born only a year or two apart, and she raised them all single-handedly. All six siblings are in great health and are living a good life now.
In the past, when Xiaohu's mother complained to him about being tired, he thought his wife was being dramatic. His mother raised six siblings, raised chickens and ducks, grew vegetables, and did laundry. Before there was a washing machine, they had to wash clothes by hand by the river. She also had to sew and mend clothes for the whole family. In his memory, his mother never rested from morning till night and always had something to do.
When he woke up, his mother had already prepared breakfast, fed the chickens and ducks, and swept the yard clean. When he finally had some free time, he would go to visit neighbors and chat, always with a sewing basket in his hand, sewing shoe soles while chatting. All the shoes for the whole family were sewn by his mother, stitch by stitch.
While the siblings were asleep, their mother was still mending clothes under the dim oil lamp, squinting as she sewed with great care. She was always the first to get up and the last to go to sleep in the family; she had never been seen resting.
His father was the same; he was always busy. In order to ensure that his siblings could go to school and have enough to eat, he was either in the fields, in the mountains to collect herbs, or working for other people. His father was a bricklayer, and he was very skilled. People in the neighborhood would call him "Dad" when building houses. But being a bricklayer was hard work, and his father would save the best food for his siblings. As a result, they didn't get enough nutrition and looked much older than their peers.
They finally waited until their siblings grew up and became successful, hoping to let their parents enjoy a comfortable life. However, their parents' health also deteriorated. Although they didn't have any major illnesses, their condition just wouldn't improve. The doctor said it was because they had worked too hard when they were young, which damaged their vitality, and they needed to be recuperated slowly.
After he made money, he found many traditional Chinese medicine doctors for his parents, spending a lot of money and taking a lot of medicine, but his parents did not get better. His mother used to be able to cook for the whole family, but now she can't even make hand-pulled noodles. His parents always said that they were useless and told him not to waste money and to just live one day at a time.
But how can children neglect their parents? The six siblings have always worked together to be filial to their parents, each contributing money and effort. He contributes more when he has more money, and his wife has no objections. She always buys good food for his parents, so he rarely interferes with his wife spending money on her family. It's all about putting yourself in their shoes.
Xiao Hu's father suddenly thought of his childhood, and his eyes welled up with tears. He was exhausted after taking care of his son for only one day. He wondered how tiring it must have been for his mother to take care of six children. No wonder she was so worn out.
At that time, his wife had to take care of the child and start a business with him. She went through wind and rain without ever complaining. Sometimes he would say that his wife was being dramatic. Sigh, that's so wrong of him.
Little Tiger's mother listened to her husband's complaints and couldn't help but laugh. Little Tiger's father suddenly said, "Yueyun, you've worked hard all these years."
