3. Crying bamboo gives birth to bamboo shoots
One winter, Meng's mother suddenly fell ill for many days and didn't want to eat any food. One morning, she suddenly said to Meng Zong, "Son, it's strange. I really want to drink some bamboo shoot soup now!"
Meng Zong was very happy when he heard that his mother wanted some soup, because she had not eaten for several days and her health was getting weaker and weaker. However, he thought, it is winter, and bamboo will not sprout until spring. Where can I find bamboo shoots? "
Meng Zong thought about it and frowned. When Meng's mother saw it, she said, "Oh, I'm probably sick and confused. Forget it! "Meng Zong immediately said," Don't say that, Mom. "Meng Zong swore to heaven a long time ago that no matter what his mother wanted from him.
he can't even say "no"! Now he had to fulfill his promise, so he went on to say, "Mom, don't worry. I'll try to find some bamboo shoots to stew for you." ":But he thought in his heart, I agreed so easily, how can I do it?
In the last two days, the weather has been very cold, the cold wind has been howling, all the animals are hibernating, and there is still some time before the flowers and trees grow. How can I find the bamboo shoots? "
but mom wants to drink bamboo shoot soup, and he has to go out and look for bamboo shoots. So he carried a shovel and an axe, braved the snow and walked to the mountains. He struggled hard in the snow and walked for a long time before he reached a bamboo forest.
When he saw the snow spread all over the floor like a carpet, he was even more frightened. "my god! You can hardly see the green bamboo leaves. Where can you find new bamboo shoots? This is really impossible. God have pity on me! Mom is so ill.
If I can't find bamboo shoots stew for her to drink, and she dies because of it, then I will never feel at ease! " As soon as he thought that his mother was waiting for the soup of bamboo shoots in her hospital bed, he got up the courage and said to himself, "Why don't I try digging?"
I can dig inch by inch until I dig the tip of a bamboo shoot. " The soil was as hard as iron, and he dug it down with a shovel, until he was exhausted and still could not see any green bamboo shoots. Meng Zong couldn't dig up bamboo shoots.
Thinking about his mother in the hospital bed again, he couldn't help crying in the pit. The more he cried, the sadder he became, forgetting himself and everything nearby. He cried and cried like this for a long time. He was taken aback when he looked at the ground with tears in his eyes.
It turned out that the ice in front of him melted, and the ice around the bamboo root was covered with mud, and several green spires emerged from the mud! "ah! Bamboo shoots! Bamboo shoots! " Meng Zong thought: This is not a dream, is it? He quickly bent down to pull it out and pulled out one.
touched it. "Hey, isn't it really a living bamboo shoot tip? It's true. Oh, I know mom can live. I'm so happy! " He couldn't believe that the bamboo shoots had really grown. But is it a gift from heaven that the impossible bamboo shoots can germinate and grow so quickly? "
it must be!" Meng Zong kowtowed to heaven and said, "Oh! God, thank you for your kindness. " He dug up the bamboo shoots in the pit and hurried home to make bamboo shoot soup. Mother was surprised to see her son come back with bamboo shoots, and when she was happy, she seemed to have recovered half.

4. A warm pillow
There was a child named Huang Xiang whose mother died of illness when she was nine years old. He was brought up by his father. Since childhood, I saw that his father was reluctant to eat for his own growth, and he was reluctant to wear it and work hard for his own life every day. Huang Xiang was painful in his eyes.
So Huang Xiang always shares a lot of housework for her father, and never lets her father interfere in what she can do by herself. My father's health has always been poor. He always sweats in bed in summer and doesn't sleep warm at all in winter, which makes Huang Xiang anxious.
In order to let his father sleep well, Huang Xiang will take a cattail leaf fan to help him cool the sleeping mat before he goes to bed. Sometimes he gets up in the middle of the night and slaps his father. Huang Xiang understands that the cold in winter is the hardest.
It's especially hard for my father not to sleep warm, so he always warms his father's bed before letting him sleep in. What Huang Xiang did made his father cry. What a thoughtful child.
Huang Xiang knows that if he wants his father to live a better life, he must study hard. He is familiar with the classics and writes articles with extraordinary literary talent, which has been praised by people.
5. Lu Yishun's mother
A teenager who lived in Lu at that time was named Min Kui. He lived a cold and sad life since he was a child, and his childhood life was very lonely because he lost his mother and his loving mother. Father Min Gong later found him a stepmother, and his life was changed.
At first, the stepmother treated Min Min well, but after she gave birth to her own son, the situation gradually changed. She only cared for the flesh and blood she gave birth to, and she began to neglect Min Min, which was not pleasing to the eye everywhere. Father is better at home.
When my father left home for business, my mother was not warm to Min Min, so she not only asked him to take care of her younger brother, but also asked him to do all the dirty and tiring work at home. Children who have suffered a lot should be sensible early.
at the age of nine, he is not only willing to do all the dirty and hard work without complaining, but also able to accept beatings and scolding, repay evil with good, and always be polite when talking to people. Especially for my five-year-old brother.
Care about and be humble to your younger brother, and the two brothers are close to each other. This winter, when my father came back from a distant place to finish his business, the whole family was happy and reunited, and he was given a bowl of hot water, but he was cold.
My arms were shaking uncontrollably, and more than half of the water in the bowl was spilled. The mother glared at him and quickly told her little son to serve another bowl. In this case, my father saw it in his eyes, but he didn't like it in his heart. He scolded Min for not making progress and being worthless.
After dinner, my father took his two brothers and drove the carriage to pull the goods. Facing the cold wind all the way, my body shrank into a ball with cold. When my father saw that he was wearing a thick cotton-padded coat, he didn't feel angry, and scolded him: Look, my brother is wearing less than you, and he is not frozen like you.
See how you live like a frozen ghost. It's so worthless! When he said this, he took a whip at the expense of Min. When the younger brother saw it, he felt sorry for his brother and threw himself on him. After the second whip was beaten, Min's cotton-padded coat was broken.
Suddenly, some reed flowers appeared from the hole and spilled all over the car. When my father saw it, he was stunned. In a flash, he realized that the stepmother had been so cruel to her son that she was so angry that she shed tears.
when she got home after pulling the goods, she immediately wrote a letter of divorce to make her wife return to her mother's house quickly! The wife was so scared that she kowtowed like garlic. The angry Min Gong only said: Your heart is too cruel, which is absolutely unforgivable.
Seeing that the mother's head has been broken, Min Min and his younger brother hurriedly knelt down. At that time, women's status was very low. Once divorced by their husbands, their lives would be over, and there were not a few people who had no choice but to commit suicide.
Seeing that her husband refused to forgive herself, the wife felt desperate. At this moment, Min Min said, My son, please calm your father down and beg you to spare your mother this time. You can't live without your mother at home. A home without your mother is not like a home.
what's more, "the mother is in a single child, and the mother is cold in three children". If the father does not promise the child, he will never get up! After kowtowing to his younger brother, Min Gong was moved by his son's reasonable words and looked at his wife who almost fainted.
His heart softened, he sighed deeply and said, That's all, that's all, you all go down. The two sons quickly helped their mother up. At this moment, the mother, who woke up from a dream, cried bitterly with her two sons in her arms. She never thought that at this critical moment.
The eldest son actually saved her life. From then on, the mother who was influenced respected and loved her eldest son, treating him better than her own son everywhere, and the younger brother respected his brother even more. Since then, Min Gong's home has become a harmonious and happy family.
It's true that a hero is a teenager. A teenager Min Min has the virtue of speaking rationally, bearing the burden of humiliation and being able to strictly cultivate his own virtues, fully embodying his precious Buddhist nature and leaving a deep impression on people. No wonder he later became one of Confucius' proud disciples.
