The source of the story is "Children and grandchildren have their own blessings, don't treat them like cattle and horses."

According to legend, during the Xuande period of the Ming Dynasty, there was a scholar named Luo in Quanzhou. Because of his poor family, he was repeatedly frustrated in the examination room, and finally had to stay away from his family and go to other places to be a teacher. Luo Xiucai has a wife and children. His wife is a good family. When he is away, he can only do housework with his wife who is not good at housework. Later, his son and wife managed the housework together.

A few years after leaving home, Luo Xiucai took a vacation and went home for the New Year. When he saw his seven-year-old son, he was very satisfied. He wants to test his partner and send him to school. Luo Xiucai pointed to the sky and gave him a "day" first. His son usually only knows how to do housework, but he can't do it well at all. His mother pointed to the ground when she was in a hurry.

As a result, I accidentally pointed to the chicken shit on the ground, and my son got the message and gave it a "ground". Luo Xiucai was furious and asked sharply what his "father" had said right. His mother was afraid that her husband would be angry, so she pointed at herself and asked her son to be good to her. As a result, his son was right when he saw the milk. Luo Xiucai listened.

He finally gave up his stupid son. He hated himself for missing the imperial examination and was disheartened by his son. Finally, he became a monk. Luo Xiucai's sudden departure has dealt a great blow to this poor rural family. At first, his wife was very sad and spent all her time in Lacrimosa. Later, she gradually let go.

Be strong and resolutely shoulder the burden of the family. Besides working hard at spinning and weaving day and night, she also tried her best to teach her son and develop his intelligence. Although Lauren is young, she is very competitive. Every day, she goes up the mountain to graze cattle and chop wood. She always takes books with her and studies hard. When I grow up, I will be guided by a famous teacher and make faster progress.

At the age of twenty-five, I was admitted to the middle school (1 1 years later, I won the first place in high school, which is another story). In order to thank his mother, his son celebrated his mother's birthday after winning the first prize. Luo Xiucai, who had been away from home for eighteen years, was overjoyed and hurried back to China to visit. At that time, the janitor didn't know him, so he reported that a monk had come to beg for alms.

Lauren's mother generously ordered a thousand pence to donate to him. Who knows that the monk kept shaking his hand and said, "Amitabha, good, good!" " "The doorman went in and reported that Lauren's mother thought there were too few monks and ordered another bucket of rice for him. The monk still refused to accept it and asked to see the appearance of the new juren with his own eyes.

Just as the gatekeeper was in a dilemma, Luo came out of the hall, and the monk seized the opportunity to study him carefully. After Luo went in, the monk made another request: "I want to talk to Mrs. Luo face to face." The gatekeeper thinks that men and women are not close, and this monk is too ignorant.

I didn't think so much, so I ignored it. The monk had no choice but to ask for pen and ink and let him leave a message. The doorman barely satisfied him. The monk didn't care, so he wrote a poem on the wall: "I left my hometown in the eighteenth autumn and didn't accept a thousand dollars of rice;" Children and grandchildren have their own blessings, so don't be their cattle and horses. "

After the monk asked the question, he turned away safely and never looked back. Later, after Lauren and her mother learned the situation, they rushed to the gate. When they saw this poem, they were shocked. It turned out that this monk was the closest relative they missed day and night, so they asked their families to look around, but the monk had long since disappeared.

Since then, "children and grandchildren have their own blessings, don't be cattle and horses for children and grandchildren" has become a common saying, which has spread in Quanzhou so far. The next sentence of this sentence is actually warning parents all over the world that children and grandchildren have their own blessings, and intelligence also has blessings. They can only follow the trend, not force or let it go, otherwise it will only backfire in the end.
