Ten short stories about gratitude

A gentleman stopped at the gate of the flower shop. He plans to order a bunch of flowers from the flower shop and ask them to send them to his mother in his hometown.

When the gentleman was about to walk into the store gate, he found a little girl sitting on the road crying. The gentleman went up to the little girl and asked her:

"Son, why are you sitting here crying? 」

I want to buy a rose for my mother, but I don't have enough money. "said the child. This gentleman is distressed.

"Hmm …" So the gentleman took the little girl by the hand and walked into the flower shop. He ordered a bunch of flowers for his mother first, and then bought a rose for the little girl. Walking out of the flower shop, the gentleman suggested to the little girl that he drive her home.

"Do you really want to take me home? 」

"Of course! 」

"Then you can take me to see my mother. But uncle, my mother lives far away from here. 」

"If I had known, I wouldn't have taken you." This gentleman said jokingly.

The gentleman drove all the way as the little girl said. Unexpectedly, after walking out of the main road in the city, he followed the winding mountain road and came to the cemetery. The little girl put the flowers next to a new grave. She walked a long way to present a rose to her mother who died just a month ago. The gentleman sent the little girl home and then went back to the flower shop again. He canceled the bouquet for his mother, but bought a large bouquet and went directly to his mother's house, which is five hours' drive from here. He will send her flowers himself.

a rose

Hold a grand funeral for the dead,

When he was alive,

Kindness and filial piety.

2. An unlocked door

A mother and daughter live in a remote hut in a small village in the country. Her mother is afraid of being stolen and always puts three locks on the doorknob at night. My daughter hates rural life as boring and unchanging as landscape painting. She yearns for this city and wants to see the beautiful world in her imagination through the radio. One morning, my daughter left her mother in pursuit of that illusory dream. She sneaked away from home while her mother was sleeping.

"Mom, you just don't have my daughter. Unfortunately, the world is not as beautiful as she imagined. Without knowing it, she got stuck in the mud while walking on the road, and then she realized her mistake.

"mom! Ten years later, my adult daughter dragged her broken heart and clumsy body back to her hometown.

When she got home, it was already late at night, and a faint light shone through the door. She tapped on the door, but suddenly she had a bad feeling. My daughter got a fright when she twisted the door. "It's strange that my mother never forgot to lock the door before. Mother's thin body curled up on the cold floor and fell asleep distressfully.

"Mom ... mom ..." Hearing her daughter's crying, her mother opened her eyes and put her arms around her tired shoulder without saying a word. After crying in her mother's arms for a long time, her daughter suddenly asked curiously, "Mom, why didn't you lock the door today?" What should I do if someone breaks in? " 」

Mom replied, "Not just today. I'm afraid you can't get in at night, so the door has never been locked for ten years. 」

The mother waited for her daughter to come back for ten years, and the decoration in the room was the same as that of that year. That night, the mother and daughter went back to the way they were ten years ago, locked the door tightly and fell asleep.

An unlocked door

Family love is the cradle of hope,

Thanks for the warmth of home,

Give sustained growth momentum.

3. Hair in the lunch box

In that poor era, many students often didn't have the ability to take a decent lunch to school, just like the classmates next to me. His food is always black lobster sauce, but my lunch is often ham and poached eggs. There is a world of difference between them.

Moreover, this classmate will pick up hair from the lunch box first, and then eat his lunch box casually. This uncomfortable discovery has been going on.

"It can be seen that his mother is so sloppy that she has hair in her meal every day." The students are talking in private. In order to take care of my classmate's self-esteem, but I can't show it, I always feel so dirty, so my impression of this classmate began to be greatly discounted. One day after school, my classmates stopped me: "If you have nothing to do, come to my house to play. Although I don't want to, this is the first time my classmate invited me to play at home, so I'm embarrassed to refuse him.

I followed my friends to a poor village with the steepest terrain in Seoul.

"Mom, I brought my friend. After hearing the excited voices of the students, the door opened. His elderly mother appeared at the door.

"My son's friend is here, let me have a look. But the classmate's mother who walked out of the door just touched the beam outside the door with her hand. It turns out that she is blind.

My nose hurts and I can't say a word. Although the classmate's lunch every day is lobster sauce as usual, it is his mother who is invisible. He helped him pack carefully. This is not only a lunch, but also his mother's full love, even the hair mixed in it.

The hair in the bento

There will be more unexpected discoveries.

4. the postman who grows flowers

There is a middle-aged postman in a small village. Since he just turned 20, he has traveled 50 kilometers every day, sending sad and happy stories to residents' homes day after day. In this way, twenty years passed quickly and people and things changed several times. Only the road from the post office to the village has never been half a year, only flying dust.

"How long does this desolate road take? 」

He always feels a little sorry when he thinks that he has to spend his life riding a bike on this dusty road without flowers and trees.

One day, when he was going back after delivering the letter, he happened to pass by a flower shop. "By the way, this is it! He went into the flower shop and bought a handful of wild flower seeds. From the next day, he scattered these seeds on the road. In this way, after a day, two days, a month, two months ... he kept sowing wild flower seeds.

Soon after, there were many red and yellow flowers on the desolate road that had been walking back and forth for twenty years; Summer flowers bloom in summer and autumn flowers bloom in autumn. They bloom all the year round and never stop.

Seeds and flowers make people in the village happier than any mail delivered by the postman in his life.

A postman who whistles and rides a bike on a road covered with petals instead of dust is no longer a lonely postman or a sad postman.

The postman who grows flowers

Life is like a blink of an eye,

Time flies,

Why not leave behind the good deeds,

Provide cool air for future generations?

The hundredth guest

The noon rush hour has passed, and the originally crowded snack bars have all dispersed. When the boss was about to catch his breath reading the newspaper, someone came in. That's an old woman and a little boy.

"How much is a bowl of beef soup rice? Grandma sat down, took out her wallet, counted the money, and ordered a bowl of soup rice, steaming soup rice. Grandma pushed the bowl in front of her grandson. The little boy swallowed and looked at grandma and said:

"Grandma, have you really had lunch?" "Of course. Grandma chewed slowly with a piece of radish and kimchi. The little boy ate up a bowl of rice in the blink of an eye.

Seeing this, the boss walked up to them and said, "Congratulations to the old lady. You are so lucky today. You are our100th guest, so it's free. One day more than a month later, the little boy squatted opposite the snack bar, as if counting something, which surprised the boss who inadvertently looked out of the window.

It turned out that every time a little boy saw a guest walk into the shop, he would put pebbles in the circle he drew, but lunch time was almost over, and there were not even fifty pebbles.

The anxious boss called all the old customers: "Are you busy? It's nothing. I want you to eat a bowl of soup and soak in rice. Today is my treat. After calling a lot of people like this, guests began to arrive one after another. " Eighty-one, eighty-two, eighty-three ... Little boys count faster and faster. Finally, when was the ninety-ninth pebble put into the circle?

Just then, the little boy quickly took his grandmother's hand and entered the snack bar.

"Grandma, it's my treat this time." The little boy said proudly. Grandma, who really became the hundredth guest, asked her grandson to treat her to a bowl of hot beef soup rice. The little boy is like his grandmother, chewing radish and kimchi in his mouth.

"Send a bowl to the boy, too." The proprietress could not bear to say.

"The little boy is learning that he will be full even if he doesn't eat!" The boss replied.

Snoring ... grandma who ate with relish asked her little grandson, "Do you want to leave some for you? 」

Unexpectedly, the little boy patted his stomach and said to his grandmother, "No, I'm full. Listen, grandma. 」

The hundredth guest

Good thoughts encourage seedlings,

Seedlings can form forests,

Everyone has love, and society has affection.

6. The most delicious instant noodles in the world

He is a single father, raising a seven-year-old boy by himself. Whenever a child comes back from playing with friends, he feels deeply sorry for his dead wife, and whispers of sadness will come from his heart. This is what happened the day he left his children for a business trip. He left home in a hurry because he had to catch a train and had no time to have breakfast with his children. Along the way, I was worried about whether the child had eaten or cried, and I couldn't let it go. Even when I am on a business trip, I will call home from time to time. But the child is always very sensible to ask him not to worry. However, due to my anxiety, I finished my work in a hurry and set foot on my way home. When he got home, the child had fallen asleep and he was relieved. The fatigue of the journey made him weak. When I was ready to sleep, I was suddenly surprised: under the quilt, there was a bowl of overturned instant noodles!

"This child!" In a rage, he punched his sleeping son in the ass.

"Why so naughty, make dad angry? You are so naughty. Why did you take the quilt? Who should I wash it for? This is the first corporal punishment of the child after his wife's death.

"I didn't ..." The child sobbed and pleaded, "I didn't make trouble. This ... this is dinner for my father. 」

It turned out that the child specially made two bowls of instant noodles to match the time when his father came home, one for himself and the other for his father. But because I was afraid that Dad's bowl of noodles would get cold, I put it under the quilt to keep warm.

Dad listened and hugged the child tightly without saying a word. Looking at the half of the instant noodles left in the bowl, I said, "Ah!"

! Son, this is the most delicious instant noodles in the world! 」

The most delicious instant noodles in the world

No matter how young the child is,

And their dignity,

If parents find out that they are wrong about their children,

Bravely said to them:

"I'm sorry 」。

Equal Distribution of Life —— A touching family story

The boy depends on his sister. His parents died young, and he was her only relative. However, once again, disaster befalls these two unfortunate children. My sister is seriously ill and needs blood transfusion, but the blood in the hospital is too expensive, and the boy has no money to pay any expenses, even though the hospital exempted the operation fee.

As the only relative of my sister, the boy's blood type is the same as my sister's. The doctor asked the boy if he had the courage to bear the pain when drawing blood. The boy began to hesitate, 10-year-old brain finally nodded after some deliberation.

When drawing blood, the boy quietly made no noise, just smiled at his sister in the next bed. After the blood was drawn, the boy lay motionless in bed. After the operation, the boy stopped smiling and asked in a trembling voice, "Doctor, how long can I live?" The doctor wanted to laugh at the boy's ignorance, but then he was shocked by the boy's bravery: in the mind of a boy of 10, he thought that blood transfusion would lose his life, but he was still willing to donate blood for his sister. What courage it takes for a boy to make a decision-he is determined to die.

The doctor's palms are sweating. He held the boy's hand and said, "Don't worry, you won't die. Blood transfusion will not lose life. " The boy's eyes lit up: "Really? How many years can I live? " The doctor smiled and was full of love. "You can live to be 100 years old, young man, you are very healthy!" "

The boy jumped from the bed to the ground, jumping and jumping happily. When he turned around the ground several times to make sure that he was really okay, he raised his arm again-the arm that had just been bleeding, held his head high and solemnly said to the doctor, "Then give half my blood to my sister, and each of us can live for 50 years!"

Thanks to working parents:

My son finally won the championship of Dream China.

The popular Hunan Satellite TV Super Girl Competition has just ended. On the evening of June 65438+1October 65438+1October 10, the CCTV Dream of China finals started again! In the end, Wu Wenjing, a 265,438+0-year-old player from Jiangsu, won the "Golden Butterfly Award" with 65,438+0,064,446 votes in short messages.

However, who knows that Wu Wenjing was born in a poor family in Nanjing. My son's tuition is as high as 20 thousand yuan a year. How can a poor family afford an art school? It turns out that the poor can't inherit the wind! In order to support his son to realize his dream, Wu Wenjing's father actually "redeemed" himself. His mother left her hometown and worked everywhere like her father! People may ask: What touching family story happened between this miserable working couple and the "champion son"?

In a poor family, my son who loves singing secretly dreams of becoming a singer.

On June 8th, Wu Wenjing was born in a worker's family. His parents are educated youths who jumped the queue in the countryside after graduating from junior high school. After returning to the city, his father Wu Guining was arranged to be a driver in Nanjing Dongfeng Special Purpose Vehicle Factory after many twists and turns, and his mother Sun Jinfeng was arranged to work in Nanjing Accor Bus Company. Before his son Wu Wenjing went to primary school, Wu Guining and his wife's income was not high, and the family was too poor to afford a TV set.

Family financial difficulties made Wu Wenjing know about saving at an early age. When organizing a spring outing in the second grade of primary school, mother Sun Jinfeng gave Xiao Wenjing two yuan to buy snacks. But when Wu Wenjing came home that night, she returned the two yuan to her mother one by one. He told her: "Today, the school gave out cakes, so I don't need to buy snacks." Sun Jinfeng couldn't help asking, "Then why don't you buy something to drink?" Xiao Wenjing said, "I'm afraid that drinking cold drinks will cause diarrhea." Sun Jinfeng certainly understands that her son is reluctant to spend money. She said to her son distressfully, "Keep these two dollars and buy yourself snacks in the future." Xiao Wenjing said like an adult, "Mom, I'm a boy. The teacher said that only girls love to eat snacks! " Hearing this, Sun Jinfeng couldn't help crying: It's true that children from poor families have long been sensible!

Indeed, the children of the poor have long been sensible. Every day after school, Xiao Wenjing goes home early to help her parents do housework. One's only pleasure is to turn on the old-fashioned "Panda" brand radio that mom and dad bought when they got married while doing their homework, and learn to sing with it. Gradually, he had a special understanding of music. No matter what song he listens to twice, he can sing it at once. Neighbors often hear Xiao Wenjing singing at home, so they say to Wu Guining, "Why don't you find him a vocal music teacher to help him?" Maybe he will become a singer in the future! "Wu Guining said with a wry smile," Why don't I want this? But our family is too poor, and the heart is willing but unable to do so! "When Wu Wenjing knew this, he was deeply afraid of his parents' guilt and quickly comforted his parents and said," How can singing be a business? " I still like school! "

Nevertheless, Wu Wenjing still loves singing. Because the family can't afford a vocal music teacher, Wu Guining and his wife bought a tape recorder for their son to sing and record. Then they listened and found out the reason, thinking over and over again until they finally solved the problem. Wu Guining and his wife are very happy to see their son love singing so much, but they are also secretly worried: once our son is admitted to an expensive conservatory of music in the future, how can we afford his study expenses? Therefore, the couple neither stopped them nor dared to encourage them openly ... In this way, Wu Wenjing's songs got better and better. Since his sophomore year, he was often invited to participate in literary performances on radio and TV stations. Jiangsu Satellite TV variety channel "Shock One-Stop" and "Super Shock" and other program groups like him very much, and invite him to participate as long as there is a performance. No matter where he goes to perform, he always takes the initiative to help the crew move props, decorate or arrange clothes, and never mentions the reward. When the staff is moved, they often spend time teaching him some stage experience: some famous singers who perform on the same stage sometimes give him advice on singing skills, which has benefited Wu Wenjing a lot.

One day in early August, 1996, Wu Wenjing went to Xuzhou for a public performance with Jiangsu TV Station's "Shocking Through Train" program group. During the whole party, he not only engaged in props and costumes, but also performed solo and dance. After the performance, the crew paid him 200 yuan. After returning to Nanjing, Wu Wenjing bought his father a 25 yuan shirt and a 65,438-yuan tie, a 65,438-yuan floral skirt for his mother and a box of 30 yuan yak bone powder for his grandmother, but he didn't buy anything himself. That day, Nanjing was as hot as an oven, but he trotted home with these gifts in the scorching sun. When I got home, my mother saw that he was so hot that his face was sweaty, and she said with distress, "Why didn't you take a taxi back in this heat?" Wu Wenjing blurted out, "How much does it cost to take a taxi? It's better to buy another dress for my mother than to spend that money! " Dad watched him buy presents for the whole family, but he didn't buy anything, complaining that he said, "You often take part in performances, why don't you buy yourself some beautiful clothes?" The sensible Wu Wenjing put her arms around her father's shoulder and said, "Don't worry, Dad! Before each performance, the TV station staff will borrow many beautiful clothes for us from the big shopping malls as costumes. I don't have to pay for it myself. We actors can wear so many beautiful clothes for free. What a bargain! " Hearing this, mom and dad smiled, but there were tears in the smile. ...

"Cheap" yourself, loving father and loving mother work to raise children.

In May 2003, Wu Wenjing, who was about to graduate from high school, had to take the college entrance examination. Wu Guining and his wife hope that Wu Wenjing can apply to a university of science and engineering and find a job in the future, because their family is too poor to pay the expensive tuition fees of the Art College. However, Wu Wenjing didn't want to give up her singing dream and quietly entered Nanjing Art Institute. At the beginning of August of that year, he was successfully admitted to the specialty of pop music singing in the Philharmonic College of Nanjing University of the Arts! After the admission notice arrived, the parents were very happy, but when they looked at the "notice of charge" sent with the admission notice, the couple frowned. The tuition fee alone is 20 thousand yuan a year, and the sponsorship fee is 40 thousand yuan at the beginning of school. Where can they raise so much money? My father told Wu Wenjing the truth: "I thought you wouldn't pass the exam, but I didn't expect you to really pass it. You are ambitious! " But the problem is that you can pass the exam, but we can't afford it, son! "18-year-old Wu Wen silently walked into the room, covered with a quilt and burst into tears. The parents outside were also in tears.

Wu Wenjing understood his parents' difficulties. A few days later, he decided to give up his college studies and work in a shop in Nanjing. The son's action made Wu Guining and his wife sad. On the evening of August 26th, the couple stayed up all night, and Wu Guining kept smoking. At 4: 30 in the morning, Wu Guining stubbed out the last cigarette butt in his hand, and resolutely said to his wife Sun Jinfeng: "I" betrayed myself "! During Wenjing's college years, the annual tuition fee was 20,000 yuan. I have calculated that I can buy out the length of service in the unit at one time. With my 26 years of service, I can get at least 50 thousand yuan, pay the sponsorship fee and his first semester tuition first. In the future, I will work outside to earn tuition! "

When this statement came out, Sun Jinfeng burst into tears at that time, because according to the relevant regulations of the state, workers can enjoy retirement benefits after 30 years of continuous work, not only can they get considerable retirement salary every month, but also can enjoy free medical care, at least for a lifetime. Wu Guining, who has worked for 26 years, can enjoy retirement benefits as long as he persists for another 4 years. At this time, he decided to use his life security for the rest of his life in exchange for his son's tuition at an art school! In case her husband encounters natural and man-made disasters in the future, in case she is seriously ill ... Sun Jinfeng dare not think about it any more!

Looking at his tearful wife, Wu Guining completely subverted his ideas. He understood his wife's worry and couldn't help saying to her in a trembling voice, "What can I do if I don't do this?" I can't bear to watch Wenjing lose the chance to go to college! "Sun Jinfeng looked into her husband's eyes with tears and said matter-of-factly," Just do as you say! After all, I still have a job with a monthly income of 1000 yuan. From now on, I will not only save money to cultivate literary scenes, but also start to exercise. Anyway, I can't die in front of you. Because as long as I live, I can get paid, so even if you are old and can't work, we can share the same salary ... "Sun Jinfeng sobbed, and Wu Guining's heart ached like a knife. ...

In this way, at the beginning of September, 2003, Wu Guining went through a one-time buyout procedure in the unit and got 50,000 yuan. On the same day, he took his son to report to Nanjing Art College.

After leaving his former company, Wu Guining, who has more than 20 years of driving experience, thought he could easily find a job. Unexpectedly, due to his age, he didn't find a job for nine months in a row. During that time, the first thing he woke up every day was to look through the recruitment information in the newspaper that day, and then call the recruitment units one by one, but all he got was: "Unfortunately, you are over age, and we only recruit drivers under 35."

Only three months later, Wu Guining's black hair turned white because of anxiety. In desperation, Sun Jinfeng asked the company to transfer her to Taizhou Branch, which is 200 kilometers away from Nanjing, so that she can get the overseas subsidy from 800 yuan money every month. After buying out nine months of work experience, Wu Guining found a job as a bus driver in a school in Nanjing through the introduction of acquaintances, with a monthly income of 1400 yuan. In order to save money, after smoking for more than 20 years, he repeatedly reduced the amount of smoking, but he always looked optimistic in front of his son, lest his son carry a heavy psychological burden.

These behaviors of his parents made Wu Wenjing very sad, and he began to try his best to share his worries for his parents. After entering the university, he chose not to live in school to save money and rode an old bike to school every day. Every afternoon in his spare time, he goes to work in McDonald's restaurant near the school. He works two hours a day and earns 8 yuan money every hour. In addition, he found a job distributing leaflets in an electronics company in Zhujiang Road, Nanjing, and went downtown to distribute leaflets for the company every weekend, earning 30 yuan money every day. Because he often appears in various performances of Jiangsu TV station, he is more or less a "celebrity" in Nanjing, which makes him suffer a lot of accusations in his work.

One afternoon before the Spring Festival in 2004, Wu Wenjing came to the bustling Pearl River Road to distribute product leaflets as usual. A woman in her thirties recognized him and even pointed at him disdainfully and said, "Aren't you the young man who often sings on TV?" Why did you come here to hand out leaflets? Did you learn badly and get expelled from the TV station? "Her actions attracted many passers-by who didn't know the truth. Wu Wenjing blushed beyond explanation, so he had to run away. After running for more than 20 meters in one breath, he suddenly stopped. My father didn't even want his middle-aged job for me, he thought. How can I stand this injustice? Thought of here, he returned to the original place, not only re-distributed leaflets, but also sang cheerful songs while distributing them. ...

Every time he gets money from work, Wu Wenjing gives it to his parents in full. Wu Guining saved every sum of money earned by his son's part-time job and used it to buy a computer for his son. Later, when he saw that his son needed to practice the piano, he gritted his teeth again, took out all his family savings of 1.4 million yuan and bought a piano for his only son.

Although Wu Wenjing is still a college student, he often has the opportunity to take part in performances. There must be an accompaniment for every performance. Everyone else buys a CD of the original song first, and then pays someone to delete the original song from the CD by computer technology, at least it costs 30 yuan. In order to save money, Wu Wenjing made an accompaniment tape by computer, which only cost 0.2 yuan each time. When someone asked him why he was so stingy, he choked up and said, "Whenever I spend a penny, I will think of my father's white hair tired for me and my mother's leaving home for me to work in other places ..."

In order to earn as much money as possible, at the beginning of July 2005, his father Wu Guining decided to work in Shishi, Fujian Province, and went to a printing and dyeing stone-dyed denim. On the night of sending his father to the long-distance bus station, Wu Wenjing reluctantly said to his father, "It's time for other people's families to have dinner together, but the three of us will be divided into three places. Dad, can you not go? " Wu Guining couldn't bear to cry in front of his son. He looked up and said, "Dad left today, so that our family can live better together again. In the future, take care of yourself! "
