"Song Qingling's story of keeping promises" Once, my mother told Xiao Qingling the story of "eating her words". During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there was an etiquette named Meng Wubo around Lu Aigong. He had one of the biggest problems, that is, he didn't keep his word. Therefore, Lu Aigong was very dissatisfied with him. One day, Aigong held a banquet to entertain his ministers, and Meng Wubo and Aigong's minions solemnly attended the banquet. Meng Wubo never liked solemnity. He took the opportunity to make a fool of himself at the banquet and asked, "Why is Mr. Zheng getting fatter and fatter?" When Aigong heard this, he interjected: "A person often eats his promises, and of course he will gain weight!" As soon as the ministers here heard it, they knew that mourning for the public was not a serious criticism, but a secret accusation that Meng Wubo had broken his word.

Mother's story is to teach her to keep her word and keep her promise. Xiao Qingling remembers this in his heart.

One Sunday, Song Yaoru was going to visit a friend's house with her family. Most of the children were dressed and set off. Only Soong Ching Ling was still playing the beautiful melody at the piano.

Mother shouted, "Let's go, children. Uncle is waiting for us!"

Hearing her mother's cry, Soong Ching Ling immediately closed the piano cover and ran out of the room, holding her mother's hand and leaving. Just after she stepped out of the door, she suddenly stopped.

"what's the matter?" Aside Song Yaoru saw Qingling stopped and asked incredulously.

"I can't go to my uncle's house today!" " Qingling said some anxiously.

"why not, son?" Ni Guizhi looked at her daughter and said.

"Mom, Dad, I promised Xiaozhen yesterday that she would come to my house today and I would teach her how to fold flowers." Qingling said.

"I thought there was something very important? This is easy, teach her later! " When the father finished, he took Qingling's hand and left.

"no! No way! If Xiaozhen comes, she will fan the air. How bad that is! " Qingling said as he pulled his hand back from his father's big hand.

"that doesn't matter! When you come back, go to Xiaozhen's house to explain and apologize. Can't you teach her to fold flowers tomorrow? " Mom said.

"no! Mom, you always say that you should keep your promise. How can I change what I promised others? " Soong Ching Ling kept shaking her head and said.

"I see, our Rosamund is a child who keeps her word, so she can't go back on her word, can she?" Mom smiled at Qingling and then said, "Well, let our Rosamund stay!" "

Mr. and Mrs. Song Yaoru couldn't worry about their family's little Qingling. After lunch at the guest's house, they hurried home early. On entering the door, Song Yaoru shouted, "Dear Rosa Monde, where is your friend Xiaozhen?"

Soong Ching Ling replied, "Xiaozhen didn't come. Maybe she had something urgent!"

"How lonely it would be if my little Rosa Monde didn't come!" Ni Guizhi said to her daughter with distress.

"No, Xiaozhen didn't come. Although I was the only one at home, I was still very happy because I kept my promise." Soong Ching Ling argued.

After listening to Xiao Qingling's words, Song Yaoru and his wife nodded with satisfaction.
