There is an old Chinese saying that everything goes well for the family. The prosperity of a family has a lot to do with its harmony and beauty. This concept has been around for a long time and has been passed down from generation to generation. As economic life gets better and better, people's life expectancy continues to increase. There is a 100-year-old grandmother in our family. She is 103 years old. Currently, five generations live under one roof, enjoying themselves harmoniously. Grandma is actually very smart. No matter what we call her, she is happy. The old woman has five sons. The eldest son is now over 80 years old, and the youngest great-grandson is now 3 years old.
If all the members of a large family get together, there will be at least seventy or eighty people. During festivals, we can only eat in the hall in front of the ancestral hall because we can't sit down at home. The old lady didn't want to go upstairs. She said it was delicious to eat at the ancestral hall. So over the years, we have been celebrating the Spring Festival in the ancestral hall. I once asked my grandmother why she could live so long and be loved by so many people. The old lady said that our family has three family mottos, which can be summarized as loving father, filial son and good wife. First, the father should be charitable. Fathers are role models for their children. If a father is too strict, his children will not be loving.
She requires her sons to be a kind father figure, not a strict father. Children are very young, they are afraid of strictness and are unwilling to accept it. Therefore, the role of a loving father is far more successful than that of a strict father. Sons must be filial. The old lady asked the children to be filial to their elders. She said that a family, whether rich or poor, can only prosper if the father is kind and filial. Grandma has always wanted her family to be harmonious and beautiful, with family members loving each other.
The closest people in the world are your family. Without the love and help of your family, you will not be satisfied even if you leave this world. What she means is that if you don't cherish your family and relationships, no matter how successful you are, you have nothing to show off. A wife must be virtuous. In the family, the wife is the most stable role. As a wife, I have parents-in-law and children. How to balance and unite the family depends entirely on the role of the wife. A virtuous wife will understand how everything goes well at home. She will try her best to play the role of a wife, be filial to the elderly and take good care of the children.
