On the day of winter vacation, I walked out of my house when I was idle and bored "wandering" in the street. I happened to go to Xiao Xia's house with popcorn. I saw many customers coming to eat popcorn at her door. Xiao Xia and her mother, Aunt Meng, are so busy that they are sweating.
Xiao Xia and I are good friends. Aunt Meng is also very kind to me at ordinary times, and I am also very idle. Although they didn't ask for it, I was naturally willing to help them. Aunt Meng put me in charge of putting saccharin. I thought the more saccharin I put in, the sweeter the popcorn would be, so I scooped up a lot of saccharin with a small spoon. Aunt Meng saw it and said, "Put less, it will be bitter to put more rice flowers." Aunt Zhang stood beside me and said to me, "Shuang Shuang, put more. If you put less, it will not be sweet. My family likes dessert. " Aunt Zhang said what I thought. I am very happy. I smiled and said to Aunt Meng, "Aunt Zhang and we are neighbors. Please take care of her and give her more saccharin." He put a spoonful of saccharin into the popcorn jar. Aunt Meng sighed. I think she is stingy with saccharin.
After a while, the rice went to bloom. I caught a few and tasted them. I felt very sweet and thought: What Aunt Meng said just now is false. Unexpectedly, the taste in the mouth is changing, and the sweetness gradually becomes bitter, and the bitterness is astringent. I hurried to find water to gargle, but I still didn't get rid of the astringency after several mouthwashes. Only then did I know that Aunt Meng was right. She told me not to put less saccharin out of meanness. When I got home after a busy day, I figured it out: seasoning with saccharin should be just right, not more is sweeter, but too much will be bitter. This reminds me of life: too sweet will be bitter, and one thing just illustrates this truth.
Some media reported that a 20-year-old college student didn't even know the way home after being separated from his father. What is the reason? It turns out that when this college student was growing up, his parents took care of him in all aspects and never let him go out alone. Every time he went home and returned to school after college, his father personally picked him up and changed his meal ticket. This student lives a life of reaching for clothes and full of food, sweet in the shadow of his parents; However, once you leave your parents, you can't even take care of yourself. Can you still win a place in an increasingly competitive society? Isn't it painful?
This experience made me understand the relationship between pain and happiness. A person has to endure hardships before he can taste the sweetness, that is, after hard work, he can get the sweet fruit. This is true for individuals, and so is the country. Only through arduous creation can we have a world-leading position and national dignity.
