Suzhou, Jiangsu, a mother happened to sell the scrap to the old man. When my son was doing his homework, he put the 50 yuan cash given by the old man in his mouth. A casual word from my mother hurt the child's heart. The mother called the old man who collected the waste products "old man", saying that his son was dirty in his mouth and he should pay attention to hygiene.
But his son, who was usually very obedient, refuted his mother's remarks this time. As he spoke, a sad feeling surged into his heart and choked up several times.
The son said that mother should not call others "old man" but "old man". If the old man knows, he will be sad. Another point is, how can you dislike the elderly’s money being dirty?
Then, my mother corrected her attitude. She said that I will call him "uncle" in the future. But she still warned her son very seriously not to put things in her mouth in the future. The mother admitted that she had no intention of discriminating against the elderly, and she would pay attention to her words and deeds in the future and try to be a good example for her children.
After the child’s reverse education, the mother also deeply realized that some more merciless and casual words will inadvertently hurt the child’s heart, and at the same time, she is also happy for the child’s correct “three views” and growth. As the saying goes, good words make good connections, bad words hurt people's hearts.
