The other day my mom and I went shopping at the mall and came to the New Balance store to try on shoes. My mom has been square dancing lately and always wants a comfortable pair of sneakers.
In the past few years, New Balance has been inexplicably on fire, and when you wear it, it seems like the whole person is bullish.
My mom saw a pair of red ones with some patterns on them. Seriously, they were just the right size and I asked my mom if they were comfortable.
My mom stood up and turned around in front of the mirror, and she looked like she was quite pleased with herself: quite good, and she felt quite relaxed. I saw her ah, smiling, eyes are smiling curved, obviously like it.
Then ask the price: more than eight hundred.
My mom was a little hesitant when she heard the price, and I saw her turn around in front of the mirror twice, with a look that she liked and disliked, obviously ah, torn.
I'll just wear them once in a while, or forget it, don't buy them, it's not like we don't have sneakers at home. My mom muttered softly, but I know what she didn't say, it's too expensive, buy them back and don't wear them a few times, it's a waste.
Buy them if they look good, they're just right for you when you're square dancing. This money, I out.
They are too expensive. My mom said softly, but ah, that tone, but not so resolute.
I let the shopper put the shoes on, and then went to the front desk to pay the money. The first time I saw my mom, she was like a little daughter-in-law following me around. When I walked out of the store, I saw my mom carrying a shopping bag, but the corners of her mouth was a light smile, as if she still wanted to be reserved, but she could not stop being happy.
I suddenly felt that this money, spend really worth it, even if the number of times to wear less, but at least let my mom happy.

When I got home that day, my mom put on her new shoes and went dancing.
The person who usually dances until nine o'clock to go home, that day she danced until ten o'clock to come back.
I went to the living room to get water, and then I saw my mom humming a song, a happy look, apparently in a very good mood.
I raised an eyebrow at my dad, who spread his hands, and then just said, "Your mom said you bought the shoes, dancing is just comfortable, happy."
I was suddenly happy and couldn't help but just say, "Then mom you wear them more often."
My mom waved at me with a glowing look.
Over the next few days, my mom didn't come home until ten o'clock every day. I looked over the top of the shoe rack and the NB shoes were always gone.
My dad was sitting in the living room watching TV, alone, he shouted at me: "Your mom, these days are happy, wearing the shoes you bought every day to go out and dance, and every time I see a person, I will say that this pair of shoes is a gift from you, and she ah, she is fooling around."
I couldn't help but just laugh.
Then, my dad yelled again: "My daughter, when you also send my dad one, I also go out to show off". My dad looked embarrassed and justified.
"Okay, I'll buy one for my dad in a couple days." When my dad heard this, he seemed to be satisfied, "Don't buy too expensive ah, just mean it." My dad couldn't help but add another sentence.
I suddenly remembered that when I was a kid, when I had a new toy, I would always bring it to my buddies to show it off, see the envious eyes of all of them, and then add a sentence: my dad bought it for me.
That tone of voice, proud and proud, I felt like the happiest little princess under the sky, what I have, you do not have.
Now that I've grown up, the position of each other is reversed, my parents took me to send things, compared to my new and old, they are always praised over and over again.
Gave a scarf, hated that every day was winter, and then hung it around their necks. Gave a pair of sneakers, every day to go out to exercise, gave a bracelet, that is even more hanging on the hand and refused to take off.
If the birthday sent a cake, hate to tell the world, my daughter bought for me. Then, the circle of friends immediately nine pictures attached, and then add a sentence: today my birthday, my daughter bought me a cake, thank you daughter.
The children did a small thing let them remember in the heart, a moment dare not forget.
Just ah, grow up so big, I do not know how many things have done to me, not to mention not yet adult time, is to grow up, monthly pocket money, from time to time to ask for warmth, I work when the concern, I am unemployed when the encouragement, probably I have always been taken for granted, so did not take it to heart.
But now, looking at the two of them, a little gift, a little send a word of concern, will be happy as what, I do not know why, the heart is a little bit not taste.
It is probably because I have no heart for a long time, and it is rare to have a heart, it will be difficult.

My best friend came home on November 11, dragged his parents to Chow Tai Fook, bought a gold necklace for her mom and a gold ring for her dad.
That day I saw two friend circle tweets from his parents.
BFF's mom: my daughter really understands, bought me a necklace and her dad a ring, it's good to have a daughter. Here is a family photo, incidentally a close-up of the gift. Bright and shiny, simply flash my eyes.
Best friend's father: daughter came home on November 11 to take us two old to pick out gifts, daughter has a heart. By the way the family photo and blinding gold with pictures.
My parents and girlfriends parents are good friends.
I saw my mom then commented below: Lao Li, your family Silk really understand, it seems that you are going to enjoy the blessings in the future.
Then I saw my father quickly clicked two likes, followed by: Silk really filial, old Li, your daughter is really good, really unlike my family this ......
The adults you back and forth, praise to praise, your daughter is good, my daughter is bad, China's national condition always seems to be to put their own child The Chinese national culture seems to always want to damage their own children, and then try to praise other people's children.
My best friend Silk is WeChat message to me: I did not think to buy gold ah, my parents hard to buy gold, said the gold appreciation, you can leave me later, forget it, they are happy.
The original parents is, you give me a valuable gift, I was happy to receive, but in the end, still can not help but think for you, want it to leave you.
At that time, our family was traveling abroad.
My parents arrived at the end of the night and quickly posted a few pictures of the restaurant and the scenery taken during the day in their circle of friends.
My dad said: the whole family came out on a trip together, and my daughter finally got it, she arranged all the food and drinks.
My mom said: my daughter went out to arrange good tourist attractions, tickets are all booked by her, with my daughter, everything is at ease.
I saw my best friend's parents are also quick to point out, followed by the comment: your family Lu Lu really understand, but also take you out to play, not like my family silk, do not love to go out ......
Seems to be the same scenario repeated.
This is a typical feature of Chinese parents. They always praise other people's children when they see how good they are and then say that their own children are not good.
But we forget one thing, no one can say a bad word about us except them, and if someone says a word about us, they will be the first to disagree.
I would like to say that you will definitely say that they flaunt their children.
But what's wrong with that?
It's us, who still don't know any better than to show off every day about the fancy restaurant where we ate, the beautiful selfies we took, the new luxury items we bought.
Parents eagerly post your photos in their circle of friends, is because they really think you feel good, you are the most precious, can not help but want to publicize, together to share their happiness.
They want to tell the whole world that your existence is the greatest achievement of their life, even if you just do a small thing.

I was out of town on Father's Day this year and had too much going on to call my dad to wish him well.
After a few days, I came home, my dad, as always, nothing happened. My mom was unable to resist and I said: your father Father's Day when you waited for you to wait for a day of phone calls, said you how even a dad Happy Holidays did not say, how the text messages are not sent, your father is not wanting you to send something, is ......
Seriously, at that time, when I heard this, I really feel ashamed of panic.
I actually knew that day was Father's Day, but just hesitated to call my dad, about the fact that I felt grown up, pretentious words, really hard to say. I always feel like tweeting and texting isn't very nice. And then it was busy there, and subsequently busy through the holidays.
But yeah, don't family members need pretentious words to be close to each other?
Where's the embarrassment in that?
They don't ask for much, they just want you to give them a call, a blessing, that's all.
But I was so stingy that I didn't even give a word.
Even if he treats me as he always has, I feel ashamed of myself.
Later, I ran out and bought a wallet, my dad's original one used for a long time with broken still can not throw.
I remember when my dad came home from work that day, he happily drank two beers, looked at me several times, and then couldn't help but say: it's good to have a daughter.
That night, my father sent a friend circle: my daughter gave me a wallet.
I replied: Dad, I love you.
My mom said my dad went to work the next day humming and came back with two boxes of my favorite dark chocolate.
Parents of our generation, most of them are reticent and inexpressive, that is, they follow the trend, post a circle of friends, and don't know how to praise you, at most, they say that you know what you are doing. However, they are good to you, really really fall in the real.
But they can't express it, we can express it, they can't talk about it, we can talk about it, we can do it.
They have done so many things for you, you praise them, and will not lose you a bit, you have what to be embarrassed?

I bought my mom a pair of 800 New Balance sneakers, my mom was able to show off the whole square dancing aunt know, my mom has a filial daughter, buy her shoes.
All of a sudden, my mom was feeling awesome, and she had the spirit to dance, but what she really felt awesome about was the fact that I was thinking about her, I was thinking about her, I was willing to spend money for her, and I loved her.
When I grew up, I realized that the only capital that parents show off is their own children.
Because the child is their most precious. The little bit of sweetness that their children show them is the softest part of their heart.
I thought, I have to think about them more in the future, so that they feel, with me, life is a special bull.
