A leisurely life that begins with the possession of a game character

Tongtong knew that her father was worried about her future. Her parents were getting older and older, and there would come a time when they could no longer take care of her. And she would also become a person one day.

Sometimes Tongtong would think that it would be great if he had a younger brother or sister, so that his parents would have hope and wouldn’t feel hopeless about the future.

But Tongtong's mother was injured in a car accident, so it was difficult for her to get pregnant. It would cost a lot of money to have another child. The family had not made much money in recent years, and with Tongtong's illness, it was even harder to save money.

Tongtong usually goes to the store whenever he has time, helps with the accounting, and does whatever he can. The longer he stays in the store, the more he feels sorry for his parents.

Sometimes when he met unreasonable customers, her father had to tolerate them again and again, and tried not to offend customers. Because of being exposed to the sun all year round, Tongtong's father's skin was tanned but his hair was not tanned. His hands were covered with calluses and his nails were black due to the corrosion of gasoline.

Tongtong's father is less than 50 years old, but his face is already very old. Tongtong said that her father is too ordinary, too ordinary, and that even if she worked hard all her life, she could not make her relatives look at her with new eyes and stop mocking her father for being poor and without status.

Tongtong said that her father worked hard for her for half his life without asking for anything in return. As parents, Tongtong's parents had hoped that their son would become successful and were full of expectations. But in the end, Tongtong did not grow up to be what they expected.

Expectations were dashed. Tongtong couldn't accept what her parents would not accept either. However, Tongtong's parents still accepted Tongtong, even though Tongtong had never made them proud.

Tongtong's parents no longer expect her to be successful in the future and become their pride and support. Their biggest wish is that Tongtong can take care of herself and not worry about life, although this is difficult.

Tongtong's parents would feel very guilty when they saw Tongtong suffering from illness and unable to sleep all night, and Tongtong also often felt guilty for being a burden to his parents.

Tongtong remembers that once, she complained to her father about her behavior of relying on her parents because she felt too guilty. She said, "I have been staying at home for the past few years relying on my parents for food and drink for free. Everyone laughs at me."

Tongtong's father smiled and said, "Who is laughing at you? They didn't support you, and I didn't ask you for money for food. Our family is not so poor that we can't afford food."

Tongtong said angrily: "If I had to rely on you for my whole life, you wouldn't say that."

Tongtong's father looked relieved and said, "I have taken care of you for more than ten years, so why should I be afraid of you for the rest of your life? Besides, nowadays, all old men and old ladies rely on others to support them. I will be very happy if you can support yourself in the future. If you can't, we three can just live together. We are destined to be together in this life, but I won't be able to take care of you in the next life."

Tongtong felt sad after hearing this, and couldn't help crying. If it is said that there is no shame in living off parents, it is a lie. There is an advertisement about washing the mother's feet. In Tongtong's case, the roles are reversed, and it is the mother who washes her feet.

At this time, Tongtong would feel very embarrassed and wanted to say something to thank her but couldn't. So he comforted his mother in a casual tone: "You are working hard now. I will wash your feet when I am old."

Tongtong's mother curled her lips and was used to such empty talk: "I don't have the blessing of expecting you to wash my feet. I will be satisfied if you can let me live a good life for a few days when I grow old."

Tongtong joked to his mother: "If I can make a lot of money in the future, I will definitely let you live a good life. Then you will enjoy happiness."

Her mother didn't respond, and looked at Tongtong with a complicated look: "Don't worry about whether I can live a good life or not, take care of yourself first. Think about what you will do in the future. When I get old, I will be content if I don't have to suffer with you anymore. Let me and your dad take a few days off and live a comfortable life..." Tongtong didn't know what to say after hearing this, and her mother kept silent. When facing the issue of the future, the family always maintained a tacit understanding of powerlessness.

In silence, the mother washed Tongtong's feet and poured out the water. Looking at her mother's back, Tongtong always secretly said to herself: I must work hard to make my parents live a good life.

Even if I can't make my parents live a good life, I don't want to make them worry more. Tongtong feels that she can do very little, but she believes that a little bit of accumulation plus long-term persistence will make her wish come true and bring happiness.

Tongtong has been saving his New Year's money and never spent it, thinking of using it to treat his illness. Although the remaining amount is very small, it is a drop in the bucket for Tongtong's illness. But he still wants to improve his current life little by little through his own efforts, so that his parents can have a better life.

I hope I can live longer and repay my parents for their kindness in raising me. Tongtong's wish is that one day she can lend her parents a shoulder to lean on when they are tired, and she can fulfill her responsibilities when they need her.

You can tell them through practical actions: You have worked hard to take care of me in the past, and now it is my turn to repay you, and we should live well together as a family.

The Buddhist scriptures say that you will reap what you sow. Perhaps children are the debts owed by parents in their previous lives, debts that parents cannot repay even in this lifetime.

Children are debts to their parents, one is in the role of creditor and the other is in the role of debtor, so the relationship between them is destined to be unequal.

In our country, most parents devote their entire lives to their children, from meticulous care during infancy to schooling, family building, and care of grandchildren.

During this period, children, like the slave owners of old, exploit their parents step by step and squeeze out their surplus value until their youth is gone and their lives pass away.

But our parents are not like the slaves of that time. They will not resist or be dissatisfied. They do all this willingly, and it can even be said that they have no regrets and enjoy it.

But how do children treat their parents? Except for a small number of children who are truly filial and allow their parents to enjoy their old age, most children do not allow their parents to spend their old age in peace and happiness. At best, they are just "not starving to death".

Children are the debt of their parents. Who can predict what will happen in the next life? If you owe your parents so much in this life, will your children become parents and repay their debt in the next life? Tongtong thinks it would be great if this were the case. She is willing to establish a creditor-debtor relationship with her parents for generations to come.

Liu Xiaoyu accidentally saw the heartfelt video that Tongtong posted on the short video platform, and she was instantly moved.

Afterwards, she watched the daily life video that Tongtong had posted before, contacted Tongtong through private message, and then Liu Xiaoyu added Tongtong as a friend.

After understanding Tongtong's family situation, Liu Xiaoyu felt that Tongtong's condition should be checked by Zhang Lan. It's not that they didn't want to find a doctor, but if Tongtong's disease could really be cured, Tongtong's parents would not have given up. (End of this chapter)
