A 7-year-old girl saved the chicken leg distributed by her school for her mother. After the head teacher posted this incident on the QQ group, it touched many parents' hearts.
At 12:20 PM yesterday noon, it was lunch time at Chengdu Xinhua Road Primary School.
There were chicken legs in the dishes, and the children all ate happily. Xiao Shudan, a 7-year-old girl from Class 2, Grade 2 didn't eat the chicken leg. She wrapped it with tissue paper, intending to take it home for her mother.
Head teacher Luo Xin noticed this detail and asked Xiao Shudan to eat the chicken leg. Then she gave her two more chicken legs to bring home for her mother.
This small incident moved some parents to tears...
### Didn't Eat Chicken Leg, Said To Bring It Home For Mom
During lunchtime, Teacher Luo was watching the children eat in the classroom.
Xiao Shudan had already eaten one round and went to get more food. Teacher Luo noticed that she held a box of food in one hand while holding a bunch of tissue paper in the other, with a corner of the chicken leg exposed.
It was the second time they had chicken legs this semester. The day before, after Teacher Luo announced the menu for the next day, many children cheered.
"Why don't you eat the chicken leg?" Teacher Luo was curious. Xiao Shudan answered: "I want to bring the chicken leg home for my mom."
Teacher Luo's heart sank for a moment, then she "ordered" her: "Eat the chicken leg, I'll give you two more, so you can bring them home for your mom."
In the afternoon, Teacher Luo posted this incident on the class parent QQ group. This was like a tear bomb, making many parents cry.
One parent said that now most children are only children, and parents always satisfy their children first with delicious food. Over time, many children have developed selfish personalities, eating all the good food themselves first.
"There are too few children who are so sensible, touching!" "My son was very excited about eating chicken legs at dinner last night and never thought of sharing with his parents." "Heart-wrenchingly moving..." Parents in the QQ group vied to speak.
### Mutual Courtesy, Mother And Daughter Share Chicken Legs
When school was over, Xiao Shudan's grandfather took her home. They first came to No. 73 Lian Guan Gong Suo Street, where her mother Liu Min's shoe repair shop was located. The two braised chicken legs in her schoolbag had already turned cold.
"Mom, we had chicken legs at school today, and I saved them for you." Xiao Shudan said as she took out the two chicken legs from her schoolbag.
Liu Min's heart was warmed. She stopped what she was doing, stood up, and hugged her daughter, kissing her cheek hard.
"Mom, you eat this one, dad and brother will eat the other one." Xiao Shudan held the chicken leg and handed it to her mother's mouth. Liu Min took a bite and pushed the chicken leg towards her daughter's mouth, but Xiao Shudan refused to eat.
The mother and daughter kept pushing the chicken leg back and forth. Later, Liu Min forced her daughter to eat, and Xiao Shudan finally shared the chicken leg with her mother.
### Mother: Every Time Something Was Distributed, She Would Bring It Home
Liu Min said that this wasn't the first time her daughter brought things distributed by the school home. Since kindergarten, whenever something was distributed, her daughter would bring it home. Two cookies, a piece of candy, a mooncake... "Every time, she would wrap the food in paper, sometimes the cookies were crushed into crumbs," Liu Min said. Sometimes, you could even see the trace of a small bite taken by her daughter.
"Mom works too hard." This was Xiao Shudan's motivation to bring the chicken leg home for her mother. She also said that last time when they had chicken legs, "Smelling so good, I slowly chewed it and finished it." During yesterday's lunch, classmate Xu Silu first proposed to bring the chicken leg home for her mom, and Xiao Shudan followed suit.
Liu Min's family is from Anyue. She has another son studying in Chengdu No.9 Middle School. Seven years ago, the whole family came to Chengdu to work. She repairs shoes near her home, her husband works in a decoration company, her mother is a sanitation worker, and her father washes dishes in a hotel.
Every morning at 4 o'clock, Liu Min has to get up, help her mother sweep the streets, and then go home to make breakfast for the whole family. She opens her shoe repair shop at 9 o'clock and doesn't return home until after 7 o'clock in the evening. The family's economy isn't affluent, but they live happily and peacefully.
Liu Min's family lives frugally, only buying chicken and fish during festivals to improve their diet. "Every time we improve our diet, we always save some delicious food for our parents and walk two streets to deliver it to them." Liu Min said that possibly influenced by this, both of her children are very sensible. Whenever the school distributes something, Xiao Shudan brings it home. When she is busy mending shoes, her daughter often puts a piece of candy or something else brought from school into her mouth.
### Student's Gratitude Moves Teachers To Tears
Head teacher Luo Xin said that Xiao Shudan's actions moved her and her colleagues to tears.
Originally, the school distributed chicken legs according to the number of students in each class. Yesterday, coincidentally, two students were absent due to illness, leaving two extra chicken legs. She planned to leave them for the best-performing students, but unexpectedly discovered Xiao Shudan's filial piety. "On the one hand, it's touching, and on the other hand, it can also be said that her performance is the best." Teacher Luo said, so she decided on the spot to give those two chicken legs to Xiao Shudan.
Teacher Luo said that November is the school's gratitude month. In order to let the children understand gratitude, not long ago, the school called on older students to wash their parents' feet and younger students to do something for their parents. At the same time, the class also started a gratitude-themed diary rotation, encouraging children to be grateful for the people and things around them. Previously, the class had also organized newspaper sales to help sick children.
Teacher Luo hopes that Xiao Shudan's act of saving the chicken leg for her mother can become a vivid teaching material for gratitude education nearby, inspiring more post-00s children.
### Child Writes Essay About This Small Incident:
#### A Small Incident Turns Into A Big Happy Event
Last night, Xiao Shudan wrote an essay at home about this incident, titled "A Small Incident", the original text is as follows:
Today at noon, the chicken legs were distributed. Wow, so fragrant! I wanted to bite it all at once, but then I thought of saving it for my mother. Just smelling its fragrance, I wrapped it in paper (to put) in my schoolbag, and was seen by Teacher Luo. The teacher asked why I didn't eat the chicken leg, and I said I was saving it for my mother. This small incident moved the teacher, and it also attracted groups of journalists uncles and aunts, all praising me for caring about my parents and being a good child.
I thought caring about parents was a very ordinary thing, but I didn't expect it to turn into a big happy event.
### Feeling Warmth In Winter
Yesterday, the temperature in Chengdu dropped. But Xiao Shudan's story of saving the chicken leg for her mother gave us a warm feeling. Such stories, when heard, seem like legends.
Once, I heard from my mother that my grandfather helped someone herd cattle, putting the meat given by the employer in leaves to leave for his own mother. My grandfather's story moved me. In that era, it was hard to eat meat. Most people might think, like me, that such stories are hard to happen now. But today, it really happened.
More importantly, in this class, bringing chicken legs for mothers, Xiao Shudan was not the only one.
Classmate Xu Silu was the first person who thought of it, and her behavior influenced Xiao Shudan. Last night, Xu Silu's mother said it was the most fragrant chicken leg she had ever eaten. Her feelings might be the same as yours and mine. Excerpted from: www.nmny.cn Please indicate the source if reprinted.
