Filial Piety Gift

I worked in a magazine and I met a reader friend.

After being familiar with each other, he often came to our editorial department to buy magazines.

Once, when he came to buy a magazine, he suddenly asked me if I had a gift note from a magazine.

I took out the gift book in the drawer and gave it to him.

He immediately opened the title page of the magazine and pressed a deep red print on it. There was a scarlet letter in black and white: "* * magazine".

I asked with a smile: "do you want to collect it?"

He laughed and said, "yes, I have a collection. Is there such a chapter?"

I laughed and laughed at his vanity.

After that, he came to buy magazines every month, every time he asked for a gift book.

One day, the friend rushed in.

I knew him very well, so I gave him the chapter and let him build it himself.

Unexpectedly, he took out a stack of travel agent packages from his arms and then covered them with a gift stamp.

I was shocked by his actions. I said, "our unit has no financial support to you."

He smiled and explained, "I gave it to my mother. She always wanted to see her hometown in Xiamen, but she didn't want to spend money. A gift stamp would make her feel better... You know, the old man always heartaches money."

Now, I woke up with a start and asked, "did you buy those magazines that you sealed before?"

The friend replied with embarrassment: "yes."

It turned out that every time a friend ran to my office to buy a magazine, it was not because he loved to read it, but the real reader was his mother.

Because he knew that only by such a frugal mother could he accept his gift frankly. Src=ht
