508's Secret English Garden

  In my childhood, my parents were usually busy. I only knew that they sold children’s clothes in traditional market. I didn’t understand why they were busy until I was ten years old.

  One day, I was informed that I would go to work with my parents. We went to work at 5:00a.m. The market was noisy and dirty. I saw my parents greeted the customers and picked clothes for them. We finished our work at 4:00p.m. Before we went to home, my father asked me to fold all of the clothes. After I finished the work, my hands were very sore. I can’t even move my arms all three days.

  That day, I really understood that it was a laborious task. No matter how the weather was, my parents still had to do it the whole year. They usually felt exhausted due to the tiring work. I hoped that I could be independent so that they would spend less time on me and have much time to rest. Because of the experience, I learned that we should listen to our parents’ words and didn’t let them worry about us.
