A pair of chopsticks can show a child's character and accomplishment, which my grandfather told me with his wisdom.
When I first came out of society, I was still a rookie secretary. One day, I took my first boyfriend home for dinner and happened to take my grandfather home for dinner. Grandpa was silent and listened to our chat quietly while eating.
When my boyfriend came back, my grandfather suddenly spoke and said to me earnestly, "Baby granddaughter, don't be intimate with your boyfriend and don't get married. I was shocked, not only because my taciturn grandfather suddenly spoke, but also because he spoke for the first time to comment on the boyfriend I brought home. At that time, I had a good relationship with this boyfriend. He was young and promising, and he became a supervisor at a young age. Then why did grandpa say that we can't be intimate?
Grandpa went on to say, "From the way he eats, you can actually know what kind of person he is, his personality and family education." The child has a habitual action when picking vegetables. He always turns the dishes at the bottom of the plate with chopsticks, stirs them a few times to see what's underneath, and then picks them up. He even stirred his favorite dishes repeatedly, as if using chopsticks as a spatula to make a dish in a mess. 」
I said disapprovingly, "Everyone's eating habits are different! Some people like to chew slowly, while others like to eat and drink. What is worth investigating? Always paying attention to details is too petty! 」
Grandpa shook his head and said, "If a poor man is faced with a delicious dish, it is understandable that he wants to eat it, because he seldom eats a decent meal, but this boy is already the head of the company." It is conceivable that he is not short of material life, but his eating style is so ugly, which shows that he is a selfish and narrow-minded person and his family education is not good.
Faced with a dish, he completely ignored the feelings of others and rummaged through it with chopsticks. If he is tempted by interests one day, he will take it for himself by hook or by crook and will not take care of others. If you marry him or make friends with him, you will certainly be hurt by his selfishness. 」

Then, grandpa told the story of his childhood. When grandpa was 7 years old, his father died. Grandpa and mom live together and live a very poor life. Often they don't have a meal, even white rice.
One day, they went to a relative's house as a guest, but his mother repeatedly warned his father: "Son, you must pay attention to your diet when eating, and you must never monopolize your favorite food." That's unreasonable. Without a tutor, people will laugh at you. " Our family is poor, but we must not lose our manners and tolerance. 」
Grandpa kept this sentence in mind. Even in the face of a table full of delicious food, he will never lose his manners. He always controls his eating habits to prevent himself from losing his manners. Grandpa said to me meaningfully, "Don't underestimate a pair of chopsticks. In fact, a small detail can reveal a child's accomplishment, family education and personality, and a small detail can also tell a person's personality. 」
