A year later, when leyangzi came home, his wife knelt down and asked him why he had come back. Yangzi said, "I've been away for a long time. I miss my family in my heart. There's nothing special about it." After listening, his wife picked up the knife and quickly walked to the loom and said, "these silk fabrics are all made from cocoons and woven on the loom. The accumulation of a piece of silk can reach one inch long, and the accumulation of one inch by one can make a piece. Now if we cut off these silk fabrics, we will lose the chance of success and waste time. If you want to accumulate knowledge, you should "learn what you don't know every day" and use it to achieve your own virtue. If you come back halfway, what's the difference between cutting off this silk fabric? " Yangzi was moved by his wife's words and went back to finish his studies.
