It shows that people should be useful, not just decent people who are not good for others, and expresses the author's life ideals and values that are not for fame and fortune, but for the benefit of society.

In the article Peanut, Grandpa Xu Dishan described the scene of eating peanuts and discussing peanuts with his whole family on the night of the Harvest Festival. Through his father's words, he tells us a truth: be a real person like peanuts, and don't be a flashy person who looks good and is not good for others.

Indeed, peanuts are delicious, can be fried in oil, and are cheap. Everyone likes them. However, it is deeply buried in the ground, unlike peaches, apples and pomegranates, which hang bright red and light green fruits on the branches with dazzling eyes and ears, which makes people love at first sight. However, after a night of wind and rain, how many fruits are knocked down and there are chaos everywhere. This is flashy and can't stand the wind and rain.

Extended materials

The text itself highlights the simplicity and practicality of groundnuts, but does not deny the value of apples and pomegranates. The author uses peanuts to show his attitude towards life, that is, paying attention to practical results, silent dedication and other excellent characters. Therefore, students should be guided to understand that in real life, people who can really become "apples" are a minority, and the vast majority will be "peanuts".

"Apple" style or "peanut" style, as long as it is useful, it is respectable. This is the value that students should correctly understand and accept. Father doesn't mean that pomegranate and apple are useless, but peanut's character is more valuable than its obscurity, simplicity and practicality.
