What do you mean by parents ordering not to be lazy?

It means: if parents call themselves, they should reply in time and don't deliberately delay; When parents ask them to do something, they should start at once, and don't deliberately delay or refuse to be lazy.

Excerpt from Disciples' Rules (Filial Piety) by Li Yuxiu in Qing Dynasty, the original excerpt:

Disciple rules, sage training. The first filial piety, the second honesty.

Love others, but love others. Learn literature if you have spare time.

Parents call, should not go slow, parents point, don't be lazy.

Parents should respect, listen to what their parents teach, and be responsible and obedient.

Translation:

Disciples should respect their parents, love their brothers and sisters, and then be cautious and keep their promises.

Love the public and be kind to the people. If you have extra energy after learning your own ideology and morality well, learn more and ask more questions.

If parents call themselves, they should reply in time and don't deliberately delay; When parents ask them to do something, they should start at once, and don't deliberately delay or refuse to be lazy.

When parents teach themselves, they should be respectful and listen to their parents carefully; When parents criticize and blame themselves, no matter whether they think their parents' criticism is right or wrong, they should be respectful to their parents' criticism and don't contradict them face to face.
