My dad
Text/Chen Qian
Listening to my children calling countless fathers and mothers every day, the immature children's voices are enough to warm the hearts of parents and dissipate the fatigue of the day. I thought that if Mom is the most affectionate name in the world, then Dad must also be the most beautiful language in the world.
Maybe it's because my mother's love is meticulous and ubiquitous, so I haven't communicated much with my dad for many years, and I have the impression that my dad has ignored my dad's love in addition to going out early and returning late every day to earn money for the family. Until this time, listening to the immature fairy tales, those warm times with my father often flashed in my mind.
I once heard the old man talk about the loss of security after blindness, I need my parents to take turns to sleep by the mound all night, and get up early and take turns to see a doctor during the day......
If I didn't remember it because I was too young at that time, then I was five or six years old when I had the memory. My father would sometimes play with my sister and me, pretending to be a big crab walking sideways to make me laugh, help me catch fireflies in the yard, let me see flooded rat holes, buy me building blocks, and go to the fields to fly his own kites pasted with newspaper and resin......
When I grew up, he sent me to school early every Monday morning, went to the beach or grassland to play for a few days every summer vacation, bought meat and wore meat to eat barbecue at home in the summer, and he could fix the electrical appliances at home......
Until now, whenever I need to go out to run errands, as long as he stops by or has time, he will pick me up, and I don't worry about going out and squeezing the bus by myself. When I was pregnant, he often went to buy me my favorite fruits and vegetables. I used to think that my father was an impatient person, or that he was really an impatient person compared to my mother, and he was annoyed when he saw us naughty, so he didn't care much about us. Until I gave birth to my baby, I had to go to the milk every day, even three times a day. Mom said next to me that it didn't work and broke off, but my father, who I thought would be troublesome, didn't say anything, and went to work less and was on call. This made me start to calm down and get to know my dad again.
My father was an ordinary man, he didn't have any special merits to praise, he naturally had small shortcomings, but he was simple and hardworking all his life, and finally raised us into a family. He is the filial son of his grandfather, and he is always the first to go when the old man has something; He was my mother's loyal lover, and even though the family was destitute for me, he still did not abandon him, and they rarely quarreled for decades; He is an ordinary father of his children, not a strict father, not enough communication, and only bent on earning money to support his family.
Now that my sister and I are married, my dad can finally breathe a sigh of relief and no longer have to go out early and return late every day to work. He can finally have his own time, he can invite friends to toast and laugh, he can go fishing, and he can have more time to chat with us......
Dad is over half a hundred years old, and he has worked hard all his life, but I am not careful enough, until now, I have a child, and I found his love in hindsight. Father's love is speechless, and father's love is like a mountain. After so many years, perhaps because of less companionship and less communication, I thought that if my mother's love is always by my side, then my father's love must always be behind him, always silently watching us and protecting us......
A call, a turn, a turn, the only father's love, powerful hands, warm smiles have always been there! ……
