I haven't seen each other for many years, and I miss every plant and tree in my hometown. I miss my father Zhang Dashan even more. 20 years ago, in order to let me go to college, he worked hard, was thrifty, and even borrowed hundreds of thousands of debts. I know very well the importance of studying to change my fate, and I want to be admitted to university, and my father has done his best for me, which is really not easy.
Now that I have graduated with a Ph.D., it is time to go back and be filial to my father and repay him for his kindness. I thought in my heart that I would take my father to the city, buy some clothes to wear, and buy a small house to live a little bit more. Of course, my marriage is also on the agenda.
When I returned to my hometown, I hugged my father excitedly: "Dad, I'm back! You have worked hard all these years, and I finally have the ability to repay you." Let's go to the county seat and buy a house, I've found a job, I'll live in the city in the future, and I won't let you suffer so much again!"
The father was silent, his face full of exhaustion and sadness.
My heart tightened, and I asked with concern, "Dad, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"
The father sighed: "Son, the debts I have borrowed over the years have not been paid off, and now the creditors come to urge me every day, and I am under a lot of pressure." ”
I was surprised and said, "What? You haven't paid off your debts? Why haven't you paid off after so many years? Why are the creditors so unreasonable and forcing you to repay your debts!"
My father said helplessly: "I borrowed more than 400,000 yuan from relatives and friends for you to go to college, and with the interest over the years, I now owe a total of more than 600,000 yuan." I'm afraid I won't be able to pay it off in my life, and the creditor comes to collect the debt every day, and I am worried every day. ”
I felt sorry for my father, and at the same time I felt guilty of myself. My father has worked all his life for me, and now he is still in debt, what can I do to help him out of his misery?
So I plucked up the courage and said, "Dad, don't worry! I have found a job, the salary is good, I will find a way to pay off your debts, and I will never let the creditors pester you again!"
The father was silent, and after a long time, he sighed heavily, and said, "Son, I know your intentions, but I must pay this debt myself." I borrowed it back then, so I should pay it back myself. You just worked, and the money you earned was saved first, and you will need to use it to get married and buy a house later. ”
Looking at my father's emaciated back, my heart was full of sorrow. For the sake of my future, he did not hesitate to carry heavy debts, and now that I am back, he still has to pay off the debts alone, and my heart is like a knife.
"Dad, listen to me, I am working now, and I have a lot of salary, so I can help you share the pressure of paying off your debts. You've done so much for me, and it's time for me to repay you. Even if you don't agree, I will quietly save money to pay off your debts, it's too difficult for you to be alone. I said firmly.
A trace of emotion flashed on the father's face, but he still shook his head: "Son, I know your intentions, but this is a debt I owe, and I must pay it myself." You have just entered the society, you have earned a little money, but you also have to buy a house and get married, your life has just begun, and the money will be spent quickly. Let me pay this debt myself. ”
I looked at my father's gray hair, and my heart was full of unwillingness. "But father, you have done so much for me, and you are old, how can you still let you bear such a heavy debt alone? Even if you don't agree, I'll save money to pay you back, and you can't stop me. ”
The father's face became ugly: "Zhang Xiaoshan, you disobedient son! How many times have I said that this is a debt I owe, and I must pay it off myself." As a son, you should listen to me and stop mentioning the debt!"
I also became excited, and my voice raised a little: "Father, I just want to help you share the pressure, why are you scolding me so loudly? Don't you remember what you have done for me? I have grown up so big, you have given me wholehearted upbringing, I should repay you!"
Father's face turned red, and he slapped the table heavily: "Ignorant child, I worked hard to raise you for you to go to school, just so that you can live a good life in the future." Now you are not only ungrateful, but you are also meddling in my debts, you are really raised for nothing!"
I was stung by my father's anger, and tears rolled in my eyes: "Father, I have never forgotten your kindness to me, and I have always wanted to repay you." I just want to help you share the burden of paying off your debts, but you say that I am not grateful, and my heart really hurts. ”
The father sneered: "Repay? Do you think you have the ability to help me pay off my debt of more than 600,000 yuan now? You are just a hairy boy who has just worked, and you can't afford to support your own life, and you still want to help me? I think you have a brain in water!"
This sentence completely stung me, and tears welled up in my eyes: "Father, you are talking too much! I am your son, and I know in my heart that my current ability is limited, but I will work hard and find ways to repay your debts." I, as a son, how can I watch you being pestered by creditors and be indifferent!"
The father said coldly: "I don't need your sympathy and pity. I will pay off the debt I owe. You can work with peace of mind, marry a wife and have children in the future, and live your little life, and don't mention the matter of repaying debts!"
I looked at my father's resolute look, and my heart was like a knife. He is no longer the energetic middle-aged man he used to be, but an old man with gray hair and a faltering gait. I understood his stubborn temper, but I had to try to convince him that I couldn't watch him get through his old age pestered by his creditors.
"Father, I beg you, take my heart. You've done so much for me, and it's time for me to repay you. I am your son, and it is only natural that I should take responsibility for paying my debts. Even if you don't agree, I will still try to pay off your debt, because I know in my heart that this is my son's obligation. I choked up.
The father was silent, his lips trembling slightly, and a hint of emotion flashed in his eyes, but he shook his head anyway.
I knelt in front of my father with red eyes and hugged his thin legs: "Dad, I beg you, accept my heart! You have done so much for me, I want to repay you, this is my responsibility as a son." For the sake of my filial piety to you, please stop rejecting me!"
My father gently pulled me up, his face full of exhaustion: "Son, I know you want to help me, but I have to pay this debt myself." You've just come out of society, and your life hasn't been established yet, so don't worry about me anymore. I'm old, I won't live long, as long as you live well, I'll be satisfied. ”
Looking at my father's gray hair, my heart was completely broken. He has done so much for me, and yet I have caused him such pain, I am so sorry for him!
"Father, I have decided, whether you agree or not, I will try my best to pay off your debts! I can't watch you be pestered by creditors to spend your old age, I, as a son, must share the burden of paying off your debts. Even if you don't agree, I'll secretly save money to pay off my debts. This is my obligation!" I said firmly.
The father's face was ugly: "Zhang Xiaoshan, you disobedient son! How many times have I said that I don't need you to repay your debts, you want to meddle, it's too unfilial!"
I knelt on the ground and burst into tears: "Father, I am doing this out of filial piety to you, please understand my suffering! I am your son, I can't watch you be pestered by creditors to spend your old age, I must pay off your debts, this is my responsibility!"
The father's face turned red, and he slapped the table heavily: "Ignorant child, I raised you for you to study, not only do you not know gratitude, but you also want to meddle in my debts, you unfilial son, I don't have your son anymore!"
I knelt on the ground and tears welled up in my eyes: "Father, how can you say that you don't have my son! I wholeheartedly want to help you share the burden of paying off your debts, but you say that I am not filial, my heart really hurts!"
"I don't need your sympathy! I will pay my debts myself, you disobedient son, get out of here quickly!" Father roared.
"Father!" I cried and screamed, but my father kept pushing me away.
I walked out of the house with tears in my eyes, my heart like a knife. My father kicked me out of the house, what should I do?
In a daze, I came to the county seat. It's full of lights and hustle and bustle. I sat down in a corner of a tavern, ordered a few bottles, and drank them with my head up.
The alcohol numbed my nerves, and my mind was full of scenes of my father angrily scolding me. He kicked me out of the house, what face do I have to live in this world as an unfilial son?
"Hey, lad, what's wrong with drinking so much alone?" A middle-aged man next to me asked me with concern.
"There are always conflicts in the family, don't think about it. The man advised me.
I shook my head and took another big sip of wine: "My own father said that I am not filial, what face do I have to live? I don't want to live!"
After that, I stood up and was about to go out, but the man hurriedly grabbed me: "Little brother, calm down! You are drunk, I will send you home." ”
"Don't!" I shook off his hand, "I have no home! I, an unfilial son, deserve to live a wandering life!"
I staggered out and plunged headlong into the busy street. I want to end the life of my unfilial son to thank my parents in the world!
When I opened my eyes again, I was lying on a white hospital bed with various tubes stuck all over my body.
"He's awake, call the doctor!" A nurse next to her exclaimed.
Soon, a middle-aged male doctor came over, carefully examined my condition, and then said to me: "Young man, you are very lucky, you were not in danger of life in the car accident, only a slight concussion, and you need to recuperate. Your family has been notified to come over. ”
Who could my family be?
Just then, the door to the ward was pushed open, and I saw my father hurrying in.
"Son, you're awake!" My father came to my bedside with distress in his eyes.
I was in a trance, and I couldn't believe that my father would come to see me: "Dad, why are you here?"
My father held my hand and tears welled up in his eyes: "Son, it's my dad who is not good, I shouldn't have said anything serious to drive you out, you should be angry with me." When I heard the news of your car accident, my heart was broken, so I hurried over to see you in a car!"
I also shed tears: "Dad, I was wrong, I shouldn't have talked back to you, and I shouldn't have recklessly run away from home to worry you." I really knew I was wrong. ”
My father hugged me gently: "Son, it's Dad's fault, Dad shouldn't force you to run away from home, you want to help Dad share the burden, but Dad blindly refuses, it's really old and confused." Dad owes you, and Dad can't pay it off in his life. ”
I shook my head: "No, Dad, it's me who is wrong, I shouldn't have forced you to make me pay my debts, I was too impulsive." You're right, it's a debt you owe, and you should pay it yourself. I shouldn't have interfered. ”
The father sighed: "Son, if you have this heart, Dad is very pleased." It's just that you're still young, you've just come out of society, and your life hasn't been established yet, so don't worry about your father's debts. Let Dad pay it back himself. ”
I nodded with red eyes: "Dad, I know." I've just come out of society, and I really can't help you much. I will definitely work hard in the future, and when I am really able, I will definitely do my best to help you share the burden of paying off your debts. This is my duty as a son. ”
My father's warm big hand touched my head: "Son, you have grown up. As long as you're doing well, Dad will be happy. I've worked hard for you all these years, and I've made you suffer, it's all my father's fault. In the future, you have to live a good life, find a good girl to start a family, and stop worrying about your father's affairs. ”
"Dad, I will. As long as you take care of your body, I am relieved. I will work hard, and I will definitely repay your debts when I have the ability in the future, this is my obligation. I said firmly.
The father nodded and sighed again: "Son, Dad is old and won't live for a few years, I just hope you live a good life, be happy, don't worry about Dad's affairs." ”
I squeezed my father's hand: "Dad, you will definitely live a long and healthy life." I will find a good job, earn money to pay off your debts, and buy a house so that you can live a happy life. When the time comes, I will marry and have children, and we will be reunited as a family, and you will be able to hold your grandson. ”
A glimmer of brilliance flashed in his father's eyes, but he still shook his head: "Son, you don't have to worry about Dad's business, just let Dad come by himself." Hurry up and find a good girl to marry, I'll wait to hold my grandson. ”
I looked at my father's gray hair, and my heart was filled with guilt. Thanks to his years of nurturing, I am where I am today. I had to find a way to repay my father, and I couldn't let him pay his debts alone.
"Dad, I've thought it all through. I've applied for a new job and the salary will be quite a bit higher. I will work hard and save money to pay off your debts. When the time comes, I will also find a filial and virtuous girl when I marry a wife, and she will definitely understand that I want to repay you, and she will not object. Please stop holding me back. I said earnestly.
The father wanted to say something, but finally nodded: "Son, you have grown up and have your own opinions." Dad won't stop you anymore. It's just a matter of paying off debts, you have to take your time and don't push yourself too hard. ”
I happily said, "Thank you, Dad, and I'll work hard to pay your debts as best I can." I'll take care of myself too, and I'll not be too forced. When the time comes, we will reunite as a family, and you will be happy to live to be 100 years old!"
Father finally smiled. His warm big hand covered my hand: "Son, Dad believes in you." You are a good boy with responsibility, and you will be able to do it. As long as you are happy, Dad will be content. ”
I smiled too, and a power rose in my heart that I had never felt before. I want to work hard to pay off my father's debts as soon as possible so that our family can live a happy life.
After I was discharged from the hospital, I found a job that paid better. I work hard during the day and go to Xi at night to improve my abilities as soon as possible.
When my father saw me working so hard, he sometimes advised me not to work too hard and to take care of my body. I knew he was looking out for me, but I couldn't stop.
Finally, after three years, I saved enough money to pay off all the debts my father owed. At that moment, I was so excited that I couldn't speak, and my father hugged me with red eyes.
