Father

Growing up, my father has always been the person I feel the most severe, and I don't have a lot of communication and a very tense relationship with my father and son like fathers and sons in many families. I have always been a man of good manners in front of outsiders, but in the eyes of my father I was a person who was not good at words, and before I got married, he would always tell me how you would hang out in this society after you could not speak like this. Although I am very resistant to such words in my heart, I have never objected to it, which may be the Chinese style of father-son relationship.

The father was actually a hard person, when he was 15 years old, his grandparents divorced, and in that era, rural divorce was a particularly important thing, because the divorced grandmother went to Xi'an, and the grandfather went to the county town with another family. Leaving his father and aunt behind to follow his grandfather at home. At that time, my father had already taken care of the whole family. In the busy season of farming, everyone else's family is a family of old and small, and our family is only two people, my father and aunt, and we have already borne the hardships beyond the age at a young age. I don't know what my father thought at that time, maybe he had a grudge, but he insisted on coming step by step. To this day, the relationship between father and grandfather is still very poor, but as grandpa grows older, the father still fulfills the obligation of a son, and grandpa was admitted to the hospital because of stones last year, and his father stayed with him all night. Whenever I think about it, I feel the greatness of my father.

My father's most glorious time was in 1998, when he spent all his savings and finally built a small three-story building. This is the second building in our village, and every time people talk about how powerful my father is, he has two sons and built a building. Many times after drinking, my father would tell us what his relatives and friends said to him after he was covered, which was his greatest honor.

In September 2015, I got my acceptance letter from the university, although it was not the school that my father expected in his heart, but on the day of registration, my father accompanied me to board the bus to the school and came to a strange city. In order to save two dollars on the bus fare, my father and I walked all the way from the station to the school. At that time, I did not understand my father's approach, and the ignorant vanity in my heart was full of complaints about my father. But after my father helped me settle in without a word, he left me 600 yuan, and then walked to the station and got on the return bus. He told me that his mother was alone in the house, so he had to hurry back. Later my aunt told me that my father had saved every penny he could save for the house for me and my brother. He did everything for me and my brother for the sake of the family.

My father is almost 60 years old this year, and his hair is already gray when he is in his 30s. At that time, my brother liked to help his father pull out his white hair when he was young, and from then on, his father relied on dyeing his hair to ensure that his hair was black. Although he has reached the age when he should retire, his father is still working non-stop, when he was young, his father worked as a salesman, then he made his own straw hat, and now he is working as a coolie in the factory warehouse, he really let me know what an old father who is hard-working and hard-working. Unlike our generation, who live a life of high-handedness and low-level, we always feel that we have a bit of a culture and are reluctant to go to the factory, sitting in the office with a small dead wage to live a life that we feel comfortable with, and never really fighting for our future. Fathers are the role models we really should learn from.

The fall of 2016 was normal for me, but it was so difficult for my father and mother, who decided to go to Tianjin with a few uncles to join the construction workers' brigade. But in the first week there, my father fell off the scaffolding and broke his arm, and then came home to recuperate, and my mother was only cutting threads in the garment factory at that time, but neither of them told us from beginning to end, and waited until my father was cured before my mother called me to tell me, and many nights I wondered how the two old men survived that time. They have worked hard for their children all their lives, but when they really encounter problems, they never want to trouble their children. As a son, I should really say that I am not a qualified son.

In 2021, my father still insists on riding a battery car back and forth for two hours a day, doing hard work, all I can do is to go back to see my father more, but I always find a lot of excuses for myself not to go back. One morning sitting in front of the computer brushing the circle of friends suddenly saw that the father was hit, quickly called the phone, ask him what the situation is, he just faintly told me that there is nothing wrong, with the car bumped, I said you hurry to the hospital to see, he said there is no big problem, after the traffic police dealt with him he still went to work. We owe too much to our parents when we are not with them. It's time to stop and go home.

Although I didn't communicate much with my father, he was really my role model now, and I always told my son: "Grandpa is very powerful." "I would tell him stories about grandpa when he was young, and I would tell him how much grandpa loved him. I hope he understands that we are all sons of farmers, and we all have the blood of great farmers. Father is the backbone of a family, although the body is no longer so strong, but for the sake of the family he has never conceded defeat, nor has he stopped.
