I was not born, I was born and I am old. Parents are "growing up", and we are not small anymore

My dad guiltily said to me for 100 bucks, "I'm sorry, I was sick for a few days and took your money." ”

My dad was a miner, and unlike the open-pit coal mines in the north, we had to dig holes here.

Some coal mining companies are very small, small bosses pull people to open, we call "small coal kiln", a hole not more than two meters high, diagonally straight to the ground, my deepest memory when I was a child, is the miners who rented in my grandmother's house, every morning with a white face, come back at six o'clock in the afternoon with a black face, I can call out my name when I leave, and when I come back, I can really only judge by body shape.

The miners' bodies are also polarized, either skinny or fat like a globe.

My dad belongs to the latter, in fact, he was also very handsome when he was young, but now he is more than one meter and six, and he weighs nearly 170 pounds. He often said recently, "I'm afraid I'm not in my current physical condition to survive 65." ”

For him, there is not only the problem of weight, but also the pneumoconiosis caused by years of inhaling a lot of dust underground. There is a Hunan Provincial Chest Hospital in Changsha, Hunan Province, everyone goes to the inpatient department of the second building to take a look, which is full of coal mine workers here, relying on drugs to maintain their lives, even if some have been retired for many years, you can still see the dark black dust from the wrinkles of their eyelids.

Miners can not see a way out of life, just like they face the world in the dark underground, the salary treatment has hardly changed, even at present, in 2020, my father's monthly salary is only about 2500, sometimes there is no salary, especially in the previous few years of restructuring, after the power plant signed a contract with the coal mine in the north, the local coal cannot be sold, and the miners often cannot open the pot for half a year, and strike every three forks and five.

In 2008, my mother hated my father for so many years, he couldn't even mix with a platoon leader, divorced, and when he left, he said in front of the two families, "He's incompetent, I don't want to live." ”

A month later he quickly found a man and remarried.

I followed my dad, and in my mind, he may indeed be incompetent, but he has never given up his responsibilities as a father.

That year, I was in the first year of junior high school, and my father gave all the money to my mother. The place where he worked was near my grandmother's house, my grandmother said a lot of bad things about him, my father really couldn't stand it, the trustee changed places, but the formalities did not come down for two or three months, and he could not pay his salary.

I lived in school, I was not motivated, at that time, my roommate's pocket money a month was about 500, my father would give 600, but I was extravagant, often 600 yuan did not arrive for half a month to use up, and then I asked him, he did not say a word to give.

One semester I was determined to go home and live, but my dad couldn't screw me and let me come back.

I remember that it was already winter, and he accompanied me to buy clothes, all of which went to Metersbonwe (forgive us for having only this kind of shop there is more grand), but in the small market, I wanted to buy a pair of leather gloves for 20 yuan.

He saw that my math scores were too poor, and finally went to the school to secretly stuff red envelopes for the math teacher to help me make up lessons. At this time, my mother came to ask for money again, saying how much she owed before, and my father was a faceless person, and gave her all the money that was hard to save in the card.

One day I came back from the make-up exam and suddenly found that the 100 pieces of pocket money in my drawer were missing, and when he came back in the evening, I asked him if he had a hundred dollars missing.

He said, "Son, I'm sorry, Daddy is sick, I'll take some money from your drawer and use it."

I asked him, "I've been sick for a few days, how is my health?"

He said, "It's been three or four days, and the doctor has prescribed medicine, and it's a little better."

I said, "Take it, I don't need any money lately."

When he walked out of the door, my throat was like a stuck fish thorn, and I had a long time, and the tears couldn't stop swirling in my eyes.

It was also from that day that I learned that the burden of the family is really heavy, so heavy that this man can't stand up straight, so heavy that he has not dared to find my stepmother today, so heavy that today he is in love, he must first ask the other party whether there is a burden and whether he has a job.
