His wife died. Abandon him to live alone in the old house. Already 80 years old, apart from his inconvenient legs and feet, his body is still in good shape. When his wife was alive, there were still people who talked with him. When your wife is gone and you are the only one left in the empty room, you will feel particularly desolate. He has a daughter, but the daughter doesn't like him. He often put off coming to see him on the grounds that he was busy with work.
He is getting older and older. Terrified that there will be no one around when he dies.
But his daughter doesn't understand his heart. He knew that he owed his daughter too much.
There are four children in his life. Three daughters and a son.
But he is patriarchal. The third daughter died of illness when she was less than one year old. The second daughter suffered from a head injury due to an accident when she became an adult, causing her to suffer from mental illness. Crazy all day long, he felt ashamed to have a crazy daughter, so he sent his second daughter to other places to abandon him despite his wife's objection. Now he has only his eldest daughter and youngest son.
?Because of pampering his son in every possible way, his son went on the road of no return. Don't learn the good ones, learn all the bad ones. Robbery, gambling ended up in jail.
When he sat on the recliner, he recalled the first half of his life. The indebtedness to her daughter is increasing day by day. Especially the second daughter, whose whereabouts are still unknown.
Sometimes I heard neighbors say that the second daughter came back, chanting the names of her parents. But she failed to return home safely. She couldn't remember where her home was, and was tricked away by someone with malicious intentions.
At the beginning, he was the one who forcibly abandoned his daughter despite his wife's advice and pleas. It was his father who failed in his duty. Now when he is old, he misses his second daughter. If she hadn't gone crazy, she should have found a good man to marry. will be very happy.
His son's misfortune was also caused by him. Since he was a child, he has been responsive to his son's requests. Blindly pampering and pampering him made him become lawless and worse.
The only remaining eldest daughter, life is not much better. Because she lacked the care of her father since she was a child, she married a man ten years older than herself when she grew up. He finds it unacceptable.
Feel very sad. Why did his children break his heart one by one. Especially the son who asked him to give all his sincerity, he gave him everything, but he failed him.
My wife is gone. It seemed to take away all his thoughts. He lived in this old house for 50 years. He was the only one left in the crowded family of five back then, and the sunset in the sky felt far away.
A portrait of his wife hangs in the living room. That smiling face is something he will never forget. And he did not give his wife a happy and stable home.
When I first got married, my family was not well off, so I could only eat pickled vegetables and steamed buns. The child was crying with hunger, and there was no extra money to buy a biscuit. Because his wife couldn't give birth to a son, he gave her a lot of face. He yelled at the top of his voice for every little thing.
He knew that his wife had been sad for a long time because of the departure of the third daughter. Many times I saw her cry behind closed doors.
But he did nothing.
The accident of the second daughter was a fatal blow to the wife. The physical condition was getting worse and worse, until her son's accident completely broke the last straw of her life, she passed away, holding his hand tightly when she died, and said with the last strength.
"Pleasepleaseplease findfind ourour little daughter"
That was the last last word. It is also the words that have been squeezed for half a lifetime. His tears flowed down. Holding his wife's already cold hand and not letting go.
He began to have strange dreams. I dreamed that my second daughter was standing in the courtyard with a ponytail and calling him.
"DadDad"
He ran frantically into the courtyard. But no one could be seen. He was lost in this dream.
Leaning on crutches, he went to the street to find the whereabouts of his second daughter. It has been lost for so many years, and now I don't even remember what it looks like. Maybe thinner, maybe fatter.
He is a lonely old man. In a person waiting to die.
The sun was shining that day. He felt very tired. I really want to sleep comfortably. So he moved the deck chair from the room to the courtyard. This took him a lot of effort. Almost every step I took I stopped to catch my breath.
Finally moved to the most comfortable place where the sun shines. He lay down comfortably. Slowly close your eyes.
But when he closed his eyes, what appeared in front of his eyes was the figure of his second daughter and his wife.
The second daughter kept calling Dad. His wife kept calling him, the child's father.
"hurry up¡"
He really wanted to follow them. They are so beautiful. He wanted to tell them about his depression and troubles. ??I want to say sorry to my second daughter. He will do his best to return her the fatherly love that needs to be repaid. But what did he suddenly realize?
He can't just leave like this, he still can't let go of his eldest daughter. Although the eldest daughter has always held a grudge against him.
He struggled to wake up.
When he opened his misty sleepy eyes. He stood up tremblingly and walked into the room. Find a pen and a piece of paper.
Put his passbook, real estate certificate and bank card neatly on the letter of confession to his daughter.
Lie down again.
He dreamed of his wife, his children, and they walked happily together on the street full of camphor trees. Their laughter echoed all around
A long-lost smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
He never woke up again. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
