    ?

    For my wife's exam, although I haven't been home much after my father was discharged from the hospital, one day was an exception, and that was my father's birthday.  My father's birthday is the twenty-fourth day of the fourth lunar month. Unfortunately, that day is not a weekend.  If it was the weekend, we (including the two children) would definitely all go back to our hometown to celebrate my father's birthday.  Because, after all, this is my father's first birthday after he was discharged from the hospital.  Besides, no one can say whether it will recur or not. It is possible that this will be the last birthday of my father.  Even without preparing for the worst, we knew it would certainly bring more joy to Dad when everyone went home to celebrate his birthday.  A happy mood is a good medicine to help father recover better.

    Unfortunately, that day was not a weekend.  We can't all "strike" or "strike" and go back.  The most important thing is that we don't want our children to miss classes.  We were worried that the two children would not be able to keep up with the main force.  So, in the end, we agreed that the two children must not go back.  Since the two children are not going back, someone must stay and take care of them.  However, at the special moment of father's birthday, there must be no one to go back.  So in the end we decided to have my brother-in-law and I as plenipotentiaries and rush back to celebrate my father's birthday.

    My brother-in-law and I shared a motorcycle.  We headed home early.  When I was on the road, I was somewhat uneasy, because I was afraid that my father would be disappointed, after all, we didn't all go back.  Along the way, I kept thinking about how to explain when I got home so that my father would not mind (we didn't all come back).

    Back in my hometown, when I met my father with a little trepidation, the expected disappointment, dissatisfaction and even blame did not appear on my father's face.  The father showed a look of surprise and surprise.

    "It's not the weekend, I thought none of you would come back!"

    Listening to my father's overjoyed exclamation, I knew that it was right for me and my brother-in-law to come back.

    "How can it be? Today is your birthday, we will make time to come back no matter what!" I don't know what kind of mentality my brother-in-law was at that time, but his reaction was much faster than mine, and he said to my father first.

    When my father heard this, although he didn't say anything more, I could see that the joy on his face grew stronger.  For a father who has always been known for his calmness and his inability to express emotions, such an expression of true feelings is already a very rare thing.  But it is precisely because my father can't help revealing his true feelings that I, who is very familiar with him, can feel the surging joy in his heart more deeply.

    This operation was a deep trauma to my father, both mentally and physically.  This kind of indelible scar needs the comfort of family affection.  My father's unexpected reaction made me realize how much my father longed for family affection at that time.  The father, who had always been as strong as iron, seemed to have become much weaker in the long-term torment of the illness.  At this moment, only the selfless care and help of relatives can make father become strong again.

    After returning to our hometown, my brother-in-law and I did almost nothing, but just quietly accompanied my father.  From the contented and happy smile of my father, I can clearly feel that my father does not expect his children to do much for him.  In fact, the father's wish is very simple, that is, as long as he can see his children from time to time.  At that time, my father was so easy to satisfy.  On my birthday, my brother-in-law and I were able to rush back to our hometown to be with him, and my father was already very surprised and pleasantly surprised.

    In the afternoon, when my brother-in-law and I were on our way back to the city, although my father still smiled and waved us goodbye, I could detect the disappointment hidden behind his stiff smile.  In fact, how much a father hopes that his children can always be by his side!  But the father knew that the children had their own families and careers.  The father doesn't want to let himself be a bondage to his children because of his body.  For the sake of his children, the father can only hide his reluctance and slight disappointment deeply in his heart.  Perhaps, this is the common sorrow of Chinese farmers.

    For a long time, as a big agricultural country in China, farmers have always accounted for the vast majority of the population.  Although the life of the peasants is not rich, their thoughts are absolutely simple.  They deeply understand the hardships of living with their faces facing the loess and their backs facing the sky, so they all hope that their children can spread their wings and successfully break free from the shackles of the land that has fed countless generations.  There is no doubt that the development of the market economy has provided these children with valuable high-flying opportunities, and many children of farmers have also successfully escaped the shackles of the land.  But after flying out, it is very difficult to fly back.  And the honest farmers, in order not to affect the development of their children's careers, often against their will, let their children run back and stay outside.? work.  Ever since, there have been tragedies of empty nesters "no one cares about" one after another in China.

    Although my sister and I live in the city while my parents live in the countryside, we live in the same place after all, so there are no so-called "empty nesters" in our family.  However, for me, now I have to face a difficult choice.  Should he go back to his hometown to accompany his father desperately, or should he cooperate with his wife to cope with the imminent exam?  The palms and backs of the hands are full of flesh. This is definitely a painful decision-making process.  But "two benefits are the most important, and two evils are the lesser", in the end, I still choose to support my wife's review sprint first.

    At that time, in my opinion, my father was recovering well, and there should not be much repetition and danger in the short term.  And my wife's exam is only a little over twenty days away. Without my own support, my wife will definitely not be able to pass the exam.  If you can't pass the exam, it will be difficult to raise your salary.  If it is difficult to increase the wages, then I have to be complained by my wife for a long time.  Conversely, if I fully cooperate with my wife, no matter what the final test result is, then my wife will definitely be moved.  In this way, after the exam is over, my wife will definitely do my best for my father with me without any complaints.

    Perhaps, you will also feel that I made a wise choice at the time.  But, I can tell you unabashedly that I regret it now.  It is precisely because of my decision that I lost many precious opportunities to accompany my father, and delayed the precious time to find Chinese medicine for my father.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
