Prose by Su Qing 苏青 750Words 2018-03-18
good father I remember when we had a father, the house was often gloomy.When my father came back, he always spoke viciously, and he didn't know who he was blaming.Mother swallowed her anger and worked hard while doing things, which made our children's family unhappy. Then, our father died, and we suffered financially.My younger brother entered high school when he was only ten years old. In order to save ten copper coins for the sailing fee, he lived in the school and was not allowed to go home for half a year.My family is in Bianjin Township, and a ship sails through Shiliu Town every day.The boss of the punting boat is a member of the tribe, and we all call him "Father Zhengcai".That father-in-law who is right is always sailing the boat for hours every day, and he always sees my younger brother standing at the school gate, shouting at him from afar: "Grandpa is right!"

"What's the matter with you?" Eunuch Zhengcai asked. "No." My brother shook his head.After a long while, he asked, "When will mom go to town?" Of course, Zhengcai father-in-law will not know when our mother will go to town, and when she can pass by my younger brother's school, maybe bring ten eggs or something to see him.The younger brother lived in the school and was homesick every day, so he came to Hebutou every day to wait for the boat.Although he couldn't just come back by the navigation department, as long as he saw Eunuch Zhengcai, as well as cousins ​​and clan uncles sitting in the stern of the cabin, he would be able to comfort his feelings a little.

Poor boy!The reason why he didn't come back every Saturday afternoon was not because he was afraid of ruining his studies, but because he wanted to save a dozen copper coins for the boat fare. ——By the time he came back from vacation, his body was already covered with white lice. Let’s talk about myself. When I was studying at school, I was quite the limelight, and I could speak conversationally, but I had never been the best man for others.The reason is not that there is no girlfriend to invite, but that he feels ashamed that he has no new clothes, so the best man refuses.Afterwards, I found out that the bride's family had sent the clothes on purpose, so I regretted it and cried for several nights. ——Now that my son and daughter are married, I will never have the opportunity to be a bridesmaid. Although I have new clothes, where do I go to show off?Poverty seems to be often related to the loss of a father, but it doesn’t matter; the most painful thing is that the father is not good, which makes the mother look sad every day. From then on, the boy loses interest in the family when he grows up, and the girl simply refuses to trust men when she grows up.They and their future marriage happiness have been shadowed since then.

Therefore, for the sake of the children's happiness, it is important to have a good father, otherwise, it is better not to have a father at all, and the mother must have a considerable professional income.
