Chapter 68 night talk with father

My father and I felt we knew and got close to each other when I was a sophomore in high school. Once, I went to live in our forest farm with my father. I slept with my father and talked at night by candlelight.My father talked to me about how he was full of ideals in his youth, and he came to the mountain alone to open up the 470-jia mountain. He said: "Just under this bed where we sleep, many snakes crawl in in winter and hibernate coiled. In the middle of the night When you get up to urinate, you have to lean on your feet so as not to step on the snake." My father told me: "The most important thing for young people is hard work and courage."

That night, my father and I talked for a long time before falling asleep. I was very touched when I woke up, because I had never talked with my father for more than an hour alone, let alone slept together. In our parents' generation, due to their lack of education, traditional Chinese and Japanese education made them serious and not good at expressing feelings, there was often a generation gap between us and we could not understand and get close to each other. After 30 to 40 years of hard work, parents of this generation are able to get closer to their children, but because they are busier, they have less time.

It has been more than 20 years since I was in high school, and I often miss the scene of talking with my father at night by candlelight. Unfortunately, my father has passed away, and I will never have that kind of happiness again. We should always cherish the time we spend with our parents and our children, because the good times are fleeting!
