That's the way I love my dad

“Dad,we want to eat your dumplings!”

“ Dad, the tap is broken. Please help us fix it.”

“Dad ,You make some steam bread again tomorrow,I went to take some for my friend.”

“Dad, when are you going to the farm market ?We need some fresh vegetables. “

One day my neighborhood ask me”,why do you always like to make your father works? Don't you love your father? “

I said, “that's the way I love my dad. “

When my father was young, he spent many years in the Altai mountains And the Tianshan mountains. He was a lumberjack and a sheepheader. When he came back home from the mountains,my mother always quarreled with him. He prefers nature to crowds.

So he always keep silent.

Dad has no hobbies. He never dances in the square, playes chess and mahjong.

When father retired, he helped our siblings take care of the children. Now he lives in my younger brothers apartment. When my nephew went to kindergarten, he stared at home and watch tv all day.

My father likes simple life. He doesn't like to go out for dinner. He doesn't like to wear new clothes. So we dare not buy anything for him. He is afraid of wasting money. He is afraid of being useless for us.

If I invited him to dinner, he always say “no “,but I said ,”dad, the kitchen knife cutting vegetables is not good. Please help me sharpen the knife. “

Dad put down the phone. More than turn kilometers of road ,sometimes he take the bus ,sometimes he riding a shared bike to come at once.

At this point, dad would like to stay and have dinner with us. My husband and my father drink together.

Then I report to my father, “daddy ,your dumplings and the steamed are very good.”

My daughter said ,”grandpa, your dumplings are the best delicious in the world. “

My Husband said,”dad,I have a physiotherapy  Card, but I really don't have time to go. The money is not a refundable.”

Dad said, “Don’t waste any money. Let me go. Because dad did heavy work all his life. He has pain in his neck and shoulders. I took him to the hospital,But he refused to go for fear of spending money.

My husband does better than me.

Several days ago ,my father sent the noodles. I eat while loudly price,”It's very delicious!”

Dad smiled and said, “you do not learn to do ,one day when I'm gone, who will do it for you”?

I'm very sad, but I smiled and with a loud Voice ,”I don't learn learn.! I hope you live to be ninety and make noodles for me.”

Dad laughed.
