If life is only as first seen, what is the autumn wind and sad fan.

"Dad!" As soon as Ma Hualong entered the ward, he saw Ma Jiaju leaning against the head of the bed, his eyes staring out of the window blankly. It seems that he has been in this position for a long time.
Although it is a large three-person room, the other two beds are empty, so the ward is empty and large.
"Peng Peng, come, come, come."
"This is my legendary dad." Ma Hualong introduced me to the man in front of me who was leaning on the hospital bed.
When I looked closely, I was a little surprised, although I had a general outline of him in my heart, the man in front of me was completely different from what I had imagined of him before. He looked very old, he should have looked like he was in his fifties, and he didn't look like a man in his forties at all. The hair fell out severely, and only a few short gray hairs were sparsely and stubbornly retained. The face is quite clean, the beard is not shaved, the face looks very thin, perhaps because of the high nose bridge, it seems that the two eye sockets are a little deep, and when I saw Ma Hualong coming, my spirit suddenly became energetic.
"This is the teacher Wang Nai Wang I told you about, do you know each other?" Ma Hualong introduced me to his father.
"Hello." Seeing that it was inconvenient for him to lie on the bed, I took the initiative to stretch out my right hand. "We should have met, but I didn't expect you to change a little bit."
Actually, I met Ma Jiaju, and he came to a parent-teacher meeting two years ago, and it was the only time.
"Hello, hello. Yes, yes, I went to a parent-teacher conference. Come, sit, sit. Ma Jiaju looked very enthusiastic, "Peng Peng, Ao, is Hualong, his nickname is Peng Peng, and he told me about you." You are very kind, you love your students very much, and you are very concerned about Hualong, I am here to thank you! "Holding my right hand with both hands, I looked a little excited.
"That's what I'm supposed to do, who made me a teacher, don't you say?" I sat down in a chaperone chair by the window.
"I know it's not easy to be a teacher, but not all teachers are as good as you."
"You're complimenting me too much."
"I definitely don't mean to exaggerate here, if it weren't for you, how could we Peng Peng be admitted to such a good university, so if we can have him today, how can our family produce a college student?"
"This is all your child's own struggle and hard work, and I just helped him." I didn't expect him to praise me so well, it made me a little embarrassed.
"Alright, alright. You're welcome. "I was a little embarrassed to see me, so Ma Hualong hurried over to help me out.
"Dad, look at what good things I brought you." Ma Hualong took a fruit basket, opened it with his hand, removed the fruit on it, and revealed a bottle of Niulanshan Erguotou and two packs of white generals.
"Good boy, you still know your dad best." The father patted his son lightly on the head.
"Drink less, smoke less, quit slowly, and finally don't drink or smoke." Ma Hualong looked at his father and commanded with a serious face.
"Yes, yes, but you can't let me quit all at once." While arguing, Ma Jiaju took out a box of white generals and untied them, and took out two of them, "Teacher, do you also draw one?" ”
"No, I'm quitting, thank you." Less than half a year after I quit smoking, I didn't dare to do it again, "What are your symptoms?" ”
"Diabetic foot due to hyperglycemia."
"Then let me say something that might upset you, you can't drink and smoke anymore, it will make the condition worse."
"I also know that the doctor has repeatedly instructed and emphasized, but after decades of habit, it can't be said that you can quit." Ma Jiaju felt a little embarrassed, quickly changed the topic, turned his face to Ma Hualong and said, "You can peel an apple for your teacher to eat." ”
"Okay, I'll cut one for you later."
"You're welcome, I don't really want to eat, really." I say.
"Okay, shall I make you a cup of tea?"
"No, really. We came together, and you know I'm not thirsty, and I'm here to listen to stories. ”
"Okay then." Ma Hualong spoke, rubbing his hands on his legs, "Let my father tell you the story behind." ”
