Chapter I

It was a miracle that my father was finally alive after that catastrophe. Maybe it was the mother's cries in front of the hospital bed that moved the father, maybe the father still had many unfulfilled wishes, he didn't want to die, and he couldn't die. So, my father struggled on the line of death, and I tore with myself in a dream, and the result of tearing was that my father finally came back to life, so there was a miracle.

After my father fell seriously ill, it was like an old tree being hit by a sudden frost and snow, leaving only some dead branches and leaves, and his expression and spirit were not as good as before. But the roots of the old tree are still there, tangled in the ground, sucking nutrients, so there is life and old age.

In fact, the father is most relieved of his three children. Lin finally met after more than ten years, and on the surface, the father and son also forgave each other, the son understood the father, and the father understood the son. The father also knew that if there is a father, there must be a son, and it is precisely because Lin is too much like himself that his father is more and more uneasy about Lin. A lifetime of success, the experience of gains and losses, he has accumulated a stomach, he wants to say it to people too much, but who to say? After his father turned the corner, Lin returned to the army with his wife and children. My father had no objection to Lin returning to the army, the army was Lin's root, and he should return to the army, otherwise my father would feel very unsteady. Although my father still has a lot of things to communicate with Lin, but now that Lin is gone, he will leave when he leaves, and his father knows that there will be a chance in the future, since he has a chance, then he is not busy, and he will wait for the future to talk slowly. Didn't Lin come back after more than ten years? With this first year, there will be fifteen in the future. My father is full of confidence in cleaning up Lin in the future, and the relationship between my father and Lin has always been thought to be the result of cleaning up.

My father's life was full of ambition. He cleaned up Little Japan first, and after Little Japan surrendered, he began to clean up Lao Chiang, and after Lao Chiang finished cleaning up, his father entered the city, and then he began to clean up his mother. Mother is the hardest bone to gnaw on for his father, and he has cleaned up his whole life, but he has not cleaned up his mother properly. My father felt that there were many regrets in this life, so my father couldn't die, he had to live hard. He is alive, not only to continue to clean up his mother, but also to clean up Lin, Jing, and Hai.

Lin is already the head of the regiment. My father thinks that this is the result of his cleaning up, if my father didn't clean up the forest so much, can I have the forest today? No, absolutely not. Father said this in his heart. Lin still has a lot to clean up, but now his father is not in a hurry. My father was only in his early seventies at this time, and he believed that there would be a blessing in the future if he did not die in a great disaster, and he believed that he would have a lot of time to continue to clean up the forest in the future. Fortunately, Lin is now striving for the goals expected by his father. My father believed that Lin had become a regiment commander, and he would continue to work as a division commander and army commander in the future, and as long as he did not leave the army, my father would feel very down-to-earth.

Father put Lin down for the time being, left it there for a while, and he began to look at Jing again. It stands to reason that among the three children, the father likes Jing the most, not only because Jing is a girl, because since he was a child, his father has always felt that Jing is the most like his father from the inside out. My father was proud and proud of this, and at the same time, because Jing was a girl, my father also had many regrets. If Jing wasn't a girl, he would let Jing continue to work in the army, inherit his unfulfilled wishes, go forward, carry on the past and forge ahead into the future, and his father would definitely have a harvest. Because Jing is a girl, when her father looks at Jing again, he has many limitations. In his father's experience, he did not know of any woman who was a battle-hardened general in the history of our army. Since Jing can't become a general, his father doesn't have higher expectations for Jing. Anyway, Jing already has a military resume. After Jing returned from demobilization, she became self-taught and became a judge. But Jing doesn't seem to like her current work as a judge, sitting in the courtroom every day, and she feels pampered. So Jing felt that the current kind of work as a judge, from form to content, was very inappropriate for her. She was looking for an opportunity to leave her current job and find a job where she could better use her talents. Jing had already communicated this idea with his father, and was positively affirmed by his father. At that time, my father said: Girl, take a look slowly, see what is more suitable for you, what people want to do in this life is a happy life, and his father doesn't worry much about Jing at work, what he worries about is Jing's emotional life. Jing is already a *** girl, and her boyfriend has seen one after another, but none of them she can see. That police officer Cheng Dong is the one who is closest to Jing's ideal. From temper to temperament, Jing seems to have accepted it, but it can't make her father completely satisfied, and she can't make Jing completely and completely dead. Cheng Dongquan is not as tall as Jing, and when the two stand together, Jing often has a feeling of examining him, so the corners of Jing's mouth are often drooping, not a very happy look. Jing's idea is that if there is no real suitability, the kid surnamed Cheng will be fine, but Jing is still unwilling. She is pursuing, she has always believed that there is no good man anywhere in the world.

Father talked to Jing about Jing's emotional issues once.

The father said: "Girl, wow, you are not too young, when are you going to pick wow?"

Jing said: Dad, I didn't pick it, it's just that the person I really like hasn't appeared yet.

When Jing said this, there was a faint pain in her heart, her beautiful first love had already happened when she was in the army. Not long ago, the first love that made her worried and lingering finally came out and the dust settled. Seeing his former first love, it has long been a different kind of thing, and it has a different ending. In the face of the facts, what else can Jing say? She drew an end to her first love in her heart, which can be regarded as a summary of herself. Turn grief into strength, what to do and what to do.

When my father saw Jing say this, he said distressedly: Girl, what are you looking for? If you name it, your mother and I will find it out for you.

Jing said again: Dad, don't say it. I'm looking for a man like you, who is above board, who dares to love and hate.

When my father heard this, he had no words for the time being, but his heart was extremely complicated, and it could be said that he had turned the river and the sea upside down. Jing's unintentional words moved his father. Moved by the emotion, my father turned his back and wiped the tears from his face. This sentence makes my father down-to-earth and not steady, but the down-to-earth thing is that Jing has grown up and already has right and wrong in her heart, and this kind of right and wrong is unswerving and categorical. At the same time, the father still feels a little proud, for himself and for his daughter. Mother and father were united, and all their lives complained that their father was bearded and robbed her, and then for so many years, they all came over in quarrels. She couldn't get used to her father's this, and she couldn't get used to her father's that, which made her father often angry. Although they are old, they have been running in for a lifetime, and when they are old, there are fewer such quarrels, and they already know that no one can do without the other, but after all, they are two people with different temperaments, and it is impossible to achieve unity or the kind of tacit understanding that people say. The days still have to go on with pimples.

The reason why my father felt unsure about Jing's words was that Jing was a girl of *** few years after all, and it was definitely not a matter to drag it out like this. Father didn't expect that his influence on Jing would be so great, and Father didn't know if it was a good thing or a bad thing. So my father was Jing's emotional event, and his heart was always hanging.

Father's biggest worry and fire should be the sea. Hai is a kid, my father has never liked it since he was a child. There are many reasons why my father doesn't like the sea, but the important one is that the sea doesn't look like a man at all, he locks himself in the house all day, and after doing his homework, he reads novels and listens to music, and often tears when he reads and listens. When I was a child, my father once carried the ears of the sea and said: Can you be strong and be like a man?

After all, doing and doing, it doesn't work at all. Only then did my father believe in an old saying, the country is easy to change, but the nature is difficult to change. It's impossible to change a person. Just as a father changes his mother, or a mother tries to change his father, as a result, no one changes anyone, they still exist independently in real life.

Hai's personality is too much like his mother, according to his father's words, Hai has grown into a young man, and the girls chirp, very boring, sentimental. My father attributed this result to the fact that Hai was reading idle books, and he had a lot of idle things in his head, so he thought about some things that were out of tune. My father never read those idle books, he couldn't read them even if he wanted to, and he couldn't read all those words. So he only reads the newspaper, and the news in the newspaper is convinced by his father, and his father thinks that it is true and credible, there are not so many twists and turns, there is one to say, and there are two to say, which is like his father's personality.

This concept of father influenced my father's appreciation of television. When my father watched TV, he only watched news broadcasts and weather forecasts. What TV movies and romance dramas, my father thinks it's, made up blindly, and he never watches it. If you occasionally see your father watching TV, then he is probably watching sports programs, and his father's favorite things to watch are football games and boxing. My father likened these two kinds of games to men's wars, soccer matches were positional battles, and boxing was heads-up battles, and my father liked this kind of fights between men.

Father was troubled by the problem of the sea, and now my father has to devote all his energy to cleaning up the sea.
