When I first appeared in the world, a clear ray of sunshine brightened my eyes and warmed my heart. That was my mother's happy smile. Under her care, I gradually grew from childishness to maturity.
Dad is a very strict person. In my impression, he criticizes me every day. Usually, I always go in one ear and out the other, and I have long been used to his strictness. It is precisely because of his sternness that I have been very afraid of him since I was a child. I have stayed away from him and even rejected him. I always think that my father doesn't love me. Therefore, I prefer to rely on my mother's side and enjoy the warm and delicate sunshine that my mother sheds on me.
That day, my mother went on a business trip, which made me, who had long been accustomed to relying on my mother, suddenly feel helpless. But my father didn’t come home for dinner either, which made me relieved. Because according to my experience, as long as my mother is not around, my father will always scold me. Usually, as long as he goes out to socialize, he will always come back very late, so I can feel more free.
With this mentality, I prepared dinner and did my homework. However, my father would call me almost every not long, asking me if I had eaten well, had a rest, had I drank water, was my homework done... I was so annoyed by the questions that I wanted to pull out the phone. Although I don't have the guts to do it, I can only deal with it casually and deal with it a few times.
But just after eight o'clock, there was a knock on the door. I was shocked that my father came back so early! He said he still didn't trust me.
When I came out of the shower, my father was already leaning on the sofa in the living room and snoring. Dad is a very good sleeper, and it is usually difficult to wake him up after falling asleep. When I went to hang clothes on the balcony and passed by the living room, I walked carefully for fear of waking him up. I also felt a little uneasy because every time my mother went on a business trip, my father would always ask me to sleep with him. But his thunderous snoring kept me awake. If I wake him up now, he will definitely force me to sleep with him.
But when I walked over, I still woke him up gently. I looked at him nervously. As if he noticed the unnaturalness in my expression, he hesitated and just said good night to me.
Back in the room, I thought about my father’s expression just now, and my eyes suddenly became wet. Although my father was very tired and had fallen asleep, he was still paying attention to me and paying attention to my steps.
At that moment, I discovered a familiar yet unfamiliar warmth. It turned out that there was a patch of sunshine that was always shining on me, but I didn't notice it and even blocked it out with an umbrella.
Although I discovered it a little late, I was glad that I finally discovered that faint ray of sunshine. I put down the umbrella in my hand that always blocked the sunlight unintentionally, broke the barrier, and opened my arms to my heart's content. Embrace that warm sunshine! In that warm sunshine, I thrive.
