The text of "The Boat of Father's Love" is as follows
? It must have been an experience in my dream last night. I just woke up!
? In the haze, my father and mother got up in the middle of the night to feed the silkworms... Every year when the cocoons were sold, I always followed my father. After selling the cocoons, my father would buy me loquats. Eat...
? I saw my uncle’s small fishing boat again. When my father sent me away from home to apply for and go to school, he always had to borrow my uncle's small fishing boat. He and his uncle rowed the boat to see me off. I brought rice to cook on the boat and slept on the boat at night, so I could save money on meals and hotels. We were not willing to go ashore easily, and the lesson of spending money to stay in a hotel was too profound. Once, my father and I stayed in the cheapest inn. I was woken up by bedbug bites in the middle of the night. My body was covered with big red bumps. My father was so distressed that he called the waiter and opened the mat to show him the bedbugs crawling all over the bed and the bumps on my body. The waiter said he had no choice but to pay more for a better room. My father was tempted, but even though I was young, I already deeply understood the difficulty of my father making money. He usually saves to the extreme and refuses to spend even a penny of his money. Anyway, I was bitten for half the night, and only the second half of the night was left, so he refused to spend any more money to change the house.
? In a daze, I was in the biennial temple fair again. It was indeed extremely happy to go and see this grand festival. I was very happy. I watched various actors rehearsing while walking and singing. Watch walking on stilts, see shrimp soldiers, mussel essence, cow heads, horse noodles... there are huge crowds of people, and the snack sellers are packed tightly, and there are all kinds of candies, snacks, chicken, duck, fish and meat. My father and I were both hungry. How greedy I was! But I didn’t dare and couldn’t bear to ask my father to buy it. My father brought rice dumplings from home and found a remote place where the father and son sat down to eat cold rice dumplings. After eating the rice dumplings, my father felt that I was too wronged, so he took me to a stall to eat a bowl of hot tofu curd. I asked him to eat too, but he just refused to eat. There were also many sellers of gadgets, including colorful paper pinwheels, cloth tigers, clay figurines, and bamboo flower snakes... Although it was impossible to spend money on gadgets, my father understood my reluctance to leave. He used a few pieces of glass and colorful confetti to paste a kaleidoscope. This was the only and most precious toy in my childhood. The ever-changing patterns in the kaleidoscope must be my earliest inspiration of abstract beauty!
? My father often said that if I should study well, it would be best to become a teacher outside in the future, so I never missed class. , don’t play truant. When I was in junior high school, my father would carry me to school when there was heavy rain and snow and the road was slippery. I leaned on his back with my schoolbag on my back and held up a large, sturdy butter cloth umbrella with both hands.
He tightened his trousers, put on a pair of deep spike shoes, lifted up the lower half of his cotton robe and tied it around his waist. The extremely long pink-green silk sweat scarf in his waist could be wrapped around his waist two or three times. It was his mother's dowry when she got married. Woolen cloth.
When I graduated from junior primary school, I was admitted to Eshan High School. If you want to live in Eshan as a boarding student, you have to pay for meals, accommodation, tuition and miscellaneous fees. Books are also expensive, so the family sells rice and pigs, and has to raise a lot of money every semester. Money was tight, but my family was willing to spend all their money on me. I took the money I scraped together to pay my tuition fees and felt very sad. My father sent me to school and made my bed. When he came home, I secretly cried. This was the first time I cried with real sadness. It was very different from the crying I did when I was acting coquettishly, crying when I lost my temper, or when I was fighting. It was a new taste in my life.
? My only magic weapon is to take exams, and I have never failed. I am going to apply for Wuxi Normal University again.
In order to save travel expenses, my father borrowed his family’s small fishing boat from my uncle, and he and I rowed the boat to take me to Wuxi. It was summer, so in order to avoid the heat, we sailed the boat at night. My father and uncle took turns rocking the oar and let me sleep in the small cabin. But I also couldn’t sleep well, because I was really aware of the seriousness of failing the exam, and naturally I couldn’t appreciate the poetic and artistic conception of a sky full of stars and a lone boat traveling slowly in the river at night. There is a clay stove on the boat to cook for yourself, and the boat doubles as a hotel and restaurant, saving travel expenses. But our boat didn’t dare to park near Wuxi Normal University for fear of being laughed at by other candidates and parents.
? God paid off, and his son passed the exam. When I was sent to school, it was still the same boat, and it was still my uncle and father who took turns rocking the boat. However, when my father was not rowing, he would seize the time to sew quilts for me, because my mother, who had been ill for a long time, had not been able to prepare my luggage. I looked out from the cabin, and my father's back, bending down and sewing, blocked my sight. However, the back figure in the cabin was particularly obvious and will never be erased! Not only the back figure always appeared in front of me, but also in Lu Xun's works The awning boat is always so kind to me. Although my uncle’s boat is only covered with old awnings, which are far less exquisite than the black awning boats in Shaoxing, my uncle’s small fishing boat is still so kind and unforgettable... When will I be able to use the pen in my hand, Just draw the little boat carrying father's love!
... When I woke up, my pillow was wet.
