My father’s touching words
You haven’t called home these days. Are you very busy? Good luck at home, don’t miss me! "Looking at the screen of my mobile phone, a warm feeling came to my heart. It occurred to me that I hadn't called home for several days. Facing my father's text messages, I felt self-blame and guilt, which made me, the eldest son, feel ashamed. .
My brother and I have been away from our parents all year round, which has undoubtedly become a concern for the elderly. My father and mother have been ill for many years, and there is a grandmother in her 90s at home. All this is not for our children. My brother and I would call home every week to check on the old man’s health and report on our work. Every weekend night, my father and mother would stay by the phone, waiting for us. Sound. It has become a regular habit for my younger brother to call home on weekends and nights. Because the military school has strict management, my younger brother can only take time off to call home on weekends. I don’t have a fixed time to call home. I can call my parents anytime and anywhere. . Sometimes I forget to call home due to busy work or carelessness. When I see my home phone number, I feel a little panicked and worried about something happening at home. What happened? Sometimes, I called home and my parents went to work in the fields, but no one answered the phone for a long time. I suddenly became anxious, thinking that something was wrong at home? Later, I retired my old phone. The mobile phone was given to my father. He felt like he had found a treasure. He fiddled with the mobile phone with his rough hands and said happily, "High technology is better. This thing is really magical. No matter where you go, you can make and receive calls at any time." "
While fiddling with the phone, my father said thoughtfully, "Didn't you say that the phone can write letters?" I told him that it was called "text message", and my father echoed: "Oh, text message." "He asked me whether sending text messages costs more or saves money than making phone calls. I said, of course it saves money. It only costs ten cents to send a text message. He said, it's really great. From then on, we will just send text messages. Exchanging messages? My father looked at me and asked tentatively. I promised that it would be no problem, but my father frowned and said, "You have no problem, but I have a problem. How can I send and receive text messages?" Yes, I don’t know how, you have to teach me. "This time the father actually became his son's "student". My father had only attended elementary school for a few years and could write beautiful handwriting, which was somewhat literate. He was a little unfamiliar with Chinese Pinyin. I started with "a, o" , e", I taught my father to read and write Pinyin, teach him how to choose homophones, how to use punctuation marks, how to send, how to check received messages, etc. My father put on his reading glasses and held the mobile phone in his rough hands. He was fiddling with it with a serious look, just like an obedient primary school student.
From then on, even if I forgot to call home, my father would never call me." Good luck at home, don’t miss me! "Send me a text message. Sometimes when I call his mobile phone, he will definitely hang up, and then send me a message telling me that he is watering the ground.
My father is introverted, shy, and not good at expressing himself. For his children My father never spoke out about his love and concern. A few years ago, when I was serving in the army, he would only express his deep fatherly love through letters. Now, my father has learned to write and send text messages on the screen of his mobile phone. The lines of words jumping like elves are old-fashioned and simple, warm and thick. I like to collect my father's text messages and taste the deep father's love.
