Photographing my father.

In April, the grass grows long and the flowers leave the water. Time flies, and inadvertently, my father has left for the fourth year.

For four years, I missed my father all the time. Every time I go home, his voice and smile will emerge in front of my eyes, feeling that my father is still by my side.

Two years ago in the spring, I returned to Liu Wang from Langya. The reason for going back to my hometown is simple. I came back to be with my mother.

In many people's eyes, I am said to be filial. Actually, I'm paying my debts.

Since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety can't be satisfactory. I have been in the army for sixteen years, and I have no regrets in my youth. Thank your parents for their nurturing and support, bid farewell to the army and go home. My parents are old and want to spend more time with them, but God is not attached to them.

My father passed away after a year of pain. Mother instantly aged a lot, and she used her work to relieve the pain of missing her father.

Parenting seems easy, but for a woman over 60 years old, it is actually a very hard work.

A few years ago, in my hometown, with the arrival of enterprises such as blueberries, cherries, Chinese herbal medicines, Atlantic potatoes, flowers and seedlings, it became a trend for farmers to farm at home.

Mother goes out early and comes back late every day, working in the park. She was accompanied by several villagers in the village, some in their fifties and some in their sixties. This is the situation in the countryside now. Young people have entered the city, and elderly villagers are waiting for the "old" village, and the cultivated land is getting less and less. On the contrary, migrant workers in their sixties and seventies have become the main force.

My father is a diligent man. If he were alive today, he wouldn't steal time. In the eyes of my father's generation, they were born to work and could not be idle. Now, whenever I see the busy figures of people my father's age in the village, I will miss my father.

Born in the countryside, grew up in the countryside and ended up in the countryside, which is the common fate of most parents. They never complain. The development of the times has given our fathers new hope. They all hope that our generation will live a good life and not farm all their lives like them.

"If you don't know martial arts, you will arrange to dig at home." This is what my father always said. Facts have proved that my father has been dealing with the yellow land all his life, and there are many farmers who have been with the land all their lives like his father.

The times are progressing and the countryside is developing. It depicts the grand blueprint for rural revitalization, and Liu Wang, the hometown of the municipality directly under the Central Government, is also quietly changing. Nowadays, land transfer has become the expectation of many villagers. But it is inevitable that a few so-called "bosses" are disgusting and painful, which makes farmers flinch.

People are old, the land is barren, and the ruins in the corner have left a mark of history, but they can't stop the reincarnation of leaving their homeland.

Living is the greatest happiness.

Companionship is the best gift.

I took off my military uniform for the first time and spent a complete Spring Festival. I found a new job with the joy of the new year. When everything was about to move forward, in this early spring, my father found himself seriously ill.

I feel that the sky is falling, and I dare not tell my parents about this disease. I believe many people who have had this experience feel the same way.

Go to hospital. Liu Wang, Jiaonan, Langya, always running around at 3: 00, no matter how tired it is. It can reduce father's pain and prolong his life as much as possible.

Late stage. In fact, what people are most afraid of is hearing this word. Fortunately, my father didn't know his illness until he died, because he had the right to know.

A year seems long, but it's really short.

The year with my father, in retrospect, is really a pity. I can't stop the clock and I can't make my father extend more time.

I am very lucky. God gave me time to accompany my father, although it was only a short year.

Although hospital treatment is very important, I am still willing to take my father out for a walk when his body allows, and don't leave any regrets. Let go of your mood and have fun together. Dongying on the Yellow River, Shanghai on the Yangtze River, Jiangyin at the end of the river, Huaxi Village, the first village in China ... The most important thing is to show my father where my son used to be a soldier.

My father has been gone for four years, and it always feels like yesterday. My father is not talkative and likes drinking tea and smoking. Like an old cow, he worked hard and cultivated the six acres of land all his life. Now, my father is gone, and mountains and rivers are still there. Years have aged the faces of generations, but the yellow land under my feet has not changed. Revitalizing the countryside and drawing a blueprint have a long way to go.

It is the ardent expectation of most parents that children will go out of the countryside and go to the city for better development. As time goes by, the countryside changes gradually, the house is empty, the land is idle, parents are old, and children are not around. ......

On holidays, the elderly have birthdays and weekends off. I often go home to have a look. Haha, drinking tea, eating and even smoking a pack of cigarettes can make parents happy for several days in ten minutes.

When I miss my father, I will cherish the present and spend my old age with my mother. Health and happiness are the source of happiness. I sincerely wish all parents in the world healthy and happy every day, and don't be too tired to let "making money" drag down the cost of the body; Children should not be too busy, let "busy" occupy your precious time, spend more time with them, and let the elderly have a happy old age.
