My dad is only fifty-two years old this year. It seems that he has been eliminated by society.

He has few friends, I usually don’t have gatherings or visit each other. Those old friends who played well when we were young, They all moved to the city after making some money. We only see each other a few times a year, Everyone only contacts each other when something important happens.

He doesn’t have a stable job. It’s all hard work. Harvest crops when the fields are busy; When I have free time, I go to the construction site to lay concrete. Although I don’t earn much, But it’s enough for the whole family to eat and drink.

He doesn’t have many social activities. No playing mahjong, no karaoke , no square dancing, No walking in the streets or alleys, no visits to relatives and friends, I just occasionally find a place to fish. one person.

I often think he is a lonely little old man, But he just enjoyed this loneliness.

In his world, The fish by the river, the grass on the roadside, and the sunset on the horizon are all more intimate than people.

He only lives in his own time zone.

Now he is over fifty years old, But I still don’t know much about this world.

He doesn’t know how to buy train tickets or air tickets online. He can’t tell the difference between the subway and the high-speed rail. He cannot understand mobile phone positioning and navigation. So he has never traveled to a few cities in his life. I haven’t seen many places of interest, mountains, rivers and lakes. He only likes to stay in a place he is familiar with — his hometown.

There are so many things that he doesn’t understand over the years. He doesn’t understand why young people like to drink milk tea. The brewed tea is obviously more fragrant;

He doesn’t understand why young people like online shopping. How can we rest assured when we can see but cannot touch;

He couldn’t understand why young people kept pets that were more delicate than people. Obviously, cats and dogs in rural areas are free-range.

He doesn’t understand why adults and children nowadays like to watch short videos. No one loves watching Xinwen Network as much as he does.

Many people and things change over time, except him.

In his life, I haven’t gone to school for a few years, No family background, I haven’t met any noble people, either. It’s all thanks to my calloused hands that I’ve been able to hold on until now.

He didn’t live the life he wanted to live when he was young; Nor did he become the adult he wanted to be.

He always said, He is a failure.

But I never feel that way.

Because he denied everything about himself, But he never denied me.

The exam scored 58 points, He said just do your best; When I first graduated, my salary was less than 3,000 yuan. He said take your time and don’t rush; After a love breakup, He said, it’s okay, life is still long.

He speaks very little and expresses very little. Can’t express love, can’t pour out my heart, But he did his best every time he was needed.

This is probably what many fathers are really like: Fight in silence and love in silence.

I have read a sentence before: “Only those who have been crushed by fate can understand the mercy of time.”

This is probably also a reflection of my father’s heart, After more than fifty years of ups and downs in life, Gradually I came to understand that living itself is a kind of compassion.

So I am no longer anxious to learn about new technologies, I no longer waste time maintaining so-called “interpersonal relationships”. He just wants to live comfortably in his own world.

Support the family well, Get your wife and daughter settled, Take good care of yourself, It is the best result in life.
