The deep love between father and son

The bones in Lin Qiang’s leg have completely grown back, and the doctor said he can be discharged from the hospital tomorrow. When he thought about it, he had been hospitalized here for two or three months. Thanks to the careful care of the doctors and Liu Fang and other nurses, he rarely saw each other after returning to the rig. If he left quietly, Liu Fang would definitely know about it. If you complain about yourself, you should at least say hello as a courtesy. So he came to the nurse's duty room, said goodbye to Liu Fang, and asked Head Nurse Liu to sit with several doctors and nurses.

Liu Fang smiled: "How much money do you have to treat us? Let's forget it. Besides, it's our responsibility to take care of you!"

"I really want to treat you." You guys, if you don’t go, it’s too disrespectful!”

Nurse Xiao Fang smiled and said: “Captain Lin, please invite all of us to go, or will you invite the head nurse alone?”

"Of course, everyone is invited!"

Liu Fang said: "Okay, we have accepted your wishes. I will tell them later and you should stop being so polite!"

"Okay, I'll make up for this debt later." Lin Qiang said and walked out of the nurse's room. When he came outside the door and saw no one in the corridor, he looked very serious and said to Liu Fang who was following him: "When I have the opportunity later, I will definitely treat you alone. You can eat whatever you want. I will never be ambiguous." !”

Liu Fang teased: “Don’t just say nice things, I want to eat abalone, can you afford it? If you have a chance to come to the hospital in the future, don’t forget to come here and take a look!”

"Ha, whoever invites you to eat abalone, include me!" Xiao Fang poked his head out of the door and asked with a smile.

"Eat, you know how to eat." Liu Fang tapped Xiao Fang's forehead with her hand, then turned to Lin Qiang and said, "Okay, hurry up and leave!"

"Okay, goodbye. If you have a chance, come visit our well team. I'll stew wild rabbit meat for you!" He stretched out his hand and said. She smiled and shook it, "Okay, it's a deal!"

After breakfast the next morning, Lin Qiang completed the discharge procedures and said hello to the doctors and nurses on duty, but did not say anything to him. The people from the well team said that there weren’t many things anyway, so they just packed up and returned home.

After Master Lin saw his son, he asked with concern: "It's all good, won't there be any sequelae?" Lin Qiang looked very relaxed, jumped twice on the spot, and said : "It's okay, everything is fine!" "That's okay, that's okay. I'm relieved. I saw your mother in my dream last night. She knew that your leg was injured, so she told me... "Master Lin said, actually choking up. "Dad, look at you, I'm fine. I'm fine. Why are you still upset? Okay, okay, dad, your son is still as strong as before. Really, don't worry. Got it!" Lin Qiang hurriedly consoled him. Master Lin also laughed, "As people get older, their eye sockets are shallower, and they are prone to nostalgia... Forget it, let's not talk about it! Son, you have a rest first, I'll buy some food, and I'll cook when I get back!" After that, I happily went downstairs with the vegetable basket in hand.

After Lin Qiang watched his father go out, he began to clean up the house, sweeping the floor, wiping the table and mopping the floor. When I was working hard, I suddenly felt a little thirsty. I picked up the thermos bottle and found that there was no boiling water, so I used a gas stove to boil water.

After a while, the house was cleaned up, the water was boiled, the pot was filled, tea was made, and we sat down to have a rest. Within an hour, my father came back from shopping.

Master Lin bought a lot of vegetables today. The ready-made ones include fried chicken with mushrooms, Qingdao ham sausage, soy sauce beef, braised pork intestines, spiced peanuts, shredded tofu, and some fresh vegetables. Usually, when the old man is at home, he only goes to the vegetable market to buy two or three kinds of vegetables, and walks back and forth. Firstly, he exercises; secondly, he saves the need for a tricycle; thirdly, he feels full, substantial, and good-looking (usually, alone) You don’t need to buy too much food, just get a vegetable basket. Otherwise, riding a tricycle with a handful of shredded tofu, two sticks of celery, and three potatoes on it is indeed a bit unsightly. As you get older, you have to pay attention to your image. Otherwise. , let the old guys who work together see him and laugh at him for being a vegetarian and wanting to be a monk. This joke makes people unable to answer and embarrassed to explain). But today, Master Lin went there by tricycle. This way he could go back and forth faster and buy more vegetables.

"Dad, why did you buy so many vegetables? You can't eat this meal at all. Are you really treating your son as a living food?" Lin Qiang said as he hurriedly took the things in his father's hands. "Not much, not much. I can't eat one meal and then another. You're usually not at home. This time you have to stay at home for a few days because of your injury before leaving... Hey, why are you so stunned? Bring it into the kitchen quickly, let's take it Hurry up and cook, are you hungry already?" Master Lin said and followed Lin Qiang into the kitchen.

So, the two of them cut and fried, and soon seven or eight dishes were put on the table. The father and son sat down, and Master Lin opened a bottle of Kong family wine. Lin Qiang hurriedly took it, filled it up for his father and himself, picked up the wine glass and said, "Dad, my injury this time has made you worry and tired, and there is no Spring Festival." Let me drink a glass of wine with you at home. Although today is not a holiday, this year is the Year of the Rooster. I would like to toast you a glass and wish you good health and all the best!"

Master Lin looked up at his son kindly and raised his hand. The cups touched lightly, "Okay, take a sip!" The father and son took a sip of wine at the same time.

Putting down the wine glass, Lin Qiang quickly picked up a chicken thigh for his father.

Master Lin blocked it with chopsticks, "You eat, you eat. Now is the time when you need to mend your legs. Eat these chicken legs. It will be good for your legs!"

Lin Qiang replied: "Okay, then I'll make up for it!"

The father and son chatted while eating and drinking. After a while, they drank half the bottle of wine. Master Lin said: "Okay, I won't drink anymore." "Don't drink too much for your injury. Let's eat!"

Lin Qiang replied: "Okay, let's eat!" He first gave his father a bowl of rice, and then gave it to himself. Also filled a bowl.

While eating, Master Lin suddenly asked: "Qiang'er, you have lived in the hospital for such a long time, nothing else happened, right?"

Lin Qiang was stunned, " What's the matter...It's nothing!"

The old man picked up a chopstick of stir-fried water spinach and asked while eating: "Your own affairs...how are you doing recently? Do you have any friends?"

Lin Qiang smiled: "Oh, that's it, I scared your son, what did I think?"

"That...that...you and head nurse Liu Fang What's going on?" Master Lin asked as tactfully as possible. After all, his son is so old and has been in a bad mood after the divorce. Although he didn't say it himself, there is no better father than a son. A father understands his son's heart best.

"Hey, what have you heard? We are just in a gay relationship!"

"In a normal gay relationship, her mother even called her home!"

p>

Lin Qiang blushed and asked nervously: "What did she say?"

"What did she say? I don't agree." Master Lin then briefly explained Cui Shuying's call. Said it again. Lin Qiang's lips were tightly closed and he couldn't say a word.

When Master Lin saw this, he said sincerely: "Son, Dad knows that you are very depressed after a divorce. You want to find a wife as soon as possible and start a family... Just listen to me first. Finished. As an old man, I can understand this, and I hope you will have a family soon and have a destination in life. But children, everything must be done based on fate. As the old saying goes, birds of a feather flock together. Your grandfather has been a working man all his life and has no destiny to be an official. Although I am a ministerial model worker, I am only a captain at the end of the day. Speaking of which, you are still the highest official in our family. We can't compete with those. The leader's children are not a kind of people who want to climb high and get married...I'm not saying that Miss Liu Fang is not good, it's just that if you want to fall in love with her, you can't do it. We can't let others look down on us!"

"Dad... stop talking, I know what to do!" Lin Qiang's eyes were full of crystal tears...

Some people may say, after all these years, I still interfere My son’s marriage is free. In fact, this is not really an interference. It is just the father expressing his thoughts for his son's reference. The decision-making power still rests with the son himself. If we really talk about it, the relationship between the Lin family and his son is extremely deep. It is not only a family relationship where blood is thicker than water, but also because they are both drillers who are connected heart to heart and pursue the same career.

In the few years when Lin Qiang was the captain of the well team, he spent two Spring Festivals on the drilling rig with everyone. Master Lin never complained about his son. Whenever he received a call from his son, he just said with a smile: Son, you can just go about your business with peace of mind. I take care of the family matters! Lin Qiang led the well team to carry out coal field operations on the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau. During the drilling construction, news came from home that the old mother was seriously ill. The brothers asked him to go home quickly and take care of the elderly. He thought about it over and over all night, and finally decided not to go back. He only sent 5,000 yuan to his family. He felt that the drilling rig had just been converted into a well team, and they were working far away from home. As the captain of the well team, he and branch secretary Li Yiguo worked together to build a team. The well team had a lot of work to do, and it was really difficult to leave, leaving Lao Li alone. There are so many people setting up such a big stall. After much thought, I finally had to write to my old father that the money was for a nanny to take care of my old mother.

Two months later, my father called and said that my mother had passed away. The old man’s biggest regret was that he could not see his son for the last time before he died. When Lin Qiang heard this, tears immediately filled his eyes and his vision became blurred. After he handed over his job to Li Yiguo, he got on the train and returned home with tears in his eyes, feeling eternal guilt for his mother. After the funeral of the old man was dealt with, after the "first seven days", Lin Qiang went to the team headquarters. Captain Zhu saw that he looked haggard, dark and thin, so he asked him to rest at home for half a month. Seeing that he was getting thinner and thinner, his father also advised him to take a good rest for a few days. In fact, Lin Qiang's legs are a little swollen, making it difficult to walk long distances or stand for a long time, but he is thinking about the drilling rig. At the critical moment of running casing, the drilling rig needs him, and the workers can't do without him.

On the tenth day Lin Qiang lived at home, he said to his father: "Dad, the drilling rig is in full swing now, and my mother has also passed the first seven days. I am always worried and afraid of giving birth." What's going on? I wonder how Lao Li and the others are doing these days?" Master Lin glanced at his son and said calmly: "Son, come back. Your mother is gone, and I am the only one in the family. If you are able to eat, move, and have no illness or disaster, you can go back with peace of mind. Even if your mother is still here, she will let you go back and work hard!" Lin Qiang choked and said: "Dad, then I will go back to the rig, you are the boss Take care, I forgive my son for not being able to spend more time with you!" Then, he turned around and knelt down to the portrait of his mother on the wall, "Mom, you told me the story of Yue Fei when I was a child. Serving the country with loyalty and filial piety has always been difficult to achieve both.

Today, the unfilial son kowtows to you and bids you farewell. I will come back to accompany you after work is over!" After that, he kowtowed deeply three times.

Two days later, Lin Qiang brought a huge Grief-stricken, he returned to the drilling team, his job, and the fellow drillers he spent time with day and night. As soon as he returned to the drilling team by train and car, his father called the construction site and asked him not to be too sad. , do your job well, and pay attention to your health.

Lin Qiang held the phone and couldn't say a word. He thought of his father's tearful eyes when he sent him out. With that affectionate gaze, in addition to respecting and admiring his father more, missing and feeling ashamed of his mother, he also felt deep guilt for his father. He knew that he was sad for losing his mother, and his father lost his wife. He is by no means less sad than himself, but he is comforting others. What kind of father can be as broad-minded, selfless and noble as his own father? No! My father is the best and most understanding father in the world...

From then on, Lin Qiang would think of his father's deep affection and love whenever he was out exploring and constructing at night, and his mother's love was like the sea. In addition to supporting his son's path forward in life with a mountain of love as deep as a mountain, his father also attached great importance to his own and his son's honor, and his lifelong reputation. This may have something to do with the influence of traditional culture and ideas he received at that time. It can be said that although the material life of my father's generation was not as rich as it is now, their spiritual world was very fulfilling during those hard-working years, and their hearts were full of revolutionary ideals for the economic construction of the motherland. And he struggled selflessly, dedicated himself, and worked hard. There were no holidays or Sundays at all. Sometimes he had to work even during the Spring Festival. My father said that it was called a revolutionary Spring Festival at that time, and as his only son, I couldn't let it go. He is disappointed and worried. He must work hard and achieve results so that his father who is still alive, his mother who has passed away, and all his relatives can be proud of him.

Thinking of this, Lin Qiang felt that it was impossible to agree to his father's request! He might as well take the time to call Liu Fang tomorrow and explain the matter clearly, so as not to cause trouble in the city again. , the impact is not good.
