Chapter 261: Father's Love (4)

(4) The power of words and deeds

My father can order delicious food at a restaurant of that grade, and his nose is particularly smart. Every time I go to a meeting in the provincial capital, I have to take me to eat a special dish.

Walking through those narrow alleys, almost in desperation, you will arrive at the legendary restaurant where "wine is good and you are not afraid of deep alleys". Those belly bursts, fat intestines, waist flowers, etc., which I don't usually eat, have special practices that make me admire. My father said that the plate was shoveled out of the pot by 18, and I specifically asked the boss if it was really only stir-fried 18 times, and the boss immediately asked my father to taste his new dishes again.

My father said that when he was admitted to university, he would take a car to take National Highway 108 and eat local specialties along the way, especially the fish from Ya'an, which was a must-try. Then he didn't do anything else. When I went back from winter vacation, my father had a meeting in the city and asked me to go back with him in a truck.

I thought he was trying to save money, but the day before departure, he invited the driver and his friends to dinner, and one meal was more expensive than two bus tickets, and I had to have a meal on the way. Sitting high in the truck in the middle of winter, watching the mountain road is particularly narrow and steep, and the cold wind is biting, I began to complain in less than ten minutes. The father just said: I really didn't expect it to be so cold!

At noon, the car walked along the Dajin River, it was warm like spring, and the vision was very broad, which was completely different from sitting in the carriage normally. The sauerkraut fish cooked in the riverside restaurant is freshly fished from the nets by the river and boiled in river water, which has a special taste. The deep-fried braised duck is particularly fragrant because it is a wild duck that grew up eating small fish and shrimp by the river. All the bones are crispy, but the meat is still tender.

I think that my father left the unit's car and waited for me; In order for me to eat delicious food, I can't take the bus, because the bus is slow, the time to eat on the road is short, and the place is not by the river. I complained all morning about the young driver's friend and the brother of one of my junior high school classmates, and they laughed at my dad and said that he shouldn't praise the chef for doing a good job, saying, "If you get used to them, you can't do them well, let alone what good these dishes are!"

But my dad still smiled good-naturedly, handed them a pack of cigarettes, and lit them in turn with a lighter.

We sat in the carriage again, and I complained about how my classmates could have such a selfish older brother who didn't know how to give up their seats to their elders. The father said that it is not easy for these children to drive, the road conditions are too bad and dangerous, and there is a friend sitting and chatting next to him to have the spirit that will not make mistakes.

I told my father that I would never ride in this kind of truck again, and he said yes, and he fell asleep with a shake of his head!

Later, I learned from my father to turn a blind eye to beggars but be kind to those who seemed to work impolitely, and when I saw a roadside stall, I had to stop and buy something when I had time, and I didn't negotiate the price.

My mother-in-law asked me to go to the morning market to buy groceries, because she asked her son what the price of the vegetables was, and how much money was spent in total, but Mr. Pei couldn't answer. I said it doesn't matter, if it's expensive, it's a sponsorship, and it makes more sense to give it to people who work hard than to beggars and liars. (Whatever the high-sounding reason, the fundraisers are just high-ranking beggars.) ）

I did not bargain for the decoration of my home according to other people's quotations, and I never stared at the work on the spot, and the construction period was delayed for a month, and the balance was paid at the original price. I even saw that the glass was cracked, and I pasted it with a child's sticker cartoon saying that there was no need to waste it. So it's been seven years, and the tiles in other people's bathrooms have been reinstalled twice, but my house is still in good condition, and there are no cracks on the walls.

My father is 71 years old this year, and I haven't taken him to eat dishes that I think are delicious, no matter where I am, he said on the phone that he can't go in that direction this year, and I'll talk about it later.

My father's words and deeds are a role model for me all my life.
