He listened to my thoughts, the silent child, said: "graduation, you like fun to play with. Okay dad, earn enough to you to go to school, do not even think about." In fact, the situation at home I clear all pointed to the father's point of wages, every month stretched. However, I have not heard him, find a company that can accept their own construction sites.

My one, watching transcripts hearts happiness. -

Noon I Jianbu got home, my father was doing quietly on the sofa smoking mouthful. He saw me, and quickly stubbed out a cigarette, stood up and asked my grades. I told the teacher that the very good results, the ecstatic father listened to, actually once again I am treated like a boy hugging his mouth with both hands stretched out the rough crack: "Good, good, good, Dad know you are the best, and did not let them down ah. "Then the father told the mother to cook a few road dishes, his house took out a bottle of liquor, and I know that is the weekdays reluctant River collection over years of wine. The father opened the bottle of liquor, carefully pour a full glass or two of concern, saying: "Come on, today we Yeliang good to drink a few glasses!" I took the father handed me the cup of the wine in one gulp. -
