C40 Chapter 40

On the ninth day of Balls and Yusuf's disappearance, the fishing ship carrying Gido and Yusuf was never found. Days passed. The chances of Balls and the others surviving became increasingly slim, and I could strongly feel that people's moods became heavier and heavier. I still insisted on going to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to gather information every day. I discovered that. . . Everyone's expression became even more solemn, and before I could ask. . . They would all shake their heads and not say anything else.

I didn't expect that before the news of Balls and Yusufu could arrive, I would wait for the bad news of my father's death.

That day, I went to the post office to collect a letter. I received a letter from Lu Shuqin. I haven't received a letter from Lu Shuqin for quite some time. I calculated that. . . It would take about ten days to send a letter from Jido to China, and it would also take ten days to send a reply from home. Twenty days to come and go. The first few times, I always get a reply from Lu Shuqin on time. It was only a day or two apart. This time, Lu Shuqin's reply was delayed. I got anxious. I guessed that there might be a problem with the post office. Or something happened at home. I hope everything is fine at home. Guests live in foreign lands as foreigners. For someone like me, Being safe at home is the greatest comfort to us.

There are two things that I am most concerned about when I go abroad this time. One is my son going to college, and the other is my father's health. My son is quite capable. He got what he wanted and got into a science university. In our Zhong family, I am the first university student. He was the second. The day I received the news, I was very happy. I drank a few more glasses of Jido's coconut wine.

As for my father, I hope that he can live healthily for a few more years. Enjoy a good life. My father spent his entire life in the mountains, working hard all year round to get sick all over his body. A few years ago, His father had been hit by the wind once, but luckily it wasn't serious. But his body was obviously much weaker. Before leaving the country, I brought Lu Shuqin and my son back to my hometown to visit my father and mother. I haven't seen you for more than a year. My father has obviously aged and his waist has become even more bent. He was even thinner, and his spirit was much weaker than before. I want to take my father to the city to see a doctor. My father refused to let me go, and it would be useless even if I said so. And it would be a waste of money. Father has a stubborn temper, I can't convince him. Before leaving my hometown, I told Eldest Sister to take my father to see a doctor. That time, I left my hometown with an ominous feeling. I was worried that I would never see him again.

To be honest, every time I received a letter from Lu Shuqin, I was both happy and worried. Needless to say, I was worried about my father. This time was no exception. I couldn't wait to open the letter. I didn't expect my worry to be confirmed. Lu Shuqin told me in the letter that. . . Father passed away. Before her father left, he kept saying that he wanted to see her again. Lu Shuqin said, My father is in critical condition, so she didn't dare to tell me. . . Even if she told me, I wouldn't be able to go back. She took Xiao Song back to her hometown once. She let her grandfather and grandson meet.

Lu Shuqin was right. I'm guarding a person's embassy, so I can't leave. I left, The embassy was about to close. If I didn't come to Gido, I could have gone back on vacation. That way, I could at least see my father one last time. I keep feeling that. . . A father and a son should have a life meeting face to face, and don't need to say much. They didn't even need to say anything. Perhaps they only needed to meet face to face, and look at each other. One hand gesture, they would be able to complete the life transition between two generations of people. Now, Such an opportunity has been lost forever, and I will never see my father again. I know. . . Father must have left with regret. Similarly, I also regret not being able to see Father one last time. I can't send father off for the last time. My father's regret is also my regret. . . It is my regret for the rest of my life.

I don't know how I got back to the embassy. The blondie shouted and pounced over. Usually, I have to say a few words to him. Touch him a few times. This time I ignore it. I shut myself in the room. The moment the door closed, My tears kept flowing down. I simply let myself be completely indulgent for once and cried bitterly for once. I shed tears for my entire life. Because I was emotional, because I felt wronged. . . Because of everything else, but I've never cried like this before. After crying, I think I should do something to say goodbye to my father. Being in a foreign land, I can't go to my father's grave to pay my respects, and there's no one around me who can talk. Entrust my grief to my father. After thinking for a moment, I took out a family photo album from the album I brought. Looking at the photo, I lit an incense stick in my heart and put my hands together. I silently spoke to my father in my heart.

Father, I was unable to see you one last time. I think you will understand and forgive me.

When I'm alone on the island, I often think of my father. My father is smart and capable, He is recognized as a good worker in the village, not only does he know how to do farm work, but he also knows how to do farm work. He was also a good hunter. Not only did he know how to work as a carpenter, but he also knew how to work. He was the one who repaired all kinds of farming tools, and he was the one who made all the furniture in the house. He even knew how to carve flowers and birds on the furniture. The neighbors often invited him to make furniture. I think. . . The reason why I was able to become a Jack O'Fallriver, a multi-faceted man. . . Without a doubt, it was because I inherited his genes. "Fake countryman" Brian was often surprised that I knew all kinds of manual work, he would. I will all, even if he won't, I will too. There were a few times when Brian asked me, Where did you learn your craft from? I said I learned it from my father. Brian was skeptical. What I said might be a bit exaggerated, but my fighting ability is definitely from my father.

Am I right, father?

I am the first university student from the Zhong family. I didn't think of it myself, and neither did my father. My father has never been to university. He can't read much. The day I walked out of the mountains, my father said that he would send me to the county no matter what. At that time, there was no road in the mountains. There was no road, so there was no car. We could only walk along the rugged mountain trail. It is more than 20 miles from the mountain village to the county town. Along the way, my father helped me carry a simple luggage bag. We silently walked. We didn't say anything. Actually, I've never spoken much to my father. But we know each other the most, we know each other the most. I often think. . . Father and son should have a kind of innate tacit understanding, and this kind of tacit understanding doesn't require words. Before boarding the bus, Father still didn't say anything. I said goodbye to my father, I said. . . I'm leaving. My father waved at me and only said two words. Let's go.

Father, yesterday. . . Ambassador Juhua called me and told me about some work matters. He also told my country that he had promoted me from a secretary to a Counsellor. From now on, I am Advisor-in-Waiting. I wanted to write you a letter today to tell you this news. I know, You never understand our level, what kind of attendant. . . Secretary, Counsellor. But for some reason, I'm still willing to tell you. I know, although you don't understand, But in your heart, you are happy. I think you should listen now. You must be happy too.

In the mountain, the father is in charge, and only the father is in charge. Only when the family was complete could the family be gathered together. Powers disagreed with me. He said that the people by the sea are also controlled by their father. For some reason, during a break in an activity. . . I chatted with Balls about my family. I just found out that Balls lost his father when he was in his early twenties. One day, Balls' father went out to sea to catch fish as usual and encountered a storm. He never came back. From then on, he supported this family. Compared to Powers, I'm already very lucky.

"Do you know?" Powers said, "The people here don't live long. Generally speaking, people who have passed 50 years old have a long life. When I was studying abroad, I read a very philosophical essay that says that parents are a wall between the Death God and the child. I think. . . That's right. My wall is long gone for me. I have long faced death. If the Heavens want our family's people again, then it will be my turn. "

" Don't say that. It's inauspicious to say that, "I said. I didn't think that Balls had such a side in his personality. Of course, I didn't expect that Balls would actually follow his father out to sea this time.

Father, I'm fine here, you don't have to worry. You don't have to worry about the matters at home anymore. You've been worrying for your entire life, and you're tired. It's time to rest. I will support this family. I will also block a wall of life for the Zhong family's descendants.

That day, I shut myself in the room and spoke to my father for a long time. I think I repeated many things. I have never talked to my father for such a long time.

In the dead of the night, I went out of the embassy. I went to the beach alone and didn't bring my blonde hair as usual. I knelt on the beach, facing the sea and facing the east, kowtowing three times.

Father, have a good journey. Don't worry, we will take good care of our mother, and we will definitely take good care of our Zhong family's descendants, letting them live happily, healthy, and promising lives.

I think that my father will definitely be able to hear my words from the sky.
