That summer morning, she stood in the corner of the living room, watching her father tidy clothes in the room. Occasionally, he would turn around and say to her, "Haipei, you should be obedient and don't delay practicing the piano."

After a while, I remembered something: "Haipei, write or call my father when you are free." She bit her lip and said nothing.

Father walked to the door with a big box in his arms, then turned around and hugged her tightly.

Mother said coldly, "If you want to leave here, what can you pack at this time?"

He ignored his mother, just touched Haipei's head and said hoarsely, "Remember to write to Dad." Say that finish, don't look back.

The "drumming" footsteps in the stairwell drifted away, and Haipei's tears finally came down. Although her parents had a big quarrel for three days and a small quarrel for two days, she was scared to death, but she never imagined that this man who loved her since childhood would choose to disappear from his life one day.

She thought that as long as she obeyed and did well in the exam every time, the happy life of their family of three would reappear. But now, my father, as my mother said, "was fascinated by goblins and didn't want us both." For a girl of 10, what is more painful and resentful than being abandoned by her father?

The back of his father's refusal to leave has become a nightmare for Haipei's whole childhood. Soon, she changed from a little girl who can sing and dance to a taciturn "silly goose". I stopped practicing the piano and always looked at the sky outside the classroom in class, and my grades plummeted.

Mother was angry and tore off her piano score and said, "We are all enemies. My life has been ruined by your surname Wang." When mom gets angry, she and dad are tied together and scolded. Although she didn't want others to mention him, all his letters were thrown into the trash can at the school gate, but her surname is Wang, her daughter, which is a fact that no one can change.

That day in class, Hai Pei drew clouds on the book and rolled up the whole text one by one. Teacher Qu called Haipei to the office, but she still looked indifferent. Teacher Qu opened the drawer, took out a piece of chocolate and said to her, "The teacher knows that you are uncomfortable. Eating a piece of chocolate will make you happier. "

Looking at the chocolate in Teacher Qu's hand, Haipei's tears "snapped". This is her favorite snack. My mother refused to let her eat it on the grounds of tooth decay, but my father often bought it for her behind her back and said, "This is our little secret." Now, there are no secrets between her and her father.

After that, Haipei will get a piece of chocolate from Mr. Qu, no matter whether he made a mistake or did well in the exam. At that time, chocolate was so extravagant that Haipei couldn't bear to eat it once. If so, the sweetness will last longer.

When Haipei was in junior high school, her mother remarried and her stepfather was a Woodenhead. Look at her eyes, always showing some dislike.

After receiving his father's letter, Haipei took it home, read it and hid it in the innermost drawer. He came to see her under the banner of business trip, and she followed him out for dinner. She took everything he bought for her home and hid it.

She still refuses to write to him, although she misses him very much, but she can't express her thoughts in childish words like he used to travel abroad for a long time-the days when she was wanton in front of him are long gone.

But with the warmth of those letters, Haipei's life finally got on the right track. A few years later, she was admitted to the University of Finance and Economics in this city. After graduation, she found a good job in the bank.

Haipei was only 24 years old when the accident happened. Boyfriend Weining wants to start a company. She embezzled money from the bank and was sentenced to 15 years.

Father went to see her in prison, but she refused. He had to ask the church to bring her a long letter, which said: Haipei, there is nothing wrong with love, and a girl in love is bound to be a moth to a fire. Dad won't blame you for this. Just, don't give up on yourself, you still have a good life. ...

Haipei wrote and cried, 15. When he was released from prison, he was almost 40 years old. Where did he get a good life? Moreover, Weining didn't go to see her once after she went to prison.

Haipei started a hunger strike, but she kept silent and didn't even lift her eyelids. Mother came, crying and cursing, and remained unmoved until Weining appeared.

She looked at Weining, who was ashamed, and asked timidly, "Do you still love me?"

After a long time, Weining looked up and said with red eyes, "Haipei, you make a good transformation, and I will wait for you to come out."

Just like the chocolate that Teacher Qu gave her, this sentence gave her hope. She began to eat and fight for every opportunity to reduce her sentence.

Weining visits her every few months. Sometimes, looking at his clean white shirt, tied tie and combed hair, she really wants to ask him if he has another woman. It's just that she didn't dare to let the only hope in her heart break.

Haipei received many books and letters from her father. These letters didn't persuade her to make a good change. She just talked about the piano music she played and the peacock dance she danced when she was a child, as well as her favorite chocolate and those she got into 100. ...

These trivial memories take Hai back to his once happy childhood. Yes, how could she forget that her father was tall and handsome at that time, laughing and laughing; At that time, my mother was young and beautiful, gentle and virtuous; At that time, she was as happy as a little princess in a fairy tale.

My father said in the letter: "No matter what you become, you are my most lovely and precious daughter, and I will always be your father you can trust and rely on."

Haipei burst into tears at the thought of his father's forbearing and distressed eyes every time he visited him. This year, she only cared about her own pain and loss, but never thought about what kind of life her father lived outside the high wall. Although he left his wife and children when he was young, he was wrong, but who is not wrong? At that time, if life was not too bitter, my mother wouldn't be more and more bitter, would she? If I hadn't never found warmth and affirmation at home, my father probably wouldn't appreciate each other with that aunt, would he? And she, if not too eager for a warm home and a man who loves her, should not knowingly commit a crime, but ignore it for him?

At the age of 32, Haipei was released from prison.

My father came that day. Dressed neatly, he straightened his back: "Girl, come on, let's go home." The tone is very ordinary, just like picking her up from school when she was a child.

Haipei hesitated, and finally went over and took her father's arm-there was no place for her in her mother's house.

What Haipei didn't expect was that he was the only one in his father's family, and the legendary "goblin" was gone. Father doesn't talk, and she doesn't ask.

The room that belongs to her is clean and tidy. Her father stood at the door rubbing his hands and smiled uneasily: "I don't know what you like, so I just bought some."

Looking at the pink lace quilt and the doll beside the pillow, Haipei smiled-in her father's eyes, she was still the innocent little girl. And my father has already become a little old man with gray temples.

"Haipei, I will live with my father in the future, and my father will support you."

"You are 60 years old, so I'd better support you." Haipei finally found the mentality of her long-lost little daughter.

Watching his daughter joke with himself at every turn, the father was so excited that he couldn't control himself: "OK, OK, let's work together."

Her father called everywhere to help Haipei find a job, but it was even more difficult for her to find a job with a criminal record.

After several twists and turns, Haipei gave up this road: "Dad, I want to open my own shop."

"all right." The father replied. Later, he took the house to the bank, took out a loan and opened a frozen fruit shop for Haipei on the street corner. After the opening of the Bingguo store, business is not bad. Afraid that Haipei was too busy alone, she left early to help her do odd jobs in the shop.

After finishing the work in the shop every day, when I get home, Haipei will cook some rice porridge and fry two side dishes for my father. He eats well and tells everyone that women are everything. On the bumpy road to entrepreneurship, the hearts of father and daughter gradually came together.

Just like Haipei never asked about her stepmother, her father never mentioned Weining, only occasionally pretended not to say, "If you meet the right person, just find one. Dad can't be with you forever. "

She counted the rice grains in the bowl and nodded yes, but tears fell drop by drop. She has not heard from Weining for a long time. He should have forgotten her long ago. Anyway, after that experience, how dare she expect love and wish she could accompany her father safely for the rest of her life?

However, my father is very concerned about it. Every time a man of Haipei's age comes to the store, he always chats with others enthusiastically. When chatting, he says to Haipei: Haipei can play the piano, cook the best braised pork and pour him foot bath water every night. ...

In his father's description, Haipei is a virtuous woman and a filial daughter. If a man misses her, he will regret it all his life.

"Dad, are you in such a hurry to marry me off?"

"Yes, I am 60 years old and can't afford to support you."

"I support you now."

"Then wouldn't it be better for you to find someone to raise me together?"

Looking at her father who always thinks about matchmaking, Haipei is in distress situation.

Haipei thought that her quiet little life with her father would go on like this. However, fate always likes to play jokes on her. For a time, my father always had a stomachache, and it was okay to take all kinds of stomach medicine, so he went to the hospital and hung up an expert number.

On the day he came back from the hospital, Haipei cooked a lot of dishes for him: "Dad, you have a gastric ulcer. Eat more good food and keep your strength. We will cure the disease."

He said with a grain of salt, "Haipei, don't keep anything from me."

Haipei curled her lips and said, "I'm not like you." I am a liar. "

He was stupefied and knocked Haipei's head with chopsticks: "You girl, you wronged your father."

Haipei's tears came crashing down: "Don't think that I don't know that you bought all the chocolates that Teacher Qu gave me. She just became our head teacher that year, and I don't know her well. She can't even know which brand of chocolate I like. "

He smiled and said, "How stubborn you were then. If I give it to you, you may have to throw it in the trash. "

"Who let me be your daughter?"

Father lit a cigarette and said helplessly, "Why are you so refined, girl?" The girl is still silly and blessed. "

Haipei took the cigarette in her hand, put it out and said seriously, "I am blessed with you."

When his father was seriously ill, Hai Pei changed all the labels of the medicine bottles for treating gastric cancer and said to him in an understatement: "Gastric ulcer is a very treatable disease. You need to get better soon. Our bingo store will open a chain store, and you will be the chairman. "

He smiled and said, "That's it. The good days have just begun. "

Father's illness became more and more serious and he had to be hospitalized. Watching Haipei Hospital run at both ends, he was so tired that he was black and thin that he lost his temper and refused to be hospitalized.

Haipei couldn't beat him and had to take him home. When he got home, his spirit was really much better. He said, "Girl, you have learned all your father's skills. Dad can't fool you, and you can't fool dad. Dad knows what's wrong with him It is better to be with you than to suffer in the hospital. "

Looking at her father's increasingly thin face, Haipei felt sad. Just like when she was 10 years old, she couldn't stop her father from leaving. This time, her father, who has been together for only three years, is leaving her again? Haipei hates this sense of powerlessness in fighting against fate, but all she can do is quietly stay with her father and give him the last warmth.

A month later, my father died peacefully. While sorting out her belongings, Haipe found some thick diaries. In his diary, my father recorded his helplessness to the increasingly broken family and his regret to be separated from Nian. In order to cheer up Haipei in prison, he repeatedly begged Wei Ning, who felt the same way, to visit her and promised to give her 2000 yuan each time. To this end, his stepmother broke up with him ... every page of the diary was written about Haipei.

In the suicide note left to Haipei, my father wrote: "Haipei, my baby daughter. Dad is the most sorry for you in my life. If you hadn't left me when I was most needed, you wouldn't have suffered so many setbacks in life. But baby, let bygones be bygones. Dad's biggest regret is that he can't see anyone who can love you instead of me, but I believe he will appear soon. Dad hopes that your future life will be like your name, Haipei-happy forever! " After reading her father's letter, Haipei burst into tears.

After his father left, Haipei changed the name of the Bingguo shop-the secret of his father's love.

Love won't make life cold. Haipei believes that no matter what life she goes through, her father will always accompany her.

Secret fatherly love
