Father's bag

My father is a real farmer. In fact, he is not a man with a bag.

In rural areas, only big bosses or leaders will bring black briefcases to work for tea, and no middle-aged artists will carry "decent" bags to work. Serious backpacks, in my hometown, in my parents, in the life of the next generation, almost do not exist.

But my father takes it with him to work or work every day, or wraps it under his arm or simply carries it on his right shoulder, so I think the non-woven handbag that was originally used to hold various items is his bag.

These items are usually put in that bag: keys, chargers, shaving boxes, water cups, toilet paper, notebooks and pens.

Sometimes there will be a classic book, or a Huangdi Neijing. There will be thick leather gloves and windproof electric car holsters in winter, raincoats, peanuts and melon seeds in the New Year when it rains, and nothing in summer. When the weather is hot, the body itself is a burden, and my father's skin is black and red. Because his legs are rarely exposed, there is a clear dividing line between his arms, legs and stomach.

When his father is resting, he doesn't rest. He often goes to the vegetable garden to pick dung or water the soil, and brings home a bag of vegetables. At this time, his "bag" became a portable "vegetable bag". This vegetable garden was built after the earliest old house in our family was demolished. This vegetable garden is the most convenient place for my father to stay in his spare time. Although this is only a small vegetable field, it needs a lot of sweat. Its biggest advantage is that you can eat fresh vegetables at home all year round.

I like the vitality of the vegetable garden, although I often joke when picking vegetables. Unlike a girl who grew up in the country, I am not smart enough and a little stupid. But I always know how to feel. Every time I go back to my hometown from outside, I am willing to go several times. Sometimes I accompany my parents to pick vegetables, and sometimes I stay alone for a while. In the vegetable garden, the whole person will be much calmer, as if he were closer to his hometown and his father's heart at that moment.

Father has thick hair, just like him. How lucky I am, I probably don't have to worry about baldness. When he was young, his beard grew fast and hard. At that time, my brother and I were still young. He will stab us in the face with his beard and play with us. Although it hurts a little, he is still very happy to be so close.

Of course, when I grow up, there will be no such rare interaction. My father's beard changed from a state of exuberant oil secretion to a state of stubble, and its growth rate was much slower, just like the black and white hairs on his head.

Even so, he will still carry a small golden box in his bag, which contains several silver blades and a T-shaped silver handle, and several stubbornness short beards will be embedded in the seam where the blades are installed. Even if it's just a cheap shaving suit, it looks exquisite. I always feel better than electric ones.

In fact, I am very slow to detect the aging of my parents, just like my own growth is also very slow, and even "late maturity" is not necessarily counted. I always feel that my parents are still in their forties, and I should still be at school instead of wandering around and working for five years. In fact, when my father began to pay special attention to health care, I should know that my parents are not young.

Father sometimes likes to read some popular medical books and knows a little about meridians. I still remember when I was in middle school, he often did navel massage exercises before going to work. His chubby belly is really cute when rubbed clockwise, and he still reads some "scriptures" in his mouth, which makes people feel awkward.

This is why he always keeps Huangdi Neijing in his bag. And fortune-telling books are just for entertainment. His notebook clearly lists the birthdays of several people in our family. I like to listen to his fortune analysis when I am free. Even if the final conclusion is usually the hope of my brother and sister's marriage career, I often find him really difficult. There will be some other important records in the book, nothing more than income and expenditure, and some important things related to his wife, children, brothers and parents.

My father and I are both relatively taciturn. Sometimes I feel that there is little communication, and sometimes I feel that there is no need to say more. If I can roughly understand some of his behaviors, I may be able to make up for some shortcomings in this respect.

In my eyes, my father's "schoolbag" carries too many family responsibilities. It is not a personalized and personalized existence, but a very simple loading and unloading carrier. Father's "bag" contains the simple daily life of an ordinary rural man. Although the appearance is simple, the content is substantial.

In my father's world, there may never be a bag like or LV. For him, as long as the bag can hold his own "equipment", the mission of a bag will be realized. Fashion or business means little to him. On the contrary, honesty will make him feel more practical and don't have to worry about the problem that the "bag" will be ruined.

When I was a child, every time I saw my father's bag, I was very lost. I was very happy when I saw him put it down. However, most of the time he has to carry a bag, and his tired face makes people feel distressed when they put it down.

I've been thinking, does he have to carry a bag for a long time?
