Dad's "raising chickens"

Years ago, based on the principle of "reciprocity", the relationship became more and more attentive. My godfather sent some new year's goods, including fish and shrimp raised in several fish ponds at home, chickens and ducks raised by himself, and a bag of rice. After being sent home, the chicken immediately laid three eggs, either because it was "kind" or because it was fun. This made my father very happy and clamored for a raise, which made my mother very worried.

? Although the yard at home can be raised, in summer, when it is hot, the "chicken smell" is particularly serious. How can the neighbors stand it? I couldn't beat my dad, so I moved to "rescue troops"-my brother and I, anyway, will kill chickens during the Chinese New Year, and have some old hen soup while everyone is here.

Dad is a person who loves life. The thrifty and housekeeping older generation is one faction. Nowadays, young people advocate "breaking up" Dad often says that my brother and I should not throw things around, which is bought with money ... This style continues on my brother. I often laugh at my brother. I said, "Do you still wear the T-shirt I 10 wore in college?" My brother was still wearing pajamas in summer, but now he has changed a lot under the drive of his sister-in-law's matinee, advocating simplicity, such is life, and so is dealing with other people's relations. It is good to live comfortably alone. In such a big environment, my father insisted that only my younger brothers and sisters could discuss how to solve this family storm.

? When I got home, I found that my hardworking father built a small villa for chickens, including a leisure area, a dining area, a rest area and the most important core area, the "egg laying area". I ate rice bran cabbage pulled by my aunt in the country. Every day when dad has nothing to do after work, he cleans the henhouse first and rummages through it from top to bottom. Passion is still there, passion is still there! And he was happy to tell me about the water lock in the cleaning process. In this case, I can't bear to say more. Although I prepared a manuscript a few days in advance, I was prepared emotionally and rationally from the aspects of hygiene, neighborhood and my own busyness, but now I can't say a word.

? Yes, it's not easy for parents to have something they love and are interested in when they are old. Aren't we children to make them happy every day? Isn't it children's best hope for their parents that they have sustenance in their hearts, things to do in their hands, enthusiasm for life and health and safety? Here, my father also told my mother that you don't have to worry about the chicken and won't let you move when cleaning. When it's hot, it's tasteless to put the chicken nest in the hallway outside, and it won't interfere with the neighbors. With these communication premises, my mother has nothing to say, and the "family storm" in the New Year has also subsided.
