The other side of the “cheapskate” dad_My dad essay 700 words

My father has a figure that is neither tall nor short, neither fat nor thin, with short black hair and a pair of big ears. The big eyes under the eyebrows are bright and bright, and under the high bridge of the nose is a mouth that keeps chattering all day long.

My dad is still a "stingy" guy! He often talks about cherishing money and things. In my opinion, he is stingy and always takes a long time to figure out everything. One time my father and I went to the vegetable market to buy vegetables. I had already seen the vegetables and shrimps that I had planned to buy in advance, but my father held my hand and kept walking into the vegetable market. I asked my dad: "Isn't there one here? Why go in there?" My dad blinked mysteriously and said, "Don't you see that these vegetable leaves are all yellow? Go in and take a look. You want to buy some tender ones." I walked back and took a closer look. It was not old at all, but the price was a bit expensive. When I caught up with my father, he was bargaining with the vendor: "Isn't 5 yuan a bit expensive? 4 yuan for 5?" "No, this is the lowest price in the market!" "Then I won't buy it! "Okay, okay, then 4 yuan and 5. Really..." Hey, even I am impatient.

But this time, he seemed to be a different person. On the weekend, our family of three went out to play and met a disabled person on the roadside. I looked up and down at this disabled old man: his hair was disheveled, he was wearing shabby dirty clothes, and his sleeves were empty. But he is still working hard. I saw him sitting on the ground, playing the erhu with his feet. The sound of the erhu sounded so sad. There was a small bowl beside him, and there wasn't much money in it. My mother and I glanced at him, and although we felt a little uncomfortable, we quickly walked away. At this time, my father actually stopped us and said seriously: "Can you turn a blind eye to such a pitiful person?" My mother and I were silent. I thought to myself: What does Dad want to do? Will his father give him money? I saw my father taking long strides and walking over. He stopped in front of the old man, said a few words to the old man, then took out a 50-yuan note from his wallet and gently placed it in a small bowl. We were all surprised: a person who even had to bargain for groceries was so generous today! Looking at us with puzzled faces, my father said: "Although this old man is physically disabled, he still supports himself and works hard on the streets. He really needs everyone's help, and I must help him!" I looked at my father, Suddenly I understood something.

It turns out that he is not really stingy, he just doesn't want to waste money on unnecessary places.
