My father always wanted to share with you the surprises he found, like he had found a treasure, and wanted to see in your eyes that little bit of light on everything that was emerging, as if this would make his life a little more fun!

The father is a gentle man. There should be no doubt about this in the child's memory. Even if the gentleness of the father will temporarily disappear from him when he is severely punished, but compared with the mother, the delicacy of the father will become my later life. In the "Imagination of Men and Elders", they should have a little tolerance for children like a father (or my mother too), a gentle companionship, and a calm and graceful life!

But the father and maybe the women all over the world can't stand the other side of the man beside him. The father is like a big child, just like the saying that women often say in marriage: "I have an extra son."

The quirky father always conjures up any kind of toy from behind that other people's children haven't been able to play yet, so we can be one step ahead of others to discuss the Nintendo red and white machine, the Game Boy handheld electric, the new game card Box... silently said on the side: "My family has it!" .

But the father should also want to get a little attention from the child, and get a little praise "Dad, you are great!" in those exclamations.

The mother sometimes frowned at the father's actions of buying toys and trying to please the children, neither joining nor stopping, and never understood: "This family has grown old and young, how come their hands are so old? Holding that machine and staring at the TV intently.” Compared with my father, my mother’s down-to-earth and strictness without playing with things often made me move out of my father’s way in front of me: “I asked my father. He said he can play!”

My parents seem to be living in two different worlds. Even though my mother was already a very avant-garde woman at that time, able to control the audience in the workplace, she was not able to stretch herself when she returned to family life; The bondage of traditional women can be seen in the mother, while the father follows the pace of the times and wants to create his own life style, so that he will always be more like a "player" in front of his children, not a traditional one. Kind of a bad father.

Nintendo (or any toy) is one of those things a father uses to entice his child to do anything he thinks you should , ordering, assigning the reward that the child can get by "finishing something"; but sometimes he buys back something on a whim, using any name as a reward, and the extra gestures facing the TV can hit the game The gun of the western cowboy, I've shot a few levels before other kids of the same age have played this thing.

During the meal, my parents strictly stipulated that "you can only eat at the dining table and not watch TV", but my father put a TV in his and his mother's bedroom. In the middle of summer or during the New Year's Day, our family of four lives in that room. Turn on the air conditioner to cool off and watch TV, or just stare at the TV and watch roll after roll of video tapes on the bed all day during the annual vacation.

My mother didn't know why she always had to go out early in the morning to buy vegetables. No one wanted to get up early to go with her. She went out alone as if the whole world had abandoned her. Dish upstairs.

Once my mother went out early in the morning, my sister and I climbed into my parents' bed, followed my father to turn on the red and white machine, picked the cassettes and attacked each other with tanks. Looking at each other, my father hurriedly put away the Nintendo and told us to hurry up and hide under the quilt to avoid being scolded by our mother.

The new things my father gave were not just those toys for games, but also many electronic products, ranging from large VCRs, computers, dot matrix printers, to small Walkmans (tapes, CDs, and even Later MP3 player), BBCall, digital cameras, mobile phones, or the Internet with invisible data dial-up... Father always wanted to share with you the surprises he found, and wanted to learn from you. Seeing that point in his eyes shines light on everything that's emerging, as if it would make his life a little more fun!

After my father left home, the financial conditions of both parents were no longer the same as when they were still together, and they could not make any small fun in life, but my father still bought us the latest Game Boy, and when he was not around, Can accompany us through those lonely and tasteless youth. Later, the Game Boy malfunctioned while playing, and my father wrote a serious letter in his silky handwriting, saying, "Dad will help you find a way, repair it if you can, or buy a new one if it can't be repaired. Yes, but Dad can only pay half of the money for you, and you have to pay the rest from your pocket money."

The last Game Boy in the house was a color model bought by my sister after she started working, and the era has quickly entered the era of smartphones. Also don't remember if my father kept up with the times when the iPod I was playing with (it was an iPod, not an iPad) was an apple bite before he passed away? But I think if my father hadn't died in 2008, when he turned 60 years old, he would have more vitality because of the rapid technological development in this world, and he would be like an old child who discovers a new world every day, bombarding every day. The picture of asking the elders early and saying late! Then, in a father's gentle tone, he said, "Hello daughter, Dad's line account OOOOO has joined you..." so that he could leave a trace in your life.

(The original text was in the age of mobile phones. My father once sent a text message that I remembered: "Hello daughter, Dad's mobile phone number has been changed to OOOOOO, the original number can only be sent and can't be answered..." I just didn't ask him: "What do you want? Why are there so many numbers?")
