中考结束后,要在家里呆一周。我正好可以帮家里干点农活。父亲说,趁着你在家,帮我把韭菜卖掉,好拔一拔地里的草。菜地无人照管、又干旱,那韭菜枯了好多叶子。附近种韭菜的很多,我们必须把黄叶子全部择掉,弄得十分干净整齐,才能卖掉。这是一项劳动量不大,但极需耐心和毅力的活儿。连续熬了几天,父亲便支撑不住了。一过十二点,他手里拿着活儿,就不知不觉地打起了瞌睡,摇摇晃晃醒了,又接着干。后来就到院子里去走一圈,或者洗把脸,再吸一枝烟,喝杯水,什么法子都用过了,还是困,没治地困。我就劝他先去睡吧,我很快就能干完,他总是摇头。我忽然觉得,父亲的头发,就是这样熬白的。 After the exam is over, stay home for a week. I just can help farm work at home. Father said, taking advantage of you at home, to help me sell leeks, unplug the grass. Vegetables unattended, and drought, that lot of leaves withered leaves. Near the lot of leeks, we have to choose all the yellow leaves, made very clean and tidy, to sell. This is a small amount of work, but very patient and perseverance work. A boil for a few days, my father could not stand it. Twelve o’clock, holding a job in his hand, unconsciously played drowsiness, shaking and waking up, and then dry. Later went to the yard to go around, or wash his face, and then smoke a cigarette, a glass of water, what have been used, or sleepy, no cure. I would advise him to go to sleep first, I can finish soon, he always shook his head. I suddenly felt that my father’s hair is so white.
