Today, twenty years later, I can finally raise my eyebrows and meet my enemies.

  

Not afraid of everyone's jokes, this man is actually my father, although he has never treated me like a father.

  

I drive the Land Rover carefully, trying not to get my new car dirty with the cow dung on the road. Thinking about it, it was here that I ran away from home in anger, and he had no intention of holding back. Later, it was my mother who took someone else's tractor and ran to the county town in the middle of the night to pull me back.

I dare not say that my father has no feelings, but at least he treated me very unfairly. Obviously it is my Chinese extracurricular reading book, but he just wants to announce that this book is for all students in the class to read. As a result, when the book came back to me in a circle, it was in tatters and even had cow dung on it.

  

I think that I am smarter than other partners, this is what I have earned, but my father has repeatedly said that I am useless, thinking that my so-called strengths are nothing at all - other children usually have no time to study, For homework, only because I have a teaching father, I don't need to work in the fields every day.

He was not proud of me. Even after I was admitted to St. Petersburg University, he just nodded and said, "Go, come back after graduation." I really couldn't accept it. When I graduated, he actually asked for it. I go home and pick up his class.

  

I left ruthlessly, even though the days outside were very hard, and although I basically never called my father in the past 20 years, I swear that one day, I will succeed. When he returns to his hometown again, he must let the old enemy of his life bow his head and let him see whether it is better to return to his hometown to teach, or to go outside to gain more.

  

The sheep intestine trail is still the same as before, but I don't know any of the previous friends. Right and wrong, I was in a trance, but found the car stuck in a big puddle. I shouted excitedly: "Fellow, come and help." The world is changing really fast, no matter how I shouted, no one responded, and they even cast a contemptuous look.

  

I had no choice but to ask loudly if I could call Mr. Peterev for help. Teacher Peterev is my father. Although he is still an old enemy in my mind, I came back today and he is actually the person I want to meet the most.

  

"What? Are you looking for Mr. Peterev?" the villager raised his arms and shouted, "Everyone, come and help, he is here to find Mr. Peterev." After a while, they pushed my car out of the deep pit. Several children had already gone to report to Mr. Peterev, while I slowly drove to the familiar door under the guidance of the villagers.

  

How about success? At that moment, I felt that I had lost so badly that I would never win again in my life. May that nemesis - my father - forgive me.
