That year I was in high school, the family is in dire straits of the season. Leaking every even rain, already a poor family, but also suffered a big hail to the ground to play into all of the crops are disabled, which means the income year in Chengdu wasted. Father, gray hair overnight, not only for his crops, and to that if I drop out problem.
In any case, do not allow children to drop out. This is my father and his own commitment. Because life distress, I stretched everywhere in school, the pathetic living I want to plan carefully to every single hair. In the cafeteria to eat the cheapest food, and eat every meal and a half full. Even so, the first pocket of hard goods that point early on a monthly or "surrender", and to the life paid the gun.
Spontaneous activities of the students I have never participated in some of my "stingy Stingy" is my "soft spot" in their attacks on me, it is often so I have no strength to fight back. But I also have their own pride, that is my academic performance has been among the best, and my level of basketball in school is one of the best, it allows me to have been straight with backs, never down.
School basketball game to be held, as the main class, I have to play in, but before me a problem, I wear what shoes to match? I envy the students in that both feet were bright white sports shoes, adidas, there are Olympic, and if they can put on a pair of shoes on the basketball court as flying, which is how smart, how valiant ah.
I have only two pairs of shoes can be, this two-feet and a new pair of bag are his mother's sewing, although it is the mother sewing stitch out, but I did not feel comfortable too. Because it can only step on the mountain in his hometown, the city that once set foot on the road to do a variety of markers, stepped on my foot like charcoal, and particularly uncomfortable. I always see people look at me staring at my shoes first, I see their feet are wearing beautiful shoes, I was discouraged at that time, a pair of shoes leaked the life experience of my difficult to speak: a scrubby "bumpkin." Once his father, the students call me: "your dad at the school gate to find you." I asked how they knew my father, they said: "Because he's wearing the same shoes with you." Followed by a bunch of people unbridled laughter, bad laugh, who can tear a laugh. I looked at the foot of the shoes, this symbol of poverty and shabby, and I kicked it once wished he could go to the Antarctic, it no longer return to my feet.
So I decided to father to a pair of sports shoes. Even though I know it is very expensive, even though I always behaved, very able to appreciate the parents. Those days of night, I only a dream: I was wearing bright white sneakers, flying on the basketball court. I kept dunk, dunk, I like the long wings, I fly up!
At that time I did not know the home was a disaster, the phone did not forget a sense of humor with his father: "Dad, your son dead end it!" My father said nothing about the disaster on the home, make it easy to install, "said Do not worry, Dad gives you money to go out a make you way out. "
I personally did not think his father would give me the money sent, directly through the post office are always sinks to the. I blame my father confused, not afterwards, this round-trip travel expenses cost more than the exchange that point a lot of it. Father said that he can take someone else's car is over, no money. "I return?" I was the father of the dull ton of bricks, the father is not angry, not angry over his life, he was Han Xiao said, this does not take the opportunity to see if you can do!
Dream a dream, after all, the reality is it to play back to the prototype. When I speak to his father to a pair of sneakers, he looked very embarrassed, he said he did not bring spare cash, he hesitated to say sorry. "As long as you hit the ball well, students will applaud you, who cares what you wear shoes?" Father comforted himself that this far-fetched, so that when a small voice, as if talking to himself the general .
I cried in front of his father's face. In fact, I fully expect to be as a result, parents are no spare cash to buy these luxury goods. But I still cry, crying grievances. Father standing there, kept rubbing his hands, like the children do wrong, know what to do. And his father did not say goodbye, I turned to go back to school.
Shoes from shattered dreams. I think I can not disgraced in front of the school's students, can not let all the people because of my pair of shoes and laugh at me, I decided to quit the basketball team. I found a teacher to give out my reason, I hesitated to say, just want to seize the time to learn.
In fact, they know where, how much I want to run the basketball court, ah!
On the day before the game, the guard called me and said I was looking for. I saw his father at the school gate, his hands carrying a fresh pair of sports shoes, bright white, so I blink. I thought he was still in a dream, until his father urged me to put try, I dare sure this is true. Although not famous, but enough to make me put it down, it is really beautiful, I would call it "white angel." I could not help but ask my father, how to spend money to buy it?
My father said, since the day after listening to my wish, he could not help but go to the mall, find out the price of those shoes, ready to go home get money to buy me. But the price of each pair of shoes have let my father down puff breath. At the counter, staring at his shoes that look nice, in fact, looking at his son's wish. Happened to people in moving goods out of the way his father too, he kept to the edge of thrust on the father. Father is a work of man, could not understand the way they work, the same as the little children's play. He could not help but lift cargo for them to order one when the Sa. Move those, the boss have to give him some reward, but he refused to close. He said it helped a little better so, how good money then? He can give the boss insisted, he pointed to a pair of shoes on the shelves, scratching his head, embarrassed the boss said, I give you a dry one week live, for a pair of shoes okay? Boss hesitated, but agreed.
The week of his father, is a more bitter suffering ah. What output is no longer the key is eating and sleeping problems. Because few pocket money, his father had to eat a meal, eat a meal and bread. Night, no place to live, his father had to go deal with the bridge opening was covered with mosquito bite is the package ... ...
"In this way, the shoes at hand." Said the father, not without pride. I left the tears again. Father panic: "how, not satisfied with this style? That I can go to you for ..." I kept shaking his head, said satisfied. "Are a big guy, do not always tears." Afraid of my father's shoulder and said to go home as early as possible in time, or you can not get home at night. More than 100 miles, his father insisted on walking back.
I am anxious, grabbed his father and asked him which store, I want shoes drained away, as his father for a ticket home. Father refusing, I carried my father said, Dad, believe me, no shoes, as I can stand to walk.
At that moment, I felt suddenly grown up, the real grown up.
That game, I wore a plain shoes into play. I keep flying, keep shooting, keep the ball dropped into the basket, super-powerful, irresistible. Seem to grow wings, like the fly. In flying, I think of the father, in the shot, I think of my father, I let my father know that I was his best son.
Since then, I am in school and Jordan have the same nickname: trapeze.
Since then, I am more diligent to learn. Finally in the summer of the second year, passed the dream of college. I became a village where we fly out of the "Golden Phoenix", I really can fly, and the father gave me the wings of a strong and confident.
Father, my only wings you there. Only you can make me fly.
