Sheng Chuncheng thought about it and asked: "Uncle is a scientist?"
"No, he is a crew member."
Yanyan said: "There is a ship called "Xiangyanghong No. 10". I don't know if you know it. In November 1984, our country organized the Antarctic expedition team for the first time and went to the Southern Ocean to perform scientific expedition missions in Antarctica. It took this ship
The ship, my father was on this ship at the time. But at that time, he was still a young man, and I didn’t know where he was.”
"Later, my father was introduced to my mother. She was an ocean-going crew member. Every time she came back, she would rest at home for half a month. Then she would go out again for several months and half a year. There was no news at all, and she seemed to have disappeared.
Same. Especially the "Xiangyanghong" No. 10, which was our country's most advanced and largest scientific research ship at the time, and their mission was very heavy. o_m
"My parents got married late, and it took many years after they got married to give birth to me. My father loves my mother very much. The scientific research ship is at sea, and many times I can't be contacted by phone. My father likes to write letters.
He wrote a letter to my mother every day while he was on the boat.
"Later, after having me, my father changed to writing me a letter every day, along with greetings to my mother. He wrote all his experiences at sea and abroad, and his daily work in the letter. When he came back,
I brought the letters back, and one by one, my mother read them to me.
"I remember when I was in elementary school, after I started to read letters, what I looked forward to most every time was the letters my father would come back to bring me. If it took a long time, there would be a big package, all packed in envelopes, with the letters on the envelopes.
It was written with a date. When I read it, I also read it according to the date. I started reading it when he left his daughter. When I read it, he said that he would be home tomorrow and could see his daughter.
"I like to read my dad's letters the most. Every time I read one letter after another, it feels like I am following my dad on the ocean, working with him every day, and watching the sunrise and sunset on the sea together.
Duoduo, like stars about to fall from the sky to the sea, looked at the flying fish together and followed the ocean-going ships jumping on the sea.
"Couples like my parents who spend less time together and separate more will definitely have problems. It was also when I was in the third grade of elementary school that my mother fell in love with another man. The two of them divorced, and I was
It was awarded to my mother.
"But I don't like living with them. I still like to follow my father. I live in my father's house. My mother came to beg me many times, but I insisted not to go back. Later, my mother had no choice but to follow me.
"Dad did not get married again. When he was away, I would wait for him at home alone and read the letters he left for me. When he came back, he would still bring me more letters, even if satellites became available later.
Even when we can talk on the phone at sea, we rarely talk on the phone.
"Dad is still used to writing me letters every day. I still like to wait for my dad's letters. A letter is a line connecting one point to that point. Only when there is distance can the letter show its preciousness. If we call at any time, the distance
It would be gone. My father's desire to write a letter might be gone, and my anxiety about waiting for him to come back might also disappear.
"So we rarely talk on the phone. We just like to keep this old habit and let letters become the link between us.
"When I could write letters, I also started to write to my father. Of course, I didn't write every day. I felt that I didn't have so many things to tell my father. It was also strange. Obviously I was on land and he was at sea. His daily
The range of activities is very small and life is very monotonous. But why, when my father talks so much every day, do I become very monotonous?
"Later, every time Dad came back, we exchanged letters, which was a major event between us. Dad gave me the letter he wrote to me, and I gave him the letter he wrote to Dad. We were all after dinner, washing up.
After taking a bath, I solemnly took out the letter and exchanged it. This is a ritual between my father and I. I miss it so much.
"When I was in high school, my father was sick and had kidney failure. In fact, he had symptoms before he went to sea. I didn't know it, and neither did anyone else. My father was afraid that he wouldn't be allowed to go on the ship because of his illness, and he kept talking to him.
Everyone hid his illness, because he liked the sea and life at sea too much.
"That time, they went out for more than seven months before returning. After returning, my father finally couldn't bear it anymore and went to the hospital. By this time, it was too late. My father stayed in the hospital for more than a month and then passed away.

320 Sheng Chuncheng thought of it
"On the hospital bed, my father told me that the continent was too noisy, too dirty, and there were too many people. He really wanted to die in Antarctica, covered in ice and snow. It had been like that for tens of thousands of years. Then
How wonderful it would be, he felt that Antarctica was the pure land in his mind.
"I promised my father that I will definitely take you back to Antarctica, to the place where you first landed as a member of the Chinese scientific expedition team, and I will bury you there. " First update@
"After my father passed away, his ashes were never buried. I put them in a beautiful jar and kept them at home. Later, when I had money and the ability to go abroad, I took my father to Antarctica.
"Dad was very happy in the ice and snow of Antarctica. He told me several times in his dreams, and also told me that he had accumulated a lot of letters to me."
After Yanyan finished speaking, both of them were silent. After a while, Sheng Chuncheng raised his cup and said to Yanyan:
"Come, let's respect uncle."
Yanyan said yes, she raised her cup, turned her head to the bookshelf, and shouted: "Dad, we are toasting you."
The two clinked their glasses, finished the wine, put down their glasses, Yanyan looked at Sheng Chuncheng and said:
"I've finished telling my story, what about yours?"
Sheng Chuncheng asked: "What is mine?"
Yanyan looked at Sheng Chuncheng and said word by word: "Do you still remember that I told you that there is a kind of sadness in your eyes?"
Sheng Chuncheng smiled and said, "Didn't I just get dumped by my girlfriend at that time?"
"No, being dumped by your girlfriend is not that sad." Yanyan said, "You know, when I first saw you in Tonglu, what attracted me to you was the sadness in your eyes. This kind of sadness
It's in your bones, it has taken root in your body. There is a word called unforgettable, which refers to this kind of sadness.
"Even when you are happy, when you laugh, this sadness is still lurking behind. By the way, I like to see you smile. Do you know why? When you smile, it is very clean, because in your bones
With sadness, or to use a very abusive word, melancholy temperament, this makes your smile very clean.
"Every time I look in the mirror and look at myself in the mirror, I can also see this sadness in my own eyes. I feel that we are the same kind of people. It is because of this that I treat you
So curious."
When Yanyan was talking, she kept looking at Sheng Chuncheng. Sheng Chuncheng looked up at her and smiled, but the smile was bitter. She was thinking, this girl's eyes are really poisonous, and nothing can escape her.
