Dear dad,

I miss you now.Have you finished all you work today? I know you are much too busy doing farm work these days.  Last weekend i called you at the this moment you were still feeding pigs. You told me you would have much more free time in a few days after rice transplanting. My mother and brother including me blamed you because of this. Don't you forget you promised us you wouldn't pick up others' deserted farmland any more, but this year you still do loads of farm work even more than last year. you exactly know you won't make much money by doing the farm work, but why do you still choose to continue doing it. You explained the village cadre asked you to do it and they would pay for the so called plough handle fee. But don't you know even in this case, you do more  and you lose more money not to mention earn money. Dear dad, we can't understand you. When will you consider you  more than others?

Dear dad, do you know your sixtieth birthday will come soon. Do you remember you promied me you only do our own farm work until you  could get your age pension. The other day you happily told me  you could get it in May this year, but how could you go back on your words? You broke your promise year after year since we began to work. Dear dad, I know you are hardworking. I know you have a great feeling to your farmland. You really don't want to give up your cause farming. It's your own proud business. You are the most outstanding farmer in our village. But dear dad, you are not young any longer. yeah, there are almost no young man devoting himself to go in for farming now. It's not your fault. You can't take over all the farmland. I know you won't see the wild grass spread over the rich land.

Dear dad, you are our dearest dad, so now all we can do is to support you in the material. I hope this time your promise is a promise. You need to take good care yourself. We need you.
