父亲的期望

父亲是个修车的，虽年届四十，却略显苍老了，那饱经风霜的脸上，被风风雨雨刻上了深深的皱纹。

打我记事起，父亲便开始忙碌在修车铺里，从早一直到晚，靠着他那仅有的手艺，维持着这个家。虽然整天忙碌，但在人们的眼中，修车的毕竟是一个“低等”的活儿，因此父亲常受到人的鄙视。然而父亲不是一个软弱的人，他不自卑，而是把他仅有的希望和那希望受到安慰的心交付给了我，希望我能胜过他自己，更胜过那些嘲笑他的人们。晚上，父亲拖着疲惫的身子回到家，我一见到他，便兴奋地扑到他怀里。接着，父亲便给我讲一些伟人的故事，虽然他只知道一点， 但这已尽他的所能了 。每当这时，我总是似懂非懂地听着，用我那天真的眼，盯着父亲的那张脸。

不久，我便上学了，这是父亲对我寄托希望最深的时候。父亲为了能让我安心念书，除了白天在修车铺忙以外，回到家还要做家务。有时我真想帮他，但父亲总是笑着对我说：“没事的，你管自己念书。”

一次，父亲带我上街，我好兴奋。到了一家卖鞋的商店时，父亲停住了，他看看我脚下的鞋，说：“这双鞋太破了，太寒伧，还是买双好点的吧，上学哪能没有鞋？”我却说：“爸，不要，我脚下的还能穿，几双跑鞋够穿两年了。”但父亲执意要为我买。接着，为我在柜台下选了双皮鞋，虽然是鞋柜里最便宜的，可我的泪水已在眼中打转了。“拿着，”父亲把鞋放在了我手里，并从找下的钱中拿出一部分给我，折了几折，放在我口袋中，说，“上学时，买东西吃，别空着肚子念书！”

一路上，父亲送我上车，我只是一路沉默，父亲则好像很轻松。半路时，父亲有急事要走了，临走前，他用他那 双粗糙的手，抚摸了一下我的头，轻声说道：“去吧，上学别迟到了，爸晚上来接你。”我吃力地点了点头，看着父亲远去的身影，情不自禁地哭了。

我呆呆地立着，此时此刻的脑子中又浮现出了父亲那张黝黑的脸，那不平凡的脸。我此刻拿着的仿佛不仅是一双鞋，更是父亲的真心和那浓重的一片希望……生活的艰辛消磨了父亲的英俊，但永远消除不掉他的深切期望！

——父亲，走好！儿子我会圆了您的心愿……
