父亲退休前是单位的“笔杆子”。退休之后,父亲仍笔耕不辍,只是,他不再写公文,而是写起了散文、诗歌、小说。每次写完稿子,父亲总是认真修改,工工整整地誊在稿纸上,然后装入信封,寄给报刊社。不久,父亲的文章发表了,报刊社寄来了样报,还有稿费。很多时候,他的稿费并不高,只有几十元。我对父亲说:“你辛辛苦苦写稿子,赚得太少了。”可父亲却很满足,他说:“写文章是一种快乐,能够被刊登是更大的快乐。” The father before retirement is the unit “penholder ”. After his retirement, his father still penied, but he no longer write official documents, but wrote essays, poems, novels. Every time he finished writing his manuscript, his father always made serious changes, and his work was completely laid out on the manuscript, then the envelope was loaded and sent to the newspaper office. Soon, his father’s article was published, the newspaper agency sent a sample newspaper, and royalties. In many cases, his royalties are not high, only a few dozen yuan. I said to my father: “You worked so hard to write a manuscript that you earned too little.” “But my father was satisfied,” he said. “Writing a manuscript is a pleasure. Being able to publish it is even greater happiness.” "
