But whenever I felt sad or lonely, Dad was always there. When I was in high school, Dad retired(退休) and set up a food stand(摊位) on the street near my school. Every day when I finished school, my classmates and I would pass his food stand. But I really hated taking to Dad, because I did not want my classmates to know my dad was selling noodles on the street! One night, I couldn’t stand it any more and shouted, “Dad, could you stop selling your stupid noodles?Idon’t need a father who sells noodle on the street!” At that moment, Dad was shocked. He tried to say something but he didn’t. His eyes were filled with tears and sadness. It was the first time for me to see Dad crying. My mom later told me Dad was telling noodles to save money for my college education. Even today I still feel guilty(内疚) for that night. Time really flies. I finished college and then left my home city. For the past ten years, whenever I visited home, Dad was always there meeting me and seeing me off quietly at the railway station. When I was away, Dad never wrote or called me, but he always pushed my mom to call me. That’s the way Dad shows his love to me. 20. What did the writer use to think of his father? _ 21.
