When it comes to my family, the first thing I think of is the whole family sitting together, eating fried chicken and watching old movies on every Sunday night. It’s a habit that I find unique, I mean, not every other family do the same thing like us.
There are three people in my family including me. My father, my mother, and me. Like most Chinese families, my family is the simplest family of three.
Mom used to tell me that her first encounter with my father was in the winter, she fell in love with him in the first sight she saw him. Thus, my dad became her first and last man. “What a romantic story! ”I thought. And their love story has become my standard for judging good love.
The person on the right in the photo is my father. He is a fat man, but also a severe and dedicated man. For the last 15 years, he has worked as a civil servant, he loves his job, which means he was the earliest to the office every day. As far as I remember, my dad is very strict with me, especially when it comes to family education.Whenever we eat, my dad always asks me to put the bowl in my hand and keep my waist straight.
“You know the rules, Caroline” Every time I want to eat without restraint, my dad says so. Although I still didn’t know why I was asked to do that, I did so because of my father ’s serious look.
Compared with my dad, my mom is very gentle. As same as my dad, my mom is also a civil servant. However, if my dad sometimes objected to some of my decisions, unlike him, my mom often supported me in everything that I do.
“Hey mom, what do you think if I study advertising as my major when I grow up”
“Oh, that’s your decision, Caro.you know I will always support you.”she always said,“If the major is what you interested in, you just need to follow your heart.”
Haha, this is my family, they’re always gonna play good cop, bad cop. However, in our daily life, we are always very harmonious. As I said at the beginning, every Sunday night our family will sit together to watch a movie and eat fried chicken. This is kind of like, a family’s tradition, I think. At that time, the three of us are like friends, eating and drinking and chatting. I love my family, they means the world to me, without them, I would not be who I am today.
