A “Father, I’d like to make a trip. Why not fly out and meet me”I murmured低声说. After 27 years as a manager for IBM My father had just retired. His job filled his day, his thoughts, his life.

Weeks after our trip, I call my father. “The photos from the trip are wonderful,” he says.“We have got to take another trip like that sometime.” I tell him Ive decided to settle down, and Im wearing a watch. 21.From the underlined paragraph, we can see that the au
