Question

Sometimes I really doubt whether there is love between my parents. Every day they are very trying to make money in order to the high tuition（學(xué)費(fèi)）for my brother and me. I never hear them say “I love you”, or see them send birthday to each other. My father has a bad temper（脾氣）. When he’s very tired from work, it is for him to lose his temper.

One day, my mother was preparing dinner. I sat down her.

“Mom, I have a question to ask you,” I said after a while.

“What?” she replied, doing her work.

“Is there love between you and Dad?” I asked her in a very low .

My mother stopped her work and her head with surprise in her eyes. She didn’t answer and went on cooking.

I was very worried I thought I had hurt her. I didn’t know what I should do.

A few days later, my father suddenly got sick . My mother had to stay with him in the for a month. After they were back, every day in the morning and dusk（黃昏）, my mother helped my father walk slowly on the country road. My father had never been so . It seemed they were the most harmonious（和諧的） .

“Dad, how are you now?” I asked him one day.

“Susan, don’t worry about me. To tell you the truth, I just like walking with your mom. I this kind of life.” Reading his eyes, I know he loves my mother deeply.
