About This Novel
On a rainy day, Chen Suping rubbed the photo of her father, Chen Mancang, and pulled out the half of a wheat straw he was holding before his death, and the memory unfolded. After her mother passed away, thirteen-year-old Suping learned to cut wheat from her father. During the awn season, the father and daughter went to the fields before dawn, and the father patiently taught her how to hold the sickle. Once when there was a sudden hailstorm, her father took off his coat to protect her wheat and pushed her under the car while he protected her from the rain. The cart of wheat was related to her half-year tuition fee. After Suping was admitted to the Normal University, her father sent her to the station. Later, he worked quietly to raise living expenses and buy a computer for her. Suping wanted to take her father to the city after work, but he was reluctant to leave the land and her mother's tomb. Her father fell ill and was diagnosed with acute myelitis that may cause paralysis. Suping sold her house for treatment and took good care of him. Before her death bed, she discovered her father's collection of photos, certificates and remittance stubs, and she learned more about the deep father's love. After her father passed away, Suping recalled many past events at the funeral and while packing up his belongings. She often tells her father's stories to her daughter, with longing for her father, living a good life as he said, making the days as golden and full as four square meters of wheat waves.
