Night reading sweater with badge

Mondo Culture Updated on 2024-01-28

As the weather cooled down, I took out a sweater from my closet at night, and the sight of the bear badge on my chest reminded me of the first sweater I wore as a child. I remember when I first learned to dress, autumn clothes and sweaters were easy to wear backwards, and every time I wore them, I felt like I was wearing them backwards. Friends who have lived in the countryside know that when I wake up in the morning and get dressed, it is extremely cold in the house, and it is difficult to put it on, and then take it off and put it back on, not to mention how cold it is, and the sweater that my mother knits is the easiest thing for me to wear. It was a blue and white sweater, which I liked very much, but because the neckline was so close to the back, I always wore it backwards.

One morning, as soon as I got on my sweater, my father bought a badge from the town, which was a thin metal disc with a brown bear, and sat down next to me, with his big hands around his waist and his chest, and his thick arms around my waist, and he took me in his arms and said, "Dad put a bear on the front of your sweater, and you will never wear it backwards again." "My back was against my father's chest, and it was warmer than leaning against the fire! When I was studying, my classmates also praised me for my beautiful sweater, so I proudly told them, "This is a sweater that my mother knitted for me, how beautiful!" "It wasn't until the third grade, when I grew taller, that it retired with honor, and I remember this very well. Last winter, I asked my father if he remembered this incident, and he said that he was probably a little impressed, so I told the details, only to see my father laughing, looking at my thin father sitting on the sofa, wrinkles on his face, full of white hair, at that moment, I felt a bitter throat, indescribable taste, I thought to myself: Dad, I still want to buy a sweater, can you still hold me in your arms and give me a badge? Now with the same action, I should be able to hold you in my arms. While he laughed, I lowered my head and went into the bedroom, rubbing my eyes. I searched for a long time and couldn't find the sweater, so I asked my mother if the sweater was still there? Sure enough, this kind of thing can only be done by a mother. I picked up the sweater, looking at the frayed cuffs as if to show me the past of growing up, the polished badge is like a light that illuminates my life, although the small sweater has faded to the blue and white color, but what is my mother's knitting sweater when the stitches and threads of the picture playback, it feels like a warm sun shining on the body in winter, very warm. In fact, whenever I think back on this incident, I compare the bear badge to a guiding light set up by my father for my life, warning me to be righteous and never go in the opposite direction. As I moved forward, he pressed his warm chest against my back, my eternal haven. About the Author:
