In Chapter 1 of Night and Day, what was the narrator's father's life like?

The narrator's father became one of those people he used to tell her about that he met on his route. Old boys who were in their house slippers watching the afternoon shows until the evening shows began. He saw hardly anyone or did anything. He worked early in the morning and then had his afternoons free, and he did not know what to do with himself.
