Just like his dad
Hong Yin
I can't believe it's over.
Hong Yin
It's so touching. Don't you think so Mom?
Hong Xiuying
Er... Well...
Hong Yin
Who am I kidding. Of course your mind wanders as this masterpiece is being played.
Hong Yin
You have no eye for art at all Mom. I am so disappointed.
Hong Yin
Anyway, I was so happy when they got married at the episode played two weeks ago.
Hong Yin
But, in the end, the husband still died.
Hong Yin
The artist playing the female lead was so good. I can feel her pain just looking at her without the narration.
Hong Yin
Oh, let's sit over there!
The pair of mother and son was in a tea house by the riverside.
Hong Yin saw one of the private room was empty. The empty private room had the river view, and it was the perfect spot to talk with his mother.
Today is his birthday. So Hong Xiuying decided to take him for a walk to places he liked.
And of course, Yin wasn't polite.
Hong Xiuying
Alright, let's sit over there.
Tea house servant
Are you ready to order, customers?
Hong Yin
I would like to order this, this, and this!
Tea house servant
Alright, I will take the order. Please wait for a while.
After the servant left, only then Hong Yin realized the prizes of teh dishes.
Hong Yin
*whisper: is that ok mom?
Hong Yin although was no longer the head of the family. Managed to sustain their living by selling the things she embroider. After seven years, now she has a small store on her name.
She wasn't exactly very rich but she has enough to indulge her son on his birthday.
Hong Yin
*eat with a happy expression
Hong Xiuying
Ay, slow down.
Hong Yin
I can't help it. I want to eat to full because the food at home aren't as glory.
Hong Xiuying
Hey, you just pricked on my cooking skill aren't you?
Hong Yin
Glad that you know.
Hong Xiuying
*veins popping
Hong Yin
But like, honestly, why did Dad married you Mom.
Hong Yin
You aren't like the character in the story. The wife is so good at homecaring.
Hong Yin
You are practically useless beside being able to embroider well.
Hong Yin
Did you scam Dad?
Hong Xiuying
*mouth twitch
Hong Yin
It's highly possible.
After making sure that the atmosphere is right. And his Mom is eating her favorite type of food delightfully. He asked:
Hong Yin
So how did you and Dad got married, Mom?
He actually wanted to ask a lot about his Dad. But his ox-like Mom would suddenly looked solemn everytime someone asked about it.
Six years of his life, he rarely heard anything about his Dad.
He wasn't sure of why he didn't have a Dad.
Were they separated? Did, just like the husband in play he watched before, his Dad died?
Today, the six-year-old Yinyin who just turned seven, is determined to get this answer!
Hong Yin
'Although, the separation might be bitter, but the marriage should be sweet, right?'
In contrast with his initial thought, Xiuying doesn't look like she is reminiscing a good memory.
