Dragon 2: Pupil of the Mourner

"See the DVD or not? There's Shrek 2, but it's the gun version." The man stopped chattering, probably always no response he also felt a little embarrassed.

　　"No," Chu Zhang said after a moment of hesitation, "the three of us are going to see it together this weekend."

　　The "three" refers to Chu Zhang and their rich father and mother three people, and this man has nothing to do.

　　This is the rule set by "Dad", "Dad" busy work, from breakfast to late-night snacks are reserved for customers. But after a divorce, "Dad" recognized the importance of family, so in the schedule of a fixed circle of the weekend, day to spend with the family. The common program was shopping, watching movies, having a nice dinner, and discussing Chu Zhang's studies after the meal. "Dad" is very strict with the schedule, "family time" is never less than one day, and never more than one day, just as he must appear in the company's conference room at 9:00 a.m. every Monday, rain or shine, for the weekly meeting with senior executives.

　　The company's main business is to provide a wide range of products and services to the public. It's all because of the old mother.

　　"Is the back seat air conditioning hot?" The man asked again.

　　"Come on, don't keep talking like a driver!" Chu Zhang was annoyed in his heart.

　　You are my father! Do you understand? He wanted to ask the man, do you understand?

　　According to the visitation rights count you can only come to visit me one day a month you are often not available ...... even if you come and sit in other people's homes, what can you say to me? Of course, you can still talk, you sit on the horsehair sofa bought by "Dad" 170,000, praise that sofa is high class! Why on earth would I ask you to pick me up? Because there's no one to pick me up? Because you're coming to pick me up and we can talk! If you really can't say anything profound, just ask me bluntly and lightly if I've had a good time lately and if I'm happy. ...... Don't give me an umbrella, so attentive, I don't care about that, you still want to kneel in front of me like the driver of Miao Miao's house to change my rain shoes? I do not need a driver, the family already has a driver ...... you are my father do you understand?

　　"What's so humiliating about being a driver for your son?" The man shrugged, his cheek as thick as a wall, or nerve circuit is sluggish than a turtle, "When I was a child, I also gave you a horse ride."

　　Chu Zhang's heart twitched slightly, like something cracked inside and flowed out sour water. He felt tired, did not want to say, leaned back on the leather chair backrest, looking out the window out of mind.

　　The old blandness to say the words that add to the blockage ...... can not mention those things?

　　Some years ago ...... in that small dilapidated house of dozens of square meters, men crawling around, boys riding on the shoulders of men saying loudly "driving driving", beautiful women around the gas stove hands and feet.... ...These images flashed out in my mind, like an old broken crank projector playing a movie.

　　It was getting dark and the streetlights came on. Through the heavy curtain of rain, the light was so faint that it looked like fireflies.

　　"How's your mom doing?" The man broke the silence.

　　"The same as before, get up in the morning to fiddle with the cat, go out in the afternoon to buy something, in the evening with a few aunts bar drinking, drink happy together, then talk until the latter part of the night, the next morning and sleep until noon. Anyway, ......" Chu Zhang hesitated for a moment, "Dad is always out socializing, no time for her. She entertains herself like this, dad also feels quite good."

　　These words are a bit hurtful to say. A man who is down and out asks about a woman from his past who is having a good time and has simply forgotten about him.

　　Grandma said that mom grew up as a heartless daughter, but heartless and beautiful, instead she could live a good life. Mom left all the unhappy things in the past behind, thinking that "Dad" is her first husband, their youthful marriage is happy, and Chu Zhang such an excellent son, in Chinese is called perfect, in English is called perfect.

　　People have to accept reality, the shadow of this man has been emptied in the limited brain memory of the old mother.

　　It's not easy for Chu Zhang to call another man "dad" in front of this man, and he just used the expression "the three of us" politely. But called out, it is not so awkward. This is what he promised to "dad", mention him to call "dad", not "uncle", "four eyes "Although the image of "dad" in Chu Zhang's heart is a four-eyed boy with a combed head or a split-headed man with glasses ...... but Chu Zhang this person's dead brain, keep their promises, no matter before or after people.

　　After so long, this man should also get used to it, right? Anyway, he didn't put in any effort to fight for the custody of his son back then.

　　"Take good care of your mother." The man said.

　　Looking in the rearview mirror, he's still handsome but his somewhat old face had little expression.

　　"Well, as you said, keep an eye on her at night before going to bed to drink milk, and if she chats with those sisters, I'll heat the milk for her and bring it over." Chu Zhang said.

　　This is the only thing the man asked Chu Zhang to do. It's strange, to lose the woman, but still, remember a glass of milk ...... mother grew up with the habit of drinking a glass of hot milk every night, with half a spoonful of sugar, so as not to fall asleep and wake up. Now she has probably forgotten that years ago at night it was this man who gave her hot milk to drink, anyway, before there was this man there was grandma to give her hot milk to drink, after this man, there was her son to give her hot milk to drink.

　　A good-life woman always has someone to give her hot milk to drink.
