Zhan came back home with a bright face. He was extremely happy today.

"Baba! Baba!" he called his father out once he reached the door.

"Ohh.. why did you cook?"

Zhan frowned when he found his father was cooking.

"Of course! We need to eat, ma?" his father snorted.

"I was planning to bring you out to eat....!" Zhan pouted. He sat on the chair.

"Why? Rich already, uh?" his father chuckled.

"I got my salary, Baba! Today is payday!" cried Zhan.

"Your Boss doesn't pay your salary for three months, right? It's only 6 weeks, ma?" said Xiao Meng.. He stirred the stew he was cooking.

"No. He pays me already, Baba...!" Zhan smiled broadly.

Xiao Meng stared at him. SOmething was different with his only son. His broad smile, the way he dressed up. Ahh... Maybe because now he has a girlfriend already. And he also working in the big company.

"Just keep it. You can buy me something that can last longer than the food...!" Xiao Meng patted his son's shoulder.

"I still will bring you for dinner tomorrow. And of course, I'll buy for you something you can remember...!" Zhan smiled widely.

"You're such a kid...!" Xiao Meng chuckled.
