There was a fish pot restaurant called “Fengqing” on Haida Street and although they only had a total of eight pot dishes in the restaurant, the business was still particularly booming. The restaurant was like a farmhouse, inside was a big pot and no matter whether it was fish or chicken, firewood was burned under the stove pit, the old pot used was made of iron, so the stewed ingredients didn’t have any lingering taste. This was Lin Zhi Song and Chen Su Ning’s favorite place to eat when they didn’t have anything to do, but because they were usually busy there weren’t many times that they could come.
Lin Yu Tong thought that it was rare for him and his parents to be able to have a meal outside after he had become an adult, so he reserved a table in advance. He made an appointment with his parents to meet with them at the restaurant at 5:30 in the afternoon, but he arrived 20 minutes earlier because the process of stewing the dishes was quite long, also every time he came here he’d especially select his parents’ favorite fish and side dishes, and immediately asked the waiter to begin stewing the pot.
While back on the road, Lin Zhi Song, who was driving the car, and Chen Su Ning, who was next to him seemed to be worried about something, and she restlessly said, “Zhi Song, tell me why did your son without rhyme or reason and take note that today isn’t even a holiday asked us to eat out together? Isn’t there something the matter with him and Zhan Yi Fei?”
Lin Zhi Song who seemed to be in a good mood smiled and said: “Oh you, you just love to worry unnecessarily, I think they’re fine, what could be the matter?”
Chen Su Ning glared. “I just don’t understand it. To say that it’s nothing rare to have dinner outside, but when Tong Tong asked us to go with just him alone, I keep feeling that something is wrong.”
Lin Zhi Song helplessly sighed, “Even if there was something wrong, it’s useless for you to worry about it here, let’s talk about it later when we arrive. Maybe our son is just being filial towards the two of us, so I’m telling you that you should at least be happy.”
Then Chen Su Ning finally showed her first smile after getting in the car but seeing it now, it didn’t look really good.
Lin Zhi Song convinced her a few more times but saw that she couldn’t be persuaded, so he didn’t continue persuading, then the two arrived at the place, parked the car and went straight to the small shop.
The welcome bell at the door rang and Lin Yu Tong immediately looked up, “Dad, Mom, I’m here!”
When the couple looked over, their son was lightly smiling, it didn’t look like someone who had some problems at all, so their hearts were finally relieved, they sat down and asked almost in unison: “How come you suddenly thought of eating here?”
Lin Yu Tong poured them a cup of hot tea each and let them drink it to warm up a little first, “Lan Lan has returned to school and Xiao Fei is busy studying again, when I thought about the empty house, I just thought of asking you to eat here, you guys like to eat fish here anyway.”
Lin Zhi Song said to his wife in a hurry: “Look, I said that our son is showing filial piety, what other things could it be?”
Chen Su Ning asked: “Why didn’t you call Yi Fei?”
Lin Yu Tong answered: “He’s not done with business in his company yet, he’ll follow once he finishes early, otherwise it’ll just be the three of us who’ll eat. I already ordered, Dad, Mom, if you have anything else you want to add just order.”
Lin Zhi Song was very happy and said: “Then I can eat more. Not to mention, I haven’t been here for a long time, so today I’ll borrow my eldest son’s light(1).”
