On How Sons Raise Fathers

Wang Chao went upstairs and gently knocked on the door of Wang Yang's bedroom. When he pushed the door open, he saw Wang Yang sitting on the bed and smoking a cigarette.Wang Chao's footsteps obviously paused, at least in his memory, this was the second time Wang Yang smoked in front of him.

Seeing his son coming in, Wang Yang was also a little embarrassed, and wanted to put out the cigarette, but there was no ashtray by his side, and there was a wooden floor under his feet, so he was pinching the only cigarette butt left, and Wang Yang stood there in a daze, not knowing what to do.

Wang Chao walked to Wang Yang's bedside, picked up a ceramic coaster under the cup from the low cabinet, and placed it beside Wang Yang.

"...Thank you." Wang Yang quickly stubbed out the cigarette butt, got up and opened the window for air.

Looking at Wang Yang who was standing by the window looking at the scenery outside and refused to look back, Wang Chao asked, "Is Dad not feeling well? Shall I make some sour plum juice?"

Wang Yang turned around and said, "No need. Dad is thinking about something, go play and don't worry about me."

Seeing Wang Yang's insistence, Wang Chao couldn't ask any more questions, so he turned around and went out the door.After a few minutes, Wang Chao came in again and said, "Dad, I've prepared the bath water for you. You can take a bath."

Wang Yang said: "I, I can just wash in this room..." Wang Yang's room faces the sun, and the bathroom occupies a small area. There are only shower facilities in it. In contrast, Wang Chao's bathroom is larger, with a small bathroom. Not a small bathtub inside.

"Dad, you really didn't take a bath, remember to take a bath before going to bed." Wang Chao muttered, but didn't really drag Wang Yang to take a bath.

Wang Yang: "..." Is he being tricked by his son?

It can only be said that the relationship between father and son is too weird. The son cares about his father, but the father finds it awkward; the father wants to care about his son, but he always feels powerless.

Until midnight, Wang Yang was still baking pancakes on the bed, tossing and turning so hard that he couldn't fall asleep.The air conditioner is turned on and off, turned off and on again, and the irritability surrounding my heart can't be blown away.

Wang Chao pushed the door open again and entered, and climbed onto Wang Yang's bed smoothly by the hazy moonlight coming in through the thin gauze curtain.

Wang Yang: "...Are you sleepwalking?"

"If Dad is talking in his sleep, I am indeed sleepwalking." Wang Chao replied.

"What, did you have a nightmare?" Wang Yang pulled the thin blanket for him and asked, stroking his head.

Wang Chao struggled out of the thin blanket and cried out in a low voice, "It's hot."

Wang Yang insisted on covering Wang Chao's stomach with a thin corner blanket, and said, "You are the only one who is full of anger."

"Dad, aren't you too angry and unable to sleep?" Wang Chao asked back.

"I, I'm not, I'm not angry." Wang Yang stammered, feeling annoyed that he had dug a hole for himself.

Fortunately, Wang Chao didn't hold on to this entry point, but asked: "Then why can't dad fall asleep? I heard it when I got up in the middle of the night to go to the toilet."

The weather this night was mediocre, the moonlight was not so bright when it passed through the thin clouds and then through the gauze curtain and finally shone on Wang Yang's face.Wang Yang closed his eyes, not daring to look at Wang Chao, but asked softly, "If, Wang Chao, I just said, if, I don't want you to go to school anymore, what would you do?"

==

In the silent night, Wang Yang's voice was faint, and Wang Chao could hear a bit of melancholy from his words.Wang Chao moved his body, rested his neck on Wang Yang's arm, and asked, "Daddy is leaving here?"

"That's not it."

Wang Chao moved for a long time and finally found a comfortable position for himself, and said: "It's the same wherever I go to school. If my father won't let me go, I'll just go home. Anyway, I will follow my father and be with my father forever." Together."

Wang Yang chuckled, the child's answer was irrelevant, or the brain circuits of the two of them are not in the same area at this time, a bit like a chicken talking to a duck.Wang Yang still wanted to ask a few more questions, but Wang Chao next to him had already fallen asleep, and Wang Chao only got up to go to the toilet, and his brain was not fully awake.

Sure enough, the relationship between father and son seemed to be reversed.

Gently stroking Wang Chao's back, Wang Yang recalled what he just said, "Be with Dad forever", this simple and beautiful goal was once his fantasy, but it was a dream more than ten years ago up.

In the middle of the night, Wang Yang sighed softly, covered Wang Chao with a thin blanket again, and fell asleep with his eyes closed.

Naturally, when Wang Chao woke up the next day, he was surprised to find himself sleeping in his father's room.

Wang Yang, who had been waiting for him for a long time, finally freed his arm, got up and stood up, seeing that he didn't remember what he did last night, he patted his head, "Get up and wash up, get off later Go upstairs to eat."

Wang Chao hummed in a low voice, but couldn't remember how he ran to his father's bed.

"What, you still want to stay in bed? Didn't you wake up early a few days ago?" Wang Yang changed his clothes aside, buttoned up his shirt and turned to ask him.

"Just woke up... slowly, slowly..." Wang Chao lowered his head and rubbed his eyes, yawned with his mouth open, and said, "Dad, I'll go down and cook for you."

"Waiting for you to cook for me, I'm already late." Wang Yang put on his pants, stood up and walked outside the house, and said, "I'll go first, just go outside and eat something casually, don't sleep anymore, remember to do it yourself Order something to eat." It seems that after moving out of Changping Community, Wang Yang gradually became more talkative. Although the father and son did not see each other for a long time every day, Wang Yang was able to talk to Wang Chao very peacefully. No, even a joke can afford it.

Wang Chao watched Wang Yang go out, thinking a lot of things in his mind, this is good, Wang Yang is gradually coming out of the dreary environment in the past, it doesn't matter if he forgets those days, there is nothing worth reminiscing about.

Wang Yang said that he didn't hear Wang Chao's reply for a long time, and after turning around, he turned around and asked him, "Wang Chao, are you awake? Did you hear what I just said?"

"Ah, um, I heard that."

Wang Yang was no longer worried. Wang Chao had never worried him for so many years. Within a minute, the sound of Wang Yang opening and closing the door came from downstairs.

Wang Chao seemed to be drained of all his strength suddenly, and suddenly lay down on the bed. Just as he lay down, he looked like a cat whose fur had blown up, and then suddenly jumped up from the bed, wrapped in a thin blanket, and couldn't even put on his shoes, stumbling to the ground Run to your room.After running for two steps, he turned back, bent down and lowered his head to scan the sheets carefully twice, and turned to leave after finding nothing unusual.

Wang Chao leaned against the bed, at a loss as to what he was thinking, until the doorbell rang downstairs, and then sat up from the floor in a panic, took two steps and found that he was only wearing a pair of underwear all over his body. The thin blanket on his body also fell to the ground because he got up suddenly.Wang Chao hurriedly pulled out a short-sleeved shirt from the closet and put it on. He reached for the trousers, but felt that his body was very uncomfortable. He took off the underwear he had been wearing all the time, and after looking around for a few times, he found where to put it in the closet. , turned around and stuffed it under the bed, and then went to find a pair of clean underwear to put on.

The doorbell downstairs was two minutes faster than before, Wang Chao bumped and fell on the floor, finally wrapped himself up, and went downstairs to open the door.

Standing outside the door was Qu Jing who just learned about the Wang family's gate yesterday.Qu Jing looked Wang Chao up and down, and said, "Wang Chao, you just woke up, right?" Seeing his dejected face, some people would believe that he was woken up by Qu Jing's ringing of the doorbell.

"No, I woke up early." Wang Chao said with a guilty conscience, and took a step back to let Qu Jing in. In fact, he himself didn't know what time it was or how long he had been awake.

Qu Jing looked at his insincere words, and didn't let it go, so he entered the door and stood at the entrance, without going inside.

Wang Chao greeted, "Come in, there is no one in my house."

Qu Jing was a little embarrassed, and said, "Then what, Wang Chao, let me say a few words first, if you feel bad, you can kick me out." After Qu Jing finished speaking, he glanced at the door. It's like rushing out, and the door is not even closed when you come in.

Wang Chao said "you can do whatever you want" and went back to the room. He needed to clean himself up first, and he didn't know how long he had been up. He didn't eat breakfast, and he didn't wash up.

Qu Jing curled his lips and reached out to close the door. It seemed that he would not die in a while.

After Wang Chao finished packing, it was more than ten minutes later. Qu Jing was sitting on the sofa in the living room, looking up at Wang Chao who was slowly walking downstairs, and said, "Why do I have a kind of angel descending to the world?" illusion."

"It must be because you have done something sorry to me, and you want to atone for your sin." After tidying up and recovering, Wang Chao, with a somewhat unearthly smell, at least remembered that he hadn't eaten breakfast, so he went to the kitchen to get a bag milk, and threw another peach to Qu Jing.

Qu Jing reached out to catch it, with a look of embarrassment on his face, and he was even more embarrassed, and said, "Don't be angry after I've finished talking about Wang Chao."

"It's okay, tell me, I'm not angry." Wang Chao drank the milk in one go, and licked the milk marks on his lips with the tip of his tongue.

It's a pity that if this action was made by a woman, it would even be a bit charming, but it made Qu Jing's hair stand on end, thinking that once he said the purpose of his trip in the next moment, Wang Chao would open his mouth and swallow him.

"Well, Wang Chao..." Qu Jing lowered his head, not daring to look at Wang Chao, and said cautiously in a low voice, "I told my mother that you and I will go to cram school together from next week, and when my mother goes to work in the morning, by the way Help you pay your tuition."

That is to say, Wang Chao can't do without going. Mother Qu must know that Wang Chao is not voluntary, but in order to have a companion for her son, she still pulls Wang Chao on board.

"This is a good thing, I have nothing to be unhappy about." Wang Chao replied.

Qu Jing looked unbelievable. He and Wang Chao have been friends for four or five years. Wang Chao is usually easy to talk to, but that is only on the premise that Wang Chao is happy. Grandpa told grandma that he wouldn't do it, not to mention that this time Qu Jing still played first and then played, without Wang Chao's consent at all.

Seeing that Qu Jing didn't respond, Wang Chao asked again, "Next week starts on Monday? Today is Friday. What did your teacher talk about? I'll familiarize myself with the course this weekend."

"That one didn't have much at the beginning, and the mathematics only covered the second unit."

I don't remember how Qu Jing was sent out by Wang Chao in the end, until the anti-theft door behind him was closed, Qu Jing reached out and touched his buttocks and sighed secretly, he was so lucky that he was not kicked out by Wang Chao.

At night, Wang Yang knocked on the door of Wang Chao's room, "Wang Chao, are you asleep? After getting up in the morning, where did you see my thin blanket?"

Wang Chao opened the door with his upper body bare, lowered his head and dared not look at him, and said, "Seeing that the weather is fine today, I washed the sheets and quilts at home, and they are still hanging on the balcony."

"Oh, I'll go to the balcony to see if it's done." Wang Yang turned and left.
