"Aiyoh, why you take so long to come home, huh?"
"Sorry, mom."
I scratched my head and bowed apologetically. My parents seemed relieved to see me again, but my mom was a little impatient, probably because I hadn't visited for a long time now.
"It's fine, it's fine. At last Cong is home now, right?" Dad beamed and placed a hand on my shoulder. "I'll treat you to a meal tonight!"
"Oh, thanks." It had been a while since I had dinner with my parents, so I was looking forward to this.
"Whoa, so lucky seah. Come home can eat good food." Mom was teasing me. I shrugged.
"That's the perks of being a son."
"Aiyah, your father no money already, still want to show off."
"Hey, at least give me some face, can or not? My son come home once in a while, it's a happy occasion. Of course I want to have good food with him."
