He talked to his parents about some family matters and the recent situation.

It was calming for Wu Mo.

At 10.00 pm, Wu Mo had no choice but to enter his room and sleep due to his parents’ urging.

Even though the room that belonged to him had been empty for a few months, it was clean and spotless.

Looking at the warm decorations in the room, Wu Mo felt an indescribable feeling.

“It’s still better to stay at home.”

He sighed and climbed into the warm bed.

In fact, he did not have much attachment to the village. To him, as long as his parents and sister were around, any place could feel like home.

Time flew, and the night grew darker.

Wu Mo was not used to sleeping so early, but the soft bed and the room’s atmosphere helped him to fall asleep very quickly.

He opened his drowsy eyes the next morning and got out of bed to draw the dark blue curtains open.

The sunlight outside the window was just right. When he took out his phone, it was already past seven o’clock.

He felt that the sun had risen particularly early today.

However, his mother had already started to prepare breakfast.

By the time he washed up and entered the living room, the air was already filled with the fragrance of rice.

“We have sweet potato porridge this morning. The lady upstairs said that she bought too much, so she gave us some.”

His mother, who was busy in the kitchen, saw her son come out. After speaking to him, she continued cooking.

Meanwhile, his father was fiddling with a fishing rod in the corridor. He was planning to go fishing in the lake behind the neighborhood in the afternoon.

“Good morning, Bro.”

His raven-haired younger sister walked out in her school uniform with a face full of joy. Catching her brother awake early in the morning was the biggest surprise for her.

However, her brother was busy with work as a researcher. He would definitely have to leave soon.

Noticing that the little girl seemed to understand his situation, Wu Mo immediately walked up to her and patted her head.

“Just focus on your studies. It’ll be New Year’s in a few months. I’ll be back by then, won’t I?”

After hearing her brother’s comforting words, little Yan tilted her head and thought for a moment.

“Uh… that checks out,” she said with a smile.

Wu Mo unwittingly smiled when he saw this.

Although his younger sister looked like a mischievous child, she was still little. After being placated by his previous words, she quickly forgot the incident.

Before eight in the morning, Wu Mo had the sweet potato congee.

The large piece of sweet potato in it gave the porridge a different taste. It was quite fragrant.

Not long after he finished eating, his younger sister, little Yan, went to school.

The school she studied at was less than 500 meters away from the neighborhood. So, in the few months she had moved there, she had never asked her parents to send her home. She had always gone home by herself.

Wu Mo watched his sister leave the neighborhood from the window. He felt that his sister was quite sensible.

She never let their parents worry about her, and she cherished the hard-won living conditions she had now.

She was also incredibly diligent in her studies. Unfortunately, his sister did not have the talent to become a blacksmith. Otherwise, she would definitely not lose to her elder brother in terms of skill.

“Son, didn’t you only take a day off? Do you have to go back today?” his mother, who was clearing the dishes, promptly asked when she saw him look out of the window as if he had something on his mind.

“It’s fine, Mom. I’ll just stay at home and keep you company. It’s not easy for me to come here. Are you going to chase me away? ”

Wu Mo knew that his mother was worried about his work, but he still asked the obvious.

“No, I’m a mother. How can I chase my child away? I’m just worried that if you’re away for too long, your company’s leaders will have something to say about it. After all, it’s not easy to resolve things at work.”

He heard his mother’s nagging, but hepursed his lips and snickered. He did not work in a company.

Besides, his contribution was no less than that of other senior researchers. Unless there was a problem with his political background, he probably would not be kicked out.

Besides, everything was reasonable in state agencies. Even the leaders would not fire people casually.

However, he did not explain it to his mother. Instead, he just nodded and agreed.

“Be good so that I have nothing to worry about. You can go back to work in the afternoon.”

“Um, alright.”

After seeing Wu Mo nod in agreement, his mother felt relieved.

Although she was just an ordinary farmer, she had the habit of watching the news at eight o’clock every day. Hence, she had some understanding of the current employment situation.

In the morning, Wu Mo and his parents went on a walk around the neighborhood. There were pavilions and rockeries in the area.

There was also a big river not far from the neighborhood.

At certain times, their floor would give them the best angle to watch the tide.

Before Wu Mo could rest for long after lunch, his mother began to urge him to go to work.

Wu Mo felt a little helpless. However, he could see that his parents were healthy and they looked much better than before.

With that, he felt at ease.

At two o’clock in the afternoon, Wu Mo looked at some red bags on the table in shock.

He looked at the eggs, yams, and green beans in the bags.

Wu Mo vaguely recalled the night before he left the village for Shanglin City on his own a few years ago.

Back then, his mother was just the same, afraid that he would not have enough to eat in Shanglin City and that he would live a poor life.

She had asked Wu Mo to take most of the delicious food in the house to the car.

She had made hot sauce, local specialty rice cakes, and egg wraps in the bags.

At that time, his parents were teary when he left the village.

He still remembered that when he boarded the train, he swore to work hard so that one day, he would let his parents live in the city.

“Mom, there’s a free canteen at the office. I don’t need these things,” he said with a helpless smile.

Despite that, he found his mother continuing what she was doing. She was planning to get some sun-dried black-eyed peas for Wu Mo to tie up.

“Eat well. If you lose weight again after the new year, you’re going to be in trouble.”

Hearing his mother’s slightly threatening tone, Wu Mo felt a strong warmth.

He did not know whether to laugh or cry. In the end, he could only nod. “I understand, Mom.”

“Do you want me to get you a suitcase? It’s not going to be easy for you to carry these things,” Fang Huilan said after some thought once she prepared everything and looked at the pile of bags on the table.

“No need. I’ll keep these ‘props.'”

Wu Mo smiled and shook his head. Then, he stretched out his hand and waved it in front of his mother.

He spoke like a child showing off his toy.

When Fang Huilan saw the silver ring on her son’s hand, her first reaction was to wonder if it was a gift from a girl.

She did not think that this thing would have any other function.

However, Wu Mo smiled mysteriously and snapped his fingers in front of his mother.

The next second, a white light appeared in the living room.

In a flash, the seven or eight bags of food on the table had all disappeared.

“What do you think? This son of yours designed it. Isn’t it awesome?”
