As Zhang Jun and Zou Xiaodong went home for the New Year, Wu Hao's life became monotonous. Because the company is on holiday, all departments have put seals on them and handed them over to Wei Bing to manage.

As for Wu Hao, he couldn't go to the laboratory and stayed at home all day, tinkering with what he was interested in.

With the arrival of the thirtieth year, the New Year's flavor of the whole city is getting stronger and stronger, and everyone has set out as a family to buy New Year's goods for their families.

Wu Hao is alone, so there is nothing to buy New Year's goods. But in the end, it was the Chinese New Year, and he took Li Wenming to the supermarket to buy it.

However, for him, who is not very good at cooking, most of the food he buys is fast food. What quick-frozen dumplings, instant noodles, braised pork, bread and the like. At most, buy some vegetables such as lettuce cherry tomatoes and eat them together.

When your dreams come alive you’re unstoppable……

"Hello?"

The phone rang, and although he hesitated, he answered the phone.

"Hey, Xiaohao, have you eaten?" A familiar woman's voice came from the phone.

Wu Hao glanced at the instant noodle box on the coffee table that had just been eaten and had not been thrown away, nodded and said, "Just eat, have you eaten it?" ”

"We ate, how are you doing over there. Why don't you come back, your dad and your sister miss you a lot. The woman's voice came back on the phone.

This woman's name is Zhang Xiaoman, and she is his stepmother. After his mother left, it didn't take long for his father, who couldn't bear the loneliness, to find the stepmother for him.

After Zhang Xiaoman married his father, he soon gave birth to a younger sister. My eight-year-old sister who is younger than myself.

At that time, Wu Hao hated this woman very much, and always thought that this woman killed his mother, took away his father, and destroyed the family.

So since Zhang Xiaoman entered the house, Wu Hao has never handed her a "mom". Although he was coerced and lured by his father countless times during this period, he never let go.

However, with the passage of time, Wu Hao also grew up slowly. He also understood that his mother's death had nothing to do with her, but he still couldn't accept that she had taken his mother's place.

Over the years, this woman has generally treated him well, so the relationship between the two has eased a lot, but he has not changed his words.

"I'm fine here, you don't have to worry. I'm busy with this, so I'm not going back this year. Wu Hao tried his best to pretend to be happy.

"You kid, now that you've grown up, you won't even go home." Zhang Xiaoman complained a little.

Wu Hao hurriedly explained: "No, don't think about it, I'm just busy with work here, so I didn't go home." Don't worry, when I'm free, I'll go home to see you and my dad. ”

"By the way, how is Wu Tong's exam this year?" Wu Hao hurriedly changed the topic.

Seeing Wu Hao's evasion of this aspect, Zhang Xiaoman could only sigh and said: "That dead girl now knows how to play games all day long, and her grades have regressed." Last semester, I was in the top five, but this year it's down to twenty-five, and I'm so angry. ”

"I haven't regressed, my score this semester is five points higher than last semester. Let me tell my brother, let me tell my brother. ”

There was a sudden chattering sound on the phone, and the corners of Wu Hao's mouth couldn't help but smile.

Wu Tong, his half-sister. Although he was born to Zhang Xiaoman, he has been particularly pestering Wu Hao since he was a child. Because of this, the relationship with him is very good.

"Brother, brother, why don't you come back for the New Year this year." Wu Tong's complaining voice came from the phone.

"Hey, Xiaotong, I don't have something to do this year." Wu Hao said with a smile.

Wu Tong was a little unhappy and said: "If you don't come back, no one will accompany me to set off firecrackers." ”

"How old are you, and you're still playing here." Wu Hao joked with a smile.

"No, people are much bigger than me to play." Wu Tong complained.

Wu Hao smiled and said, "Okay, wait for next year, I'll have fun with you." Why, I heard your mom say that you're now addicted to games and your academic performance has regressed. ”

"Don't take his word for it, I'm five points higher than last semester's final exam. Brother, you don't know, the questions in the final of this semester are particularly biased, and many of the good students in our grade have failed this exam. On the contrary, those who usually study averagely, and they don't know how their scores are suddenly high. Wu Tong tried to explain to him on the phone.

Wu Hao smiled and said, "In this way, it has nothing to do with you playing games." ”

"Of course it doesn't matter, I just play two games with my classmates every night, and my classmates play it." Wu Tong said in an affirmative tone.

"That's fine, just don't affect the school." Wu Hao admonished.

"Got it, you're as verbose as your mother. I didn't tell you, did you tell my dad? Wu Tong said impatiently.

Wu Hao hesitated for a moment, and then responded: "You give him the phone." ”

"Oh, brother, bye-bye, Happy New Year!"

After speaking, Wu Tong's shout came from inside the phone: "Dad, my brother's phone!" ”

After a while, a deep voice came from the phone: "Hey. ”

"Hey, Dad." Wu Hao hesitated, but shouted anyway.

"Well, how's it going over there?" The voice of his father, Wu Jianhua, came from the phone.

Wu Hao replied: "It's okay." ”

"When you're out alone, you have to take good care of yourself, you know."

"yes, I know." Wu Hao responded.

Wu Jianhua was silent for a while and asked, "Has your work been going well recently?" ”

"Also, it's a little busy." Wu Hao nodded and said.

"It's time for young people to work hard, so it's better to be busy. But also pay attention to your body, don't forget everything when you get busy. ”

Wu Jianhua paused for a moment and then said, "A few days ago, your mother changed the futon on your bed with a new one, thinking that you could come back." Now that she knows that you can't come back, she has hid and wiped her tears. ”

"When I'm done, I'll go home and see you." Speaking of this, Wu Hao's eyes suddenly moistened. However, he still replied with force: "You should pay more attention to your body and don't get tired." ”

"Still won't you call her Mom?" Wu Jianhua's somewhat reproachful voice came from the phone.

"I, I can't call it." Wu Hao stammered.

There was silence on the phone for a long time, and finally there was a sigh of taste: "Forget it, don't talk about it for the New Year, you pay attention to your body." That's it, hanging. ”

Hearing the blind voice on the phone, Wu Hao showed a bitter expression.

It's been so many years, it's not easy to change your words. Although Zhang Xiaoman treats him very well, basically no different from his own son, Wu Hao always can't pass this level in his heart.

I don't know how, I almost screamed out several times, but when the words came to my mouth, I swallowed them back. He could feel Zhang Xiaoman's disappointed expression, so he tried to avoid her every time.

So, he lived in junior high school and high school, and he was directly admitted to Anzai in college.

Originally, he just wanted to escape from home, but he didn't want to be out of town, but he was even more homesick.

Home is like a besieged city, and we are young people who want to escape and get free.

But when we grow up, we find that home is like a warm little harbor. After experiencing the wind and rain outside, we have been thinking about going home for many days and nights.

Sighing, Wu Hao shook his head slightly.

Home, he'll go back, just not now.
