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

As for Wu Hao, if he can't go to the lab, he stays at home all day, tinkering with things he is interested in.

With the arrival of the 30th, the whole city's New Year's flavor has become stronger and stronger, and everyone has dispatched their families to buy New Year's goods for their families.

Wu Hao is alone, so he has nothing to buy for the new year. But it was the Chinese New Year, and he took Li Wenming to the supermarket to buy things.

But 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 like lettuce and cherry tomatoes and eat them together.

When your dreams come alive you’re unstoppable…

"Hey?"

The phone rang for a while, and although he hesitated, he still got the call.

"Hey, Xiaohao, have you eaten yet?" A familiar female voice came from the phone.

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

"We ate, how was your time there. Why don't you come back, your father and sister miss you a lot." The woman's voice came from the phone again.

This woman's name is Zhang Xiaoman, and she is his stepmother. After his mother left, his father, who couldn't bear the loneliness, found this stepmother for him not long after.

After Zhang Xiaoman married his father, he soon gave birth to a younger sister. A younger sister eight years younger.

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

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

But as time passed, 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 took his mother's place.

This woman has been generally good to him over the years, 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 matter, so I won't go back this year." Wu Hao tried his best to pretend to be happy.

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

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

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

Seeing Wu Hao evading this aspect, Zhang Xiaoman could only sigh and say, "That dead girl knows how to play games all day long now, and her grades have dropped. Last semester, she was in the top five, but this year it's down to twenty-five. It's maddening me."

"I haven't regressed. My grades this semester are five points higher than last semester. Let me tell my brother, let me tell my brother."

There was a sudden chatter on the phone, and Wu Hao couldn't help but smile.

Wu Tong, his half-sister. Although he was born by Zhang Xiaoman, he has always been attached to Wu Hao since he was a child. That's why I have a very good relationship with him.

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

"Hey, Xiaotong, I have something to do this year." Wu Hao smiled.

Wu Tong said a little unhappily: "If you don't come back, no one will set off firecrackers with me."

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

"I don't, people who are much older than me are playing." Wu Tong complained bitterly.

Wu Hao laughed and said: "Okay, wait for next year, I'll have a good time with you. Why, I heard your mother say that you are addicted to games now, and your academic performance has declined."

"Don't listen to his nonsense, I am five points higher than last semester's final exam. Brother, you don't know, the questions at the end of the semester are particularly biased, and many of our grades have studied well in this exam. I don't know why my grades are suddenly high." Wu Tong tried to explain to him on the phone.

Wu Hao smiled and said, "So, it doesn't matter if you play games."

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

"That's good, just don't affect the school." Wu Hao urged.

"Understood, you're as long-winded as Mom. Don't tell you, did you tell Dad?" Wu Tong said impatiently.

Wu Hao hesitated for a moment, then replied, "Give him the phone."

"Oh, bye bye brother, happy new year!"

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

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

"Hey, Dad." Wu Hao hesitated for a moment, but still shouted.

"Well, how is it over there." The voice of his father Wu Jianhua came from the phone.

Wu Hao replied, "It's okay."

"You have to take good care of yourself when you are out alone, you know?"

"Well, I know." Wu Hao replied.

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

"Also, I'm just a little busy." Wu Hao nodded.

"Young people are working hard, it's better to be busy. But you should also pay attention to your body, you know, don't forget everything as soon as you get busy."

Wu Jianhua paused for a while and then said, "A few days ago, your mother replaced the quilt on your bed with a new one, thinking you could come back. Now that she knows you won't come back, she hid and wiped her tears."

"I'll go home and see you when I'm done." Speaking of this, Wu Hao's eyes suddenly became wet. But he still resisted and replied: "You have to pay more attention to your body and don't get tired."

"You still refuse to call her mom?" Wu Jianhua's reproachful voice came over the phone.

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

There was silence on the phone for a long time, and finally there was a sigh of taste: "Forget it, let's not talk about this for the New Year's Eve, you should pay attention to your body. That's it, hang up."

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

It's been so many years, it's easier said than done. Although Zhang Xiaoman treats him very well, basically no different from his own son, but Wu Hao can't pass the test in his heart.

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

Therefore, he lived on campus in junior high school and high school, and he was directly admitted to Anxi in university.

Originally, he just wanted to escape from home, but he didn't want to be in a foreign place, but he was even more homesick.

Home is like a besieged city. When we were young, we thought about how to escape and wanted to be free.

But when we grow up, we find that home is like a warm little harbor. We have experienced storms and waves outside, and we are thinking about going home many days and nights.

Sighing, Wu Hao shook his head slightly.

Home, he will go back, but not now.
