Chapter 432: Suddenly Grown Up

Xu Wenping only frowned slightly, then quickly walked to the dining room. That’s right, he saw that there was a sauce duck on the dining table.

It turned out that this fragrance came from this sauce duck.

His father said that he loved to eat it, but he was afraid that it was not just him. Anyone who asked about this tempting taste would probably be immersed in it. “Hey, is Mom back?”

“Yeah, she’s been back for a while now. It wasn’t that long after you went downstairs that your mother came up.”

“Oh, 1 was wondering. I’ve been downstairs all this time and 1 haven’t seen her. Okay, 1’11 wash my hands now.”

As he spoke, Xu Wenping quickly walked into the bathroom. Then, he washed his hands briefly and walked out of the bathroom.

At this moment, he saw Zhao Haiying carrying two dishes and placing them on the table.

“Have you washed your hands?”

“Yes, yes. I’ve washed my hands. Mom, the food you made smells really good.”

“So what if it smells good? I bought this duck especially for you today.”

“Alright, alright. The child has already found a stable job. It’s up to him to perform well from now on. Remember, you must make a statement to your mother today. You must be good in the future…”

Before he could finish his sentence, the lights suddenly went out.

At that time, Xu Wenping was only stunned for a moment. Why would there be a power outage all of a sudden?

In his impression, there were very few blackouts in big cities nowadays. Could there be other reasons for the blackout?

“By the way, did you buy the emergency lights that I asked you to buy?”

“Hehe, you really don’t say. I bought it at the right time. It just arrived today. I just took it out. Wait a minute, 1’11 light it up right away.”

As he spoke, he quickly walked over. Then, he touched the darkness and took out a black thing from the side.

He simply tapped on it a few times, and soon, the emergency light lit up the room. It was indeed illuminated.

Although it didn’t feel like an ordinary light, this kind of emergency light could still be used at a critical moment.

“Dad, why did the power go out all of a sudden? What’s going on? Is the circuit broken? Will the power come back on later?”

“Kid, have you forgotten that we always have a blackout at this time every night?”

“What did you say? There’s a blackout every day? What’s going on?”

“What’s the situation? It’s because the conflict between us and the property management hasn’t been resolved yet. So, as long as they come at night, at this time, the power will go out immediately. But, at 8 am tomorrow morning, it will come back on time. Think about it. Who is at home during the day? They are always at home at night. Let me tell you, these people are deliberately torturing us.”

“Didn’t anyone go look for them? Could it be that there is no place for reason in this world? It’s always so restrictive. The weather is better now. How will we spend the summer in the future?”

“How? We’ll live however we want. Haven’t we been living like this for the past few years? Alright, let’s not talk about this. Come, let’s hurry up and eat.”

As he spoke, Xu Huaiyou greeted them warmly. Then, the family of three sat around the dining table.

“You’ve contributed the most, so this duck leg is your reward. Next, you must eat well and grow some brains. You’ll be going to work tomorrow. When you get to work, get along well with your colleagues, understand?”

As Zhao Haiying spoke, she placed the duck legs in front of the father and son.

In fact, Xu Wenping could feel that although his mother was indeed a little strict with him, she still loved him very much at the critical moment.

“Thank you, Mom. Thank you, Dad. Don’t worry. I won’t let you down. I’ll do better and better.”

“Good, good boy. I’m already content with your words. No matter how much I’ve sacrificed before, I feel that it’s worth it. Oh right, do you have white wine at home? How can we not drink to celebrate such a happy event?”

“Are you alright? With your blood pressure, why are you still drinking? You should just drink some water.”

“Hehe, alright, alright. Aiya, I’m really sorry. Kid, when you start work, you have to learn to drink a little. When the time comes, you can also have a drink with Dad during the holidays.”

“Dad, don’t worry. There will be many days like this in the future. Also, I will definitely let you live the best life.”

“Hey, 1 love to hear you say that. Come, let’s have tea instead of wine. 1 wish you a smooth journey in your work. Cheers.”

As he spoke, Xu Huaiyou picked up the cup of tea in front of him, then lightly touched it, and downed the tea in one gulp.

The meal was a happy and lively one. After all, a big matter in their family had been resolved.

With one more person, there would be one more income. Moreover, the burden on the family might be reduced.

“Mom, 1’11 help you clean up later.”

“Hey, kid, you’re not bad today. This is the first time in so many years that you’ve offered to help your mother? What’s wrong? Did something go wrong?”

It seemed that Xu Wenping was also seriously unfilial at home. He really couldn’t understand what use such a young man had at home.

“I suddenly feel that it’s actually quite hard on you. You’ve been taking care of this family alone for so many years. You’ve done so much for the family, for my father, and for me. So, I’ll definitely let you enjoy a comfortable life in the future and let others serve you.”

“Aiya, 1 don’t even dare to think about letting others serve me. I’m already very, very happy that you’re able to say these words to me. Alright, you two should go over there and rest for a while. There’s no electricity. No, if you’re tired, you should rest early. Don’t you have to wake up early tomorrow? Don’t worry, I’ll get up early tomorrow to prepare food for you.”

“Alright, I understand.”

He nodded with a smile and simply helped to clean up the table. Then, he walked over.

Xu Wenping saw Xu Huaiyou fixing a radio with his head lowered..
