Chapter 432: Suddenly Grown Up
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Xu Wenping only frowned slightly, then quickly walked to the dining room. Thatâs 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. âHey, is Mom back?â
âYeah, sheâs been back for a while now. It wasnât that long after you went downstairs that your mother came up.â
âOh, 1 was wondering. Iâve been downstairs all this time and 1 havenât seen her. Okay, 1â11 wash my hands now.â
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.
âHave you washed your hands?â
âYes, yes. Iâve washed my hands. Mom, the food you made smells really good.â
âSo what if it smells good? I bought this duck especially for you today.â
âAlright, alright. The child has already found a stable job. Itâs 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 futureâŠâ
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?
âBy the way, did you buy the emergency lights that I asked you to buy?â
âHehe, you really donât say. I bought it at the right time. It just arrived today. I just took it out. Wait a minute, 1â11 light it up right away.â
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 didnât feel like an ordinary light, this kind of emergency light could still be used at a critical moment.
âDad, why did the power go out all of a sudden? Whatâs going on? Is the circuit broken? Will the power come back on later?â
âKid, have you forgotten that we always have a blackout at this time every night?â
âWhat did you say? Thereâs a blackout every day? Whatâs going on?â
âWhatâs the situation? Itâs because the conflict between us and the property management hasnât 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.â
âDidnât anyone go look for them? Could it be that there is no place for reason in this world? Itâs always so restrictive. The weather is better now. How will we spend the summer in the future?â
âHow? Weâll live however we want. Havenât we been living like this for the past few years? Alright, letâs not talk about this. Come, letâs hurry up and eat.â
As he spoke, Xu Huaiyou greeted them warmly. Then, the family of three sat around the dining table.
âYouâve contributed the most, so this duck leg is your reward. Next, you must eat well and grow some brains. Youâll be going to work tomorrow. When you get to work, get along well with your colleagues, understand?â
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.
âThank you, Mom. Thank you, Dad. Donât worry. I wonât let you down. Iâll do better and better.â
âGood, good boy. Iâm already content with your words. No matter how much Iâve sacrificed before, I feel that itâs worth it. Oh right, do you have white wine at home? How can we not drink to celebrate such a happy event?â
âAre you alright? With your blood pressure, why are you still drinking? You should just drink some water.â
âHehe, alright, alright. Aiya, Iâm 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.â
âDad, donât worry. There will be many days like this in the future. Also, I will definitely let you live the best life.â
âHey, 1 love to hear you say that. Come, letâs have tea instead of wine. 1 wish you a smooth journey in your work. Cheers.â
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.
âMom, 1â11 help you clean up later.â
âHey, kid, youâre not bad today. This is the first time in so many years that youâve offered to help your mother? Whatâs wrong? Did something go wrong?â
It seemed that Xu Wenping was also seriously unfilial at home. He really couldnât understand what use such a young man had at home.
âI suddenly feel that itâs actually quite hard on you. Youâve been taking care of this family alone for so many years. Youâve done so much for the family, for my father, and for me. So, Iâll definitely let you enjoy a comfortable life in the future and let others serve you.â
âAiya, 1 donât even dare to think about letting others serve me. Iâm already very, very happy that youâre able to say these words to me. Alright, you two should go over there and rest for a while. Thereâs no electricity. No, if youâre tired, you should rest early. Donât you have to wake up early tomorrow? Donât worry, Iâll get up early tomorrow to prepare food for you.â
âAlright, I understand.â
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..
