He Chunlan, who was cooking in the kitchen at this time, hurriedly ran out wearing an apron and saw that the son she had been thinking about day and night was back.
He Chunlan's tears fell at that moment. She walked slowly to Wang Mo, stretched out her hand to touch Wang Mo's face, and said softly: "I have grown taller, but I have also become darker and thinner."
"Mom, I'm back." Wang Mo, who had a thousand words to say, could only say these few words at this time.
"It's good to be back, it's good to be back." He Chunlan said and hugged Wang Mo, who was already half a head taller than her.
Wang Mo also hugged He Chunlan hard. Although this nominal mother only existed in Wang Mo's memory, Wang Mo could feel her deep love for him at this moment.
After the mother and son let go, He Chunlan looked at Wang Mo carefully, as if she wanted to complete all the memories of her son over the years.
"Mom, are you still cooking in the kitchen?" Xiaolan reminded He Chunlan.
"Ah? Xiaomo, please sit down by yourself first, Xiaolan quickly pour water for your brother!" After He Chunlan said that, he hurried to the kitchen, looking like he was in a hurry.
Xiaolan stuck out her tongue and went to pour water for Wang Mo.
Looking at everything familiar in front of him, Wang Mo felt a kind of family atmosphere. Although other people in northern Shaanxi treated him very well, they were not his relatives after all, and they did not feel this way.
After a while, He Chunlan came out with rice and gave Xiaolan some meat tickets and money.
"Xiaolan, go buy some cooked meat."
"No, Mom, I'm not leaving right away. Will my dad be back at noon?" Wang Mo
He Chunlan shook her head and said: "He doesn't have time to come back at noon, he will probably come back in the evening."
"Then let's make a sumptuous dinner in the evening, celebrate as a family, and just have a simple bite at noon." Wang Mo
Seeing her son's insistence, He Chunlan could only agree, "Okay, tell mom what you want to eat tonight, and I'll buy it when you get off work in the afternoon."
"As long as it's made by you, Mom, I love to eat it." Wang Mo said with a smile.
Although the three of them had a simple meal at home at noon, it was very warm. He Chunlan's smile did not fade away at noon, and she was always cheerful.
He Chunlan said to Wang Mo before going to work: "If you want to go out for a walk, just go out for a walk. Just remember to come back early in the evening."
"No, Mom, I'm going to take a nap in the afternoon. I didn't have a good rest on the train, so I just need to catch up on some sleep." Wang Mo
"Okay, then you have a good rest at home. Xiaolan, don't disturb your brother in the afternoon. Go out and play for a while and come back in the evening." He Chunlan said to her daughter.
"Am I your biological child? Why is my treatment so different?" Xiaolan pouted and said dissatisfiedly.
When He Chunlan came to the unit, she immediately called Wang Lichun's office and told him that her son was back.
On the phone, Wang Lichun even hummed something like "If he has the ability, don't come back", but was scolded by He Chunlan.
"I'm telling you, don't show off to me when you come back in the evening. If you make your son unhappy, you'll be the one to look good."
After hanging up the phone, Wang Lichun took the phone and said helplessly, "Who is whose father?"
When getting off work in the evening, when Wang Lichun saw that it was time to get off work, he quickly packed up and prepared to go home.
At this time, a deputy director of the bureau came over and said that a dinner had been arranged for the evening, but Wang Lichun waved his hand and said: "Not today, you can go, my son is back, I have to go home."
After saying that, he hurried away, leaving the deputy director muttering to himself, "Didn't you want to sever ties with your son before?"
When Wang Lichun came back, He Chunlan hadn't come back yet and was shopping outside.
Wang Mo only got up after sleeping for a few hours in the afternoon. He had just gotten up and was about to drink some water. At this time, the door of his house opened. Wang Mo saw his father coming in and said, "Dad, you're off work!"
Originally, Wang Lichun would not look down upon Wang Mo, but after hearing the word "Dad" and seeing his son's skinny and dark appearance, no matter how hard-hearted he was, he could no longer be tough.
Wang Lichun held back his tears and said, "You brat, you still know how to go home!"
Wang Lichun punched Wang Mo in the chest, and the father and son just looked at each other and smiled. After several years of estrangement, all their opinions disappeared without a trace as soon as they met.
When He Chunlan came back, she saw the father and son chatting in the living room. The main thing was what Wang Mo said.
Sometimes I would tell him, but he still wanted to hear Wang Mo say it with his own ears.
He Chunlan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the father and son had reconciled. He was afraid that Wang Lichun would get angry and fall out with his son again regardless of it.
The meal in the evening was very sumptuous, including meat and fish, and a large table was set up, which a family of four could not finish.
After sitting down, Wang Mo saw the table of dishes and said with a smile: "Mom, you made so much, we can't finish it!"
"It's okay. I can't finish the leftovers. Mom just wants to make up for all the food I haven't cooked for you in these years." He Chunlan said with a smile.
Wang Lichun also took out his treasured Moutai and poured Wang Mo a glass himself, "I'm happy today. Let's drink some with Dad."
"Okay, then I will try Moutai today. When I was in northern Shaanxi, I didn't have the opportunity to drink such good wine." Wang Mo said with a smile.
Wang Lichun was so happy today. Not only was his son back, but Wang Mo had just told him what he was doing when he returned to Beijing this time.
Wang Lichun, who works in a government agency, certainly knows the concept of a national model worker. This is already the highest honor in the local area, just like a fighting hero in the army. With this honor in the future, whether it is work or other things, it will save a lot of trouble.
, because you have participated in the country's decision-making as a working class person.
"Come, let's raise a toast as a family. One is to celebrate Xiao Mo's return, and the other is to celebrate his being a model worker in a few days." Wang Lichun said happily.
He Chunlan only knew the news at this time. She asked Wang Mo in surprise, "Son, is this true?"
Wang Mo nodded, and He Chunlan was so happy that she burst into tears. Although she saw her son this time, she also knew that the environment in northern Shaanxi was definitely not good when she saw his son's appearance, and she was also worried about her son's future.
future.
His son has his own ideas and will not follow the family's arrangements. However, the prospects for discovery in northern Shaanxi are certainly much worse than those in the capital. Now that he heard that his son has been awarded the National Model Worker, He Chunlan once again
