However, after living in Shanglin City for the past few months, Wu Mo’s mother, Fang Huilan’s complexion was clearly much better than before.
“Mom, I’m back.”
Wu Mo quickly ran up and walked to his mother with a smile.
“Son, aren’t you working in some department? How come you’re free to come back and see us?”
Fang Huilan immediately went forward to pull Wu Mo into her embrace. She looked him up and down, wanting to see how her son had been living outside for the past few months and see if he had lost weight.
Fortunately, Wu Mo had been living a good life in the military guest house for the past few days. He had a regular diet and his pale complexion, as well as dark circles, had disappeared.
Wu Mo felt a little guilty and quickly changed the subject.
“Mom, it’s getting dark outside. Let’s go in quickly. By the way, how is Little Yan’s studies going?”
Hearing her son’s urging, Fang Huilan swiftly pulled him toward the elevator.
At the same time, she smiled and said, “Your sister’s doing very well in her studies. Ever since she changed schools, she’s received a more comprehensive education. Her results have skyrocketed. Now, she’s basically in the top five in her class.”
At the mention of his sister’s grades and recent events, his mother immediately opened her mouth and told Wu Mo about everything that had happened since they moved from the countryside until now.
It had only taken two days for the mayor to arrange everything, including sending officials to help them settle down and move into the neighborhood.
They also enjoyed the benefits of the “talent settlement” program. The houses in the community had been renovated, so all they had to do was carry their bags and move in. There would also be free rent for the first three years.
In the past, old Wu and Fang Huilan would not have dared to even think about such a thing.
Now, however, they were experiencing the life of a city person.
At first, the two elders were not used to it, but the neighbors in the community lived in harmony. It was like a military compound, and only the family members of talented people who had made contributions to the country could live there.
Their close relationship with the neighbors allowed the two elders to quickly adapt to the pace of life there.
At the same time, little Yan had also been enrolled in the best school for ordinary citizens in Shanglin City.
While it was not as highly regarded as the Divine Arms Academy, it was still a great school.
Since it was a public school, there was no worry about studying there.
Ordinary people would not become important figures like blacksmiths or cultivators.
However, science was also a branch of the country’s development. If an ordinary person became a scientist, there would be a chance to change his fate.
Knowing that all of this was hard to come by, little Yan studied much harder than she did back in the countryside.
The entire family knew that all of this was thanks to Wu Mo’s hard work over countless days and nights.
Soon, Wu Mo and his mother walked out of the elevator.
There was a long corridor in front of him.
On the left was the water valve, electric box, and other facilities, while on the right was the house where his parents lived.
It consisted of one unit on the first floor.
Seeing this, Wu Mo raised his eyebrows.
His parents’ quality of life was indeed far from low. It seemed that he was starting to owe Mayor Zhao more and more.
Wu Mo smiled internally as he recalled his encounter with Mayor Zhao on the train.
At the time, he had just graduated and had not made any contributions, yet Mayor Zhao had shown him great concern and even offered to help him settle down.
Ding-dong!
His mother skillfully unlocked the door with her fingerprint. When, Wu Mo walked in and saw the decoration and area inside, he could not help but click his tongue.
The house covered an area of more than 100 square meters. It had three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a living room. There was even a panoramic skylight for viewing.
The environment and conditions were similar to that of his small villa in the Research Department.
Seeing old Wu dozing off on the couch, Wu Mo’s mother, Fang Huilan, shook her head helplessly.
“Old Wu, hurry out and buy some groceries. Our son is back!” she immediately said in dissatisfaction.
That caused his father to wake up from his dream.
“…Our son’s back?”
Old Wu was just about to complain when his wife interrupted his sweet dream.
However, he suddenly felt that something was amiss and quickly turned around in confusion.
He saw his son, Wu Mo, in casual clothes.
…
Forty minutes later, the family sat at the dining table and chatted as they ate.
Although his parents were now living the life of city folk, the content of their conversation was still related to the few acres of land they previously owned, the villagers, and the interesting things that had happened before.
Wu Mo listened with a smile on his face. As his mother spoke, she did not forget to put some meat in his bowl. He felt an unusual warmth in his heart.
“Mom, please stop. It won’t fit the bowl if you continue.”
“Young ones should eat more to grow. Here, have a piece of red braised pork. See if your mom’s cooking has deteriorated.”
His sister, who was wearing a light blue school uniform, chuckled. “Don’t worry, Mom. Your cooking is as good as ever. I believe that Brother thinks so too. It’s just a few pieces of meat. It shouldn’t be a problem, right Brother?”
Looking at the slyness that flashed across little Yan’s beautiful eyes, Wu Mo could only take the risk of becoming fat and throw a piece of soft red braised meat into his mouth.
It was really delicious with its sweet aroma of sugar and meat.
It had been braised until it was soft enough to melt in the mouth, and it was not greasy.
However, the meat seemed to be high in calories, so he could only bear with the pain and pleasure.
The family soon finished their meal.
Wu Mo wanted to help wash the dishes, but his mother stopped him.
“Washing the dishes is part of your dad’s daily routine. You can’t take his job.”
Wu Mo did not know whether to laugh or cry.
He felt that if he were to stay at home every day, he would become a fatty sooner or later, and a spoiled fatty at that.
“Bro, why don’t you tell us about what happened at the Research Department? Are you tired from work?”
Little Yan tilted her head and looked at her brother as she asked with a smile.
Wu Mo looked at his beautiful sister, who was only 13 or 14 years old, and agreed without hesitation.
“Actually, it’s quite easy to work in the unit. I just read books, do some research, write reports, and so on every day. It’s not tiring.” Wu Mo blinked and said with a serious look.
“Alright. I heard that the researchers are all scientists, so they should be researching some new technology or project. Bro, have you had any fun in the past few months?”
Little Yan planned to ask about some other things to satisfy her inner curiosity as well.
However, before she could finish speaking, her mother urged her to do her homework.
“Fine, I’ll ask after I’m done.”
Even though little Yan was a little reluctant, she still walked into the study immediately.
At eight o ‘clock in the evening, the family sat on the couch and watched movies, as well as TV shows, from the 1970s.
Although these classic movies were not much different from the movies in the parallel world, they integrated the current pop culture, such as forging, monsters of all races, and so on.
Wu Mo could also easily understand it.
To him, accompanying his family was more meaningful than the fun of watching movies.
