After some twists and turns, Wu Hao and the others finally entered the community. Under the guidance of the security guards, they drove to the row of single-family villas at the back of the community near the lake.
I originally thought I would have to search hard, but I didn't expect that my stepmother Zhang Xiaoman and sister Wu Tong were already standing on the roadside when they received the call.
"Over there." Wu Hao gestured to Li Wenming.
Li Wenming nodded, then slowly drove the car over and parked in front of the two of them. Wu Hao, who had been prepared for a long time, quickly opened the door and jumped out of the car.
"Aunt Zhang, Xiaotong!"
"Brother!" Upon seeing this, his sister Wu Tong, who was wearing a long black down jacket, quickly stretched out her arms and rushed towards him.
Wu Hao quickly caught it, then rubbed her short hair that was blown by the wind and said, "Hey, she has grown so tall."
"You are already a big girl, how can you be so crazy?" Zhang Xiaoman reprimanded with a smile.
"Brother, why did you come back?" Wu Tong hugged his arm and said coquettishly.
Seeing this, Wu Hao smiled and joked about her fluffy mushroom hair: "Why, the hair is cut so short, it looks like a mushroom."
"If you break the school's requirements, you won't be allowed to go to class if you don't cut it." After Wu Tong heard this, he immediately pouted and complained to him.
Zhang Xiaoman on the other side smiled at the two of them and said, "Okay, let go of your brother. Xiaohao, let's go into the house."
"Okay." Wu Hao nodded, and then introduced to Zhang Xiaoman: "This is my driver, come back with me this time."
"Okay, you've had a hard time on the road. Come on in and park the car in the yard." Zhang Xiaoman looked at Li Wenming and then said enthusiastically to him.
"Okay." Li Wenming nodded and got in the car again. Wu Hao, Zhang Xiaoman and Wu Tong walked into the villa courtyard.
The entire villa has two floors. Although it is not high, it occupies a large area. One side faces the lake and the other side faces the road. The overall greening and environment are good.
When they arrived at the yard, their father, Wu Jianhua, was already standing at the door.
"Dad!" Wu Hao shouted quickly when he saw this.
"Well, why are you back so late?" Wu Jianhua nodded, then looked at Li Wenming who got out of the car.
"There are too many cars on the expressway and it's quite congested. This is my driver Li Wenming. He took me back this time." Wu Hao quickly introduced.
"Okay, come in, it's warm at home!" Wu Jianhua glanced at him, then nodded towards Li Wenming.
"Okay." Wu Hao and Li Wenming then began to move the things in the trunk.
"Xiao Hao, why did you bring so many things? There is everything at home." Zhang Xiaoman quickly stepped forward to help.
"Haha, this is a little thought of mine." Wu Hao said with a smile: "Don't be too busy, just let us do it."
"fine."
"Brother, let me get it for you." Wu Tong took something from his hand and hurriedly carried it home.
Wu Hao smiled, and then he and Li Wenming carried their things and walked in.
When he walked into the living room, he was suddenly enlightened. The huge floor-to-ceiling windows made the living room still bright even if the lights were not turned on. The decoration style of the entire living room was very simple, but also very exquisite. It can be seen that his stepmother spent a lot of thought on the decoration.
.
Even though I just moved in not long ago, everything is filled with the atmosphere of life. For example, there are a few orange trees full of oranges placed in the corner, the big red national knot at the corner of the building, etc.
Looking at the various things arranged in a small mountain in the living room, Wu Jianhua couldn't help but frowned and said, "Why are there so many things?"
"Some of them are specialties that were given to me by others when I was on a business trip, and some of them are things that I picked up and bought on a daily basis. It's useless for me to keep them, so I brought them all back to you."
As he spoke, Wu Hao took out a gift box from the bag and handed it to Wu Jianhua and said: "Dad, this is the Longjing tea that Lao Ma gave to me when I went to Hangzhou. You know that I don't know much about tea and drink it in a wasteful way, so I specially gave it to
You brought it back, you can try it."
"Oh?" Wu Jianhua's eyes lit up and he quickly took the gift box and looked at it.
"Xiao Li, drink tea! Sit down, just like at home, you're welcome." Zhang Xiaoman asked Li Wenming to sit down, then came over with a cup of tea and smiled at him: "You must be exhausted from the road, sit down quickly.
Take a rest and rest.”
"It's okay, Aunt Zhang. These are the jujubes, raisins and some Chinese herbal medicines given to me by the Corps when I was inspecting Western Xinjiang. You can keep them to make porridge." Wu Hao pointed to the two cardboard boxes.
smiled.
"Okay, you sit down and I'll clean it up." After asking him to sit down, Zhang Xiaoman walked over and cleaned it up. While doing so, he exchanged the surprise with Wu Jianhua with a smile on his face.
"Old Wu, look at such a big jujube!"
"These raisins, one by one, are not cheap."
"This is Codonopsis pilosula, Angelica sinensis, so many medicinal materials."
…
"Haha, they forced it into my car. I didn't look carefully." Wu Hao looked at Zhang Xiaoman who looked happy and said with a smile. Although he was a little uncomfortable with this stepmother, he couldn't really
Accept it, but still have deep feelings.
So seeing her happy, Wu Hao was naturally happy too.
But while they were happy, Wu Tong beside them was sitting there with a pout, motionless looking at the pile of things that his mother was packing.
It was Wu Jianhua who first noticed her abnormality. He almost loved this daughter to the heavens.
"Ahem, did you bring a gift for your sister when you came back this time?" Wu Jianhua glanced at him, then looked at his daughter and smiled.
Wu Hao reacted and then looked at Wu Tong, and sure enough he found this little girl sitting there pouting, looking like she was about to cry.
"Ah, I forgot, why don't I give you some dog-head dates to eat, they will be sweet." Wu Hao joked with a smile.
Wu Tong's lips pursed even longer when he heard this, his eyes began to twinkle, and tears kept rolling in his eyes, as if they were about to fall.
"Well, your brother lied to you." Zhang Xiaoman rolled her eyes at him, and then handed a beautifully packaged box to Wu Tong.
Upon seeing this, Wu Tong quickly took the box, glanced at him, and then quickly lowered his head and opened the gift box.
"Wow, so beautiful!" There is a pendant lying in the middle of the box. The main body of this pendant is a pale pink pearl, which is almost three centimeters. The pearl is wrapped in platinum-carved vines, which is very beautiful.
"It's too expensive. She's still in school now. She can't bring this with her, and it's not safe." Zhang Xiaoman couldn't help complaining to Wu Hao when she saw the pendant on her daughter's hand.
Wu Hao smiled and said, "It's okay. You can keep it for now and take it with you when you grow up."
"Hehe, thank you, brother!" Wu Tong held the jewelry box and squinted his eyes with a happy smile.
"As long as you like it." Wu Hao smiled and nodded, feeling relieved. In fact, this pendant was not given by him at all, but by Lin Wei on her own initiative after learning that he had a sister.
As for how much it cost, he didn't ask. Lin Wei said that it was just a thank you gift for the purple jade teardrop pendant he gave him before. Ordinary pearls are not expensive, but the price of high-quality large pearls like this is generally not low.
In addition, Lin Wei also gave Zhang Xiaoman a set of famous cosmetics and Wu Jianhua a stone inkstone, all of which he asked him to bring back. In fact, he understood what Lin Wei was thinking, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly.
I laughed. On the one hand, it was difficult to refuse this girl's kindness. On the other hand, I felt that it was nothing, just some gifts.
