"Of course, how many days of leave have the company given you in total?" Mother was sitting on a small bench at the door, weaving a basket with bamboo strips. The vegetable picker at home broke down a few days ago, and she was making a new one.
"Not sure. The company has said that they will call me if anything happens." Haoran actually has no idea himself. If he has been trapped in the sealed land, it will not matter whether he goes back or not.
"That's it." While the mother was talking, she didn't pay attention to her hand, and the sharp edge of the bamboo strip slipped, causing a cut on her hand.
"Mom, the thing is broken, just buy a new one." Haoran hurriedly grabbed his mother's hand and said heartbrokenly: "Let's go clean it and put some medicine on it."
"It's okay. I'm thick-skinned. You see there's no blood at all." The mother waved her hand. This kind of small injury was nothing to her. The scratch just happened to fall on a thick layer.
On the calluses, the surface layer of the skin was cut open at best, and apart from leaving a wound, there was no pain at all.
"Mom, I earn quite a lot now. Stop doing these menial jobs, buy a house in the town, and live a comfortable life." Looking at his mother's big hands covered with calluses, Haoran said again
I couldn't help feeling sad.
"There are not many friends in the town, and the life is too leisurely. Your father and I can't get used to it." Mother continued to weave the bamboo basket.
"Then go to SH City and stay with me for a while. I will buy a big house when I get back and pick you up when it is finished." Haoran originally wanted to let his mother go to his place, but he was afraid that her mother would not be used to big cities.
He tactfully asked them to go to the town. But after his mother refused because she didn't know the person, he still tried to put forward his thoughts.
"You have to go to work during the day. I'm afraid it won't be convenient if we go there." The mother glanced at him and wanted to say no, but thinking of the speculation she had with his father last night, she thought it would be better to explore her son's background first.
, so he didn’t say anything to death.
"Convenient, convenient." Haoran said quickly: "In my job, working hours are very casual, and I work at home most of the time, no one cares about me."
"What kind of job do you have?" My mother was stunned after hearing what he said, wondering why she had never heard of this kind of job.
"Freelancer." Haoran said with a dry laugh.
"Freelancer?" My mother suddenly widened her eyes and said, "Of course, you are unemployed?"
She has been staying in this small village for more than 40 years, and her concept could not be simpler. When her son mentioned freelancers, she reminded her of those people in the village who had nothing to do all day long, played mahjong, and hummed little songs.
Idle and lazy people who live off their family's income. Oh my God, my son won't be like them, right?
"Mom, where did you think you were? You're unemployed and you can still have money to send home? What's more, I want to buy a house in SH city to take you to enjoy your life." Haoran quickly comforted her, but he was thinking about it in his heart.
It's getting harder and harder to lie about work. Should I find time to have a good talk with my parents? Maybe they won't be able to accept it.
"That's true." After hearing what Haoran said, the mother's uneasy heart calmed down a lot. Yes, her son has already sent home hundreds of thousands in just a few months since he started working. The boss was also generous last time.
He directly gave 100,000 yuan to his family. With these two sums of money, his family was already considered the richest man in the village.
"Isn't it?" Haoran smiled slightly and said: "Mom, don't think too much. We are in the information age now, and people who really make money are not the kind who sit in the office and type all day long.
"
"What kind of job do you do, and how can you earn so much? Could it be..." This time, my mother no longer doubted whether he had a job, but she was worried about something else.
"Mom, don't worry, it's not your son's turn to do illegal things." Haoran pointed to his nose and said seriously: "People are too upright, and they don't know how to flatter, and their social relations are not good either..."
"Okay, you." The mother was immediately amused by his appearance. He has grown up to be his own pistachio. This son is born well.
"Mom, to be serious, are you willing to come to SH City to spend some time with me?" Haoran grabbed the corner of his mother's clothes and acted coquettishly at her like he was begging for something when he was a child.
"Go, always visit the place where you live." My mother couldn't stand his attack. In other words, ever since she was a child, whenever her son acted like this, she would just nod.
"I knew you were the best." Haoran was overjoyed.
"If I don't go and get familiar with the environment first, how can I go there and take care of my grandson in the future?" the mother said, half jokingly, half seriously.
"Mom, it depends on what you said." Haoran opened his mouth widely and said: "We haven't settled the matter of my daughter-in-law yet. Where are you going to go with this grandson?"
"Why, you haven't got a girlfriend yet?" The mother was stunned and said, "Isn't it true that people nowadays just make friends in college and get married after graduation? Why are you so slow?"
"Mom, who did you hear this from?" Haoran was embarrassed. Even though his mother didn't go out, he still knew a bit about the business. Indeed, there were not many people who hadn't made friends in college, and so did I.
I was treated badly back then, and my personality changed drastically over the years. Otherwise, I might not have had the courage to pursue a beautiful girl back then.
"Isn't that what they say on TV and on the radio?" The mother looked at his appearance and knew that there was no hope for her daughter-in-law for the time being. She couldn't help but sigh. Why is her son so slow in this regard?
"..." Haoran became even more embarrassed.
"Of course, it's not that Mom is talking about you. Most of the playmates in the village who were about the same age as you are now the father and mother of the child, and the worst of them are also engaged. Your speed... ugh." The mother's eyes were filled with regret.
Authentic: "If you think the girls in the city are too delicate and difficult to take care of, I can help you keep an eye on them in the nearby villages to see if there are any suitable ones?"
"No, mother, I just like people in the city." Haoran suddenly flashed the figure of Situ Muyun in his mind and blurted out.
"So, you have someone you like?" When my mother heard this, her eyes lit up.
"It's just a secret crush." Haoran lowered his head in embarrassment. Xiaoyun was not here anyway, so there was nothing wrong with admitting it to her mother. At least, with a shield, she would not go to her own village to make connections.
"Talk to mother quickly..." the mother urged impatiently. She didn't even bother to weave the bamboo basket. She sat directly next to Haoran and stuck her head over.
"Mom, don't be so anxious, right?" Haoran sweated.
"Tell me, I promise to keep it a secret from your father." His mother used the trick she used to lie to him when she was a child and vowed to do so.
"Ahem, when was the first time that Dad didn't know about something I told you within three days?" Haoran muttered.
"I promise, this time it will definitely last more than five days!" Mother rolled her eyes and patted her chest.
"mother……"
In the end, Haoran was unable to resist his mother's curiosity, so he had to sort out his encounter with Xiaoyun and report it. However, he concealed the nature of Piaoxue Studio and did not say that Xiaoyun was
Her boss just described her as a cute and smart rich girl.
"Of course, I am a young lady from a big family. With our family like this, I'm afraid I won't be able to reach such a high place." After hearing this, my mother was filled with joy but with deep worries. She looked around at the ruined earthen walls and tiles of her house and sighed.
He said with a breath.
"Mom, that's why I don't dare to confess." Haoran said: "I don't even want a well-matched fiancé. If I don't care about your son at all, and once the matter is exposed, wouldn't it mean that we can't even be friends?
"
"Well, you have to take care of the young man's affairs yourself." The mother no longer studies the matter. It seems that her son's marriage may be delayed for a long time. There is no other way but to wait. Who will let her
What about such a stubborn son?
"I can't afford to be hurt, I really can't afford to be hurt..." Suddenly, Haoran's cell phone rang again, and it was Wang Lin's sensational singing voice, but this time it was not Xiaoyun who came to see him.
"Haoran? It's me." Professor Wang Bo's voice came over.
"Uncle Wang, it's me." Haoran ran to the side to answer the phone. He was talking about the game in front of his mother because he was afraid that she would guess blindly. ps Since the last time he answered the phone, he received a text message - "From now on
Call me uncle outside the game."
"We have some clues about what happened in the game." Wang Bo's voice sounded relaxed, even with a hint of smile.
"Really, it's so fast. It must be the credit of my uncle." Haoran was extremely excited.
"That's not entirely true." Wang Bo said, "Listen to him, you are trapped in there because you haven't found a way out."
"Myself?" Haoran was stunned.
"That's right, I, Senior Lin, said that as long as you go to the deepest part of the sealed land, you can find a way out." Wang Bo thought for a moment and then said: "It seems that you have some props on you that are enough to allow you to escape.
Get spiritual power there.”
"The deepest part? Props?" Haoran began to search for relevant factors in his mind, but unfortunately, there was no gain.
"If you have time, go back to the game and explore it. It's not convenient for Senior Lin to make it too clear." Wang Bo said: "So many people are already suspected of cheating. After all, Wuji is run independently by the server, and GM is not
You should be involved.”
"I know, Uncle Tian, this is all thanks to you." Haoran thanked him repeatedly.
"I won't say anything else. Your level has returned to zero. You have to work hard to level up after you come out. Even Meng Qiu, a young priest, is already level 49." Wang Bo joked: "She heard that you fell.
I’ve already reached the level, and I even said that I’m going to the Novice Village to take you to spawn monsters.”
"Khan, tell Meili Meng that I accepted it with good intentions." Haoran sweated. Meng Qiu must have good intentions, but if Xiaoyun knew that he was practicing alone with a beautiful girl, it would be troublesome.
After hanging up the phone, Haoran hurriedly said to his mother: "Mom, I'm going back to the room first. You tell dad, don't call me if there's nothing important."
