Chapter 8 Endgame, Mom and Dad

The familiar warehouse, even if it has some burning smell, still makes Wang Zhilong feel peaceful, and everything that happened before is like a dream.

The lunch box brought by Zhao Nan on the table was still there, but the rice and vegetables in it were already cold. But for Wang Zhilong, who was already hungry, even the cold food was now more delicious than any delicacies.

After eating the cold food in the lunch box like a wolf, I couldn't help but burp because I was too anxious. Then I breathed a sigh of relief and leaned on the chair with my head and eyes closed. Suddenly I felt so good to be alive.

Suddenly, a harsh sound of the rolling gate pulling up made Wang Zhilong shudder open his eyes and sit up straight. With the dazzling sunlight, a middle-aged man in a gray suit with a briefcase under his armpit walked in from outside. When he saw the situation in the warehouse, he smelled the remaining burning smell, and then looked at some piles of burning traces of the accumulated goods. He couldn't help but glared at Wang Zhilong and yelled: "Wang Zhilong, what's going on?"

"What's going on? How do I know what's going on? I'm alone here, and I'm just here, and I'm not responding to the fire, and I'm not working. I'm here to be a warehouse manager, not a firefighter, and I almost burned to death," Wang Zhilong, who was so panicked that he heard him roar, but he was inexplicably yelling and yelling in his heart.

Seeing Wang Zhilong's clothes and his whole body was smoky and smoky, the middle-aged man who was slightly stuck could not help but hurried forward and asked nervously: "Is it okay? Is it the fire you put out?"

"Can you still wait for you to kill me?" Wang Zhilong turned his eyes to the middle-aged man in anger, and the middle-aged man was choked again when he heard it.

"You..., your child, why don't you call the fire when it's on fire? What's the fire?" The middle-aged man couldn't help frowning and said, "Now it's like this, why do you tell me to explain to the boss!"

Wang Zhilong said, "How can I know what the fire is? I found that it was on fire, so I quickly rushed to put out the fire. It seems that the fire was caught first by the wires. Maybe the line was aging and suddenly it burned! I was just trying to put out the fire, so I didn't care about anything else. Besides, if I hadn't put out the fire in time and really burned, when the firefight came, the daylily would be cold, and the entire warehouse would have burned! If I didn't do it properly, the surrounding warehouse would be affected."

"I just put out the fire and haven't had a rest to take a breath. Don't you come here, Uncle Zhou?" Wang Zhilong then said again.

"This is very hot, you'll put out the fire alone?" Looking at the remaining burning marks, the middle-aged man, Manager Zhou, couldn't help but turn to Wang Zhilong with a little surprise and asked.

Wang Zhilong pointed at himself without any objection and said, "Uncle Zhou, look at my body. I risked my life to put out the fire. When I found that the fire broke out, I was stunned. I had only one thought in my mind, that is, to put out the fire quickly. I was trying to make it back and forth, almost exhausted! Uncle Zhou, the responsibility this time is really not with me! How could I have thought that the warehouse would catch a fire!"

"Yeah... I don't blame you, I don't blame you. Fortunately, you put out the fire in time, otherwise I wouldn't be able to explain to the boss. OK, hurry up and wash and change clothes, and I'll have someone come over to deal with this. I will tell the boss the truth about this matter," Manager Zhou nodded and said.

Seeing Manager Zhou's back as he hurriedly left, Wang Zhilong, who was breathing a sigh of relief, could not help but shake his head and smile. Unexpectedly, he also learned to talk lies with his eyes open. But there is no way, this world is so realistic. You are too real, and you have to turn around and leave. But in other words, not only is there no mistake, but you still have the merits.

In the afternoon, Manager Zhou brought someone to clean up the mess. When he got off work in the evening, he came again and handed an envelope to Wang Zhilong, saying that it was a bonus of 2,000 yuan from the boss to Wang Zhilong, and then gave Wang Zhilong two days off.

The bonus of 2,000 yuan was almost worth Wang Zhilong's monthly salary. Wang Zhilong, who accepted it without hesitation, was happy to rest for two days.

Wang Zhilong works in the suburbs of the industrial park, but his home is in the countryside, dozens of kilometers away from the city. He needs to take the bus to the bus station, take the bus to his hometown, and then transfer to the urban and rural bus.

When Wang Zhilong returned home, it was almost dark, but there was no one at home. Wang Zhilong knew that his parents must have gone to work and had not come back yet! His family was poor before, and his father got married in his twenties, which was considered late at that time. It took several years after the marriage that his mother gave birth to him, so now his father is in his fifties and his mother is nearly fifty years old. It still has to work so hard, and Wang Zhilong feels very uncomfortable.

"If my parents didn't have my son, and I didn't have to support my sister and I to school, maybe they would have lived much easier, right?" Wang Zhilong had this idea more than once.

Wang Zhilong, who was squatting at the door of his house, took out a cigarette and was about to light it. He touched his pocket lighter and seemed to have landed in the warehouse. He had to stuff the cigarette back.

At this moment, the dazzling lights lit up, and a somewhat worn electric tricycle drove over. The lights reflected the lights and saw the father covered in dust and the mother also covered in dust.

"Zhilong, why are you back? How long have you been waiting? Didn't you bring the key?" The tricycle stopped and the mother said as she got out of the car.

"Forgot to bring it!" Wang Zhilong said as he met him, but saw his father frowning and said angrily: "You can forget to bring the key as such a big person?"

"Okay, okay, you haven't forgotten to bring the key?" He looked at his father's mother in anger, and quickly took out the key and went to open the door.

The father frowned and looked at Wang Zhilong and asked, "Today is not the time to rest, why are you back?"

"Uncle Zhou gave me two days off, so I came back," Wang Zhilong explained quickly.

"Why did you suddenly have a vacation? Didn't you say that the warehouse is very busy? You have to eat and live in the warehouse..." The father asked in confusion: "Did you do something wrong? Your Uncle Zhou quarrel? I tell you, I gave up this old face and begged you to give you this job. Do it well for me, don't be fooled! Don't think you are a college student, and let you manage the warehouse and make you wronged. As long as you are willing to work hard, why can't you earn a bowl of rice? Only with a serious job can you talk about your wife."

"Dad, I understand! Don't worry, I will listen to Uncle Zhou and do it well," Wang Zhilong, who nodded quickly, looked at his father's hunched back, and couldn't help feeling a little sore in his nose. What parents asked for was really simple, but often the children couldn't even do their simple requests well!

"Okay, I'll say endlessly when I come back. My son is not a child anymore," the mother complained to her father and said to Wang Zhilong: "Zhilong, mom, go and cook dinner! What do you want to eat?"

"Mom, let me do it!" Wang Zhilong, who went to the main hall to put down his bag, entered the kitchen with his mother. But his mother refused to let him do it. In the end, Wang Zhilong had to help his mother wash vegetables and talk to her for a while.
