She thought she was hallucinating because she was too sad.
After all, the neighbors in the compound said that Zhou Zhigao would definitely never come back. She had been waiting for her for three years. There were no phone calls, no letters, and really no news at all!
She slept with his photo in her arms every day, until that night, Liang Yunsheng found the photo she put next to the pillow, and he quietly stole it, tore it into pieces and threw it away...
She raised her teary eyes and stared at him falling from the sky without blinking. She secretly raised her arm and pinched her own arm hard, wiping her eyes randomly.
It hurts, it hurts so much, my arms hurt, and my heart hurts even more.
The tall and handsome man opposite with a tired look on his face was exactly the man she had been thinking about day and night!
He was as graceful as ever, with nobility between his brows and eyes. He was 1.9 meters tall and straight and strong. Although his face was thin and tired, he still looked as gentle as jade.
"Zhigao..."
She finally called out his name in a hoarse voice and subconsciously rushed towards him.
"elder brother……"
A clear shout suddenly sounded, and Zhou Zhi ran over like an arrow from a string, jumped directly on Zhou Zhigao's body, put his arms around Zhou Zhigao's neck and cried out.
"Brother, brother, you are back... You are back... Where have you been in the past three years? My parents are worried about you. I miss you so much. I have never dreamed of you coming back. It’s…brother…”
Zhou Zhi cried so heartbreakingly, shouting incoherently, with tears and snot flowing from her nose that she just rubbed randomly on Zhou Zhigao's shoulder.
"Happy wedding..."
Zhou Zhigao nodded politely to Jiang Xiaohan, carried his luggage in one hand and his sister in the other and walked towards the door of his house.
Stinky Yaya, she’s a grown-up girl, and she’s still as clingy to him as she was when she was little.
The onlookers burst into cheers, and the neighbors gathered around Zhou Zhigao like a tide, clapping and shouting his name loudly.
He has been someone else's child since he was a child. He has good looks, good grades, and a good personality. There is simply nothing to find fault with!
It was rumored in the compound that he had died long ago. Everyone never dared to mention him in front of Tian Xinping, but the neighbors were all looking forward to his return!
He is really back!
Zhou Zhigao politely nodded to the neighbors who crowded around him and greeted them one by one. His gentle and handsome appearance remained unchanged from before.
"Hiss..."
He suddenly took a breath of cold air, and the arm holding his sister trembled. Zhou Zhi also noticed that something was wrong, and hurriedly jumped off his brother.
"Second brother, second brother, what's wrong with you? Is your arm injured? Let's go home quickly..."
Zhou Zhi was worried to death, grabbed Zhou Zhigao's luggage, held his hand and walked towards home.
With a bang, the door of the Zhou family opened again. Zhou Guangyi supported Tian Xinping, who was wearing pajamas, and stood at the door. The old couple had already burst into tears.
Zhigao is back, their children are back, really back!
"Mom, Dad, I'm back..."
Zhou Zhigao walked quickly towards the gate. Zhou Zhiyuan held back his tears and whispered to his parents. He stretched out his hands and held their hands tightly.
After three years of separation, my parents have obviously aged a lot, especially my mother, who has mottled temples and a haggard look on her face. What’s even more frightening is that her head is still wrapped in a bandage. Is her mother injured?
"Wow... the second brother is back, mom and dad, the second brother is back..."
Before he had time to ask, Zhou Zhi, who looked like a hedgehog with disheveled hair, rushed over and rushed into his second brother's arms just like before, grinning widely and crying non-stop.
Second brother?
Zhou Zhigao was extremely confused. Why was he suddenly demoted to second brother after being away for three years?
There used to be a Liang Mingyuan in the family, but Zhou Zhi didn't even call him big brother. Could it be that Liang Mingyuan helped him fulfill his filial piety in front of his parents after he had been out for three years, so Zhou Zhi changed his name to him?
"Where is Liang Mingyuan?"
he asked.
"Go home, go home, let's talk about it when we go home..."
Zhou Guangyi waved his hands at the group of people gathered at the door, pulled Zhou Zhi off Zhou Zhigao, and told her to go home and change clothes and take a shower.
Only then did Zhou Guangyi, his wife, and Zhou Zhigao notice that Zhou Zhi was injured, with bruises around his eyes, bruises on his arms, and a limp when he walked.
It seemed that in the battle of beating Liang Yunsheng hard, he also received several blows on his body.
After all, Liang Yunsheng is a man, tall and has some strength.
But it made several people feel distressed. Zhou Guangyi took the luggage from his son and urged Zhou Zhi to go home.
"You, you, why don't you know it hurts? Why are you fighting him? He is so virtuous. What a pity Xiaohan, why did you marry such a beast..."
As soon as Tian Xinping finished speaking, she hurriedly closed her mouth.
She looked up at her lost and found son standing aside, and couldn't imagine how painful he must be.
"Mom, go home..."
Several enthusiastic neighbors helped close the door and told Zhou Guangyi to go home and have a good rest and come back to play at home tomorrow and the day after tomorrow.
Everyone understands that Zhou Guangyi's family is reunited after a long absence, and so many things have happened at home. They have too many things to tell their children, so don't disturb them.
Several neighbors stood at the gate and discussed. It was not easy for Zhigao to escape death. He would get a red envelope from the Zhou family tomorrow and have a meal with the Zhou family to celebrate this matter...
The Zhou family of four returned to the house. Zhou Guangyi immediately called his father Zhou Youtian to report the good news. The old man immediately said happily that he would come back to visit his eldest grandson soon...
Zhou Zhi ran to the bathroom to take a shower, while Zhou Guangyi and his wife made tea and snacks for their son. They sat next to their son, one on the left and the other on the right, looking at him carefully.
Zhou Zhigao told his parents about his situation in the past two years. He only said that he had infiltrated the local government and helped the organization intercept a large amount of information. He did not mention the difficulties he encountered, nor did he mention that his identity was exposed and his body was exposed. He was seriously injured, had a high fever, fainted, and fell off a cliff to escape death.
Zhou Guangyi and his wife also told their son some things that happened at home.
Only then did Zhou Zhigao realize that so many things had happened while he was away from home.
He never expected that Liang Mingyuan would kill one of his mother's wolves!
What's more, he didn't expect that he actually had an eldest brother who was living abroad. Fortunately, the eldest brother had been missing for so many years, but he was still a soldier with excellent military qualities, and his wife was a doctor with superb medical skills. This was his mother's fate. Saved by a sister-in-law I've never met!
"My dear grandson, you really want grandpa to death..."
The door opened, and a loud voice came from the door. Zhou Zhigao hurriedly stood up and went to the door to greet him.
His legs suddenly tilted and his body flashed...
