Along the way, Wang Ze remained silent and observed everything around him silently.

Wangjiatun is located at the southern end of Juye County. Wang Ze once returned to his hometown and stayed there for several months, but the scene before him at this moment was very different from what he remembered.

The bumpy dirt road, the surrounding farmland, and the buildings that are rarely seen outside the county town all make people feel the huge gap between here and the future society.

Wang Ze, who was originally confident that he could easily reach his destination with his knowledge of the road, soon lost his way after leaving the city.

After riding for about an hour, Wang Ze's elder brother suddenly turned his bike into a small path between fields.

After riding forward for several hundred meters, a village came into view.

The place is full of dilapidated adobe houses, but among them stands a brick-built tiled courtyard, which is particularly eye-catching.

Looking at the familiar buildings in front of him, Wang Ze knew that he had finally reached his destination.

Especially the brick house, it seems that it has not experienced much change of the times and is not much different compared to the future.

According to my grandfather, this old house was unfortunately destroyed by a bomb. People from surrounding villages came to help and rebuilt it together.

Decades have passed, and this place still maintains its original appearance in later generations.

The closer he got to his destination, the more nervous Wang Ze became.

"I'm going to see my grandmother soon, so I shouldn't be exposed. After all, the second master was still young when he left home."

He muttered to himself, and his heart beat faster.

Along the way, the villagers greeted the eldest brother and looked at the people behind him curiously.

The villagers did not ask who was behind. After all, after such a long war, under the influence of the eldest brother, many children in the village followed him to fight in the war, and everyone was used to being vigilant and keeping secrets.

If it weren't for this awareness, the village would have been destroyed long ago just because my brother led people to repel the Japanese raids.

The eldest brother remained silent. He just smiled and nodded to everyone, then led Wang Ze and pushed the cart to the gate of the yard.

I saw that the gate of the courtyard was open, as if welcoming their arrival.

As you step into the yard, the scene that comes into view is simple and rustic, without too many complicated things in the yard.

On the right stood an adobe house. Wang Ze knew very well that this was a place where the wounded were accommodated during the war.

Driven by curiosity, he couldn't help but step into the yard and took a quick glance at the adobe house, but saw no one living in it.

Wang Jixin saw everything Wang Ze did. Seeing him looking at the adobe house, he quickly said,

"My mother doesn't live here. This room is just a place to store sundries."

After saying that, without waiting for Wang Ze's response, he walked straight towards the brick house in front.

Before reaching the door, I saw an old woman in simple clothes slowly walking out.

Wang Ze stared at the old woman, secretly guessing that this person should be his great-grandfather's biological mother, and also the mother of the person he needed to pretend to be.

The old woman looked at Wang Jixin and said nothing more, but warmly invited them to come in and take a seat.

When the old woman slowly brought out two bowls of water, she looked at Wang Ze tenderly and said softly:

"Young man, come and have a drink of water." Then he gently placed the water on the table and turned to leave.

At this time, Wang Jixin stood up and called out to the old woman.

"Mom, please don't leave. Sit down and take a rest first. This person is not a stranger!"

When Wang's mother heard her son say this, she looked at Wang Ze in confusion. She always felt that this young man seemed familiar, but she really couldn't remember where she had seen him.

So she turned around, slowly sat on the stool next to her, and asked curiously

"Who is this young man? Why don't I have any impression of him?"

Wang Jixin glanced at his mother, took a deep breath, and answered firmly:

"Mom, he is actually our long-lost brother! The brother who got lost with dad!"

After hearing this, Queen Mother was stunned. She stared at Wang Ze with tears gradually forming in her eyes.

After a long while, she came back to her senses and asked with a slightly trembling voice:

"Really? Then your dad...is he back too?"

When Wang Jixin heard his mother ask this, he felt sad. He gritted his teeth and decided to tell his mother the truth about what Wang Ze had experienced over the years.

The Queen Mother listened quietly, tears rolling down her cheeks like beads from a broken string.

She stared at Wang Ze in front of her, feeling distressed.

Finally, she couldn't help but stood up and walked towards Wang Ze step by step. She wanted to reach out and touch him but was afraid of scaring him, so her hand stopped in mid-air.

Seeing this, Wang Ze hurriedly stood up, tightly grasped Wang Mu's hands, and shouted excitedly:

"Mom, I'm back!" The voice revealed his deep longing for his mother.

The Queen Mother's eyes sparkled with tears. She gently patted the back of Wang Ze's hand and said in a trembling voice:

"Oh, child, you have suffered so much these years. It's all your fault. I didn't stop your father and let him take you everywhere and suffer. He was always stubborn and insisted that a real man should go out more and go through more hardships. Who knew it would happen?"

Wang Ze quickly comforted her, "Mom, don't say that. I'm fine, right? In fact, I didn't suffer much outside."

After hearing what Wang Ze said, the Queen Mother calmed down a little. She held Wang Ze's hand tightly, feeling relieved.

Although her husband had passed away, she had been mentally prepared.

Now that her youngest son has returned safely, the Queen Mother feels extremely grateful for God's favor.

Wang Jixin saw that his mother seemed to be in a better mood, so he said softly

"Mom, please chat with my brother for a while. I'll go to the kitchen to make something to eat."

After saying that, he turned and walked towards the door, going straight to the stove outside the house.

After a while, Wang Jixin finished cooking and came into the house.

As soon as he entered the room, he saw the Queen Mother sitting beside the bed, holding her brother's jade carving in her hand, looking at it carefully, her eyes full of love and attachment.

The jade carving seemed to carry the endless emotions between mother and son, becoming the bond that connected their hearts.

"Okay, mom, brother, come over and eat first!"

As Wang Shao spoke, he gently placed a few steaming buns and a plate of yellow stir-fried vegetables on the table.

Then he turned and walked to the cupboard, skillfully taking out a small plate of pickles.

Wang Ze widened his eyes and stared at the food in front of him, feeling frightened.

This...how can anyone eat this?

The steamed buns are yellow in color, and you can even see some grains on them.

The vegetables don't seem to have much oil or water, just like boiled vegetables.

Just looking at these things, my appetite has disappeared without a trace.

It's over, it's over. I thought the most unbearable thing after returning home would be the shabby house or the simple toilet.

But I never expected that the most difficult thing would be the meals I had to prepare every day!

Thinking of this, Wang Ze couldn't help feeling depressed.

He sighed helplessly, thinking: Do I really have to keep eating like this? How can I live like this?
