A delicate and gentle educated youth came to the village, and the aloof and cold soldier king droppe

That obedient and sensible child has grown up.

Just as he said when he was a child, he became a soldier, a soldier who protects his country.

In that instant, Widow Wu felt that all the suffering she had endured before had been worthwhile.

It was as if the sky cleared up when I saw Baozi enlisting in the army.

After consulting with Widow Wu, Su Niannian assigned her to Lü Hongliang.

They're going to do the braised meat business over there.

During the Spring Festival of 1982, Gu's father took his family back to their hometown, Kaoshan Village.

Prior to this, Zhao Tian had already returned to Gu Zhendong's hometown the year after giving birth.

Mr. Gu felt that Zhao Tian's parents must also miss their daughter who had married far away. Mr. Gu also missed his hometown, so he led his family back for a trip during the Spring Festival that year.

Upon hearing that Su Niannian was going back to Kaoshan Village for the New Year, Grandpa Bai also went with her.

The New Year celebrations in Kaoshan Village are even more lively than in Beijing.

Because the household responsibility system mobilized the enthusiasm of the villagers, and with the effective management of village chief Zhou Daniu and Jiang Aiguo, Kaoshan Village has become a well-known wealthy village.

The Gu family had barely returned to the village when their friends, having heard the news, couldn't wait to go see them.

Su Niannian and her group also brought back many gifts from Beijing.

Song Zhaodi and Li Ergou also returned home with their newborn son and eldest daughter.

Because Baozi was stationed with the troops, Widow Wu also stayed in Beijing for the New Year.

Surprisingly, Lü Hongliang fell for this hardworking, diligent, and down-to-earth woman.

A frantic attempt to curry favor.

At first, Widow Wu was hesitant to accept Lü Hongliang, because in her eyes, he was a very wealthy and capable man.

She was just a widow from the countryside, with no skills and a child to raise.

Moreover, he is three years older than Lü Hongliang.

However, encouraged by Su Niannian, the two eventually fell in love and got together.

Upon hearing the news, Baozi did not object to her mother's remarriage; on the contrary, she was very supportive.

My own mother sacrificed so much to raise me.

Baozi was very happy that his mother had found new happiness.

As for Lü Hongliang, knowing the hardships Wu the widow had endured, he felt very sorry for her.

This was something Su Niannian was happy to see, after all, she knew how greedy Lu Hongliang's original wife was.

It's really a good thing that Lü Hongliang and Widow Wu were able to get together.

Lu Hongliang did not mistreat Widow Wu because she was a divorced woman with a child.

The two made a promise to stay together until they grow old.

They also got their marriage certificate.

On the day the two got their marriage certificate, Su Niannian noticed that Widow Wu still had a shy expression on her face.

I felt that even though life had been tough in the past, a bright future was still worth looking forward to.

When Zhao Tian and Gu Zhendong returned to Zhao Tian's parents' home, Zhao Tian's parents were overjoyed.

She also shed tears when she saw Zhao Tian.

"Mother, why are you crying?"

"Dad is crying too." Zhao Tian hugged her parents.

“Your mother cried, but your father didn’t!” Zhao Tian’s father pretended to push his daughter.

But I didn't use any force.

Zhao Tian hugged her parents and tears streamed down her face.

Perhaps only when you become a parent do you realize how much parents care about their children.

My parents are worried about my marriage to someone so far away.

Gu Tianyang and Gu Tianliang held Gu Zhendong's hands and stood aside.

The Zhao family elders prepared New Year's red envelopes for both children.

There was no favoritism.

After all, when Zhao Tian returned to the village last time, she said that she regarded Gu Tianyang as her own child.

Although Yangyang has not yet called Zhao Tian "Mom," Zhao Tian has always treated Yangyang as her own son.

Since Gu Zhendong had also learned to drive, he planned to take the Zhao family to the county town to buy them some things they liked.

Zhao Tian's parents said that they had already received many gifts, and there was absolutely no need to go to the county town to buy anything else.

But Zhao Tian still wanted to take them for a drive around the county town.

The Zhao family elders couldn't persuade their child otherwise, so they agreed.

Gu Zhendong was driving a military jeep that Gu Nan had borrowed from Chief Lu; it was a seven-seater vehicle.

Besides Zhao Tian's parents, Gu Zhendong, Zhao Tian, ​​there are two other children and Zhao Tian's younger brother.

A group of seven people went to the county town.

I don't know if it was fate or just a coincidence.

I unexpectedly ran into Zhao Fengxia in the county town.

After several years apart, Zhao Fengxia had become very thin and aged.

Beneath the tattered cotton-padded coat was a frail body.

When Zhao Fengxia saw Gu Zhendong again, she almost didn't recognize him.

"Your leg?" Zhao Fengxia was shocked. How could Gu Zhendong, a cripple, walk?

He was able to recover to a normal state.

Moreover, she had two children with her.

Is the bigger one... my Yangyang?

Yangyang also saw the woman in front of him.

Six years have passed since I left my biological mother, Zhao Fengxia.

Six years is enough time for a two- or three-year-old child to forget what their mother looks like.

However, when we met again, I could still vaguely remember what my mother looked like.

Seeing that Gu Zhendong ignored her, Zhao Fengxia then noticed Yangyang, who was eight or nine years old.

I went up to Yangyang and wanted to pull him over for a hug.

However, Yangyang dodged it.

Yangyang tightened his grip on Zhao Tian's hand and hid behind her.

"You brat, I'm your own mother! Are you trying to avoid me?" Zhao Fengxia roared at Yangyang.

"You'll scare the child!" Zhao Tian immediately exclaimed.

Gu Zhendong also stood protectively in front of the mother and son.

At that moment, Gu Tianliang also grabbed Gu Tianyang's hand.

“I’m his biological mother! Who do you think you are?” Zhao Fengxia said, hands on her hips and craning her neck.

“A real mother wouldn’t bully her child like that,” Gu Zhendong said at this moment.

If you really care about your child, why would you bully a two- or three-year-old?

Since you were so resolute back then, don't blame this day for what has happened.

Zhao Fengxia did not lose her momentum upon hearing Gu Zhendong's words.

Instead, her eyes darted around, and when she saw her own son avoiding her and refusing to acknowledge her, Zhao Fengxia felt as if her nerves had snapped.

Zhao Fengxia said something that Gu Zhendong never expected.

That same sentence seemed to have ripped out Gu Tianyang's soul.

This caused Gu Tianyang to collapse to the ground.

"Yangyang isn't your son! You've raised this cheap son of mine for so long for nothing!" Zhao Fengxia's words were met with a mocking smile.

Gu Zhendong stood there, his heart unable to calm down for a long time.

"Slap!" A crisp slapping sound rang out.

Zhao Fengxia took a solid slap from Zhao Tian.

Zhao Tian's parents also helped Yangyang, who had collapsed on the ground, to his feet.
