Old Mrs. Ning felt groggy and not very clear-headed.

The first thing I saw was the light above my head. It was so dazzling that I couldn’t see anything else. There was only white light in my eyes.

She closed her eyes, and when she opened them again…she didn’t look up, but looked straight ahead.

The people in the ward had their backs to Old Mrs. Ning and didn't see her wake up.

The dignified man stared at the person on the bed.

He couldn't help but walk forward, walked to the bed, and looked at her.

A familiar image popped up in his mind, and his usually calm eyes turned red.

"mom."

Before he could come to his senses, he shouted this.

Guard: “?”

Sun Guoshou: Remember? ! !

The old man's eyes were bright as he looked up at the back of Chief Ning's head, wishing he could dig it open to see what kind of intense movement was happening inside.

A major breakthrough in medicine.

He tried to move forward but was held back by a palm as big as a palm fan.

"Doctor Sun, don't spoil the fun." The guard lowered his voice.

He chuckled and said with a smug tone, "My mother always says I'm stupid, and I suddenly feel that... smart people can also be stupid sometimes."

Sun Guoshou really wanted to give him a big slap.

Silly boy, I asked you to get back 10%, right?!

…

Old Mrs. Ning was stunned.

He stared at the tall man in front of him and didn't react for a long time.

After coming to her senses, she raised her hand and patted his arm.

Seeing her son, the old lady was both happy and sad.

What makes me happy is that I can see my son who died many years ago; what worries me is that humans and ghosts have different paths.

"Why are you here?"

Old Mrs. Ning stared at her son, her eyes shining, as if she wanted to take one more look, but she kept pushing him with her hands.

"Go away! Don't come to pick me up! I won't leave! Maodan'er is still young, I can't leave yet..."

She fell down and had no strength left. The pushing noise she made was not even as loud as a child, but it made Chief Ning's nose sore.

"Mom, my son is back." The man who had experienced the flames of war had a very hoarse voice. The memories in his mind were in disarray, and he was still sorting and archiving them quickly.

But he was sure...it was his old mother.

Old Mrs. Ning was very happy to see her son.

"You have no conscience. You didn't even send me a dream after all these years." She scolded with a smile.

"Did you see your father?" Old Lady Ning babbled, "Did the old man find a new wife?"

Just after asking, he said, "Forget it, forget it, there's nothing to find."

Commander Ning: "..."

"Have you seen your wife?" Old Mrs. Ning asked again.

She was very pleased with her daughter-in-law and told her son, "Your daughter-in-law has had a hard life and didn't enjoy many days of happiness. She always misses you. If you see her... treat her well."

After caring about the person she cares about, her eyes revealed worry. "Son, do you need money? If you do, just tell me and I'll quietly burn some paper for you."

From beginning to end, he didn't treat the person in front of him as a living person at all.

Old Mrs. Ning looked at Chief Ning and saw that he was much more mature and serious than she remembered. There was a scar on his face, and he looked ferocious.

Her smile deepened.

"I used to wonder what my son had become after not seeing him for a few years. Now that I see him, he looks stronger. Strong is good, because he won't be bullied by other ghosts." Old Mrs. Ning nodded with satisfaction and urged, "Mom is satisfied to see you, you should leave now..."

Commander Ning: "..."

He held his mother's hand.

"Mom, I'm not dead. I'm back."

The touch on her hand felt incredibly real, but Old Lady Ning still didn't feel it was real. Her son had been sacrificed for several years.

"Mom knows you care about it." She patted the back of the hand and gently stroked the calluses on it.

"Humans and ghosts have different paths. We are no longer from the same world. Don't stay any longer. Go back to where you belong. Don't worry about me and Maodaner. We are doing well. I will definitely see to Maodaner getting married and having children. Don't worry..."

Commander Ning: How can he convince his mother that he is not a ghost, but a human?

He looked at the other people in the ward.

In a daze, the old couple of the Gu family finally came to their senses.

"You, you are really Mingde?" Father Gu's face was full of shock.

A look of joy appeared on his face. He took small steps forward and wanted to pat his shoulder, but found it too tiring, so he patted his arm instead.

"I said you looked familiar, you're not dead!!"

"Mingde, since you are not dead, why haven't you come back for so many years?"

Chief Ning learned from his mother's words that—

My father passed away, my wife is gone, and only my mother and young son are left at home... I have a hard time getting through life, and my heart is filled with pain.

"I……"

The guard couldn't help but interrupt, "The commander was on a secret mission a few years ago and just returned. He suffered a serious head injury and has forgotten his name or any relatives he has. He's still receiving treatment."

After saying this, he grabbed Sun Guoshou's arm and walked forward, exposing him in front of the Gu family.

"This is the doctor who treated the leader, Dr. Sun. If you don't believe me, just ask him. He knows everything."

Sun Guoshou: "..."

The skilled old doctor wanted to give the silly boy two injections to make him shut up.

Giving the guard a disdainful look, Sun Guo touched his short beard and nodded.

"That's right." He looked at Chief Ning and explained for this man.

"He had a blood clot in his head, and it caused him to lose his memory. The blood clot just dissipated a few days ago, but he still can't remember anything. Only after seeing you... did he..."

Having said that, Sun Guoshou looked at Chief Ning.

"Do you remember?"

Chief Ning nodded.

"Yeah," he said, "...My name is Ning Mingde."

He was most concerned about his mother's illness and immediately asked, "Uncle Gu, what happened to my mother?"

Ning Mingde was born when Mrs. Ning was in her early thirties. He married late and had children late, and he is almost 40 years old this year. Mrs. Ning and the old couple of the Gu family are of the same generation, so it is right for him to call them uncle and aunt.

Father Gu explained the general situation.

The doctor said a lot of unfamiliar words. He was confused and spoke haltingly, while Gu's mother supplemented his words.

The guard pointed at Sun Guoshou and silently reminded him, "Isn't there a doctor here?"

Hearing this, the old couple of the Gu family shut up.

If they have doctors, why do they need to memorize texts?

Sun Guoshou didn't waste any words. He took a few steps forward and said to Old Lady Ning, "Sister, please extend your hand."

This "big sister" really makes me feel uncomfortable!

Old Mrs. Ning complained inwardly and stretched out her hand.

Because his son came to see him.

There was a hint of real strength in the wrist, and Old Mrs. Ning suddenly realized it.

This dream is quite real.

"Son, Mom's fine. Why did you even bring a doctor from the underworld? Is this... not against the rules?"

Commander Ning pulled the corners of his lips, feeling bitter in his mouth.

Helplessly, he turned to look at Mother Gu.

Look for help.

After not seeing each other for many years, he was so clumsy that he didn't know what to say, let alone how to make his mother believe that he was alive and that he had come back alive!

Gu's mother saw what Mingde was thinking and gave him a look as if he were her aunt.

He sat down beside the bed, grabbed Old Mrs. Ning's hand and twisted it gently.

"Big sister, does it hurt?" she asked.

Old Lady Ning looked at this and then that, a little confused, and said honestly: "... a little bit."

"That's right, it hurts!" Mother Gu said with a smile, "If it hurts, it means it's real. You're not dreaming. Mingde is really back. Your son, Ning Mingde, didn't sacrifice himself. He's back safe and sound!"

She was really happy for her elder sister.

Look, look, she said that Sister Ning will have good fortune in the future.

Old Mrs. Ning was skeptical.

I always feel that she fell and hit her head, and she has some rare disease.

Her son died many years ago, and the notice is still in the photo album.

Mingde is back...

How could that be?

Seeing that the eldest sister was still dazed, Mother Gu pulled the even more confused Maodan over and said, "Maodan, come and tell your grandma, did you see your dad?"

Maodan is sensible and smart, so of course he knows what the adults were talking about just now.

——That very tall man in military uniform is his father.

His father didn't die.

He is alive.

Just, forget about them.

When Maodan thought of his mother, his eyebrows drooped and a layer of mist filled his bright black eyes.

Mother said she was going to look for Dad, but Dad was still alive. Where could she go to find him?

He misses his mother.

Just as I was daydreaming, Aunt Gu suddenly pulled me to the bedside.

"Mao'er?" Mother Gu pinched his little hand.

The man who came back from the dead scared both the grandfather and grandson.

Not surprising.

Anyone would be scared.

Maodaner came back to his senses. He didn't look at his father, who seemed a little strange to him. He looked at Old Lady Ning, pursed his lips slightly, and asked, "Grandma, is this my dad?"

After seeing her grandson, Old Lady Ning finally realized that everything before her was real and not a dream.

Her son is back.

A gleam appeared in his old eyes, brighter than ever before.

"Mingde? My son?"

Ning Mingde's lips curled slightly, "It's me."

After answering, call out "Mom".

Old Mrs. Ning was stunned for a moment, then burst into tears and struggled to get up, "Son, why did you come back just now?"

She patted Ning Mingde's shoulder.

"Your father didn't wait for you, so you couldn't go without peace of mind."

"Your wife is crying her eyes out for you! You're so cruel! You couldn't even send a letter when you couldn't come back? At least let us know you're alive."

Old Mrs. Ning felt sad for the old man and also for her poor daughter-in-law.

Ning Mingde's eyes were slightly red. He did not avoid his mother's teachings, nor did he make excuses for himself.

It was indeed his fault. He didn't take good care of the family.

"Mom, I'm sorry."

Old Lady Ning couldn't bear to hear this and choked up, "Don't say that. Your father and I agreed to let you join the army. We were prepared not to see you for the last time. It's good that you're back, it's good that you're alive. Be good to Maodan'er from now on. It's hard for a child without a father or a mother."

This kind of suffering is not the suffering of lack of food and clothing—

It was the pain of other children having parents calling them to eat, but he didn't; it was the pain of other children being taken by their fathers to the mountains to hunt, swim, and fish, while he could only watch from afar; it was the pain of other children having small school bags and scarves made by their mothers, while he could only look at his mother's portrait...

The suffering of having no parents is a suffering that comes from comparison.

The pain is in my heart!

Ning Mingde looked at the thin little boy, his eyes slightly sore, "I know."

"Maodan'er is my son, I will definitely treat him well."

Be a good father and a good mother.

Maodaner didn't know what his father was thinking. When he noticed someone's gaze on him, he lowered his eyes, and his long, curly eyelashes trembled slightly.

Yubao, Hengbao, I have a daddy!

No matter how calm he appeared on the surface, Maodan was happy in his heart, but he was precocious and seemed overly calm, as if nothing had happened.

When people are nervous, they will want to do something.

Maodan was like this. He was busy pouring water, but found that the kettle was empty. He took the kettle to fetch water, "...I'll go fetch water."

His eyes inadvertently glanced at Chief Ning.

In the eyes of Chief Ning, who is happy to be a father, his son is very well-behaved and good-looking. His skin is like his mother, and his eyebrows and eyes are like his. He is a handsome young man.

The guard followed Maodaner consciously.

This is his leader's only son, he has to protect him well.

Old Lady Ning said, "Maodan likes you, he's just embarrassed. Once you spend more time together, he'll get close to you. Maodan is the softest child."

"He adores you."

Chief Ning's eyes lit up.

He also learned from Sun Guoshou that his mother's illness was not serious and would get better if she took good care of herself, so he felt relieved.

Old Mrs. Ning didn't want to be hospitalized and insisted on going home.

Her son hadn't been home for many years, so she wanted to bring him home early and let him burn some incense for the old man.

Commander Ning consulted Sun Guoshou's opinion and only nodded in agreement after confirming that his mother could return home to recuperate.

"It's too late today. I'll take you home tomorrow morning."

Old Mrs. Ning nodded reluctantly.

She was very sleepy, but she couldn't bear to sleep, so she forced herself to talk to her son, saying whatever came to her mind.

That night, the old couple of the Gu family and others were placed in a guesthouse.

They were having a blast.

Gu Yucheng exclaimed in amazement, "This is the guesthouse where the leader lives. It's really grand. Today is really worth it!"

Just as he was about to say that, he was slapped on the back of his head.

Mother Gu gave him a sidelong glance. "What? You feel like you're at a disadvantage because you're not staying at the guesthouse? We're all from the same hometown, so isn't it normal for us to help each other? Why are you being so fussy? That's what I taught you."

Gu Yucheng hissed twice, "I'm just telling you."

Father Gu was happy and went into their room with Mother Gu.

After entering the house, the old couple looked around. The staff introduced them to the room, and they were no longer as cramped as when they first came in.

"That's great." Mother Gu sat on the bed, feeling that it was soft and had springs, which was very rare. "Mingde has made great progress. Sister Ning and Maodan are so lucky."

"Do you think they will be picked up?"

Father Gu said, "That's for sure."

"I don't know which unit Mingde is in..." Gu's mother muttered.

"Don't ask, these are confidential."

"You don't have to tell me." Mother Gu glared at her. "I'm very conscious."

Father Gu sighed, "Look at you, I just gave you a warning, but you're already so angry. My wife is definitely very aware."

Mother Gu couldn't control the smile on her face. "Go away, I'll go wash up."

She let out a burst of happy laughter. "I never thought I could stay in a guesthouse. I heard you can take a shower right there, which is more convenient than a big bathhouse. I'll go try it, and you can try it too later."

The words fell into the bathroom.

Father Gu thought to himself, this is for sure, since we are here...

The next day.

A jeep from the Harvest Brigade arrived.

The whole village was in an uproar.

Adults and children watched from afar.

The car door opened.

Yubao and Hengbao got out of the car.

Seeing them, Tiechui rushed over, his voice filled with joy, "Yubao, Hengbao, you're back!!"

Yuanbao immediately said, "You guys are riding in a big car. How does it feel to ride in a big car?"

As he spoke, he glanced towards the car and saw Maodan'er there. His eyes widened immediately, "Maodan'er?! You're here too. Is your milk ready?"

He took out the egg he was reluctant to eat and stuffed it into Maodan'er's hand. "Maodan'er, my mother said that eating eggs can nourish the body. Give the egg to your grandmother and she will be well soon."

Chief Ning got out of the car and looked at the children. "Where are you from?"

The children talked a lot and revealed their family backgrounds.

Finally, Tie Niu asked, "Uncle, who are you?"

Sun Guoshou smiled and shook his head, "Children meet each other without knowing each other, and ask the guest where he comes from with a smile..."
