Chapter 393 He's Back
Xiao Zhou rummaged through drawers and found family photos. He scattered them all over the floor and finally took a family photo of the four of them to find Jiang Zhizhi.
Jiang Zhizhi was bewildered by Xiao Zhouji's actions. When she saw the photo in his little hand and Xiao Zhouji clearly calling out "Dad," she almost couldn't hold back her tears.
He reached out and patted Xiao Zhouji's head, nodding with a smile: "Yes, it's Dad."
Shang Shang heard the noise and ran over, lying on Jiang Zhizhi's other leg. She leaned over to look at the photo in Xiao Zhouji's hand, her little expression very serious: "This is my dad, he's mine."
Little Zhou was a little angry. He took the photo and glared at Shang Shang, saying, "Dad... Dad..."
Shang Shang tilted her head, stared with her big, bright black eyes, and seemed to think very seriously for a while before nodding: "It's Dad."
She pointed to her younger brother, then to herself: "Dad...brother's dad, sister's dad..."
Little Zhou understood that his sister meant this was their shared father, and happily hugged Shangshang, giggling.
Fang Hua smiled and patted Shang Shang's little head: "Shang Shang, are you trying to say that this is our dad?"
Shang Shang nodded immediately, repeating like a little parrot, "This is our dad, our dad..."
As Jiang Zhizhi watched her two children taking photos and giggling as they called out "Dad," tears welled up in her eyes.
Fang Hua's eyes also reddened, but the two children didn't understand anything. As if they had discovered something fun, they held up the photo and called out "Dad" to each of them.
Shang Shang leaned over and kissed the photo, and Xiao Zhouji quickly followed suit.
The two kissed and laughed, then hugged each other tightly.
Jiang Zhizhi finally couldn't hold back her tears and quickly reached out to wipe them away.
Upon seeing this, Fang Hua wiped away her tears and comforted Jiang Zhizhi, saying, "Don't underestimate these two children; they know what's going on. They miss their father."
Jiang Zhizhi's tears, which she had just wiped away, fell again. If it weren't for her two children, she would have gone to find Zhou Xiye after learning about his accident, to see what had happened.
Because of her two children, she couldn't go, so she could only wake up in the middle of the night and stay awake until dawn.
I once heard someone say that when people are too sad or upset, they become numb and don't cry or feel too sad.
It takes a long time before I realize it and feel sad and heartbroken.
...
On August 31st, Zhou Chengzhi, who hadn't been home for almost two months, finally returned home.
Covered in dust, he looked thinner and much older, his once gray hair now completely white.
Jiang Zhizhi was also at home, preparing for her two children's first birthday celebration the next day. When she saw Zhou Chengzhi's condition, she was so stiff that she couldn't stand up at all.
He sat motionless on the sofa, staring intently at Zhou Chengzhi.
Fang Hua, holding Shang Shang, was startled when he saw Zhou Chengzhi's appearance. He had a strong premonition and stared at Zhou Chengzhi, afraid to breathe.
When Zhou Chengzhi entered the room, he saw that the once lively family had fallen silent as if on pause.
He opened his mouth, but no sound came out several times.
He closed his eyes one last time, waved his hand, and said in a slightly choked voice, "I brought Nishino back..."
The orderly behind him walked forward carrying a box.
Jiang Zhizhi heard the sound of the rope hanging in her heart snapping. The knife fell, slowly tearing at her heart. The pain was so intense that she couldn't breathe or speak. She could only stare blankly at what the orderly was holding.
She couldn't move or speak, but she knew that Fang Hua put Shang Shang down and went over to hit Zhou Chengzhi, crying and shouting why he hadn't brought his son back properly.
And there was Zhou Chengyu's crying...
The two children were also frightened and cried, rushing to their mother and wailing.
The scene was in complete chaos...
Jiang Zhizhi knew that the child was lying on her knees, crying and asking for a hug from her mother, but she couldn't move her hands and her mind was wandering.
When Jiang Zhizhi woke up, she found herself in a hospital room, bathed in warm yellow light.
She blinked, looking somewhat dazed.
When Shang Shiying saw that she was awake, she quickly came over and took her hand: "Zhizhi, you're awake? Are you hungry? Do you want to eat something? You've been unconscious for two days."
Jiang Zhizhi's brow twitched: "Auntie, what time is it now?"
When he opened his mouth, his voice was rough and incredibly hoarse, as if his throat had been sanded by sandpaper, causing him severe pain.
Shang Shiying felt even more distressed, her eyes reddening: "On the evening of September 2nd, Zhizhi, you really scared us to death."
Jiang Zhizhi responded with an "oh," but she was puzzled as to why she hadn't dreamed during her long period of unconsciousness, and why she hadn't dreamed of Zhou Xiye either.
Shang Shiying held her somewhat thin hand tightly: "Zhizhi, no matter what, you still have two children. For the sake of your two children, you must pull yourself together and never give up."
Jiang Zhizhi nodded without saying anything.
Shang Shiying was on the verge of tears: "These past two days, Shang Shang and Xiao Zhou have been staying at my house. Don't worry, Zhuang Qin and the others are watching over them during the day, so nothing will happen."
Jiang Zhizhi suddenly remembered something and propped herself up to sit up: "Where's my mother-in-law? How is she?"
Shang Shiying patted her hand to comfort her: "Don't worry, your mother-in-law is stronger than we thought. She can't fall down for the sake of the two children. She was discharged from the hospital and went home early this morning."
"Zhizhi, you need to think more positively. Xiao Zhouji and Shangshang can't do without you."
Jiang Zhizhi nodded: "Auntie, don't worry, I'm fine. I know what I should do."
Shang Shiying tenderly stroked Jiang Zhizhi's head and smoothed the stray hairs by her ears: "Your father's idea is to not deal with the aftermath for now, but wait until this matter can be made public. Right now, this matter cannot be made public, for fear of causing international disputes."
"Nishino also made a great contribution, because he prevented a more vicious war from happening and avoided more casualties."
Jiang Zhizhi remained silent; she didn't really want to hear this right now.
After a long silence, she looked up at Shang Shiying and said, "I want to go home. I have nothing to do now, and I want to go home and see the children."
Shang Shiying nodded hurriedly: "Okay, okay, let's go home."
When Jiang Zhizhi and Shang Shiying arrived home, Zhuang Qin and Bian Suxi were looking after the two children. Fang Hua, still somewhat weak, sat to the side watching, and couldn't help but shed tears as she thought about it.
I feel sorry for my son, and I also feel sorry for my two little children.
Only the two little ones were carefree. When they saw Jiang Zhizhi enter, they happily ran towards her. Even Shang Shang, who was usually lazy, started running around.
Shang Shang happily shouted, "Mommy's back! It's Mommy! My mommy...my little brother's mommy..."
She shouted a lot of happy shouts and then jumped into Jiang Zhizhi's arms...
