In Zhangjia Village in the northeast, two new courtyards have risen at the foot of the North Mountain. People come and go on the construction site, and they are all busy and green in an orderly manner. The old courtyard of the Zhang family, not far away, was quiet.

Now except for the master bricklayer and his apprentices, the rest of the people helped to clean up the ground. Yesterday, the master bricklayer was busy until dark, and finally finished it before the temperature dropped. I was so happy that Dad Zhang added a big red envelope after settling the account. In the past two days, as soon as the doors and windows were installed, he was not afraid of freezing on the ground, and slowly burned the kang, and what he finally did for the children was completed.

Early this morning, Zhang's father took his three sons to clean up the new yard. This will be Zhang Lao's second Zhang Guoqiang's carpenter master with everyone to install the gates, doors and windows of the two yards.

Zhang's mother saw that the two courtyards were completed, and she was ready to prepare more nests. In the past two days, many people in the village will come to visit the new courtyard, and maybe there will be some people left to eat. I took my two daughters-in-law to the mill early in the morning and didn't come back to prepare lunch.

Zhou Jiao is home alone, which will be just the right time to feed/milk and change diapers. Suddenly, I felt that my heart was pounding all the time, and my heart rhythm was arranged. Zhou Jiao took a deep breath to relax her mood, but the more depressed she was, the more her heartbeat became uncontrollable. There's always a premonition that something is going to happen, and let her go out and have a look.

Her heartbeat was getting faster and faster, and she was able to place the baby faster. Dragging her feet that were a little weak, Zhou Jiao immediately put on her coat and hat, covered her heart, and went out of the room along the way. I saw that in the yard that I hadn't seen for many days, even the children at home had left, and there was no shadow.

Zhou Jiao dragged her legs and slowly moved to the gate of the courtyard. As soon as she came out and stood on the steps, she subconsciously looked around, and when she looked up, she saw two figures in military uniforms walking in the distance, carrying packages and big bags.

At this moment, she finally knew why her heart was beating uncontrollably. There was always an impulse to move forward, forward. This is her father, her father Zhou Xiaozheng is back. The tears in her eyes could no longer be controlled, and she didn't bother to wipe them, and her eyes were hazy, and she stumbled and sprinted a few steps.

Zhou Jiao suddenly felt that she didn't know how to face her father, stopped there, wiped her tears again, looked at the man who was running towards her quickly, and stumbled over with her feet uncontrollably.

Seeing her dad running with his hands stretched out from afar, she threw herself into his dad's arms, feeling very wronged, her mind was blank, feeling her dad hugging her tightly and protecting her, she howled and cried.

is different from her feelings for her mother, she has a blood concern for her father, a natural sense of familiarity, and believes in him without any guilt. Leaning on her father's arms, she has a little daughter's mentality, she wants to be coquettish to him, she wants to tell him her grievances, she thinks a lot, in her father's arms, she is safe, no longer has to guard against anyone, no longer has to be afraid of injury.

Zhou Jiao cried bitterly, crying incoherently again and again: "Dad, why did you come back?" Dad, why don't you take me away? ”

"Dad, you're finally back, I have a dad, I'm not a wild child that no one wants."

"Dad, why are you only coming back now, Dad, don't want me in the future, Dad, I'm so wronged, Dad, why did you come back, I don't have a dad anymore, no one treats me well, I don't want me anymore..."

The rhythmless pounding heart just now finally returned to normal after leaning on his father's arms. Crying for too long, there was only one thought in her mind, she had a father, and her father finally came back, with joy and sorrow.

Feeling the only father's love in two lifetimes, she is like a child who must sue. I finally understood why those children always liked to complain to their parents.

Because your parents will feel sorry for you and will be angry for you. Her mother couldn't give her a sense of protection. And her father is different, as steady as a mountain, standing firmly behind her, she just stands beside him, and she is very at ease.

is different from Zhang Guoqing's steadfastness, love and family affection are two different feelings, she can feel her father's concern and her father's guilt.

Zhou Xiaozheng was holding her baby daughter who was crying in her arms. Listen to her incoherent and uncontrollable crying over and over again. patted her gently, her heart ached unbearably, and she suddenly lost her voice when the words came to her mouth. He hugged the daughter in front of him tightly, and could only nod and shake his head from time to time, gently wiping away the tears from her face.

remembered the scene when her father-in-law talked about the first time he saw her, who said that the child was calm, cautious, steady, scheming and strategic, that was her resistance in the face of foreign invasion.

Disguise herself and force herself to hold on, because no one to rely on her, no one to stand up for her, no one to solve for her, she must rely on herself step by step, carefully afraid that she is wrong, there will be no one to protect her, firmly guard her bottom line, and rely on the strength of disguise to face everything.

His daughter, his Jiaojiao, is only 17 years old. After enough hard life, at a young age, I learned to observe words and colors, seek perfection, and learn to forbear, so that I can be calm and calm. It's just that she has experienced a lot of things that makes her feel cold, so she can't trust others, and she hides something in her heart.

In other 17-year-old girls, who are like their parents reaching out for money, and asking for this and that, her daughter has learned to quietly look cold, secretly protect herself, and plan her future. Who doesn't want to grow up innocent and carefree. His daughter is at the age of 17 years old, living cautiously, and she has to calculate in place every step, like an orphan who is helpless, and she can't wait to escape from right and wrong, that is, there is no him standing behind her, and it is without him as a father that she will struggle like an orphan for 17 years, living like a weed on the side of the road.

It looked like she was crying, but she wasn't venting. After 17 years of grievances, she has too much bitterness in her heart to tell others, and only she, who is a father, can be trusted. But how can he be qualified to trust his daughter, who is regarded as a jewel?

His daughter is sensible and well-behaved, and his daughter is kind and gentle. That's it, he still suffered from the abuse and bullying of his so-called relatives, and he almost couldn't see his Jiaojiao. In terms of her character, if Huang Zhaodi really succeeds in his calculations, she will not survive in the world, so who will avenge her daughter? He has never been so grateful to God for letting him see his Jiaojiao alive, and for letting his Jiaojiao wait for him to come back.

Look at her daughter's yellow face and thin muscles, her body is as thin as a piece of paper, and the poor life makes her content, well-behaved and sensible, but she knows that she is standing behind her without him, she endures it with white eyes, endures it with grievances, endures it with it, and learns to observe words and colors when she endures it, she is calm and stable, and she hides something in her heart.

It's not that he doesn't blame his wife, he knows his father too well, if it was the same as he expected, his wife was in the army with her daughter, who would dare to beat her idea? But he couldn't say it. He is a man, he can blame and complain, he can only be himself. In the 17 years since his disappearance, his wife has been searching all over the country, waiting for his return. She boiled up her tears and suffered lovesickness, how could he bear it? What qualifications do you have to complain about your father-in-law and mother-in-law? Even his own father turned a blind eye to his child, and even made matters worse and fell into the well.

In the past 17 years, this iron-like man has been seriously injured many times and has not shed a single tear, and he has not shed a single tear since he was sensible. Even if I miss the pain in my heart, I look forward to completing the task as soon as possible and returning as soon as possible. But now when I look at my daughter in my arms and say to my father, why did you come back, I can't help but cry anymore.

He imagined what would happen to him when he saw his daughter countless times. What about her? But I never expected to see her crying bitterly. Listening to her sentence by sentence how she came back, there was no more complaint, no blame. It was when he saw such a daughter, the delicate in his arms, that he felt more and more heartache.

Several times he wondered if he had sacrificed, would his Jiaojiao forget her father? Will you not know that her father in this world is trying to live just to see her—to tell her that he wants her to be as delicate as her name—that he will be pampered, that he can live proudly, and that he can be as delicate as a princess.

In the past few days since he came back, in his father-in-law's mouth and his wife's conversation, he has learned that his daughter has grown up like a weed, watching her surroundings learn to grow. But he still inherited his advantages in his bones, and he deserves to be his daughter! His delicate is strong and kind, calm in life, cautious, knowledgeable, and quick-thinking, but he is not squeamish. Life has given her hardships, she has learned to be generous and calm, she has learned to hide in a low-key manner, and she has learned a lot of ways to behave in the world. He was proud and sad.

Zhou Xiaozheng saw that someone was approaching not far away, so he secretly wiped his tears, and hurriedly patted Zhou Jiao gently, "Dad's Jiaojiao, good daughter, don't cry." Daddy is back and won't let you cry anymore. Someone is coming, take Dad in first. ”

Zhou Jiao was a little crying, she didn't react stupidly, and watched her father shed tears. Lin Lishan couldn't see it, and pulled her to go home, she reacted, and only shouted in a hurry, "Mom, don't pull." My dad, my dad hasn't come in yet, dad, come in..."

Lin Lishan took her hand with one hand, and glanced at her angrily, her red eyes were white and not charming, "You are stupid, your father is holding your hand, and you are kissing your father, huh?" ”

Zhou Jiao didn't have time to talk to her, so she looked at her father, looked stupidly, and dragged his hand stubbornly. When he found Zhang Guoqing running over, he hurriedly cheered: "Brother, my dad is here!" Brother, my dad is really back! My dad is still alive! Look, this is my dad, it's my dad. After speaking, he also vigorously held Zhou Xiaozheng's hand.

Zhou Xiaozheng kept looking at her, watching her tugging his hand hard, clasping it tightly, showing off like a child, proudly like a child, crying big eyes as clear as water, and smiling triumphantly on her face.

As Zhou Jiao shouted and cheered, those who heard the sound in the distance saw Zhou Xiaozheng in military uniform, and they all ran over curiously. Zhou Jiao's father is Zhou Xiaozheng. Everyone is from the surrounding villages, who doesn't know Zhou Xiaozheng? That's Zhou Xiaozheng, who became an officer and married the general's daughter. Zhou Xiaozheng, who has been dead for more than ten years.

There were also childhood friends in the crowd who grew up with Zhou Xiaozheng, and they all ran here in surprise, wiping their eyes in disbelief as they ran, didn't they all say that they had become martyrs?
