The family has been around for hundreds of years, starting from Hong Kong Island.

A village in central Guangdong Province!

At noon, Li Zhendong sat on the edge of the field and smoked a cigarette. There was no fluctuation in his young eyes, and he completely lost the passion and activity he had in the army and on the battlefield.

A year ago, he retired from the army and returned home, picked up the hoe again, and started the life that his ancestors had lived for generations.

He has asked more than once, is he going to live like this for the rest of his life?

Looking at Tian Jian's father's back, which is already bent with fatigue, and his eldest brother's face, which has wrinkles already appearing after he is less than thirty years old!

He seemed to have seen his future.

Not willing to give in!

But what?

After smoking a cigarette, he put the cigarette butt on the ground and stubbed it out, picked up the farm tools again and walked into the field.

But not long after, he suddenly heard someone shouting his name not far away.

"Dongzi, someone is looking for you!"

It turns out to be the second uncle from the village. There is another person standing next to him. He is quite tall and strong, and he is dressed in a fashionable style. He should be from a big city. Why are you looking for me?

And he seems familiar!

As he slowly walked in, the face became clearer and clearer. Suddenly, Li Zhendong's face lit up with joy.

"Monitor!"

After recognizing Su Shaoze, Li Zhendong ran over excitedly

"Monitor, why are you here? And you have changed so much that I almost don’t recognize you!"

"Dongzi, let me see you and bring you something!"

Su Shaoze said with a laugh, his fist knocked on Li Zhendong's chest, making a bouncing sound.

"Let’s go, let’s talk about it when we get home!"

……

Li Zhendong's house is very simple, with only a few wooden houses. He and his parents live on one side, and his eldest brother's family lives on the other side.

His two nephews and a niece ran over in a hurry, staring motionlessly at the package of things Su Shaoze placed on the table.

Before coming back, Su Shaoze bought some food from Hong Kong Island.

There are also two watches given to Li Zhendong's father and eldest brother. At this time, watches are high-end goods and not cheap, but they are nothing to Su Shaoze.

After all, you can’t come empty-handed!

It doesn't matter if Li Zhendong is alone, but he still has his parents and family!

"Come, come all over, you're welcome, take whatever you want to eat, it's all for you!"

Seeing the three little guys standing far away, Su Shaoze called them over, took out toffee biscuits from his bag, and gave them to them

"Thank you uncle!"

The three children took it timidly, then ran out shouting happily.

"Monitor, what are you doing?"

Su Shaoze's generous gesture made Li Zhendong very uncomfortable and felt quite at a loss.

"I just came back from Hong Kong Island!"

Su Shaoze divided the cigarette, lit it, took a puff, and said softly

"ah?"

……

Soon, Su Shaoze told Li Zhendong everything. Like Hou Weidong, Li Zhendong decided to follow Su Shaoze without much thought.

He was afraid that if he continued to stay here, he would become as numb as his father and elder brother, lose his sharpness, and would have to nod and bow when he saw a big-ass petty official.

He wants to leave!

Hong Kong Island is a fascinating place!

"Okay, you settle down at home first, and then go to Guangzhou to meet Monkey, Lao Huo and the others. I have to find other people."

"Great, Monkey, Lao Huo and the others are here too, who else will go?"

"I plan to go find Da Zhuang, Lao Pao and Hua Zi again!"

"I haven’t seen them for a long time, I miss them so much! I really hope all the former brothers can get back together. Li Zhendong said with nostalgia

"Yes, many brothers will come back!"

……

Lao Pao is a veteran of reconnaissance, rich in experience and brave in combat. He has killed more than ten enemies with his own hands.

However, during a battle, an incendiary bomb exploded near him, and the flames instantly swept through his body.

It was Su Shaoze who dragged him back under the rain of bullets and put out the flames with soil.

However, large areas of his body had been burned, and his clothes were connected to his skin and flesh. Doctors in the army said that his chance of survival was slim.

Unexpectedly, in the end he endured tenaciously.

Because of his injuries, he was discharged from the army and returned to his hometown before the war was over.

Because he was a fighting hero, the local government arranged a job for him after he returned to his hometown.

But he was not happy, not only because he had to endure physical pain every day, but also because he had to face the strange looks from the people around him.

After all, half of the skin on his face was burned off, and he looked like a ghost. Children would be frightened and cry when they saw it.

No one would talk to him, no one would come to see him, and no one would introduce him to this ugly monster.

The only thing that accompanies him every day is loneliness!

On this day, he came home from get off work, lowered his head and was about to open the door, trying not to let anyone see his face.

But out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly noticed a person standing on the street not far away, looking at him.

Turning around to look, Lao Pao was stunned.

"class, class~！"

His body trembled slightly, his dry mouth opened, his voice was hoarse but he couldn't scream, and his eyes gradually became moist.

……

Lao Pao cried very sadly. The tough man was like a child who wanted to cry out all the loneliness and grievances he had experienced in the past two years.

Su Shaoze also had red eyes, didn't speak, and just kept smoking.

It wasn't until dark that the two of them calmed down.

"I am here this time to take you to Hong Kong Island!"

"Nowadays, medical technology is so advanced. I have asked you that your situation can be recovered through several surgeries."

"Really, really? Can I go back to my original look?"Lao Pao said with a trembling voice.

"You can recover, but you will definitely not be as handsome as you were before!"Su Shaoze comforted with a chuckle.

Lao Pao was not disappointed, and still tremblingly said to himself:"I don't care whether he is handsome or not, I just want to be a normal person."

"You don’t have to bear the strange looks from people around you, and you don’t have to live with your head down every day. Just be ordinary!"

Listening to Lao Pao's words, Su Shaoze felt even more sad. He didn't know what to say, so he could only pat him on the shoulder.

"everything will get better!"
