I said to Qiao Jie: "Thank you for the reminder, Qiao Jie, you are absolutely right, the same as what the experts at the city hospital said,"

That is, companionship from family is one of the best methods for treating vegetative patients.

As for me, I'm busy now; it's not realistic to take care of Zhou Wei all day.

Mother and Ru Meng, the old are old and the young are young, they are not suitable.

As for what Niushiling is like, let's go back and take a look first, then we'll talk.

"Jianqiang, I don't have any special skills, but taking care of a patient is still something I can do,"

Zhou Wei used to treat me very well. The clothes I'm wearing were still bought by her.

If Zhou Wei can go to Niushiling, I will take care of her.

I'm idle anyway, I have nothing to do." Qiao Jie said.

"What Qiao Jie said is right, leaving Zhou Wei alone in the hospital not only wastes money but also makes her very lonely."

"Jianqiang, after we fix up the house in Niushiling, we'll bring Zhou Wei over." Qian Niang said.

"Mother, okay, I'll ask Dean Yang about Zhou Wei's condition first. Qiao Jie, thank you for your thoughtfulness, for thinking of taking care of Zhou Wei." I sincerely thanked.

"Jianqiang, don't be polite. Sun Dajun is your son, and Ru Meng is my daughter."

"I hope you can find time to see Sun Dajun, stop being angry with him—after all, he's your son, he grew up before your eyes." Qiao Jie said again while crying.

"Don't worry, Qiao Jie, I will definitely see Sun Dajun. As long as he reforms well, I'll find a way to get him released early." I said.

"Really." Qiao Jie said happily.

"Really, I do what I say." I said.

"This kid Sun Dajun has a straightforward temperament, nothing else wrong with him; he was led astray by bad people. His godfather is no good."

"I've seen him once; he was fierce and ignored people." Qian Niang said from the side.

"Hmph, I hate that Niu person to death; it's all his fault that my family's Sun Dajun got into trouble. This person is the worst; he teamed up with that Kang woman to set a trap for my family's Sun Dajun,"

"then got Sun Dajun thrown into prison and made Jianqiang a fugitive."

"People like him never end well,"

"he ended up in prison."

"If he falls into my hands, I'll bite his flesh piece by piece." Qiao Jie said angrily.

It can be seen that Qiao Jie truly hates Niu Ju.

However, Niu Ju is truly no good, partnering with Kang Yali,

together to deal with us two elders.

Thinking about these, I am also very angry.

Sigh, these are all past events; I only hope Sun Dajun can reform and awaken in prison.

Our car quickly entered Niushiling Town.

Upon arriving at Niushiling Town,

I found a place to stop the car,

I got out of the car.

It has been over ten years since I last set foot on this land of Niushiling.

It's still the familiar dusty smell.

Niushiling, I'm back. I said in my heart.

Looking at the streets of Niushiling, compared to over ten years ago, they have declined considerably.

One can no longer see the former prosperity of Niushiling.

Back then, this place was full of stalls and bustling crowds.

Now the newly built national highway no longer goes through Niushiling; it passes through Zaocheng Xin Cheng.

Inconvenient road traffic is one of the reasons.

Also, the iron ore on the ridge has been almost exhausted.

The iron mine has been closed.

Back then, Qian Niang even had me work at the iron factory.

If I had gone to the iron factory, I might now be looking for work everywhere.

Truly, the rivers have shifted east to west over ten years,

Life is truly hard to predict; the future of a place is the same.

I look at the sky here, I look at the land here.

Breathing the air here,

thinking of twenty years ago, there was a young man named Sun Yansheng.

what he looked like when he first came to Niushiling,

he had just walked out of the mountains, he saw the bright lights of Niushiling Town,

this was the big city he longed for,

but in Niushiling he had no relatives in sight,

he looked around, gazing,

there was delicious pork baked bun, which became an unforgettable delicacy for his lifetime.

here he met the most important benefactor in his life; his true starting point in life was right here.

Originally, his purpose in coming to Niushiling was just one thing: to thank an old lady.

That old lady had merely helped him when his sister gave birth in the hospital.

He is a grateful person,

Others show him a little kindness, and he repays tenfold.

He only wanted to say thank you to the old lady.

Then he bought some things and visited the old lady.

Who would have thought that he would meet Zhang Baqiang here,

Zhang Baqiang stole his money and left him on Niushiling.

Having no choice, he could only follow a rebar worker named Liu Yichui at the Niushiling construction site.

He worked and learned, eventually becoming a master craftsman.

Then, through the site supervisor Wu Xiezi, he became the site's foreman.

Then here he took that old lady as his foster mother, Qian Niang, and met the Li Ming brothers.

He then went to the city, helping Company Director Zhang Zong deal with Fan Shazi and Liu Xian's wife.

Liu Xian's wife is called Xia Yuan, and she is a very important woman in Sun Yansheng's life.

He and Xia Yuan became acquainted, and gradually the county town stabilized.

He set up a demolition department, built relocation housing, when the houses were ready, he went to prison,

He came out of prison.

With Xia Yuan's help, he established Da Heng Company.

It developed little by little.

But Xia Yuan left him.

Xia Yuan, are you doing well in heaven? I asked in my heart.

But no voice answered me.

Today I stand here, suddenly seeing my past,

Those past events, like a movie, flashed in my mind.

At Niushiling, back then I was still called Sun Yansheng, not yet Zhao Jianqiang, nor Zhaoerhai.

I really wanted to shout, 'Sun Yansheng, I'm back!'

Are you still at Niushiling?

Is life truly impossible to return to? It should be possible to go back.

I closed my eyes, as if seeing Sun Yansheng standing before me.

He wore old clothes, his expression somewhat shy, he looked at me,

I said to Sun Yansheng: 'Sun Yansheng, coming to Niushiling was right. This is an important starting point in your life, here is the most important person in your life.'

Young man, knowing gratitude brings reward.

Sun Yansheng just gave me a shy smile; he was too bashful,

His smile was so handsome,

His skin revealed a youthful glow,

His gaze was so firm,

From his gaze one could see his hope for the future.

This hope is the hope of our generation,

We longed for a good life, to change our origins and future.

Because society is in a great transformation, opportunities abound everywhere; as long as you strive, there is hope.

We are the generation living in hope, and also the happiest generation in society.

I so wanted to walk up to Sun Yansheng, pat his shoulder, even hold his hand, to feel his youthful strength.

I wanted to tell him there are still many things to do in the future,

I wanted to tell him the future road is hard to walk, people's hearts are treacherous.

I wanted to tell him, his burden is heavy.

I wanted to tell him….

But Sun Yansheng seemed indifferent to these,

He skillfully took out a cigarette,

and proactively handed it to me,

then lit it and took a puff himself,

He said, 'Come work with me on the ridge, food and lodging provided. You can earn a few dozen a day.'

I smiled and took the cigarette.

At that moment Sun Yansheng saw a group of people ahead and immediately shouted, 'My name is Sun Yansheng, I'm a foreman on the ridge; who wants to work with me? Let's go to the ridge and work as contractors to make big money.'

Sure enough, someone was willing to follow Sun Yansheng to work.

Then Sun Yansheng smiled at me, waved his hand, and walked away.

I watched the receding Sun Yansheng,

I also waved my hand, feeling it wasn't a farewell to Sun Yansheng but a long-awaited reunion.
