Mrs. Song looked at her eldest son who suddenly appeared at the door of her house. She thought she missed her eldest son too much and was about to rub her eyes and go to the hospital tomorrow.

　　Suddenly, the eldest daughter-in-law screamed, and then she was blown past her like a gust of wind. Then she hugged her eldest son, whom she thought was an illusion, and started crying.

　　"Song Zhang, I knew you were not dead!"

　　"If you die, I will never let you go even if I become a ghost!"

　　Mrs. Song silently looked at her husband behind her, and seeing that he showed the same shock as her, she realized something. After a pause, she took a blood pressure pill first, and then gave one to her husband.

　　The eldest son, who she thought was gone, suddenly came home without anyone noticing. She couldn't tell whether she was more surprised or shocked. However, she is fine now. After taking blood pressure medicine, Mrs. Song feels that she is so strong now!

　　After Song Zhang comforted his wife and son and dismissed the people who were crowded in front of the Song family's door, he looked at his parents, whose hair had turned white, and knelt on the ground, "Mom and Dad, I am an unfilial son!"

　　Song Mingde's hands trembled, and he slowly patted his son's shoulders, saying in a hoarse voice, "It's good that you're back."

　　Mrs. Song helped her eldest son up with red eyes and said in a choked voice: "Where have you been all these years? Do you know that we have been looking for you like crazy?"

　　Song Zhang, a tough guy, shed tears when he heard his mother's crying, and slowly told his parents and wife what happened that year.

　　When they were on a mission, they were betrayed by a traitor and their unit was almost wiped out. Only a few people were left. In order to find out the traitor, the organization made him fake his death. After the traitor was found, he was selected by the higher-ups to participate in special training because of his outstanding ability. What he did was too dangerous, and he didn't know when he would die, so he chose to hide everything from his family.

　　After hearing the whole story, Mrs. Song, who was always elegant and dignified in front of others, ignored everything else and slapped her son with tears on her face, "Big brother, you are so cruel. Do you know how we have been through these years? Your wife was pregnant with your child at that time. When our family was being watched covetously, your brother gave up his dream to protect our family."

　　"I hid in my bed and cried every night. My eyes were almost blinded by crying. Your father's health is getting worse and worse. You are an unfilial son!"

　　Song Zhang allowed his mother to beat and scold him. He knew that he had let his family down, but if he could choose again, his choice would remain the same. Only when the big country is well, can the small family be well.

　　Song's father looked at his son with a look of satisfaction, "Father is proud of you!"

　　He was also a soldier, so he could understand his son's thoughts. To serve the country and die for the country is the belief engraved in the bones of every soldier.

　　As if remembering something, Song Mingde looked at his eldest son and asked, "Back then, was it you who asked someone to take Song Zhen to join the army, and then asked someone to take him to perform meritorious service to protect our family?"

　　Song Zhang was stunned. He didn't expect that his father had guessed it. He could only say, "Something happened to Aru's family at that time, and it was difficult for me to show up. I had no choice but to do this. If I am really gone in the future, the Song family needs someone who can stand up and deal with the wolves and tigers outside."
