The night has passed and the dawn is coming.

Li Zihang lay in his bed, unable to sleep for most of the night.

His mind was filled with a myriad of thoughts, as every detail of the past year reverberated through his mind.

The rooster crowed and he had no desire to sleep any longer, so he simply got up and went to the training room in the backyard to start practicing boxing.

The sound of punches and kicks hitting the sandbags was particularly loud in the yard in the early morning.

Grandma Jiu, who had woken up early, noticed the sound. She walked to the door of the practice room, saw Li Zihang's back, and a hint of disbelief flashed in her eyes.

"Xiao Hang? Is it really you?"

She called out tentatively.

As Li Zihang turned around, Jiunai screamed excitedly.

"Xiaohang, is it really you?"

She asked in disbelief, then walked over quickly and looked at Li Zihang carefully.

Then pinch his face or even stand on tiptoe to touch his head.

"You've become thinner and taller. I can't even touch your head." Grandma Jiu said with emotion.

Li Zihang smiled slightly, said nothing, and just looked at Jiunai quietly.

Grandma Jiu also calmed down from her excitement at this time.

Then he said quickly.

"Xiaohang, I'll go call you, grandma. You stay here and don't move."

The tone of his voice was like coaxing a child, as if he was afraid that the child would get lost.

Li Zihang quickly persuaded.

"Nine Grandma, please call me grandma later."

"I won't leave this time. I will be with you every day."

Only at this point did Jiunai feel relieved.

Sitting aside and watching Li Zihang practice.

Time passed by, and Li Zihang went to the old man's room in advance, greeted his grandmother and kowtowed to her.

The greetings ended with grandma asking about his health and with tears in her eyes.

In the Li's restaurant, when everyone arrived, everyone was extremely excited about Li Zihang's return.

The rain tightly embraced Li Zihang, who was much taller than her, and his tears and snot flowed uncontrollably.

Her expression was filled with joy.

Yu Shui said as she hugged Li Zihang.

"Brother Xiaohang, you're really back. You don't know how much I missed you."

"I also asked grandpa and grandma about your situation."

"Stinky grandpa, why don't you tell me?"

The old man who was sitting next to him drinking porridge turned a little upset when he heard Yu Shui's words.

Feeling the true feelings expressed by the rain, Li Zihang felt warm in his heart.

He stroked Yu Shui's little head with his hand, comforting her and speaking with disdain.

"You can cry, but don't get your snot bubbles on my clothes."

When Yu Shui heard this, he loosened his arms and pretended to be angry and hit Li Zihang.

Not long after Li Zihang's training, Dasha also left the Li family and returned to his general's mansion.

The second brother Decai also left and moved back to live with his seventh uncle.

At this moment, except for Aunt Qian, who is an outsider, all the others in the Li family are members of the Li family.

After Li Zihang greeted his stepmother, Aunt Gu, he looked at Li Sijie, who had changed a lot. He saw that his face had become rosy and he had grown taller.

The body is much stronger and the temperament has changed more.

Li Sijie spoke to him as if he was treating a stranger.

He shouted something just to deal with the official business.

"Brother~you're back."

Li Zihang saw several different expressions in his eyes.

Li Zihang said without changing his expression.

"Little brother, you've grown taller and stronger."

After saying that, he touched Li Sijie's head.

When Li Sijie saw Li Zihang trying to touch his head, he instinctively wanted to avoid him.

But in the end she restrained herself and stood there stiffly, allowing Li Zihang to touch her.

At this moment, the Li family appeared to be in great joy, but there was a cold gleam in the old man's eyes.

Grandma, although smiling, was a little worried in her heart.

Aunt Gu, Li Sijie's mother, showed some sadness on her face when she saw how her son treated Li Zihanghang.

On the surface, everyone seemed to be talking about their daily lives and having a good time, but secretly, they all had their own concerns.

After breakfast, Li Zihang had to take care of his own personal affairs.

After a busy morning, I finally got things arranged.

Li Zihang simply packed up the house at the fringe of urban and rural areas and gave all the other things to his neighbors.

Li Zihang originally wanted to transfer the bonsai shop directly to Shunzi.

But that was his hard work, and he could come into contact with all kinds of big names.

He was a little reluctant to give up that network of contacts.

In the end, the store was transferred to Shunzi, but he would go to help whenever he was free and make bonsai for Aunt Hong.

He also contacted those people by the way.

In the evening, the sunset glows red across the sky.

Only then did Li Zihang leisurely ride his bicycle home.

I rode my bike back to No. 40 Nanluoguxiang and unexpectedly ran into an old man who was getting off work.

Li Zihang rang the bicycle bell and the third uncle greeted him.

"Hey~ Isn't this Uncle Three~"

"You've been promoted. Look at the briefcase you're holding. You look like a cadre."

The uncle heard the sound of a bicycle bell and turned his head to look.

This guy looks like the second young master next door, so I want to talk to him.

Unexpectedly, Li Zihang spoke first.

Only then did he realize that it was Li Zihang who had disappeared for almost a year.

Third uncle: "It turns out to be you, young master~"

"I thought it was the Second Young Master! You disappeared for such a long time, and you tease me as soon as you come back."

After the third uncle finished speaking, he paused for a while and looked at Li Zihang carefully.

"Xiao Hang, you've changed. Although you used to speak to us politely, you always give people the feeling that you are keeping us at a distance."

“Now it seems to be the same as our group.”

Li Zihang also said happily.

"Okay, Third Master, I've discovered that you are a cheap person."

"I'm being polite to you, but you said I was keeping people at a distance."

Without waiting for the third uncle to reply, Li Zihang pedaled his bike and rushed out.

The third uncle looked at Li Zihang's back as he rode his bike and said with emotion.

"It has changed~it has really changed, but now the Li family is going to have something interesting to watch."

Not long after Li Zihang returned home, he ran to the next yard to call Yu Shui to eat.

A few steps away, I greeted my neighbors and explained why I disappeared.

When I walked to the front yard, I saw the three aunts making braised chicken nuggets, which was a rare sight.

Li Zihang sniffed the fragrance in the air.

Then he said to the three aunts.

"Hey~Three Aunts"

"You cooked the chicken wrong. You need to put more onions, ginger, garlic, and star anise, and more soy sauce. Stop being so stingy all the time."

The three aunts were holding a spatula and frying chicken on a coal stove under the eaves.

He stopped when he heard the voice.

When he saw Li Zihang, he was stunned.

Then he said in surprise.

"Young Master, you are finally back. I haven't seen you for such a long time. I missed you so much."

Li Zihang answered with a smile.

"miss me?"

"What you said was inappropriate. It just so happened that this chicken was just right for me to have a welcoming dinner."

When the third aunt heard this, the smile on her face became a little fake, but she still said it with gritted teeth.

"It is a blessing for this chicken to be eaten by you, young master."

"Wait for me to finish, then I'll go and invite you~"

Li Zihang saw the three aunts and said things that were not what they meant.

He started yelling again.

"Everyone, come and see~ Auntie Sanda is treating everyone to chicken."

Wow, as soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the yard immediately left the house.

Let’s take a look and see if the three aunts took the wrong medicine.

The third aunt quickly waved her hands to tell Li Zihang to stop yelling.

"My little master, it's been such a long time since we last met. How come you are as poor as a fool?"

At this time, Shui Gen in the yard also joined in the fun.

"Third Aunt, you barely eat chicken once a year, so how can you be willing to treat the young master to meat now?"

"You can't be scornful of the poor and fond of the rich~"

The third aunt was getting angry now, and she was waving the spatula in her hand as if she was trying to chase someone away.

"Go, go, go~"

"Why are you joining in the fun? When you guys were having meat dinner, why didn't you give me a bowl of meat?"

Li Zihang stopped talking nonsense and chatted with the third aunt for a while before leaving.

Before leaving, he pointed at the braised chicken in the pot and said.

“It tastes better if you add more seasoning~”

The three aunts looked at Li Zihang in the market, and their minds were full of question marks.

The third aunt said to Li Zihang who was leaving.

"You've learned bad things, kid."

As soon as I arrived at the Central Courtyard, I ran into Qin Huairu who was washing vegetables.

Li Zihang whistled directly at her.

Qin Huairu heard someone whistling at her.

Just as he was about to get angry, he stood up and turned his head to look.

Isn’t this the young master next door?

Qin Huairu was still confused, and Li Zihang started to tease her.

"Sister Jia, I haven't seen you for a year. You are getting more and more beautiful."

Once these words were spoken, the confused Qinhuai District blushed again.

Such words are considered explicit to young people in this era.

Li Zihang looked at the blushing Qin Huairu and started teasing again.

"Sister-in-law, why are you blushing? There's an 11-year age difference between us!"

"Besides, I'm still a child, you can't have any bad thoughts about me~"

"Otherwise, Brother Jia will kill me."

Qin Huairu was so ashamed and angry that she scooped up water and splashed it on him.

How could Li Zihang let Qin Huairu splash water all over him, so he dodged when he saw her trying to splash water on him.

Qin Huairu originally wanted to retort, but unexpectedly, Bang Geng in the room started crying.

Qin Huairu wiped her hands with her apron and said.

"You little brat, you even teased me. I'll cause trouble for you later~"

After saying that, she went to see her son.

Li Zihang stopped making fun of himself and walked to Yu Shui's door and knocked.

"Yushui, let's go eat~"

I was secretly watching the rain in the house as Li Zihang and Qin Huairu were flirting with each other.

He would quickly sit at the table and pretend to do his homework.

Yu Shui: "I understand, Brother Xiao Hang~"

As soon as Yu Shui finished speaking, Li Zihang went straight into the house.

Looking at Yu Shui's beautifully decorated house, I found that everything was changing.

Then he sighed~

Yu Shui didn't quite understand why Li Zihang sighed, so she associated her doubts with the scene just now.

Yu Shui: "Brother Xiaohang, do you like Sister Jia like my brother?"

Li Zihang was confused by Yu Shui's words.

Li Zihang looked at Yu Shui with a puzzled look and motioned for her to finish what she was saying.

Yu Shui: "I heard everything you said to Sister Jia just now."

"Why do men like women with big breasts and big butts? My brother and I are the same."

After Yu Shui finished speaking, he lowered his head and glanced at his flat chest.

When Li Zihang heard this, he responded speechlessly.

"What the hell is going on? Stop talking nonsense."

"You think I'm the same as your brother. Come on, stop talking about this useless stuff and go eat."
