Chapter 751: Let go of past grudges and resume studying
After Ajie's mother took a taxi to the police station, she rushed in and said, "Hello, comrade. I'm here to pick up Zhou Jie."
"Oh! Zhou Jie's family member! Come with me!" A young policeman took her to the place and left.
Mother Zhou stood at the door of the room and took a deep breath. She mustered up the courage to knock on the door. The old policeman knew it must be Zhou Jie's mother. He stood up and opened the door. Zhou Jie also stood up and looked at the door. This glance seemed to be several years apart. Mother Zhou had tears in her eyes. She was less than fifty years old, but half of her hair was already silver. Her face no longer had the luster it once had. She looked much older.
Ajie looked at his mother's vicissitudes, and at this moment he could no longer hold back the guilt in his heart. He rushed forward and knelt in front of his mother, shedding tears of regret, "Mom, it's all my fault. I'm a bastard. I made you and Dad sad." Ajie cried and slapped himself wildly. Apart from taking it out on himself, he really didn't know how to restore his mother's glory.
Seeing this, Mother Zhou hurriedly hugged her son's arm and said, "Son, stop hitting yourself. It's good that you can recognize your mistakes. It means that there is still hope for your life. Everything in the past should be a lesson to remind you at all times. Son, you are only seventeen years old. Your best years have just begun. Just do well in the future."
"Yes! Child, don't blame yourself. It was not easy to save your life. Just walk the right path in the future and don't let your parents worry about you anymore. Go home with your mother!" The old policeman also persuaded.
Ajie nodded to his mother, thanked the old policeman, registered, and went home. As soon as Ajie left the police station, he suddenly remembered something and said to his mother, "Mom, wait for me for a while. I have something to tell the police uncle."
"Okay, then mom will go back with you."
The mother and daughter came back while talking. Ajie found the old policeman and said, "Uncle policeman, I want to ask, has the woman who was with us come back?"
"No! The army only sent you boys back, but there were no girls! Can you tell me in detail what happened?" the old policeman asked puzzledly.
Ajie told the policeman about Fang Yingying's murder. The policeman and Zhou's mother were shocked when they heard it. Could the child really be dead?
The old policeman thought for a moment and said, "Wait a minute, I'll ask the higher-ups what's going on."
After a while, he came back and said to Zhou Jie and his mother, "My child, God is helping you! You must be a good person in the future! The girl has been rescued and has almost recovered. She has been sent back home."
"That's good, that's good!" Zhou's mother said, touching her chest. Fortunately, there was no danger, otherwise her son would be in trouble! After knowing the result, the mother and son went home.
On the way home, Mother Zhou told her son about the family situation. Originally, Zhou's parents both worked in state-owned enterprises. Although they were not rich, they were a well-off family and lived a comfortable life. But ever since Ajie ran away from home, the couple missed their son all day long. They would look for him whenever they heard any sign of trouble and often suffered from insomnia and nightmares. Father Zhou finally couldn't bear the burden and suffered a cerebral hemorrhage. The family spent a lot of money to save his life, but they could do nothing from then on and could only support him. In order to take care of her husband, Mother Zhou also took a long vacation. Now the family savings have been almost spent. Mother Zhou has just returned to work and is fine now. Her son is back too.
Listening to his mother's story, Ajie felt so heartbroken that he could hardly breathe. At this moment, he regretted immensely. His willful behavior had destroyed their originally happy family and also caused his father to become seriously ill. He must make a name for himself and fulfill his filial duties in the future.
After the mother and son returned home, Zhou's father also shed tears of excitement. After the family enjoyed the happy time of reunion after a long separation, Zhou's father asked Ajie: "Son, what are your plans for the future?"
"I want to continue studying." Ajie blurted out without thinking.
The couple looked at each other, and Zhou's mother said with some embarrassment: "You haven't been to school for half a year. Can you still study now? And I'm afraid that good school you went to before won't accept you anymore."
"Everything depends on human efforts. As long as I want to study, I can get in. It doesn't matter, Mom. Just find a school for me. My goal is to enter a military academy. It would be best if one is close to home so that I can go home and take care of Dad, and you don't have to worry about home while you are at work." Ajie said.
"Okay, Mom will find one for you tomorrow. Your mom and dad can take good care of themselves. Just focus on your studies and plan a good future for yourself. We will be relieved." Mother Zhou said happily. Seeing that their son had really grown up, the couple suddenly felt that the suffering they had endured these days was nothing.
After experiencing all this, Ajie has a new goal in his life. When he sees the military brothers who appear in their times of crisis, he longs to become a hero like that.
From then on, he cut off the yellow hair that blocked his eyes, put on his schoolbag, and returned to the quiet campus life. He continued to work hard for his goal...
Ajie is indeed no longer obsessed with games. He has turned his interest in computers into useful things, and he is no longer as extravagant as before. Now, apart from eating and buying study materials, he basically doesn't spend any money.
At first, Zhou's mother was worried that she could not support a senior high school student by herself. Later, her son's performance made her feel relieved. Moreover, her son occasionally did some part-time jobs on weekends to earn some money to supplement the family income. Most importantly, Ajie's grades also improved by leaps and bounds. The school has listed him as a key training target and also awarded him a considerable amount of scholarships. In other words, Ajie not only did not spend much money on his studies, but also earned a lot of money.
Ajie's changes made his parents very happy. His absurd and willful experience in the past always spurred him on in his life direction. In the near future, he really became a useful pillar of society...
