Chapter 176: Zhou Weiguo Returns Home
After the battle in Yuanping City entered a white-hot phase, Zhou Weiguo also briefly parted with Xiao Ya and returned to Shanghai to go home and see his father Zhou Jixian.
But just as he arrived at the doorstep, an officer from the Central Military Academy intercepted him here.
“We are ordered to inform you that after you see your father, please immediately go to the military academy tomorrow to follow the new operation arrangements, because a new action is about to begin!”
The man was a burly and strong officer named Huo Fei.
His military position was regiment commander.
“Yes! Officer!”
After glancing at the shoulder insignia of the unfamiliar officer in front of him,
Zhou Weiguo also immediately agreed loudly.
“Then I’ll leave first. See you at the Central Military Academy tomorrow, because I’m also in the same troops as you, waiting for the execution of the new combat mission!”
Regiment Commander Huo Fei nodded and agreed.
Then he also turned and left satisfactorily, got into the car he had driven over, and quickly left with the companions in the car.
After watching Huo Fei leave,
he also rang the doorbell at home,
As the ‘ding-a-ling!’ doorbell sounds rang out,
Soon, the gate was opened; it was the butler Hu Hua inside who opened it.
“Mm! Young Master!”
“You’ve finally returned!”
Seeing Zhou Weiguo, who hadn’t appeared for many years,
the butler Hu Hua, who already had white hair, was also surprised for a moment,
then said delightedly.
“Mm! I’m back!”
“Is my father at home?”
Zhou Weiguo showed a long-absent smile.
“Yes! Yes! I’ll go notify him right away!”
“He’ll be very happy!”
The butler Hu Hua said excitedly.
“No need to notify him. Just take me there directly!”
Zhou Weiguo smiled and responded.
“Mm! I’ll take you there right away! The master is in the study!”
The butler Hu Hua quickly nodded and agreed.
Then he led the way in front of Zhou Weiguo.
And Zhou Weiguo also entered the home he had been away from for so long.
Soon,
Zhou Weiguo saw his father Zhou Jixian reading in the study,
and Zhou Jixian also noticed Zhou Weiguo following the butler Hu Hua as they walked in together.
“You’ve finally returned? Why didn’t you call to notify me?”
Seeing Zhou Weiguo after a long separation, Zhou Jixian also said with a hint of happiness.
“Mm! On the cruise ship, there was no way to notify you in time, and I also didn’t know how many days it would take for the cruise ship I was on to reach Shanghai, so I planned to come back first and give you a surprise!”
Zhou Weiguo smiled and responded.
“Good! Then tonight our family will have a good dinner party and chat!”
“We father and son haven’t had a good talk together for a long time!”
Seeing the long-absent smile of his son whom he had been worried about,
Zhou Jixian also smiled happily in response.
“Butler! Go quickly to the kitchen and have them cook some delicious dishes for us. Today I want to have a good meal with Weiguo!”
Then, Zhou Jixian instructed the butler Hu Hua.
“Yes! Master!”
The butler Hu Hua also immediately nodded in understanding and agreed.
Then, he quickly turned and left to instruct the chefs in the kitchen to prepare a sumptuous feast to welcome Zhou Weiguo’s return.
“Have you gone to visit Xiao Ya?”
“She is your fiancée after all!”
After the butler Hu Hua left to carry out the instructions,
Zhou Jixian continued to press Zhou Weiguo.
“I have! By the way, what about Eldest Brother and Third Brother?”
“Are they okay? Can the family have a dinner party together tonight?”
But Zhou Weiguo quickly shifted the topic to Eldest Brother Liu Yuan and Brother Liu Zhihui.
“Your brother Zhihui, I can have him come back right away for the dinner party!”
“But your Eldest Brother Liu Yuan, I don’t know where he has gone now!”
“It’s been quite a while since he last sent word home!”
“I’m also very worried about him!”
Zhou Jixian shook his head.
“Then call Third Brother back! As for Eldest Brother, I’ll find a way to track down his whereabouts!”
“Maybe through our military academy’s network of relationships, we can find out where he is!”
Zhou Weiguo nodded and responded.
“Alright! I’ll call him now to come back!”
“He is now attending the Whampoa Military Academy and has become a thirteenth term cadet of the Whampoa Military Academy!”
“It should be relatively easy to find him!”
Zhou Jixian nodded and responded.
“Yo! This kid has done well!”
“He actually became a thirteenth term cadet of the Whampoa Military Academy! Hey! When there’s time, I need to have a test with him!”
Upon hearing that his Third Brother Liu Zhihui had actually become a thirteenth term cadet of the Whampoa Military Academy,
Zhou Weiguo couldn’t help but show a delighted expression, rubbing his hands a bit, wanting to test how Brother Liu Zhihui had been learning at the Whampoa Military Academy.
Thus, Zhou Jixian soon
picked up the telephone in the study and called the Whampoa Military Academy to have someone call Liu Zhihui to answer.
“Dad! Really? Second Brother really came back?”
“Alright! I’ll come back right away today. I’ll take leave to come back!”
“You guys wait for me. It’s been a long time since I had dinner and chatted with Second Brother!”
Upon hearing that Zhou Weiguo had returned,
Liu Zhihui unhesitatingly nodded and agreed, immediately taking leave to go home.
“Alright! I’ll have the kitchen cook the food you two brothers like most!”
“Tonight us three father and sons will have a good dinner party together!”
Zhou Jixian was also infected by Liu Zhihui’s enthusiasm, and his mood became even more joyful as he readily agreed.
Thus, this conversation ended quickly.
Then, Liu Zhihui also excitedly went to find his superior to take leave and go home.
That evening, the three father and sons happily had a dinner party and chatted together.
The long-absent family joy also appeared in Zhou Weiguo’s home.
