The next day, before it became bright, Jiang Li and Luo Yanqing came to the courtyard and knocked on the door knocker continuously. They didn't wait for Lao Xiaotou's voice for a long time. Without thinking about it, Jiang Li directly pushed the courtyard door. Unexpectedly, the courtyard door didn't open at all. It's not closed, it's just closed together, and it seems like the door bolt is inserted from the inside.
"Grandpa Xiao!"
After entering the courtyard with Luo Yanqing, Jiang Li called out to Lao Xiaotou, but still didn't hear the old man's response.
"You go and take a look at Grandma Yu's house. I'll go and take a look at Grandpa Xiao's house. Maybe Grandpa Xiao hasn't gotten up yet." Luo Yanqing looked at the wing where old Xiao's head lived and said softly to Jiang Li.
Jiang Li nodded: "Okay."
Unexpectedly, before she entered the main room where the old lady lived, Luo Yanqing's voice came over: "Xiao Li... come here!"
Hearing something was wrong in Luo Yanqing's voice, Jiang Li suddenly felt uncomfortable. She knew that the bad premonition she had last night had now become a reality.
Holding back tears, Jiang Li turned around and went to the wing where Lao Xiaotou lived. She saw Luo Yanqing holding two letters in her hands, but she did not rush to read the contents of the letters, but read them. His eyes moved to the bed.
I saw Lao Xiao's head with his eyes closed, his hands clasped and placed lightly on his abdomen... His face was neat and tidy, his silver hair was meticulously combed, and his clothes and shoes were brand new. From this, it is not difficult to see that the old man was well prepared for everything. , lay on the bed and breathed his last.
She knew...she knew that the old man did this just because he didn't want to cause trouble to others. For a moment, the tears couldn't be controlled anymore, pouring out of the corners of his eyes and falling down his face.
"Since this is what Grandpa Xiao wants, we should wish him and Grandma Yu to reunite in another world and continue to stay together."
Luo Yanqing's eyes were a little red. He comforted Jiang Li softly, and at the same time handed a letter signed by Jiang Li to his little girl: "This letter is for you. Open it and read the other one. Send it to the recipient now."
Looking at the recipient's unit, name, surname, and address on the letter left on his hand, Luo Yanqing added, "It's a comrade from the government. I'll be back soon."
"Um."
Jiang Li nodded lightly. After Luo Yanqing left, she glanced at Lao Xiaotou's remains again, and then read the letter the old man left for her.
The content is less than three pieces of paper. It is the same as the letter that Mrs. Yu left for Jiang Li. It is written in an old-style format and is also written in calligraphy. However, Lao Xiaotou uses neat regular script.
After reading the letter, Jiang Li felt sour in her heart. She saw in the letter Lao Xiaotou's feelings for the old lady. She had been attracted to the old lady when she was young, but because of her status and the difference in dignity, she...
I can only bury my love deep in my heart and silently guard the woman I admire... Later, things changed. Although Mrs. Yu's husband went abroad with other family members,
They were separated from Mrs. Yu, and their relationship as husband and wife had long existed in name only. However, Mrs. Yu was influenced by traditional thinking. Even though she had only been burdened with the title of Jiang's wife for many years, even though she later had Lao Xiaotou in her heart. this person,
However, Mrs. Jiang's status was so deep-rooted that she and Lao Xiaotou had always lived in this courtyard as cousins over the years.
Fortunately, the old lady was able to speak for a while before the Spring Festival, and she expressed her true feelings to Lao Xiaotou, promising that if there was a next life, she would be an ordinary couple with him, and live up to Lao Xiaotou's deep love for her.
In order to prevent Lao Xiaotou from following her closely after she left, Mrs. Yu specifically asked Lao Xiaotou to help her take care of the relative she cared about and was worried about, namely Jiang Li.
