Chapter 1011： Guard for life

The next day, before the sky was bright, Jiang Li and Luo Yanqing arrived at the courtyard and knocked on the door knocker continuously. They didn't hear Lao Xiaotou's voice for a long time. Without thinking about it, Jiang Li directly pushed the courtyard door. Unexpectedly, the courtyard door opened. It's not closed at all, it's just closed together, and it seems like the door bolt is inserted from the inside.

“Grandpa Xiao!”

When he and Luo Yanqing entered the courtyard, Jiang Li called out to Lao Xiaotou, but still didn't hear the old man's response.

“You go and have a look in Grandma Yu’s room. I’ll go to Grandpa Xiao’s room and have a look. Maybe Grandpa Xiao hasn’t gotten up yet.”

Luo Yanqing glanced at the wing where Lao Xiaotou lived, and whispered to Jiang Li.

Jiang Li nodded: "Okay."

Who knows, 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 tightly, his hands clasped on his abdomen... His appearance was neat, his silver hair was combed meticulously, and his clothes and shoes were all 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 could no longer be controlled, 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. You open it and read it. I will give you the other one." Send it to the recipient now.”

Looking at the recipient's unit, name, and address on the letter left in 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 couldn't.

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 are separated from Mrs. Yu, and their relationship as husband and wife has long existed in name only. However, Mrs. Yu is greatly influenced by traditional thinking. Even though she has only been burdened with the title of Jiang's wife for many years, even though she later still has Lao Xiaotou in her heart. this person,

However, Mrs. Jiang's status may be too deep-rooted, so she and Lao Xiaotou have always lived in this courtyard as cousins ​​over the years.

Fortunately, the old lady was still able to speak before the Spring Festival. She expressed her true feelings to Lao Xiaotou and promised 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.

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.
