Chapter 380
In the choice between the two, Xiao Yi chose the back, so he had to make some sacrifices. He raised his head and glanced at the sky, Xiao Yi said with a smile.
"Grandpa, you can't say that. According to your body, at least you should live to less than a hundred, and you should live to ninety-nine."
"You kid, don't make fun of your grandpa. We haven't had a good talk for a long time. How about you accompany your grandpa for a while today?"
Xiao Shan's tone was full of pleading, even if he didn't ask for it, Xiao Yi would agree to his grandfather, and he and his grandson would talk to each other.
"Okay! Today I won't be busy with the vegetable field. I will sit down and have a chat with you, Grandpa."
In the quiet small courtyard, Xiao Yi supported his grandfather, walked to the shade of the trees in the courtyard, moved two chairs, and the two sat down facing each other. Xiao Yi felt that today's grandfather had such a strange smell.
It was normal for the grandfather and grandson to talk for a while. What was wrong? After careful observation, Xiao Yi found that it was the change in the eyes of the grandfather.
From the eyes of his grandfather before, what Xiao Yi saw was the word "cautious". No matter what Xiao Yi did, Xiao Shan would ask about it in advance and instruct Xiao Yi carefully.
Now grandpa has changed, and he is no longer what he was before. It seems that he has no worries about what Xiao Yi did before, and he has a little more trust in what Xiao Yi did.
"Grandpa used to worry about you all the time. More than 20 years ago, I brought you to this village alone. Since then, the only wish in my heart is that you can grow up safely. It’s okay to be mediocre for a lifetime.”
"Six years ago, you decided to join the army privately. At that time, I opposed your going to the army. But you, when I found out, you had already boarded the train. Even if I wanted to stop it, it was already too late."
"It's been six years since you entered the army. During the six years, your grandfather and I have been thinking about when you will come back from the army. Grandpa asks for nothing but you to go home whole. That is my greatest wish."
Xiao Shan talked a lot today, and he became sentimental. Xiao Yi didn't answer the conversation, but just stood beside his grandfather, quietly listening to what he had to say.
Then Xiao Shan turned his head and looked at Xiao Yi, even now, Xiao Shan still didn't know whether what he insisted on at the beginning was right or wrong, and what the master's last look at that time meant.
"Six years, for six years, Xiaoya and I will stand at the intersection of the village every month to see if there is any sign of you among the passing cars, twelve months a year, for a whole Seventy-two days, Grandpa believes that you will definitely come back."
"Now my wish at the beginning has finally come true. You came back from the army. Although your grandfather is old, your eyes are still sharp. From the moment you entered the house, I knew that sooner or later you would one day not follow the law. Live the way I envisioned."
Xiao Yi held his grandfather's hand. This old man who had no blood relationship with him was Xiao Yi's only relative in this world. Without Xiao Shan, Xiao Yi knew that he would not have survived until now.
When he was young, he was ignorant, although he didn't know his real life experience, but his grandfather's family affection for him surpassed blood relationship, Xiao Yi remembered it clearly in his heart.
"Grandpa, Xiao Yi has let you down. I can't just go on like this. There are still many things waiting for me. When I get everything done, I will do nothing and stay with you at home. You and Xiao Ya."
Xiao Yiyu said earnestly, Xiao Shan looked at Xiao Yi with old eyes, maybe he was really old, or maybe he didn't understand Xiao Yi, after so many years, there were many things that happened that he didn't know.
"Xiao Yi, you can tell the truth to grandpa, did you get into trouble in the army, and that's why you chose to come home?"
Xiao Shan thought about it carefully, and thought of an unreliable possibility, so he asked Xiao Yi. In his heart, there was no other possibility.
"Grandpa, you think too much. I know how to do things, and I never get into trouble. You also know this, Grandpa."
"It seems that I was thinking too much. You have always been an obedient and good boy, so you can tell grandpa why you came back from the army."
Xiao Yi raised his head and glanced into the distance. When his grandfather asked this question, Xiao Yi had already thought of the answer in his heart, and he always wanted to tell his grandfather. Every time it came to the end, Xiao Yi held back.
No matter how difficult the situation is, you must keep your own affairs secret. If it is leaked out, the family members will be in danger. Xiao Yi does not want to involve his family members.
"Grandpa, don't ask too many questions. In short, I will work hard to let our family live a good life, so that Grandpa and Xiao Ya will be safe for the rest of their lives."
"Hey... It seems that I am really old. Xiao Yi, you have grown up now. Maybe I was wrong. From now on, just let go and do what you want. As long as it is correct, grandpa will not Stop you."
In Xiao Shan's heart, there was always a big rock pressing down on him. When he finished saying this, the big rock in his heart instantly collapsed and turned into rubble.
No matter what the master's wish was at the beginning, Xiao Shan has already figured it out in his heart, the master is the master, Xiao Yi is Xiao Yi, everyone has different ways of living, and he has no right to stop Xiao Yi from making a choice.
The grandfather and grandson talked for a long time. Xiao Shan had never talked with Xiao Yi like this since he got home. The two of them talked until after four o'clock in the afternoon, when Li Xiaojia came back from a meeting in the county seat.
After returning from the meeting, Li Xiaojia immediately came to look for Xiao Yi. Now Xiao Yi has become the focus of attention in Beitang County. More and more people are paying attention to the small village of Anning Bay.
"It seems that I came at a very good time. I finally saw you. Did you disappear a few days ago? Or did you take money and plan to run away?"
Seeing Xiao Yi's return, Li Xiaojia's empty heart in the past few days seemed to have found a place at once. Xiao Yi was not around these few days, and even eating was tasteless.
Every night after dinner, when he was lying on the bed, his mind was full of Xiao Yi's figure, even when he closed his eyes and opened his eyes, he walked into Xiao Yi's house with a bag in his hand.
"It's been a long time, Village Chief Li. What do you mean you miss me? It's too stupid to flee with money. According to my thinking, I will definitely bring you with me. Your father will have no choice but to have a few children in a few years." You can only recognize me as a son-in-law."
Xiao Yi stood up from his chair and said, it's still a familiar formula, or a familiar taste, no matter what the situation is, Xiao Yi has the ability to make you fly into a rage every minute.
