"My father was still a child at that time, and he just obediently helped the old man into the house, but he didn't know that it was this old man who changed his life, and even the fate of his descendants."

Grandpa Li's old voice slowly recounted that period of history in the quiet study, changing the history of the Li family.

"When the old man wakes up..."

…………

"Old man, are you awake? How do you feel? Is there any discomfort?"

Seeing that the old man woke up, the young man was relieved and at the same time asked worriedly.

"It's all right, the old man just hasn't eaten for several days, he's just a little weak, it's all right"

The old man waved his hand and said indifferently, as if he didn't take his fainting matter to heart.

"Son, do you have anything to say about what I just told you?"

The old man fixed his eyes on the young man, and the brightest thing on his skinny face was his pair of wise eyes. From those eyes, the young man saw hope.

"What are you talking about about the prosperity of the Li family?" The young man was not overjoyed by the old man's words, but pondered for a while before speaking.

"Go, call in the children playing in the yard, he must know about this."

Appreciation and a smile flashed in the eyes of the old man, but only faintly, the young man did not see it.

The old man didn't say why, but just asked the young man to call the people in the yard.

The young man hesitated, and finally felt that he was making a fuss over a molehill. Even if the old man had some purpose, what could happen if he was right next to him?

"Ah Fu, come in, I need you." The young man waved to the child who was chasing the chicken in the yard, and said in a loving voice.

When the child heard the man's words, he ran over and threw himself into the man's arms.

"Dad, what do you want from me?"

The soft and crisp sound is unique and crisp for some children.

"It's Grandpa who wants to tell Ah Fu, Ah Fu should listen obediently."

The voice of the man coaxing the child gradually approached, and the old man smiled and looked at the approaching father and son.

"Son, come to Grandpa." The old man stretched out his hand and hugged the boy, which was Ah Fu, with difficulty.

"Grandpa, Dad said you were looking for me" the child asked innocently again.

"Yes, grandpa wants to ask Ah Fu, do you want to live in a big house in the future? There are many people in the family?"

The old man's suspiciously coaxing voice was mixed with kindness, and said softly to Ah Fu.

"I think, I really want a big house, so I can live in it with my father and my sister, and my father won't have to work so hard to make money."

The child's immature words expressed the touch of the old man and the young man, and their eye sockets were wet.

The young man's eyes were even redder, and he clenched his teeth tightly so as not to choke up.

"Okay, okay, Ah Fu will have a big house in the future, and my father and sister will live in it too."

The old man said in an old and hoarse voice that there was more love inside.

"Okay, kid, let's go outside and play, grandpa has something to tell your dad"

The old man patted Ah Fu on the back, took off the string of prayer beads in his hand and put it in Ah Fu's hand.

"Kid, hold this, it will bring good luck"

The child had disappeared, but no one spoke. The old man was quietly waiting for the young man's response.

The young man was a little undecided, he knew that there is no such thing as a free lunch in this world, as the old man said, there must be a corresponding price.

It doesn't matter to me, but the child... that's all, how could it be so bad?

It's better than starving to death now, maybe there is still a chance of survival.
