I really don't want to be a teacher

Stamping his feet again, Lian Ge knocked on the door of the family on the left side of the third floor. On the security door, next to the door, last year's blessing and Spring Festival couplets were pasted.

"...Who is it? Come on, come on... wait a minute."

An old lady's voice sounded from behind the door, followed by footsteps from far to near,

Immediately afterwards, the door was pushed open from the inside,

An old lady with snow-white hair but neatly combed, with loose skin on her face but still quite energetic appeared behind the door.

"you are?"

Looking at Lian Ge outside the door, the old lady was a little puzzled and asked politely,

"...Old lady, there is an old gentleman who wants to see you, I wonder if you can go and see him?"

Looking at the old lady, Lian Ge smiled slightly and asked calmly,

"Want to see me?" The old lady's eyes became more puzzled, she held the doorknob and looked at Lian Ge.

"Huo Siguo."

Lian Ge looked at the old lady and revealed the name.

Chapter 251 The Old Lady

Inside the door, the white-haired old lady fell silent after hearing the name.

His eyes moved up, and he was in a trance, as if he had fallen into a memory.

After a long time, the old lady withdrew her gaze and looked at Lian Ge again.

"...you come in first."

Talking, the old lady let go of the hand holding the doorknob, moved sideways,

Glancing at the old lady, Lian Ge stepped into the room with a shuffling footsteps.

……

"Sit down first, I'll pour you a glass of water."

"Do not bother."

"I want it, I want it... right away."

After the old lady led Lian Ge to sit down in the living room, she turned around and walked to the kitchen to get busy.

After Lian Ge glanced at the female ghost messenger who also followed in, he turned his gaze to look inside the room.

The room is not very big, and the furnishings are a bit outdated, but just like the old lady herself, it is very tidy.

……

Walking to the water dispenser, after taking out two stacked disposable paper cups from under the water dispenser, the old lady paused again, a little dazed,

After being silent for a while, I came back to my senses. I hurriedly took some dried lemon slices from under the water dispenser, added some rock sugar, poured a cup of hot water, and walked back with it.

"...Come on, have a glass of water."

The old lady showed a smile on her face, and handed the water to Lian Ge,

Glancing at the open water dispenser door behind the old lady, Lian Ge looked away, took it with both hands, thanked him, and put the water cup on the coffee table in front of him.

After watching Lian Ge take the water glass, the old lady hesitated for a while, as if she couldn't find anything else to do, she sat down on another sofa beside Lian Ge.

"The name Huo Siguo... I haven't heard it for a long time, it's been a long time... Are you his junior?" Looking at Lian Ge, the old lady was silent for a while, and then asked aloud.

"No." Lian Ge looked at the old lady and shook his head.

The old lady nodded silently when she heard the words, and did not continue to ask questions.

Instead, after being silent, he looked at Lian Ge, opened his mouth, hesitant to speak,

"...how is he now?"

Hearing this, Lian Ge glanced at the old lady, shook his head slightly,

"not too good."

"...That's right, we are both so old, he should be 92, and I am 89. In the past two years, I have been suffering from old problems..."

As she spoke, the old lady gradually fell silent again.

Lian Ge glanced at the old lady, not in a hurry, but waited,

In the room, it suddenly fell silent.

……

"Crack..."

At this moment, a rustling sound came from outside the living room door, as if someone was opening the door with a key.

Immediately afterwards, the door opened, and a woman of about 30 years old came out of the door carrying a satchel.

"...Grandma, there should be no more milk in the refrigerator, I bought you another box..."

While talking, the woman put the satchel in her hand and the milk in the other hand on the cabinet, bent over, and changed her shoes at the door,

"……Who is this……"

Raising her head again, the woman who had changed her shoes noticed Lian Ge in the living room, and was a little puzzled.

"... Let me introduce you."

The old lady has stood up again from the sofa,

"This is my eldest granddaughter... This is... a friend of an old friend of mine. He came to me with something."

"Then grandma, you can talk, I will enter the house first."

The woman nodded, carrying her satchel, and walked into the room.

……

"...The children are all out of town, and only the eldest granddaughter works in Checheng. A few years ago, after my wife left, the eldest granddaughter felt sorry for me and worried that I would live alone, so she moved here and lived with me."

The old lady watched her granddaughter walk into the bedroom, turned her head back, with a smile on her face,

Lian Ge heard the words, and after glancing at the old lady, he turned his gaze and looked at the photo frame beside the TV cabinet.

In the photo frame is a group photo of the old lady's family. The old lady and another old man are standing in the front row, surrounded by the old lady's descendants. In the photo, the old lady has a ruddy smile on her face.

"... As for him, his children and grandchildren should not be too young. After all, he should have great-grandchildren, right?"

The old lady looked at Lian Ge, paused, and asked,

Turning his gaze back to the old lady again, Lian Ge shook his head slightly,

"... Mr. Huo is not married."

Hearing the sound, the old lady paused and fell silent.

"Then... where is he now?"

"It's in Checheng." Looking at the old lady, Lian Ge said calmly, "Do you want to meet him, old lady?"

Hearing this, the old lady fell silent again,

Raising her head slightly, the old lady looked at the front side with cloudy eyes, a little dazed, a little dazed,

"... That year, when I was in Silla, after receiving the last letter from him, I wrote him a reply, but after that letter, I never heard from him again ...

When I came back from Silla, I went to the place where he used to live, but there was no one there... When I was going out, I made an appointment with him, and I went there to wait for him, but I didn't wait...

I asked someone to inquire, and the person who inquired said that his troops had already withdrawn to the country... But he didn't come back... He also said that his troops were severely injured at the end of the war, and those who returned... very few Little... At the beginning, I didn't want to believe it. I waited for him at the agreed place every day. I thought he would come back. As long as he came back, he would definitely come here. "

"Mr. Huo was seriously injured at the end of the war and has been recuperating in Silla. After he recovered from his injury, he withdrew to the country with other troops." Lian Ge glanced at the old lady and said aloud.

Upon hearing this, the old lady fell into silence again,

"...Later, my family moved, and I still waited there every day... From day to night, I just waited every day, and the time passed slowly... Slowly, I began to give up .

I don't think he's coming back, like the guys I saw when I was in the field hospital..."

The old lady looked at the front side, recalled, and said,

"...Later, through someone's introduction, I got married to my current wife. Although life was bumpy, it was just like that..."

After a pause, the old lady continued,

"After I got married, I started to be afraid of going there... Even if something happened to pass by there, I had to avoid it. Later, we moved to this side of the city..."

After speaking, the old lady fell silent again and did not speak again.

Lian Ge glanced at the old lady, turned his gaze away, looked at the photo next to the TV cabinet, and asked again in a calm tone,

"The old lady, do you still want to see him?"

Hearing this, the old lady was silent, looking at the front side with muddy eyes, lost in thought,

"...Go and see, let's go and see."

After a long time, the old lady turned her gaze away, murmured in a low voice, and repeated,

Supporting her legs, the old lady stood up again,

"...wait a moment, I'm going to change clothes..."

Saying that, the old lady was about to turn around and walk towards the bedroom, but she only moved two steps, and the old lady paused again, shaking her head,

"...Forget it, let's go like this."

"...Xiaoqin, I'll go out for a while." The old lady called out towards the bedroom.

After the voice fell, there was a sound of footsteps in the bedroom.

"Grandma, where are you going so late, why don't I go with you." The bedroom door opened, and a woman appeared behind the door,

"No need, go see an old friend." The old lady shook her head, then turned around and looked at Lian Ge, "Xiao Mister, let's go."

Hearing this, Lian Ge stood up again, glanced at the female ghost officer next to him, and then at the old lady, then moved away and walked out of the house.

The female ghost messenger and the old lady also followed.

Chapter 252 Here, This Is Your Home

Taking a taxi, Lian Ge and the old lady approached the place where Mr. Huo lived,

All the way, the old lady was silent, looking out of the car window in a daze, as if lost in memory,

After Lian Ge glanced at the old lady, he didn't say much.

Inside the car, it's quiet.

……

"...Is this the former Caishikou?"

The taxi passed by the street in front of the square. The traffic jam slowed down the taxi. The old lady looked out the window and fell silent for a while, as if she was asking Lian Ge or herself,

"...After that, has he been here again?"

"When I met him, he was sitting on the side of this street." Lian Ge replied calmly without looking back,

Hearing this, the old lady fell silent again and didn't speak anymore.

The congested vehicles on the road gradually dispersed, and the taxi speeded up.

……

Not far from the square, at the gate of Checheng Sanatorium,

Lian Ge and the old lady got out of the car again.

The front door of the sanatorium remains open and the lights inside are on,

Looking at the door of the nursing home, the old lady hesitated, and after a pause, she moved and walked towards the door of the nursing home.

Lian Ge glanced at the old lady, then at the female ghost officer beside him, and then walked towards the nursing home.
