Stand-in Raiders

It was already three days later when the people from Tong's family came to the door, and Xiao Guofu just adjusted his work and rest time, and just regained his spirits.

"The wealth of the country is so big and mature." The master of the Tong family looked at him and praised him, "It's getting more and more handsome."

The old man of the Tong family and the old man of the Xiao family were sitting in the front seats, and they had already talked for a while before someone called Xiao Guofu to the front hall to meet them.

"Uncle Tong." Xiao Guofu slightly greeted the master of the Tong family, and then returned to the position below.

"Well, good boy." Tong Xi responded, and put the teacup on the table, "Isn't it a great trip to Beisu this time?"

Since Tong Xi asked this question, Xiao Guofu naturally said all those things in detail.This person is the future father-in-law, so naturally he should be respected.

After listening to Xiao Guofu's words, Tong Xi kept nodding, agreeing with some parts and kept nodding, saying "good" and "good".

After talking like this for a long time, Tong Xi got up to leave, and the three members of the Xiao family also went to the side hall for dinner.

"Dad, is the matter between our family and Tong's family settled like this?" Taking advantage of the old man's good mood, Xiao Zhiyuan asked this question, "If it works, it will be a good day at the beginning of next month. Let's go to Tong's house to settle the matter, or Hurry up and bring him back, after all, it was Xiao Guofu who delayed the girl."

"If it wasn't for her, how could Xiao Guofu have been away for so many years?" The old man was in a good mood today and didn't say anything. "Since you all think it's good, let's mention it every two days."

The two families exchanged Geng Tie at the beginning, if they regret the marriage, it would have a great impact on Xiao Guofu.

With the old man's words, Xiao Zhiyuan also knew what to do.

Just like that, when Xiao Guofu returned to City A for only three months, Tong Ruomei, the eldest daughter of the Tong family, was married into the Xiao family by eight palanquins.

But after a few years of stable and good days, some bad news began to spread slowly.

The wind direction that started to change from the distant imperial capital quickly blew to the north and south of the river, making all the big trees and grasses messy, and countless broken as a result.

The Xiao family also bore the brunt of this catastrophe.

At this time, it was only five years since Tong Ruomei entered the house.

In the past five years, the two of them had a honeymoon at the beginning, and later they treated each other like guests, which was harmonious and beautiful, but since the life of the two families became more and more difficult, they also began to quarrel.

Tong Ruomei gave birth to three sons for the Xiao family. One daughter died in an accident in her womb, and her health became worse and worse. The eldest son was just five years old, the second son was four years old, and the youngest son was only two years old.

"Why is this happening? Things are not going well in Beisu, and City A is almost occupied by the Red Guards!" Another day, Xiao Guofu complained at home when everything was going wrong, and Tong Ruomei played with his children. , Xiao Zhiyuan was still busy outside and hadn't come home yet.

This kind of day when you have to dodge even when you go out, don't know when it will be a head?

The old man is already sick, but now there is no doctor at all, even if there is, he is not willing to go in and out of places like Xiao's house at this time, for fear of being followed.

Even the medicine he is taking now was secretly put by the back door by a kind-hearted old doctor, which made the old man drag it until now.

"Take a break. No matter how hard life is, there will always be a day in the past. We just need to live well." Tong Ruomei is an open-minded woman. Even if these things happen, she still smiles every day, watching With this smile, Xiao Guofu also calmed down.

"Yeah. I'll go to the back to see grandpa, you take good care of the children here." Xiao Guofu went over and hugged his wife, and touched the heads of the two sons, "You stay here with mother well, okay?"

"Okay!" The two children stared wide-eyed, nodded and said yes to Xiao Guofu, they looked very sensible like that.

In the main room, the old man was lying on the bed, his whole body was already so thin that his eyes were dull and cloudy. He only moved when Xiao Guofu passed by. He was completely dead before.

"Grandpa, how are you feeling today?" Xiao Guofu stepped forward to hold the old man's hand, "I'll make some medicine for you later, and you'll get better after drinking the medicine."

The old man didn't speak, and there was a "ho ho" sound in his throat, and he was already speechless.

Seeing the old man like this, Xiao Guofu felt uncomfortable.

"Grandpa, don't worry. You still have to watch your great-grandson grow up, get married and have children. How could you leave now?"

The old man shook his head, opened his mouth hard and said a few words, which were not very clear, but Xiao Guofu could still understand the meaning.

Yes, live on.

The old man wants to let Xiao Guofu live on his own. Although the old man knows something good at this time, his son and grandson are getting busier, and life at home is getting worse day by day. He is just sick, not deaf or blind. Don't understand these things?

These few words seemed to have used up all the strength the old man had accumulated during the day, and he closed his eyes immediately after speaking, not knowing whether he fell asleep or passed out.

Xiao Guofu opened the window and closed it after counting a few balls in his heart. Although he had to take a breath, the old man couldn't catch the cold, and the time for ventilation was strictly controlled every day.

When the time came, Xiao Guofu went out and the kitchen started to cook medicine for the old man. Since the days began to get more and more difficult, their family was originally served by others, and they began to learn to cook slowly, just like now, he is skillfully using a piece of A towel with no primary color was placed on the handle of the medicine pot, and slowly poured out the boiled medicine into a bowl on the side.

The dinner tonight was cooked by Tong Ruomei, it was not as good as the cook I had hired before, but it could be eaten anyway, and it wouldn't be burnt to black.

"You two eat first, and I'll deliver food to your grandpa." Xiao Zhiyuan picked two chopsticks from one dish, brought a small bowl of rice, and said to Xiao Guofu and Tong Ruomei, "Leave some for me later. All right, I'll come out and do the dishes."

Xiao Guofu watched his father leave with a tray, and gave each of his wife and sons sitting next to him a chopsticks dish, "Eat them all, and I will go back to sleep later."

After the two of them ate a few mouthfuls, Xiao Zhiyuan came out with a livid face, "Xiao Guofu, pack your things immediately, you and Tong Ruomei will leave tomorrow, take the children, someone will pick you up early tomorrow morning, remember to bring money, You leave City A immediately."

"What happened?" Xiao Guofu looked at his father's sudden change of expression, a little confused, "Why did you suddenly say you were going to leave?"

"I'll tell you about this later, Ruomei, take the child to pack up." Xiao Zhiyuan pushed Tong Ruomei away, and then lowered his voice and said to Xiao Guofu, "Something happened to the Tong family."

When he just went in to feed the old man, Xiao Zhiyuan talked about what happened outside today. The Tong family was smashed, and even the old and weak women in the family were injured. Now the whole family is hiding in a In the side room, it is impossible to squeeze.

But for some reason, the old man lying on the bed struggled fiercely, shouting one word incessantly.

"run--"

"run--"

"run--"

I don't know if it's because of the tacit understanding between father and son, but Xiao Zhiyuan suddenly seemed to be enlightened, "You mean let us get out of here?"

However, the population is counted at this time, even if they run away, it is not easy to find them back?

"Run..." The old man pushed Xiao Zhiyuan's hand, shook his head, his eyes widened, and his facial expression became ferocious.

"Dad, don't get excited! I'll make arrangements right away, and Guofu will definitely leave safely." Xiao Zhiyuan put the tray in his hand on the ground, "I'll come and see you later."

"How is grandpa?" Xiao Guofu heard Xiao Zhiyuan's words, and immediately thought of the old man who had always loved him.

"Go in, and look at your grandfather, you left City A tomorrow, and you don't know when you will be back." Xiao Zhiyuan walked in front, Xiao Guofu followed, and entered the room where the old man was.

The old man was still lying on the bed with his eyes closed, maintaining a posture without moving.

"Dad, Guofu came to see you. He will leave tomorrow, so take a good look." Xiao Zhiyuan was now on the bedside, calling softly, "Dad."

"Grandpa, are you okay?" Xiao Guofu also stepped forward and called the old man, but unfortunately the old man never moved.

"Dad?" Xiao Zhiyuan increased his voice, a little unimaginable.

No way……

Xiao Guofu stretched out his hand to check the old man's breath...

Gone?

"Dad, grandpa..." Xiao Guofu turned pale, took two steps back, and looked at Xiao Zhiyuan in disbelief.

"You go out first." Xiao Zhiyuan drove Xiao Guofu out, and then closed the door.

Xiao Zhiyuan sat down by the bed, "Dad, how could you..."

Xiao Zhiyuan still didn't believe that the old man left just like that.

He is the second son of the old man, but the eldest son did not stand upright when he was born, and he also enjoyed all the money recharged by a father. Later, he got married and had a son, and his wife left after a few years. After that, the old father accompanied him all the time. for so many years.

The two father and son depended on each other for most of their lives.

"Dad, I will give you a good burial." Xiao Zhiyuan touched his face, then stood up and walked out.

This night, many people did not fall asleep.
