Chapter 1682 Mother of the Motherland - the way home from a dream (32)

   He said: Ergou, don't leave in the future, Dad will tell you about your daughter-in-law.

   He said: Son, Dad has missed you all these years...

  Li Ergou looked at the gray hair of the old man beside him, and his brows were slightly wrinkled even when he was asleep, and a tear fell from the corner of his eyes.

   This night, Li Ergou didn't sleep, and he didn't need to sleep either.

  It was also that night that he realized that his father's sleep was very shallow. He would wake up if he moved a little, and his eyes fell on Li Ergou for the first time, and asked, "Ergou, don't go."

   It wasn't until Li Ergou comforted him for a while, until he was sure that his son was still by his side, that the old man fell asleep again.

  In the morning, as dawn broke, Li Ergou got up, and he planned to cook breakfast for his father.

   It was just before the breakfast was finished that I heard a voice from the main room.

   He saw that the old man was well dressed and was about to go out.

   "Dad, where are you going?"

  The old man didn't seem to hear his voice and continued to walk out.

  Li Ergou put down the porridge in his hand, strode up in front of him, and stopped him: "Dad, where are you going? Let's go after breakfast."

  The old man glanced at him and said angrily: "You little girl, why are you blocking people's front. I want to go out, so don't get in the way."

  Li Ergou always felt that his father's state was not quite right.

   "Father, where are you going?"

  The old man became unhappy when he heard Li Ergou calling his father: "What's the matter with your baby, how can you call someone's father casually. My baby is Ergou. I'm going to the village entrance now and wait for my Ergou to come back."

  Li Ergou immediately stiffened in place, and did not respond for a long time.

  Daddy, Daddy doesn't remember him anymore.

  The old man pushed Li Ergou away and walked outside.

  Li Ergou took a while to react and followed behind him.

   He kept saying: "Dad, I'm a second dog, I'm here, I'm back."

   "Father, how about we go back, my son made breakfast."

   "Father..."

   No matter what Li Ergou said, the old man was reluctant to go back, and stubbornly wanted to go to the village and wait for his son to come back.

At the entrance of the village, the three characters of Kengshui Village are clearly visible on the boundary monument. The old man is standing aside, constantly looking forward, watching from a distance, and waiting. There is no trace of impatience on his face. Whenever there is movement in front of him, he can't wait to look up Look, it's just that his eyes are a little flowery, and sometimes he can't see clearly, he has to wait for a while before he can recognize that the person in front of him is not the person he was waiting for.

  The old man's face inevitably showed loneliness.

  Li Ergou didn't call him back this time, he just stood there and quietly accompanied him.

   He was wondering if, in the years after he joined the army, did Dad wait like this day after day...

  Yin Yin appeared beside Li Ergou, raised his hand and waved, time went back, the time in front of him flew by, and what happened was like a picture passing by frame by frame.

   In retrospect, the end soon came to an end.

  The old man was lying on the bed, looking thinner and thinner, but his spirits were very good. There was a circle of people around him, all the villagers of Kenshui Village. They came here specially when they learned that the old man was dying.

The old man who had been confused for a long time regained his clarity, and he said: "The head of the regiment said that my second dog sacrificed for the country. Although I regret not being able to see him again, my second dog is a hero and my pride. what."

   said, the old man slowly closed his eyes, the corner of his lips was a serene smile.

   "Father..." Going back in time, Li Ergou cried bitterly.

After a long time, he looked at Yin Yin and said, "I, can I ask you one more thing?"

   Yin Yin: "You said."

   "I want to continue to be my father's son in my next life."

   Yin Yin: "As you wish."

   His wish was granted, Li Ergou wiped away the tears from his eyes and smiled.
