Inside the door, the old lady with snow-white hair fell silent when she heard the name.

His eyes moved upward, and he was a little trance-like, as if he was caught in a memory.

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

“...... You come in first. ”

As she spoke, the old lady let go of her grip on the doorknob and stepped aside.

Glancing at the old lady, Lian Ge moved his steps and stepped into the house.

......

"You sit down first, and I'll pour you a glass of water. ”

"No hassle. ”

"Want, want...... Right away. ”

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

After Lian Ge glanced at the female ghost who also came in, he turned his gaze and looked inside the house.

The house is not very large, and the furnishings are a little old, but just like the old lady herself, it is neatly tidy.

......

After walking to the water dispenser and taking out two stacked disposable paper cups from under the water dispenser, the old lady paused again, a little distracted,

After being silent for a while, he came back to his senses, and 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, have a glass of water. ”

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

Glancing at the unclosed water dispenser door behind the old lady, Lian Ge retracted his gaze, stretched out his hands to take it, thanked him, and put the water cup on the coffee table in front of him.

The old lady watched Lian Ge take the water glass, then hesitated, and after not seeming to find anything else to do, she sat down on another sofa beside Lian Ge.

"The name Huo Siguo...... It's been a long time since I've heard it, it's been a long time...... Are you his junior?" looked at Lian Ge, and after a moment of silence, the old lady asked out loud.

"It's not. Lian Ge looked at the old lady and shook his head.

When the old lady heard this, she nodded silently, and did not continue to ask.

But after being silent, he looked at Lian Ge, opened his mouth, and stopped talking a little,

“...... How is he now?"

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

"Not too good. ”

“...... Also, we are both so old, he should be ninety-two, and I am eighty-nine, and in the past two years, I have also been an old problem......"

As she spoke, the old lady fell silent again.

Lian Ge glanced at the old lady, and was not in a hurry, waiting,

Inside, there was a sudden silence.

......

"Click......"

At this moment, the sound of rustling came from outside the living room door, and it seemed that someone was opening the door with a key.

Then, the door opened, and a woman about thirty years old with a satchel walked through the door.

“...... Grandma, there should be no milk in the refrigerator, I bought you another box to come back......"

As she spoke, the woman put the satchel in her hand and the milk in her other hand on the cabinet, bent over, and changed her shoes at the door.

“...... This is ......"

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 to it. ”

The old lady had already gotten up again from the couch,

"This is my eldest granddaughter...... This is ...... A friend of mine from an old friend, something came to me. ”

"Then grandma, let's talk, I'll go into the house first. ”

The woman nodded, carried 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 went, my eldest granddaughter felt sorry for me and didn't worry about me living alone, so she moved in and lived with me. ”

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

When Lian Ge heard this, he glanced at the old lady, turned his gaze, and looked at the photo frame placed in the narration of the TV cabinet.

In the frame, there is a group photo of the old lady's family, the old lady and another old man are standing in the front row, and the people behind them are the children and grandchildren of the old lady, and in the photo, the old lady has a ruddy smile on her face.

“...... As for him, his children and grandchildren should be not small, and he must have great-grandchildren, right?"

The old lady looked at Lian Ge, paused, and then asked out loud,

Turning his gaze back and looking at the old lady again, Lian Ge shook his head slightly,

“...... Mr. Huo is not married. ”

Hearing this, the old lady paused and fell silent,

"And he...... Where are you now?"

"It's in the car city. Looking at the old lady, Lian Ge said calmly, "Old lady, do you want to meet him?"

Hearing this, the old lady fell silent again,

Raising her head slightly, the old lady's cloudy gaze looked at the front, a little trance, a little distracted,

“...... 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 back from him......

Returning from Silla, I went to the place where he used to live, but there was no one there...... On the way out, I agreed on a place with him, and I went there again to wait for him, but I didn't wait......

I asked someone to inquire, and the inquirer said that his troops had already withdrawn to the country...... But he didn't come back...... He also said that his unit, at the end of the war, was hit hard and returned to China...... Seldom...... At first, I didn't want to believe it, I went to the agreed place every day to wait for him, I thought he would come back, and as soon as he came back, he would definitely come here. ”

"Mr. Huo was seriously wounded at the end of the war, and he has been recuperating from his wounds in Silla, and only after his injuries have healed did he withdraw to China with other troops. Lian Ge glanced at the old lady and said loudly.

When the old lady heard this, she fell silent again,

“...... Later, my family moved, and I still waited there every day...... Every day, from day to night, I just waited day by day, and time passed slowly day by day...... Slowly, I started to die.

I don't think he's going to come back, like the people I saw when I was in the field hospital......"

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

“...... Later, after being introduced, my current wife and I got married, and although we had a stumbling life, we lived like that......"

After a pause, the old lady continued,

"Ever since I got married, I've been afraid to go there...... Even if something passes by, get around it. After that, we moved to this side of the city......"

As she spoke, the old lady fell silent again and did not speak again.

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

"Do you still want to meet him, old lady?"

Hearing this, the old lady was silent, looking at the front with a cloudy gaze, and was distracted,

“...... Let's meet, let's meet. ”

After a long time, the old lady turned her gaze and muttered in a low voice, repeating the sentence,

Holding her legs, the old lady stood up again,

“...... Wait a minute, I'll change my clothes......"

As she spoke, the old lady turned around and walked towards the bedroom, but after only two steps, the old lady paused again and shook her head.

“...... Forget it, just go for it. ”

“...... Xiaoqin, I'll go out. In the direction of the bedroom, the old lady shouted,

As soon as the words 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 the woman appeared behind the door,

"No, go see a ...... Friends. The old lady shook her head, turned around again, and looked at Lian Ge, "Little sir, let's go." ”

Hearing this, Lian Ge stood up again, looked at the female ghost on the side, and then at the old lady, moved away, and walked towards the house.

The female ghost was poor, and the old lady also followed.
