Soon, the news of Xia Xizhi and Ji Xiuyu's reunion swept in. Some of the people who had asserted when they separated that the two would get back together finally smiled happily.

In the Ji family's ancestral house, Ji Xiuyu and Xia Xizhi appeared anxiously with a small group. When the servant saw them, he hurriedly said, "Go and tell the master that the eldest young master and the young lady are back with the little young master." ”

Ji Xiuyu hurriedly stepped forward, saw that Father Ji and the doctor were in the living room, and asked solemnly, "How is Grandpa's condition?"

The doctor shook his head and said apologetically: "Mr. Ji, we have tried our best, but the old man has no skills to recover from the sky, and now he is just holding on to his last breath." ”

Hearing his words, Ji Xiuyu's fists clenched. Without thinking much about it, Ji Xiuyu immediately turned around and ran quickly upstairs. Seeing this, Xia Xizhi and the others immediately followed.

When Ji Xiuyu pushed the door in, he saw the old man lying on the bed weakly, exhaling heavily. Seeing this, Ji Xiuyu stepped forward and hurriedly took the old man's hand: "Grandpa, grandpa, I'm back." ”

Hearing the voice, the old man slowly opened his eyes. His movements were slow, and even the movement of opening his eyes seemed to be very difficult. Seeing his appearance, Ji Xiuyu's heart was clear. He knew that the old man's limit was approaching.

Looking at him, a loving smile appeared on the old man's face. Holding his hand tightly, he said with difficulty: "Xiuyu, you...... You're back. It's good, it's good. ”

Holding his hand with both hands, Ji Xiuyu's eyes flashed with tears: "Grandpa, you'll be fine." We're going to the hospital right now, okay? I'm sure there are so many good doctors in the world, you're going to live a long life. ”

With a smile on his lips, the old man patted the back of his hand with difficulty: "No...... It's okay, I've lived long enough, I'm content, I don't need to be 100 years old. I have been a failure in my life, and the only thing I am glad about is this...... Excellent grandson, and I can also see my great-grandchildren. My great-grandson, are you here?"

Hearing this, Xiao Tuanzi hurriedly stepped forward. I saw that his face was already full of tears, crying and saying: "Grandpa, you don't want to die, I don't want you to die......"

The old man wiped away his tears in distress and said comfortingly, "Child, don't cry." Grandpa, just live in a different place. There's a lot of ...... there's a lot of place Many old friends of my grandfather can still see you...... You're too grandma. ”

Xiao Tuanzi kept wiping his tears, and said in a choked voice: "Grandpa, you lied to me, the child said, if you die, you won't see it." In that case, I won't be able to see my grandfather again. Don't, don't, grandpa, I like you, don't you want to die, okay?"

Looking at his sensible appearance, the old man had a warm smile on his face. "No, grandpa can still see you, we will definitely meet in the future. Child, in the future, you will be filial and treat your parents well, you know?"

Xiao Tuanzi wiped his tears and nodded affirmatively: "Okay, I will listen to Grandpa's words." ”

Smiling gently, the old man set his eyes on Xia Xizhi's body: "It's a pity, I'll trouble you in the future." He really loves you, you ...... Be sure to love each other. The first half of Xiuyu's life was too bitter, you are him...... The only sunlight. ”

Xia Xizhi had already burst into tears, and he couldn't hold back his tears. Squatting down, Xia Xizhi responded softly: "Grandpa, don't worry, I will take care of Xiuyu." ”

Seeing her say this, the old man smiled reassuringly. Seeing Father Ji standing behind Ji Xiuyu, the old man raised his hand. Seeing this, Father Ji immediately stepped forward: "Dad." ”

Putting Ji's father's hand on the back of Ji Xiuyu's hand, the old man said to Ji Xiuyu earnestly: "Xiuyu, your father has made a lot of mistakes over the years. I know, you hate him. But now that he's old after all, I hope you can forgive him, okay?"

Ji Xiuyu looked at Father Ji and was silent quietly. He and Ji's father have always hated each other. He wanted to forgive him, but he added a new wound to him. Over time, the wound can no longer heal, and it is difficult to reunite after the broken mirror.

Seeing that he was silent, the old man wanted to get up, but Ji Xiuyu hurriedly stopped: "Grandpa, don't move." ”

"Xiu Yu, for my sake, forgive your father, okay? Xiu Ming has become a madman, and he has one hope for you. I'm just his son, and I don't want him to be old and end up with no one to send him to the end. The old man said with tears in his eyes.

Listening to his words, Father Ji choked up: "Dad, I'm sorry, I haven't honored you well all these years, and if you want you to get to now, you have to worry about me." ”

"You are my responsibility to be born a Father. Xiuyu, no matter how much your father has, he is your father after all, and his blood is thicker than water. The old man said tremblingly.

Worried that his emotions were too excited, Ji Xiuyu nodded and agreed: "Okay, I will be responsible for the rest of his life." But Grandpa, I still can't forgive him. But I promise you that I will take all the responsibilities that should be borne and will let him enjoy his old age in peace. ”

Knowing that this was Ji Xiuyu's biggest concession, the old man was no longer reluctant: "Okay, okay, then I'll rest assured." Now, I can walk with peace of mind. After saying this, the old man slowly closed his eyes and his hand slowly fell.

Seeing this scene, a cry sounded in the house: "Dad (Grandpa)!"

Two days later, in the ancestral grave of the Ji family, the old man's funeral was being held. The old man liked to be quiet during his lifetime, so only relatives and friends were allowed to attend the funeral. Ji Xiuyu and Xia Xizhi wore filial piety clothes, and the two received relatives and friends who came to attend the funeral together.

In just two days, Ji Xiuyu has lost a lot of weight. Looking at the tombstone, Ji Xiuyu was quietly distracted. There was a burst of warmth in his palm, and Ji Xiuyu looked sideways and met Xia Xizhi's gentle gaze. "Grandpa is the person I am most grateful to in my life, and without him, I wouldn't be where I am today. Ji Xiuyu said hoarsely.

Xia Xizhi nodded and said gently: "I know, grandpa is so kind, and when he goes to heaven, there is no illness there." Xiuyu, although grandpa is gone, you still have me and Tuanzi. You are not alone in this world. ”

Holding her hand tightly, Ji Xiuyu said slowly: "Before, you and grandpa were the people I wanted to protect the most. Now, all I have is you. Promise me never to leave me, okay?"

Seeing the fragility in his eyes, Xia Xizhi raised his other hand, and his palm covered the back of his hand: "Okay, I will never leave you." For the rest of our lives, we walked together. ”

Ji Xiuyu smiled, looked at the photo of the old man on the tombstone, and said silently in his heart: "Grandpa, thank you for changing my fate and allowing me to have the happiness I have now." Your last wishes, I will follow. ”
