"Mom, this is not the war you remember! The situation is critical! We'll have to move out tomorrow, or we'll be too late by the time the war gets here!" At dinner, Tang Wangdao tried hard to persuade him.

"I'm old, my legs and feet are not as sharp as before, and I can't walk so much. You also know that we old people pay attention to a fallen leaf to return to the roots. This village is my roots. When your father's comrades-in-arms brought his ashes back, I had no desire to live. If it weren't for the fact that I was thinking about you and Xiao Tang'er, I would have gone with him a long time ago. You see, Xiao Tang has grown up and sensible now, and my last obsession has been let go, and I should go with the old man. Grandma said calmly.

Yu Tang's grandfather died on the battlefield on the frontier a few days after Yu Tang was born. This hot-blooded warrior didn't even see a photo of his grandson, so he sacrificed his life to maintain the prosperity and stability of the Shenzhou Continent.

Everyone else in the room had mixed feelings. Tang Wangdao's heart hurt even more like a pinprick. He didn't know what the old man was thinking. But at this moment, how to choose?

"I'll stay with my grandmother. She grew up taking care of me, I had to be with her, I had to protect her. Yu Tang said calmly to Tang Wangdao

"Don Jr...... You persuade grandma! Tang Wangdao wanted to say more, but when he saw that the old man had closed his eyes and didn't want to listen to it anymore, he couldn't persuade him anymore, so he lowered his head and ate silently.

The light of the guns and cannons in the distance actually weakened at this moment. Instead, fireworks shine in the sky.

Today is Chinese New Year's Eve.

"Eat, let's eat, it's not good if it's cold." Tang Wangdao gave Yu Tang a chopstick dish, and didn't see his tears dripping on the table.

Yu Lingping put down the chopsticks, just touched Yu Tang's head and didn't say a word.

In the early morning of the next day, the cries of Tang Wangdao and Yu Lingping came from the courtyard. Yu Tang woke up and hurriedly ran out of the room, only to see the two of them kneeling on the ground hugging their heads and crying. Grandma sat in her grandfather's rocking chair with a peaceful expression. Grandpa's fan was placed on her chest and her hands were wrapped. And Tang Wangdao held a letter in his hand.

When Yu Tang saw this scene, a bad feeling surged in his heart. "Grandma!" Yu Tang ran over to see what happened to his grandmother, but was stopped by Tang Wangdao.

"Your grandmother...... She's gone. Let her lie down quietly a little longer. She left you a letter, you open it and take a look. Tang Wangdao's eyes revealed a lonely look, and he handed the envelope wet with tears to Yu Tang. This man, who has gone through all kinds of human sufferings but is still strong and has not been defeated by life, is crying like a child because of his mother's death at the moment.

Yu Tang took the envelope, carefully tore open the seal, and took out the letter.

"Little Tang'er, the luckiest thing in grandma's life is to meet your grandfather. Unfortunately, he left us early. Grandma is very relieved to see that you have finally grown up and know how to understand the difficulties of your parents. You kid don't have a bad heart, but when something happens, you're easy to be impulsive. You must remember to think twice before you act.

My wish has come true, and I have made a decision long ago to go with your grandfather. Now that I have trouble with my legs and feet, and I do not want to leave this village, I have decided to say goodbye to you at this time, lest you hesitate because of me. After I leave, don't be sad, people's birth, old age, sickness and death are the norm, let alone a person who has fulfilled his wish.

Bury me with your grandfather. Finally, there's a box under your grandfather's bed with some of my miscellaneous belongings for me and him, so bury it with you. Wang Yulan, book on January 27, 2017. ”
