There was no Li Hongdou on the other side of the desk, and Qian Aishu's life was much more empty all of a sudden, and he poured all his thoughts about Li Hongdou into his letters to Li Hongdou. In order not to be discovered, he quietly wrote a letter to Li Hongdou every day when he was resting in the afternoon.

Li Hongdou always showed her newly written poems to Qian Aishu in letters, and said that Qian Aishu was the first person to see these poems besides herself. Occasionally, she will send her newly bought poetry book to Qian Aishu, and Qian Aishu reads the poetry collection, as if looking at Li Hongdou's photo album, her mind is full of her figure.

The members of the "Trekking Poetry Club" have also lost their passion in the past, although Mr. Xie tried his best to maintain it, but because of his own teaching affairs, he lacked skills, and the members did not have Li Hongdou's supervision, after a period of time, the members no longer submitted manuscripts, and there were few contributions from outside the club. Everyone knows in their hearts that the poetry society has existed in name only.

Qian Aishu talked about these things in the letter, and he felt very uncomfortable, and felt that Li Hongdou's hard work was in vain. It was Li Hongdou who comforted him and said that those who should go will go, poetry should be lonely, and it is not good if it is too lively.

In this way, letters come and go, and the days pass quickly and smoothly, and in a blink of an eye, the second year of junior high has passed.

Under the influence of Li Hongdou, Qian Aishu became active in poetry from passive. Slowly, I began to try to write some poetry. He sent the poems he wrote to Li Hongdou, and Li Hongdou gave him advice very sincerely. There are several excellent poems among them, and Li Hongdou helped him submit articles to several poetry publications, and he actually saw them.

The publication was sent to Qian Aishu, and for the first time he saw his poems turn into lead characters, Qian Aishu was not particularly excited, but felt that publishing poems was not as rare as he imagined.

Promoted to the third year of junior high school, homework became more intense. Li Hongdou also rarely talks about poetry. She wrote to her that her father set a hard target for her, if she could be admitted to any secondary school in the provincial capital, he would let her write poetry. Li Hongdou chose a normal school that was relatively easy to get into at that time.

Compared with Li Hongdou, Qian Aishu's life is more intense, there are endless test papers every day, and the teachers bombard the memories of the students with rounds of review. The stressful life has become relatively simple, studying, eating, sleeping, and writing letters to Li Hongdou. But just as this life was coming to an end, in the middle of the second semester, something big suddenly happened.

In math class that day, Qian Aishu noticed that the students were all looking outside the classroom, and some were whispering to each other. Qian Aishu also looked out, and it turned out that someone was picking the window outside the classroom. Teacher Ruan stopped lecturing and walked to the corridor, and after a while, Teacher Ruan walked in, went to Qian Ai's desk and said, "Qian Aishu, your father is looking for you, you can go out for a while." ”

Qian Aishu hurriedly walked out of the classroom.

Daddy Qian was wearing a woolen coat, and it was still a little cold in April. "Dad, why are you here?"

Daddy Qian snorted and said, "You, your eldest sister is ......."

"What's wrong with her?" Qian Aishu's heart tightened, and he had a premonition that something big must have happened at home.

"She, she wants to meet you." Daddy Qian's eyes were red, and he stopped talking, and there was a hint of helplessness in his eyes that was deliberately hidden.

Qian Aishu suddenly didn't know what to do, for a half-year-old child who was only 16 or 7 years old, he couldn't calmly deal with the sudden arrival of his father and the panic brought by it at the same time. Growing up so big, he had never seen his father so godless as he did today.

After Qian Aishu asked the teacher for leave, he hurried home with Father Qian.

Chunxi received Daddy Qian and Qian Aishu at the pass.

"Brother, it's your dog-...... uncle"

The years have made Chunxi forget her age, and the best-looking eldest sister of Qian Jiaao back then is now no different from other peasant women.

"Where's Brother Dog?"

"In the township health center." Daddy Qian said first, for fear that Chunxi would say superfluous things.

On the way, Daddy Qian had already told Qian Aishu about what happened:

Qian Aishu's eldest brother-in-law Wei Hua beat the dog, for what, according to Father Qian, he didn't know. only said that the dog wanted to see Qian Aishu. Qian Aishu knew that his father was reluctant to tell him too many things. He has grown up slowly, and he has some doubts about many things around him, but he has become accustomed to accepting them over the years.

Wei Hua beat the dog egg very hard, and the internal injury caused the dog egg's liver disease to worsen.

Qian Aishu sat on the edge of the dog's bed, and the dogan grabbed Qian Aishu's hand.

"Scholar, you're here. I have a lot to say to you. ”

"Dog, you say, I'll listen."

"I haven't had a mother since I was a child, you Liudou brother, and your sister don't dislike me, play with me, the three of us are the best family." Goudan raised his hand and headed towards Chunxi, "Sister, come here." ”

Chunxi looked at Daddy Qian. Daddy Qian turned his head out the door.

Haruki walked over and sat down.

"I probably won't live for a few days, and my liver hurts so badly these days. Chunxi, Daddy Qian is old, only you can take care of the scholar in the future, my mother died early, and I dream of my mother every night. Later, my dad also left, and only you and Liudou were the best for me. I have always regretted the previous things. I always hoped that I would live to be 100 years old and see the sons, grandsons, and great-grandchildren of the scholars. I know I can't do it now. Sister, Brother Liudou doesn't know about that, don't tell him, or he won't go to see me on Qingming Festival in the future...... Ahem......"

The dog said a lot in one breath, and couldn't help but cough dryly. Qian Aishu got up to pour water for him, but the dog pulled him, "Don't go, I still have something to say, I don't know when I suddenly went, I have to tell you everything." ”

Qian Aishu nodded.

"I can't take care of you in the future, I have saved more than 70,000 yuan in the past few years, and the excerpt is at Liudou's daughter-in-law, and when I go, she will give the excerpt to the scholar, you have to study hard, don't worry about money, I think the 70,000 yuan is enough for you to finish college."

"I don't want it, Brother Dog." Qian Aishu couldn't hold back her tears, "I just want you to be good." ”

"Silly boy, Brother Dog can't stand you, there are two genetic diseases in our family, one is madness, and the other is liver disease. My dad is crazy, mine is liver disease, and they are all hopeless. There was a hint of melancholy in the dog's eyes, "I will bless you well after I leave, and I hope you will be safe and sound for the rest of your life...... Don't ......"

The dog couldn't go on, turned his head sideways, and Qian Aishu clearly saw that two tears did not fall from the corners of his eyes.

The next day, Goudan drove Qian Aishu back to school, and 5 days later, he died of liver disease.

Before he died, Goudan told Chunxi not to let Qian Aishu come back to see him off, he said, so as not to gossip about others.

There is still a month before the high school entrance examination, and Li Hongdou wrote that she would come back to cheer up Qian Aishu, so that he could be the first in the county in the high school entrance examination. said that Qian Aishu would pick her up at the train station on May 25, but just a week ago, Li Hongdou wrote that she was not coming, and there were some inexplicable words in her letter: "My sister from Jiangbei Middle School wrote to me that she saw you and Ye Tingfang walking past the door of the cinema yesterday, is it true?" I feel so heartbroken, I don't know why, I always call you brother, but why do I feel heartache when I hear that you went to the movies with Ye Tingfang? Ye Tingfang is a good girl, she is beautiful, and her academic performance is also very good, I can't compare to her...... It's about to take the high school entrance examination, I think you should focus on your studies and stop caring about your children's private affairs, if you are in love with Ye Tingfang, I think you are wrong, you should at least wait until after the high school entrance examination......"

Qian Aishu was confused by Li Hongdou, in fact, Qian Aishu just went to the Xinhua Bookstore next to the movie theater to buy books that day, and happened to meet Ye Tingfang in the bookstore, and the two went back to school together after buying the books. Before this, Qian Aishu and Li Hongdou had never publicly said that they liked each other, and they had never expressed their hearts to each other directly.

In the reply letter that day, Qian Aishu decided to tell Li Hongdou that he liked her.

In his reply, he said, "I've liked you since I was a freshman, do you remember the first time I spoke to you? Do you know? Actually, I liked you from the beginning, and then you recognized me as my brother, I was already very happy in my heart, and today you told me this, not only am I not angry, but I am very moved, you know? I've been looking forward to your letter for three years......"

Li Hongdou jumped up with joy when she saw Qian Aishu's letter, and she immediately replied to Qian Aishu, agreeing to meet in the provincial capital in the new semester.
