She was devastated by the news.

She is not the original owner, but when she first came to this world, she had inherited all the memories of the original owner.

The old man's love for her is obvious to all, even if she was not very smart before her grandfather's disappearance, she was spoiled by her grandfather like a pearl in her palm, and it was not until after her grandfather's disappearance that she began to encounter those hardships.

At that time, Xie Jingqiong thought about finding out where her grandfather went, but she didn't have any clues at all, and in addition, it was not as developed as in later generations, and even if there was no letter of introduction, she couldn't even go out of the commune, so it was really not easy to find someone.

Later, she met Jiang Zhanting, Jiang Zhanting once said to help her find it, she knew that Jiang Zhanting really took this matter to heart.

For example, this man always sticks to her, but occasionally goes out, and whenever he comes to the commune alone, he communicates with his comrades-in-arms from afar for the sake of Grandpa Xie's affairs.

It's a pity that there has been no progress.

But now, all of a sudden, Cui Junxuan brought news from Grandpa Xie.

Jiang Zhanting patted Xie Jingqiong's shoulder, his expression became more serious, and he asked worriedly, "Is the old man doing well?" Where is he? Why haven't you come back? ”

He asked everything she wanted to ask instead of Xie Jingqiong.

Cui Junxing: "......"

There was silence for a while, and then he hung his head deeply, and he took off the hat on his head.

He didn't say anything, but that attitude spoke for itself.

Xie Jingqiong's pupils shrank: "Grandpa, he'...... Passed away? ”

She asked incredulously.

Cui Junxuan bit his lip, then took a deep breath: "I'm sorry! ”

"At that time, we took a cargo ship from Xiangjiang back to the mainland, but when we were walking by water, something happened on the way...... It's our fault. ”

"At that time, the team I led was on a secret mission, and I thought that I had driven out the other party according to the order, but I didn't expect it......"

Unexpectedly, there were still fish that slipped through the net.

Before going ashore, the two sides exchanged fire, and the situation was very chaotic, and when they came to their senses, they found that Old Man Xie had ......

Later, when they inquired, they heard that Mr. Xie had been shot and pushed into the river from the boat.

The river is so deep and the area is so wide, even if you want to find someone, it is difficult to find it, no less than looking for a needle in a haystack.

In this way, the old man did not see anyone alive or dead, but judging from the situation at that time, the old man should be ...... Something has happened.

……

After learning about these things from Cui Junxuan's mouth, Xie Jingqiong settled down.

She felt a little dizzy.

Jiang Zhanting's thick eyebrows were knotted, he hugged Xie Jingqiong tightly and patted Xie Jingqiong's back gently.

The atmosphere was heavy.

Cui Jun's mouth was bitter.

"I'm really sorry."

Xie Jingqiong's eyes were slightly red, and she felt a palpitation, as if somewhere in this body was grieving because of this bad news.

“…… Not necessarily," she shook her head with red eyes: "My grandfather is a capable person, he is a skilled doctor, he ......" She always felt that Grandpa Xie would not pass away like that.

"If you don't see the body, it means that everything is possible, maybe grandpa is still alive, I don't believe he is dead!"

After speaking, she took a deep breath: "Tingting, let's go home!" ”

She didn't look at Cui Junxuan again.

And Cui Junxuan was dumbfounded for a while, staring at her back, wanting to say something more, but ...... To put it bluntly, the death of the old man has a lot to do with them.

It can almost be regarded as being killed indirectly by them.

If he hadn't met them, maybe the old man wouldn't have suffered an accident.

He was very guilty and blamed himself, and once again hung his head.

……

"What's going on?"

When Mrs. Jiang came back from the noodle factory, she happened to meet Xie Jingqiong, and when she saw Xie Jingqiong rushing forward with her head down, she looked puzzled.

"Zhan Ting, what's going on? Why is Qiongqiong's face wrong? ”

Jiang Zhanting sighed in his heart, he pondered and told the previous story.

Mrs. Jiang's pupils shrank!

Suddenly, the old lady's eyes turned red.

The entire Jiang family compound was silent, and even the children closed their mouths sensibly, tiptoeing in and out, and did not dare to gasp.

In the big house, Xie Jingqiong sat by the kang, and she sat silently.

I don't know what I'm thinking, anyway, my mind is messing around, and when she cleans up her mood, she looks up and finds that it's already dark.

And Jiang Zhanting came to her side at some point, sat quietly on the side, and held her hand tightly.

When she was sorting out her mood, he had been with her so silently.

Xie Jingqiong's eyes were a little sour, she got up and pulled the rope, and the light bulb in the room lit up suddenly.

"Do you feel better?" Jiang Zhanting asked her.

Xie Jingqiong: "......" pursed her lips, then shook her head, and finally sighed fiercely.

"—Tingting, I want to go out for a walk."

"I'll be with you."

He immediately got up and at the same time draped her in a thick garment.

It was late at night, and the children went to bed early, but the old man and the old lady lit the lamp in this house, and the second and fourth were staying with the two old men.

The atmosphere on their side was also heavy.

Hearing the movement outside, several people quietly took a look, and Mrs. Jiang had already cried so much that her eyes were red.

"Why don't good people live long......"

A person like Old Man Xie is really a good person, a good person, I think there are many people in the team who have received the favor of the old man.

In the past, when he just disappeared, everyone in the village helped to find someone, and after a long time, everyone gradually got used to it, but whenever he mentioned Old Man Xie, he always sighed and missed.

Missing is missing, this is not the same as being dead, Mrs. Jiang is really uncomfortable in her heart.

Second Brother Jiang's eyes were also red, and Old Man Jiang put his arm around the old lady's shoulder, sighed and patted: "Don't cry, otherwise when Zhan Ting's daughter-in-law sees it, she will also be uncomfortable." ”

Mrs. Jiang sniffed, she hummed, but never looked up.

Under the moonlight.

Xie Jingqiong and Jiang Zhanting were shoulder to shoulder, the weather was still cold in early spring, and the ice and snow had already melted, but the temperature at night was still very low.

She lowered her head and walked quietly all the way, unconsciously coming to the blue brick house of the Xie family.

In the past, this blue brick compound was occupied by the Ye family, and later Xie Jingqiong drove the Ye family away, seeing that she is usually very busy, but in fact, she will come over to have a look whenever she is free.

The same is true for Lao Jiang's side, every once in a while I have to come over to help warm the house a little kang, Mrs. Jiang even said with a smile: "This empty house can't be inhabited for too long, no one has lived in it, and there will be a lack of life in the house, and it will be cold and cold when the time comes, and it will be uncomfortable." ”

"And this ondol, when it snows, you have to help burn it, so that you don't have to burn it for too long."

Everyone is waiting for Grandpa Xie to come back, and they are all looking forward to the day when the old man can return to Qingshantun.

Even during the Chinese New Year, Lao Jiang's family was busy cleaning, and as soon as they finished cleaning up their house, the old lady took her daughter-in-law and children to the big courtyard of Xie's house, and cleaned them all inside and out, and the dust was wiped clean, and even a few broken tiles on the roof of the house beam were replaced with new ones.

"Squeak-"

Xie Jingqiong landed on the door with both hands, and with a gentle push, a neat courtyard paved with red bricks immediately caught her eyes.
