I, strive for the prosperity of the motherland! 【system】

When Mrs. Li heard what Mrs. Qiao and Su Xing said, her originally cloudy eyes couldn't help but flash with some light. She stretched out a dry hand and tried to reach out to Su Xing.

Su Xing quickly reached out and held Mrs. Li’s skinny and trembling hand.

Old Mrs. Li spoke with some difficulty, "Xiao, Xiao Su, you are here, don't be afraid, I just... just want to talk to you."

Su Xing's nose felt a little sour. She smiled gently at Old Lady Li, "Grandma Li, I'm not afraid. What do you want to tell me? I'm listening."

"I, I heard from Old Joe and the others that the performance that day was... arranged by you?"

Su Xing nodded and replied softly, "I contacted the theater and booked the performance hall. The performance was a success. It was the result of the joint efforts of all of you Pingju actors who participated in the performance."

Old Mrs. Li struggled to sit up from the bed.

Su Xing was a little at a loss, not knowing whether to help her up or persuade the old lady to continue lying down.

At this time, Mrs. Li’s nephew and great-nephew came forward and helped the old lady sit up on the hospital bed.

Old Mrs. Li took two deep breaths and tried to even out her breathing.

She said to her nephew: "Jun, I am a little hungry. I want to eat egg cake..."

The middle-aged man nodded, "Okay, Auntie, I'll ask Xiaopeng to buy it."

The middle-aged man stepped back from the bed and winked at his son.

The father and son walked out of the ward.

After leaving the house, the middle-aged man said to his son, "Go buy your aunt a bowl of egg cake, and by the way... by the way, contact the funeral service we booked and bring the shroud over."

The young man was stunned. "My aunt is feeling better now, isn't she? She looks pretty good and can eat. Why did you bring the burial clothes here?"

The middle-aged man sighed, "The doctor said your aunt was already dying, and now it's obvious that she's having a last gasp."

Mrs. Li's niece, who had been crying at the door, was now crying like rain. She raised her hand to cover her mouth and tried to suppress her tears.

In the ward.

Old Mrs. Li held Su Xing's hand and spoke intermittently.

"I know. I'm about to go meet my husband, Gu. He's coming to pick me up..."

"Grandma Li, please don't let your imagination run wild..."

Su Xing himself felt that his words were very weak.

Old Mrs. Li smiled, and her smile showed a sense of ease and seemed to contain a little expectation.

"Little Su girl, and all of you, don't need to comfort me. I know exactly how my body is doing... I'm eighty-five this year, and I'm not afraid of death. Old Gu is waiting for me down there, and I'm very, very happy to be able to reunite with him..."

Mrs. Li's niece had just tried to calm herself down and pushed the door into the ward, but when she heard what her aunt said, she burst into tears again.

Old Mrs. Li looked at her niece and said, "Xiao Juan'er, don't cry. I'm old and have reached the end of my life. It's a happy funeral. You and Xiao Jun'er are both filial. Just remember to burn more money for me and your uncle in the future."

The old man's niece was speechless again and could only nod vigorously.

Old Mrs. Li looked at Su Xing again and began to talk in a rambling manner.

Her words were a little confusing, but everyone who listened to her was heartbroken and in tears.

"That era was so chaotic. My parents are gone, and I lost my brother. If it weren't for your Grandpa Gu who taught me to stutter, I would have been gone long ago..."

"Later, after liberation, I, we were reunited with my elder brother's family, and we thought good days were coming, but Lao Gu was put in the cowshed again... I was lucky enough to survive, but Lao Gu fell asleep forever that winter night and never woke up again..."

"It snowed so heavily that day, and the weather... was so cold..."

Su Xing held Mrs. Li's hand tightly, and the tears that he had been holding back for a long time finally burst out.

Old Mrs. Qiao and Old Mrs. Fang who were standing by were also people from that era, and at this moment they couldn't help but raise their hands to wipe away their tears.

Old Mrs. Li continued speaking.

"Always take care of him. He is just an actor. I, I still don't understand, who is offended by him? Why torture him so much..."

"He sings beautifully. If he were still alive today, he would have to be a teacher at a Chinese opera school at least."

"Yeah." Su Xing nodded, responding to Mrs. Li's words.

"When Old Gu was alive, he saw that I loved to listen to him sing, so he said he would teach me to sing..." Old Mrs. Li recalled the past with a smile on her face, "I, I actually just love to listen to him sing, and I have no patience to learn any opera, so, so, he kept teaching, and I kept learning, but I just couldn't learn it..."

"He was very patient and didn't call me stupid. He taught me over and over again. But later... he couldn't teach me anymore, and he couldn't sing himself..."

Old Madam Li grabbed Su Xing's hand and tried to use a little more strength. "I have learned a lot of tricks from Lao Qiao and Lao Fang in the past few years. Xiao Su, do you think your Grandpa Gu will be happy when you get to the underworld?"

Su Xing nodded vigorously, "Yes, Grandpa Gu will definitely be very happy."

Old Mrs. Li smiled and said, "I also think he will be happy. When I get there, I have to tell him that over the years, I have not only learned to sing opera, but I have also performed on a real stage, with more people than he did at that time, and I have also... I have also been on the Internet, and many people have seen it...

Su Xing smiled while crying and said, "Yes, netizens really liked your performance that day."

As she spoke, she took out her cell phone, opened Weibo, clicked on the video of that day's performance, showed it to Mrs. Li, and read her a few comments.

Old Mrs. Li listened and laughed, and suddenly her tone became worried again, "I, I haven't seen Lao Gu for decades. Do you think he will be able to recognize me after I go down?"

Su Xing said, "Don't worry. I heard that when people go to another world, they will return to the time they want to return to the most. Grandpa Gu will definitely recognize you. Moreover, it is possible that Grandpa Gu has been watching you all these years, watching you live a healthy and safe life, with your younger generations being filial and having a good life."

"Okay." Mrs. Li believed Su Xing's words and said with a smile, "It must be what you said."

At this time, Mrs. Li’s nephew came back from buying egg cakes.

"Aunt, I bought the egg cake. Eat it while it's hot."

Old Mrs. Li’s niece took the egg cake, scooped a spoonful, blew on it, and brought it to the old lady’s mouth.

Old Mrs. Li took a bite with trembling lips, then sighed, "You, your uncle loved this the most when he was alive, but, unfortunately... before he passed away, he hadn't eaten it for several years..."

Her words made everyone in the ward cry again.
