Ah Cai actually opened all the windows in the main room.

It's the middle of winter and it's very cold outside.

As the cold air invaded, Li Yuanlang felt the biting cold wind and couldn't help but shiver.

He followed behind Ah Cai and not only opened the window of the main room, but Ah Cai then pushed open all the windows of the two bedrooms.

Li Yuanlang couldn't help but ask: "Uncle Cai, what are you..."

"The master's soul will come back at midnight, and he will definitely come to see me..."

When Ah Cai said these words, he looked at the starry night sky, as if the old man was in the mid-air above his head, watching him.

Oh, so that's it.

Li Yuanlang tightened his collar and followed the direction of Ah Cai's gaze, motionless.

I don’t know if it was a coincidence or not, but Ah Cai’s words came not long after he finished speaking.

Then he heard a roaring sound coming from his bedroom.

Ah Cai hurried over and saw the window fanning back and forth a few times, as if a gust of wind had just blown away.

"Master, you, you have really come back to see me..." Ah Cai looked out the window with tears streaming down his face, following the wind, his tears flowed out from the corners of his eyes, and a string of drops splashed on his clothes.

Ah Cai choked up and said, "Don't worry, I will take good care of your family and not be bullied by others..."

At this point, Ah Cai tried not to burst into tears, but tears welled up in his eyes and his heart felt like a knife. He stood on the ground, trembling all over.

Li Yuanlang was deeply moved.

Even if they are the old man's biological children, none of them have such a close, deep, and strong feeling towards the old man as Ah Cai does.

Affected by this, Li Yuanlang recalled everything he had with the old man in his mind, his heart felt sour, and his eye circles couldn't help but moisten.

After a long time, he turned around and wiped the corners of his eyes, and accidentally saw a black travel bag placed on the table, and even the quilt on Ah Cai's bed was rolled up.

It seems that Ah Cai has already packed his bags. Is this the time to leave?

"Uncle Cai, do you want to leave here?"

Until this moment, Ah Cai finally closed the window and sighed: "The master has gone, and there is no point in me staying here. The master is here, and this is my home. If the master is not here, I am just a burden."

Li Yuanlang felt that there was something in Ah Cai's words.

Recalling that after dinner, the elders drove away everyone else, leaving only the three brothers and sisters of the Gu family. Li Yuanlang immediately realized that the three of them must have talked to Ah Cai. Are they going to drive him away?

"Uncle Cai, do they want you to leave here?"

Ah Cai did not answer, but looked up and looked around the room, muttering to himself: "It's time to go. After living for decades, it's time to change to a new environment and breathe new air."

Li Yuanlang was immediately filled with righteous indignation. Back then, the three brothers and sisters of the Gu family relied on Ah Cai's thin body to carry sacks to support him. In the end, as soon as the old man passed away, would he drive Ah Cai away?

How outrageous!

"Uncle Cai, I'll go find them to comment. Human hearts are made of flesh, not iron." Li Yuanlang said, turned around and walked out.

But Ah Cai grabbed his arm with a big hand and said, "Uncle, please don't go. They have already followed my request and found me a house near the master's grave. I want to guard the master's grave. This is my responsibility."

The best destination, don’t change it.”

Li Yuanlang felt the sincerity in Ah Cai's eyes, and at the same time he felt the strong strength in Ah Cai's hands, like an iron pliers, pulling Li Yuanlang to the point where he could not move even an inch.

"Please, uncle, I appreciate your kindness. I really don't want to see you and the young master fall out with each other again because of me..."

"Uncle Cai, but, the Gu family has treated you badly like this..."

"Stop talking, it doesn't matter if the Gu family treats me badly, as long as the master treats me well, it's enough. I'm quite satisfied, really, I won't lie to you."

Li Yuanlang thought for a while, took out a bank card from his pocket and put it into Ah Cai's hand.

Before coming here, Shui Tingyue gave it to him for emergencies.

"Uncle Cai, take this card. It's not much money. It's 100,000 yuan. You use it first. If it's not enough, I'll think of something else." Li Yuanlang held Uncle Cai's five fingers and helped him slowly bring them together.

Faced with Li Yuanlang's sincerity, Ah Cai smiled, his eyes sparkling again, "Uncle, I don't need it. I have saved pension money, which is enough for my old age. Thank you for your kindness, thank you."

After a while of shirk, Li Yuanlang couldn't resist Ah Cai's refusal, so he had to put away his bank card. After chatting for a few more words, Ah Cai reminded him to go back and rest early, so as not to let the second lady worry about him, so Li Yuanlang separated from him.

; Back to Shui Tingyue's room, Li Yuanlang saw that his wife was sleeping deeply and did not disturb her. He lay beside her but did not feel sleepy at all, and fell into deep thought.

When I got up for dinner the next morning, Gu Zhengchuan did not show up and went to the relevant department to handle the old man's funeral affairs.

Although the old man has been buried, there are still many remaining matters that need to be discussed and resolved. At the very least, the trip to return to his hometown to bury the other half's ashes must be finalized.

The two brothers Gu Chuang and Gu Han are not here either. They still have a place to live in the capital. In the past, when the old man was here, during the holidays, the two brothers would leave after eating and rarely spend the night here.

Gu Zhengchuan's wife was in poor health, so the meals were brought to her room and only served a limited number of times.

Only Gu Zhenggang, his daughter Gu Liuyan, and Gu Hongyan's family were present.

Li Yuanlang took a sip of porridge and pretended to mention it casually: "I saw Uncle Cai last night, and I went with him to pay homage to my grandfather's return from the ghost."

As soon as these words came out, they didn't cause much trouble.

Gu Zhenggang just glanced at Li Yuanlang and said, "Brother Cai has left."

"Gone!" Li Yuanlang was a little surprised.

Because the word "go" has exceeded its original meaning.

When people die, they are also asked to leave.

"Oh," Gu Zhenggang guessed the reason for Li Yuanlang's overreaction and immediately changed his words: "I mean, he has left our house and his whereabouts are unknown."

"Second uncle, doesn't he want to guard grandpa's grave?"

Gu Hongyan took over the conversation, "Guarding the tomb is just an excuse for him to use it as a cover-up. The note he left behind told us that he would go to a clean place to spend the rest of his life, and would not let us look for him, and he did not want us to disturb him.

he."

Shui Qingzhang said: "After my father passed away, Brother Cai was already dead-set. No one can persuade him. We still respect his choice. Maybe this is what he wants to see most."

Gu Zhenggang nodded and said with emotion: "I have had a hunch for a long time that if dad is gone, our relationship with Ah Cai will come to an end."

"Dad trusts him so much. I guess he will definitely arrange everything for him before he is alive. Let's not worry about it."

Hearing what Gu Hongyan said, Li Yuanlang felt like something was stuck in his throat. Even though he was drinking gruel, he found it difficult to swallow.

The Gu brothers and sisters were very inhumane in their treatment of Ah Cai, which was chilling to hear.

But Ah Cai had already left, so what Li Yuanlang was saying was meaningless.

After dinner, Gu Zhenggan had to catch a flight back to An Giang Province.

Gu Liuyan has a home in Beijing, and she is also in a hurry to meet the director for the filming of a new movie.

Shui Qingzhang and Gu Hongyan had packed up, and the special car sent by the Donghe Provincial Office in Beijing had already arrived at the gate of the old house.

Li Yuanlang and Shui Tingyue held Xiao Guyu in their arms. They were all standing in the yard, waiting for their father-in-law and mother-in-law.

After a long while, they saw Gu Hongyan wiping the corners of his eyes and walking out of the house with Shui Qingzhang's support.

"Qingzhang, let me take one last look..."

Shui Qingzhang understood and let go of his wife's arm, letting her look around this former home again.

Gu Hongyan didn't live here long, because when the old man came to power and was assigned this house, Gu Hongyan had already married Shui Qingzhang.

However, as long as the old man is still alive, this is her natal home.

Every time she comes to the capital, this place is her place to stay.

Now, her mother has passed away long ago, her father has also left Hexi, her parents are gone, and her natal family is gone as well.

In fact, last night, regarding Ah Cai's last wish to stay here and guard the old house, the three siblings were surprisingly unanimous in not agreeing. There is a reason.

Why the house needs to be handed over, why it will have a bad impact, why it will require six to eight servants, why it will cost a lot, etc., are all excuses.

The real reason why they don't want to keep the property is that they don't want to cause sadness when they come back.

Seeing the old house reminds them that the old man is still there, which will always make them miss him and make them feel sad and unable to get out of it.

If a person has been sad and depressed for a long time, not only will his body be weak, various diseases will easily come to his doorstep, but the magnetic field around him will also be affected, causing bad luck.

The brothers and sisters are both members of the system and care most about their political plumage. Once there are always bad omens surrounding them and affecting their career development, it will be a disaster.

Therefore, the three brothers and sisters must learn to forget. They must forget this sad incident as soon as possible, get out of it quickly, and return to normal.

Besides, no matter how good A Cai is, he can't replace Dad.
