Siheyuan: A Very Happy Era

Chapter 40 The Loveliest People
"Well, he's a capable guy!"

Luo Jiwu nodded, and first praised him, then continued in a deep voice: "I called you here this time because I have two things to ask of you."

Hearing this, Li Guoqiang waved his hands and said, "Hey, please don't say the word please. Just tell me to do anything you want."

"Although we didn't have much chance to be close to each other because of my poor health, we still have a long way to go!"

"Yes! There is still a long way to go!"

Luo Jiwu was slightly stunned, then let out a sigh.

After saying that, he reached into his shirt, took out a slightly yellowed notebook, and handed it to Li Guoqiang tremblingly.

Seeing this, Li Guoqiang hurriedly bent down and reached out to take the notebook.

Then, he saw Luo Jiwu's eyes indicating that he should open it and read, so he immediately turned to the first page.

[Xie Guanghua, 2nd squad, 1st platoon, 9th company, address: Xiejiazhuang, Xiaoqinghewan.]

[Cheng Dalun, 25th squad, nd platoon, th company, address: No. , Zhima Hutong, Sijiucheng.]

[Lv Fuquan, 3rd squad, 1st platoon, 9th company, address: Shanghe Village, Dinghai Town, Tianjin.]

[Squad 1, 3rd Platoon, 9th Company.]

After reading only a few lines, Li Guoqiang suddenly realized something and quickly looked up at Luo Jiwu.

"Old man, are all the people listed here your former comrades-in-arms?"

"Yes! They are all my former comrades who have fought with me through thick and thin, and shared life and death with me!"

Luo Jiwu nodded, with a look of pride and nostalgia on his face.

After a while, tears suddenly appeared in his eyes and a trace of sadness appeared on his face.

"It's a pity that many of them fell on the battlefield and will never come back!"

Li Guoqiang's expression dimmed slightly when he heard this, and then he quickly spoke to comfort him: "Grandpa, don't be too sad. As long as the descendants of our Chinese nation are still around, they will always live in our hearts."

"Oh! I didn't expect my eldest grandson to have such ideological awareness!"

Luo Jiwu looked at Li Guoqiang in surprise, as if he couldn't believe that such profound words came out of the mouth of a twenty-year-old boy.

Little did he know that Li Guoqiang had already deeply felt the greatness and heroism of his ancestors in his previous life, so naturally he could not reason with common sense.

"That's great. Since you have this ideological awareness, then you can help me divide this money and food coupons into five equal parts and send them to the homes of the five comrades named on the last page of this book!"

Soon, Luo Jiwu came to his senses, took out a small roll of money and food coupons from his pocket and handed them to Li Guoqiang.

"Okay, I will definitely get this done for you!"

Li Guoqiang was slightly stunned, then quickly reached out to take the money.

To be honest, he really didn't expect that Luo Jiwu asked him to come over to send food coupons to his comrades.

Because, logically speaking, this matter should be handled by Li Guofu, the grandson, and the new postman.

However, although he was a little surprised, he did not feel any reluctance.

In fact, when he looked at the 15 yuan and 30 kilograms of national food coupons in his hand, he suddenly thought of the money and coupons in the storage space, and an idea came to his mind.

Since God has brought him to this era, since he has the ability, and since he already knows about this matter, he must do his best to help those most lovely people.

After all, few of the people in this notebook can be like Luo Jiwu, who not only has the pension of his own son, but also receives a little living allowance from the government every month, and also has Li Dawei and Yao Meilan, and his granddaughter Luo Huijuan, who show him some filial respect from time to time.

It is precisely because of this that Luo Jiwu can save so much money every month and exchange for so many national food coupons. When Luo Jiwu saw that Li Guoqiang agreed, a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

Then, when he looked at Li Guoqiang, a complicated look suddenly flashed across his eyes.

"Xiao Qiang! Actually, the main reason why I called you over is to ask you a favor."

"No! Grandpa, please don't say that. Isn't that the same as calling me unfilial? If my parents knew about this, they would definitely slap me in the face. Please don't torture me like this. I still say the same thing. If you have anything to say, just tell me directly!"

When Li Guoqiang heard Luo Jiwu actually used the word "beg", he was immediately shocked, and then hurriedly waved his hands and begged for mercy.

At the same time, he was also a little confused. What kind of big deal could make Luo Jiwu use the word "ask" to tell him?
"Okay, then I'll speak my mind!"

Luo Jiwu nodded when he heard this, then his expression became serious, his eyes fixed on Li Guoqiang, and he said in a deep voice: "I hope you can promise me not to harm Juanzi!"

"What? Old man, what do you mean by that? Why would I harm my sister?"

Li Guoqiang frowned, then looked at Luo Jiwu in confusion, not understanding why he said that.

"It seems you don't know yet! Well, then I will tell you what is going on now!"

When Luo Jiwu saw Li Guoqiang's reaction, his expression eased slightly. He then told Li Guoqiang that Li Dawei and Yao Meilan wanted Luo Huijuan to marry Li Guoqiang, and that Luo Huijuan herself was willing.

After saying that, he didn't wait for Li Guoqiang to recover from his surprise, and immediately continued in a deep voice: "Back then, the reason why I didn't agree with Juanzi and her mother to move their household registration to your house was that I thought that when Juanzi grew up, I could find a live-in son-in-law for our Luo family, so that she could be close to her father and grandmother, and the incense would not be cut off."

"Although these things are no longer advocated, I left them behind and secretly ran off to join the army. I was gone for more than ten years, and I feel really sorry for them. So I don't want them to become wandering ghosts in the future!"

"I know this is a little unfair to you, but you also know your own body, and you have to go to the countryside in a few days, and no one can tell when you can come back."

"So, whether it's for your and Juanzi's future or for my own selfish reasons, just pretend you never knew about this!"

After hearing this, Li Guoqiang couldn't help but be silent for a moment, and suddenly recalled in his mind all the tenderness that Luo Huijuan had shown him in the past few days.

When Luo Jiwu saw that Li Guoqiang didn't say anything, his expression froze slightly. Then he struggled to sit up and pretended to kneel down on the ground.

"Ouch! Old man, what are you doing?"

Seeing this, Li Guoqiang's heart suddenly tightened, and he hurriedly reached out to support Luo Jiwu and pressed him back onto the recliner.

Luo Jiwu looked up at Li Guoqiang, then struggled hard to get down.

"Okay, old man, I promise you, isn't that enough?"

Seeing Luo Jiwu's firm attitude, Li Guoqiang couldn't help but smile bitterly, and at the same time he silently extinguished the little reverie that had just arisen in his mind.

In fact, he did not dare to have any improper thoughts about Luo Huijuan because he was worried that it would destroy this hard-earned family relationship.

Now, with Luo Jiwu doing this to him, it is even more impossible for him to think about it.

For the friendship she showed to Luo Huijuan, he could only say sorry silently in his heart.

When Luo Jiwu heard that Li Guoqiang had finally agreed, he couldn't help but reveal a look of relief on his face.

Afterwards, he didn't say anything more to Li Guoqiang, but just reminded Li Guoqiang to be more careful when he went out in the future, and then waved his hand to signal Li Guoqiang that he could go back.

Li Guoqiang walked outside the house, glanced at the bare grape trellis in the yard, and a slightly complicated look appeared on his face.

Although the scenery here is beautiful, it does not belong to him after all!
The next moment, as he raised his head and cast his gaze towards the sky, a smile full of expectation slowly appeared on his face.

Soon, it was evening, and the Jia family and the Xu family each received bad news.

　Bow down and ask to read on!
