    "Lao Li is an honest man. He has never been embarrassed by anyone in his life. When the neighbors talk about him, they can't help but give a thumbs up.  Mr. Li considers himself an ordinary citizen, but those who know him know that he is not simple.  On February 17, 1979, China's self-defense counterattack against Vietnam broke out. The 27-year-old Li charged into the battle on behalf of the country and fought a beautiful battle. Unfortunately, his right leg was lost forever on the battlefield in Vietnam.  A pair of crutches accompanied him for half his life, so he also got the nickname "Iron Crutch Li".  Although the neighbors around him said that this was the code name of a god, when he saw the strange looks in others' eyes, he felt like Ming Jing.  Lao Li didn't blame anyone. He felt that it was all the neighbors and there was no need to make him blush. It was Lao Li's tolerance that the title "Tieguai Li" was gradually replaced by "Old Li", even if the child's occasional remarks were inappropriate.  Children's words will also lead to severe reprimands from parents. Whenever this happens, he always persuades him in a pleasant way: "The child is young and not sensible. It doesn't matter. Come to my store another day and I will get him two lollipops."  , the child kissed me."

    Lao Li’s wife suffered from cancer and passed away at the age of 40. Lao Li relied on his own efforts to raise a pair of children.  His youngest daughter graduated from a key provincial medical university and works as a cardiovascular doctor in a Class II hospital in Shanghai.  His eldest son ranked second in the city's science subjects during the college entrance examination and was admitted to Peking University. After graduation, he stayed in Beijing and became a "gold collar worker." His daughter-in-law is a national civil servant and his grandson is in junior high school.

    After his children became successful, Lao Li chose to guard a shabby canteen in his hometown. He always told people that he was reluctant to leave his hometown. This was his Jieyou Grocery Store, but only he knew in his heart how much he missed his precious grandson.

    The shop is not big, only about 40 square meters. Lao Li has divided it into two rooms, inside and outside. The outer room is more than 20 square meters for business, and the ten square meters in the back room is where he lives. In his  Beside the bed, as far as the eye can reach, there are almost all photos of his grandson. From birth to one month old, to one year old, and to school, Lao Li can remember the stories behind each photo.

    When Lao Li retired from the army, he had a regular job as a technician in a factory in the city. He earned a high income. At that time, his employer also provided him with an apartment, so when he got married, Lao Li's financial conditions were not bad.  Although his wife had cancer, it was already in the advanced stage when he was diagnosed. His sudden death gave Lao Li no chance to spend money.

    Now Lao Li is very poor. In order to buy an apartment for his son in Beijing, he almost spent all his family wealth. Because he was in urgent need of money, his work unit offered to buy out his job at once, freeing up a place and making it easier for the leader's relatives.  And he only received a buyout compensation of 150,000 yuan. This price can be said to be very low for him with an annual income of close to 30,000 yuan, but he has no choice. He cannot delay his son's future.

    Lao Li sold his house, his job, and everything he could sell. The money he exchanged for finally allowed his son to settle down in Beijing. But when it was his daughter's turn to spend money, he was short of money, so her daughter gave him  Labeled as "partial", until now, his daughter has barely contacted him, and Lao Li has become distressed because of this.

    What pleased Lao Li was that although his son was very busy, he was very filial. He took the initiative to bring Lao Li to Beijing and wanted his father to experience life in a big city. However, within a week, Lao Li, who was full of joy, excused himself as "I'm not used to it."  "Sneakly got on the train home.  Lao Li's son became furious and called him a "stubborn old man."

    Lao Li felt bitter, but he didn't dare to say it. He knew that once he said it, his son and his wife would be turned upside down. He didn't want to destroy his son's family because of himself.  His daughter-in-law's eyes of contempt and disgust have told him that he will never want to integrate into his son's family in his life.

    The days of running a grocery store are leisurely and busy, but 5:30 pm every Friday is the happiest moment for Lao Li. This is the only time in the week when he can talk to his grandson on the phone. Lao Li has bad eyesight and cannot read books.  When reading the newspaper, he always wears thick reading glasses, but as long as he calls his grandson, he will be able to find the number as quickly as possible.  His grandson goes to a private school and leaves school at 5:30 pm every Friday. It takes a total of 10 minutes to drive from school to home. These 10 minutes are the only opportunity for him to talk to his grandson.

    "Grandpa." The voice on the other end of the phone was young and loud. Whether this joy came from missing Grandpa or praying for the weekend, we didn't know.

    "Hey, dear grandson." Lao Li was a bit deaf, and he pressed the phone against his ear hard.

    "Grandpa, when will you come to Beijing to see me? You promised to buy me a gift."

    "I will go, I will go."

    "Grandpa, let me tell you good news."

    "What's the good news?"

    "This class test, weDriving towards the main square in the city center, when passing by Lao Li's canteen, he discovered that there was a light shining through the crack in the door.

    "This guy got up so early today? It seems he has a good drink capacity!" Because he was in a hurry, Lao Mo didn't think much about it, pedaled his bicycle and rode towards his destination.

    More than two hours of morning exercise has become an indispensable part of Lao Mo's life. At 7:30 in the morning, after enjoying the pleasure brought by the exercise, he started to return on his bicycle and once again passed by Lao Li's groceries.  When the shop was being laid, the light in the crack of the door was still clearly visible.

    "Did the old guy drink too much last night and forget to turn off the lights?" Old Mo picked up his bicycle and walked to the wooden door.

    "Dong dong dong." In order not to disturb the other party's rest, he knocked on the door politely.

    Seeing no response, Old Mo raised his voice: "Get up, the sun is shining on your butt!"

    He originally thought that Lao Li would yell back at him like before, but after waiting for nearly a minute, there was still no sound on the other side of the door.

    "It's broken. Is something going to happen?" Lao Mo opened the door in a panic.

    "Old, old, old Li"

    The bloody face in the room made him collapse to the ground instantly.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
