Courtyard House: A Great Musician! Red Songs Resound Worldwide

It was still dark when I discovered that the sky was over.

It will take at least half an hour to get back to Grandma's house from here.

Li Chaoyang wanted to find a tricycle.

I plan to take a tricycle back.

Just then, a middle-aged man riding a tricycle came up to Li Chaoyang.

"Comrade, where are you going? Take a ride with me, it's cheap, only fifty cents."

"I need to get to Huayang Town up ahead."

"Huayang and Zhenyuan are a bit far, but since I've already offered you 50 cents, I'll take you as a customer. Consider it a repeat customer. Comrade, get in the car."

The middle-aged man was very enthusiastic and took the bag from Li Chaoyang, which was now empty of clothes.

I picked it up and checked the bottom of the bag.

"Comrade, what happened to your bag? Did someone take it, or was it...?"

"It got stolen. I encountered a pickpocket on the bus. It's all my fault for falling asleep."

"Then what do you need this bag for!"

"Although it has a big tear on the side, this bag was quite expensive when I bought it, so it's quite a sentimental item. I can go back, repair it, and continue using it."

030 "They really are people who live practical lives."

"Master, do you come out to pick up passengers at this time every day?"

"For the sake of making a living? What are you going to do then?"

"It's really not easy to find work at this hour. Why didn't you think about working in a factory? You get paid monthly and it's less hassle."

“I was assigned to a class at first, but I don’t like being restricted. The class monitor told me off a couple of times, and I felt uncomfortable about it.”

"In a fit of pique, I got into a fight with the squad leader, and the factory fired me. That's how I ended up without a shift."

“I’m no longer working, but my wife and kids still need food and shelter, so I thought I’d buy this tricycle and start working as a pedicab driver.”

"Although it's a bit shady and requires starting early, it doesn't earn less than my regular job."

"Master, you're quite capable."

"What's the big deal? We're only alive once, right? We have to find our own way out. If one path doesn't work, we just try another. It's no big deal."

"If you're out soliciting customers at night, can you really come out during the day? Don't you just stay home and catch up on your sleep?"

"You're right about that. I do get more work when I go out for foot massages at night."

“I take a nap during the day. There aren’t always people getting off at this bus station. I time it so that passengers get off at this bus station, and then I come over.”

"Master, what factory did you work for before?"

“I used to be a furnace worker at a steel mill, where I would melt down the scrap iron we collected.”

"Your job is quite dangerous; you could easily get injured if you don't do it well."

"It's not that great. We've been working really hard all day, but the squad leader is always causing trouble."

"But he wouldn't do it. How can I not be angry? Doing hard work is thankless and he just doesn't like me."

As he spoke, Li Chaoyang finally saw the entrance to his familiar alley.

"Driver, please stop here. I'm home."

"Good."

Li Chaoyang got out of the car and took out 5 cents from his pocket.

I also found 22 cents, and I handed that 22 cents to the man.

"It's not easy for you, sir. Here's your 22 cents. It's so late at night, and you're out here earning this money. It's really hard-earned money."

When the rickshaw puller saw that Li Chaoyang had given him an extra 22 cents, he happily thanked Li Chaoyang.

Li Chaoyang carried the empty bag and walked into the alley.

Seeing the long-unseen front door, I gently knocked on it.

The person who opened the door was his own father.

"Chaoyang, you're finally back! Come inside quickly. Grandma has been thinking about you and just wants to see you. She's on her last breath now, so please come inside."

"Dad, it's so late, why aren't you all asleep yet?"

"Your grandma is dying. It's been two days and two nights. She's just barely hanging on, unable to breathe or swallow. But she keeps calling your name."

Li Chaoyang followed her into the house and saw his grandmother lying in the room with the light on.

Dad walked up to Grandma and said to her.

"Mom, wake up! Your eldest grandson is back to see you."

Li Chaoyang walked to his grandmother's bedside and held her hand.

Grandma's hands are now so withered and dry that they look unrecognizable.

He was so thin he looked like skin and bones.

Her complexion still looked rosy.

"Grandma, I haven't eaten or drunk anything for days, but I just want to see you."

"Grandma, it's me, Li Chaoyang. I've come back to see you."

After Li Chaoyang finished speaking, Grandma's eyelids twitched, but she still didn't open them.

Everyone knew that Grandma must have overheard Li Chaoyang's words.

That's why my eyelids twitched.

"Grandma, I've come back to see you!"

Li Chaoyang repeated it two or three times.

Grandma seemed to have calmed down; her eyelids twitched again, and then she remained still.

Li Chaoyang's father came over and placed his finger near the old lady's nose.

He said this to the relatives beside him.

"Hurry up and dress Mom, she's about to die."

Immediately afterwards, the family members in the house began to shed tears.

Li Chaoyang also knew that his grandmother was really gone, leaving him forever.

She lay on her grandmother's body and burst into tears.

The older brother came over and helped Li Chaoyang up, so that Li Chaoyang could calm down.

Li Chaoyang calmed down and asked his brother.

"What exactly is wrong with Grandma? Why don't we take her to the hospital?"

“Grandma doesn’t have any serious illness, she’s just getting old and can’t withstand the elements anymore. Even a cold is a blow to her.”

"I was fine before, but the temperature fluctuated a lot recently, and I caught a cold and fell ill."

“Li Chaoyang, don’t be too sad. Grandma is actually a kind old woman. She will definitely go to a good place.”

Li Chaoyang would unconsciously shed tears.

She gently wiped away her tears with her hand.

I feel that a person's life is really short.

I used to think that my grandma was not far away from me.

Seeing my grandmother now, she truly seems isolated from the world.

I feel a sense of loss as they leave forever.

After Li Chaoyang's mother finished dressing her grandmother, she came over and asked Li Chaoyang.

How is your wife doing now? Is she about to give birth?

"Yes, otherwise he would have wanted to come back with me, but because of her pregnancy, we couldn't let him come back."

"Actually, Mom knows you're quite busy, but your grandma just misses you, and she just can't swallow this."

0 ... 0

"Look, just now, when he heard you speak, his eyelids even twitched. He finally swallowed his anger."

Li Chaoyang knew his grandmother was gone, but he still had to face the things that needed to be faced.

I hope my parents are both in good health.

"Mom, you and Dad are in good health, don't overwork yourselves. You're retired now, so don't do these side jobs anymore. How much money do you think you can make?"
