"A living person just disappeared? Even the body can't be found?"

Xu Dong felt very uncomfortable.

"It's all fate!"

Aunt Liao sighed.

Their family just received the message from Liang Hao yesterday. Thanks to his uncle, they didn't encounter any danger. They got through this stage.

Xu Dong nodded, and then signaled his wife to take Aunt Li back to the room to rest. Xueli is too far away from Yanjing. Even if they want to go back, there is no need to rush.

After Aunt Li left, Xu Ma rushed over after hearing the news.

With the complete decline of the flu epidemic, the old couple, plus Xiao Yuer and Xiao Baozi, moved out of the greenhouse at the beginning of the month, officially ending their quarantine life that lasted for more than half a year.

"What happened?"

"Mom, Uncle Li died in the line of duty."

Xu Dong replied.

"When did it happen?"

"Just last month, it was quite sudden."

Mrs. Xu patted her chest and said, "Fortunately, I got your sister and the others out. This time it was really too dangerous. I don't know what happened to the old house in Yanjing?"

"The house should still be there, but the basement must be full of water. It needs to be thoroughly cleaned before people can live in it."

"Forget it, Xueli is pretty good here. Let's not go back for the time being."

Mrs. Xu said with lingering fear.

"Okay, I'll listen to you." Xu Dong replied.

When it was evening, Aunt Li's mood calmed down a little. Xu Dong took the opportunity to discuss returning to China with the other party, but he didn't expect to be rejected by the other party.

"Old Xu, your uncle Li's body hasn't even been found. Why do you think we should return to China?"

"Didn't the above say there would be a memorial service?"

Yang Lina reminded quickly.

"The person is gone. What's the point of doing these empty things? We are not going anywhere. We will settle down in Xueli in the future."

Mrs. Li said disheartened.

"It's okay not to go back. Then how do you deal with your property in China?"

Xu Dong asked.

Yanjing is a sad place after all, so it's better not to go back.

"Old Xu, I'm in no mood to deal with these things now. Can you help me sell the house in Yanjing? Including all the appliances and furniture."

Aunt Li pleaded.

Xu Dong nodded: "What about personal belongings?"

"There are not many personal belongings at home. Before coming here, Lao Li and I have already discussed that we will settle down in Sydney in the future. All valuable personal belongings are brought here."

"Okay, I will help you sell the house in Yanjing as soon as possible."

"The price can be sold at a lower price. After getting the money, I want to buy a house in the community opposite your house."

Aunt Li thought a lot last night.

Before her husband died, he specifically told her that if something unexpected happened, she should move next to Lao Xu's house, so that the two families can be neighbors in the future.

Yang Lina quickly comforted her, "Sister Du, don't worry, it won't be too late to move out after the New Year."

"No, I want to settle down as soon as possible."

Mother Xu interrupted, "Dongzi, Xiao Du is buying a house, please help me find out."

"Got it." Xu Dong nodded.

...

A week later, Uncle Li's old house was dealt with, and Xu Dong "bought" it with his own money. The disaster was not over yet, so who would buy a house?

Half a month later, Aunt Li bought a new house. Like Lao Fang, she bought a high-priced second-hand house, and the two families even lived in the same building.

At the end of October, a special person was sent from the police system to deliver Uncle Li's death certificate, a Class A medal of honor and related relics.

Aunt Li held the medal of honor and burst into tears again.

A few days later, Xu Dong unexpectedly received a registered letter from China, and the sender turned out to be Uncle Li, who had passed away three months ago.

A note also came with the letter.

Xu Dong finally understood the whole story after reading it.

It turned out that the letter was found by Uncle Li's subordinates when they were sorting Uncle Li's belongings. They mailed the letter according to the address on the envelope.

Finally, it came to him after traveling across the ocean.

Xu Dong took a deep breath and slowly opened the envelope.

"Xiao Xu:

(They say the dead are the greatest, so let me call you 'Xiao Xu' for the last time. To be honest, even though you are a big shot now, I still feel more comfortable calling you 'Xiao Xu'.)

When you receive this letter, your uncle Li will no longer be alive. You don't have to be sad. Even if I survived this flood, I will not live long.

During a mission last year, due to logistical errors, many of us drank contaminated radioactive water by mistake.

God is unfair. There were a total of 15 people in the group, and I was the only one who got cancer afterwards, and the cancer cells have spread, which means that there is no hope.

I don't know if it was caused by the radioactive water.

I have been hiding this from your aunt. After all, telling her will only make her more worried. I have actually made up my mind to stay in the capital this time.

No matter what, I will earn the title of 'family of martyrs' for your aunt and Li Tao, so that they can rely on each other in the future and don't have to worry about being bullied."

Seeing this, Xu Dong finally understood the other party's outrageous behavior on the bus.

How can this be a farewell?

It was clearly a farewell forever.

No wonder Uncle Li was so excited at the time, which was very different from his usual behavior. After all, the other party had always presented himself as a "rough guy".

Next, Xu Dong turned his attention back to the letter. Uncle Li was still nagging, but most of the content was about the same old topics.

It was nothing more than taking care of Aunt Li and Li Tao.

At the end of the letter, Uncle Li asked Xu Dong to help tell his daughter that he had opened an account in Daxia Bank, which contained his inheritance to her.

The money was not much, but at least it was a token of his love.

Uncle Li finally expressed his feelings in the letter.

He had lived for most of his life, and he was considered a person of some importance in front of and behind people. He was very satisfied. The only regret was that he was not close to his daughter.

He did not blame his daughter or his ex-wife.

He only blamed God for arranging a wrong marriage.

Xu Dong put down the letter, and a lot of insights suddenly came to his mind.

Life is impermanent, so we should cherish the people in front of us, so as not to be like Uncle Li, who could not make up for the regrets between father and daughter until the end of his life.

At night, before going to bed.

Xu Dong gave Uncle Li's suicide note to his wife to read through, and then discussed with her whether to tell Aunt Li about the suicide note.

Uncle Li may have forgotten, he did not mention this in the letter.

Yang Lina's attitude was clear: "Needless to say, this is Uncle Li's last suicide note, it is reasonable to pass it to Sister Du."

"But this letter is written specifically for me."

Xu Dong emphasized.

"You are a stubborn person, do you understand that you should act in an emergency? Uncle Li has been gone for almost three months, and Sister Du has been blaming herself. After reading this letter, maybe she will feel better."

"Uncle Li's death was a complete accident, what is there to blame yourself for?"

"You are not the person involved, how do you know Sister Du's thoughts? Besides, I think if Uncle Li is still alive, he will definitely agree."
