Lunch was eaten in the main room, Aunt Luo didn't serve the table, and the three men drank wine and chatted while eating. To be precise, Yan Yishuai and Luo Gen chatted, while Bao Sheng listened.
Asked how many children the Luo family has, Luo Genfa sighed: "Although the people in the backing village are all relatives, our family has always been thin, and in my generation, it is even more childless."
"I'm sorry, Director Luo." Yan Yishuai apologized quickly.
Luo Genfa waved his hand: "It's nothing, life goes by anyway, especially as you get older, these things are taken lightly. The village is all from the same clan, and when the day comes, there won't be no one to send."
"You and aunt are still young, so you are thinking too far ahead." Yan Yishuai picked up the wine cup and said, "Come on, let's go one by one."
After another glass of wine, a blush appeared on his sharp face. After taking a bite of food, he asked, "How did you get Erdan's ears?"
"The gas tank is shaking." Luo Genfa said, "This child had a hard life. He lost his father when he was a child. When he was sixteen or seventeen years old, he went to the city to learn how to cook. After learning the craft, he found a job as a chef in a restaurant. During those years,
He made some money, although it wasn't much, but he could still save enough to marry a housewife. Who would have thought that the gas tank in the kitchen exploded and his ears were broken. Fortunately, he was not in the kitchen at the time, otherwise this little kid would
Life is at risk. But the chef can’t do it anymore, so he comes back to farm. If there is a wedding or funeral in someone’s family in the village, ask him to come over and cook, so he can barely survive.”
"This should be considered a work-related injury. The hotel didn't pay for medical treatment?" Yan Yishuai asked.
"It doesn't look good, so I gave him some money." Luo Genfa said, "Unfortunately, his mother, who has a weak body, is suddenly ill. The money is not enough to buy her medical treatment and medicine, and she also has to pay a lot of money."
.”
"Where's my wife? Have you married her?" Yan Yishuai asked again.
Luo Genfa shook his head and sighed: "I am already poor and have some problems, so it is difficult to marry."
"It's a pity." Yan Yishuai smacked his tongue, "You're so young and your ears don't work, so it's really hard to find a partner."
"Are you all married?" Luo Genfa brought the topic to the two men sitting there.
Yan Yishuai chuckled: "I'm ashamed to say that our special case team are all bachelors."
"Isn't it normal for people in the city to marry late?" Luo Genfa raised the wine cup again, "Drink, drink."
After having lunch for nearly an hour and a half, and drinking tea brewed by Aunt Luo and chatting for more than 20 minutes after the meal, Yan Yishuai went to the toilet, and then he and Bao Sheng said goodbye and left.
The next two days were spent in peace again, but there were obviously fewer villagers wandering around. Even the few old people who gathered under the old locust tree in the center of the village all year round rarely came out.
At night, the village is as quiet as if there is no one around. Every house is closed and closed, and it seems that you can only feel at ease in your own house.
The recent excavation work has caused the archaeological team to go back to rest early. Only Luo Erdan and two aunts were left in the canteen preparing ingredients for tomorrow's breakfast.
The three of them had a clear division of labor. Luo Erdan chose the vegetables, one of the aunts kneaded the noodles, and the other soaked the beans to make soy milk in the morning. The two of them chatted wordlessly while working.
Working until nearly ten o'clock, Luo Erdan washed the vegetables for tomorrow morning, took off his apron, said hello to the aunts, and then went home.
The dark blue sky is dotted with stars, and a crescent moon hangs in the sky. The moonlight shines through the thin clouds surrounding it, making the continuous mountain peaks look even more distant.
The moon swirled from east to west, and the night became darker and darker. A black shadow sneaked to the entrance of the village like a ghost, looked around, and took out a small glass bottle.
"Hey, what are you doing?"
Before he had time to unscrew the bottle cap, the black shadow was startled by the scoundrel sound. Just when the small bottle was about to be released, someone grabbed his wrist and the bottle fell into the hands of another person.
Of course, it was not only the bottle that fell into his hands, but also the black shadow.
When the moon sets and the sun rises, the morning light falls on the stone sign at the entrance of the village. The rooster's crow breaks the silence of the small mountain village, and the smoke rises again.
The sky was bright, and just like in the past, the men carried hoes and farm tools to work in the fields, and the women went to the river to wash clothes together. The archaeological team also went up the mountain as usual to start a new day's work.
Since the resumption of work, the weather has been very good. Unfortunately, today, the weather is not good. The sun is still shining brightly in the morning, but it has disappeared in the afternoon. By three or four o'clock, it has become even more cloudy, and it is expected to rain heavily.
Qi Xiangzhou quickly organized people to take corresponding measures to prevent rain, and left two more people on duty on the mountain.
In the evening, the thick clouds were finally overwhelmed, thunder rolled, and heavy rain came. Big raindrops fell, and soon formed puddles of different depths on the ground.
A few minutes later, the rainstorm not only did not subside, but became more intense, with hail mixed in. Ice balls of various sizes mixed with rainwater hit the roof and windows of the prefabricated house, making a crackling sound.
Duanmo held the water glass in his hand and looked at the small white balls rolling down the window. He couldn't help but worry whether a hole would be smashed into the house.
A bolt of lightning split the dark sky, followed by a muffled thunder that sounded unexpectedly. The ultra-decibel thunder sounded in the ears, giving people the illusion that they would be struck at any time.
"Are you scared?" A big hand held the cup in her hand to prevent the water from spilling.
Duan Mo turned his head and met Lu Wuchuan's deep gaze: "No, even if it scares me, the thunder is too loud."
After saying that, he looked out the window and said worriedly: "It's raining and hailing, which makes Mu Yang miserable."
Lu Wuchuan raised his eyebrows: "This little difficulty is nothing to him."
Duanmo took a sip of water and said, "I don't know if Brother Yan and the others will be blocked by the rain on the road."
"Don't worry about this and that, just do your own thing." Lu Wuchuan said with a slight displeasure. Although he knew it was just a concern between colleagues, he felt uncomfortable hearing that she was worried about other men.
The hail came and went quickly, and although the rain was lightening, it had no intention of stopping. After dinner, it was still raining lightly.
At about eight o'clock in the evening, the rain finally stopped. The small mountain village was so quiet under the night, the moon poked its head out from the clouds, and the pitted ground shone with a cold light.
It was nearly ten o'clock when Jiang Muyang returned to the archaeological team camp. Even though he was wearing a rainproof jacket and hiking pants, he was still inevitably soaked by the heavy rain. He went back to the house to change clothes first, and then came out. Duanmo had already gone to the canteen to prepare his preparations.
The leftover food is hot.
In order not to disturb others' rest, only one LED light was turned on in the temporary conference room. Under the cold white light, Jiang Muyang was eating like a storm.
Duanmo was afraid that he would choke, so he pushed the soup bowl forward: "Slow down, take a sip of soup first."
Jiang Muyang drank the soup obediently, but before finishing the rest of the meal, he received a message on his phone.
