"You kid just came out of the cave again?" The old man saw Guan Ji not far away, stopped, turned his back and looked at it with a smile.

Guan Ji also immediately smiled: "Old man, don't think about scolding me, it's just dark." ”

The old man laughed, every time Guan Ji came out of the cave so late, although he was distressed Guan Ji's eyes and body, after all, he had to wear thick cotton clothes to enter the cave on dog days, and his eyes were consumed at night, but his mouth was a meal.

This time, he also quarreled with the juniors: "I, an old man, wish you lived in that cave." ”

He Baihe is the master of the restoration of the courtyard, has won the provincial and national craftsman spirit title, in 1950 when he came to Dunhuang, a stay is a Jiazi, a lot of repair methods for the cave murals are the first to eat crabs to eat, more than ten years ago after retirement by his son took back to Shanghai to enjoy the joy of family, did not stay a few months and accepted the re-employment back to Dunhuang, said to be re-employed, in fact, he was reluctant to stay in Dunhuang for a lifetime.

"Aren't you here tomorrow, why are you coming back tonight?" Guan Ji went up to support He Baihe, who was over eighty years old and had not very good legs.

"The symposium ended as early as the day before yesterday, but I was forced to stay for two nights, and I wanted to continue to keep me, but when I heard it, it was amazing, which clearly meant that I would not be allowed to come back, so I simply became a stubborn old man with a bad temper, and asked that person to let me come back with a straight face."

He Baihe shook his head and waved his hand, sighed, and looked dissatisfied with the second half of the trip, "What's the point of staying in that big city, there are cars coming and going every day, and there is nothing to see, it is better to go back to my Dunhuang, and you can go into the cave every day to see the murals and statues." ”

Guan Ji was silent, choosing not to speak, needless to say, this is the old man's filial grandson who feels sorry for his grandfather in his eighties, and he should have enjoyed the blessings of his children and grandchildren at an age that is still working hard in this Gobi, so he went to those leaders to talk about it, and the grandson wanted to take his grandfather back to enjoy filial piety and happiness, and no one could say anything, so he took advantage of this symposium to jointly do such a show.

The old man also knows that knowing his grandson's filial piety, it is also a good thing for his descendants to have filial piety, so he has been pretending to be deaf and dumb and has not blamed half a sentence.

"How much of the cave that your master was responsible for repairing is still unfinished?" He Baihe began to interrogate the situation of the cave.

These things, Guan Ji has always been in his heart: "More than 90 square meters of murals, the master has been repaired more than 70 square meters before leaving Dunhuang with a serious illness, last year the master died, I took over until now, there are still about seven square meters left to repair." ”

He Baihe nodded, suddenly paused, and patted Guan Ji's hand: "The girl who came from Beijing to collect wind is your master's daughter, right?" ”

Guan Ji replied: "It's her." ”

"Chunhua's biggest knot in this life is that she didn't grow up with her daughter, she gave her whole life to Dunhuang, after coming to Dunhuang in her twenties, the number of times she went home to reunite with her husband and daughter can be counted with ten fingers, and her daughter complains about her." He Baihe sighed, and there was a little empathy in his eyes with wind and sand and years, most of the people who came here and decided to stay were like this, and no one on either side could blame them.

"Did you take the girl to the cave to see it?"

Guan Ji fell into Old Man He's words, his expression sank a lot, and after coming back to his senses, he smiled at the corner of his mouth when he talked to the old man: "Old man, what you say, dare I not listen?" ”

He Baihe nodded with satisfaction: "Then I'll take a good test tomorrow for that girl." ”

After Guan sent He Baihe to the office building of the research institute, He Baihe refused to let him send it again, urging him to hurry back to eat something, take a bath and rest, and don't use the hands that treat the mural to hold his old man, it is overkill.

[Tell Chen Qiong that the old man will test her tomorrow. 】

There was no Chen Qiong's phone and no Chen Qiong's WeChat mail, standing in place and taking out his mobile phone to send a WeChat notification to Zhang Xiaomao, he put his mobile phone in his pocket and walked to the dormitory.
