Chapter 045: Quiet
In the evening, some people went to eat the so-called dragon meat, and Dong Xiaokui nested at home to eat instant noodles. I finished my diary as usual, and then used my mobile phone to check the weather forecast. The weather forecast only said that the sky would be sunny and the day after tomorrow would be cloudy, and it did not say that heavy rain was coming.
Dong Xiaokui couldn't help but suspect that she was nervous. However, Xiao Xu and the leader of the archaeological team seem to have concerns in this regard. She couldn't help frowning, her heart became more and more uneasy, and between her breathing, her chest still ached faintly.
Perhaps, I should go back and go to the hospital first, I can't hide my illness and avoid medical treatment, so that I can't stay with him. However, before going to the hospital, get some rest. I didn't sleep well during this time, and I always didn't sleep deeply.
So, before everyone came back, Dong Xiaokui had already packed everything and lay down on the bed. In fact, lying in bed does not mean that you can fall asleep. She still doesn't feel sleepy, so most of the time she plays with her mobile phone and uses her phone to read information. I was tired of watching, I looked at my phone again, and looked at the photos in my phone, and it was Xu Zhonglin who was all saved. There are people who candid pictures of him sleeping, there are people wearing an apron, there are pictures of him with monkeys, and so on.
Looking at those photos, seeing his soft face, gentle smile, and scenes from the past, my heart is soft and warm. Dong Xiaokui felt satisfied, hugging the pillow, as if lying on his chest. And so he fell into a deep sleep.
It was a good night's sleep. At dawn, I woke up to a loud noise. The noise came from the old man Li in the village, who was scolding his cat for sleeping lazily all day long and not catching mice. Someone next to him was saying, "Uncle, my cat doesn't catch rats anymore." You see, the rats have been running rampant lately, pulling up the line and running. ”
"yes, these cats are getting lazier and lazier, and the rats are going to turn the sky upside down." Someone else is chiming in.
Dong Xiaokui felt very bored when she heard these parents' shortcomings, and secretly thought: How can the current cat catch a mouse? Most are lazy to get home. No matter how bad it is, it's pet cats, such as monkeys and the like. Anyway, the monkey guy is pampered, I wonder if he will be scared when he sees a mouse? However, the monkey seems to have a very strong aura, and like its owner, it should not be afraid of rats.
However, maybe I'm just in love with the house and the black. Because it was raised by Xu Zhonglin.
Dong Xiaokui thought wildly, washed his face with well water, and ate two steamed buns indiscriminately. I feel that the weather forecast is not deceiving, and the weather is really clear. Blue sky and white clouds, green mountains and green waters, and the weather is warm. And because it was a weekend, the children did not go to school, the older ones helped weed in the fields, and the younger ones played in the village.
Dong Xiaokui walked around, and felt that his chest didn't seem to hurt so much. It's as if all the anomalies of the previous day were hallucinations.
Because of the good weather, the mood of the members of the archaeological team was also high, and the work was carried out as scheduled. Dong Xiaokui also brought a camera and a voice recorder to the scene to take a look. The ruins have been excavated by 30 square meters more than the day before, but they can still only be seen as living quarters, and nothing substantial can be seen. However, it is very efficient to excavate 30 square meters and clean it. However, the possibility of this relic is still debated by several parties, and the final answer can only be found by waiting for further excavation to find strong evidence.
However, Dong Xiaokui believes that even if she does not find an answer, such an argument has great value in itself, and she listens carefully and benefits a lot from this controversy.
Use a voice recorder to write them down one by one. She was so excited that she almost forgot all the discomfort and weirdness.
As soon as I was so busy, I was busy until four o'clock, and when I returned to the house, I didn't care about eating a bite of food, so I immediately recorded some valuable things and put them in the corresponding folders. In this way, she was busy for more than half an hour, stretching her waist, and found that it was already more than four o'clock, and when she looked up at the house, the sky had darkened, and the sunset was hanging on the mountain. At first glance, it is as red as blood, and it is a bit shocking. The middle-aged man who did the photography in the program team was bypassing the stacks of grass stacks piled up like hills in the courtyard, and was shooting the scenery of green mountains and eyebrows with the remnant sun.
Dong Xiaokui was free now, so he started cooking, and the people from the archaeological team came back. Xiao Xu and Lao Chen both have to cook specialty dishes, and Dong Xiaokui has no choice but to help on the side. A room full of people continued to talk about the ruins. In the evening, I ate wild vegetables from the mountains, with the fragrance of the earth. There are also fish caught in the river, which are delicious and abnormal.
The archaeological team brought their own wine, so it was not lively. In the evening, while drinking and chatting, everyone seemed to come up with a unique skill, discussing history, witty remarks, and the media people who lived across from each other also came over to join the discussion. A few children in the village were also listening here, very seriously, with a look on their faces that seemed to understand whether they understood or not.
Perhaps because of the drinking, everyone seemed to be very happy, and they argued until late at night, and then they dispersed. Dong Xiaokui couldn't sleep, thinking about sorting out the harvest of this night.
In fact, she is very grateful to God for letting her meet Xu Zhonglin, although there is a lot of pressure, but in this pressure, she is growing rapidly. It turns out that life is really wonderful, and while encountering difficulties, it also means that you will get more.
Dong Xiaokui thought of this journey, and there was a full sense of steadfastness in her heart. She had ten fingers flying, and she sorted everything out about the same, and looked carefully, it was already one o'clock in the morning, stretched her waist, and washed her feet with cold water. At night, the moonlight is blurry, as if through a layer of frosted glass. It seems that there has been rain in the past two days, it should not be tomorrow, and the weather forecast says that there will be no rain.
Dong Xiaokui secretly judged, lay down on the bed after washing her feet, searched with her mobile phone, and did not see rain in Aba Prefecture. Maybe there's something wrong with what little bit of knowledge you have. Although the weather forecast station can be called a weather estimation station, it is not bad.
Boredom, in a drowsiness, the phone suddenly rang. The ringtone is the melodious "Fruits of Summer", the mother's favorite one. Dong Xiaokui was excited, her heart sank, and she was afraid that something would happen. Because my mother slept well, how could she call herself in the early hours of the morning.
She picked it up in a hurry and asked eagerly, "Mom, what's wrong?" What's wrong? ”
"Not really. Everything was fine at home. But I just can't sleep over and over, and I want you to call you in the mountains for some reason. I don't know how these days. I can't sleep at night, and I'm very sleepy during the day. ”
"Mom, don't think so much at night, just sleep well, or drink a little plum wine. No matter how bad it is, your habit of taking a nap at noon will be slowed down for a while to see if you can fall asleep at night. Dong Xiaokui heard her mother say that she just couldn't sleep, so she breathed a sigh of relief and comforted her mother.
"Well, I know. Then I'll try. Maybe it's sleeping too much during the day. This man is old and sleeps less. I used to feel like your grandmother didn't sleep. Now I know that people are old and sleep less. Mom sighed and said, "Perhaps, I'll be able to see your dad soon." ”
"Mom." Dong Xiaokui is a little fried, she doesn't like her mother to mention these things, just like she tries her best to find an excuse not to attend the funeral of her relatives, if she doesn't see it, she can think that they are still there and have never left. She is the one who is afraid of losing, and the pain of losing her father, she hardly wants to go through it again. Because of this, Dong Xiaokui began to cherish every valuable person in her life, and she didn't want to make things stiff and make everyone unhappy until she had to.
"Okay, Mom won't talk about that. Your suggestion is good, Mom won't take a nap tomorrow and see if she can fall asleep tomorrow night. Mom sensed her irritability and immediately changed the subject.
Dong Xiaokui said "um", but she was not at ease, and continued to tell her mother not to work too hard, not to think too much, and to help her take care of the child in the future, and also help Xiaohuai take care of the child.
Mom laughed, and then said, "Xiaokui, although I rarely care about you. But you have the same temperament as your father, all the way to the dark. As for Zhonglin's child, I don't look bad. But after all, it's a powerful portal, so you still have to weigh it yourself. Mom is always afraid that you will be young and suffer a loss, after all, not everyone can be like your father. ”
"Mom, I know. Zhong Lin is also a responsible person. You have to trust your daughter's vision. Dong Xiaokui's tone was naughty. Thinking of Xu Zhonglin, my heart is warm. If it was in the past, she might have wavered because of her mother's words, but now, she won't have that kind of trouble.
"It's up to you. Whoever does ** wants his children to live well. Mom said slowly, it was a quiet night around her. Those words hit Dong Xiaokui's heart word by word. Once upon a time, she often fantasized that her mother could care about her. But in those years, the grief of losing a loved one was too heavy, so that my mother was always immersed in her own sadness, ignoring the surroundings, and not caring about Dong Xiaokui's sisters and brothers. Dong Xiaokui at that time, how could he have thought that there would be such a day in the future, and there would be such a soft moment between mother and daughter.
At that time, she just wanted to grow up quickly, find someone who could live her life like that, have her own children and husband, so that she would not be lonely, and she would not be too difficult to walk alone.
Although it is not the first time I have heard my mother talk to herself so softly, I don't know why, her heart is extraordinarily soft, and even her nose is sour. She tried her best to stabilize her emotions and said, "Thank you, Mom." I'll be back in a few days. You have to take good care of yourself, and if you are not feeling well, don't open a store. It's also okay to take a few days off. ”
"I see. It's cool in the mountains, you take good care of yourself. Mom said.
Dong Xiaokui agreed, and told her mother, and the two talked for a while, and what they said was the usual intimate words between mother and daughter. Later, when I was about to hang up the phone, my mother suddenly said: "Xiaokui, there is one more thing, the monkey doesn't eat much, always sleeps, and is a little irritable when he wakes up. ”
"The monkey is sick?" Dong Xiaokui couldn't help asking. ......
