Chapter 157: Omen of Death
His name is Yue Tong, a fifteen-year coal miner. There is a family that is not rich, but happy. With the money I have saved over the years, I bought a small property right house in a village near the mining area. The two children are also sent to school here, and the wife occasionally does some odd jobs at home for beaded jewelry processing, which not only subsidizes the family but also does not delay taking care of the family's three meals a day. Yue Tong's small life was comfortable and comfortable, and many workers expressed envy.
It was a warm day in March, and Yue Tong slept all morning, and didn't open his eyes until after eleven o'clock. Before he got out of bed, he shouted at the living room: "Xiao Li, I'm hungry!" ”
"Got it, got it, don't shout!"
His wife, Xiao Li, scolded her husband in her mouth, but still put down her work and walked to the bedroom.
With a smile on her face, she walked to the bed and looked at her honest husband.
"When you open your eyes, you are hungry, are you really a hungry ghost reincarnated?"
Xiao Li poked Yue Tong's forehead with her finger and said with a smile.
"It's my birthday today, can you not say such unlucky things? How happy I should be today, hehe, do you know what to do? ”
Yue Tong's eyes were full of instinctive desire of human nature, and he smiled at his wife Xiao Li's still charming figure, and then pointed to the warm quilt. The words were full of some hints, as a housewife, Xiao Li, who was not deeply involved in the world, her face turned red as soon as she "poofed".
"How do you think of a play? This kind of thing in broad daylight...... Can you just do it? ”
Xiao Li said with some embarrassment, this is also what Yue Tong likes about her the most, subtle and shy. In her thirties, she is still like a little girl, and she will be shy when it comes to husband and wife. Maybe such a woman is the one who makes men feel at ease.
"It's someone's birthday today! Just fulfill people's wishes, please, baby......"
Yue Tong dragged Xiao Li to the bed, but Xiao Li struggled and said, "The children will be out of school soon." ”
"Go lock the door and let them wait outside! If this wish of mine is not fulfilled, I may die without seeing my goal. ”
At that time, Yue Tong didn't know why he suddenly said such a sentence, and his wife Xiao Li immediately turned gloomy and blamed him for saying unlucky things.
"Phew! Bah! Bah! Who said such unlucky things on their birthday? Alright, alright, I'll grant your wish......"
Xiao Li had a shy smile on her face for a moment, and hurriedly ran to lock the door. Then, back to the bedroom, there was a happy exchange......
After some clouds and rain, Yue Tong looked at Xiao Li with a smile that his wish was satisfied.
"My second wish is ......"
"It's ready, two hundred skewers plus two pork kidneys!"
Yue Tong didn't say anything, and his wife Xiao Li had already reported what was prepared. Yue Tong smiled with relief, pecked a few times in his wife's ear, and then got up. There was a knock on the door, and the couple smiled awkwardly at each other.
At lunch, Xiao Li made four so-called "hard dishes" that she doesn't usually eat, and bought a big fruit cake. Then take out the prepared barbecue ingredients from the refrigerator. A pair of teenage children, salivating and staring at those.
"I'll go borrow an oven right away."
Yue Tong got up from the sofa as he spoke, ready to go out.
"Since you like barbecue so much, let's buy an oven another day."
Xiao Li said as she brought food out of the kitchen.
"This is the last time, and I won't need it anymore."
Maybe it was really destined in the dark, or maybe there was an inexplicable force driving invisibly, Yue Tong actually said another sentence that seemed unlucky. Next, his wife Xiao Li was again a burst of "Phew! Bah! Bah! At the same time, she silently prayed in her heart for God's blessing to keep her husband safe and smooth.
Soon, the electric kebab machine was borrowed.
Lunch that day was very happy, and the family gathered around and had a great time.
"Dad, we're going to replace wine with juice today, I wish you a happy birthday!"
The two children took their cups and stood up to bless their father.
"Haha, Dad's cup is also juice! I still have to go to work today, so I can't drink. Still, huh...... Can masturbate a string ......"
Yue Tong picked up the cup with one hand, picked up a handful of freshly baked skewers with the other, put it in his mouth, chewed a few bites, and quickly drank the juice and swallowed it.
"Oops! Slow down! ”
Xiao Li looked at her husband's eating and said worriedly.
"I'll have to eat more, or it won't be too late."
Yue Tong seemed to be very serious.
"What's too late? The night shift was twelve o'clock in the evening, and it was only one and twenty o'clock in the afternoon. ”
Xiao Li pointed to the clock on the wall and said disapprerovingly.
"I predicted that the phone would ring soon."
Yue Tong was more serious this time, his expression was very serious, and the speed of skewers and vegetables was suddenly much faster. Xiao Li kept shaking her head, always feeling that Yue Tong had too much inexplicability that day. About ten minutes later, there was still a strong aroma of meat from the barbecue machine, and Yue Tong was eating happily. Suddenly, his cell phone rang in his bedroom. Xiao Li hurriedly put down the dishes and chopsticks, got up and went over to help her husband get the phone.
"Hey, who's that?"
Yue Tong asked indistinctly with the meat in his mouth that had not yet been chewed.
"Yue Tong, I'm Lao Li! This is my new number. ”
The other party replied.
"Oh, Lao Li! You have changed your number, why did you change your voice and eyes? Why do you talk like a ghost with a high-pitched voice? Haha, joke, joke! ”
Yue Tong couldn't tell who it was at first glance, but after hearing the other party introduce himself, he made another joke. Indeed, Lao Li has been his co-worker for many years, and although the two have not had a deep friendship, they can't even hear the sound, right? That day, it was really weird.
"Come on, come and start work now. One of the brothers in the middle class died of his wife, one died of his own mother, and one died of his aunt, so there were several people missing. As you know, our task is daunting! So brother, please, can you do my brother a favor as the group leader? ”
Lao Li, who is the leader of the production team, is actually talking to Yue Tong in a pleading tone. Yue Tong is a kind and honest person, and his ears are the softest. Hearing such a plea, without saying a word, he got up and prepared to go to replace someone else.
"Hey, you're not full yet, are you?"
Xiao Li was worried that her husband was not full, so she said anxiously.
"Then I'll take these and eat them as I go. When I walked to the mine, I changed into work clothes, and then Lao Li gave another pre-job safety lecture, and the time was almost up, so I had to leave immediately. You guys have had a good meal, Xiao Li, take care of the children. ”
Yue Tong said and grabbed a handful of meat skewers from the oven, and hurriedly opened the door and went out. At that moment, his wife Xiao Li couldn't help but walk to the balcony, looking at the back of her husband downstairs stubbornly moving forward, and felt inexplicably sad. Seriously, she has spent more than ten years in worry. The work in the mines is indeed dangerous, and in their own words, "if you go to work today, you may not be able to see the sunrise tomorrow." ”
Seeing Yue Tong gradually moving away, Xiao Li returned to the table but no longer had an appetite. She was a little more worried than usual that day, as if there was a sign of death that day.
As fate would have it, in the evening, a bang came from the far side of the mine......
Xiao Li instantly threw away the processing odds in her hand and rushed downstairs.
