108. Buy a ticket to go back to Beijing and go home to see
Professor Yang, who returned to the hotel, sat in his room deep in thought. After a long time, Bai Ruoxuan knocked on the door. He followed Lao Zhang to the county's archaeological site, thinking about what he could do with their early summer investigation activities.
Not much help.
"Professor, you are back."
Professor Yang looked up at him and said nothing.
Bai Ruoxuan said hesitantly: "I went to the county's construction site to inspect it, and some of the unearthed objects looked like they were from Houyin. How about you... go and have a look too?"
The ancient tombs on the mountain are said to be from the early summer, but the relics unearthed in the county are from the Hou Yin Dynasty. Bai Ruoxuan thought this might be a clue.
Professor Yang took a booklet, which was the information he collected about the ancient tombs in Houshan. Looking through it now, he felt a little regretful.
"No, let's leave those to the students to study."
Bai Ruoxuan's brows were full of worry, and after a while he said, "Are you hungry? I'll buy you something to eat?"
"I won't eat. If you are hungry, go and eat by yourself."
Professor Yang seemed to have no interest in anything and was very decadent.
Bai Ruoxuan was helpless and had no choice but to turn around and go out.
When the door was closing, Professor Yang suddenly stopped him: "Ruoxuan, buy a plane ticket and we will go back as soon as possible."
Bai Ruoxuan was a little surprised, but he didn't say anything more. He said, "Yeah, I'll do it." He closed the door and went out.
Lingye didn't inquire too much. He only learned from the occasional chat with the little ghosts that Professor Yang's investigation team had returned to Beijing, although the archaeological work in Gengzi County was still continuing.
But she remembered another thing. After dinner that day, Lingye found the second master in the backyard.
The weather was getting hotter and hotter, so Zhao Yu built a simple bamboo shed for the second master under the tree to prevent him from being exposed to the sun.
The trees are expelled from insects, the second master is rocking in the rocking chair, listening to small songs, and the gentle breeze blowing from the clear lake makes it very pleasant.
When Lingye came, the second master was humming a tune with his eyes closed. She walked up and sat down beside him, gently pushing the Grand Master's rocking chair and fanning him.
The second master opened his eyes and saw her. He was very happy and said with a crooked smile, "You're here."
The weather has been unbearably hot these days, but he felt relieved when he saw her, and he couldn't explain why.
Seeing that he was in a good mood, Lingye said casually, "Second Master, it's almost the Dragon Boat Festival. Why don't you go back to Chu's house to have a look?"
Calculating carefully, it has been more than two months since the second master left Beijing at the beginning of the year. Not to mention that he has not returned home in the meantime, and he has not even made a phone call.
The eldest son and his wife of the Chu family have watched the second master grow up since they were young. There is an old saying that "the sister-in-law is more important than the mother, and the brother-in-law is the son." Although the second master's biological father, Chu Danian, was still alive when he was young, and his biological mother was not kicked out, but in the end
The uncle and his wife personally watched him grow up. They taught him how to speak and walk, took care of him when he had a cold, provided him with clothes and food, and did not miss a single thing.
Just like your own parents.
It has been two months since I left home and I haven't contacted my family. Ling Ye felt that it was really inappropriate and wanted to take advantage of this Dragon Boat Festival to let the second master go back and have a look.
The second master suddenly sat up, his mouth tightened, and he said aggrievedly: "Are you going to drive me away?"
She was stunned. What the hell was this?
Lingye explained helplessly: "No, I just want you to go home and spend the holidays with your family. After the holidays, you can come back if you want."
The second master's face was sullen, with displeasure written all over it, and even the joy he had felt just now was gone.
"My family doesn't celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival."
Ling Ye was choked by these words. How could the Chu family fail to pass such a traditional festival?
"Second Master, please stop making trouble. I just want you to go back and stay with the Chu family's uncle and his wife for a few days. You don't have to be so...rejected."
She said softly, but the second master's eyes widened, angry and sad.
"You...you actually said that I was making trouble? Where did I make trouble? It's obvious that you don't want me to stay here!"
Lingye's eyelids jumped. How many times do you want her to emphasize that she is really not driving you away? If she didn't want you to stay here, why did she have to find you in the first place?
She stopped talking and waited quietly for the second master to calm down.
He stopped shaking the fan, and she was still trying to light a fire.
Seeing that Lingye ignored him, the second master secretly glanced at her out of the corner of his eye. Seeing that she still had no intention of talking to him, her cheeks began to bulge with anger, so she lay down and turned away to vent her anger.
Extremely childish.
After two breaths, the atmosphere between the two was still very stiff, forcing others not to get close.
Finally, the second master couldn't bear it anymore and turned to look at Ling Ye angrily.
"I was wrong!"
His voice was loud and powerful, but his words sounded like coquettishness.
The second master lowered his head, like a little puppy that had fallen out of favor, so pitiful.
Lingye felt so helpless that he felt confused at the bottom of his heart, but then he thought again, he couldn't just compromise like this.
She still said in a cold voice: "What's wrong?"
"I...shouldn't have disobeyed you, shouldn't have said you wanted to drive me away."
After hearing this, Lingye felt his head hurt, "What else?"
The second master was holding a breath in his chest.
He pursed his lips and said, "I didn't want to go home in the first place, why do you have to ask me to go back?"
The second master felt that he was not wrong on this point.
He just wants to stay with Dong Lingye at Fang Xiangshi. What’s wrong with not going home during the Dragon Boat Festival? He also wants to spend the Dragon Boat Festival with you for the first time.
Lingye held his forehead, why is this child so stubborn?
Isn’t it normal to go home to spend time with your loved ones during the holidays?
"I think the eldest son and his wife of the Chu family miss you. You should go back and stay with them."
After saying this, there was a silence in the air, so quiet that Lingye thought that the second master had not heard it or had already figured it out and agreed.
"Then I'll go back to accompany them. Who will accompany you?"
This voice was full of magnetism, but also filled with despair, like an electric current, it penetrated directly into Lingye's heart.
Lingye looked into his eyes blankly, and after a while, he looked away in panic.
"You...you have been with me at Fang Xiangshi for two months..." Just go home for a few days, it doesn't matter.
Even before he finished speaking, the second master understood the meaning.
He rolled his eyes and said, "Okay, I'll call my brother when I go back later and ask him to send someone to pick me up. Is that okay?"
She looked up and saw that there was no displeasure on the second master's face, she just thought that he had listened to the advice.
Lingye smiled and said, "Okay."
The second master stood up and left, saying that he wanted to go back and make a phone call. Lingye did not stop him, and felt very comforted. The second master has grown up, right?
Turning around, Lingye didn't see Er Ye's bright eyes.
After returning to the room, Erye took out his mobile phone and called home.
The person who answered the phone was an executive, and he was extremely happy when he heard the second master's voice.
"Second Master, you finally called home. It's been how many days, but still-"
Second Master: "Lao Gao, go and call my sister-in-law. I have something to tell her."
He interrupted the senior executive's words, and the senior executive didn't care. They just felt at ease in their hearts. Their second master raised his children carefully, and the family was afraid that he would suffer hardships outside.
"Hey, okay, I'll call you."
After saying that she asked the servant to call someone, the eldest lady Gongyang Wanjun went downstairs.
