After a big boss came to Liangshui Village, the village chief was smiling every day. He also took the initiative to find the village party secretary to make a table of their village's agricultural and sideline products, preparing to introduce them to the big boss.
The rumored big boss never showed up, but Assistant Qu beside the big boss did show up. He was really reviewing the agricultural and sideline products carefully, and he brought an expert with him. As for the real big boss, he was always behind the scenes. The village chief understood that the rich big bosses in the city did not behave in a certain way, and might need others to lead by example.
After the village chief met Qu Zhu, he received them in the idle reception hall in the village, and Shan Qihuan officially lived in the village in the name of inspection.
Qu Zhu took the lead in everything. The village secretary and the village chief called Qu Zhu "Boss Qu". The real big boss would use a telescope every day to watch the place where the archaeologists lived and see them coming in and out, as if he was a national leader inspecting their work. However, he would never disturb their work and would never come closer no matter what.
Their archaeological team was established rather hastily. Although it is a national team with limited funds, it naturally cannot be compared with large companies. In some things, they all try to increase revenue and reduce expenditure, saving as much as possible. So to outsiders, the archaeological team is really poor. In Shan Qihuan's eyes, the archaeological team is not only poor, but also hard-working, working even harder than the 996 hours at his modern Internet company. In all these days, he has not seen these people take a rest.
His wife's cheeks have become thinner. How can she survive if she eats instant noodles every day? He had worked so hard to gain some weight some time ago.
But they both need to calm down now.
Director Liang, the person in charge of the Western Han Dynasty Tomb, took some time to find Qu Zhu. Even she thought that Qu Zhu was the real boss who delivered the supplies to them, until Qu Zhu said he was not the boss, the misunderstanding ended. Then Director Liang met Shan Qihuan alone in the reception room, who was sitting by the electric heater with a tissue pressed against his nose.
She had thought that this big boss who had always been behind the scenes would be very arrogant, but unexpectedly he was quite warm and friendly to her. Moreover, she had specially checked and found that this person was not just a big boss.
"Hello, Director Liang. Are you cold? Come in and sit down!" Shan Qihuan had never been so enthusiastic towards anyone in his life, as if he had met his own mother. No, even his own mother had never enjoyed this treatment.
Director Liang was also flattered. Shan Qihuan was young and handsome. If he was twenty years younger, she would be shy.
She reached out and shook hands with Shan Qihuan: "Hello, Mr. Shan."
"Director Liang, you can just call me Xiao Dan." Shan Qihuan took the initiative to get closer to Director Liang.
Director Liang said kindly: "Okay."
Shan Qihuan decorated the reception room into his own personal office, which was quite exquisite. The kettle was bubbling with steam as he made a cup of tea for Director Liang.
"I brought the tea myself. Please try it."
Director Liang tasted it and said, "It smells good."
Shan Qihuan said: "If you like it, you can take some back later."
Director Liang smiled and said, "No, why would I take your things? Our archaeological team has already accepted the materials you donated recently. If I take them again, I will be criticized."
Speaking of this, Shan Qihuan became more energetic: "Those are actually not worth mentioning. You are doing homework in such a cold place, which is very hard. It even rained yesterday. I just helped a little bit to the best of my ability."
Director Liang was not stupid. She had asked Dean Fang about Shan Qihuan before she came. Matters like receiving supplies would still be reported to superiors. Donations from the public were acceptable. She also knew about the relationship between Shan Qihuan and Shen Yuhan before she came. Little Shen went in and out with them every day, but she had never heard him mention him. Little Shen didn't have the temper of a young master. Everyone just thought that his family was a little richer than ordinary people, but they didn't expect him to have such a fortune.
Director Liang smiled and said, "You are doing this for Xiao Shen, right?"
Shan Qihuan was not embarrassed when his purpose was exposed. Instead, he smiled and said, "He told me and came over. He doesn't usually travel far. I am worried about him."
Director Liang thought that even though the man came, he didn't meet Xiao Shen. She was also an experienced person, so she smiled and said, "Did the couple have a fight? You came yesterday, but he didn't ask for leave to come and see you."
"You've seen all of this, Director Liang. To be honest, we did have a small conflict, but it won't affect your work." Shan Qihuan quickly spoke for Shen Yuhan.
"That's not what I meant. It's hard for a judge to judge family affairs. It's better for you young people to talk it out if you have any problems." Director Liang was not familiar with Shan Qihuan so he didn't say much. However, Shen Yuhan looked well-behaved and polite. He was responsible and conscientious every day. He was hardworking and never complained. His arrival added some fairy air to the archaeological team. She liked him very much, so she said a few words to him.
Shan Qihuan took out an envelope from his bag and said, "Could you please pass it to him for me later?"
Director Liang didn't expect that she would accept a batch of supplies and have to help with matchmaking. It turned out that he was waiting for her here: "Okay, I'll just help you deliver the letter, and I don't care about anything else." The supplies cannot be taken back. Her members praised the big boss for his generosity yesterday and today, which made her feel that the country's welfare is really too poor.
"Thank you, Director Liang." Shan Qihuan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Director Liang left his temporary luxurious office not long after sitting there. He thought that the young people nowadays are really creative. They all have mobile phones, but they still use the letter writing trick. It's just two steps away, can't they just deliver it themselves
It has to be said that Director Liang thought that Shan Qihuan's act of writing a letter to Shen Yuhan was quite romantic.
Tsk tsk, young people nowadays are just different.
Shen Yuhan was helping to check the engraving on a piece of jewelry today. It was so fine that he studied it with a magnifying glass for a long time, and his eyes felt sore. He put down the magnifying glass and looked up. Director Liang was looking at him with a smile.
He was a little surprised. Director Liang was usually very busy, so why did he come today? "Director Liang, why are you here?"
Director Liang said: "I have been working here for all these days and I have never asked you if you are tired. This is my negligence."
Shen Yuhan waved his hands and said, "It's not hard. You guys are much more tired than me being outside in the wind. I'm not cold here either, and Xiaoli and Brother Yan are helping me."
Director Liang smiled and said, "It doesn't matter if the progress is slow, but don't overwork yourself."
Shen Yuhan heard from others that Director Liang was usually a very serious person, but he didn't expect that he was quite gentle to him and nothing serious happened.
"I will." Shen Yuhan nodded. "Director Liang, do you have anything else to say?" She was usually very busy, so why was she standing here chatting with him now
Director Liang got to the point: "That big boss Shan outside is your boyfriend, right?"
Shen Yuhan's face was slightly red and his head was half lowered. His hair had grown longer recently, and a few strands of hair fell down with his movements, making him look quite elegant.
"Yes, has he caused trouble for our archaeological team?" Shen Yuhan looked at Director Liang nervously, "Director, he has no ill intentions."
"Look how nervous you are. I didn't say he had any bad intentions. I can't thank him enough. He asked me to pass on a letter to you." Director Liang finally took out the letter from Shan Qihuan and handed it to Shen Yuhan. "You young people."
Shen Yuhan was really blushing at this moment. Did Director Liang also know about their quarrel? Her husband was really something. Not only did he send the supplies with great fanfare, but he even asked Director Liang to help him send a letter. She didn't know what to say at this moment.
"Thank you, Director Liang." Shen Yuhan still accepted the letter.
There was a break after lunch, but he usually didn't rest much. He just wanted to find the burial objects corresponding to his brothers as soon as possible. However, the progress had been very slow so far as there were too many burial objects. The descendants of the Shen family did have a lot of wealth, which might have been the wealth accumulated by the Shen family for generations.
In fact, he didn't understand at all. Didn't the Shen family's son need to get married? According to the thickness of the wealth, it should be the accumulation of several generations. The Shen family trained him as an heir.
Perhaps this is the way to protect the brothers? Treat them as sons, never need them to marry, teach them to be independent, walk out of the backyard, and try to protect the secrets of the "brothers".
The notebook that Shen Yuhan saw last time was just the tip of the iceberg of the life of this "Brother Shen". In recent days, he has also seen a lot of burial objects, all of which reflect his colorful life. He has many friends, he also goes out to travel, and he manages his family business very well. In order to protect his identity as a brother, he never married in his life, but no one blames him. From all the little things, you can see that his family protects him.
If he had not seen the indulgence and freedom of modern people, Shen Yuhan would have immediately thought that such a free-range way of raising children was unorthodox. But he no longer does that. Instead, he envies the Shen family's brother who was born in such an environment. He lives a free and unrestrained life, without being confined to the backyard or having to get married.
Shen Yuhan looked at some of the burial objects and small items related to life at Shen Jiyu's site, and his thoughts were quietly changing.
The brothers retired to protect their son, so don’t they also want him to live a good life and not want him to get married
The few words left by Shen Jiyu did record that because of his death, the Shen family chose to withdraw from the court.
After a few days, Shen Yuhan's thoughts were actually changing quietly. He came here indeed to find answers, and his brothers also told him clearly that Shen Jiyu's carefree and unrestrained life was what they expected.
He found the direction to the answer.
Xiaoli and Yan Ge would rest on the folding beds inside at noon. Shen Yuhan couldn't sleep anywhere like them, so he took Shan Qihuan's letter and walked under the tree outside.
He gently tore open the envelope. There were only a few pages of light blue paper with a scent of perfume inside.
The person's name is .
Shan Qihuan's personality is reflected in his handwriting, which is majestic and extraordinary. Shen Yuhan's heart would beat wildly when looking at his handwriting. Counting the days since they separated, it has been five or six days. In the past, they would video chat and add WeChat every day after separation, but now there are only one message a day. After seeing this letter, Shen Yuhan found that her thoughts for him surged out like a tide.
His fingers holding the letter tightened slightly, and his eyes were filled with tears. Only after wiping away the tears could he see the words on the letter clearly.
Wife:
I always call you this in my heart. You are my wife and will be my only wife. Perhaps it is because we have never really separated since we got married, and I miss you all the time. In recent days, I have repeatedly thought about what we have done in the past six months or so.
I just want to tell you that these six months have been the most important and happiest days of my life. I have experienced the warmth of family and the feeling of being loved.
You said that ours was an arranged marriage, which I do not deny. However, as I got to know you better, I gradually no longer felt that it was an arranged marriage. I only thought that we were brought together because of love, and except for getting the marriage certificate, everything that happened afterwards was based on my personal wishes.
I have never told you seriously that I am attracted by your every move every day. When you laugh, I will be happy too, and in my heart I will be happier than when you laugh. When you cry, I will be sad too, and feel worse than you.
Not to mention the shortcomings brought to me by my original family, I have also reflected on myself and have a clearer understanding of myself. I am indeed not very good at expressing my feelings. I just think that giving you material things will make you happier, but obviously I was extremely wrong. I think I don’t understand you enough and don’t care about you enough.
Thank you for always tolerating my shortcomings. I don't know what kind of answer you are looking for, nor do I know what you have in your heart. If you are willing to talk, I am willing to listen. If you are not willing to talk, I can accept it. I have never thought that my partner will change. No one is more suitable to be my lover than you. Don't belittle yourself. You are the best in my eyes. No one is better than you.
In my eyes, you have advantages in every aspect, and I am the only one who has shortcomings.
Your husband hopes that you will come home soon and stop suffering outside. I would feel bad for you.
Your husband Shan Qihuan
This is a letter full of stickiness between the lines. Shen Yuhan has also witnessed the straightforward expression of modern people. It is really not subtle at all. However, Shen Yuhan feels warm in his heart.
During the few days he stayed in the archaeological team, he regularly reported safety to Shan Qihuan, and Shan Qihuan would reply with an "I know". He initially thought that Shan Qihuan had become even colder towards him, but when he saw him appear in Liangshui Village, his mood improved since yesterday.
He is obsessed with appearances and can't figure it out.
Her husband had no intention of breaking up with her.
After reading the letter, Shen Yuhan rubbed his slightly cold hands and asked into the air, "Is the bodyguard here?"
A voice came from behind the tree, and a tall figure appeared in front of Shen Yuhan: "Here, Mr. Shen, what can I do for you?"
Shen Yuhan knew that her husband would definitely send someone to protect him: "Please help me pass a message later, from Shan Qihuan."
He turned back into the house, found paper and pen, and began to write.
He has been using modern pens these days and he has gotten used to it, but he still prefers using a brush.
Forget it, let’s leave it like this for now.
He wrote a line on the paper, folded it and put it into the envelope that Shan Qihuan handed to him. He had already taken out the letter and put it in his pocket.
After the bodyguard left with the letter, he went back to work. The sooner he finished, the sooner he could go home.
He couldn't go find Shan Qihuan yet, as he was afraid that he would not be able to control himself and would want to go home with him right away.
Shan Qihuan received a reply from Shen Yuhan, which consisted of only six words: Husband, I received your letter.
He flipped through the papers again and again. That was it? Was there nothing else you wanted to say to him
Could there be some hidden trick? He almost wanted to spray some revealing water on the paper, but reason stopped him from thinking about it.
It seems that his wife still wants to separate from him!
Maybe his letter wasn't sincere enough, so keep going and keep writing!
Shan Qihuan began to write love letters to his wife with his most serious attitude, and the content of the letters became more and more explicit.
With "love" as the main theme and "affection" as the auxiliary, he wrote thousands of words.
The bodyguard had to act as a messenger again, which was a really easy job.
The correspondence between the two became more and more frequent. With the arrival of her husband, Shen Yuhan's living standard in the archaeological team became higher and higher. Every day's meals were specially prepared for her. The entire archaeological team knew that the big boss was his girlfriend!
Every time Shen Yuhan sees his colleagues, he is teased by them: "Xiao Shen, what did you eat today?"
Shen Yuhan was almost dying of shame and anger. Her husband was really too high-profile!
On this day, Shen Yuhan was still working in the temporary work area when it suddenly started to rain heavily outside.
When it was time to get off work, he followed the archaeological team's car down the mountain. It was raining heavily and his trouser legs were wet as soon as he got in the car.
There are many thunderstorms in the south in spring, and the mountains are shrouded in fog with very low visibility. The drivers are experienced people who go up the mountains every day.
Every day they take the archaeological team's car back to Liangshui Village, and it only takes fifteen to twenty minutes to go up and down the mountain.
In the car sat Shen Yuhan, Xiaoli, Brother Yan, Brother Lin and others. They had been here for some time and were already accustomed to the spring rain in the south. But no one expected that after the car had moved forward for ten minutes, someone in the car would hear a loud bang!
At the same time, Shan Qihuan was looking forward to his wife returning to the village after work. He had made up his mind that he must have dinner with his wife today and sleep in the same bed with her. They had not spoken to each other for almost half a month.
But he waited for a long time, but there was no sign of the archaeological team's car coming down the mountain.
Later, he heard that the village was organizing people to go to the mountain for rescue. It turned out that the archaeological team's car going down the mountain encountered a landslide and was crushed by fallen trees.
Shan Qihuan became flustered upon hearing this, and immediately called Shen Yuhan with trembling hands, but the other party's phone could not be connected!
Shen Yuhan, please answer the phone!
