MTL - Rebirth Starts at 7 Million-Chapter 167 Unspeakable
Luo Fan and Li Jingyi left the county seat. They walked leisurely for two days and arrived home at noon on the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month.
There was only one day left until the Chinese New Year, Luo Fan's family had already prepared the New Year's goods, and Li Jingyi's family was similar.
The next day, on New Year's Eve, the Luo Fan family returned to the town.
It has been almost four months since Luo Fan came back last time, and the road in the town has been repaired and opened to traffic.
Luo Fan didn't expect the efficiency of the town to be so high. Originally, Luo Fan thought that it would take a few months for the road to be repaired and open to traffic, but he didn't expect it to be done so quickly.
When the family arrived at Luo Fan's grandfather's house, the two old people were preparing lunch.
"Mom and dad, why do you prepare so many things?" Cao Hongying asked.
"At noon today, eldest brother and the others are coming over for dinner." Luo Fan's grandfather Luo Jianguo said.
Luo Hai was very surprised when he heard the words. The eldest brother in Luo Jianguo's mouth was in charge of the old Luo family's ancestral hall and genealogy. In ancient times, he was the patriarch.
Now the mayor of Xiahe Town, Luo Yang, is the son of Luo Jianguo's eldest brother.
According to the traditional Chinese New Year, the following people go to visit the patriarch, how can the patriarch come to eat at the family's house?
"Dad, is it because of Leilei?" Luo Hai asked after looking at Luo Fan.
Luo Jianguo nodded: "Although Leilei did not publicly donate money, it is well known in our old Luo family. There are also children in our village who work in Shanghai. They knew about Leilei's company after a little inquiries."
"So, why did they stop us from going home just to see me?" Luo Fan asked.
"Well, I heard that they encountered a big incident. It seems that this incident has something to do with that **** Luo Jiang."
Hearing this, Luo Fan frowned, and when he mentioned Luo Jiang, Luo Fan's first impression was that he later bought a lot of houses in the city, so Luo Fan always felt that Luo Jiang was the most promising person in the old Luo family.
But at that time Luo Jianguo told him that Luo Jiang was an old man, a rotten gambler, who spent all day at the mahjong table, like a crippled person.
It was impossible for Luo Jianguo to lie to him, so Luo Fan thought at the time that it should be because Luo Jiang encountered something good that fell from the sky, so he suddenly rose up.
However, Luo Fan didn't care much about it. Anyway, even if Luo Jiang had any adventures and made a little windfall, it would be like that. It had nothing to do with him, and it would not have much impact on him.
But today the "patriarch" of the old Luo family came over because of this, which made Luo Fan a little interested.
At 11:30, three men came to Luo Jianguo.
The leader was a particularly spiritual old man with glasses, gray hair, and the appearance of an intellectual.
Behind him, one is the mayor Luo Yang, and the other has a 4 or 5 similarity with Luo Yang, and at first glance, they are related by blood.
Sure enough, during the mutual introduction afterward, Luo Fan knew that the man in front of him was Luo Yang's younger brother Luo Jiang, and the old man in the lead was the patriarch of the old Luo family - Luo Jiandang.
Luo Jiandang is 2 years older than Luo Jianguo. Born in 1948, he is the only one among the older generation in the town who went to high school and also served as the mayor of Xiahe Town.
Luo Fan listened to Luo Hai. When he was young, he thought that Luo Jiandang was a very kind and reasonable person, much better than his father.
Luo Fan didn't know what Luo Jiandang looked like when he was young. In short, now Luo Fan thinks Luo Jiandang is a bit dull.
He didn't speak much, and in a few words he always had an uncomfortable tone, like a leader.
Luo Jianguo, Luo Yang, and Luo Jiang were used to this gesture for a long time, while Luo Fan and Luo Hai were uncomfortable, but the father and son didn't show it.
Generally speaking, Luo Fan doesn't care much about this kind of person, so he chooses to stay away.
Luo Hai, on the other hand, would be perfunctory for the sake of face, but actually left ear in and out right.
After dinner, everyone was talking about family affairs, and Luo Fan soon noticed that it was not only Luo Hai who perfunctory Luo founding the party, Luo Yang and Luo Jiang also said the same.
Even Luo Jiandang himself knew that they were perfunctory to him, but he couldn't change it. Luo Jiandang was used to this kind of airspeaking way of speaking.
But Rowan was not used to it.
Luo Fan felt uncomfortable sitting at the dinner table, why was it uncomfortable, so Luo Fan forcibly interrupted the elders' chatter and asked, "Is there something wrong with Grandpa coming here today?"
If it was an ordinary junior who dared to interrupt the elder’s speech, he would have to be reprimanded, but Luo Fan is now considered an old hen and turned into a duck. Fan talks too much.
On the contrary, Luo Hai glared at Luo Fan, and Cao Hongying also gave Luo Fan a hand. It was rude for him to interrupt the elder's speech like this.
Luo Fan ignored the small gestures of his parents and said with a smile: "Grandpa, I'm sorry, I plan to go back to the city this afternoon, and the time is a little tight. Originally, I sent my parents here, and I will come here for the reunion dinner in the evening. , so if you have something to do, just say it directly!"
Hearing this, Luo Jiandang sighed and said, "Alas! The grandfather said it directly, didn't the road in our town collapse before?"
"Well, I know this, there is such a big hole in the middle of the road."
"Actually! This hole existed when the cement road was built, but I asked someone to seal it up. Who would have guessed that after so many consecutive days of rain this time, the hole was actually washed away, and then... ...Alas! You can tell the rest of the fifth one for yourself!"
Hearing this, Luo Jiang scratched his head and said, "At that time, I saw that the hole was a little wrong. It just so happened that some tomb robbery novels are not popular recently! I asked two friends to go down when my brain became hot, and it really made us discover something. thing."
Said that I, Luo Jiang, took out something wrapped in cloth from my pocket. He opened the cloth and found a gold ingot inside.
Luo Fan's expression suddenly became weird: "Uncle Jiang, you won't tell me that there is really a tomb under this hole, right?"
"I...I don't know, I just wandered around outside."
"What else did you find besides this gold ingot?" Luo Fan asked.
"There are also two silver ingots, a jade pendant, and a small porcelain bowl. There is an inscription on the porcelain bowl, which belongs to Xuande in the Ming Dynasty."
Hearing this, Luo Fan's mouth twitched, and he understood why Luo Jiandang and his son came to him.
In all likelihood, there is a tomb under the highway, and Luo Jiang's behavior is no different from robbing a tomb.
The town moved so quickly, it is estimated that they wanted to cover up Luo Jiang's traces, but Luo Jiang didn't go down alone at the beginning, and there were people with him, which was interesting.
It is estimated that Luo Jiandang was afraid that the two would report his son, so he came to Luo Fan, and asked Luo Fan to help him with an idea to see what to do.
