Chapter 221 Excavation Plan
Li Mingguang slapped his grandson, this slap was nothing, but it eased the atmosphere on both sides, especially made the villagers feel a lot better, this is his cleverness.
And to tell the truth, Li Donghong and Li Jihong really deserve to fight, Li Mingguang's lesson to them is not all for people to see, he is really a little angry, these two boys mobilized the archaeological team to come here in his name to fool around, they can simply blow up the anger, the reason why he rushed here from Yancheng in a hurry, on the one hand, is that he is afraid that his two grandsons will annoy the people in the village, and on the other hand, it is also to ensure that the archaeological work is carried out smoothly.
"Grandpa, we were wrong. These two boys were really afraid of Li Mingguang, so they drooped their heads and didn't dare to speak loudly anymore.
Li Mingguang glanced at the girl named Feixue and said, "Feixue, what did you promise me at the beginning?"
"Grandpa Li, I'm ......"
"Don't say it, pack up your things tomorrow and go back to the imperial capital, I told you that if you want to be admitted to my graduate school, you must first learn to be a man, but what did you just say, rebellion?
"Professor Li, forget it, she's still a child. Zhang Tianyuan saw that the girl was really wronged, and his heart relented, so he persuaded him.
"Alas, for your sake, I won't talk about her, but if she talks nonsense again, then go back to the imperial capital immediately, it's all a habitual problem. Li Mingguang sighed, patted Zhang Tianyuan and said, "You're good, I've heard about it." Thanks to you, the two sides didn't fight. ”
"That's what I'm supposed to do. After all, I'm from this village, and I haven't moved out of my hukou yet. Zhang Tianyuan said with a smile.
"That's right. Li Mingguang nodded.
At this time, Liu Lao looked at Liu Haiyang who was lying in the grave. asked Zhang Tianyuan, "What's the situation?"
"That's the owner of this grave, don't let me continue to dig, it's better like this, it's getting late today, let's go to our house to eat, rest, and discuss what to do, my dad is the head of this village." Zhang Tianyuan said.
"It seems that this is the only way to go, but can you have enough room for so many people in your family?"
"It's summer. I still have a house here, I haven't lived in it, but the decoration is done, clean it, add some things and sleep. Zhang Tianyuan said.
"That's fine, we'll bring the sheets and mats with us. ”
"Then what are you waiting for, let's go, see the three-story small western-style building over there, that's the house where I originally planned to get married and marry my daughter-in-law." But I probably won't need it in the future. Zhang Tianyuan smiled and pointed to a small three-story western-style building not far away.
The house was located in the south of the city, on the south side of what is now the village, near the road. The transportation is relatively convenient, it is about a thousand meters away from the mass grave, and only a few dozen meters away from the primary school in the village. It turned out that it was just for convenience that Zhuangzi wanted to be here.
"Professor Lee. It's a convenient place, and there is a telescope standing on the roof of the building at night waiting to observe the situation here. Save yourself from robbing the tomb at night. Liu Jinglin said.
"Okay, let's go. ”
Zhang Tianyuan told his father about the situation, called his mother again, called some aunts and aunts in the village to come and help, and it took less than half an hour to tidy up the house and cook a sumptuous meal.
Zhang Ruhai asked the rest of the villagers to go home, and only called a few veterans and village cadres to drink with them and discuss archaeological matters.
At the wine table, Zhang Tianyuan also accompanied, after all, he was a person who could really understand Li Mingguang's words, and some things had to be explained to both parties, and both parties trusted him.
"Village Chief Zhang, we may have to stay here for more than a month this time, I don't know if it's convenient to live here?" asked Li Mingguang.
"It's convenient, why isn't it convenient. In fact, we are not unreasonable people, you said that you want to be like the old professor, and discuss with us in a friendly manner, isn't there nothing to do, archaeology, national affairs, how can we not support it?" Zhang Ruhai nodded.
"Well, then thank you Village Chief Zhang. In addition, can we hand over the daily food of our people to you to manage? How much the food costs, we can pay for it ourselves. Li Mingguang said again.
"Don't want money. Zhang Ruhai waved his hand.
"If you don't want money, then we'll go to the county seat to eat. Li Mingguang said with a smile.
"Well, how about a hundred yuan per person a month?" Zhang Ruhai thought for a while.
"A hundred dollars isn't enough, is it? ”
"Enough is enough, we don't have anything in the countryside, eggs, chicken, pork, mutton, fruits, fresh vegetables, you can eat anything. Zhang Ruhai insisted.
"Professor Li, don't be polite, although I'm not very rich, it's okay to invite your archaeological team to dinner. Zhang Tianyuan also said.
"Then the accommodation fee ......?"
"What else do you need for accommodation, this house is originally mine, if you give money, you will look down on me. Zhang Tianyuan insisted on not accepting it.
As for that accommodation fee, Zhang Tianyuan really doesn't like it, but he has a good relationship with these people, even if he goes to the imperial capital in the future, he can be regarded as having acquaintances, and no matter how much he spends, he may not be able to buy such connections.
After eating, Zhang Tianyuan's mother made tea again, and the armed policemen went up to the third floor, paying attention to the movement of the mass grave over there.
The aunts and aunts who helped washed the dishes in the kitchen, as for the hard work, Zhang Tianyuan had already secretly given it to his mother, and his mother gave it to those people, although they were all acquaintances, but others worked hard to help, and if they didn't give some money, they should also give something, such as soap, wine, cigarettes, laundry detergent, etc., which is also the habit of their village.
"Village Chief Zhang, let's see if you can convince that person named Liu Haiyang. We can move the graves, and we will compensate them. "When drinking tea. Li Mingguang got down to business.
"This should be fine, that kid from the ocean is idle on weekdays. As long as he gave him some money, he immediately didn't recognize his father. Zhang Ruhai said.
"Dad, I don't think it's that simple. Zhang Tianyuan shook his head and said, he found out when he was in the mass grave, Liu Haiyang's eyes looked around the grave from time to time, as if he was looking for something, he felt that there was something strange in it.
And if Liu Haiyang wanted money, he would have brought it up at that time, and he wouldn't just stop him from digging the grave.
"What do you mean?"
"That's it, Professor Li. I mean, if you can not move the grave of Liu Haiyang's family, you should not move, and how about digging it from the side with a little more effort? In my opinion, the ancient tombs should be quite large, so they don't have to dig from that position. Zhang Tianyuan said.
"Well, that's also an idea, there seems to be a pepper field next to it, and there is no grave. You can try it, as for the loss of pepper fields, we will compensate according to the price. Professor Li thought for a moment.
If you can not move the grave, it is naturally better not to move the grave.
"That pepper field belongs to an uncle's family. It turned out to be a family, but it was a little rusty in my generation, but my dad was very familiar. Let him talk, and make sure it's okay. Zhang Tianyuan said.
"That's fine. Village Chief Zhang, then I'll trouble you. Don't be embarrassed, how much money does he want, as long as it is reasonable, we will not bargain. Li Mingguang said.
"Okay, you guys don't have any opinions, right?" asked Zhang Ruhai after looking at a few more representative veterans and village cadres in the village.
"No comment, no comment. ”
"Okay, it's okay if you don't have an opinion, I'll go to his uncle to talk about the pepper field, Tianyuan, you can stay and accompany a few." Zhang Ruhai got up and said goodbye, anyway, he didn't know what to say if he stayed here, so it was better to let his son take the lead.
At this time, those aunts and aunts had already washed all the pots and pans, and went home with the gifts given by Zhang Tianyuan's mother with a smile.
"Mom, what about Hanghang and Pepe?"
"It's okay, they're playing with Xiuyun at the neighbor's house, don't say it, after you come back this time, your aunt next door seems to have changed all of a sudden, I don't even know each other anymore, that's called enthusiasm." Li Lanxiang said with a smile.
"That's okay, Mom, go back and rest quickly, I can't go to the house to accompany you today, I'll talk to Professor Li and them." ”
"Okay, that's gone. ”
……
When only Zhang Tianyuan and a few acquaintances were left, the atmosphere of the conversation became more relaxed, and Zhang Tianyuan asked Li Mingguang about the real purpose of their coming here this time.
"It's really archaeology, I thought you had other tasks, Professor Li, aren't you a geologist?" Zhang Tianyuan thought crookedly, he thought that he had found some minerals in his village, and came to explore in the name of archaeology.
"I'm the president of the University of Geosciences, but my major is archaeology, and you promised to rely on my graduate students, but you don't know this?" asked Li Mingguang with a smile.
"Gee, I really don't know. I didn't expect Professor Li and I to have the same professional background, so that's right. Zhang Tianyuan scratched his head and said.
"You see, you also graduated from archaeology, but instead of being an archaeologist, you played collecting and gambling stones. Li Mingguang said with a smile.
"That's right, but I think the knowledge I learned before is very useful for me to play collecting, but it's not enough to learn in four years of college, will there be anything new in the graduate course?"
"Of course, not only will the knowledge be broader, but there will also be some practical applications, such as you can follow me out to archaeology, experience the fun of this practical operation, and have a deeper understanding of ancient cultural relics. Li Mingguang nodded.
Zhang Tianyuan was originally admitted to graduate school purely because he wanted to worship Li Mingguang's mentor and expand his personal connections, but after hearing these words, he suddenly felt that he might really have to study some graduate courses in archaeology, which was beneficial and harmless for what he was doing now.
"Then I'll have to get into your graduate school!"
"You don't have to take the test, for people like you, I can go through the back door, don't look at my age, but I'm not so stubborn, what kind of bullshit graduate exams are now, it's all superficial work, and I can't choose the disciple I really like." Li Mingguang said with a smile.
"No, no, no, I appreciate Professor Li's kindness, but since there is this rule, then I still have to take the test, lest others say that I entered your door by going through the back door, then I can't stand it. I'm still very concerned about other people's opinions, so I guess I have a little bit of self-esteem. Zhang Tianyuan shook his head and said. (To be continued......)
