Shen Guodong didn't misunderstand anything as Zhou Wanwan thought, when it came to Guo Kejian, he only had disgust, "What does he understand?!" Do you need him to dictate to us?! ”

Zhou Chen raised his eyebrows, it can be seen that Guo Kejian is really to the point, otherwise Shen Guodong would not be so angry.

But how he pointed his fingers, no one knows.

Shen Guodong kept silent about this matter, and Guo Kejian smiled and said nothing.

Three months later, Guo Kejian was promoted to deputy director of the personnel department of the Ling'an Mining Bureau, becoming the youngest deputy director-level cadre in the entire Ling'an Mining Bureau.

For a while, he became the object of everyone's envy, but those who were familiar with him were not surprised. In the ten years when General Guo was defeated, he was able to walk out of a smooth road under many obstacles, and now the time and place are favorable, and everyone is waiting to see him soar into the sky.

It is not only Guo Kejian who ushered in a new stage of life, but Zhou Chen also got an undergraduate diploma from Ningbo University.

Yes, not an undergraduate acceptance letter, but a graduation certificate.

This has to start with Huo Changhe. Huo Changhe was a professor of history at Ningbo University before he was delegated, and as soon as the Gang of Four was defeated, all walks of life were in ruins, and talents were urgently needed, and Ningbo University, the largest and best comprehensive university in the province, was no exception.

The Department of Archaeology at Ningbo University was the hardest hit area of the campaign that year, and almost everyone in the department was not spared.

When archaeology and academic research were able to see the light of day again, Ningbo University was finally able to rebuild the most glorious archaeology department of that year. can investigate the professors and teachers of the year, most of them died in the cruel and bloody persecution in those ten years, and the rest were injured. The crippled remnant, the elite of Ningda was almost wiped out back then.

But one after another, state documents were sent down to rebuild the university. In particular, those particularly influential faculties at that time were needed for the revival of the cultural field and were also the rigid criteria for the evaluation of political performance.

In this case, Professor Huo Changhe, who has not been sick or affected in the past ten years, has not put down his academic research, is particularly scarce and precious.

When Professor Huo returned to the Department of History of Ningbo University as the head of the department, his first request was to bring Zhou Chen, a student he had brought out over the years, to become a lecturer.

If you don't have admission, no classes, no exams, no academic qualifications, you don't meet the regulations? The newly appointed Director Huo slapped a large stack of academic papers in front of the school leaders and the leaders of the Department of Education, "Take it and take a look at it if you know how to do it." I personally took seven or eight years of students to write enough papers to be published in the Journal of Archaeology! Are you eligible to get a graduation certificate from Ningbo University? ”

Or is someone unconvinced? "You take the test! Feel free to take the test! If you ask questions, my old man will never interfere. Theoretical classes, practical classes, cultural classes, what you want to test! If I take down this kid, count me Lao Huo smashing the signboard, and I will close the mountain gate and not accept disciples in the future! ”

are all counting on Old Man Huo's only remaining fruit as a signboard to rebuild the Department of Archaeology, who dares to provoke him not to accept disciples? No matter how unconvinced you are, you have to shut up.

Old man Huo still didn't give up. "Exam! If you don't take the test, you can't do it! My student can't be so unclear about the black pot that goes through the back door! ”

Then take the test! The school leaders personally inquired. A few people who took out the question lost a lot of hair, and they couldn't let people fail the test, and they couldn't release the water too obviously, I really regretted that I was so angry that I couldn't say that I was going to take the exam!

Director Huo said that after the exam, the test papers have to be publicized, "Let everyone see, the disciples brought out by my old Huo are not straw bales!" ”

The cultural ruffian Huo Old Man once again used his cheekiness and chicken thief to defeat a group of high-minded but ungood intellectuals, and returned home with a shy chest.

Old man Huo finished making a fuss at school. Throw Zhou Chen a few books and let him read them casually. That exam was nothing compared to all the years of research they had been doing.

Zhou Chen didn't work very hard before the exam, and he could go home every weekend to take Zhou Wanwan and Xiao Wang out for a walk, and the family didn't even know that he was going to take such a big exam.

The exam, which was not particularly nervous for both teachers and students, caused quite a stir in the archaeology department of Ningbo University and even the archaeological community of the province before the results came out.

The reason came from the whim of an old archaeological researcher who participated in the question, and the additional question at the end of the exam paper.

This additional question is not included in the total score, and it can be answered or not, just a whim of an old intellectual. And this question is still a very controversial issue in the current archaeological community, and everyone doesn't take it seriously, let alone expect Zhou Chen to give any new answers.

However, when he wrote two large sheets of paper on this question under the supervision of three or four scholars, everyone became interested in his answer.

When several scholars finished reading the two pieces of paper he had written, they couldn't wait to gather around him, waiting to see what was going on.

In the end, half an hour had passed since the exam, and several people still didn't let Zhou Chen go, repeatedly asking and discussing the opinions he proposed, and they no longer regarded him as a student of the exam, but a like-minded colleague.

What Zhou Chen wrote that day was slightly polished and published in the National Journal of Archaeology, which became a hot topic in the academic circles that year.

The school leaders once again sighed, or the weight of old scholars, the students brought out are rare talents, this Zhou Chen a little time, is a new star in the academic world, you have to catch it!

Moreover, this kid is not only smart, but also has a good image! The temperament of the eyebrows and eyes, the demeanor and speech, are not worse than those of movie stars! Which is like the student that Huo Changhe, who has a short body and a bald head and eight eyebrows and mung bean eyes, can teach!

If there is any activity in the future, take him out, it will be a golden signboard of the Department of Archaeology of Ningda University! Who would dare to say that those who engage in archaeology are either dwarf, poor, or earthy, tomb robbers!

Zhou Chen got the graduation certificate of Ningbo University and the lecturer employment certificate of Ningbo University before going home to tell everyone about it.

The whole family is boiling, which is great news!

Even Zhou Wanwan, who had always been sure that Zhou Chen could not nest in the county cultural center for the rest of his life, never thought that Zhou Chen could go out and face the new world so quickly. And the starting point is still so high!

With Zhou Chen's ability and tenacity, it will not be a problem for him to develop in any direction in the future!

"Second brother, why are you doing archaeology?"

Zhou Wanwan always thought that Zhou Chen would prefer the aspect of mechanical manufacturing. From making small match pistols when he was a child to making crossbows and weapons when he grew up, and later studying weapon casting, Zhou Wanwan secretly helped her find a lot of information and provided a lot of help, and understood his interests and research in much more detail than others.

"Archaeology makes me feel small, and when I go deeper, I feel at peace." Zhou Chen winked at Zhou Wanwan. "You know, sometimes people need a little bit of something stronger and more mysterious to be in awe, otherwise they will feel that life is not challenging. After a long time, it will be boring. ”

Zhou Wanwan nodded, Zhou Chen has been smart and transparent since he was a child, and he can see the essence of many things at a glance, which is the favor of God. But sometimes it's a curse for him.

Deep down, he couldn't accept anything that wasn't pure enough. Sometimes you can't pretend to be confused. Therefore, he is gentle and polite to everyone, but it is not easy to have a deeper relationship with him.

His life is actually much more lonely than others. It's not easy for him to find something that consistently appeals to him and is always challenging.

"There is nothing new under the sun." Zhou Wanwan looked at Zhou Chen seriously, "Second brother, in fact, we can find the answer to what the artifacts can tell you in our lives." ”

"What I want is not an answer, I want a process of discovery and pursuit, and a state of calm observance."

Zhou Chen smiled, "Isn't it a bit contradictory?" But you must understand. It's like when you paint, you put a lot of emotion into a painting. But your perspective is always a bystander, so no matter how warm and bright you use colors, those who understand it will feel cold. ”

Zhou Wanwan has actually been a little afraid to talk to Zhou Chen in the past few years, and he has seen her too clearly, which is really annoying.

This winter, the good news came one after another, when Zhou Chen packed his luggage and prepared to go to work at Ningbo University, Zhao Xiaosan'er also received an admission letter from the Department of Chemistry of Ningbo University.

After graduating from high school, he worked at home for two years, both in terms of academic performance and labor performance, and with the help of Zhou Yang, he unexpectedly got the best university admission letter in the county that year, and became one of the last batch of workers, peasants and soldiers.

"From now on, I will be an alumnus with my second brother!" Zhao Xiaosan'er was so happy that she couldn't sit still, and kept dangling on the ground, "It's a pity that I have to graduate two years later than Nannan, if I can still take the exam after graduating from college, let Nannan go to the provincial capital to study for another two years, and then we will graduate together." ”

Zhou Wanwan smiled, around 80 years, the country will introduce a degree system, and there will be master's and doctoral students at that time, and she may really be able to be an alumnus with Zhao Xiaosaner and Zhou Chen.

"When you get to school, you are not allowed to call the second brother again!" Aunt Zhao hurriedly educated Zhao Xiaosan'er, "You have to call Teacher Zhou!" Xiao Er is now a teacher who teaches college students! Don't embarrass him! ”

In the eyes of Aunt Zhao, college students are the most knowledgeable people, and Zhou Chen is going to teach college students now, so how knowledgeable! I almost didn't dare to meet and pat and touch like before, this is a university teacher!

Even Zhao Xiaosi'er became honest in front of Zhou Chen, what he said and listened, if he wanted Zhou Wanwan to hug him, he could only avoid Zhou Chen's coquettishness.

When Zhou Chen left, Dunzi drove back to pick him up, and the station of their special service battalion was only a little more than an hour's drive away from the provincial capital, "Brother Dunzi is blessed this time!" If you want to eat anything, you don't have to write a letter to come back and enjoy it! ”

Zhou Wanwan added two more big bags to Zhou Chen's luggage, both of which were dry goods and sausages and bacon from the family, anyway, he lived there spaciously, and it was also appropriate to make good use of the big kitchen to thank Dunzi.

Zhou Chen did not go to live in the cramped and simple dormitory assigned by the university, but lived in a house in the provincial capital of Dunzi.

It is a spacious and bright three-bedroom house, which is said to have been used as a former house for Soviet specialists.

No one knows how Dunzi got such a house into his own hands, and he is either on a mission or in the barracks, so there is no need to get such a house in the provincial capital.

"Anyway, I don't live there, it's just right for Xiao Er." Dunzi didn't mention the ins and outs, and only handed over the key to Zhou Chen.

Zhou Chen refused to live at first, and smiled narrowly, "The dormitory assigned by the school is also very good, and it is difficult to live from luxury to frugality, so I won't toss." ”

Dunzi didn't know why, Zhou Wanwan explained his confusion, "What Zhou Xiaoer means is that Brother Dunzi is not too young, and he has to move back to the dormitory after marrying his sister-in-law, and it will be difficult to adapt to it when the time comes." ”

Everyone laughed, but they felt that what Zhou Wanwan said was not unreasonable.

Dunzi also smiled, "Actually, I went to the kitchen in that house at that time," he explained to Zhou Chen, "You will know when you go, the kitchen in that house is very beautiful, well-equipped, and there is a big window, outside the window is a whole sky, and there are big trees, and my heart is bright when I see it, thinking that everything made in it can be particularly delicious." ”

It's rare for Dunzi to say so much, so that everyone wants to go and see the kitchen where cooking is especially delicious.

Sending Zhou Chen away, Shen Guodong asked Zhou Wanwan, "I can't make the gnocchi soup well, why is he making a big kitchen?" ”

"Maybe, you want to find a sister-in-law who can cook?" Zhou Wanwan also didn't understand that their feelings had not diminished over the years of separation, but Dunzi was not the dun that people could guess at home back then.

"My daughter-in-law married me to cook?" Shen Guodong felt that Zhou Wanwan's guess was unreliable, "Our man's daughter-in-law is painful to marry, you see big brother, after getting married, the pimple soup is better than before!" ”

"Look at me again!" Shen Guodong proudly pointed to himself, "Since you were three years old, I have learned to cook for you!" ”

Zhou Wanwan didn't bother to give him one, "When I was three years old, you were thinking about marrying a daughter-in-law?!" If you dare to talk nonsense, my second brother can't beat you to death! (To be continued.) )
