I was contacted by the staff of the collection and I was able to go to work.

I came to the personnel office and was warmly received by a middle-aged balding man, who was the head of the office.

Then, he took me to the curator's office, which is a meeting with the leader, and it is also a necessary process.

After entering, I found that the curator was about the same age as my mother, and his head was half black and half white, although he was not good-looking, but he was more stylish, dressed in a rich and noble family, and his straight abdomen showed the oil and water in his stomach.

The personnel introduction said: "Fan Guan, this is the new Zhou Hua."

Fan Guan, I almost didn't laugh when I heard this title. I have been in the north for a long time, and my pronunciation is more slippery than many southerners, isn't this called a restaurant?

Although he thought so in his heart, he still had a serious face on his face, and greeted him with a smile: "Fan Pavilion is good!"

He raised his head to read the newspaper, glanced at me, and continued to read the newspaper, and said, "Coming?" I heard that you have committed another crime in Province H? ”

My heart says to commit a crime? Have you figured it out, can I still stand here after I committed a crime? I said, "Ah, you're mistaken, that's ......"

He suddenly slammed the newspaper in front of him directly on the table, raised his head, glared at me fiercely with two eyes, and said: "I don't care what you do, just be honest when you come here, you dare to make a mistake and see how I clean you up!"

I was confused by this sudden mentally retarded remark, why did I come to this set? I was about to lose my temper when someone on the side was tugging at my clothes from behind, and I knew he was trying to calm me down.

I also knew that it was not a good thing to work with the curator on the first day I came, so I held back my anger and didn't say a word.

When he saw me like this, he asked, "Why, are you still not convinced?" Don't you see, you're not old and have a good temper, you don't want to do it, you can leave at any time. ”

I don't know what's going on, I can meet this kind of bastard on the first day I come back to work, I have scolded him two hundred times in my heart, and I smiled on my face, and forced a sentence out of my mouth: "It's nothing, I remember." Turn around and walk out.

After closing the door, the personnel also followed, and whispered to me: "Hey, hey, you, why are you so bad-tempered, the leader gives you an explanation, why are you like this!"

"Can the leader just wronged people?" I deliberately said it loud so that the leader could hear it. Personnel hurriedly waved at me, meaning that I should not say anything.

Then he took me to the office and got to know my new colleagues. I was placed in the "Department of Antiquities", the name sounds a bit nondescript, the personnel said that there were five people in it, and when I went in, I looked like a middle-aged aunt. When I asked, I found out that all the others went out to dig the gold and stone.

I asked her, "Isn't this a collection?" It's not a gold and stone institute, what kind of gold and stone excavation are you doing? ”

She said: "It's a small place, the collection museum is a father and a mother, and the excavation and exhibition have to be done."

"Do you have the qualifications to excavate gold and stones?" You know, the qualification of gold and stone excavation is not something that ordinary units can have, it is all promulgated after the strict review of the Yamen above, this kind of county-level collection should be unlikely, and I have lived here for so many years, and I have not heard of any cultural relics.

Sure enough, she said, "No, we are cooperating with the city and the province to get it."

Without asking any more questions, I began to tidy up the desk that had been assigned to me, if it could be called a desk, because it looked like the desk I used in middle school, and the yellow paint on the surface had almost half of it gone. It strengthened my determination that I couldn't mess around here.

In the morning, I passed in the chatter with the office aunt, went to the cafeteria to eat, and at noon the personnel came to me again, asked me to pack up my things, and the curator sent me out to excavate the gold and stone. He also said: "I say, the curator can't be offended, in fact, there is a shortage of people in the indoor work now, which will make you suffer from the wind and sun."

I only said two times in my mouth, but I couldn't ask for it in my heart, and I felt sick to stay in the same building with that kind of person. Going to the Goldstone team, so far, the people I've seen are not bad.

I went back to pack some things, but my mother wasn't home, so I wrote a note asking her not to mess with me at night, and went to the collection.

The museum arranged for a groom to take me to the gold and stone construction site. The carriage had been going for four or five hours, and I thought to myself, this is far enough, it's not in my own county at all, right?

I asked the groom, "What is this place?"

Sure enough, Ma Fu replied with a place name, which is the two counties at the east and west ends of the prefecture-level city.

I asked the groom, "Why did you go out to help other counties with excavations?"

He said, "I don't know, it's arranged by the curator."

Now when I mention this person, I am furious. Sure enough, it's not a good thing, I thought I could go home every day when I came back to work, but I didn't expect it to be like this, and it was enough to go back this week.

But as the saying goes, people are under the roof, they have to bow their heads, and everything has to be patient for the time being.

When the sun went down, we arrived in a very remote village, with only dirt roads on the road, no street lights at night, and houses were quite dilapidated, which is rare in the rich lands of the south.

The Golden Stone team lived in a private house, and the groom took me in and greeted several people. Although the room was not good, I saw that the dishes on the table were not bad, and I sat down with the groom to eat.

During the conversation, I learned that this is the construction site of the Provincial Jinshi Institute, and the leader's surname is Ma, so I will call him the horse team, and he is responsible here all the year round. I also joked with him that I had a big brother in the north who was also surnamed Ma.

After some conversation, I learned that he was basically responsible for the excavated sites in several counties in our city, and there were also four or five provincial technicians, and the rest were all migrant workers. These people are all quite kind, and they don't have any arrogance at all.

I asked the team, "How did I get here?"

He said: "There are not enough excavation manpower here, we asked you what the city wanted, maybe the city asked the county for important people, so we got you here."

"Do you usually rest when you dig here? Or is it the same as any other construction site? ”

"Jinshi construction site, catch up with the schedule, it's all the same, no rain and no rest."

I said in my heart that now, I'm afraid it's hard to go back once a month, mother.

After eating, I sent off the groom, I took my luggage into the house to pack up, and then lay down on the hard bed and fell asleep, with a layer of cotton pads and felt like there was no mat. Sure enough, when I woke up the next day, my back hurt.

After washing up, I looked at the breakfast, and what I ate was actually steamed noodles, which really scared me. You know, this is the south, it's not normal to have steamed buns for breakfast, this kind of northern noodles is rare, I have also "seen the world", the northern noodles and the southern noodles can be recognized at a glance.

The horse team told me that all of them, including him, were northerners, so they ate northernally. He asked me if I could fit in, and I said yes, I wasn't picky about eating.

The horse team said that there is no meal restriction standard here, so the food will not be bad. The Jinshi construction site has a good one, it doesn't cost money, and there is food and accommodation. Fortunately, although the place to live in is not good, but the food is okay.

With the tools assigned to me, I rode a bicycle with them to the construction site, and when I went to the place, the excavation area was really not small, but all the old men and old ladies who were waiting there were very interested in seeing me coming, asking questions and asking questions, and when they heard that I was local, as if they had been suppressed for a long time, they chatted with me in dialect until the construction started.

The horse team divided nearly ten exploration directions for me to do slowly, and the strata here are not deep, mainly the remains of the historical period. Migrant workers in Fangli told me that there are no people under the age of 60 who work here, and that the young people in the village have gone out to work, and most of them have gone to the city, and they are the only ones who remain in the village and are willing to work.

In fact, I can see that they don't talk about age, they are weak in their work, not that they dislike them, they are indeed very hard-working, but age and physical conditions are there. Jinshi general agricultural workers are divided into three "types of work", in fact, can do, most of the time is to take turns, that is, digging the ground under the soil, loading the soil into the cart, and transporting the soil to the mound, the gold and stone workers are generally responsible for scraping the surface to find the relics, there are relics to do, there is no to continue to go down the stratum.

These migrant workers of mine, the people who go to the soil every day are the most tired, so they all take turns to do it, using hoes, picking them up, and banging them, they can get down more than ten centimeters on this small piece of land. Each probe is 10*10 generous, this more than ten centimeters of modern cultivated soil, I was stunned for a week.

I talked to the team about the progress, and he said, "It's okay, you'll get used to it, they're going to work at this pace." Don't rush them, they are all old, too hard working or surging up to make any problems, and we will also be in trouble. As long as you're still doing it, you'll be fine. ”

On the one hand, I knew that I had to catch up with the deadline without a holiday, and on the other hand, I couldn't find a strong laborer to work quickly, but there was really no way.

The days just passed day by day, very boring, after digging the soil, the Ming and Qing strata below, there was nothing, day by day was fast and boring, the only fun was to talk nonsense with a few migrant workers in Fangli. Maybe it's true that everyone has this kind of "local" mentality, and some of the migrant workers in other parties will come over to talk about family life when they are resting, so they are very familiar with me, and sometimes they invite me to eat together when they do things at home, and they don't have this treatment for the horse team.

The weather is getting hotter and hotter day by day, and I am afraid that these middle-aged and elderly workers will accidentally suffer from heat stroke, so the progress of the project will be even slower. But looking at the horse team, they can't go anywhere. I let them change the soil every hour, and once a day, and the labor intensity is also dispersed, so that they are not too tired.

I've heard people say that there is a tolerance exam every year, and those who are the counterpart of gold and stone cultural relics can generally apply for the yamen, and can also apply for some other liberal arts positions. I thought to myself that if I could get this kind of exam, it would be good, I should not need to excavate the gold and stone, and at least I could settle in the city, and one of the original reasons why I came back was to take care of my mother.

So I got off work every night, tidied up, and there was nothing extra to do, so I continued to review this stuff. The horse team sometimes engaged in research and wrote articles, and the technicians played cards and mahjong and talked about it, but they couldn't get in the way of each other.
