Chapter Twenty-Eight: Father-Son Dialogue
Outside the window, the lights are already bright, and the fragrance of flowers is refreshing, overlooking the night scene without the noise of the day, and everyone can't revel intoxicated. After being silent for a long time, under the repeated pull of Lei Tongren, everyone went down to eat, leaving Chen Zhijun alone to accompany Professor Chen for infusion.
Hearing that it was clean outside, Professor Chen slowly opened his eyes and saw that Chen Zhijun was alone beside him, so he said, "Are they all gone?" Alas, this fuss. ”
"Dad, I know you like to be quiet, but you can't help it now, I guess you won't be able to be quiet for at least two or three days."
"Alas, your Uncle Zhang is like this, he will never cause trouble, but whenever he encounters something, he will make a big fuss, and he can't change it."
"Change what? You old guys have been doing so much, and I think it's pretty good anyway. ”
Professor Chen smiled and said, "Don't you dislike us old guys? ”
"Dad, look at what you said, I keep in mind what you told me when I was a child, to borrow your grandson's words, everyone has a time when they are old, look at the present I am the shadow of my future, use my today to educate future generations, and lay tomorrow for myself, this is the truth that your grandson has realized now."
"Haha, it's a big ghost, it's quite similar to your mother, but don't let your sister and your mother know about this, I'm afraid they won't be able to control their emotions."
"Well, I won't tell them. By the way, Dad, what will you do with this when someone from your unit comes? ”
"Hehe, fool, do you think you're really here to deal with accidents? Such an ordinary accident is worth fighting for? It is estimated that your Uncle Zhang is using the topic to play, just to take the bamboo slips away quickly. ”
Chen Zhijun was surprised and said, "How can my Uncle Zhang's Taoism be so high? ”
"Hehe, why am I with these guys every time? He is crazy about money, and I am always afraid that there will be damage and loss of cultural relics in the place, so every time I acquiesce to his play for various reasons, which also ensures that all the cultural relics we excavate are safe, so the superior leaders are also tossed by him by default, slowly, they are also used to it, and now they are excited when they hear his call, because they know that there are good things, hehe. ”
"Oh, does that mean that your institute is playing double reed with Uncle Zhang again this time?"
Professor Chen didn't answer this topic, and asked Chen Zhijun to shake the bed up a little and said, "Hehe, our father hasn't chatted like this for a long time, you go and pour me a glass of water, and I'll tell you about it." ”
Seeing the water brought, Professor Chen continued: "Look at so many people who scold archaeology on the Internet, saying that the folk tomb robbers are lacking morality, and we are official thieves, this statement was based at first, in the past many ancient tombs were excavated, because the management and constraints were not strict, the cultural relics would be lost layer by layer after passing through multiple links, and then the whole fake list of ledgers was deceived by fraud, and then the laws and policies were strict, and there were also image requirements. ”
"Oh, what about those who steal artifacts?"
"In the past, the maximum sentence for arrest was the death penalty, but now the maximum sentence is life imprisonment."
"It's really cheap for those people, they have high returns, and the cost of crime is low, and such things should be inevitable."
"Alas, every dynasty will have tomb robbers, this is inevitable."
"Were there any legendary ghosts during the tomb robbery?"
"Haha, fool, where did the ghosts come from? However, there are indeed many unknown and unsolved mysteries in the well-preserved tombs. ”
"Unknown? What do you mean? ”
"The unknown is a state of affairs that is not known and understood in the context of past cultures and modern cultural differences."
"For example, when I was a child, I read that there was a book at home and said "I Ching", and my mother said it was useless, and you would say that it was a very scientific product, so what kind of book is it?"
"Your mother is a medical student, of course she won't believe that, it's good if she doesn't object, haha, "I Ching" actually refers to the three books of "Lianshan", "Guizang" and "Zhou Yi", which come from three dynasties, but unfortunately, the first two have long disappeared without a trace in history, and the current "Book of Changes" only refers to "Zhou Yi", covering almost all fields, politics, philosophy, literature, art, etc.
"Isn't "Zhou Yi" looking at feng shui?"
"! That is a person who does not learn and does not know how to look at only one of them, Feng Shui says just a few points, what is the fortune calculation, what Feng Shui, crooked and evil ways, the author of "Zhou Yi" is not the master of Feng Shui? Ridiculous! ”
"Look, you're in a hurry, people are only studying from your perspective, and the results are definitely different."
"Speaking of feng shui, your Uncle Zhang is a master, you are interested in learning from him, he knows much more than those fooling experts on TV, and he has enough practice, you can estimate it by looking at the mountain-shaped landform."
"Isn't he a feng shui master? What are you doing here? ”
"Stupid again, isn't it? Isn't it the same for me, retired and then retired, why? With his passion for archaeology, if you use this as a means to make money, then it is estimated that none of our brothers will have less money than you. ”
"Where did I get the money? It's all Uncle Lei's support, and without his network to take care of it, we wouldn't have had a chance to get so many projects. ”
"By the way, speaking of your Uncle Lei, you didn't tell him about this, did you?"
"We didn't, he was told, and he will be there tomorrow."
"That's damn, it's going to be a mess here."
"It's okay, my Uncle Lei's fiery temper is so hot that it's really scary, I was afraid of him when I was a child, no wonder my colleagues are still scared to death."
"Do you remember, when I was a child, when I lived behind the enamel factory, my colleagues often avoided our house and said that they were eating and drinking, but in fact, they were afraid of your Uncle Lei, and because he was naughty and loved to fight when he was a child, and he didn't dare to go home, and then he got used to him in our house, if it weren't for the gossip of others, he would have recognized his godfather and godmother a long time ago."
"What's there, it's good to know a godfather and godmother."
"Alas, the ingredients were not good at that time, your Uncle Lei is a red seedling, he is not afraid, but he can't cause trouble for him, and then you will slowly grow up, so I won't mention it anymore."
"I understand, that era was really crazy enough, but, Dad, what's so fun about archaeology, you're so obsessed."
"Child, if you are interested enough in a career, and whether that interest can bring material gains or not, you will also enter a state of obsession after choosing."
"Like I love photography?"
"Yes, interest trends, you will eliminate everything to achieve it, this is also a kind of career."
"Then why didn't I educate you from a young age?"
"You have been weak since you were a child, and you were bullied and your colleagues helped you fight, and you knew that you ran blindly with him to buy a mouthful of food, and when you went to junior high school, you had a hobby for physical chemistry, and you didn't have the patience to guide you, but unfortunately you didn't develop in this area yourself, and then you played geology in college, and now it's not bad, at least what you do is related to your studies."
"There is not much to do with physics in the ancient tomb, otherwise the son would have inherited his father's business and would have been your follower."
"Or you don't know about the ancient tomb, almost all the mechanisms in the ancient tomb use physics, except for physics, which is chemistry, isn't your Uncle Zhang an expert in physics."
"That's right, forget that he's a genius, but I can't think of what the mechanism in the ancient tomb is like, one day you can show me and see the wisdom of the ancients."
"Okay, it's rare for you to be interested, there are a few institutions here that have been excavated now, and there should be places where you are interested."
"Then it's decided, I just want to know how the ancients drove the stone gate behind when they didn't have a power source or something."
"It's basically achieved by balancing, and part of it is the use of natural resources as a power source, and I will take you to see it when I have the opportunity to see it in the future."
The father and son chatted like this, and time seemed to return to Chen Zhijun's childhood, where he ate candy and listened to his father's kind stories to him. sighed that he had been busy for so many years and neglected to accompany his father, and slowly, tears flowed involuntarily.
