The next morning, Brother Lin took Shen Yuhan, who had cleaned himself up, to the site, where he met Supervisor Liang, she is a lady who is not too tall, and speaks and does things quite neatly, she is around fifty years old, she has a pair of intelligent and clear eyes, and was approachable1平易近人 (píng yì jìn rén): amiable and approachable (idiom); easy-going; modest and unassuming; (of writing) plain and simple; easy to understand., when she saw Shen Yuhan, she immediately invited him to have breakfast with her in a temporary tent, which was just simple steamed buns and congee.
Shen Yuhan politely ate some of it, because he had just arrived here, and didn’t have much of an appetite.
Supervisor Liang chatted with Shen Yuhan about some of the work related to the ancient tombs and took him to the newly built house next to it, there were many staff inside, and the cultural relics that had been sorted out yesterday were stored there, she first took him to a plate engraved with a text, and asked him if he recognized the characters written on it, Shen Yuhan said the four words ‘A hundred flowers bloom2百花齊放 (bǎi huā qí fàng): a hundred flowers bloom (idiom); many different sorts of flowers bloom simultaneously; (figuratively) a variety of different artistic styles flourish at the same time; all flowers are in bloom/blossom—free development of all forms and styles of art; flourishing art and literature; Describe the flowers in full bloom and colorful; A metaphor for the free development of various forms and styles of art, it also describes the prosperity of the art world.‘ without any hesitation.
Supervisor Liang was very surprised when she heard this, these four words, they even studied for half a day yesterday before they dared to confirm that it was ‘A hundred flowers bloom’.
“You really know this kind of writing, no wonder Lao Fang keeps recommending you to me.”
Shen Yuhan smiled modestly: “I occasionally read a few related books, and because I liked this font, I learned a bit, and at the time, I didn’t know that I could help Director Fang and you, Supervisor Liang.” This was the character he had been practicing since he was born, how could he not know it?
Supervisor Liang said: “We still have a lot to analyze here, so I’ll trouble you, after sorting it out, we will pack the cultural relics and send them to the museum for further cleaning, and multiple appraisals before they can be put on display.”
Shen Yuhan asked: “Will we only be able to see them in museums in the future?”
Supervisor Liang nodded: “Of course, it all belongs to the country now, and can not be owned.”
There are really a lot of unearthed objects, including a pile of books, all of which are ancient books that are fully packaged, Supervisor Liang left two archaeologists with him, one is Wang Li and the other is He Yan, one is responsible for recording, and the other is responsible for collecting and translating ancient books, they were also afraid that Shen Yuhan, who had never studied archeology, would destroy the newly unearthed cultural relics.
Shen Yuhan seemed to see two book boys and couldn’t help but smile.
Wang Li and He Yan are both students of Supervisor Liang and they are currently studying for doctoral degrees, they spend all day ‘face to the ground, back to the sky3面朝黃土背朝天 (miàn cháo huáng tǔ bèi cháo tiān): face to the ground, back to the sky; generally speaking, when farmers are doing farm work in the fields, they lower their heads and bend their waists, with their face to the ground, and back to the sky. Used to describe the hard work of farmers.‘, where would they have the chance to get in touch with someone as beautiful as Shen Yuhan, and they almost got lost in his light smile.
“What should I call you two?”
Wang Li was more lively and said: “Call me Wang Li or Xiao Li, his name is He Yan, and we all call him Brother Yan.”
He Yan, who was wearing thick-lensed glasses, said a little shyly: “Mr. Shen, if you don’t mind, you can call me Brother Yan.”
Shen Yuhan said: “You can call me Xiao Shen just like Supervisor Liang, I should be younger than you, so there is no need to call me Mr. Shen.”
Both of them agreed.
Then they began their work.
Every cultural relic has been cleaned and labeled, and both Wang Li and He Yan treated them as if they were treasures.
Shen Yuhan’s first day of work was to help them read the characters, he was able to give the answer to some characters that had not been researched at a glance, and the context immediately became clear.
On his first day, he read nearly a hundred pieces for them, and by the afternoon, his eyes were hurting, some of the words on the bottles were so badly worn that it took him a long time to read them.
Later, he came up with a way to compare the characters he had identified so far with the Chinese characters and write them down one by one, Wang Li and He Yan could also read some simple characters, moreover, they were also majoring in archeology, so they could understand it easily, in this way, the work of the three of them yield twice the result with half the effort4事半功倍 (shì bàn gōng bèi): half the work, twice the effect (idiom); the right approach saves effort and leads to better results; to yield twice the result with half the effort; a stitch in time saves nine; From Mencius (《孟子·公孫丑上》): 當今之時,萬乘之國行仁政,民之悅之,猶解倒懸也。故事半古之人,功必倍之,惟此時為然。, At the present time, in a country of ten thousand chariots, let benevolent government be put in practice, and the people will be delighted with it, as if they were relieved from hanging by the heels. With half the merit of the ancients, double their achievements is sure to be realized. It is only at this time that such could be the case..
For three days in a row, Shen Yuhan focused his energy on identifying Qi Kingdom’s characters, he was busy from morning till night, but he also lived a very fulfilling life, he also made a lot of new friends, and everyone was very kind to him, probably because of his arrival, the stagnant5停滯不前 (tíng zhì bù qián): stuck and not moving forward (idiom); stagnant; to cease developing and be unable to progress; in a rut; at a standstill; come to/reach a stalemate. work seemed to have been cleared and smoothed out, and the cultural relics in the temporary warehouse were sent to the museum one by one.
However, Shen Yuhan has identified so many things, but he has never seen anything related to him, most of them are items left by the descendants of the Shen family.
This descendant of the Shen family also finally has a name, his name is Shen Jiyu, the archaeological experts haven’t been able to find his epitaph, it was Shen Yuhan who discovered it from the signature in an ancient book, if it was slowly identified by experts, it would probably take a while, but as soon as he made a move, the name of the tomb owner was revealed.
But what the experts still don’t know is that Shen Jiyu is actually a ger, and only Shen Yuhan knows about this matter, but he can’t say these things, in order to protect the ‘gers’, his family lives anonymity, he has to keep it a secret for them, no matter whether ger still exists in the world or not, it can’t be said from his mouth.
It was another busy day, Shen Yuhan had just put a vase back into the box with Xiao Li, he rubbed his shoulders and then went back to the village residence with them.
Shen Yuhan then remembered that they had missed dinner just now, and Wang Li asked him: “Yuhan, do you have any flavors you want to eat?”
“I want to eat the pickled vegetable with beef flavor6酸菜牛肉味 (suān cài niú ròu wèi ): Noodle flavor. .” After Shen Yuhan came here, he discovered another modern and convenient food——instant noodles.
Everyone ate it as a late-night snack, because it was cold, and they needed to eat to keep warm.
After coming here, Shen Yuhan was no longer so delicate, he did whatever everyone else did, he experienced a life of self-reliance and created value with his own hands.
He was in a good mood tonight, so he took the initiative and said: “Do you want me to fry two more eggs?”
Brother Lin came back at some point, covered in mud and water, and said: “Yuhan, fry an egg for me too, Xiao Li, give me the spicy flavor! I’m starving!”
Xiao Li: “Okay! Gentlemen, your instant noodles will be ready soon! ”
–
At the same time, Shan Qihuan, who was forced to calm down at home for three days, couldn’t calm down at all, he waited and waited every day and could only wait for a message from his wife saying that he was safe, the bodyguard who was sent to him reported his wife’s situation every day, but the more he listened to it, the more annoyed he became!
On the first day, Shen Yuhan ate normal meals, breakfast, lunch, and dinner were all right.
Starting from the middle of the second day, his wife started eating instant noodles!
On the third day, he ate normally in the morning and at noon, but his wife ate instant noodles again in the evening!
Today is the fourth day! His wife is still eating instant noodles, and he even has to fry the eggs himself, and he also fry it for others! The side dish is unbelievably cheap, something that Shan Qihuan had only tasted once, a pack of pickled vegetables that cost 1.5 yuan during his university days!
When has Shen Yuhan ever experienced such hardship!
When had he ever let his wife suffer like this!
On the fifth day after Shen Yuhan joined the archaeological team, a big boss came to Liangshui Village to inspect local agricultural and sideline products.
The big boss hadn’t arrived yet, but he heard that there was a provincial archaeological team in the area, he immediately bought a lot of food and sent it to them, he also specially invited a few chefs to cook for them, the ingredients are all of the highest quality, moreover, the archaeological team suddenly received a considerable amount of investment, it is said that the boss particularly appreciates intellectuals, and especially provides them with food to improve their meals.
When Supervisor Liang was receiving the supplies, she touched the newly arrived quilt and quietly said to Brother Lin: “Have we met the God of Wealth? These quilts are all made of pure cotton.”
Shen Yuhan, who also came to receive the supplies, saw that there were two tall and strong workers among the delivery people, no matter how blind he was, there was no way he could pretend he didn’t see them, weren’t they his husband’s bodyguards?
He looked around, is his husband coming?
At this time, Shan Qihuan was standing in the bamboo forest in the distance, holding a telescope in his hand, when the cold wind blew, he sneezed.
He thought to himself: My wife must be thinking about me.
Assistant Qu reminded him: “Boss, you haven’t taken your cold medicine this morning.”
The author has something to say:
Shan Qihuan: All of them are authentic Xinjiang cotton7新疆棉 (xīn jiāng mián): Xinjiang is the leading producer of cotton in China, accounting for about 20% of the world’s cotton production and 80% of China’s domestic cotton production. Critics of the industry’s practices have alleged widespread human rights abuses, prompting global boycotts. China rejects accusations that any human rights abuses occur either within the Xinjiang cotton industry or within China overall.!
