Two hours later, when Wang Ke opened his eyes, it was already bright.
Wang Ke looked at the small alarm clock. It was just five o'clock in the morning.
The biological clock is so powerful, no matter how late you sleep, you wake up at the right time. Wang Ke got up and washed up, then cleaned the yard as usual, helped fetch water, feed the animals, drink the animals, and clean the donkey pens and pig pens.
The more than 20 chicks I bought at the beginning have now grown to nearly a pound in weight. They are everywhere in the pig pen and the donkey pen. They are clucking non-stop, and the two roosters are crowing even more happily.
When she was almost done, Sister Cuilan also got up. She mainly made breakfast.
"Sister Cuilan, I'm going to do exercises." Wang Ke opened the courtyard door and ran first to the reservoir in the west of the village, then turned to go to the small factory, then turned east and turned to the elementary school.
When we arrived at the small factory, we heard the sound of sweeping in the yard. It's Gu Maolin. He is cleaning the factory yard.
"Maolin, I'm going to the countryside today, do you have anything?" Wang Ke said hello loudly through the gate.
"Squad leader, what are you doing?" Gu Maolin ran over and opened the door.
“Buy water pipes and put up job notices.”
"I'll go with you."
"You can't leave today. After the equipment has been installed and debugged in the past two days, the product will be trial-produced. Don't you want to study hard?"
"Is the squad leader making donkey-hide gelatin? If so, I am willing to follow suit."
This is exactly what Wang Ke hopes to see. Interest is the best teacher. If one day Gu Maolin likes this business, then when he is demobilized, it will be possible for him to stay and come to his godfather's Dong's Natural Rubber Factory.
"I have nothing to do. I'll wait for you to come back today and help me cut my hair at noon."
"Okay, one more thing. You have to explain to Song Ruimin at some point. As soon as the business trip over there is over, you will send the black donkey back. You must not lose it."
"Don't worry about this, squad leader, I'm still waiting to drink a bowl of black donkey blood."
"While talking, you started to gasp. There is something better than donkey blood." Wang Ke remembered what he had said to his godfather Dong Fangfang last night. In the future, if a batch of black donkeys were to be produced, they would use specially formulated Chinese herbal medicine and ancient wells. If fed with water, the black donkey blood may be more valuable.
"Yes, squad leader, don't worry, leave this matter to me. I'm waiting for your donkey blood."
"Bad boy, then I'll keep running." After Wang Ke finished speaking, he immediately ran eastward towards the rising sun.
As usual, I came to the hill behind the elementary school and wanted to say hello to Godfather Wen.
When we got to the mountain, we discovered that Professor Wen was not there. It turns out that in recent days, Professor Wen has started to ask the workers in the sand quarry to stop mining on the construction site. According to the current depth, it is not far from the sunken ship. Now it is necessary to reinforce the surrounding areas to prevent collapse. At the same time, a roof must be built to prevent rainwater from pouring back.
He has now arrived at the construction site. This huge pit has been dug for eighteen or ninety meters. Standing on the middle slope, looking down and up is very spectacular. Moreover, new archaeological highlights that will shock North China and colleagues will soon appear here. He must arrange all this as soon as possible, because soon, he will accompany the old village chief and Dong Pianfang to Jinmen University.
He very much hoped that he could detect one or two treasures before leaving. This would be a very good excuse for him to go back to school and to the superiors and subordinates. It would also increase the chances of winning this two-year cooperation and inviting school leaders to Nanshao Village.
Wang Ke ran down the hillside quickly. He guessed that if Professor Wen was not on the hillside, he must be at the construction site. He usually doesn't go anywhere else except sleeping and working.
Sure enough, at the construction site, Wang Ke saw Professor Wen with his hands on his hips, looking up and down the ramp.
"Godfather Wen!"
"Wang Ke, come on, come on." Professor Wen was particularly satisfied with Wang Ke. He was also a young man, and none of his students seemed to be able to wake up. How could they get so much sleep?
Wang Ke never sleeps in late. A year's plan begins in spring, a day's plan begins in the morning. Professor Wen asked his students to learn from Wang Ke more than once. The early bird catches the worm, but the students said that the early bird catches the worm.
"Daddy Wen, did you come here early in the morning to do something big?"
"Wang Ke, you are really like a roundworm in my belly. I can't hide anything from you. Yes, I arranged for them to stop mining yesterday morning. The depth now is not far from the sunken ship. What we have to do is to remove this big The surrounding areas of the pit must be reinforced to prevent collapse. At the same time, a roof must be built to prevent rainwater from pouring back. But..."
"Daddy Wen, I know what you mean. Do you want to find a breakthrough point when doing this? It's best to dig something out?"
"Yes, yes, you still understand your godfather's thoughts best. If you do this, you will get more support for many of your future tasks."
"It's inappropriate." Wang Ke said bluntly.
"Oh, why?" Professor Wen didn't expect it, so he asked.
"Daddy Wen, think about it. It's not difficult to dig out things. I guarantee you can dig out a large number of treasures in less than a day. But how to store these things? Once the news gets out, will there be looting? Therefore, I suggest that before you actually excavate, just as you have to reinforce the surroundings and build the ceiling, you should also seal the construction site, send out security personnel, and provide 24-hour safety protection before starting."
"Yes!" Professor Wen slapped his thigh. After doing archeology for so many years, he actually forgot about this. This reminder is too timely, and I really can’t rush into it. If we act rashly, the situation may not be controllable. Why go back to Jinmen University? I didn’t feel at ease letting you go at that time.
No wonder I've been feeling uneasy these past few days, always feeling like something is wrong.
well! None of his students can be as careful and considerate as Wang Ke. They are all as obedient as one, but not as good as ten in thinking.
"Wang Ke, you are really my godfather's good assistant. If you don't come to my archaeological institute in the future, it will be a big loss."
Wang Ke chuckled. He just wanted to learn some skills from Professor Wen in his spare time, but he was really reluctant to let him leave the army and take off his military uniform.
"Daddy Wen, I just have a suggestion. You can make the specific ideas yourself. As well as the surrounding reinforcement and roof construction, why not leave it to the sand quarry in Nanshao Village. Firstly, it can give them work and increase their income. Secondly, You can also ask them to help watch the construction site first. For the final sealing and security, I suggest you hire the troops. Such a large construction site requires at least one platoon."
"Okay. I'll go find the old village chief soon to discuss reinforcement and construction. What are you doing in the morning?"
"I'm going to the countryside in the morning to recruit two people for my godfather's factory and clinic, and at the same time I'm going to buy 40 galvanized water pipes."
"Is Lao Dong really planning to divert the water from the ancient well to the factory?"
"Yes, the factory is planning to install running water, but I don't know whether to build an underground cellar or a water tower?"
"Anyone is fine! The advantage of a water cellar is that it is safe and does not take up space; a water tower is easy to use and does not worry about contamination."
"Well, Godfather Wen, please help me come up with an idea. I have to go back first. I'll leave after breakfast."
"Okay, after I make arrangements in the morning, I will go to your godfather's water house and factory to have a look."
After saying goodbye to Professor Wen, Wang Ke quickly returned to his godfather Dong Pianfang's home. Ye Xianxian had just gotten up at this time. She was going to the county town with the old village chief today. And Sister Cuilan was preparing to deliver food to Gu Maolin.
Breakfast is very simple, fried corn tortillas and millet porridge, but the dish this morning is good, scrambled eggs with green onions.
"By the way, have you finished writing the recruitment notice?" Wang Ke grabbed a piece of cake and ate it, asking while eating.
"I wrote five letters for you upstairs. Won't you follow me to the county seat today?"
"I'm very busy today, so I won't go. Don't be angry with me!"
"You are so beautiful, you are so beautiful, why should I be angry with you?" Ye Xianxuan was still a little angry when she went back last night, and she has been packing her things back home these days. Professor Wen has told her that when she returns to Jinmen University this time, she will also go back and take a look. The most important thing is the agreement.
As soon as she packed her things, she saw the two pairs of cloth-soled shoes that Wang Ke asked her to bring to her father. No need to think about it, Dad must be very happy. It’s not about the value of the thing, it’s about the fact that you care about him. She saw her godfather Dong Pianfang and Wang Ke sitting in the yard chatting through the gap in the curtains, and felt excited.
In the quiet and quiet room, the teacup was filled with steam and a light aroma.
What do people seek in life? If you can't stay together with the one you love, how can you be demanding and self-centered and not tolerate others? Everyone is working, not dating.
So once you think about it, everything is clear, and you can concentrate on getting everything you need today.
She filled two bowls of porridge, one for herself and one for Wang Ke. Eat it in small bites.
"By the way, Godfather Wen wants to see the old village chief later. Please ask the old village chief to wait for him." After saying that, Wang Ke held the pancake in his hand without waiting for her to reply. He picked up the bowl and stirred it with chopsticks. If he doesn't eat vegetables, the sound of "sucking" can be heard from inside to outside the house.
Three times five divided by two, after Wang Ke finished eating, he returned to the kitchen and pushed the bowl away without having time to say hello. He hurriedly ran back to the side house where he lived and slung his military satchel across his shoulders. He hurried upstairs again, found the recruitment notices, got on his godfather Dong Pianfang's bicycle, and left.
Nanshao Village is not too far from the hometown, but it takes more than half an hour by bicycle.
When he arrived in the countryside, the streets were not big. Wang Ke quickly went to the post and telecommunications station to mail the three letters. Then I found some paste from the post and telecommunications station, and posted the recruitment notices at the entrance of the post and telecommunications station, in front of the township government, the township cultural station, the agricultural machinery station and other places.
After looking at it carefully, Wang Ke clapped his hands and pushed his bicycle to the only public store in town that sold local products, hardware and daily miscellaneous items.
"Is the boss here?"
A middle-aged uncle walked out of it and asked, "What do you want to buy, young man?"
"I want to buy a 40-meter galvanized water pipe with a total length of 850 meters, including unions, inner wires, outer wires, elbows, tees, valves, six-point faucets, etc. Can you help me calculate how much I need? I also want to buy one. A 500-watt water pump.”
"Oh, young man, you have to do some engineering work. You can't pull so much on your bicycle, and I don't have that much stuff here."
"Then I don't care. Just adjust the goods. As long as they can be delivered to Nanshao Village in the afternoon."
"Deliver it in the afternoon? Can it be delivered early tomorrow morning? If possible, I can give you a discount on the price and waive the shipping fee. I will give you a 750-watt water pump."
“Boss, I don’t want you to give away the water pump, but you can just find someone to help me build and install it for free.”
"Okay, it's just a matter of words. When will the construction be done? Is it also tomorrow?"
"right!"
