Master Archaeologist

Chapter 90 Three Large Eastern and Western Zhou Tomb Groups

"Son, didn't you say you were very busy in Jingzhou?"

"We thought you weren't going home for the New Year this year."

"Your dad just took me to Sanya for vacation."

"There are only ten days until the Chinese New Year, and now there is no way to book a return ticket!"

"Otherwise, you go to the second uncle's house and celebrate the new year with the second uncle's family!"

"That's it, we are still rushing to go surfing!"

"Baby, happy Chinese New Year!"

After hanging up the phone, Chen Han looked up blankly and looked at the empty living room.

After a few hours of high-speed rail journey, Chen Han smoothly returned to his hometown in Fujian, a small third-tier city that is not well-known.

However, when he took out the house key that had not been used for a long time and opened the door, what greeted him was an empty house.

The imaginary parents greeted us enthusiastically, but they never showed up!

He never expected that his parents would go to Sanya for a trip without saying hello.

Although it is true that traveling to Hainan during the Spring Festival has become more and more popular in recent years, at least let’s notify in advance!

What kind of forgetful couple is this!

Putting down his phone, Chen Han collapsed on the sofa, his heart completely broken.

How will you spend the next eighteen days of Spring Festival holiday?

It was the peak season of Spring Festival travel, even if he wanted to buy a plane ticket to join his parents in Sanya immediately, it would be too late.

As the post-90s generation who strictly enforces the family planning policy, Chen Han is a glorious only child!
In other words, this Spring Festival, he is destined to spend it alone.

As for the second uncle's house?
Thinking of that cousin who was at an age full of curiosity and had a hundred thousand whys in her mouth every day.

Chen Han immediately didn't have the slightest idea of ​​going to his second uncle's house to make do with the New Year.

It's better to live alone, and it can be regarded as a clean one.

"At least it's not bad to be able to write a thesis with peace of mind." Chen Han thought happily in bitterness.

The original idea of ​​going home to enjoy a few days of clothes, stretching out hands to eat, and opening one's mouth to live, was immediately thrown into the back of your mind.

Grabbing his backpack, Chen Han turned around and went back to his bedroom, ready to challenge the two papers.

"Hey, Brother Zhuang, are you home yet?"

"We can start writing the thesis on tomb M105 over there!"

"Let me make a general outline first, and we will each be responsible for a part!"

"What? Rest? At your age, at your stage, is it time for you to rest?"

"Think about your doctoral studies, do you still want to graduate successfully?"

"You don't want to postpone your graduation either, do you?"

Ignoring Zhuang Yunpeng's wailing on the other end of the phone, Chen Han hung up the phone with a calm face.

Well, sure enough, pain is conserved.

When he transferred the pain to others, he immediately felt a lot better.

That being the case, it is better to transfer this pain to one more person to share.

Chen Han made another call with a normal face.

"Lin Ya, are you back home?"

"Don't forget the mission that Teacher Kong and Professor Li entrusted to us!"

"This is a paper to be submitted to a core journal, and the two teachers are personally guiding it!"

"We have to take it seriously. Once we relax for the holidays, we won't be able to raise our spirits again!"

"My side has already started to draw up the outline of the thesis. Let's work harder and try to finish the thesis before the first day of the new year!"

"Ten days is enough, how could it not be enough!"

"This is a social science paper, and the excavation report and data are all ready-made, and it is just a matter of summarizing and refining."

"That's it, I'll send the outline to your email in a while!"

Still ignoring the wailing on the other end of the phone, Chen Han hung up the phone with a smile on his face.

Well, after these two phone calls, I immediately felt refreshed and full of motivation for work.

Sure enough, it is better to be alone than to be happy together!

Turning on the laptop, Chen Han immediately devoted himself to organizing the outlines of the two papers.

He has an advantage, that is, as long as he devotes himself to study or work, there will be no other redundant thoughts in his head.

Parents are not at home to celebrate the New Year or something, it doesn't matter!
For Zhuang Yunpeng and Lin Ya, it was very painful and like years, but for Chen Han, the ten days passed quickly.

During these ten days, Chen Han stayed at home. Except for taking food at the door every day, he spent all the rest of the time wandering between the bed, desk, and toilet.

Hard work pays off.

Under Chen Han's continuous urging, Zhuang Yunpeng and Lin Ya really showed the same energy they had when they were preparing for the postgraduate entrance examination, and they just finished writing two papers with Chen Han in ten days.

However, Zhuang Yunpeng and Lin Ya are completely liberated and can enjoy the holiday happily.

Chen Han was completely at a loss.

Two papers were also written in a sudden.

How will you spend the next eight days of vacation?

There is no need to worry about eating and drinking.

Chen Han had already bought a New Year's Eve dinner package on the local group buying app in advance.

Meat, eggs, milk, vegetables, and seafood are all there, enough for him to survive the next few days when restaurants and canteens are not open.

It's just that besides eating, you still need to find some entertainment for yourself, right?
Chen Han had a headache, but soon he gave up thinking about this problem, and went into the kitchen with a bag of prawns and three-eyed crabs.

It's already four or five o'clock in the afternoon, and today is Chinese New Year's Eve, so let's finish tonight's New Year's Eve dinner first.

Although celebrating the New Year alone, there is still a sense of ritual.

"I congratulate you on getting rich, I congratulate you on being wonderful, please come here for the best ones, and go away for the bad ones, oh~ don't blame many people~"

While humming the festive designated BGM for the Spring Festival, while listening to the sound of firecrackers constantly ringing in his ears, Chen Han swayed in the kitchen, preparing dinner in a leisurely manner.

As a foodie, and raised by a couple who forgot their children, Chen Han obviously has a unique cooking skill.

I dare not say that it is comparable to the chefs in big hotels outside, but it is definitely not a problem to cook a table of delicious dinner.

In just over two hours, he cooked five dishes and one soup.

"Braised prawns in oil, steamed crabs, squirrel fish, braised pork ribs, stir-fried vegetables, seaweed egg drop soup." Looking at the table in front of him, he cooked the New Year's Eve dinner, Chen Han took a deep breath of the aroma with satisfaction.

"Okay, let's live together!"

At this time, tempting scents wafted from the neighbors, and every family prepared a table of delicious New Year's Eve dinner.

In the midst of busy work, the bright moon is already hanging high in the sky outside the window.

Blossoming fireworks are constantly rising into the sky and blooming.

Downstairs, there are many parents and children setting off firecrackers, laughing and laughing.

The taste of the new year is constantly rising amidst the sound of firecrackers, fireworks, and the laughter of children.

Chen Han stopped to watch a few gorgeous fireworks, and then looked at the children downstairs who were playing with firecrackers.

After a satisfied smile, he took the last dish and returned to the dining table. He turned on the TV that could not be turned on more than a few times a year, and tuned to CCTV's Spring Festival Gala.

"This is the feeling of Chinese New Year."

Stretching lazily, after serving a full bowl of rice for himself, Chen Han swiped his phone while eating.

Watch the Spring Festival Gala?
nonexistent.

The Spring Festival Gala is very magical. If there is no Spring Festival Gala as the background sound on the night of New Year's Eve, you will always feel that there are some shortcomings in this New Year's Eve.

But it is limited to using the Spring Festival Gala as the background sound!
Once you really watch the content of the program seriously, then this good feeling will be punctured immediately, leaving only endless groans.

Therefore, the background sound is the most suitable place for the Spring Festival Gala.

While eating and listening to the background sound of the Spring Festival Gala, Chen Han held his mobile phone and opened the class group chat casually.

Since graduating from university, the students in the class have been taking postgraduate entrance examinations, taking part in work, going their separate ways, and busy with life.

It's only during this kind of New Year's and festivals that the group will be more lively.

Those who give out red envelopes give out red envelopes, and those who talk about the current situation talk about the current situation.

When Chen Han opened the group chat, Luo Zhenghao, who slept on Chen Han's upper bunk when he was in college, happened to be pouring bitter water.

Lao Luo: "I really envy you, there is still a Spring Festival holiday!"

Chen Meiran: "What's wrong with Lao Luo, didn't you go back to work at the Suizhou Museum in your hometown in Hubei?"

Lou Sheng: "I haven't heard that the museum is closed during the Spring Festival?"

Lao Luo: "Don't mention it. In the past month, three large Dongxizhou tombs have been discovered in Suizhou!"

Lao Luo: "The Hubei Institute of Archaeology, the Suizhou Museum Archaeological Team, and the Suizhou Archaeological Team have all canceled their holidays and are busy dealing with this mess!"

"I heard from the leaders above that people from the School of Archeology and Museology of Peking University and the Institute of Archeology of the Academy of Social Sciences may all come in the next year."

"We're just going to do some preliminary exploration work first, and rescue and excavate a few remnant tombs that have been stolen."

Seeing Luo Zhenghao's reply, Chen Han was surprised.

Suizhou is not far from Jingzhou. When he was in Jingzhou, he never heard of such a big incident in Suizhou!
Three large tomb groups from the Eastern and Western Zhou Dynasties appeared in one city at the same time, which was unprecedented before!

Chen Han immediately put down his chopsticks and held his mobile phone in both hands, ready to ask Luo Zhenghao for an in-depth understanding of the situation.

But before he opened the private chat window with Luo Zhenghao, a phone call came first.

The caller was the tutor Kong Jianwen.

"Hey, Xiao Chen!"

"Happy Spring Festival!"

"Sorry to interrupt your Spring Festival holiday."

"Suddenly an urgent task came to the office!"

"Three large-scale tombs at the level of the Eastern and Western Zhou princes were discovered in Suizhou."

"Comrades in Hubei are all busy now. The situation is urgent, and the institute must provide immediate support!"

"Your ticket has been bought, tomorrow afternoon at 02:30, go directly to Suizhou!"

"This time, not only the Institute of Archeology of our Academy of Social Sciences, but also the School of Archeology and Museology of Peking University will also support us!"

"The task is arduous and important!"
