Chapter 4 Big Discovery

He couldn't bear such a big discovery and wanted to report it to his superiors and ask experts to confirm it.

"You bury this thing first, and I'll go to town and send a telegram now!"

Party Secretary Wang was so excited that he could no longer walk steadily and one of his rubber shoes fell off his feet.

An Ning and Xue Jingmo looked at each other and realized that this thing was extraordinary, so they covered it up again.

Within two days, several people came from the county. The leader of the group was an old professor.

They hurriedly went straight to the field in the backyard of Xue Jingmo's house. Everyone in the village loved to watch the excitement, and they all craned their necks for a while, crowding in front of Chu's house to watch the excitement.

I saw a bell the size of a jar placed in the courtyard of the Chu family, with patina all over it.

"What is this? Who are those people?"

"Hey! You haven't heard yet. Party Secretary Wang specially sent a telegram two days ago and called in experts, saying that cultural relics were discovered!"

"Ah? Found it in the Chu family's land? My mother-in-law..."

Jing Jing was also in the crowd. Hearing the comments nearby, he curled his lips in disdain.

"What kind of cultural relics are they? Aren't they just a pile of scrap metal? Don't even want to sell them to junk collectors!"

An Ning heard this, turned her head, chuckled, and said with contempt in her eyes: "An Ning, you should read more books to avoid people saying that you have long hair and short knowledge."

"It's just that you are ignorant." An Ning said softly with thin lips: "Then hide at home and don't come out to embarrass yourself."

Jing Jing looked unconvinced and pointed at the clock on the ground and said, "Tch, what's the fuss about such a broken thing? I can just dig up a basket of it!"

"Hmph." The leader, Professor Wen, with gray hair, snorted coldly while holding a magnifying glass: "This comrade, at such a young age, should not utter arrogant words."

He turned his head and looked at An Ning and Xue Jingmo, his expression unable to conceal his excitement.

"This bronze chime is very likely to be the earliest one discovered so far. It is already two thousand years old!"

"Two comrades, thank you very much for your significant contributions to our archaeological community!"

As the old professor spoke, he bowed deeply to the two of them.

"Hey, the old professor couldn't help it. We just discovered it by accident and didn't do anything extraordinary."

An Ning felt embarrassed. She couldn't bear to have an old man bow to her.

"No..." The old professor's eyes were filled with tears of excitement: "You can find the difference in it, and you don't treat it like scrap metal like others, which is already great."

Anjing's face suddenly turned red as if she had been slapped invisibly, and she clenched her fists tightly.

She couldn't stand the pointing fingers from people around her, so she ran home in shame and anger.

An Ning didn't pay attention to her at all. The old professor was still sighing and took a bundle of unity from the person behind him.

"The five hundred yuan here is to recognize your contribution! Thank you!"

The attitude of the old professor obviously made them refuse.

An Ning glanced at Xue Jingmo and didn't refuse.

"Thank you, Professor." She accepted the money and turned to hand it to Xue Jingmo, but Xue Jingmo refused to accept it: "Have you forgotten, our family's money is yours to take care of."

The old professor looked at them with a more meaningful expression.

An Ning blushed and felt a little overwhelmed for a moment.

"Logically speaking, this chime should have its own set of rules." The old professor added: "I still have to ask the provincial leaders for instructions and send a few more people to dig out the surrounding area. But these days, maybe I’m going to trouble you.”

"No trouble, no trouble!" An Ning said quickly. Compared with the money given by the old professor, this little trouble is not worth mentioning. The old professor is still busy and continues to investigate the surrounding area.

An Ning and Xue Jingmo had nothing to do when they were free, and the yard was full of people, so they felt a little uncomfortable.

Xue Jingmo then remembered that An Ning went to the market yesterday and didn't buy anything for himself at all.

"Let's go to the supply and marketing cooperative." He mentioned it casually, as if by accident.

"That's fine." An Ning nodded. This money was seen by many people, and it wasn't safe to leave it at home. He just went out to get a passbook.

Unexpectedly, when they arrived in town, Xue Jingmo took her to the supply and marketing cooperative and went straight to the counter selling cream.

"The most expensive thing here is a set for washing your hair and wiping your face."

The eldest sister from the supply and marketing cooperative looked at the young, talented and beautiful couple with a smile on her face, her eyes a little more teasing.

"Young man, you really dote on your wife!"

An Ning was surprised. She tugged on Xue Jingmo's sleeve and whispered: "Xue Jingmo, you don't spend the money like this. These are not very necessary..."

"It's necessary." Xue Jingmo interrupted her, remembering the empty space in front of An Ning's dressing mirror, his eyes darkened.

There was only a bottle of cream, and An Ning used it to wipe her face and hands.

Now that he has money, his wife must have what other women have.

"Little girl, just take it. This is your man's wish for you."

The eldest lady from the supply and marketing cooperative neatly took down a few bottles from the cabinet and introduced them enthusiastically: "This is a facial oil from Yangcheng. Even female celebrities use it."

After hearing this, An Ning couldn't help but ask about the price: "Sister, is this expensive?"

"Two yuan a bottle." The eldest sister paused, and saw that there was no big reaction on their faces, she felt confident.

“It’s a bit expensive, but the effect is great!”

"Just this, and others, pick the most expensive one." Xue Jingmo pointed casually: "Wrap it up for us."

At this time, the elder sister from the supply and marketing cooperative couldn't help but be shocked. This totaled to about twenty yuan!

What family background? Spend twenty dollars without blinking an eye?
  An Ning also felt that it was a bit too expensive, so he hesitated and said, "Why don't you buy some cream, it's good for me."

Xue Jingmo turned a deaf ear and went to pay directly.

When An Ning was thinking about buying him something, Xue Jingmo just shook his head: "I don't lack anything."

An Ning is angry and funny, but her heart is warm.

She reached out and hooked Xue Jingmo's arm, raised her head and smiled: "Let's go."

Xue Jingmo was dazzled by this smile, and his steps unknowingly faltered.

The two of them just held hands and walked to the savings bank.

An Ning deposited the remaining money in the bank, got a small passbook, and returned home with Xue Jingmo sweetly and happily.

"You are finally back!" The visitor said with a bad voice and gritted teeth: "I have been waiting for you for a long time!"

Xue Jingmo frowned and looked at the visitor with an unhappy expression: "Li Laosan, why are you blocking my door?"

"Ha." Li Laosan was as lean as a monkey, staring at the couple with a smile.

"Of course I'm here to get my money back!"
