In the afternoon, Ning Fei was playing with little dog and Little Fei at Qingfeng Temple. The village chief knocked on the door and shouted,
“Ning Fei, the people from the geological bureau are here.”
After Ning Fei opened the door, he saw a total of four people outside. Village Chief Qin was at the side, and on the other side was an assistant-like figure.
Ning Fei knew one of the two people in the middle. He was Zhu Mu, a civil servant of the geological bureau. The last time he discovered the Stalactite Cave, Zhu Mu had come over to give him a cash reward of fifty thousand Yuan and a certificate.
The other person was an old man. He looked a little hunched, but Ning Fei could see something different from his eyes.
Facial features were born from the heart. At a certain age, one could see something through facial features.
Facial features referred to natural facial features, not acting or emotional excitement.
For example, some people’s eyes were very bright, and one could tell that they were smart at a glance; some people had a fierce aura between their brows, and they did not look easy to provoke; there were also women who looked very rich, and it was obvious that they came from rich families.
This old man’s eyes did not seem that worldly or utilitarian. They were calm and peaceful, and he would not deliberately change his gaze when meeting people.
Zhu Mu, who was at the side, immediately smiled when he saw Ning Fei, and his eyes were filled with courtesy, he said, “Hello, Mr. Ning. Let me introduce you. This is a professor from the General Bureau of Geology of Jingdu City, a geological scientist, senior Xu Qiu.”
“Hello.”Ning fei greeted Xu Qiu kindly.
Xu Qiu looked at Ning Fei. At first glance, she felt that this young man was very good. He gave people a very comfortable feeling.
“Hello.”Xu Qiu also replied politely.
“I’m Still Broadcasting. You Don’t mind, do you?”Ning Fei asked again.
“No problem. It’s not a secret,”Zhu Mu immediately replied.
“Okay, please come in.”
The few of them walked into Qingfeng Temple. When Jiang Xue saw that someone was coming, she also prepared a pot of tea and went to the living room to pour tea for them.
The netizens were watching the whole scene. It was rare for local civil servants to visit.
After sitting down, Zhu Mu said,
“Abbey Dean Ning, it’s like this. According to the new Chinese cultural relics protection law and the Chinese ancient fossil protection law, there will be a relevant rating for the ancient cultural relics and fossils discovered by the people, and different rewards will be given.”
“Of course, there will be a certain difference between our reward and the price of the auction in the market.”
“Professor Xu is here specifically to grade the chalk cicada amber.”
“On behalf of the geological bureau, I sincerely thank you for contacting US.”
Zhu Mu’s attitude was very sincere. Ning Fei just nodded and said, “Yes, okay.”
After saying that, Ning Fei took out the chalk cicada amber and handed it over.
Ning Fei held a golden transparent amber in his hand. In the middle of the amber was a lifelike white cicada, which immediately attracted everyone’s attention.
Xu Qiu’s attention was immediately attracted by the amber in Ning Fei’s hand.
When he took the amber from Ning Fei’s hand, both of his hands were slightly trembling.
“Look at that scientist’s eyes. They were dim just now. I thought they were fake, but now they’re so serious.”
“That person is Xu Qiu? Oh My God! Xu Qiu is an authoritative professor of geology. Many of his discoveries have been written into geology textbooks!”
“This old man is so powerful?”
“Academician of the Zhongke Academy, What do you think?”
“I remember now. He has a very authoritative paper. It was about discovering traces of meteorites from Jurassic fossils, proving that meteorites were the cause of the extinction of dinosaurs!”
“That was his early paper. Xu Qiu’s later papers are all very impressive!”
“You mean, this old man is a very authoritative scientist?”
“That’s right!”
“Qingfeng Temple is amazing. You can even see scientists.”
Many bullet screens were discussing this matter.
No one expected that the geological bureau, which was supposed to deal with the matter of Ning Fei picking up the chalk cicada amber, would have a scientist specially come over.
In fact, Xu Qiu did not need to come here personally. He could just wait at the Qin City Geological Bureau. However, he knew that such an important piece of amber was outside. He could not wait any longer, so he immediately dragged Zhu Mu over.
Xu Qiu carefully held the amber in his hand. Then, he took out a small tube-shaped magnifying glass and observed it carefully.
The others all looked at him quietly.
The small animals in the temple were not disturbed by the guests. The Little Dog and Xiao Fei were playing in the backyard. The Little Fox was lying on the long corridor basking in the sun. The Little Falcon had flown to an unknown place.
“It’s the Cretaceous cicada from the Early Cretaceous period. It’s so well-preserved!”
After Xu Qiu confirmed it, he could not help but exclaim in surprise.
Now that he did not have any professional equipment on hand, Xu Qiu could only use the Cretaceous cicada to determine the approximate age of this piece of amber.
The more he looked at it, the more excited he became.
Currently, China’s geological research had almost no understanding of the Cretaceous period.
It was undeniable that in the field of geological research, China was far behind some of the world’s most powerful countries.
Especially the research on prehistoric creatures, which was even rarer. Chinese scientists could only accumulate some knowledge about prehistoric creatures by studying articles published by foreign scientific research institutions.
And now, Ning Fei had picked up this piece of chalk cicada amber, which was undoubtedly a great help to China’s geology research!
If the results of the research were obtained, China’s geology might even shake the entire field of geology!
This piece of amber was truly a priceless treasure to geological research.
“This piece of amber is too precious. Comrade, may I ask, where did you find this piece of Amber?”Xu Qiu was exceptionally excited, and his eyes lit up a little.
“I now suspect that that place is very likely the place where moths were born and evolved in the earliest Cretaceous period!”
Upon hearing Xu Qiu’s conclusion, Ning Fei could not help but look sideways.
This old man was amazing!
Ning Fei had always respected scientists who had dedicated their lives to science, so he took out a map to check the longitude and latitude of the mountain. He wrote down the longitude and latitude of the mountain on a piece of paper and handed it to Xu Qiu.
Of course, Ning Fei did not let the netizens in the live broadcast room see the longitude and latitude.
“The research on this piece of amber is of great significance. I will go back and seek instructions from the headquarters. I will try my best to fight for the corresponding rights and interests for you.”
Xu Qiu took the longitude and latitude that Ning Fei handed over. She already did not know how to thank this handsome youth in front of her.
A person like him was completely devoted to the field of science. There were very few people and things that could touch him.
Now, this amber really made this old man who was close to seventy years old feel that his blood was boiling.
It was as if he was still that hot-blooded youth from back then who could climb another high mountain of scientific research.
“Alright, I’ll have to trouble you.”Ning Fei did not refuse the rights and benefits he deserved and said with a smile.
He abided by the law and handed over the ancient fossil that had scientific research value. It was also reasonable for the higher-ups to give him a reward.
Following that, Zhu Mu said a lot of polite words of thanks to Ning Fei. Ning Fei only responded gently.
After a while, these people left.
Village Chief Qin Zheng stayed behind.
“Kid, you’re amazing now. Even a great scientist came looking for you. You Don’t know how high the status of scientists in my era was. If a scientist could appear in the village, then everyone in the village would be honored.”
Qin Zheng said with a smile.
Ning Fei knew what the village chief was talking about. He remembered very clearly that at that time, when they were in primary school, the teacher asked everyone what their dreams were and what they wanted to be when they grew up.
The answers were mostly scientists, followed by astronauts, teachers, doctors, and so on. They were all very good professions.
Of course, Ning Fei’s answer was Taoist. At that time, he was even ridiculed by many children.
Nowadays, the times were changing, and the ideals of the youngsters were also changing.
There was also a short video on the Internet where a teacher asked primary school students what they were most like when they grew up. Instead, the answers were mostly “Celebrities”and “Singers”, there were also quite a few primary school students who hoped that when they grew up, they could become idol trainees like Cai.
Everyone had their own choices, and this was understandable.
“I was lucky to pick up a fossil. I didn’t expect them to come up personally,”Ning Fei replied.
“Village chief, I just picked some chilies this morning. I Can’t eat them. You should pick some.”
Ning Fei wanted to pick up the chilies again, but he remembered that he was still broadcasting live, so he shook his head and said, “I’m broadcasting live. I can’t do it yet. I’ll send some to you when I have the chance.”
It was normal for the villagers to send some things from the vegetable garden to each other, especially since the village chief had a high prestige in the village. Many people loved to send him cucumbers, tomatoes, radishes, and green onions, which were not worth much money, however, it could bring them closer to each other, so the village chief happily accepted it every time.
However, the internet could easily magnify a matter. This kind of thing was reasonable and not legal. If Ning Fei really gave it away now, in the eyes of others, it would mean that the village chief had gone to the home of a fellow villager to plunder things.
Many people did not understand the truth and liked to stand on the moral high ground to criticize a person.
Ning Fei was very smart, so he thought things through very carefully.
“These are all trivial matters. I originally looked for you because the people from the neighboring Ma Shan village looked for me to matchmake. They asked me to ask if you would like to meet the girl. Now that you have a partner here, I Won’t disturb you anymore.”
Qin Zheng took out his pipe and added some tobacco into it. After lighting it up, he took two puffs.
For people like him who were used to smoking pipe cigarettes, ordinary cigarettes were completely dull and tasteless.
Qin Zheng looked at Jiang Xue and understood that Ning Fei’s marriage was set.
It was just as well. Widow Liu from the neighboring village liked matchmaking. She had long set her eyes on Ning Fei and annoyed him several times. Qin Zheng’s idea was that Ning Fei was the most outstanding young man in Qinshan Village, someone who would take a fancy to your little slope village.
Now that Ning Fei had a companion, he could also decline.
Ning Fei heard the village chief’s meaning and knew that the village chief had misunderstood. However, this kind of misunderstanding was also good. He really didn’t want the village chief to help him handle this kind of matter.
In a place like Qinshan village, the village chief was like a parent. Which family didn’t have a wife was also the village chief’s problem. Especially some lazy people. That was the village chief’s number one problem.
The popular “Old Xu, you want your wife but don’t want it”also had this kind of background.
After hearing the village chief’s words, as expected, one of the netizens started to play a joke. He posted a bullet comment: “Old Ning, you want your wife but don’t want it. As long as you open your mouth, I will send it to you in a while.”
This bullet comment also made the atmosphere in the live broadcast room happy.
Jiang Xue was at the side. When she heard the village chief say that she was Ning Fei’s target, she was initially a little reserved. However, when she took a peek and saw that Ning Fei’s expression did not change nor did he refuse, her heart immediately surged with joy.
Of course, she also knew that Ning Fei was trying to avoid trouble, but this feeling was still pretty good.
When Ning Fei sent the village chief away, he heard about another matter.
“Recently, a program team came to the village. It seems to be quite a big program team. They rented the house of the village’s Dong Tou li family and are renovating it. They said that they will shoot it in a month or two,”village chief Qin Zheng said with a smile, qin mountain village was becoming more and more popular, so he was naturally happy.
“A program team came to our village?”Ning Fei asked with great interest when he heard Qin Zheng’s words.
“Yeah, I don’t know what big star it is. Who cares? As long as it doesn’t affect the life of the village, it’s fine.”
With that, village chief left.
Ning Fei also directly returned to the backyard and continued to tease the three cute pets.
What did it matter to him? It was still not as important as the matters of these three little guys.
