Chapter 302 Offending the Son-in-Law
"Wait, what's the story behind this woman's marriage? Why is everyone on leave? Is it really okay to give out holidays like this? Don't the leaders care? Or is this woman someone important, someone with power and influence?" A researcher who didn't know the situation couldn't help but ask.
They were just too curious.
Archaeological work cannot be delayed even for half a day or a quarter of an hour, especially in a place that has been excavated.
Once they arrive, they will definitely need to quickly tidy up and organize the items, investigate who the owner is, and repair the artifacts. In short, they will be very busy in a short period of time.
And so, I was told that I would have my day off adjusted after the visit.
Oh, calling it a time off in lieu of leave sounds nice; it's practically a holiday.
These are the people who were also given a holiday.
Of course, no one would stop them if they wanted to go down, but there might be some problems with other aspects of their lives, such as household chores or management, because everyone was too busy attending weddings to prepare for them.
The key point is that these people also heard that attending a wedding only involves a brief meeting and a few auspicious words; there's no chance to even sit down for a meal. And yet, they're given a holiday, a vacation, a vacation for everyone? Isn't that ridiculous?!
But ironically, among all the people the researchers met, each one seemed happier than the last.
No wonder they asked the questions above.
However, the answer they received was: the girl had no special background; her parents were just ordinary leaders, and oh, now they've resigned, supposedly to follow her to the capital. If there was anything special about her background, it was probably that she was smart; she got into university last year and graduated after one semester this year.
However, this is not enough to warrant a holiday for the entire town of Berlin, or even several surrounding towns.
Yes, several towns.
These new researchers—or rather, the archaeologists—are going crazy.
"Nothing special about it?"
"What's wrong with you guys! We gave you a holiday, so we gave you a holiday! We didn't stop you from wanting one, it's just that the preparations might not have been perfect. Anyway, I'm not talking to you anymore, I have to go to a wedding. I heard everyone gets wedding candy. Sigh, I wonder if the Lin family has enough money for it. Luckily, I bought a lot recently, I'll give some to the Lin family so they can give it away." With that, the man happily carried away a large basket of wedding candy.
Archaeologists: ...
"I just feel there's something weird about this whole thing." One of them couldn't help but look at the others.
"I think so."
Everyone looked at each other, unsure of what to say.
This is really abnormal no matter how you look at it.
"How about we go ask the manager?"
"You dare?"
"I'm a little hesitant."
"Wait, no, look, isn't that the leader?"
"It seems so."
"But why is the boss dressed so nicely?!"
"I don't know." Everyone was completely bewildered.
Then the leader walked confidently to the group of people.
"Teacher," everyone greeted him politely immediately.
The teacher glanced at them: "Why aren't you resting today since it's a holiday?"
"Teacher, is it really a holiday? Didn't the higher-ups say we should finish the excavation work as soon as possible?" someone asked cautiously.
"Yes, teacher, we've only been here a few days and we're already on vacation. Isn't that a bit much?"
Although the others didn't say it, their expressions conveyed a similar meaning.
Do you know what it means to respect local customs?
"Huh?" Everyone was puzzled.
"Since the local area is on holiday, we don't need to raise any questions. We can just go along with it and avoid offending anyone later."
"But our mission..."
Do you think we can successfully complete the mission without relying on the locals?
"But this was arranged by higher-ups."
The teacher raised an eyebrow. "Alright, these kids are too naive. Today I'll teach them a lesson: 'Do you know why we need to follow local customs?'"
"Why?"
"For example, what would you do if you went to an unfamiliar place?"
"Talk less and do more."
"Then why do you talk less and do more?"
"Not familiar with it?"
"What else?"
"Afraid of offending the master?"
"Looks like you all understand. Since you understand, it's the same whether the host is here or not. The host is on holiday, so as a guest, even if you were sent from above, you should come along. Alright, you can all go and offer your congratulations." The leaders have all lived for decades, so how could they not see the strangeness in this situation?
Their task was simply to see this ancient tomb; everything else was irrelevant. As long as they didn't offend the locals, they could leave once the mission was over. What good was curiosity? Could it help them complete the mission faster or do anything else for them? It couldn't help them at all.
"No, but we don't know them at all."
"If everyone else is going, then we can go too."
"But……"
"Don't make so many 'buts', this is an order!"
"Yes!" The staff members immediately stopped hesitating.
The teacher breathed a sigh of relief.
Let's hope these people don't actually cause trouble.
Regardless of the circumstances, even a dragon has to bow down when encountering local bullies, let alone those who aren't even dragons.
However, the leader was genuinely curious.
Even if we don't investigate the reasons behind this, it would be nice to meet the hosts of the wedding.
Little Peach Blossom knew nothing of these things. She was very excited and happy, and the smile on her face hadn't disappeared since she woke up.
Yin Qing stayed with her daughter the whole time, and to be honest, she was a little reluctant to part with her. But then she thought that her daughter would get married sooner or later, and they had also agreed that they would go to the capital together with their daughter and son-in-law, so it wouldn't really be considered a separation.
So although Yin Qing is sad now, she is not really in unbearable pain.
All I can say is that Xiao Peichuan made a good choice as a son-in-law.
Without Xiao Taohua's knowledge, Xiao Peichuan secretly spoke with Lin Guangsheng and his wife, expressing that he would definitely treat Xiao Taohua well after marriage.
Of course, whether Lin Guangsheng and his wife believed what they said was another matter, but the fact that Xiao Peichuan said it and solemnly assured them made Xiao Taohua's parents feel at ease.
Moreover, Xiao Peichuan also mentioned the potential future for the young couple and strongly invited them to go to the capital together.
The Lin couple's feelings and attitudes were completely different when they decided to go to the capital on their own versus when they were invited by their son-in-law.
At that moment, Lin Guangsheng and his wife were truly happy.
Xiao Peichuan spoke very seriously, without the slightest hint of perfunctoriness.
The couple became more serious about their son-in-law.
Of course, some things can't be said just by talking; we have to see how things go in the future.
But no one can guarantee that what everyone sees in the future will be the same as what is in the present.
For now, Lin Guangsheng and his wife are very satisfied.
Even if something happens in the future, we cannot rely solely on speculation.
However, while Lin Guangsheng and his wife might not dare to say anything else, there is one thing they dare to say: their daughter, Xiao Taohua, is the most outstanding. Even if Xiao Peichuan doesn't turn out well in the future, they can always find another son-in-law!
Of course, the couple spoke frankly with Xiao Peichuan about this matter, and didn't think it would offend their son-in-law at all!
