Chapter 44 Chapter 44 There is something underneath
Yang Dai was shocked when she suddenly heard Han Lin talking about the past.
She didn't expect Han Lin to be willing to bring it up.
"Eat it quickly, or it will get cold." Yang Dai changed the subject and took the initiative to hand the fried dough sticks to Han Lin.
If someone else brought up old things that they didn't want to talk about, Yang Dai would definitely comfort them, but the person in front of her now was Han Lin.
When Han Lin was telling the story just now, he should have been reminiscing about the old times, but Han Lin's tone was flat.
Faced with this situation, even if Yang Dai wanted to comfort him, she could only keep the words stuck in her mouth and couldn't say them. Besides, she felt from the bottom of her heart that Han Lin didn't need comfort.
If such a thing still requires comfort, Han Lin would not have been able to hold on to the position of crown prince in the first place.
Han Lin stared at Yang Dai. Although he ate the fried dough sticks handed to him by Yang Dai with gusto, he didn't hear Yang Dai say anything else. He also felt that it didn't seem right to bring up this past event on his own initiative. He felt a little bored for a while.
Hu Ping was still waiting for them at the captain's house, so they naturally didn't waste any time and packed up their things and went out.
When Hu Ping arrived at the captain's house, he was having a happy chat with the captain.
Seeing the two people coming, the team leader was also very enthusiastic. Knowing that the three were preparing to go up the mountain, he took out the herbs he had prepared.
"This is for repelling insects and snakes. The weather is still hot now, and there are many insects and snakes on the mountain. You three should be careful." The captain handed the thing to Hu Ping.
Hu Ping took it and exchanged a few words with the team leader before the three of them went up the mountain together.
"We can't go deeper." Han Lin emphasized again at the foot of the mountain.
He never followed any rules when he went up the mountain by himself, but this time was different.
Although Hu Ping was young and strong, he had little experience after all, and Yang Dai was going up the mountain for the first time, so of course she had to be careful everywhere.
"Don't worry, Brother Han, I will definitely not cause any trouble for you." Hu Ping looked at the path ahead, his heart already eager to try.
Although Hu Ping is a local, he rarely has the opportunity to go up the mountain because his family values him and he grew up in an open and flat area in the county town.
This time when he mentioned the idea of climbing the mountain to his family, his parents still disapproved. However, when he mentioned this, the leader of the chemical plant construction site was also visiting his home.
Hu Ping and this leader have been meeting every day these days. The leader has a good impression of Hu Ping, and since he is a junior, when he heard that Hu Ping wanted to go hiking, he asked a few more questions.
Hearing that Hu Ping wanted to follow Han Lin up the mountain, he naturally talked about Han Lin.
The construction site leaders have a better impression of Han Lin.
In the past, temporary workers recommended by the Housing Management Department were all veterans who had already been well-trained, but Han Lin could be seen as a novice at first glance.
Although this kind of newbie will not slow down the progress, he will not be very popular after joining. Naturally, the construction site leader will not have any impression of such a young man.
My first impression was of Han Lin standing in front of the rising dormitory building, carefully calculating the number of bricks needed to build a building.
The leader originally thought that this kind of temporary worker would not have any great knowledge, and he thought that he was just showing off in front of him because he knew he would be there at this time.
But the leader soon discovered that Han Lin was not showing off on purpose. He just did mental arithmetic and got the number of bricks almost right.
The leader became interested and asked a few more questions, and Han Lin answered them quite well.
The second time was when Han Lin took the initiative to find him and presented all the data he had calculated during that period to his leader.
Han Lin asked the leader for guidance, but after the leader saw the data calculated by Han Lin, he found that it was not as simple as guidance.
After listing the data line by line, the leader discovered that the data on the steel bars was incorrect.
There is money to be made on the construction site, and kickbacks are unavoidable, so even leaders will be lax when making budgets.
But those people have now clearly crossed the line.
The amount of steel bars used in each building is increasing little by little, but because the amount of each increase is small, it is not noticeable at all.
If all the data were not clearly listed, no one would pay attention.
Moreover, Han Lin also predicted the subsequent steel bar usage data in his calculations, and it was still secretly increasing.
If you compare the number of steel bars in the first time with the number in the last time, you will find that the increase is quite a lot.
But everyone is used to comparing the quantity with the last purchase, so it has not been noticed.
After receiving Han Lin's data, the leader didn't say anything on the surface, but in fact he had been observing, observing the situation at the construction site and Han Lin's every move.
Until the people below reported the quantity of the next steel bar purchase, it was exactly the same as Han Lin's prediction.
The leader was furious and also took Han Lin to heart.
Afterwards, he handed the matter over to Han Lin.
Han Lin did live up to expectations and gave him a satisfactory answer.
Han Lin is efficient and quick-witted, and his leader is very satisfied with him.
Therefore, he quickly caught the attention of the leaders, and when they asked people to do things, they preferred to find Han Lin.
Afterwards, he even took the initiative to propose transferring Han Lin to be his assistant.
Although Han Lin was only a temporary worker at first due to his household registration problem, the things he encountered as an assistant to the leader were completely different from those he encountered while moving bricks on a construction site.
The leader originally thought that Han Lin would agree directly, but unexpectedly Han Lin refused.
Although it was said in a tactful way, the meaning of rejection was expressed.
It's not about playing hard to get better treatment, but about really refusing.
The leader also asked Hu Ping to investigate this matter, and the final result was surprising.
The reason Han Lin gave was very simple. If he followed his leader, he would need to travel frequently.
If it was just a short trip of three or five days, Han Lin certainly wouldn't mind.
However, it is impossible to work on a construction site for only three to five days. When it gets busy, you may not be able to go home for three to five months.
This goes against Han Lin's original idea.
Han Lin took the initiative to show up in front of the construction site leader at that time. He indeed made the decision after inquiring about the leader's background.
But Han Lin's original intention was not to be an assistant to his leader, he just wanted to get a relatively stable job.
He traveled through time for a while and got to know this world in detail.
Although the social environment has generally stabilized, small-scale wars still break out occasionally.
In addition, every place has a Revolutionary Committee. This functional department has great power, and its management is somewhat chaotic.
In short, in Han Lin's opinion, now is not the time to show his talents. Moreover, compared to showing his talents in this era, Han Lin now hopes to take time to be with Yang Dai.
Although power tastes good, he has already enjoyed it once and is not obsessed with it. Compared with the two, Yang Dai is more important.
Although he felt a little regretful that Han Lin was unwilling to be his assistant, the leader still had a good impression of Han Lin. After hearing that Hu Ping and Han Lin were good friends, he also thought it was a good thing.
Hu's father had always been on good terms with the construction site leader. Seeing him praising a young man so much, there was naturally no reason for him to stop Hu Ping.
After knowing that Hu Ping had been going to Huangzhuang Brigade from time to time because of Han Lin, he also sent a letter to his family.
After all, no matter what happened in the past, the captain of the Huangzhuang Brigade is indeed a relative of their family, and they should help when it is necessary.
Hu Ping more or less knew what his father was thinking, but since he had accomplished what he asked for and his father would not harm him, he never thought too much about it.
However, Yang Dai was still thinking about the team leader and his wife on the way up the mountain.
The team leader is a fair person. Although he sometimes has his own little thoughts, there is no problem overall, and the decisions he makes are all for the good of the Huangzhuang Team.
Now that he has a ready-made connection like Hu Ping, it is not surprising that the captain naturally tries his best to establish a good relationship with the other party.
What made Yang Dai feel a little strange was the attitude of the captain's wife towards Hu Ping.
After all, the two of them were from the same family. As a result, her attitude towards Hu Ping was not like that of an elder treating a younger person, but more like that of a maid treating her master, cautiously.
Yang Dai thought so and turned to look at Hu Ping.
Hu Ping was still in the same mood. He found himself an upright stick and was hammering on it, looking very excited.
"I brought a slingshot specifically. Although I probably won't be able to hit the rabbit, it's better than nothing." Hu Ping took out the slingshot from his pocket, picked up a small stone from the ground, aimed with one eye, and looked as if he was going to hit the prey in the next moment.
But unfortunately it was just a decoration. I tried several times but failed and got nothing.
"It's not easy to hunt here. Let's go up a bit. The terrain is more open." Han Lin glanced at Hu Ping and pointed in the direction.
This area is close to the original temple, and the terrain gradually becomes flatter.
"I knew it must be a problem with the terrain, and it has nothing to do with my slingshot." Hu Ping said as he put the slingshot back into his pocket.
As they were talking, the three of them had already arrived at the place and put down the backpacks behind them.
Hu Ping was very interested in the dilapidated temple. Not long after he put down his things, he expressed his desire to go in and explore.
Yang Dai and Han Lin also followed and walked up, not stopping until they reached the temple.
Although the temple has not been maintained, there are some messy things inside because a large group of people occasionally come here when they go up the mountain.
Han Lin found two clean stones and asked Yang Dai to sit down.
He stood up and prepared to look for straw.
"I'll make a scarecrow for you."
There was a lot of straw nearby, so Yang Dai decided to go with Han Lin, but they went in different directions.
Han Lin quickly gathered all the straw he needed, and when he returned to the temple, he found that Yang Dai had not returned yet.
He put the straw down, turned around and went out, and found Yang Dai behind the temple.
Yang Dai was standing on a high place looking down, and Han Lin quickly walked behind Yang Dai.
I wanted to ask Yang Dai what she was looking at.
After walking closer and taking a closer look, he suddenly said, "There's something under here."
Yang Dai was picking herbs nearby and noticed the terrain behind the temple. She vaguely felt that there was a small path, but because no one had walked on it for many years, the path was now almost covered with grass.
Therefore, Yang Dai's guess was just a guess and she was not sure. Unexpectedly, Han Lin was very sure after just two glances.
"There is a high possibility of a tomb below." Han Lin spoke again, meeting Yang Dai's shocked gaze, but his words were very certain.
