Chapter 121: Family Reunion (Text)
"Big brother! You don't have to worry about that! Uncle Wu called out according to the rules of his hometown, and called his "brother-in-law" "brother" here, Wu Chen's father was the eldest brother-in-law, so he always called him the eldest brother.
"Broaden your horizons! You see, when the reform and opening up was just beginning, weren't many government officials going to sea? That's all capable! Not all of them have been sent yet! Don't worry, Xiao Chen won't suffer anything he does! ”
Wu Chen was speechless for a while, his uncle had too much confidence in himself, and he said "Uncle Mother loves his nephew", which is not wrong at all! Just now, my uncle seemed to be extremely proud of his status as an "official", but in the blink of an eye, his tone changed, how unfirm his position was!
"That can't be tossed around! Such a big thing...... "Dad Wu was still a little unwilling, spit out a puff of smoke, and kept a straight face.
"Okay, don't worry about him, he blames Xiao Chen for not discussing it with him!" Wu's mother came out of his old bottom at once, a husband and wife for decades, who doesn't know who he is.
"Ahem-" Dad Wu was still serious, choked on Mama Wu's words, and coughed so much that tears came out.
"Times are different. Anyway, you can make money, it's better than anything else! "Mother Wu was obviously persuaded by her younger brother, think about it, is it better to have this net worth than to suffer in the agency? Xiao Chen has not been beautiful at all in the past few years!
"By the way, Chen, you just talked about buying and selling antiques? Didn't I tell you on the phone last time, your second aunt's family dug up some copper coins, and I helped you pick two good ones to keep. Wait a minute, I'll get it for you!! Mother Wu skipped over this stubble, and immediately remembered that there were still two treasures hidden in the house, turned around to the room, and checked them out.
"Okay, Dad, don't worry, I won't mess around!" Wu Chen looked at his mother's back, knowing that his difficulties had passed, and when he saw that his father was still a little hesitant, he smiled and scattered cigarettes for him and his uncle, and made tea with a pot to appease his father's ravaged heart.
Dad Wu was not good at words, but now he sees that they have changed their positions, but one is more positive than the other, so he doesn't say anything anymore, smokes a stuffy cigarette, and continues to pretend to be profound, his son is older, and the old woman's mouth is not forgiving, low-key is a blessing!
"By the way, uncle, what about the eldest brother?" Wu Chen comforted the old father, and took the opportunity to ask his uncle, who also has an eldest son, who is eight or nine years older than this little girl, and is almost an adult now.
"Alas, don't mention it! The feng shui of our village has been uprooted in your family, you see, besides you, who else can read? Your eldest brother hasn't graduated from junior high school yet! At the end of last year, I stopped reading, and I went to work with others, and I don't know if I can support myself! At the mention of his son, the uncle also looked sad, smoking a cigarette and sighing for a long time.
"This kid! I didn't scold him less when I was a child! If only there were half of you! My aunt also chimed in.
Wu Chen smiled bitterly, he was most afraid of being used as a benchmark, he had a few catties and a few taels, and he still knew it. But what my aunt said is interesting, according to her request, the eldest brother is really up to the standard. Wu Chen himself is a master's degree, there was no kindergarten at that time, and he also studied books for eighteen years before and after, and the eldest brother is about to graduate from junior high school, which can be regarded as completing nine years of compulsory education, which is not half of it.
People in the village have always valued reading, and all children have been enrolled in school since childhood, but there are very few who can persist until they graduate from high school.
Everyone is like this, and they don't know what is going on with Lu Dao, and Wu Chen doesn't know how Lu Dao should answer for a while. When he was hesitating, he saw his mother walking out quickly, and before he could sit down, he gave Wu Chen the two coins he was holding in his hand.
Wu Chen took it, put it in the palm of his hand, and looked at it according to the light, these two ancient coins are well preserved, they should have been carefully cleaned by his mother, and the loess impurities stuck to them are basically gone, only some brown rust spots are left between the strokes.
"How?!" Mother Wu looked at Wu Chen excitedly, she couldn't tell what was a treasure and what wasn't, but her son was doing it, didn't he make a lot of money!
"Hehe, Mom, you're probably going to be disappointed. These are just common copper coins. Wu Chen was a little ridiculous when he saw his mother's appearance, so he had to think about it and said, "This one, it is Xianfeng Heavy Treasure Folding Ten Back Star Moon Money, you see that it is also written here 'when fifty', the regular script is written, that is, it can be used as fifty dollars, don't be happy first, it's not expensive when fifty, this is very common, and now on the market, it is only a few dozen yuan." ”
"Just a few dozens? Don't talk nonsense, how can you say that this is also ancient money! Wu's mother looked incredible, although her son said a lot of things that he didn't understand, but the last sentence was the point!
This is not easy to explain, Wu Chen stubbornly picked up another one and said: "This is even less valuable, it is Zhenghe Tongbao Xiaoping bareback, seal book, I saw it in the market last time, and the other party offered two yuan......"
"Is the one you are looking at fake, you can't buy a few green onions for two dollars!!" Mother Wu was suddenly a little angry, two yuan, isn't this bullying! Even if it's fake, it's going to cost this price!
"Mainly, it's too much." Wu Chen had no choice, so he had to tell them a little, not all ancient coins are valuable, like these big road goods, they often dig a lot of them, although two yuan is indeed ridiculously cheap, but the market is like this, is it rare to be expensive, no one wants the stones on the street, so you have to dig the strange shape.
"Hey, I also told the second child, if it's worth it, go back and kill the pig, and eat it!" As soon as Wu's mother heard it, she knew that her son was talking about something, and her face wrinkled. I really can't tell his second aunt about this!
"Hehe, it's dug up anyway, so keep it for yourself if it's worthless!" Uncle Wu saw the appearance of the eldest sister, so he persuaded him, but before he finished speaking, he felt that something was wrong, "No, I said eldest sister, where did you come from the pig?" ”
"Don't you have a lot of heads!" Mother Wu's words made the little brother's forehead sweat, these two sisters are really good, the idea has hit their heads, and they don't necessarily have to say wow to themselves. No wonder these days, the big white pigs at home are restless day and night, irritable, and dare to know that they are being remembered.
Wu Chen didn't care where his uncle was entangled, although these two copper coins were not valuable, they were well preserved, and after being carefully cleaned by his mother, the dark yellow copper surface was soft and restrained, and it was comfortable to look at.
He kept one for himself, and was going to go back and tie it with a red rope, hang it in the rearview mirror in the car, and keep it safe in and out.
The other one was given to the little girl as a pendant, the child is weak in yang, and a red rope is tied to an ancient coin on the body, which can ward off evil spirits and suppress fright, protect the body and dispel diseases.
Is the ancient coin psychic, the old family believes in this!
