Chapter 002
Cheng Shijie looked at the golden beans and the string of copper coins in his hand, which meant that he was not dreaming.
The key question is, what exactly is going on in time travel?
Before he had time to think about it, his cell phone rang.
Caller ID - Wife.
Cheng Shijie carried the cake box and a bunch of copper coins, answered the phone, and went upstairs: "Hey, I'm back..."
"I worked overtime again yesterday!"
"Um!"
"They just bully people and don't give them overtime pay if they work overtime!"
Cheng Shijie opened the door and entered the home.
At this time, my daughter was still asleep in the room, holding a picture in her hand. It was a watercolor painting. It was very Picasso-style and could not be appreciated by ordinary people.
It took Cheng Shijie a long time to realize that his daughter's painting was a family of four.
Especially Cheng Shijie, who represents his father, is simply a ball, while his mother is drawn as a line. But the problem is that although Cheng Shijie is fat, he is not fat enough to be a ball, and although Xiang Hui is thin, he is not as thin as lightning.
"dad……"
Cheng Jiayue opened her eyes with joy on her face.
Cheng Shijie looked at his daughter guiltily: "Sorry, dad worked overtime yesterday!"
"Daddy makes money... to buy new clothes!"
My daughter's world is very simple. Even though she is only four years old, she already knows beauty.
"Xiangxiang!"
"No, brush your teeth!"
Cheng Shijie placed the cake on the dining table. The paint on the dining table, which had been used for thirteen years, was already mottled. Fortunately, the dining table was made of solid wood and was of excellent quality.
Xiang Hui started making breakfast in the kitchen. While cooking, she whispered: "Jialong failed the exam again!"
"Oh, this is fate."
Cheng Shijie himself has never been admitted to college. He only went to junior college, and he has never thought about how to require his son to go to college.
Although it is said that hard work can make up for failure, the problem is that without talent, no matter how diligent you are, you will only be able to study three books, one, two and key. Without talent, you will not succeed.
Xiang Hui was a little unhappy: "Just get used to it, what will happen next!"
"I'm not used to it. Do you want me to learn from Lao Qian and force Jia Long to death?"
Lao Qian used to be Cheng Shijie's neighbor and lived across the street. Later, after he resigned, he got better and better, and gradually got rich. He enrolled his daughter in piano classes, dance classes, calligraphy classes, and various classes. They were all crowded, and my daughter, who had just turned twelve, was driven into depression.
A year ago, Lao Qian's daughter jumped from the sixth floor of the Trade City while adults were not paying attention. The child died on the spot. Lao Qian's daughter wrote a very long suicide note to Lao Qian, claiming that she If you are not good at school, don't let your old money go to waste. It is better to practice trumpet.
When it came to Lao Qian, Xiang Hui was silent for a moment: "Even if you don't go to college, you still have to graduate from high school. Now, even a junior college degree doesn't count. What will happen when Jialong grows up in the future?" manage?"
Poor and humble couples are miserable because, to put it bluntly, they have no money.
Cheng Shijie knew that Xiang Hui wanted to enroll his son in more cram schools, so that even if he couldn't get into college in the future, he could at least go to work. But the problem is, Cheng Shijie is thinking about his daughter's disease. His daughter's disease is congenital heart disease, and the best solution is a heart transplant.
This is a disease of wealth. Rich people can cure it, but poor people can only wait to die.
Cheng Shijie didn't have much income, so he saved some money and wanted to treat his daughter. What if he met a kind-hearted person who could solve the heart problem?
The cost of surgery was an astronomical figure for him.
After breakfast, Cheng Shijie should continue to go to work as usual, but thinking about the golden bean... Cheng Shijie decided to take leave...
Cheng Shijie's boss knew Cheng Shijie's situation very well. Once Cheng Shijie asked for leave, it must be because of his daughter's problems. As long as he asked, the boss would approve the leave. Of course, since there was no overtime pay for overtime work, there would be no deduction for taking one or two days off. .
When he went out temporarily, Cheng Shijie thought of the string of copper coins. He suddenly remembered that copper coins seemed to be more valuable at this time.
Cheng Shijie came to the empty room on the second floor again. The light was no longer in it, but other cardboard boxes or drink bottles were still there.
At this time, Cheng Shijie looked at these copper coins carefully. Some of them were already rusty. After a rough inspection, he found that there were 561 copper coins in total, with a total of nine different specifications. They were from Changtai, Tianqi, Chongzhen, Wanli, and Jiajing periods. All are available.
Cheng Shijie didn't know the value of these copper coins, but he knew that Hansteel Group had a retired director who liked to play with copper coins.
Although I don’t know the contact information of the other party, I don’t know where the other party lives.
Chinese society has a network structure, and the relationships between people are also very strange. I don’t know people I know, but I know people I know. As long as I hit the people I know, I can connect with each other.
It didn't sound too difficult to find out. He made more than a dozen calls and went around and around, and finally found the other party's phone number.
The retired director's surname was Zheng, but he was only a deputy director and did not become a full-time official until his retirement.
Director Zheng's family is rich and he likes to be arty. He is well-known in the antique business and knows the authenticity and fakeness. He also paid millions in tuition fees and gradually became an expert in this industry.
It was the first time I met Director Zheng. Director Zheng was a very kind little old man with good energy. Of course, he lived in a better environment, in the villa area of Hanlin's famous residence.
Hanlin Famous Residence is the most expensive community in Hanhai City where Cheng Shijie lives, especially the villa area. It is said that any villa costs more than three million.
Director Zheng's nanny led Cheng Shijie to the villa.
"Director Zheng!"
"Xiao Cheng is here!"
"Director Zheng, please take a look!"
"I want to see what good stuff there is!"
Cheng Shijie gently placed a bunch of copper coins on the coffee table in the living room.
Director Zheng looked surprised: "So many?"
"How is it? Is it fake money?"
Cheng Shijie said pretending to be nervous.
Director Zheng picked up a professional magnifying glass and looked at it solemnly.
After a long time, Director Zheng sighed: "The money is real and well-preserved. It's just a pity that most of the money is worthless Wanli Tongbao, which only costs a few yuan each!"
Director Zheng put together a dozen of the valuable copper coins, pointed at one of them and said: "Longqing Tongbao Xiaoping coins have rust or adhesion on the edges. The price of such a standard Longqing Tongbao must be more than 3,000 yuan." The price of Xiaoping coins is more than 5,000 yuan, while the better-quality versions are not in circulation!”
Cheng Shijie looked calm on the surface, but was ecstatic in his heart.
In the end, Cheng Shijie's copper coins totaled three Longqing Tongbao Xiaoping coins, worth 15,000, and one mother's coin, worth 22,000. Added together, the number actually amounted to more than 37,900.
Director Zheng was so generous that he actually pooled the money and transferred it to Cheng Shijie for thirty-eight thousand yuan.
"Xiao Cheng, if you have any copper coins in the future, remember to look for them!"
"Director Zheng, I'm sorry, this is a coincidence, otherwise, these copper coins would not fall into my hands! But...if I encounter such a good thing again, I will be the first to find Director Zheng!"
"Easy to say, easy to say, Xiao Cheng, stay for a meal!"
"Next time, next time!"
Cheng Shijie is also lamenting that he still hasn't figured out why he traveled to Dengzhou, nor how he came back.
but……
With this 38,000 yuan, for Cheng Shijie, this is a huge sum of money, and it is also a guarantee that his daughter can live in this world.
Just when Cheng Shijie was enjoying himself, his cell phone rang.
"Shijie, there is an extra 38,000 yuan in our account. Could it be that someone else transferred it by mistake?"
Xiang Hui is a timid woman. She has also heard of the bank's routines. She is not afraid of 10,000, but is afraid of the unexpected. There is an inexplicable amount of money in her account. This is not necessarily a good thing. It could be telecommunications fraud, or It's a fairy dance.
Cheng Shijie smiled faintly: "Honey, don't be nervous. This money is extra money I earned. I thought it would take a while, but I didn't expect that they gave it to me so quickly!"
"Then, can you sign up Jialong for a cram school!"
Cheng Shijie didn't ask how much the cram school would cost. Money is courage. He answered directly: "Sign up!"
"Okay~"
After hanging up the phone, Cheng Shijie thought of a problem. Cheng Shijie was the only one in their family who made money. The bank card, his salary card, was in Xiang Hui's hand, and she also knew the password.
But the copper coins are real, so the golden beans should also be real. They might be worth more than these copper coins. If there is an extra sum of money on the card today, Xiang Hui might be scared to death.
Thinking of this, Cheng Shijie decided to quietly apply for a bank card by himself.
It's not that Cheng Shijie doesn't trust his wife Xiang Hui, the key issue is that he is afraid of scaring her.
After applying for the bank card, it was already past four o'clock in the afternoon. He took the golden bean directly to a Dafu gold jewelry store in Hanhai City.
A certain Dafu Gold Store has a very large storefront, almost three to four thousand square meters, with a dazzling array of items. Normally, Cheng Shijie would not come here because he has no money.
But now, he has a little money and is more courageous.
Cheng Shijie walked into a Dafu store very calmly.
Cheng Shijie's dress is not too bad. Hansteel Group is the leading company in Hanhai City, and its corporate benefits are quite good. It distributes clothes almost every year, ranging from suits, down jackets, jackets, casual clothes, shirts, etc. In addition to autumn clothes, underwear and warm clothes that need to be purchased by yourself, Cheng Shijie has purchased only a handful of clothes in his fifteen years of work.
The quality and brand of the clothes distributed by Hanhai Group are actually quite good. Suits cost about 2,000 yuan, and casual clothes are also from brands that cost around 1,000 yuan.
A man relies on his clothes and a horse relies on his saddle. Cheng Shijie's outfit is actually not shabby even if he is visiting a five-star hotel. Of course, he will also visit such places due to work needs.
"Boss, what do you want to buy? There is a recent discount on gold. Do you want to..."
Before the waiter could finish speaking, Cheng Shijie took out the golden bean and said, "Do you accept gold here?"
"receive!"
The waiter took Cheng Shijie to the second-hand gold service desk.
Cheng Shijie handed the golden bean to the appraiser.
The appraiser put the golden beans on an electronic scale and weighed them. The golden beans were actually not heavy, totaling 37.125 grams.
After instrumental analysis.
The appraiser looked at Cheng Shijie and said, "Boss, this golden bean of yours seems to have...been melted?"
Cheng Shijie nodded slightly: "Yes."
"You have been cheated. The weight may be the same as before, but it is no longer pure gold. It is now only 92.257%. The other ingredients are 5.7% copper, and... "
Cheng Shijie was thinking about the metallurgical technology of the Ming Dynasty, and asked: "How much can it be sold for?"
"Second-hand gold is based on the international gold price. It could be sold for 365 yuan yesterday, but it can only be sold for 362 yuan today. Your gold needs to remove 7.77% of impurities..."
The appraiser took out his calculator and made some calculations: "The total is 12,431.30 yuan. Do you need to sell it?"
"Sell!"
"Cash, or transfer?"
"transfer!"
"The text message is coming!"
"Your savings card with the last number 0488 received RMB 12,431.30 at 17:5 on August 11, and the current balance is RMB 12,441.30."
When Cheng Shijie walked out of a certain Dafu, he sighed.
It's just a pity that there is only one chance to earn more than 50,000 yuan a day. It would be great if I bought more Erguotou at that time.
That's how people are, greedy...
Cheng Shijie checked the time on his phone. It was already 5:30 in the afternoon. He remembered that he had not sold a gift to his daughter for a long time. The last time, Cheng Jiayue saw a shiny crystal music box in the supermarket and wanted it very much. However, Cheng Jiayue was very sensible. I know my family has no money to buy toys for her.
This little angel...
Cheng Shiying felt bad every time he thought about this matter. The sooner his daughter had surgery, the better, but the cost of the surgery was an astronomical figure.
Maybe, she doesn't know when she will leave him, and if she can live for one day, she will be happy for one day.
Cheng Shijie rode his electric scooter and walked into Jinjie Trade City and came to the jewelry area on the fourth floor.
Cheng Shijie stared at the crystal music box and asked, "How much does it cost?"
"129.99 yuan!"
The waiter noticed that Cheng Shijie seemed hesitant, so he pointed to another smaller crystal music box and said, "This one is cheap, only 69.99 yuan!"
"Want this big one!"
Cheng Shijie also knew that Xiang Hui might complain about spending more than a hundred yuan, but he didn't want to regret it.
I bought the crystal music box for my daughter, and a full set of study questions and drawing boards in the stationery section for my son Cheng Jialong. Cheng Jialong’s academic performance is not good, but he is very passionate about art, especially sketching. Cheng Shijie believes that his son’s level is not as good as those The quality of selling paintings on the street is poor.
After buying a drawing board and drawing paper, and walking to the cosmetics area on the first floor, Cheng Shijie remembered that since his daughter came into this world, it seemed that Xiang Hui had not bought any cosmetics and looked bare-faced every day.
I vaguely remember that when Xiang Hui was young, she was also a famous beauty from all over the country. If she hadn't been a formal employee at Hansteel Group, she might not have been favored by Xiang Hui.
"Sir, look at this sample set. It only costs ninety-nine yuan for an event now... This is a big brand."
"Bought it!"
Cheng Shijie carried these things and returned to his community.
He didn't call Xiang Hui, even though he spent more than four hundred yuan in one night, he was afraid that Xiang Hui would complain.
Even though we are an old couple, marriage still needs a little surprise from time to time.
When he reached the second floor, Cheng Shijie subconsciously looked at the empty room on the second floor. The door of the room was still unlocked.
He opened the door to the room involuntarily.
It's a pity that there is no light inside.
Somewhat regretful and a little disappointed, Cheng Shijie walked towards the door.
At this moment, a ball of light suddenly appeared in the living room.
The flying light once again became more dazzling.
Cheng Shijie quickly closed his eyes subconsciously, and then slowly opened his eyes. He appeared in the upper room of the inn called Liu Ji in Dengzhou.
As expected, it was daytime there.
