On New Year's Eve, Li Gang came to Principal Zhang's house. The number of pedestrians and vehicles on the street was significantly reduced compared to usual. When Li Gang arrived at Principal Zhang's house, Principal Zhang was already waiting for him at the door. When she saw the thing in Li Gang's hand, she said angrily,"I told you long ago to treat our place as your own home and not to take anything from us. You said that we don't lack anything, so why didn't you listen? If you buy something again, I'll be really angry. Don't blame me for throwing it out for you.”
Li Gang smiled and said,"Which child doesn't go home to buy something for their parents during the New Year?"”Principal Zhang's anger subsided with just one sentence. When the old man saw Li Gang enter the house, although he did not stand up, he greeted Li Gang very warmly,"Little Gang, you're here. Hurry up and sit. Let's have a good chat. The auntie had already prepared the New Year's Eve dinner. Let's eat later." Li Gang sat beside the old man. He sat there unnaturally, moving his butt back and forth. Seeing that Li Gang was a little nervous, the old man asked Li Gang,"Your grandfather is very knowledgeable about ancient coins. I wonder if you have any knowledge in this area?”
"My grandfather did teach me some knowledge," Li Gang said modestly."Later, when I was in university, I went to the library to look for books on this subject. It seems that my grandfather also collected some ancient coins.”
When the old man heard Li Gang's words, he said,""Then tell me. The history of our ancient coins."
Li Gang tried hard to recall the knowledge he had learned from the book."The ancient coins of our dynasty have a long history, from Shang and Zhou to Ming and Qing. There were shell coins, wood coins, tooth coins, paper coins, gold coins, and silver coins. There were also iron coins. Coining coins was usually the right of the state. And when a country was stable, it would usually give up the power of the provincial level. However, as a regional city, there were actually three periods in history where coins were minted. This was rare in the country. The first period was during the Warring States Period, when a small square foot cloth coin was cast. It was made of bronze, with a flat head, flat shoulders, and square feet. It was 4.4 cm long, 2.6 cm wide, and weighed 3 grams. There was no pattern on the back, but there were three slanted lines on the middle and two sides. This was the common pattern of this kind of cloth coin. The second time Jiangcheng coined money was during the Tianqi period of the Ming Dynasty, which was 1621 - 1628. This was also the beginning of the coin-minting history of Jiangcheng. In February of the year taken, the court announced that the Tianqi Tongbao coins with the word 'Jiang' on the back were all made of brass. Later, the provinces stopped casting one after another, and the Jiangcheng Money Bureau was allowed to cast them for a few more years. Tianqi coins with the word 'Jiang' were already rare items today. The third period of coining money in Jiangcheng was during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty. The coins were also small, and the front of the money had the words 'Qianlong Tongbao.' This time, it had only been cast for ten years. This kind of money was also made of brass. The casting was fine, the handwriting was dignified, and it was generous and cheerful. It was rare now.”
When the old man heard that Li Gang knew so much about the ancient coins of the Chinese Dynasty, he finally met a soulmate."I didn't expect you to know so much about ancient coins at such a young age. Unlike your Principal Zhang, who said that I'm not doing my job properly at the mention of ancient coins. It just so happens that today is the Spring Festival. I have a few ancient coins here.”As he spoke, the old man brought Li Gang to the inner room and took out a few ancient coins from a small grid. Li Gang took a look and saw that these were all ancient coins with the word "lucky". He picked one up and said to his grandfather,"This is the Qi Fa Hua sword coin from Qi City of the Qi Kingdom during the Warring States Period. This was a sharp sword coin from the Yan Kingdom during the Warring States Period. This 150 baht back Lucky Sheep B was forged by Liu Bei of Shu during the Three Kingdoms period. This auspicious Yongan Five Coins was forged by the Northern Wei during the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and this auspicious cloth coin was from the Zhou King Jing period. Aiya, Grandpa, you have collected almost all the coins with the word Ji that have been circulating in our country for thousands of years.”
When the old man heard Li Gang's words, he couldn't help but say in surprise,"Little Gang, your understanding of ancient coins is too detailed. In the future, the two of us will have to spar more.”
At this moment, Principal Zhang happened to come out to call the two of them for dinner. When he heard the old man's words, he smiled and retorted,"You're playing with your ancient coins in front of Xiao Gang again. Alright, let's finish eating first before you take out your treasure to let Xiao Gang take a look.”
As the two of them had a common language, Li Gang and Principal Zhang got along a lot better at the dinner table. The three of them chatted and laughed as they finished their New Year's Eve dinner. At this time, the Spring Festival Gala began, and the three of them began to watch TV. At around ten o'clock, Li Gang felt that the old man should rest, so he stood up and said goodbye. Principal Zhang asked him to stay,"Xiao Gang, you can stay here tonight. You can leave after eating dumplings tomorrow morning.”
Li Gang's heart had already flown back to the company. He did not lie to Principal Zhang."Grandpa, my friend is still waiting for me in my dormitory. She will be worried if I don't go back. I told her that I would keep her company for the night.”
The old man said to Principal Zhang," Let Xiao Gang go back. They have their own lives."”
Teacher Zhang didn't try to keep him any longer and watched as Li Gang walked out the door.
Walking on the street, Li Gang wanted to take a taxi back, but after waiting for a long time, there was no taxi. He had to give up the idea and walk back to the company. Fortunately, this was a regular route, so it only took him half an hour to get back to the company.
Li Gang came to his dormitory. Through the window, Li Gang saw that his dormitory was lit up. He knew that Ye Mei was still waiting for him. Li Gang's heart warmed, and he quickly ran upstairs.
Ye Mei probably heard Li Gang's footsteps. As soon as Li Gang arrived at his dormitory, the door opened. Ye Mei threw herself into Li Gang's arms."Why didn't you come back? I'm the only one in the entire building. I'm afraid of death.”
Li Gang covered Ye Mei's mouth with his mouth as an answer. Ye Mei let out a " oh " and swallowed her unfinished words. The two of them kissed passionately. Li Gang could feel Ye Mei trembling.
Three months passed quickly. It was almost time for graduation. The day before he left the party school, Principal Zhang called Li Gang to his office. As soon as Li Gang entered, Principal Zhang closed the office door. She said to Li Gang with a serious expression,"Little Gang, you're about to graduate. Do you have any plans for your future work?"”
