Gu Wei blatantly lied: "I'm from Harbin."
"The Northeast! You can't get enough to eat there! A few years ago, quite a few people from our village went there to make a living and settle down." Old Master Gu frowned and tried hard to recall, "The family in the west end of the village took their wife and son to live with relatives there during the Lunar New Year..."
Gu Wei's heart skipped a beat.
Grandpa's father, who was also his great-grandfather, was named Gu Chengnian.
Could it be...
"Old man, this is all the effort I've put in to find this much."
The old lady then came out of the house.
"Xiao Gu, why don't you take a look first?"
"good."
Gu Wei temporarily suppressed his suspicions and took the items to examine them one by one.
These six copper coins were from the reigns of Emperors Shunzhi, Kangxi, and Qianlong. Some of them had many chips and dents around the edges, and some even had a layer of green on them.
Gu Wei's real intention was not what he was looking for; he said directly, "Three of them aren't in very good condition, so I'll give you two yuan."
After exchanging a glance, Grandpa Gu and his wife said, "Two yuan is a bit too little. Give us a little more, and you can take all three yuan."
Gu Wei didn't care about a few dollars; he just didn't want to offer too much.
"Since you're from the same clan, sir, I have to give you face. I'll take the three yuan."
"Then I, this old man, really thank you."
Three yuan can buy a lot of things, and the elderly couple are very happy.
After the transaction was completed, Grandpa Gu excitedly followed Gu Wei back to the village entrance.
From afar, Gu Wei saw that there were several times more people gathered there than before.
Before the two even got close, several people rushed over impatiently.
"Young man, what do you think of this old abacus?"
"There's a proper order to everything! I already told them I have a big bowl at home, so they should let my bowl go first!"
"I said it too!"
"..."
Gu Wei's attention wasn't on the objects in their hands at all; instead, it was scanning the people's faces.
Suddenly, his eyes flickered slightly.
Grandpa Gu couldn't stand it anymore and banged on his pipe, shouting, "What's all the noise about! You're all a bit too serious. Line up, one at a time."
