When Grandma Su heard this, she immediately became anxious: "Are you sure you didn't see it wrong, it's our Meng Meng?"

"Yes, Grandma Su, I could not have mistaken Su Meng for someone else. It was Su Meng and Han Chunming. Han Chunming got a new bicycle from somewhere. Grandma Su, you have to keep an eye on Su Meng and don't let her learn bad things from Han Chunming."

Grandma Su didn't care about Cheng Jianjun's instigation at all, but she was very nervous when she heard that Su Meng was with Han Chunming.

Because his son and daughter-in-law had already told her that if Su Meng wanted to find a promising partner in the future, she must not look for one in the same courtyard.

That's why she was always on guard and didn't let the boys of the same age in the yard get close to her granddaughter.

"Okay, I get it, Jianjun, thank you grandma."

Grandma Su didn't have time to talk to Cheng Jianjun and walked straight outside.

When Cheng Jianjun saw Grandma Su's anxious look, he smiled smugly.

"Han Chunming, let me see what you will do next."

As for Zhou Chen, he was waiting for Han Chunming to come back at home, but he waited until the evening.

"What is Han Chunming doing? Didn't he say he was nearby? It's already night, could it be that he hasn't done anything yet?"

After waiting for Han Chunming for a long time, Zhou Chen was too lazy to wait, so he walked out of the yard, locked the door, and went for a walk.

When he came back from his walk, he saw Han Chunming sitting on the threshold of his house with his bicycle parked next to him.

"Zhou Chen, where have you been? I've been waiting for you here for a long time."

"How dare you say that? I've been waiting for you at home for an entire afternoon, and I haven't even asked you where you've been, and you still have the nerve to ask me?"

Zhou Chen retorted rudely, then looked around and frowned, "You came here empty-handed, where are your things?"

Han Chunming smiled awkwardly, rubbing his hands, and said apologetically: "That, uh, that thing, I haven't bought it yet."

"Didn't you buy it? Then where have you been this afternoon? Are you kidding me?"

Zhou Chen laughed out of anger, it seemed like he had waited the entire afternoon in vain.

Han Chunming was even more embarrassed: "I just had something urgent to do this afternoon, so I delayed this matter."

However, Zhou Chen looked at him with suspicion. He knew what kind of person Han Chunming was. This guy attached great importance to antiques and would never let him forget about ordinary things.

"Because of a woman? The Su Meng in your courtyard?"

Han Chunming jumped up in shock: "Brother, can you tell fortunes?"

Zhou Chen finally understood: "It's nothing. With your character, who else can make you not even want your copper coins, except for that Su Meng you always talk about."

"Move aside, I'll open the door and we can go in and talk."

Han Chunming shamelessly followed Zhou Chen and pushed the car into the yard.

He followed Zhou Chen into the house and said flatteringly with a smile: "Zhou Chen, don't be angry, I will go buy the things tomorrow, don't worry, I will send them to you as soon as I get them, and there will definitely be no more accidents."

"hehe."

Zhou Chen responded with a disdainful sneer, saying: "I'm afraid that when you see Su Meng, you will lose your brain again."

"Look at what you said. I am that kind of person."

"What do you think."

Han Chunming touched his head helplessly, but he was thick-skinned enough and didn't care about Zhou Chen's teasing.

"It's this bicycle, Zhou Chen, can you lend it to me again tomorrow?"

Zhou Chen raised his leg and kicked him: "Get on your bike and get out of here. If I don't see the things before noon tomorrow, don't even think about borrowing anything from me again."

"Got it."

Han Chunming was kicked, but he ran out with a smile on his face, pushing his bicycle away.

Zhou Chen shook his head. Although he didn't have much hope for the copper coins Han Chunming mentioned, he was actually quite looking forward to it. He hoped for a good start.

On the other side, Su Meng, after returning home, was immediately interrogated by her parents and grandmother, asking her where she and Han Chunming had gone that day.

Su Meng became very impatient during the interrogation, and finally made up an excuse, saying that she had something to do and asked Han Chunming to give her a ride.

But Grandma Su and her parents were obviously still worried, and repeatedly warned her not to find a boyfriend in the same courtyard, and not to date Han Chunming. They all said that Han Chunming was not someone worthy of entrusting one's life to, that he was too incompetent and would not have any future.

After Han Chunming returned home, he was questioned by his mother and second sister. They learned from Grandma Su that he and Su Meng had gone out today.

There was something wrong with Grandma Su's tone at the time, and how could Mother Han not understand what she meant? She just didn't show it and kept smiling.

But after Han Chunming came back, she couldn't help but start asking questions, and warned Han Chunming to try not to provoke Su Meng, saying that she had high standards and the same was true for the entire Su family, etc.

Han Chunming's second sister, on the other hand, looked unhappy. Although she also felt that her brother and Su Meng were not a good match, she couldn't get over the fact that someone else had come to her house to say it.

"Chun Ming, I know what you're thinking. You just want to pursue Su Meng. I don't care about others. Anyway, I support you."

Han Chunming said happily: "My second sister still loves me. But, Mom, don't worry, there is really nothing between me and Su Meng."

Han's mother knew her youngest son best. She said in disbelief, "You don't need to tell me if there's anything wrong. You're not a child anymore. You should know the situation yourself. Also, what's the matter with the bicycle you rode back? It looks new to me, right?"

Han Chunming smiled and said, "This is not my car, it belongs to my classmate. He asked me to do something today, so he lent me the car. I will return it to him tomorrow."

He never told anyone about his collection of old items, not even to his mother and brothers and sisters, for fear of getting into trouble.

Chapter 639: Lazy Zhou Chen, Copper Coins in Hand

The next day.

Han Chunming hasn't arrived yet, but my second uncle Zhou Liangping came suddenly.

"Uncle, why are you here?"

Zhou Chen poured a cup of tea for Zhou Liangping, and as soon as they sat down, he asked curiously.

Zhou Liangping smiled and said, "I just happened to be taking a break today. It's been three months since you came back. You should have had enough rest. I want to ask you about your work."

Zhou Chen asked: "Uncle, are you helping me find a job?"

After resting for three months, he felt much better and was no longer averse to work, but he still had his own ideas about what kind of job he should do.

Even though he is only 24 years old, he must start now to maintain his health and prolong his life. He does not want to do hard labor or mentally strenuous work. It would be best if he could have an easy job.

In two years, the college entrance examination will be resumed, and taking the university entrance examination is a must. He plans to go to the archaeology or history department of a university to enhance his ability to identify antiques.

"Well, I came to ask your opinion on what you want to do."

"Uncle, to be honest, I don't know what I can do. How about you tell me what kind of job you have and I'll see if it's suitable for me?"

Zhou Chen had no doubt about Zhou Liangping's ability. After all, he was the deputy director of the branch in charge of law enforcement. He must have some connections, so finding a good job would definitely not be a problem for him.

Zhou Liangping asked, "How do you feel about working in our bureau? I can arrange a police post for you first, and then after a few years, I'll find a way to promote you."

"Don't."

Zhou Chen refused without hesitation. He had no objection to being a local police officer, but he knew how difficult this job was. Not only did he have to get up early and work late, he also had to deal with trivial matters and occasionally encountered big cases, which could be dangerous.

For a man who is determined to live for a hundred years, being a local police officer is relatively risky compared to other jobs.

The most troublesome thing is that the work of the local police is too busy and there is no time to slack off.

"Uncle, to be honest with you, I actually have plans for my future. The current situation is much better than in previous years. According to my speculation, the college entrance examination may be resumed in a few years. I want to take part in the college entrance examination in the future."

"College Entrance Examination, you?"

Zhou Liangping looked at Zhou Chen in surprise.

Zhou Chen was quite embarrassed because before he traveled through time, his original self didn't even get into high school. Now he suddenly said he wanted to take the college entrance examination. Who wouldn't be surprised?

"Yes, Second Uncle. During the years I have been sent to the countryside, I have figured out a lot of things. Knowledge can change one's destiny, and studying and going to college is the best way out. That is why I want to find an easy job now, study while working, and wait until the college entrance examination is resumed. I believe I will be able to get into college."

These words made Zhou Liangping look at him with new eyes.

Although his nephew was not a good student and did not get into high school, he was still relatively filial and obedient. He felt that Zhou Chen would not lie to him.

So he said with satisfaction: "Xiaochen, you have such awareness, which shows that you have really grown up. I don't know when the college entrance examination will be resumed, but since you have this intention, Second Uncle will definitely support you. Let me think about what kind of job is suitable for you."

After thinking for a while, he spoke again: "Xiaochen, what do you think of the archives room in our bureau? The work in the archives room is much easier than the front-line work. It's just organizing the materials. The work is not complicated. But if you go, you may not be able to get a position for the time being. You have to wait for a while."

"Does the archives room have to work night shift?" Zhou Chen asked.

"The archives room has shifts, and there will be night shifts."

Zhou Chen heard this and quickly shook his head: "Forget it, if I work the night shift, I will suffer from insomnia."

"You boy."

Zhou Liangping didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He felt that Zhou Chen was just making excuses. He must be unable to endure hardship, so he refused.

As a tough man who had survived the war, he was actually dissatisfied with Zhou Chen's laziness of being afraid of hardship, but Zhou Chen was the only male in their Zhou family. His eldest brother entrusted his nephew to him, and since his nephew was unwilling to endure hardship, then so be it.

"If you don't want to go to the archives, then you have to have a direction for what you want to do, right?"

Zhou Chen chuckled and said, "As for the direction, as long as it can be easier, without so many trivial matters that would interfere with my studies, and without having to work night shifts, the salary doesn't matter, and it doesn't matter if there is a regular position or not."

After all, in Zhou Liangping's ears, it's just one word: lazy.

Zhou Chen didn't care about being misunderstood. Anyone would have the same idea if they were in his shoes.

"If you want to talk about what you said, I do have a place to go. I have an old friend who works in the library. I can ask him and see if he is short of people there."

Zhou Chen's eyes lit up after hearing this. The library is good. There is no need to work night shifts, and the work is not too heavy. He can also read books at will. This job is really suitable for him.

"Uncle, thank you for your help."

"You are still being polite to me, but I have to tell you in advance that if you really go, you can't be lazy."

Zhou Liangping was still worried about Zhou Chen.

Zhou Chen assured: "Second Uncle, don't worry, I'm really not that kind of person."

He has traveled through so many worlds and suffered a lot. He is not really lazy, but he wants to complete the mission.

Zhou Liangping came and left in a hurry, saying that he was going to find an old friend to help him arrange a job.

As soon as Zhou Liangping left, Han Chunming arrived.

"Zhou Chen, open the door quickly."

When Zhou Chen opened the door, he saw Han Chunming carrying a large cloth bag.

"I'm carrying things, so it's hard to push the bike. Push your bike in, and we'll go in and take a look."

He carried a cloth bag and Zhou Chen pushed a bicycle. They walked into the yard, closed the door, and then the two of them quickly walked into the main room.

Han Chunming carefully placed the cloth bag on the ground and gently untied the knot.

"How much is in such a big bag?"

Zhou Chen had seen copper coins before, but this was the first time he had seen such a big bag of them, mainly because he had never been interested in them before.

Han Chunming opened the bag, revealing a dense mass of copper coins inside, in yellow and green colors, all rusty.

"Don't be fooled by the fact that there are so many of them. But I tell you, most of them are worthless. There are probably only a few that are valuable. Zhou Chen, go find an unused sheet. We are going to pour them out and look through them slowly. Search slowly."

Unable to find the useless bed sheet, Zhou Chen found a large piece of useless linen.

Watching Han Chunming carefully pour the copper coins onto the linen, it filled a large area. Many of them were rusty, and there were too many of them.

"Just look for them one by one?"

Zhou Chen looked at so many copper coins and asked Han Chunming in astonishment.

Han Chunming rolled his eyes. "Otherwise, finding old items depends on your eyesight, and finding old items on Taobao is the fun part. Do you have any gloves at home? Bring me two pairs."

Zhou Chen did not argue and took out two pairs of cotton gloves from the room. Han Chunming put them on his hands swiftly.

"There are at least several thousand copper coins here, and many of them are rusty. If I were to look through them one by one, it would probably take a long time."

It is not an easy task to pick out valuable coins from thousands of copper coins.

Some copper coins have rust on them, which hides their true appearance and requires special techniques to clean them.

Even Han Chunming himself might not be able to identify some of the coins, so he needed to roughly search through them first, find the ones that might be valuable, and then slowly compare them...

Seeing Zhou Chen also put on gloves, Han Chunming said, "Be careful, many of these are rusty. If you cut your hand, it will be troublesome."

"I know this better than you."

Zhou Chen is a doctor, he knows more about this kind of thing than Han Chunming.

He picked up a few copper coins and asked, "How do you tell these apart? Which copper coins are valuable and which are worthless?"
