It rained for several days in a row during the Qingming Festival, which forced the Chen family to suspend their house renovation plan.

The prefabricated panels on the second floor have been laid and cement has been added, but the roof has not yet been tiled. When Chen Li comes home from school, she is always worried about leaks.

Look at each room carefully, then go up the stairs to the second floor of the study and spend half a day looking around.

"Brother, I just saw Bang Geng after school."

Chen Hao, Wang Pangzi, Hu Bayi, Cai Xiaoli, Jiang Hongjun and a group of children came in holding umbrellas and ran under the eaves of the study.

"I saw it too. He got on a bicycle. The person who gave him a ride must be his stepfather!"

Fatty Wang said with some envy, "My own dad has never picked me up or dropped me off."

Chen Hao said generously: "I can pick you up."

Fatty Wang is a little slow in other aspects, but he is extremely sharp in this aspect.

"Oh, you bastard, how dare you take advantage of me!"

Chen Li ran down from the second floor.

"Brother, brother, I found some money on the roof. It was raining and it fell!"

"How can it be!"

Chen Hao and Fatty Wang ran over, and Cai Xiaoli and others surrounded them.

Chen Li happily opened her hand, revealing a copper coin in her palm.

“It’s really money!”

Chen Hao said in surprise: "Brother, Lily found money on the roof."

Fatty Wang was faster, and the boy immediately went to the second floor with an umbrella.

Chen Feng has completed Chen Xing’s small gift - a wooden carved house, and is doing the final micro-carving, mainly focusing on texture and details.

Chen Li trotted over and opened her arms.

Chen Feng picked it up and took a look at it, and found that it was a rare cattle-herding coin, also known as the Hongwu coin.

However, this type of copper coin, used as a lucky coin in the Ming Dynasty, was copied in large quantities during the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China. It is difficult to identify it with the naked eye without professional tools such as a spectrometer and carbon 14.

"Picked it upstairs?"

"Yeah, it wasn't there yesterday, but I saw it when I went up just now!"

Chen Li craned her neck and asked, "Da Guo, is this money worth anything?"

"It depends on the situation. If it's a Hongwu coin from the Ming Dynasty, it will be valuable in the future."

The Hongwu cattle-herding coins from the Ming Dynasty were worth millions in later generations, but 99% of the coins on the market are from the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China and are worthless.

"Hehe, big pot, I'll give it to you!"

Chen Li said happily, "This must be very valuable. It must have fallen from the sky!"

Chen Feng nodded. He often picked up money when he went out, sometimes a few cents, sometimes one or two dollars, and he even picked up cigarette bills!

It is not unimaginable that a copper coin would fall from the roof of your house.

Once upon a time, it rained somewhere and a lot of seafood fell down.

"Brother, I picked it up too!"

Fatty Wang ran down from the second floor in ecstasy, his leather shoes making a clattering sound on the concrete stairs.

Chen Feng plans to lay a layer of wooden flooring at home after the house is finished.

"Did you find any money too?"

Chen Hao could hardly stand.

"Yes, copper coins!"

Fatty Wang opened his hand and held two copper coins, both from the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty.

Yongle Tong Bao was a coin minted by Emperor Chengzu Zhu Di in the sixth year of Yongle (1408). It circulated in large quantities due to the trade demand of Zheng He's voyages to the West and became the "international currency" in the East Asian waters at that time.

So, this thing is worthless!

In later times, exquisite and beautiful coins could be bought for just a few hundred dollars.

"Brother, is this worth anything?"

Chen Feng sighed and said, "Fatty, you have bad luck. Next time you see something good, don't touch it. Let Lily pick it up."

"what?"

"Ah, what? Your two coins combined are less than one ten-thousandth of Lily's."

With the Yongle coin as evidence, Chen Feng basically concluded that the coin Chen Li picked up was real money.

This starts at three million!

You can’t buy Yongle for 288!

"Hehehe, Fatty brother, you're unlucky." Chen Li was very proud.

Chen Hao asked, "Have you seen the rooftop?"

Fatty Wang nodded: "I've seen it all, I'm out of money!"

"Then I'll go look outside. Maybe some money has fallen outside."

"I am coming too!"

A large group of children were holding umbrellas and looking for money in the nearby yard. Some adults also found out and joined in, but unfortunately, none of them found a single coin.

It seemed as if God had dropped three of them on the cement slab on the second floor of Chen's house.

"Chen Hao, what are you doing?"

When Zhou Qing came back from get off work, he saw Chen Hao looking for something in the alley with an umbrella. He hurriedly asked from inside the truck bed. Ran Qiuye was also in the truck bed.

It was so crowded that two adults could fit into the small truck bed.

Chen Jianjun was wearing a raincoat and driving Zhang Haixing's motorcycle, with a Shazhu sitting in the back.

"Ah, Mom, Dad, I'm looking for copper coins."

"What are you doing? Get back here." Chen Jianjun slowed down the car. Zhou Qing scolded his second son and followed the car back to the yard.

Chen Hao searched for a long time but couldn't find one, so he went back in despair.

"What copper coins are you looking for? Did you take out your grandfather's treasure?" Chen Jianjun parked the car under the eaves to avoid it getting wet by rain, and Hu Bayi took out a large oilcloth to cover it.

"Dad, I found a coin on the roof. Daguo said it's very valuable!"

Chen Li said proudly: "It's more valuable than gold!"

A large yellow croaker weighs only more than 300 grams and is indeed not as valuable as a copper coin.

Chen Jianjun simply didn't believe that such a good thing would happen.

If ancient coins really fell from the sky, why did only his family have them?

"Really? Lily is amazing. She can even find valuable treasures at home."

"Yeah, now I can make money for Da Guo. Lots of money!"

Chen Li said this very seriously, her little face full of pride.

Chen Jianjun thought that Chen Feng was just teasing the little girl and didn't take it seriously. He knew that Chen Feng had a lot of good things in his hands.

After all, the rice, cigarettes and alcohol he brought back home were not something that ordinary people could get, and he himself didn't have safe channels to get some of them.

Ran Qiuye asked, "Where is Wang Kaixuan?"

"Looking for money outside!" Chen Li rushed to say, "He also found two coins on the roof, but Da Guo said it wasn't even worth my ten thousand."

Ten thousand?

Just in case?

Several adults couldn't help laughing.

"Chen Hao, go call Wang Kaixuan back, it's time to make up for the missed lessons!"

Chen Li felt gloating when she heard this.

To get full marks, you only need to copy a few words and you don’t need to make up an hour of class.

There are no secrets in Beijing. As long as there is a little news, it will spread to everyone.

The story of Chen Feng picking up money on the roof, within half an hour, residents of nearby yards came out to look for the money.

Several people also came to Chen's house to ask how much money they had picked up.

"What money? Chen Feng just dropped three copper coins on the roof to amuse his three children."

Chen Jianjun has a high reputation and everyone knows that he never lies.

"That's what I was saying. How could money fall on a rainy day? The bank wasn't blown up."

"Just a bunch of stupid kids, talking nonsense."

Chen Jianjun was confused.

How did it become that the bank was bombed?
