One day in April 1991, the old man who lived by the river was just about to take a little sand from the river to use at home, so he took a hoe to the river to dig sand.
He was digging sand by the river, when he suddenly heard a crackling sound, he suspected that he had dug a stone, and then picked it up and looked at it, and it turned out to be a silver ingot. At that time, the old man felt that he was too lucky, this digging sand, digging sand can dig up the silver dollar treasure, the old man picked up the silver dollar treasure and carefully observed, he found that there were words engraved on it, but the old man did not know the words, he did not know what was engraved on it? So he quickly put it in his pocket and ran back home.
After returning home, the old man was not steady in his heart, although he did not know the specific value of this silver ingot, but it was definitely valuable, so he was afraid that others would know that he had been poor for most of his life, and he suddenly dug up a silver ingot, and the excitement in his heart was not to mention, and the old man was also tossing and turning, and he had not slept all night.
Silver dollar treasure of the Ming Dynasty
It was not until the next morning that the old man found his son and told him about the silver dollar treasure he had dug up, and told his son that the silver dollar treasure was still engraved with words. After saying that, he took out the silver dollar treasure to show his son, and after the son saw it, he said that this is probably an ancient silver dollar treasure, which looks very old, that is to say, this is an antique, it is not a simple silver ingot.
After listening to his son's words, Zhang Laohan seemed very cautious, because although Gao Laohan was illiterate and a farmer, he also heard propaganda on the radio about cultural relics to be handed over to the state. Since this treasure is a cultural relic, of course, it cannot be appropriated for oneself, and it must be handed over to the state.
In fact, many people of the older generation, in their hearts, the country is the first, and the people at that time were really selfless. When the old man knew about this situation, he did not hesitate at all, he immediately asked his son to go to the city, go to the people in the cultural relics department, let them come to the home to identify it, if it is a cultural relic, he will immediately turn it in.
After listening to his father's words, the son went to the city the next day to contact, and after the local cultural relics department personnel and the cultural relics department personnel got the news, they rushed to the home of the old man without stopping.
After the cultural relics department personnel arrived, Gao Laohan personally welcomed them into the house and handed the silver dollar treasure to the experts for identification. The experts took the yuanbao, looked at it carefully, and then they told Gao Laohan that this is indeed a cultural relic, and this silver yuanbao is a cultural relic of the Ming Dynasty, which is of great help to the cultural relics department in studying the history of the Ming Dynasty.
After listening to the words of the personnel of the cultural relics department, Gao Laohan immediately told them that since it is a cultural relic, I will hand it over to you, and you will take it away for safekeeping! These experts did not refuse, and left with this silver dollar treasure. Before leaving, they told the old man that they praised this realization of the old man, and also told the old man that the state would give a reward to the country that handed over the cultural relics, and when the time came, they would personally send the reward to the old man.
Proof of lateness
After the people of the Antiquities Bureau left, the old man waited for several months, and did not wait for the reward they promised and deserved. At that time, the old man was also very confused, and he did not know what the reason was, after these personnel left, they never came again. Did you think they might be busy or not have time? So Gao Laohan waited at home all the time. Who knows, it doesn't matter, it's a full decade.
In the past ten years, Old Master Gao has also suffered a lot in his heart, and this incident has simply become his heart disease. He didn't particularly care about the reward, but he felt as if he had been deceived, and if he hadn't turned it in at the time, it would have been a good thing to leave the treasure to his son.
However, after the silver dollar treasure was taken away by others, there was no news, and he felt that his heart was particularly depressed. After ten years of long waiting, The old man really couldn't bear the torture in his heart, so he inquired around, and finally found the department that had taken his yuan treasure.
But when he came here and wanted an explanation, no one paid any attention to him, and the old man felt particularly wronged, no matter what? Always give him an explanation don't you? But this statement was never given to him.
The staff came to the old man's house with fake silver dollar treasures and large red flowers
At this time, the old man was already 70 years old, although it was very inconvenient to act, and his family also advised him to forget it, but he still insisted and wanted to ask for an explanation. Finally, at the insistence of the old man, they found a reporter, and there were also reporters willing to help.
Finally, with the help of the reporter, they finally found the expert who took the silver dollar treasure at that time. With the full help of the reporter, the cultural relics department finally sent the long-lost pennant to the hands of the old man and returned the silver dollar treasure.
The reporter took a picture of the old man
But what they said afterwards completely angered the old man. They said to the old man, "Why haven't we come to you in the past ten years?" It's not that we forgot, it's because the silver dollar you handed in at the time was a fake, not real at all. That being the case, we still want to give you a pennant, just to praise you for this spirit, and it has nothing to do with the cultural relics you have turned in."
However, after hearing this, the tall old man was very angry, and he asked the staff, since it is false, why don't you say it after more than ten years? Did you identify it at the time? Why do you take away the fake ones? Another important point is that the fake silver dollar treasure you are holding now is not the one I handed in at the beginning, and the shape of the silver dollar treasure that I handed in is not at all the same as this."
Ten years late in the big red flower
The staff did not answer the old man's many questions, nor did they explain to him much, the staff only told him that the silver dollar he handed in at that time was indeed a fake, and then they left. Although The old man was very angry, he had no choice, but this matter finally had a result, although the old man was not necessarily able to accept this result.
I don't know what you think about the encounter of the old man?
Thanks for the thumbs up!
