Coach: Coaching the Grizzlies at the beginning, playing the bantam

Today is the weekend and the sun is shining outside. Lu Yong jumped out of bed early in the morning, washed up quickly, and started tinkering with the wardrobe.

He picked up the shirt and tried it on himself, then put on the pants, muttering, "I want to dress nicely today to take Hannah out. Which one is suitable?"

"Baby, are you up yet? Today we are going to check in at Gao Junyu's former residence in Taiyuan. I am so looking forward to it!"

Lu Yong shouted towards the bedroom, his voice full of excitement.

Hannah drowsily responded from inside the house: "I'm coming, I'll be right there."

After a while, Hannah came out, wearing a light yellow dress and with her hair casually draped over her shoulders, looking sleepy.

Lu Yong's eyes widened, and he quickly went up to her, holding her hand and saying, "Wow, you are so beautiful today, you are just like a fairy descending to earth!"

Hannah was so amused that she giggled and hit him lightly: "You are the only one who knows how to coax people."

The two of them had a simple breakfast and drove off.

Along the way, the sunlight shone on them through the car window, feeling warm.

Lu Yong drove while chatting with Hannah and played with her from time to time.

"Hannah, do you know who Gao Junyu is?" Lu Yong suddenly asked.

Hannah tilted her head and thought for a while, then said, "I seem to have some impression of him. He was a revolutionary martyr, but I don't remember the details clearly."

Lu Yong smiled proudly: "Haha, let me tell you about it. Gao Junyu is the pride of our Shanxi Province. He was an early political activist and theorist of the Communist Party of China, and one of the pioneers of the May Fourth Movement. His life is legendary. He sacrificed his life for the revolutionary cause, and he shed his blood. He is very admirable."

Hannah listened attentively and said admiringly, "Wow, you know so much about this, you are worthy of being my encyclopedia boyfriend. Let's go to his former residence today, I'm sure we can learn a lot."

The two chatted and laughed, and soon arrived at Gao Junyu's former residence.

The former residence is located on a quaint street, surrounded by green trees, making it particularly peaceful.

Lu Yong parked the car, took Hannah's hand, and said excitedly: "Let's go in and take a look."

As soon as you walk into the gate of the former residence, a strong historical atmosphere hits you.

There are some old-fashioned farm tools and daily necessities placed in the yard, as if telling stories of the past.

Hannah looked at these things with great curiosity. She touched here, looked there, and kept making exclamations.

"Lu Yong, look at this stone mill. I saw it in my hometown when I was a child, but it wasn't this old." Hannah said, pointing to the stone mill in the corner of the yard.

Lu Yong walked over and said with a smile: "This is an antique. People used it to grind flour in the past. Come, let me push it for you and give it a try."

As he said this, he rolled up his sleeves, put his hands on the handle of the millstone, and pushed hard.

Hannah was shouting excitedly beside them: "Come on, come on!" She looked like a little fan cheering for an athlete.

After pushing for a few rounds, both were exhausted and out of breath, but they were laughing so hard that they fell over.

Lu Yong wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "I didn't expect that pushing a stone mill would be so strenuous. It seems that we still lack exercise in our daily lives."

Hannah rolled her eyes at him and said, "You're the only one who talks too much. Let's go inside and take a look."

They walked into the main room of the former residence, where items used by Gao Junyu during his lifetime and some precious historical photos were displayed.

Hannah looked at each photo carefully, her eyes full of respect.

She pointed to a photo of Gao Junyu and his comrades and said, "Lu Yong, look at them. Their eyes are full of determination and courage. It's really admirable."

Lu Yong nodded and said, "Yes, they sacrificed their lives for their ideals and beliefs. The good life we ​​have now is all paid for with their blood."

Just then, a noisy sound suddenly came.

Lu Yong and Hannah walked out of the room curiously, only to see a group of tourists gathered in a corner, seemingly arguing about something.

Lu Yong pulled Hannah in. It turned out that a tourist accidentally knocked over a vase, and the vase broke into pieces.

The tourist turned pale with fear and stammered, "I...I didn't mean to do that. What...what should I do?"

People around him blamed him: "How could you be so careless? This is a cultural relic!" "That's right, how much money will you have to pay for it!"

Lu Yong felt a little sorry when he saw the panicked tourist.

He walked up and said, "Everyone, stop arguing. It's already happened. Let's think of a way to solve it."

He squatted down, looked at the broken pieces of the vase carefully, then stood up and said to the staff: "Hello, I also know a little about archaeology. Although this vase may not be a particularly precious cultural relic, it is also part of the former residence. I think we can clean up the site first, and then discuss compensation."

The staff member said with some embarrassment: "This... this has to be decided by the leader."

Lu Yong smiled and said, "I understand, but we can do what we can to minimize the damage. How about this? I will clean up the debris with this tourist, and then we will talk about it when the leader arrives."

The staff member thought about it and nodded. Lu Yong turned to the tourist and said, "Don't worry, we can handle this together."

The tourist looked at Lu Yong gratefully and said, "Thank you so much. If it weren't for you, I don't know what I would do."

Lu Yong and the tourist worked together to pick up the broken pieces of the vase one by one and put them into a bag.

Hannah was also helping. While picking up the debris, she smiled and said, "Lu Yong, you have a strong sense of justice. You always stand up at critical moments."

Lu Yong smiled proudly: "Of course, I am your superhero."

Just as they were cleaning up the debris, the leader of the former residence rushed over.

After learning what happened, the leader expressed his appreciation for Lu Yong's approach.

He said, "Young man, you did a great job. Although this vase is not a particularly valuable cultural relic, it is also a treasure of our former residence. However, since you understand archaeology and are so proactive in handling the matter, we will not pursue the tourist's liability for compensation, but we hope that he will be more careful in the future."

The tourist was so moved that tears welled up in his eyes. He held Lu Yong's hand tightly and said, "Thank you so much. You are my lifesaver. I will repay you in the future if I have the chance."

Lu Yong smiled and said, "Don't be so polite. We are all tourists, and it is only natural for us to help each other."

People around him gave Lu Yong a thumbs up. Some said, "This young man is really good and responsible." "That's right. There are not many young people like him nowadays."

Hannah looked at Lu Yong with pride in her eyes and said to him, "You are really great."

After this little episode, Lu Yong and Hannah's visit to the former residence became more meaningful.

They continued to visit each room and listened to the tour guide telling Gao Junyu's life story, as if they had traveled back to that magnificent era.

It was already noon when we came out of the former residence.

Lu Yong touched his stomach and said, "Baby, I'm hungry. Let's go eat something delicious."

Hannah smiled and said, "Okay, I know there's a delicious Shanxi noodle restaurant nearby, let's go try it."

The two came to the noodle shop and found a seat to sit down.

Hannah skillfully ordered several Shanxi specialty noodles, including knife-cut noodles, carved noodles, and oat noodle kuoluoluo.

After a while, the steaming noodles were served.

Lu Yong's mouth was watering as he looked at the delicious food in front of him. He could not wait to pick up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of knife-cut noodles, put it in his mouth, and said while eating: "Mm, it's delicious. The noodles are chewy and the soup is especially delicious."

Hannah looked at him wolfing down his food and said with a smile, "Eat slowly, no one is trying to snatch it from you. Try this oat noodle kuoluoluo, it's also delicious." As she spoke, she picked up a oat noodle kuoluoluo, dipped it in some of the sauce, and put it in Lu Yong's bowl.

Lu Yong took a bite and squinted his eyes. He said, "Wow, this is delicious too. It has a soft and glutinous texture and rich flavor. Hannah, you really know how to find a place. I am so satisfied with this meal."

The two of them ate noodles and chatted, and the atmosphere was very warm.

After finishing their meal, they decided to walk around the neighborhood to digest their food.

There are many small shops on both sides of the street, selling a variety of specialty goods.

Hannah was like a little butterfly, shuttling between the shops, looking at this and touching that.

"Lu Yong, look at this hand-embroidered sachet, it's so beautiful." Hannah said while holding a sachet and couldn't let it go.

Lu Yong walked over, looked at the sachet, and said, "It's really pretty. If you like it, buy it."

Hannah hesitated for a moment and said, "Forget it. It's a little expensive."

Lu Yong smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. If you like it, we'll buy it."

As he said this, he paid the money and handed the sachet to Hannah.

Hannah took the sachet and felt very happy. She stood on tiptoes and kissed Lu Yong on the face.

Lu Yong felt a little embarrassed by her kiss, and scratched his head with his hand while smiling.

The two continued walking on the street, and suddenly, a light rain began to fall from the sky.

Lu Yong quickly took Hannah's hand and said, "It's raining. Let's find a place to take shelter from the rain."

They looked around and found a cafe in front.

The two walked into the cafe and found a seat by the window. Lu Yong ordered two cups of coffee and some snacks.

After a while, the waiter came over with a tray and placed two cups of coffee and a plate of exquisite desserts on the table.

Hannah couldn't wait to pick up the latte and took a sip. A satisfied smile immediately appeared on her face. "Wow, it's delicious. The salty aroma of sea salt and the sweetness of caramel blend perfectly, plus the mellowness of coffee. The taste is amazing!"

Looking at her cute appearance, Lu Yong couldn't help but reach out and scratch her nose: "Little greedy cat, drink slowly, don't burn yourself."

As he spoke, he also picked up his American coffee, took a sip, and felt the bitterness and sweetness of the coffee spreading on the tip of his tongue.

The two drank coffee and enjoyed waffles.

Hannah picked up a waffle with a fork, which was covered with cream and strawberries, and handed it to Lu Yong's mouth: "Open your mouth, ah-"

Lu Yong smiled, opened his mouth, took a bite, and it was very sweet. He gave a thumbs up and said, "Well, this snack really didn't disappoint us."

The two of them smiled at each other, enjoying this warm and pleasant afternoon.

Before they knew it, they looked out the window and saw that the rain had stopped.

Lu Yong looked out the window, stood up, and said, "Hannah, the rain has stopped, let's go too."

Hannah said, "Okay! Let's go."

As they spoke, the two stood up and prepared to leave the cafe. After paying the bill, they walked out of the cafe hand in hand.

It had just rained, the air outside was particularly fresh, and there was still some water on the streets.

Lu Yong looked at Hannah and said, "Baby, it's still early. Where are we going next?"

Hannah tilted her head and thought for a moment, then said, "Why don't we go take a look at the dragon-shaped goblet sculpture? I heard that the sculpture is very special."

Lu Yong smiled and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you. Let's go."

This time, it was Lu Yong who was the most excited along the way. He kept asking, "Hannah, what exactly is the Dragon Scale Goblet? Why is it made into a sculpture? Is there any story behind it?"

Hannah was very proud but patient in explaining: "The Dragon Scale Gong is a bronze treasure from the late Shang Dynasty. It is shaped like an exquisite boat and is covered with dragon scale-like patterns. The craftsmanship is superb. It was made into a sculpture, probably to let more people understand the wisdom and art of our ancestors, and also to add some cultural flavor to the city."

Lu Yong listened attentively, his eyes full of curiosity and anticipation: "Wow, it feels so mysterious, I really want to see it with my own eyes!"

Finally, they arrived at the square where the dragon scale goblet sculpture was located.

The square is bustling with people, and it is very lively. There are tourists taking photos and checking in, children playing and laughing, and old people taking a leisurely stroll.

The dragon-scale goblet sculpture stands quietly in the center of the square, shining with the unique metallic luster under the sunlight, as if carrying the accumulation of years and the weight of history.

Hannah and Lu Yong saw the sculpture from a distance and almost jumped up in excitement. They grabbed Lu Yong's hand and ran over there: "Look, look, it's so spectacular!"

Running to the sculpture, she looked up with her eyes wide open, her face full of amazement: "Wow, this is much more beautiful than I imagined. Every dragon scale is lifelike, and it feels like it will come alive in the next second."

Lu Yong stood beside her, also carefully examining the sculpture, and said: "Yes, the craftsmanship of the ancients is simply amazing. Look at the lines and patterns, every part of it reveals exquisite craftsmanship."

Hannah couldn't help but reach out and gently touch the edge of the sculpture. Feeling the cool touch from her fingertips, she said with emotion: "It's amazing that I can still feel its charm after so many years."

At this time, an old man with gray hair nearby heard their conversation and said with a smile: "Young lady, young man, this dragon scale goblet is not simple. It is not only a work of art, but also a witness of history. In ancient times, it may have been a utensil used by nobles to drink, symbolizing identity and status. Now it appears in the form of a sculpture, just to remind us descendants not to forget the glory of our ancestors."

Hannah nodded quickly, like a humble student seeking advice: "Grandpa, you know so much. Can you tell us more about the story behind it?"

The old man began to talk excitedly: "Legend has it that this dragon scale goblet was once collected by a mysterious businessman. After experiencing wars and twists and turns, it was finally discovered by archaeologists. The dragon scale patterns on it are said to contain some kind of mysterious power that can bless the family with peace and prosperity. Of course, these are all legends, but they also reflect people's awe and love for it from the side."

Lu Yong listened attentively and couldn't help but sigh: "It turns out there are so many details. I feel like the story behind this sculpture can be written into a book."

Hannah also agreed: "Yes, each artifact is like a time box. When you open it, you can see the world of the past."

The two were listening with great interest when they suddenly heard a loud noise.

It turned out that there were several young people laughing and playing in front of the sculpture. One of the guys even climbed onto the base of the sculpture and posed in various funny poses for photos.

Hannah frowned and whispered to Lu Yong, "It's not a good idea for them to do this. This is a cultural relic sculpture. We need to take good care of it."

Lu Yong nodded, walked up to the young man, and said politely, "Brother, this sculpture is public property and our cultural heritage. It would be a shame if you climb up and down like this and damage or scratch it. Come down and let's visit it in a civilized manner."

The young man was a little nonchalant at first, and pouted his lips and said, "I'm just taking a photo, what's the big deal? Don't make such a fuss."

Lu Yong was not angry, and continued patiently: "I know you want to take a photo, but we can change the way we do it. We can also take nice photos by posing below. And this is a kind of respect for cultural relics. If everyone is like you, how long can this sculpture be preserved intact?"

The people around also echoed: "That's right, young man, come down and don't ruin this wonderful atmosphere."

Seeing everyone saying this, the young man felt a little embarrassed, and with a red face, he got down from the pedestal and said embarrassedly: "Okay, okay, it's my fault for not thinking it through. Thank you for reminding me."

Lu Yong smiled and patted his shoulder: "It's okay. Only if everyone visits in a civilized manner can more people appreciate its beauty."

The two continued to walk around the sculpture and admire it carefully. Hannah was like a professional photographer, constantly looking for angles to take pictures, and kept muttering: "Such a beautiful sculpture, I must take a few more pictures and make a photo album when I go back."

Lu Yong acted as her "model" by the side, posing in a handsome manner and making funny expressions, which made Hannah laugh.

Suddenly, Hannah's eyes lit up, and she took Lu Yong's hand and said, "Lu Yong, look over there, there are so many people sketching. Let's go join in the fun, maybe we can learn some painting techniques."

Lu Yong looked in the direction of her finger and saw a group of people who looked like students sitting in front of easels, concentrating on painting the dragon scale goblet sculpture.

They walked over and stood next to a girl who was drawing. (End of this chapter)
