Chapter 12 12. Post Office Philately
  The second brother Shi helped Shiliu settle down and left. These days, the only choice is to stay in a guest house when traveling, and a guest house costs one yuan and fifty cents a night, or three yuan for two people. This is not a small amount of money in a farm family. , the two brothers couldn’t bear it.

After watching his two brothers get into the car, Pomegranate planned to go shopping in the city. The first stop was the grain station. After spending one check-in point, he received 100 kilograms of Fuqiang flour and 150 kilograms of cornmeal. When she went home at the weekend, she took 50 kilograms of cornmeal home. As for the source, she asked her classmates to help buy it. Anyway, she brought 20 yuan with her this time.

There are more sign-in points in the city, but most of them have white and green signs. The only sign-in place that is more special is the city high school, which is all blue. Pomegranate simply clicked to sign in, and sure enough, she got the high school teaching course, which really made her relieved. The high school textbooks of this era are different from those of later generations. Of course, the most important thing is that the foreign language she is learning now is Russian, while she studied English in her previous life.

Pomegranate casually clicked on the teacher's information to check, and unexpectedly found that the teacher who taught Russian was from the Soviet Union. His Russian proficiency level 4 was 99%, which is definitely professional. As for other teachers, the lowest level was level 3 with 56%. It can be said that the overall teaching level is quite good. Not bad.

Shiliu had to lament the thoughtfulness of the sign-in system. Even if she had the foundation, without professional teachers to teach her, it would be difficult for her to get into a top university in the future.

According to historical records, in 1977, the college entrance examination was finally resumed. 570 million people entered the examination room with high hopes, and more than 27 people realized their college dreams. The admission rate is simply not as low as average. Pomegranate will never look down on anyone, and she must study hard in this study.

As she walked, Shiliu came to the post office. Thinking of the red mountains and rivers of her famous motherland, Shiliu felt hot in her heart. She didn't know whether the stamps of Blue Jade Country were different from those of China.

[When you discover a postal check-in location, does it cost 1 check-in point to sign in? 】

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining the "Republic of China Stamp Album"*1]

Although I didn't get the "red" I was longing for, this stamp album contains a collection of stamps published during the entire Republic of China period, and its value is not low. Thinking that stamps had appeared at the end of the previous dynasty, Shiliu thought that she might be able to draw some by visiting the post office a few more times. Now she might choose to go in and buy some.

"Comrade, I want to buy a stamp collection, can you help me pick some out?"

The young man at the post office suddenly brightened up his eyes: "No problem, do you want the latest edition of stamps or the previous ones?"

Pomegranate, who was carrying hundreds of dollars in bills, didn't care about this little money at all. He said grandly: "I plan to pick some from each edition. In addition, I will buy another stamp album."

The young man's mouth suddenly burst into tears, and he was so happy that he said with a smile on his face: "Comrade, wait a minute, I will help you find it." I don't know what the leaders above thought, but they asked them to sell the previous version as soon as possible. Go ahead, if you fail to complete the task, your bonus will be deducted at the end of the month. I must fool the little girl for a while, let her buy a few more editions, and try to complete this month's results!

After a while, the young man took out a stack of stamps: "Comrade, you choose slowly, and I will help you find some good-looking stamp albums." He took out all the stamps at the bottom of the box, hoping that the little boy Comrades can buy a few more.

Pomegranate didn't expect the other party to be so sincere. These days, everyone is serving iron rice bowls, and it's rare for service staff to have such a good attitude. Originally, she only planned to buy a few editions of rare stamps, but now she feels a little embarrassed. One or two editions of stamps cost only one or two yuan, which is really nothing to her. She remembered that the old man said that her lucky number was 7, so she thought she might as well get 7 in every edition.

"This edition is... the mountains and rivers of the motherland are all red!" Pomegranate never expected that there would be a destroyed collection of stamps hidden in the small Lin City, and each edition was very complete.

The young man heard this sentence as soon as he came out and hurriedly said: "This edition of stamps was ordered to be destroyed, but the old comrade happened to be retiring and there was a bit of chaos in the bureau, so everyone forgot about it. This edition of stamps was just recently I sorted it out, and if you like it, just take it away."    Does this mean no money? Pomegranate felt dizzy. In the future, hundreds of millions of stamps would be auctioned, and now the staff would give them to him for free! She seems to have some luck with wealth recently, but unfortunately there is no place selling lottery tickets now, otherwise she would have to buy a lottery ticket to try, maybe she can win.

Pomegranate didn't refuse. After all, even if she didn't want these stamps, the other party couldn't sell them for money: "Comrade, thank you. I want all of these, and I'll get 7 of each of the other editions."

The young man's voice suddenly trembled with excitement: "No problem, a total of twenty-seven yuan."

Pomegranate took out the money and paid, then picked up the stamp album and looked through it, and finally selected three albums with pear wood covers: "Comrade, are there any such albums?" She still had 4 albums to go. Woolen cloth.

The young man rolled his eyes and said in a low voice: "I know a master who can make this kind of thing. You can go to him to choose. The charges are different depending on the type of wood, but the stuff over there is cheaper than here. A The book cover made of rosewood only costs 5 yuan." In fact, the person he was talking about was his grandfather, who also helped him find the job.

Pomegranate's eyes flashed, and it seemed that this was someone with a good track record: "Then I'll buy 7 rosewood ones." She originally wanted to buy 4, but then she thought she was not short of the 15 yuan, so she might as well buy 7 stamp albums. All the same.

"That's okay. But do you want these three volumes?" The quality of pear wood is indeed good, but it is not comparable to rosewood.

Sure enough, Shiliu shook her head: "No need. Next time your post office has new stamps, please leave me 7 editions of each edition. I will come to you directly then. Do I need a deposit?"

"No, my name is Mu Hongxing. You can just tell me my name when the time comes." The young man didn't expect such an unexpected surprise, and he immediately became happy: "I also know some friends who like to collect stamps. Some of them have trouble at home. I plan to take action, if you are interested, I will take you to see it."

Pomegranate's eyes suddenly brightened by three points, and she looked at the other party with a half-smile and said, "Okay."

It happened that the time for the small class was also here, so the young man, Mu Hongxing, simply said hello to the others and left with the pomegranate.

The others watched Mu Hongxing sell a lot of stamps in ten minutes, and tears of envy flowed from their mouths.

"It's absolutely fine for this guy to change his job now. Hey, why didn't I come forward just now? I missed a big customer."

Others are also jealous, but who can blame them? Who would have thought that a little village girl would be willing to spend a lot of money to collect stamps.
