Traversing the courtyard

Chapter 162 Special Stamps
Yu Li explained: "Stamps are generally divided into ordinary stamps, which are bought at the post office every day to send letters, and there are some commemorative stamps issued, and there is a special type."

Yan Jiedi suddenly realized: "I see, this series are all different types of goldfish, and they are not commemorative stamps, so they are special types."

Yi Weidong smiled and said, "Yan Jiedi, you are really smart."

The complacent Yan Jiedi frowned: "Weidong, what you said is weird."

Yi Weidong suppressed a smile: "I praised you for being smart! You are overthinking."

Yan Jiedi said: "Hmph, sometimes you, Yi Weidong, are rather bad."

Yi Weidong took the thick book again and continued to read,
Soon saw a set of colorful chrysanthemum stamps,

Take them out and put them on the table one by one.

Yan Jiedi was attracted by the colorful chrysanthemum stamps,
After counting, the whole set is 18 pieces in total, and Yan Jiedi is still calculating the total price,

Yu Li said: "This is 18 special 44 'Chrysanthemum' series, the total cost is [-] yuan and [-] cents, but this is a letter ticket."

"What is a postal ticket?"

Yan Jiedi blurted out and asked.

Yi Weidong said, "Big Clever, haven't you seen the postmark?"

"You are so smart! Weidong Wei."

After scolding Yi Weidong, Yan Jiedi picked up the stamps one by one to observe.

Can't help but say: "It's so beautiful, I've decided, I will also collect stamps in the future."

Yu Li cheered and said, "Your brother is annoyed when he sees me playing with stamps every day. Now let's collect stamps together and make him mad."

After finishing speaking, Yu Li laughed heartily,

Yan Jiedi also smiled and said, "Yes, I'm just mad at him."

Yi Weidong clipped the 'Chrysanthemum' series back,
I also found a set of commemorative stamps for the [-]th anniversary of the Young Pioneers,

A set of 6 commemorative tickets,
There are also three red-crowned cranes,

There are also five sets of four 'Great Motherland' and other stamps.

Yan Jiedi was always amazed,

Yu Li finally found her bosom friend, and said happily, "I'll sort out some repetitive ones later, and share some with you."

Yi Weidong remembers that the most famous stamp is that the mountains and rivers of the whole country are red,
Because the curved area is not marked in red,

It was urgently recalled and destroyed on the day it was issued.

There are only six remaining in later generations.
Even ordinary people who don't collect stamps will have heard about this misprinted stamp.

Yu Li taught Yi Weidong and Yan Jiedi some common sense about philately,

Finally, he said: "I'll sort out some stamps later and ask Xie Di to send them to you."

"Then thank you sister-in-law and Xie Di." Yi Weidong said politely.

The next morning, Yi Weidong lingered until everyone else left for work before leaving the compound.

First, ride a tricycle to Beixinqiao Post Office,

In the winter morning, when the door just opened, there were not many people handling business.
Yi Weidong walked to an unmanned counter and asked:

"Hello comrade, I want to buy some stamps, which window is it?"

"How much do you want? How many, I'll tear it up for you."

Speaking of which, the female salesperson took a large version of ordinary stamps from the side.

Yi Weidong remembered that there was also a purchase task of stamps, and said, "Bring me a hundred four-cent stamps."

The saleswoman raised her head and glanced at Yi Weidong.
Seeing a handsome young comrade, he said with a smile:

"How do you buy so many stamps?"

Yi Weidong smiled shyly: "Sister, I'm a factory buyer, here to buy stamps."

Speaking of which, Yi Weidong took out his work card from his satchel and shook it,
The female salesperson did not ask to see,
The price of this stamp is uniform across the country, and there is no possibility of reselling it.
There is no limit, you can buy as much as you want.

After Yi Weidong waited for the female salesperson to finish, he asked:

"Big Sister, Goldfish, Chrysanthemum, Radio Gymnastics, Great Motherland, do you have these special stamps? It's best to have a full set."

"Some have some, some don't, and there are not many of each."

Yi Weidong said: "Sister, if you have other special stamps and commemorative stamps, I want them all."

"You want them all?" the female salesperson asked again in surprise.

I have never encountered such a purchase of stamps before.

Occasionally, those who collect stamps just grit their teeth and buy a new set of invoices.

Or ask an acquaintance to find a letter to sell the ticket.

Yi Weidong nodded: "Yes, some retired cadres in the factory like to collect stamps. These are all condolences during the Spring Festival."

The female salesperson returned to normal: "We still have peonies, butterflies, Huangshan scenery, etc., I will find them for you."

After a while, the female salesperson brought a lot of stamps,
He asked Yi Weidong again: "Comrade, can you finish all this?"

He pointed to the stamps and said, "Is it too much? There are hundreds of dollars?"

Yi Weidong smiled and said, "Sister, you can count them all, I want them all."

The female salesperson recruited another person to help. After counting, exchange and order again,
Said to Yi Weidong: "The total is 340 seven yuan and eighty-five cents."

This is almost equivalent to a worker's annual wages,
The female salesperson looked at Yi Weidong nervously,
If you can't come up with the money today, you will be ashamed.

Yi Weidong took out three stacks of money from his satchel and said, "This is one hundred and one stacks."

At this time, the ten yuan was a black portrait of workers and peasants, but the Great Unity pattern was a five yuan bill.

Then another 47 yuan and eighty-five cents came out.

The saleswoman let out a sigh of relief.

The two counted each other,
The female salesperson said: "The money is right, you can count the stamps again!"

Yi Weidong looked at the stamps pushed over and said:

"Isn't this embarrassing me? I trust you, so I won't order it."

The female salesperson frowned and said, "Are you sure you don't want to order? If you don't pay the bill later, you can't come to trouble us."

If you make a personal mistake, it's okay to deal with it.
They are all purchased on behalf of the factory. If there is a mistake, it will be troublesome for the two units to argue with each other.

Yi Weidong said: "It is also my responsibility to make mistakes, and I will not trouble my eldest sister."

Yi Weidong turned his head and let it go to the space.

It doesn't matter if one or two is missing.

The female salesperson brought a big paper bag and handed it to Yi Weidong:
"You put it in this, don't break the stamp."

"Thank you, big sister." After Yi Weidong thanked him, he finished packing the stamps and left the Beixinqiao post office.

Yi Weidong entered the reception room of the rolling mill,

Master Qin asked with a smile, "Weidong, what's the matter?"

Yi Weidong said: "Grandpa Qin, you have someone here to pick up the letter. You can ask if you want stamps. If you don't want stamps, cut out the stamps on this envelope. We mainly collect various commemorative stamps and special stamps."

Master Qin asked in surprise, "Weidong, what do you want this for?"

"Grandpa Qin didn't want me, but you left it to me, Sister Xiaoyue. Think about it, after this commemorative stamp is issued, it will be gone, and it will be worth a lot in a few decades."

"Oh, I remembered. What you said was collecting stamps. I've heard people say that the stamps issued by the Qing Dynasty are very expensive now." Master Qin suddenly realized.

Since Master Qin has heard about it, it will be easy to handle,

This reception room receives dozens of letters every day,

There are always all kinds of stamps, and it is not troublesome to collect them.

Yi Weidong smiled and said, "Yes, it's collecting stamps, and it's also diverting my sister's attention away from playing poker."

Qin Xiayue also likes to collect candy wrappers. Collecting stamps is much more advanced than candy paper.

Qin Xiayue should like it!
Master Qin nodded in satisfaction and said, "Weidong, this is a good way for you, I will ask you a question later."

"Okay, I'm off to work."

After Yi Weidong entered the office, he greeted his colleagues first,

As usual, pour a mug of hot water to make tea, and then fill in various forms,

Song Chunfang said to Yi Weidong: "Weidong, Ke Chen told you that you don't want to go out today, and the factory office is having a meeting at this time!"

Yi Weidong raised his head: "Sister Song, I see, how do I fill out this reimbursement form?"

Song Chunfang got up and walked behind Yi Weidong,

He leaned down and demonstrated, "You do this first, then this, then this, and finally this, so it can be done, understand?"

"Understood, Miss Song, thank you!"

Kou Danhong, who was facing away from Song Chunfang, burst out laughing:
"Chunfang, you are very proficient in using this!"

Song Chunfang smiled and said, "Sister Hong, you laugh at me every day, it's dead, why don't you show me."
