Chapter 313 Commemorative Stamps
Xu Caixia said to Wang Haiyang next to her: "Wang Haiyang, let me see if there are any envelopes and stamps for sale!"

"Do you want to send a letter?" Wang Haiyang asked.

"Well, my uncle and aunt are both cultural people. They usually send letters. Our family only receives letters and never answers them. If I have a chance, I must reply once!"

Xu Caixia said.

Wang Haiyang nodded: "You go, I'm here in line!"

After speaking, he took out two yuan from his pocket and handed it to Xu Caixia. "That should be enough to buy letters and stamps."

"I don't want it. I have money." Xu Caixia waved her hands again and again, but couldn't resist Wang Haiyang's resistance.

Xu Caixia had no choice but to bring these two dollars.

Xu Caixia walked to a slightly less crowded counter and waited in line for nearly half an hour before it was his turn.

However, Wang Haiyang may have to wait longer.

His team basically telegraphed.

It's okay to meet someone with experience.When encountering inexperienced ones, the dispatcher had to be completely confused.Add words for a while, and subtract words for a while.

Very slow and very inefficient.

But there is no way.

First of all, I don't understand.

Second, telegrams are expensive.

Four cents a word.A telegram costs a few cents.

For ordinary people, these few cents are not a small amount.If you are lucky, you can buy one or two catties of grain for five cents, and one catty of meat for five cents.

Unless of course you have food stamps and meat stamps.

"Hello, comrade. Excuse me, do you have stamps and envelopes here?" Xu Caixia asked.

"Of course! Two cents per envelope, stamps are counted separately. Different stamps have different denominations."

The most important thing in sending a letter is not the envelope, but the stamp on the envelope.

Letters can only be sent with postage stamps.

In this day and age, the most economical form of contact is by letter.

The price of the envelope is fixed.The difference is the stamps, ranging from a few cents to a few cents.

The more expensive the faster.

Xu Caixia didn't understand, and the staff patiently explained to her.

"Thank you, comrade. I see. First, you can give me ten envelopes. As for the stamps... are there special stamps? They are not ordinary!"

There are also many kinds of stamps.Commemorative value must commemorate major events.

It is estimated that there is no book of common stamps, and each stamp is the same.

"Are you talking about commemorative stamps? Are they prepared for large-scale events?" the staff asked Xu Caixia.

"Yes, that's it!" Not necessarily the latest.It's been okay for the past ten years!"

Fearful of being misunderstood by staff, she added: "I have a lot of letters to send, all to my relatives. But I like different stamps. I feel very accomplished when I put a different stamp on each letter feel!"

In fact, it doesn't matter if Xu Caixia doesn't explain.

Who doesn't have a special hobby?
Some people like to drink rice wine, while others like to drink Moutai.

As long as it doesn't disturb others.

"What you said. I have to go to the warehouse and find it for you!"

The post office puts regular stamps on surfaces, but usually no one asks about commemorative stamps.

Also, it is the county seat.Everyone wants the cheapest, not the most expensive.

"When are you free?" Xu Caixia asked.

"Wait a minute, there is no one left now! When someone else mails the letter, I will help you find it!"

"Trouble!" Xu Caixia nodded repeatedly.

It was Wang Haiyang's turn to speak.

He started telegraphing.

Wang Haiyang is completely familiar with this method, and he finished sending the telegram in no time!
After Wang Haiyang sent the telegram, he went to find Xu Caixia.

"What happened?" Wang Haiyang asked.

He saw Xu Caixia and talked to the post office staff.

Presumably, stamps and envelopes should have been bought, but it's still in line, back to the end of the line.
