Chapter 035: Unexpected Joy

Zhao Qingshan returned to the office and saw an envelope on the desktop, the recipient was him, and the sender was Yan Moumou.

Zhao Qingshan opened the envelope, took out the letter paper, and wrote in a handsome pen, Yan Moumou wrote in the letter:

"Zhao Qingshan, are you okay in Jianggang, I hope you are getting better and better...... I have passed the political examination and will go to the United States for further study in the near future...... Don't read it, take care. ”

In the late 80s, there was a sudden trend of studying abroad.

Yan Moumou, who stayed in the capital, was about to go to the United States to study, and before leaving, she wrote this letter to her college friend Zhao Qingshan, sprinkling eight pages and comprehensively reviewing the deep friendship established between the two in 83~86.

"Let's go, just make a phone call, you have to write a letter. ”

Zhao Qingshan still has feelings for Yan Moumou, he knows that she has been gone for many years, and when she came back, she became a Chinese-American.

Time and time again I ask myself。

Ask yourself if I can live without you.

Time and time……

Ouch I'll go!

Zhao Qingshan's eyes lit up, and his body shook.

After reading the letter, he noticed a detail.

Affixed to the envelope is a postage stamp, face value of 8 cents, number T-46, issued in 1980, red background, cute monkey ......

This...... This is a monkey ticket from 1980!

1980 is the Year of the Monkey, our country issued the first zodiac stamp in this year, the status of this monkey is not ordinary.

Millions of 80-year-old monkey stamps were issued, and in 1987, many people did not realize that they were worth more than 8 cents and sent it as postage.

Miss Yan was benevolent and righteous, and gave me a big gift before leaving...... Zhao Qingshan is so happy, and at the same time, she is also glad that Miss Yan is not very sensitive to stamps, and it is very coincidental that she casually pasted a stamp, which happened to be an 80-year-old monkey stamp.

Letters, and letters, after graduation, Miss Yan wrote me several letters!

Zhao Qingshan searched for a while and found five letters, three of which were from Miss Yan and the other two were from male friends.

Zhao Qingshan's habit is to stuff the envelope back after reading, so the envelope and stamps are preserved.

He was disappointed that the stamps on the five letters were ordinary, preserved into the 21st century, and two of them were worth tens or hundreds of dollars at most.

Zhao Qingshan remembers that precious stamps were hyped up by Hong Kong people, about 89 and 90 years, the price of precious stamps, including 80 years of monkey stamps, soared all the way, the auction price soared from tens of thousands of Hong Kong dollars to hundreds of thousands, and the most expensive could be sold for millions.

Philatelic bar, cultivate a noble and elegant hobby.

From this time on, Zhao Qingshan became a philatelic enthusiast, he quickly went to the post office, bought a bunch of stamps that are not worth much now, and will not be worth a few dollars in the future, to fill the façade. Almost all of the valuable stamps were issued before 1981 and were not available in the post office.

Jianggang has established a philatelic association, which means that some people have recognized the value of stamps.

Zhao Qingshan quickly signed up for the Jianggang Philatelic Association, and he wrote a note for membership and waited for approval.

One day in late March, Zhao Qingshan came home from work, and when he rode past the gate of Jianggang No. 3 Middle School, he happened to meet Meng Xiaoqing, and the two rode together.

Now Meng Xiaoqing has no interest in game consoles, he said that his grades have improved point by point, ranking one by one, and "playing classmates" is much more enjoyable than playing game consoles.

Zhao Qingshan asked, "Xiaoqing, do you have a favorite university?"

"I have been in Jiangcheng for 18 years, and I have never left the city, in fact, I have been to Hankou and Hanyang very rarely, but Wuchang has been a little more. In college, I wanted to go outside. ”

"It's a wonderful world out there, go out and experience it. Which university in which province do you want to apply to?"

"The ancestors of our old Meng family are from Shandong, and I want to go to Shandong to study at university. ”

"Kong Mengyan Zeng, don't call it indiscriminately, Meng Xiaoqing, what generation are you?"

"I am the Lingzi generation, my old man is the Xiangzi generation, he was originally called Meng Xiangxi, and later changed to such a rustic name as Meng Shuizhi. I want to change back to the Lingzi generation, let's talk about it after the college entrance examination. ”

"There are quite a lot of universities in Shandong, Xiaoqing, which one do you want to apply for?"

"I don't know. ”

"You didn't even think about it and ran to Shandong, the appeal of your sage ancestors is so strong?

"I want to learn English. ”

"What are the ...... for learning English" Zhao Qingshan came to an abrupt end, the future depends on his subjective initiative and a keen sense of the overall situation, since Meng Xiaoqing's subjective will is to learn English, let him learn it.

"Tomorrow is Sunday again, my parents are at home, our study group, can we go to Brother Xiaoshan's house to study for a day? Brother Xiaoshan, will you work overtime tomorrow? Is it convenient for us to go to your house?" Meng Xiaoqing put forward his ardent hope.

"No overtime, convenient, come on. ”

"Oh great!"

Meng Xiaoqing turned around and rode around, saying that he was going to inform the three classmates.
