Chapter 18 Full Page Monkey Ticket
This is arranged by my father, who is far away, and it is rare to relax, be a guest, play cards, and chat.
On the twenty-ninth day of the lunar month, I went to the reunion year of my uncle's house.
My aunt came out in an apron and took my hand and asked questions.
My aunt liked me the most since I was a child, and my grandmother, but unfortunately my grandmother died of illness the year before last.
The eldest aunt is the most ordinary rural woman, simple and virtuous.
gave birth to three daughters, and there were no boys in their family, and because the uncle was poor at that time and married very late, all three were cousins.
I saw my aunt's face with joy, but my heart ached. Because I knew that a tragedy would happen in a few years, and my uncle's family almost didn't survive.
While talking to my aunt about Shudu, I clenched my fists tightly, I must stop that incident from happening, and I warned myself in my heart.
In fact, the New Year's meal is almost the same, nothing more than chicken, duck and fish, depending on the cooking skills of each family.
My aunt is a good cook, and I have been eating green food all these years, and I have a lot of fun eating it.
In the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, respect the heavens and respect the ancestors. didn't go out as guests, and their families had another reunion dinner.
In the afternoon, the eldest and the second went back to the house. Only my parents and my third child and I were left in the hall.
"Dad, 20,000 yuan will add capital to you, and the capital is too small to turn around. "I took 20,000 yuan from my bag and handed it to my father.
"I've had enough business, and you've saved up the money you earn by yourself, and you're not married yet. Dad waved his hand and didn't answer, and it was Daddy's turn to say the same thing.
"You can rest assured to use it, I still have it, you know that I ran the yellow eel business this year and made a lot of money, and the hot pot restaurants are all small. "I shoved the money into my dad's arms.
"Then I'll save it for you until you get married. Dad hesitated, grabbed the money, and his face was a little complicated.
I probably know what my dad is thinking. Thinking that he was still worried about me and the third child in the past two years to ask for a daughter-in-law in a new house, the youngest son sent it.
I have earned a lifetime of money, but I can't earn as much as my youngest son in a year. I was happy but mixed with some unwillingness.
"Xiaoshan really makes a lot of money? I saw my mother's smile of relief.
Mom, you're overjoyed, can you say this to the third child? I glanced at the third child sitting next to me.
The character of our four brothers, the eldest is a little soft.
The second child is in a hurry, straight to the point.
The third child is shrewd, cunning, and has a black belly, but he does not lose the bottom line. So I also think he is suitable for officialdom.
In his previous life, the third child was promoted from a small company employee to a director in five years in Guancheng, not a joke, of course, he is still very immature now.
"I've made a lot of money this year, Dad, you can rest assured that you can use this money for turnover, and they all say that I still have it." ”
Taking my mother's words, I continued to talk to my father.
"There is also the third brother's business to run away at the beginning of the New Year, and the cigarettes and alcohol I brought back are just taken to pay New Year's greetings. ”
Seeing the third child sitting next to him silently, I turned my head to him.
Actually, I had already told my dad about this on the way home the day.
"I know how to do the third child's affairs, and there is a shortage of teachers every year, so I should do it. The third child still stood up and didn't speak.
"Third brother, I'll bring your ID card and graduation certificate, and I'll definitely use it when I report it, and I'll send it back to you along with the textbooks. ”
"Yes. The third child finally spoke.
"You don't have to think so much, your path is different, make up your mind to do it seriously, and when you have a great future in the future, you will take care of your family. ”
"Okay, I know. ”
On the evening of the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, my father was happy this year. The third child and the two little ones each gave me a hundred yuan in New Year's money.
This is the most in the history, but I don't have a share in the marriage.
Then the family watched the Spring Festival Gala around the old twelve-inch black-and-white TV.
With the sound of firecrackers, the spring of '92 came.
In the third year of junior high school, I returned to Shudu alone.
"Why do you sell this monkey ticket?"
I crouched on the side of the street and flipped through a monkey stamp, the owner of the stamp book was a man with glasses in his thirties.
"Eighty, this one of mine is a full product. ”
"Do you have a full page?" I then asked.
If you buy a stamp to prepare a gift for your aunt, who loves to collect stamps.
I'm going to pay a New Year's greeting this year, and I'm going to put some thought into it.
My little uncle has always been very kind to our brothers, and for the sake of the future of the third child, this thing has to be done.
"No, the price of the whole page is very high, where can I afford it. "I asked a few people, and they all said that there was no full page of monkey tickets.
Stamps I am a layman, I only know that monkey stamps are very collectible.
In my last life, I occasionally looked at it on the Internet, and I had a stamp printed with a black monkey.
"And what about your friends? "It's almost five o'clock, I asked a few people, and I can barely touch a little doorway.
"Do you really want it, the full page of monkey tickets is hard to find, it's a bit expensive?" The man in glasses looked at me seriously this time.
"Really, I'm in a hurry. ”
"Then I'll help you ask. As he spoke, he put away his large stamp album.
"Lao Liu, don't you have a version of the monkey ticket? This little brother is very interested. ”
After walking less than 30 meters, the man with glasses and I came to a stall with five or six philatelic albums.
The stall owner is an old man in his fifties.
"I don't sell it, I'll keep it at the bottom of the box. Lao Liu said expressionlessly.
"Elder Liu, I used it to send my elders, I hope you can cut your love. Do me a favor?"
I hurriedly said, I finally found the source of the ticket, and I was a little anxious.
"Yes, Lao Liu, this little brother is very sincere. "The man with glasses is helping.
"Eight thousand yuan, no bargaining. Lao Liu finally made an offer. "Little brother, what do you think ......?" The man in glasses looked sideways at me.
I can see that the emotional glasses man is a "string". Look at me as a layman, the two of them are slaughtering sheep for the sake of it!
"How many sheets in one edition?" I didn't move, and the layman continued to ask the layman.
Knowing that they are tired, they are not in a hurry.
"Eighty sheets, this can't deceive anyone, you can know when you ask. "It's still the man with glasses who is talking.
"A version of eighty copies, I count you as seventy, that's five thousand six, this price is a bit outrageous, right?
"Little brother, the price is not calculated like this, it is difficult to find the whole page, and the whole page is generally in good condition. The man with glasses grabbed me and spoke a little hurriedly.
"Seven thousand, a fixed price, if it's not suitable, forget it, I'll find an insider to come over tomorrow and take a look." "I paid the price back.
"You two talk about business, why do you both have a fixed price? I advise Lao Liu, you wait a minute. As he spoke, he turned around and muttered a few words to Lao Liu.
"Little brother, in this way, if you add another two hundred, this business will be completed, if it is okay, Lao Liu will go to get the ticket immediately. The two muttered the result.
