Chapter 57: Father's Secret

Chen Jianxin and Chang Zheng don't understand this kind of thing, they can only rely on Ding Hongxing, and Ding Hongxing is also the one who does it.

Ding Hongxing first chose one of the monkey stamps in those stamps, Yang Lianzhong's expression was distressed, but he couldn't help it, now he was in need of money, and he had already received such a big favor from Ding Hongxing, of course, it was up to Ding Hongxing to pick it up.

Ding Hongxing didn't know much about other collections, so he simply chose all the stamps, he selected a lot of special stamps, commemorative stamps and souvenir sheets that were more popular later, and opened those large philatelic albums, sure enough, there were more ancient stamps and wenge stamps in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, and he also selected the most valuable part from them.

Yang Lianzhong quickly wrote the price and quantity of these stamps on a piece of paper, and when Ding Hongxing finished picking, he took a small calculator to calculate the total price, and the result was more than 50,000 yuan, Ding Hongxing looked at the price written by Yang Lianzhong, and gave it very fairly, basically lower than the current market price, he used a pen to cross out more than 10,000 yuan of stamps from the paper, leaving only stamps worth 40,000 yuan.

Yang Lianzhong calculated again, and said to Ding Hongxing: "Why is it only 40,000?" You started to take 4,000, and that's also the money of your two relatives, right? ”

Ding Hongxing said: "It's their money, but just now Brother Chang said, we can't take advantage of the fire to rob, now the price of the stamp market is low enough, and the price you give is an average of one percent lower, so these stamps are enough." You're in a hurry to get the money, so we can't take advantage of you too much. ”

Indeed, if it was the peak of the postal market last year, a single version of the monkey stamp would be worth more than 10,000, but this year it fell into this bear-like, but fortunately Yang Lianzhong is a person with vision, these stamps are basically copied from the bottom, and there is no loss.

Yang Lianzhong still had to say more, Chang Zheng said: "Old Yang, don't say it, we are not people who take advantage of small things, so be it." ”

Yang Lianzhong gave up, Ding Hongxing picked out the stamps that were crossed out of the paper, and returned them to Yang Lianzhong, Yang Lianzhong used the stamp album to help them clamp the stamps, handed them over, and told them some key points of stamp preservation.

Before the three of them left, Yang Lianzhong shook his head and said: "People are really sick, my lover's illness has taken out half of my family's funds and left." ”

The three comforted Yang Lianzhong and left. After walking out for a while, Ding Hongxing got out of the car, clamped the monkey ticket with an empty stamp album and said: "Brother Chen, Brother Chang, I want this version of the monkey ticket, and you can divide the rest." ”

Chang Zheng was anxious: "Red Star, you only take this one of so many stamps, this is too much to look down on us, right?" Take some more. ”

Ding Hongxing said: "This version of the monkey ticket is enough." This monkey stamp is one of the most expensive of these stamps, and I have wanted to buy it since I was a child, but unfortunately I can't afford it, and now it is a wish of mine. ”

Chang Zheng said: "Then you really don't take it?" ”

Ding Hongxing said: "Brother Chang, I really won't take it, you two will divide it!" ”

Chen Jianxin and Chang Zheng divided the rest of the stamps equally.

Ding Hongxing saw that it was not early, so he said hello to Chen and Chang, and hurried to the school on a bicycle.

Coming to the classroom, Ding Hongxing got in through the back door, trotted back to his seat, and stuffed the schoolbag containing the philatelic album into the desk.

The philatelic album was too big to fit into the schoolbag completely, and a section was exposed, Lu Chaohui's eyes were sharp, and when she saw the philatelic album exposed from the schoolbag, she wrote a note asking what was in the bag.

Ding Hongxing replied with a note saying that it was a philatelic album, and Lu Chaohui replied with a note and said: Great, you also collect stamps? My brother and I are both stamp collectors, when will we be free to visit your house to see your stamps?

Ding Hongxing replied okay, and asked Lu Chaohui to discuss the study of the mutual aid group in the grove next to the school's basketball court at noon tomorrow, Lu Chaohui agreed, and the two began to concentrate on the exercises.

Back at home, Ding Yuejin asked, "Red Star, has your friend's surgery fee been paid?" ”

Ding Hongxing nodded and said, "It's all together, he sold a lot of stamps and got it together." ”

Shen Shuzhen said: "It's good to get it together, but what did he give you for your 3,000 yuan?" ”

Ding Hongxing knew his mother's thoughts, although she was very kind and willing to help others, but she was also afraid that her son would be deceived outside, so he took out the big stamp album and turned out the version of the monkey ticket to show his parents.

Shen Shuzhen saw that the monkey ticket was very good-looking, and couldn't help but reach out to touch it, Ding Yuejin had some understanding of philatelic knowledge because he supported his son's hobby, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to block his wife's hand and said: "This stamp can't be touched like this, people have oil on their hands, and it's worthless to touch the stamp if it's dirty, and you have to wear gloves to touch it." ”

When Shen Shuzhen heard this, she hurriedly retracted her hand, she looked at this version of the monkey ticket suspiciously: "Just these colorful little pieces of paper, they are worth three thousand yuan?" ”

Ding Yuejin stared at the version of the monkey ticket for a long time, and asked, "Red Star, this is a monkey ticket, right?" ”

Ding Hongxing was a little surprised: "Dad, how do you know this is a monkey ticket?" When have you seen it? ”

Ding Yuejin said: "Do you remember that five years ago, when you were still in elementary school, you once asked me for 30 yuan, in order to find someone else to buy a monkey ticket, and then I didn't give it to you, and beat you up?" ”

As soon as Ding Yuejin said, Ding Hongxing remembered that there was such a thing, he was only eleven years old at that time, and he saw stamps in the stamp market, and he liked it very much, he really wanted to have that monkey ticket, and he was not sensible, and he didn't know what thirty yuan meant to the family, so he opened his mouth to his father, and his father refused to give it to him, so he made a big fuss, and finally his father really had no choice, so he beat him hard.

Ding Hongxing nodded and said: "I remember, that time you beat my ass for a few days and could only sleep on my stomach, and my mother gave me medicine for a few days, and I cried while rubbing it." ”

Shen Shuzhen laughed: "I also scolded your father, saying that he was so ruthless and beat the child like this." ”

Ding Yuejin didn't laugh: "Red Star, I'm sorry, Dad shouldn't have beaten you that time, but you didn't know at that time, the family really couldn't take out the thirty yuan!" In the past, when you bought stamps, Dad was very supportive of you, but it was only a few cents, Dad could afford it, thirty yuan, and the family could live for a month at that time! ”

Speaking of which, Ding Yuejin and Shen Shuzhen's eyes were red, and Ding Hongxing also had a sour nose, of course he knew that that his father hit him that time, but it hurt in his own heart! He said to his father: "Dad, don't say it, I was ignorant that time, I should be beaten!" ”

Ding Yuejin shook his head and said, "No, I want to say!" I hate, I hate that I, as a father, can't even make such a small request from my son, so I found the picture of this monkey ticket, wrote down what it looks like, and waited until the family was rich to buy you one, but the family has never been rich. Last year, I finally saved 30 yuan of cigarette money, ran to the stamp market to ask, the monkey ticket has risen to two or three hundred, I only left, I thought that I could no longer afford to buy it in this life, but I still firmly remembered the appearance of this monkey ticket, I didn't expect ah, my son is more capable than me, I earned money, bought so many monkey tickets......"

At this time, Ding Hongxing was already crying, he cried and said, "Dad, don't talk about it......"

Ding Hongxing didn't expect that his father, who has always been strict, still hides such a secret in his heart, and he has the deepest love for his son!

As the saying goes, father's love is like a mountain, at this time, Ding Hongxing felt his father's love as thick as a mountain, if it wasn't for his rebirth and saved his father's life, he would never know this secret!

Shen Shuzhen also sobbed, and Ding Yuejin couldn't say any more, and there were faint tears flashing in his eyes.

After a long time, the family's love calmed down, and Shen Shuzhen said: "Child's father, you said that there are two or three hundred stamps, is it a small one or a large one?" ”

Ding Yuejin said: "Of course it's a small sheet. ”

As he spoke, he counted the version of the monkey ticket, counted it again, and then raised his head and said to Ding Hongxing: "Hongxing, no, the price of the monkey ticket I asked last year was two or three hundred, and this big one has eighty small tickets, so it can't be more than 20,000 yuan?" Didn't you just take three thousand dollars? ”

Ding Hongxing said: "Last year, the domestic stamp market rose abnormally, it was fried, this year's stamp market has entered a trough period, all stamps have fallen sharply, monkey stamps have fallen back to dozens of dollars a piece, this edition is about 3,000 yuan." ”

Ding Yuejin nodded with relief.

When Shen Shuzhen heard that these colorful little pieces of paper were worth three thousand yuan, she couldn't help but be speechless, and she said to Ding Hongxing: "Son, you have to put this thing away, if someone steals it, it will be bad." ”

Ding Hongxing said: "In our factory, there are so many old neighbors, and there are patrols from the security department, which thief can get in?" ”

Shen Shuzhen thought about it for a while, but she still asked Ding Hongxing to receive this at the bottom of the box, and Ding Hongxing agreed, so she was relieved.

Ding Hongxing entered his room, opened the philatelic album, and took a good look at the version of the monkey stamp, in his previous life, he had longed to have a monkey stamp but could not get it, but he didn't expect to be reborn in just a few months, he had a whole page of monkey stamps, and so many other precious stamps, this is really like a dream!

After admiring the monkey ticket, Ding Hongxing pressed the large stamp album to the bottom of the box, and then went out to wash and rested.
