Chapter 65: Philatelic Gathering

After memorizing English on Sunday morning, Luo Wenxi rarely didn't go home and had lunch at Tang Mingyao's house.

Because Tang Mingyao told her that he was going to attend a philatelic party in the afternoon, and many classmates, including Hou Yan, would also go, hoping that she could accompany him.

Luo Wenxi was willing in his heart, but he still had to be reserved in his mouth: "Hou Yan will also go, will she secretly look at us?" ”

Tang Mingyao didn't care: "What are you afraid of, she knows it anyway." Just let her keep an eye on it, as long as she doesn't think the dog food is unpalatable. ”

"What is dog food?"

"Legend has it that there is a creature called the Single Dog, which makes it uncomfortable whenever a couple shows affection in front of this creature. This behavior is often referred to as dog abuse, also known as sprinkling dog food......"

"Poof, you actually said that Hou Yan is a dog, you are too bad!"

A few jokes, and it is logical to stay.

Lunch was cooked by Li Qiong, and looking at the gap, she called Tang Mingyao to the kitchen and whispered: "What's the matter with you and Luo Zhi's daughter, don't get too close and make people gossip." ”

Tang Mingyao: "Why? ”

"It's not like you haven't heard of those things in their family, and they don't have a good reputation."

Tang Mingyao annoyed this: "Do you believe those rumors too?" It's so outrageous, a little brain knows it's fake, mom, think about it seriously, is there a hint of possibility that it's true? ”

Li Qiong looked serious: "Why can't it be true?" ”

Tang Mingyao asked her rhetorically: "Now there are still rumors of our family everywhere in the village, saying that our family can enter the city because we won the five million lottery, what do you say?" ”

"That's different......" Li Qiong whispered.

Tang Mingyao gave her a roll of the eyes, went out to play with Luo Wenxi, and guarded the store by the way.

After eating, the two set off for a philatelic party.

It was difficult to find a suitable venue, so Lei Yu, the organizer, chose to choose and go, and finally took advantage of his father's privilege to borrow the key to a lecture hall in the library before arranging it.

By the time he arrived, there were already a lot of people, and there were five or six in Tang Mingyao's class.

In addition to Hou Yan and Lei Yu, there are also pot helmets, bears, jelly and bison.

Well, it's all a nickname.

School is such a magical place, no matter what your name is, your classmates will always be able to come up with blood-spurting names for you through all kinds of inexplicable associations.

For example, Tang Mingyao, the name of the chicken, among his junior high school classmates, was gradually called smoothly again. He dared to swear that he had never mentioned his nickname in elementary school in front of these people, and Luo Wenxi never called him a chicken.

There are also these people in front of him, Hou Yan is called "pharyngitis";

Lei Yu called it "drama";

The big name of the pot helmet is Guo Yongkui;

The bear Chen Tianyu was called a stalk because he once told a bear joke in the class;

Liangfen Zhang Dongliang is because there is a snack bar named "Zhang Liangfen" in the county......

Only Luo Wenxi, there is no nickname to circulate, which is also a strange thing.

After greeting a few classmates, the two sat down in the middle of the room and looked at the others.

There were more than a dozen people sitting in the classroom, each carrying a philatelic book, large and small, thick and thin, and before the official start of the assembly, some people were already communicating with each other, exchanging their collections.

Tang Mingyao was not idle, seeing that his classmate Guo Yongkui had no one to speak, he pulled Luo Wenxi forward and sat in two rows in front of him.

"Pot helmet, exchange stamps!"

"Good. I brought these today, they are all repetitive, you can choose whichever one you like. We exchanged looks, and when we liked them, we brought them up. ”

Tang Mingyao said: "Okay, but my stamps are all in the booklet, you turn from the back to the front, the back is repeated, you can change, I don't plan to change the front for the time being." Of course, you can check it out if you want. ”

The two exchanged philatelic albums.

Tang Mingyao opened Guo Yongkui's booklet and found that it was full of used old stamps, stamped with a mutilated postmark, but each stamp was carefully handled, with few missing teeth, damage, and creases, and the condition was quite intact.

Obviously, this student has specialized in philately.

Tang Mingyao soon found a favorite stamp inside, which depicted a poplar forest in the desert.

This is one of a set of desert stamps, 1994-4, (4-3)T, face value 40 cents.

He himself has two of the stamps in this set, and he is still two short of making a complete set, and now when he sees one of them, he immediately wants to change it in his hand.

"Pot helmet, I want this, can I change it?"

"Yes. It just so happens that you have a (and) sea (harmonious) house here, and I don't have it, so I'll change this one with you. ”

Guo Yongkui said, took out a special tweezer, carefully took out the two stamps, and put them into their respective philatelic albums.

As for the difference of 20 points in face value between the two stamps, neither of them cared.

Next, Tang Mingyao exchanged more than a dozen other stamps with him, and after the exchange, he looked at his new collection and was satisfied.

Luo Wenxi sat beside him, his elbow resting on the table, his hand on his cheek, smiling the whole time as he watched the two of them swap.

As soon as the transaction was completed here, Hou Yan took the initiative to come over. She placed her stamp album on the table and showed it to him.

Tang Mingyao felt familiar, and after thinking about it, he recalled that this was the one he picked up at the post office.

Hou Yan said: "I don't repeat much, only these dozens of photos, you see, you can pick any one you want." Saying that, he did it himself, and leaned the philatelic album towards Tang Mingyao a little so that he could see it more clearly.

It's just that her two hands didn't leave the booklet, obviously, she didn't mean to let Tang Mingyao turn it over.

This girl didn't let him touch the booklet!

Tang Mingyao said that I touched it last year, what's the big deal.

Of course, he also understands that girls are a bit of a cleanliness fetish and don't want people to touch their personal belongings, so he didn't say anything.

However, Luo Wenxi pursed his lips slightly, a little dissatisfied with Hou Yan's move.

Tang Mingyao chose two stamps, one for the ninety-seven years of "White-bellied Golden Chicken" and one for the ninety-two years of "Big Lacewing".

Hou Yan also selected two gymnastics stamps in his booklet, and soon the transaction was completed, and the two were about to find a new object each, when suddenly, there was a muffled sound from the podium, which startled everyone.

Tang Mingyao looked up and saw that he was a tall man of 1.8 meters, with slender arms and neck, a rib-like figure, wearing a T-shirt that was much wider than himself, and when his arms moved, his clothes were swaying, looking very much like a bamboo pole.

"Yu Ziqiang."

Hou Yan frowned and said his name.

"Who? What's wrong? ”

Tang Mingyao asked quietly.

Hou Yan said: "My primary school classmate is now studying in Class 5, and I don't know who called him here. This person is very annoying, and every time he is there, everyone can't communicate in peace. ”

I saw Yu Ziqiang patting the thick philatelic book on the stage, and said loudly: "If you want to buy stamps, as long as you are 86 years old in Mongolia (defense) dwellings, western (and) Tibetan (harmonious) dwellings, and northeast dwellings, the stamp number is 23, and the face value is 1 point and 2 cents, I will buy it at a price of 100 times." ”

Cough!

Tang Mingyao couldn't hold back a smile and choked on his own saliva.

is so high-profile, I thought it was going to be a big business, but it turned out to be a one-dollar or two-dollar transaction, which is really insightful.
