Chapter 467: The Man Who Smoked

"Alright, you two don't mumble, the train is leaving." Hua honestly reminded.

"Hey! Do not say. Nian Juying choked up.

"You old lady, you just go to school, do you need to cry and wipe your tears?" Hua Laoshi shook his head again and again.

Nian Juying glanced at the old man with disgust, "You have no heart and no lungs." He sniffed and grabbed Hua Junyao's hand and nagged, "Don't lose your mouth?" You are now taking two people to make up for it, and you should be careful not to get sick, and it is not easy to take medicine when you are pregnant with a child. I'd rather hold it up a little bit and don't catch a cold......"

"Jingshu? Chu Bei's family is older than the month, so it will trouble you a lot. Chu Meiqin pulled Xia Jingshu and said.

"I've handed it over to you, I must be safe?" Xiao Shunmei instructed.

"Sister, I don't need your advice, I know." Xia Jingshu patted her hand comfortingly, "Although I haven't given birth to a child, I am very experienced in serving confinement children." Facing their puzzled eyes, he smiled slightly, "You have forgotten the eldest sister's son, Zeyuan!" ”

The two sisters-in-law glanced at each other, but this is true, when Jingzhu gave birth, it was the busy summer season, and it was Jingshu, who was in her teens, who helped take care of the newborn and the mother.

"That's almost twenty years old, can this work?" Chu Meiqin muttered.

"Isn't it time for you and your mother-in-law to be there!" Xiao Shunmei said with a smile, "The birth of the Chubei family will also pick a day, just in time for the summer busy, lukewarm." If this is a prickly prickly man born in Futian, born in the thirty-ninth day, adults and children will suffer. ”

"Alright, stop nagging, it's time to get in the car." Xiao Wanquan reminded them.

"Got it." Xia Jingshu nodded and said, "Mother, uncle, concubine, let's go?" ”

"Let's go! Be careful on the road. Xiao Wanquan waved his hand.

Xia Jingshu walked up to Hua Junyao and said, "We should go." ”

"Dad, mother, I'm leaving?" Hua Junyao said reluctantly.

"Let's go!" Nian Juying wiped her tears and said.

"Mother, don't you cry? If you want, I'll go see me! Where do I have a place to live, it is convenient to go back and forth, and I will reimburse you for your travel expenses. Hua Junyao said playfully.

"Poof...... You kid. Nian Juying was amused by her and burst into laughter.

Xia Jingshu came over and called, "Brother and sister, it's time to get in the car." ”

The two got into the sleeper car, found the berth, put down their luggage, opened the window, and looked towards the platform.

"Mother!" Xia Jingshu waved her hands and shouted.

waved goodbye to his family through the window, and the train clanged...... He drove away from the station and left his family far away on the platform.

&*&

Xia Jingshu laboriously closed the window before sitting back in the bunk.

As when they came, there were very few people in the sleepers, at least in their six beds, and there were people in the two lower berths.

"How? You okay! Xia Jingshu looked at Hua Junyao and said.

"I'm fine, if Sister Jingshu is bored, just read a book." Hua Junyao said as she took off her shoes, pulled out the folded quilt, and lay down, "I'm going to lie down." ”

"I'm adding a bed and quilt for you." Xia Jingshu got up as she spoke, took the quilt from the top bunk, and uncovered it on Hua Junyao's body.

"Thank you." Hua Junyao said.

&*&

With the clanging sound, Hua Junyao went directly to sleep, while Xia Jingshu took the walkman and practiced English. Borrowing a while, she began to supplement her knowledge of foreign languages, this Walkman is Hua Junyao's, she usually listens to English tapes, and can listen to English radio in a whisper at night.

At this time, it was very difficult to get a foreign language environment, and Xia Jingshu and they could only practice listening to foreign language radio if they wanted to practice English.

Xia Jingshu is not young, and she has never been exposed to English, so she can only play the clips she has heard over and over again in her head, and constantly scrutinize her speaking habits and standard English pronunciation. Learn a foreign language in the dumbest way, and English can only be accumulated slowly with time and patience, and there are no shortcuts.

Xia Jingshu watched Hua Junyao's body shake unnaturally, and quickly took off her headphones, and heard her coughing sound of "cough cough ......".

Xia Jingshu felt her throat itch, "Where did you get such a big smell of smoke?" The hand hurriedly waved to disperse the cigarette.

Xia Jingshu followed the smell of smoke and looked over, and by the window diagonally opposite sat a middle-aged man wearing an army green tweed coat and a gray sweater, about forty years old.

The side face is clearly contoured, the eyes are slightly cold, and the curved eyebrows are like paint. With a cigarette between his fair and slender fingers, he took a deep breath and slowly exhaled a bewitching smoke, and in the smoke, his cold face loomed.

is obviously wearing warm clothes, but his whole body exudes - don't get close to the cold.

Xia Jingshu took a deep breath, mustered up the courage to step forward, grabbed the seams of her pants with both hands, pursed her lips and said, "This comrade, there is a pregnant woman here, can you please extinguish the cigarette?" ”

When he heard this, his gaze fell slightly on her, and then he turned away calmly.

Just this glance, Xia Jingshu also saw his appearance clearly, sword-like eyebrows, eyes as cold as night, eyes as cold as ice blades, and her whole body exuded an aura of indifference to the extreme, she opened her mouth again, but she couldn't make a sound.

He stood up suddenly, Xia Jingshu subconsciously took a step back, a little scared in her heart, but found that he left her with a tall back, which disappeared in front of Xia Jingshu's eyes in the blink of an eye.

Call...... How tall is it? Xia Jingshu patted her chest and said to herself, "I'm glad I left, otherwise I wouldn't dare to say it a second time." I shuddered inexplicably, "It's so cold?" ”

The rest of the journey was uneventful, and I didn't see the cold man in sight.

Xia Jingshu got off the train and forgot about this short side.

"It's better to be comfortable at home." Xia Jingshu put down her luggage and ordered, "Jing Heng, you hurry up and burn the boiler, it's already spring and it's still so cold." ”

"The spring cold is steep!" Xiao Shaoheng said with a smile.

"Let's go! Let's go make a fire. Xiao Jingheng pulled his two younger brothers and said.

Xia Jingshu stomped to the kitchen, grabbed a briquette, and hurriedly ran to the courtyard opposite.

The stove started a fire, Xia Jingshu looked at Hua Junyao who was sitting in the kitchen and said, "It's still early for my brother and sister, we have eaten at home." We brought a lot of food from home, and we couldn't leave it for a long time. Heat them up, make a noodle soup, and pick some vegetables from the garden. ”

"Okay, listen to my sister." Hua Junyao had no doubts.

Xia Jingshu first heated the boiled things on the stove before starting to mix the noodles.

I had a hot dinner, and I was warm.

"That's when I felt alive." Xiao Shaoheng patted his slightly bulging stomach and said, "Auntie, there is a question that has been held in my heart for a long time, and when I return to the capital, I will ask why my aunt's money is not stored in the bank, but is spent." For example: let someone help you collect rags, stamps, buy a house, ......"

"Yes, yes, I also have questions, what is 'a small piece of red', 'a big piece of red', 'total victory', 'black inscription'...... What are these stamps for? Xiao Jingheng also asked puzzled.

"As a philatelic enthusiast, I understand, but this leader's portrait, all kinds of stamps, even villain books, comic books, and pictorials are too strange for you! Is there a lot of market? Kang Zeyuan was also full of doubts.

Hua Junyao was not idle when she was raising a baby at home, and found a few half-grown children in the alley, and these children generally have many children in their families and are poor. As the saying goes: a half-grown boy eats Lao Tzu, and his brain is flexible for stuttering. Now that Hua Junyao provides this convenient condition, there are naturally people who are willing to do it.

Let them run errands to find old objects, and the cost of running errands varies depending on the value of the things they are looking for, ranging from a few cents to ten or eight yuan.

There are a lot of things to collect during this period, as they said above, no matter which one of them, it is a very valuable collection for future generations, but the most terrifying thing that really adds value is the stamps. The stamps of the Holocaust period are not as large and extant as the leader's portrait badge, and the various leader's portrait medals have a cumulative circulation of billions, nor are they like pictorials, stamps, villain books, and comic books that lack unique historical and political significance. Although a lot of stamps with the prefix "Wen" were issued during the Holocaust period, there are not many posterior stamps.

For political reasons, the west wind overwhelmed the east wind, so the east wind was naturally abandoned, discarded, and destroyed.

In particular, the four selected by Hua Junyao are all supernumerary stamps with the prefix "Wen".

"Total Victory" and "Black Inscription" were all recycled after a short period of time for some reason, while "Big Red" and "Small Red" were only released for half a day, and the place of release was only in the capital. The full name of "a piece of red" is "a piece of red mountains and rivers across the country", and a large version of 60x40 cm was designed first, and it was printed as soon as the design was passed. Later, because he was criticized for "being greedy for perfection", he designed a small version of 30x40 cm, so there are two kinds of "one piece of red".

"The Mountains and Rivers of the Whole Country Are Red" was withdrawn after half a day of issuance, because the map of our country on this stamp omitted some islands in the South China Sea, and the bends were not red.

There are only ten of them that can survive in the future, and people can only enjoy them online, but now that they have the opportunity, of course, they must seize it. The price of these four stamps in later generations has exceeded one million, and the price of one red has broken three million, and there is still no market.

Hua Junyao tossed for so long, and only found a large piece of red.

"During the Chinese New Year, I said that I would invest, right?" Hua Junyao looked at them and said, they nodded, and she suddenly asked, "How do you feel about the current prices compared to two years ago?" ”

"It's up! Especially in the second half of last year, food prices soared. Xiao Jingheng nodded heavily, he often followed Xia Jingshu to the grain store, so he clearly knew the changes in the grain.

"And how do you feel about the money in your hand?" Hua Junyao asked again.

"It's not enough to spend! Needless to say? Xiao Shaoheng immediately said.

"That's what I'm spending money for." Hua Junyao said slowly.

"Brother and sister, the room is hot now, you can go back to the room and rest! I was also tired after a day on the train. Xia Jingshu helped her stand up and said, "Don't ask the three of you, you can ask again when your aunt has rested enough." The man walked out.

"Huh?" Leaving the three of them staring at each other, what is this?
