Back to 1980: Please Love Me Again

Chapter 112

Shanqian Village, Zhao Wenmu's new home.

Zhao Wenmu put down his notebook, and pulled Zhao Jing in front of him.

"Daughter-in-law, you are such a treasure! If you write well, you will definitely become a leading figure in the literary world in the future!"

Zhao Jing doesn't take his so-called "literary master" seriously at all, but even so, she still insists on writing a chapter every day.

Well, it’s a lot to write a chapter!
She also sometimes writes some short stories, insights, etc. Zhao Wenmu will help her send them to the editorial department of "Reader". After a long time, "Wen Jing" has become a little famous in the circle.

Wen Jing, of course, is Zhao Jing's pen name.

Before marrying Zhao Wenmu, she was called Zhao Wenjing.

Having personally cultivated a rising literary star, and she is also his own wife, Zhao Wenmu feels that she is the leader of the literary world, a real master of the literary world!
Not to mention the sense of accomplishment.

Back to the present.

After Zhao Wenqiu finished transcribing the manuscript, he was going to send a letter to Zheshan Commune that afternoon.

Looking at the gloomy sky outside, Zhao Wenmu decided to send her there himself.

The brother and sister got on their bicycles and pedaled for more than an hour before arriving at Zheshan Commune.

"Third Brother, aren't we stupid! Why did we come to Zheshan Commune? Wouldn't it be better to go directly to the county seat?"

Zhao Wenqiu directly tortured his soul, leaving Zhao Wenmu speechless.

Yes, why did you come to Zheshan Commune?
It takes about half an hour to ride a bicycle from Shanqian Village to the city, and the road conditions are even better!

"How do I know why I came to the commune? Aren't you the one who always walks ahead?"

Zhao Wenmu frantically dumped the pot.

It's all here, what else can I do?
After entering the post office, Zhao Wenqiu received a warm reception.

Because the postman Lao Xu who went to Shanqian Village to deliver the admission notice was here!

"Oh! Comrade Zhao Wenqiu, hello, hello! Please sit down, are you here to send a letter? Come, come, drink a glass of water first..."

Zhao Wenqiu drank the water with a dazed expression.

"Oh, I'm here to send a letter! Where to send it? Oh, the capital city! The capital city needs 8 cents!"

Zhao Wenqiu handed over the manuscript.

Old Xu took it with both hands.

"What information is this?"

"Oh, the thesis! The thesis is too important, why don't you send a registered letter! It's not expensive, it's only 1 cents!"

Hearing that the manuscript in his hand was a thesis, Lao Xu immediately became serious.

"That's fine, just send it by registered mail!"

Zhao Wenqiu was also worried that the letter would be lost on the way.

How uncomfortable it would be for her to wait in vain.

"Xiao Wang, bring a stamp of this year's zodiac!"

Old Xu called the young man sitting at the counter to pick up the stamps.

"This is this year's zodiac stamp. If you draw a lucky picture, it will definitely be published!"

I heard that the thesis was to be published in academic journals. Although Lao Xu didn't understand these things, he didn't hesitate to say good things.

Anyway, it doesn't cost money to say good things.

The young man handed over two small postage stamps.

A white background with a rooster with colorful and messy lines on it, with "China Post, 8 points" written on the right.

8 is written like a capsule.

This is the 1981 Xinyou Year of the Rooster stamp.

The other is a simple kite pattern, 4 cents.

Zhao Wenmu suddenly remembered, isn't the zodiac stamp in 1980 the monkey stamp that became famous later?

The price of this thing has increased by more than 1 times, and the single price is almost [-] yuan.

Of course, after 2000.

It's actually not that expensive.

1 yuan, even for him in 1981, is not a big number.

"Do you still have last year's zodiac stamps?"

Zhao Wenmu asked casually.

"Last year, ah, it was that ugly monkey!"

Old Xu thought for a while, and seemed very dissatisfied with this monkey.

"Xiao Wang, I remember last year's zodiac stamps are still there?"

Old Xu likes to ask Xiao Wang when he is indecisive.

"Yes, there is a whole page! No one wants to use it."

As Xiao Wang said, he lowered his head and rummaged around.

After a while, he took out a large sheet of stamps, and there were seven or eight stamps here and there.

That big sheet is almost as big as an A4 paper.

Black figure on red background.

Neatly, there are eighty little monkey papers with dazed faces.

A few scattered monkeys are also the same style.

It was designed by Mr. Shao Bolin, a master of Chinese painting.

I have to say that this old gentleman's painting style is not acceptable to ordinary people!

But this little monkey is quite cute.

The value of this entire edition of Monkey Tickets is incomparable!Anyone who plays collections knows that the difference between a set and a set is not a multiple relationship, but an exponential increase.

One edition is worth far more than eighty individual monkey tickets!
After spending 70 yuan and 4 cents, Zhao Wenmu bought all 88 monkey tickets.

Although Lao Xu and Xiao Wang didn't understand why, they were still very grateful to him.

After all, these stamps have tortured Xiao Wang for a year, and finally he can never see them again!
"Third brother, why did you buy so many stamps?"

"This little monkey is quite cute!"

It snowed on the way home, and the brother and sister rode even harder in the snow.

Zhao Wenqiu was even more annoyed by his behavior of coming to Zheshan Commune to send letters.

Zhao Wenmu changed his mood.

If we lose our horses, we can't know what a blessing is.

If you hadn't come to the small and remote place of Zheshan Commune, you might not have encountered monkey tickets!
"Little sister, this commemorative stamp for the Year of the Monkey is the first commemorative stamp issued by the Chinese Zodiac in the country, and it was drawn by a master of Chinese painting himself."

"The total circulation is only 500 million pieces!"

Zhao Wenmu started the preaching mode.

But, let's talk about it as soon as we open our mouth.

He simply closed his mouth and waited until he got home.

Back home, sitting around the stove, Zhao Wenmu took out the monkey ticket and told Zhao Wenqiu and Zhao Jing why he bought it.

"The zodiac culture has a long cultural history in China, and this monkey ticket has epoch-making significance."

It is undeniable that the Year of the Monkey zodiac commemorative stamps are the first time that a complete set of commemorative stamps has been issued.

At any time, the first always has a special meaning.

Monkey stamps are the first edition of the first set of zodiac stamps.

Two first bonuses, naturally worth doubled!

"And its waste rate is very high. If this red ink is stored for a long time, it will be very viscous, and the printed stamps will have sticking problems, and it is not easy to dry. Therefore, the final finished product is less than 500 million."

Zhao Jing took the stamps and looked at them carefully. Sure enough, some of the stamps had uneven ink.

"In the future, when living conditions improve, more and more people will collect stamps in the city."

"So this monkey ticket will definitely increase in value!"

Zhao Wenmu said this with confidence.

After all, there is a popular saying in the collection circle, "One monkey ticket is one car, one version of monkey ticket is one apartment", although it is a bit exaggerated, it also reflects the collection value of monkey tickets.

The two women immediately nodded like chickens pecking at rice.

Zhao Jing carefully put away the stamps.

In this wave, Zhao Wenmu has gained a lot of admiration.

"Third brother, if you want to say that, don't you still have a lot of things to collect?"

"For example, some previous documents, big-character posters and so on."

Zhao Wenqiu drew inferences from one instance, and immediately figured out the key point.

It is nothing more than the word scarcity. Scarcity can refer to the present, and more importantly, the future.

"Then the previous RMB is also acceptable, it is best to be a whole set, brand new!"

Zhao Jing's little head is also very flexible.

"That's right, the New Year's money that my father gave out during the Chinese New Year, the car worker's version of 2 yuan, I think it will be worth it in the future!"

Occasionally take advantage of the rebirth, open the eyes of the sky or something.

It's very cool!

Since then, Zhao Jing and Zhao Wenqiu have also developed some habits, and they will be able to collect some inconspicuous gadgets.

Especially some gadgets with the characteristics of the times.

　Don't take it seriously, don't take it seriously
