wild 1995

Chapter 19 Collection
"almost."

In 2023, due to the highly developed electronic communication equipment, it is stipulated that the postgraduate entrance examination cannot be handed in more than 30 minutes in advance, but there was no such regulation in 1995. Under the astonished eyes of candidates and teachers, Di Ye handed in the professional course examination papers more than an hour in advance, walked out of the classroom calmly, and ended the postgraduate entrance examination task.

"It's cold, it looks like it's going to snow."

Di Ye walked out of the main teaching building and saw that the outside was covered with clouds and the cold wind was howling, so he put on the hat of the down jacket, pulled the zipper to the highest point, hunched his neck and came to a public phone booth, and dialed the phone number that Xia Fangfei had left for him.

The beeping bell only rang once before being answered by a man, who said in an obviously smiling voice, "Who are you looking for?"

"I'm looking for Xia Fangfei."

"Who are you? What can I do with my sister?"

At this moment, Di Ye heard Xia Fangfei's voice, and instead of her gentle appearance in school, she yelled loudly: "Second brother! I said that I can only answer the call in the afternoon, so give me the receiver."

"I paid for the phone at home, why do you say that you can only answer it?"

"Just because I'm your younger sister, go away and give it to me..."

After frolicking on the opposite side for a while, Xia Fangfei finally grabbed the microphone, gave a hello, and asked joyfully, "Di Ye, is that you?"

"it's me."

"It's only four o'clock, shouldn't you be taking an exam?"

"The topic is too simple, I handed in the paper in advance."

"Hand in the paper so soon? Second brother, go away..."

Suddenly there was no sound from Xia Fangfei, probably because she was covering the microphone and fighting with her brother. After more than ten seconds, she regained her gentle look and said, "You will definitely pass the exam if you hand in the exam so long in advance. Do you want to come to Jinling University to see the campus environment these few days? I will be your tour guide."

"Just as a tour guide?"

"What else do you want to do?"

Di Ye once said that if he did not disappear, Di Ye would always keep a distance from his family and friends.

This is correct, although Di Ye never liked Xia Fangfei, but Di Ye always treated Xia Fangfei as his girlfriend, and usually only made some harmless verbal jokes, and never did anything physical.

Now Di Ye has disappeared in name, but in fact he has become one with Di Ye, regardless of each other. Naturally, there will be no moral barriers. The nature of Huaxin Daluobo begins to be exposed, and he teased: "I want to do a lot of things, it depends on whether you are worthy or not."

"How to cooperate?"

"It's the kind of cooperation that the king doesn't go to court early since the spring night is bitter and the days are high. Now that I have finished the exam, it doesn't matter if I don't go to court early."

"Cooperate with you big-headed ghost!"

Xia Fangfei was ashamed, and lowered her voice to warn: "You dare to say such things on the phone. If my elder brother and second elder brother hear it, they will definitely beat you up."

"Why do I feel that you are very excited, do you want to see me being beaten, or do you feel excited?"

"Look at you being beaten! Are you coming to Jinling?"

At this time, scattered snowflakes fell from the sky. Di Ye stretched out his palm, suppressed the heat in his heart with the cool touch, and said, "I've been very busy recently, and I don't have time. Let's talk about it after the Spring Festival."

"What are you busy with?"

"Busy to make money, I want to raise the 72nd concubine of the Sangong Sixth Courtyard, I can't do without money."

"I really want to see you get beaten right now, to the point of death!"

"Oh, so you actually found it exciting just now, right? How about I say something more exciting next time?"

"don't want……"

Standing in the windy phone booth, Di Ye chatted with Xia Fangfei for more than ten minutes. He didn't end the call until the phone card ran out of money. After he put down the phone, he looked at the snowflakes that were getting bigger and bigger. He shook his head and said with a smile, "I didn't expect that I would talk on the phone."

In 1995, long-distance phone calls were very expensive. Di Ye used up a 20-yuan magnetic card after only talking for ten minutes just now. He felt very painful, so he called a taxi and went straight to the city post office to find Di Yan.

It was Sunday, and she didn't have to go to work, but Di Yan and Lu Hanming were engaged in a cold war, and didn't want to be angry at home, so they came to work overtime on their own initiative. When Di Ye entered, she was looking through a thick stack of personnel files.

"Little brother, you finished the exam so quickly, how do you feel?"

"If you are lucky, you can get 500 points in the test, and if you are not lucky, you can get 499 points."

Di Yan didn't know much about the postgraduate entrance examination, so she was surprised: "You estimate the score so accurately?"

Di Ye stretched out his right hand and shook her, pretending to say: "Because the full score is only 500 points."

Seeing his confident expression, Di Yan was overjoyed. When she heard that she was going to buy a phone card, she took a stack out of the drawer of her desk, took out a few 100-face value cards, and gave them to Di Ye, saying, "Don't buy phone cards outside in the future. When you run out, come to me to get them. I have plenty here."

"Sister, you are so generous."

Di Yan pointed to the thin gold necklace around her neck, and said with a smile: "It's the first time you earn money to buy such a good gift for me. If I'm not generous to you, can I still be considered a sister?"

Di Ye laughed, looked down at the phone cards, and found that they were all magnetic cards, and asked, "Why don't you have an IC card? I heard that it's cheaper to make long distance calls with an IC card."

"The IC card has not been issued yet, so we have to wait for a while."

"So it is."

Di Ye put away the magnetic cards and was about to leave when Di Yan told him, "Don't throw away these cards after you use them up. Give them to your brother-in-law. He likes to keep them."

"Are these cards collectible?"

"Your brother-in-law said yes, but I don't know."

Di Ye felt that he had seen some information related to post card collection before, but he couldn't remember it now, so he knocked on the electronic watch, summoned the light curtain, and asked Panda Xiaohonghua to use postage stamps and phone cards as keywords to retrieve forgotten memories.

Little Red Flower quickly found more than a dozen articles. After a quick glance, Di Ye found that the third craze for collecting postal cards broke out in China from 1995 to 1997. One of the articles listed several popular magnetic cards, such as "Yangcheng magnetic card commemorative card for public telephone", "CNT-00 map test card", "CNT-03 Mei Lanfang centenary birthday card", "CNT-04 Yihai year zodiac pig card"...

"Mei Lanfang's [-]th birthday card?"

Di Ye took out the magnetic card from his pocket and looked at it, and found that Di Yan just gave him one of these cards just now, so he sat back at the desk and said, "Sister, this card is very beautiful, there should be a whole set, why did you only give me one?"

"There are 5 cards in this set, with denominations of 10, 20, 50, 100 and 200. I only have 100 denominations here, and nothing else. If you want, I will help you buy a set tomorrow."

"Thank you ma'am."

"Hehe, you are more polite now. You were not so sweet-mouthed before. Are you talking about a girlfriend?"

"not yet."

"Small sample! You still want to lie to me, why didn't you talk about your girlfriend getting so many phone cards?"

Di Ye smiled without answering, and asked Di Yan to take out all the calling cards in the drawer, and searched for them by referring to the articles on the light curtain, and found a popular card called "CNT-02 National Day 45th Anniversary Card". He was a little curious, and asked, "Why do some of these magnetic cards have numbers on them, and some don't?"

"The ones with the CNT number are issued by China Telecom nationwide, and the ones without the number are issued by the local post and telecommunications bureaus themselves."

"Isn't your post office still separated? What's going on with China Telecom?"

"In March last year, the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications changed the General Post Office and the General Administration of Telecommunications into two enterprise bureaus with separate accounting, so China Telecom can use its own signboard."

Only then did Di Ye understand, put away a few popular cards, returned the rest to Di Yan, and said, "Sister, I already have CNT-02 and CNT-03, please help me find the cards of CNT-00 and CNT-01, and make up a serial number."

"The Post Office only sells cards and does not recycle cards. If you want an old card, go to your brother-in-law. I don't have it."

Di Ye looked at Di Yan's face and saw that she was not as angry as the day before yesterday, so he said along the lines: "I think brother-in-law is a good person, but he is short of luck. When the time comes, he will definitely make a lot of money."

Di Yan snorted, dissatisfied: "He has no ambition at all, he only knows how to eat, drink and have fun. Only in the year of the monkey can he make a lot of money."

Di Ye stopped talking, stopped mentioning Lu Hanming, and changed the subject: "Sister, it's snowing outside, it's no fun for you to work overtime here alone, go shopping with me, and we'll have a celebration banquet at home tonight."

Di Yan just came to the unit to hide and not really want to work overtime. Hearing this, he put the file back in the file cabinet and locked it, and said with a smile: "Did you get hungry at school recently, and you want to have dinner in a different way. The day before yesterday was a big day, today is a celebration, what is tomorrow?"

"There is a treat tomorrow, so there is no need to have dinner at home."

"Who treats you?"

"A big boss, the general manager of Xinmin Pharmaceutical Factory."

Di Yan was slightly taken aback, and asked, "Why did he invite you?"

In the past two days, more and more reporters went to the Tongzilou to interview. Feng Shijie's case was about to be exposed. There was no need for Di Ye to continue to hide it.

Because he omitted details such as the relationship with Feng Shijie and the appointment of snakes and the sale of IBM internships, leaving only the image of a bright-eyed, wise and martial artist, Di Yan was greatly relieved after hearing this, and said with joy, "Seeing that you are usually silent, you thought you were an honest person. I didn't expect you to be so cunning at a critical moment, and you dared to ask the hair-washing girl to frame the school teacher."

"Sister, are you praising me or hurting me?"

"Of course it's a compliment. By the way, what's the name of the girl you saved? When will you show it to me?"

"I don't know her name."

"You are fooling around! Hurry up and tell me the truth..."
