The leader is my girlfriend

Chapter 39: Becoming a Stamp Collector

If someone had told Wang Yiming before that he could stay at home without going to work, he would be very happy because he could watch videos, read novels, play games, browse shopping apps, and the world is his with his mobile phone in hand. But now...

His uncle and aunt were going to work, so they told him to stay home quietly and lock the door. In this day and age, staying home is a waste of time! Wang Yiming refused to accept this, so he left with his uncle and aunt, becoming a homeless street urchin.

In fact, he could also go to the countryside to purchase some goods, but Wang Yiming has always had a principle, that is - never talk about work during the holidays, and never do anything related to work, otherwise the good holiday will no longer be pure, and it will become dirty. He defines this as spiritual cleanliness.

So, thinking about the itinerary for today's day trip (getting rich), Wang Yiming decided to go to the post office first to buy some stamps for his collection, just in case he was lucky enough to receive them. His knowledge was a bit limited, he had only heard of things like big dragon stamps, small dragon stamps, and "the mountains and rivers of the motherland are all red" when watching TV dramas...

However, he had no idea what stamps looked like, so he could only go to the post office and cast a wide net to catch fish, and then go to the trust store to see if he could find any good stuff.

【post office】

When facing a lesbian, Wang Yiming took two White Rabbit milk candies and called her "sister" to invisibly bring the two closer together. In his heart, they are all sisters.

"Miss, do we have any commemorative stamps for sale?"

After looking around, the female comrade at the post office asked him quietly,

"Comrade Wang, do you like stamp collecting?"

"Uh, yes." It's not a lie. Wang Yiming's purpose of collecting stamps is to get rich and have financial freedom in the future. Who doesn't like money? So by extension, he likes stamps and stamp collecting. Yes, he is a person with a hobby.

"I have a friend who likes to collect these. I can contact him and exchange a set with you."

"Really?"

"Really? Come with me after lunch break and I'll take you to find him."

"Miss, you are really beautiful and kind-hearted."

"Comrade Wang, you have such a sweet mouth."

"Tell the truth."

If you don't want money, then you can't just keep saying it. Wang Yiming thought, "Sister, you used to be a salesperson, okay? You haven't forgotten the sales tactics."

[Think back to how morning meetings used to be: one person speaking at the top and a group of people cooperating below.

Is it embarrassing? I'm used to it.

Good morning, fellow gym comrades!

Good! Very good! Very good!!!

Then everyone applauded and said that this was an excellent psychological suggestion.

hehe……】

----------

It was lunchtime, and Li Xiaoli took Wang Yiming into the alley behind the post office and into a courtyard. Their destination was the side room next to it.

dong dong dong...

"Who?"

"I'm Li Xiaoli."

"Third sister? Why are you here?"

"Come and see how you're getting by."

“That’s not…”

"I don't want to hear your nonsense. Don't you have a lot of stamps? Comrade Wang wants to collect stamps. Can you find someone suitable and recommend him?"

"Third sister, these are all my treasures."

"Baby, one is enough. Every time you buy something, you always buy several sets of the same thing."

"……,All right."

After the brother and sister communicated with each other, Li Xiaoli asked Wang Yiming to come into the house, but he was actually a little resistant. The house was really dirty, with socks on the floor as soon as he entered the door.

Li Xiaoli then paid attention to the house, "Can you be more tidy? You keep making the house look like a doghouse all day long. Otherwise, you should get married and find someone to help you clean it up..." As she spoke, she cleaned up the house without being able to bear it any longer.

Wang Yiming looked at him and thought, this guy is really great, he would never touch other people's smelly socks, and that big shorts... eh... disgusting.

"Hey, what kind of stamps do you want?" Li Xiaojun took the initiative to speak. He did have several sets of each type of stamps. He usually waited for the soulmate when he came across different types. He thought that the person his sister brought today might be the one, but he might be wrong.

"Any kind is fine. I just want to collect some. Could you introduce some to me?" Wang Yiming took out a cigarette and handed it over.

"Thank you. I'll tell you slowly." Li Xiaojun didn't smoke. He put the cigarette behind his ear and went to the cabinet to get his stamp album.

"My sister works at the post office, so I'm the first one to buy a lot of stamps. If you want to collect stamps, I'm the right person to come to."

The child hadn't brushed his teeth for a few days, and his mouth tasted bad whenever he spoke. Wang Yiming handed him two White Rabbit milk candies and put one in his own mouth as well. Li Xiaojun saw that he had eaten one, so he would eat one too. He opened the candy, put one in his mouth, and handed the other to his sister Li Xiaoli.

"Then shall I introduce you from the beginning?"

"Row."

Li Xiaoli tidied up briefly and watched the two of them chatting happily.

"Okay, you guys can continue chatting. I'm going back to the post office first. Comrade Wang, if you have anything, please come find me at the post office."

"Okay, please help Sister Xiaoli."

"No trouble, no trouble." Then she left.

I have to admire Li Xiaojun, he can really keep talking without getting thirsty, explaining each set separately, one by one.

"Do you have anything farther away?"

"Yes, wait a minute."

Li Xiaojun went to the cabinet again and took out a new one.

"Let me show you this one."

"it is good."

Li Xiaojun began his new explanation,

This is……"

"Are there any recent ones? I heard there was a stamp called 'The Whole Country is Red,' which was urgently recalled after only half a day of being issued."

"Dude, you really know your stuff, don't you?"

...Actually, I don’t understand, but Wang Yiming knows that this is valuable.

(The front of the note features workers, peasants, and soldiers holding Quotations from Mao Zedong. In the background, red flags of the "Communist Party Committee" form a sea of ​​red, and workers, peasants, and soldiers cheer enthusiastically. Above is a map of the country, painted bright red except for Taiwan, with the words "The whole country is red" printed in gold.

Over 3400 million stamps were printed at the time. After the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications discovered the problem, it urgently ordered all post offices nationwide to stop selling them and return all stamps. However, due to some post offices selling them prematurely, a small number of stamps were lost, and the total number is estimated to be no more than 1000.

"It's okay. Do you have this?" In fact, Wang Yiming didn't have any hope.

"Actually... I have two, I can give you one."

??? Is it true???

"Thank you, how would you like to change it?"

"You're just going to change this one?"

"I'll replace all the ones you just took out."

"Ah? Are you sure?"

"Sure." Wang Yiming was not only sure, he was absolutely certain and certain that this was wealth that was delivered to his doorstep.

Li Xiaojun looked at Wang Yiming with eyes full of admiration. They were indeed kindred spirits. In that case...

"The others are all sets, so just give me the normal price. I'll give this one to you as a gift as a token of friendship."

"No, I can't just accept this. We have to change."

"Then you can give it as you see fit." Li Xiaojun pushed all the stamps over and let Wang Yiming calculate the price himself.

……

Wang Yiming calculated the original price of stamps: the original price of a stamp from the 1960s was 6.41 yuan, the original price of a stamp from the 1950s was 1.82 yuan, and a red stamp cost 8 cents. Adding these together, the original price came to 8.31 yuan. However, this is the purchase price; the collector's price can't be calculated in the same way. The good thing about this era is that counterfeiting technology is not very advanced, so there's basically no need to worry about buying fake stamps.

"If you're too embarrassed, just give me 10 yuan for the whole thing, including this notebook."

"No, I'll give you 30 bucks, and wait while I get you something else."

30 yuan is almost Wang Yiming's monthly salary. If he calculates it this way, he won't feel too empty.

"Hey." Wang Yiming said and walked out, and Li Xiaojun didn't have time to call him.

When I go out, the air outside is so fresh!

Wang Yiming walked to the bicycle and pretended to take out a small basket from the basket on the back seat. This was a gift from the aunts when he collected eggs. He still had space for 5-6 more.

The basket was covered with newspaper and he put 5 kilograms of wild boar meat in it. He carried it back into the house and put the small basket on the table. Wang Yiming took out 3 Da Tuanjie cigarettes from his pocket and 2 unopened packs of Da Qianmen cigarettes and handed them to Li Xiaojun together.

"Xiaojun, I'll trade these with you."

"This... is a bit too much."

His sister always said that he was obsessed with material things and lost his ambition. How could he make money from this? He was just preparing to give it to her because he felt that they were kindred spirits.

"These stamps are worth the price. I'm so grateful that you gave me this. Don't exchange the one you have left. Keep it. It will be very valuable in the future."

"Then I'll take it?"

"Yes, if you have more stamps, please collect one for me and I'll exchange them with you later."

"Okay, my home is right here anyway, so come find me if you need anything."

"Okay, then you take a rest. I'm leaving first."

"Hey, you didn't take the basket?"

"This one is also changed, it's yours."

"Huh? Oh."

After Wang Yiming left, Li Xiaojun went over and opened the newspaper. He was stunned when he saw the wild boar meat in the basket. How could this person have so much money and meat?

Who said he is not ambitious? His stamps are too valuable. He quickly put on his shoes and went out. He needs to share them with his sister.
