Chapter 64 Stamp Collecting

This year is 1974. The numbered stamps "Women" issued last year and this year on March 8th will be fetched an astronomical price by collectors in the future.

There is also the "Centennial Commemoration of the Universal Postal Union" stamp, which is an international theme and relatively rare in the stamp collecting world, and is also quite valuable.

Besides, other ordinary stamps, such as "Unearthed Cultural Relics" and "Barefoot Doctors", will see their prices increase a hundredfold in later generations, becoming priceless and unavailable.

How did the Cen family accumulate such a large fortune in just a century?

Besides income from grain and some factory buildings, generations of their family have also been involved in collecting items, including jewelry, calligraphy and paintings, and antique ornaments...

Cen Yan admits that she was spoiled by Shan Jianshe and didn't have the foresight of her grandparents. But given a second chance at life, she has a precognitive advantage that others can hardly match.

She can buy stamps, gold, antiques (whether real or fake), or rare woods and put them in her space, waiting for them to appreciate in value.

Otherwise, even if the Cen family had mountains of gold and silver, it wouldn't be enough for her to squander alone.

People have to be willing to spend money before they know how to make money! This is what her grandparents told her when they were alive.

Qi Jingchuan frowned. "I'll pay for it. Send a telegram."

Qi Jingchuan's wife wouldn't have to worry about such a small amount of money.

Cen Yan got annoyed and turned to glare at the man: "Does your money grow on trees? I just want to write a letter to save money, is that not allowed?"

"Okay." Qi Jingchuan nodded, not offering his opinion on such a trivial matter, but his gaze towards Cen Yan held a hint of helplessness that he himself was unaware of.

Qi Jingchuan gave in, and Cen Yan pulled him into the post office, asking the staff to bring up the stamp board. She happily spent a long time choosing stamps.

I bought all the stamps that caught my eye, spending over ten yuan to buy several sets of stamps.

Many people like Cen Yan, who picks and chooses stamps, but she is the first person to buy more than ten yuan worth of stamps at once.

If it weren't for the presence of such a high-ranking leader as Qi Jingchuan, the post office staff would have suspected that the enemy was planning to use the stamps to cause some kind of harm to their country.

"Let's buy these."

Buying too much will lead to mistakes.

Cen Yan bought all the beautiful stamps that would later appreciate in value before she stopped, her interest waning.

With Qi Jingchuan around, it wasn't appropriate for him to hoard stamps in a big way, so he had to buy all the ones he liked first.

Qi Jingchuan read the several letters Cen Yan had written, filled in the Shanghai address for each one, and mailed them out. At the end of each letter, he emphasized one sentence:

Don't worry, Qi Jingchuan didn't hit me.

His forehead throbbed when he saw it, but he couldn't say anything.

"Alright, let's go."

Cen Yan mailed the letter, called out to Qi Jingchuan who was waiting beside her, and walked out with him with a smile.

After exiting, there was a photo studio. Cen Yan originally didn't plan to go in, but Qi Jingchuan went in on his own.

Seeing that Cen Yan hadn't followed, he urged, "Let's take wedding photos."

"Didn't you already take photos when you got your marriage certificate? Why are you taking them again today?"

Qi Jingchuan's answer was very precise: "You weren't wearing a wedding dress back then."

Okay, Cen Yan thought about it and realized that was indeed the case, so she took Qi Jingchuan's hand and went inside.

"Comrade, welcome! Are you here to take wedding photos?" The staff at the counter immediately lit up when they saw Cen Yan and Qi Jingchuan.

Young men and women, handsome men and beautiful women, are definitely couples who want to take wedding photos.

Qi Jingchuan nodded. "How long?"

"You can go pick out your wedding dress first, then get your makeup done and choose a theme. It will take at most half an hour to take the photos."
