Chapter 100 Chapter 100 The whole country is red

Zhuang Han looked at Zhuo Jia and whispered, "There's an old man who used to work here. He likes collecting stamps. Whenever there are stamps, he always buys a set. Now his wife is sick, and he wants to sell some to reduce the burden on the children. I see you write a lot of letters every day. Do you want some?"

In fact, Zhuo Jia was not the first person she asked, but no one else had a hobby, so asking Zhuo Jia now was just a casual question.

Zhuo Jia didn't take it to heart. She knew about the group of stamp collectors, but sorry, she didn't belong to this group because she only loved money!

So, the money-loving Zhuo Jia refused without a second thought: "I don't want it. Stamps are available at the post office. I can just buy them when I need them."

And it’s not expensive.

Zhuang Han sighed, knowing this was the answer. If the old man hadn't guided her for a while when she first arrived, she wouldn't have to ask again and again. What a pity.

She shook her head and whispered, "You don't know, but that old man loves collecting stamps. He has almost every stamp we use for travel, including the set that was previously issued and then recalled. He asked a friend to send it back to us. It cost him a lot of money, and the old couple had many arguments. I didn't expect that they would still have to rely on these stamps at the last minute."

At the end, she couldn't help but shook her head again. What could she say? She could only say that things in the world are unpredictable!

But when she heard about the set of stamps that was issued and then recalled, Zhuo Jia, who only had money in her eyes, couldn't help but be stunned. Although she didn't know much about stamps, she knew about money and knew this set of stamps. Later, this set of stamps was worth a lot of money!

Thinking of this, she looked at Zhuang Han and said, "It's really not easy for those old couple. I think it's okay for me to take a look at those stamps. If any of them are good, I can collect a few sets."

If the legendary set of "The Whole Country is Red" really existed, she felt that it was not impossible for her to collect all the stamps from the old man.

Zhuang Han, who had already given up hope, was stunned. She looked at Zhuo Jia in disbelief and asked, "Are you serious?"

She knew that Zhuo Jia was not short of money. Not to mention that the man she married could earn money, she herself could also make money by writing articles, so she had a source of income. Although she was a rural person and had no job, her life was much more comfortable than theirs.

Zhuo Jia nodded vigorously: "Yes, I am serious."

Now she doesn't even dare to think about how many zeros "The whole country is red" is worth, for fear that thinking about it will lead to obsession!

"Well, then when do you think it's a good time? I'll tell the old man to bring his stamp collection, and you can pick them out then?" Zhuang Han looked at Zhuo Jia excitedly and asked.

As for the price, she didn't mention it. She could just let Zhuo Jia and the old man discuss it when the time comes. Zhuo Jia sent a lot of letters anyway, so she had an idea of ​​the price of stamps.

Zhuo Jia thought for a moment and said, "Is the old man's house far from here? How long will it take to get there?"

It is not easy for her to come to the county now, after all, she has two hungry babies at home, so it would be better if the transaction could be completed today.

Zhuang Han understood what she meant and nodded: "Not far, about ten minutes, I'll ask someone to go and call them."

At first, Zhuo Jia didn't understand what she meant by asking someone to shout, but when she saw Zhuang Han casually grabbing a child outside, Zhuo Jia: "..."

It seems that we are really close!

Qiao Anchuan finished his call and came over to see her staring outside without saying a word. He walked over and asked, "What's wrong?"

He also looked outside, and well, he didn't recognize her.

Zhuo Jia looked up and asked, "Are you done with your call?"

I almost forgot that I didn’t come here alone today!

Qiao Anchuan nodded: "Yes, the fight is over. When will you finish your work here?"

His wife has quite a few friends in this county, and it seems like she knows people everywhere!

Zhuo Jia thought for a moment and said, "We'll have to wait a little longer. I want to buy some stamps so it will be convenient for me to write letters in the future."

Even if it was her man, the father of her child, she would never tell anyone about the existence of the purchasing group. She wanted to take the purchasing group to the underworld!

Although Qiao Anchuan didn't understand why he had to wait to buy stamps, he knew that he just had to be obedient at this time, so he stood next to Zhuo Jia and waited with her without saying a word.

Zhuang Han came back and saw this scene: "..."

If the situation wasn't inappropriate, she would have asked Zhuo Jia how she found such a good man, or did she need to teach herself to be a good man?

After waiting for about ten minutes, the old man came over on his bicycle, locked the bicycle outside, and came in carrying a box.

"Uncle Wang, here." When Zhuang Han saw the old man, he immediately raised his hand and shouted.

Zhuo Jia and Qiao Anchuan looked over at the same time, and then looked at the box in the old man's hand at the same time.

Uncle Wang: “…”

He clutched his suitcase with some reluctance, but finally said, "Let's go inside and talk."

At first Zhuo Jia didn’t understand what was going on, but after she followed the old man into the office and the people inside voluntarily let him out, she realized how deep this place was!

Uncle Wang looked at Qiao Anchuan, then at Zhuo Jia, and finally opened the box and said to Zhuo Jia, "This is what I have treasured in my life. You can take a look and see if there is anything you like."

As for why he didn't ask Qiao Anchuan, as a married gay man, he really understood some things too well. If it was Qiao Anchuan who wanted stamps, there wouldn't be two people here today!

Zhuo Jia took two steps forward and saw the densely packed sets of stamps in the box. She was completely shocked. She felt that she had never seen so many stamps in her life. It was really shocking.

Not to mention that this box of stamps is too much for a philatelist to bear, even she, who only loves money, finds it a little overwhelming to look at this box.

"You can take a look." Uncle Wang was very satisfied with her reaction. He looked at the stamps in the box with a nostalgic look and said.

If it weren't for the fact that his old lady's illness this time would cost a lot of money, he wouldn't have been willing to take out this box of treasures.

Zhuo Jia picked up one set at random, then another. Some of them looked familiar, maybe she had used them before, but some of them were completely unfamiliar to her. She was dazzled by the selection and really didn't know how to choose.

So she looked at Qiao Anchuan and said, "Take a look and pick whichever one you like. I'll use the one you picked when I write to you in the future."

She collected stamps simply to use them, not to appreciate them.

Uncle Wang: “…”

There are so many stamps in the post office, why do they have to use the ones in the box? These are for collection!

Seeing the distress on Uncle Wang's face, Qiao Anchuan shook his head with amusement, but he still followed Zhuo Jia's suggestion and picked a few sets from them. In fact, he also had quite a few stamps, which were all issued in the army but not used up. It's just that he didn't know Zhuo Jia liked this. He would send it to Zhuo Jia when he got back!

Based on Qiao Anchuan's selection, Zhuo Jia also picked a few sets. She didn't know how to collect, she just looked at what she liked. She took the ones she liked and discarded the ones she didn't like. Of course, she didn't forget to pick out "The Whole Country is Red", that was her purpose!

Uncle Wang looked at the seven or eight sets she had picked out, his face filled with disdain. He looked at Zhuo Jia and asked, "Are you sure these are the only ones?"

In his opinion, except for the "Mountains and Rivers Are All Red", the sets selected by Zhuo Jia are all beautiful but worthless.

Well, as a stamp enthusiast, he actually knows the value of these stamps very well. After all, many of them were collected by him.

Zhuo Jia shook her head: "No, these are enough, enough to last me for a long time."

She is not a real stamp lover, and the old man in front of her does not want to sell all the stamps, so it all depends on fate at this time, and the fate between these stamps and her and the old man.

However, this set of "The Whole Country is Red" is definitely more suitable for her!

Seeing her like this, Uncle Wang stopped persuading her, because he thought to himself that the money he earned from these stamps was almost enough to make ends meet!

Thus, a satisfactory transaction was completed within the Post and Telecommunications Bureau!

When they went out, Zhuo Jia's bag fell into Qiao Anchuan's hands, and it was full of stamps.

"Where are we going next?" Qiao Anchuan, carrying stamps, asked Zhuo Jia.

He originally wanted to take Zhuo Jia directly to the movies, but now it seems that he should listen to Zhuo Jia's opinion first. After all, Zhuo Jia has many friends in the county.

Sure enough, after hearing this, Zhuo Jia said, "Let's go to the supply and marketing cooperative to see my cousin first."

When she was in the hospital before, her cousin Lin Yu came to see her many times, so she should go see her cousin now.

Qiao Anchuan nodded and followed behind without saying a word.

On the way, Zhuo Jia told Qiao Anchuan about Peng Kuo and Mrs. Tang: "When you were away, Mrs. Tang helped a lot. While you are back, why don't we treat them to a meal?"

She had always remembered this, but she was pregnant before, and Qiao Anchuan had never come back, so she didn't find the opportunity.

Qiao Anchuan nodded: "Okay, I'll ask Lao Peng later to see when he and Mrs. Tang are free, and try to invite them before I leave."

He had to thank Sister Tang very much. He had heard from his mother that when Jia Jia gave birth, if it wasn't for the old doctor invited by Sister Tang, both Jia Jia and the baby would have been in danger!

"good."

The two of them were talking and soon arrived at the supply and marketing cooperative. Lin Yu was excited to see them. He greeted Qiao Anchuan and then pulled Zhuo Jia aside.

Lin Yu asked quietly: "When did your man come back?"

It's been a month since the birth of the child, and the man has only just come back?

It’s just that Zhuo Jia has a good temper. If it were someone else, let alone going out together, I’m afraid their face would be scratched!

Zhuo Jia couldn't help laughing when she saw her acting like a thief: "I've been back for several days. I came back on the day I was discharged from the hospital."

Well, every time Comrade Lin Yu went to the hospital to see her and the child, she would look for Qiao Anchuan to see if he had come. Although she didn't complain in front of her, she was very angry every time. If it weren't for the fact that her in-laws hadn't cut off contact with her, she would probably be even angrier!

Although she is not my biological cousin, I still care about her like one.

Suddenly she remembered that she had said she would invite cousin Lin Yu to see a movie, but something happened and she delayed it. Now that the child is born, she has to find time to take Lin Yu to see a movie.

Lin Yu whispered, "He's finally back now. You have to let him work more and look after the child more. Let him know how hard it's been for you!"

I have to cultivate more feelings with my children. Otherwise, if I don’t come back for a year or two, what will I do if the children run around and don’t recognize me when I come back?

Zhuo Jia smiled: "Don't worry, I know."

As for Comrade Qiao Anchuan changing and washing diapers for the child, she'd better not say more!

After talking for a while, Zhuo Jia was ready to leave, but before leaving, Lin Yu stopped her again.

Lin Yu stopped her and asked, "Oh, I forgot to ask you, now that Qiao Anchuan is back and Bao Bao has nothing to do and is back home, shouldn't you prepare a wedding cake for the two children?"

She had wanted to ask this question before, but because Baobao was in poor health, the doctor had not allowed her to be discharged from the hospital, so it was delayed until now. Now the baby has been born for more than a month, and there is still no movement. Should she still hold the wedding ceremony?

Zhuo Jia thought for a moment and said, "We really forgot about this. Let me discuss it with Qiao Anchuan."

I originally wanted to just say no, but she stayed in the hospital for another month after giving birth, which troubled a lot of friends during this time, so it’s not impossible to treat everyone to a meal under the pretext of holding a wedding noodle, but I have to discuss it with Qiao Anchuan.

Lin Yu nodded: "Okay, let me know when you've made your decision."

Ahem, if she does that, she has to ask this host if she is allowed to order food!

After a few more words, Zhuo Jia finally left. Because the child was still young, she couldn't bring the child to take pictures, but it didn't affect the two of them taking pictures...

The two of them played happily outside for the whole day, and when they returned home, it was already five o'clock in the afternoon.

Liu Hongying, who was watching the two children at home, rushed out immediately when she heard the noise of the bicycle. When she saw the two of them, she didn't even bother to say a word. She dragged Zhuo Jia into the house, saying as she ran, "Hurry up, hurry up. Baobao missed you so much that he's tired of crying."

She herself gave birth to three children, and the eldest daughter's family also had three, but all of them were not as good as the two from the second daughter's family. No, it was Baobao who was the hardest to serve!

Zhuo Jia: "..."

After she picked up Bao Bao, whose eyes were red from crying, she looked at her mother-in-law again. Well, it was really different from when she let the two of them go out to play!

Xiaopeng was helping take care of Xiaopeng in the house. Seeing Zhuo Jia, he was also relieved: "Second Aunt, you are finally back. Bao Bao's sister can cry a lot."

Now he finally understood why his mother didn't chase him and beat him. It turned out that she discovered his good side from her sister Baobao.

Although Zhuo Jia also agreed with Xiao Peng's words, she still coughed and said, looking at Bao Bao who was aggrieved in her arms, "Bao Bao is still young. She has a lot of things she wants to say to you as her brother, but she can't say them, so she can only express them by crying. The longer she cries, the more she wants to say to you!"

Although she didn't want to coax Xiaopeng like this, every time Baobao looked at her with tears in his eyes, she couldn't help but say something that went against her conscience.

Xiaopeng, who wasn't very bright to begin with, brightened up when he heard this. He looked up at Baobao and said, "So Baobao likes me so much! From now on, if Baobao cries again, I won't be bothered!"

He also likes little sister Baobao, she is so small and cute!

Zhuo Jia said casually: "..."

She looked at her mother-in-law with a sullen face feeling a little guilty. Ahem, she knew Xiaopeng was not very smart, but she didn't expect him to be so easy to fool. No, so easy to coax!

Liu Hongying said with a dark face: "Xiaopeng, your elder brother and your elder sister are about to come back from school, aren't you going to pick them up?"

Fortunately, this is my grandson. If my son is so stupid...

She'll be so pissed off!
