Chapter 114
Ye Fuyue's eyes suddenly widened.
Is this the "The Whole Country is Red" stamp? Is this also the "Tiananmen Square Shines" stamp?
You should know that in later times, a four-piece set of stamps with the theme "The Whole Country is Red" could fetch millions of yuan. The "Tiananmen Shining" stamp is even rarer. Only a few hundred were issued, and the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications recalled them and redesigned and reissued them. Even a single "Tiananmen Shining" stamp can fetch over a million yuan in later times.
She had always been thinking about how to make money to buy and hoard houses, but she forgot that there was an investment that was more affordable than buying a house. After all, the price of a stamp is much cheaper than a house.
"Hello, comrade, please give me twenty of these stamps and five of these stamps." Ye Fuyue said to the staff, pointing to the stamps with "The Whole Country is Red" and "Tiananmen Square is Shining" respectively.
"What do you need so much for?" The staff looked at her strangely.
"Buy it and use it! So you don't have to buy it every time." Ye Fuyue said righteously.
Shen Yao had just finished mailing a package and came over. Hearing the conversation between Ye Fuyue and the staff, he asked Ye Fuyue: "Do you want to buy stamps?"
"Yeah." Ye Fuyue nodded.
Shen Yao said nothing and looked at the staff.
"This is the only stamp with Tiananmen Square shining brightly," said the staff member.
Ye Fuyue thought: It's no wonder that only a few hundred stamps were issued. Fortunately, she was lucky enough to grab the last one.
"Then I want twenty of these and one of this." Ye Fuyue said.
The staff member said nothing more and went to get stamps for her.
Ye Fuyue was very careful as she left the post office with the brand new stamps.
"Who are you going to write to?" Shen Yao asked.
"I don't write to anyone."
"Then why did you buy so many stamps?"
"I think these stamps are beautiful and I want to collect them in case their value increases in the future."
Shen Yao smiled: "So you also like stamp collecting!"
"I don't like stamp collecting. I only like these two types of stamps." Ye Fuyue corrected.
Chen Yao didn't understand why Ye Fuyue had such a special liking for these two stamps, but he didn't say anything and let her go.
"When I get home, I have to find something to keep these stamps." The rest of their lives and their descendants depend on these stamps!
Shen Yao nodded without objection: "Okay."
When Chen Yao and Ye Fuyue returned to the compound, they happened to meet Fang Ping who had returned from spending the New Year away.
Chen Yao and Fang Ping nodded, greeting each other.
Fang Ping, carrying bags and bags, walked towards Aunt Liu's house, looking around as he walked.
Seeing Cui Yongfang, Fang Ping took the initiative to greet her: "Sister Cui, are you preparing vegetables outside?"
Cui Yongfang hadn't noticed Fang Ping at first, but when she saw Fang Ping take the initiative to greet her, she was stunned.
"Yeah!" Cui Yongfang reacted and smiled, "You're back after the New Year!"
"Yes."
"You brought a lot of stuff!" Cui Yongfang looked at the bags in Fang Ping's hands.
"These are what my parents asked me to bring to Aunt Liu and Uncle Liu. They said Aunt Liu and Uncle Liu took great care of me."
Cui Yongfang smiled meaningfully: "Your parents are really thoughtful."
Fang Ping continued walking forward, and after passing Cui Yongfang, the smile on his face faded.
Aunt Liu and Uncle Liu are both at home.
Seeing Fang Ping return, the two elders remained seated in their chairs, not moving. They only raised their eyes and said, "You're back."
"Yeah." Fang Ping said, "I saw Cui Yongfang in the yard and chatted with her for a while. I told her that my parents asked me to bring these things to you."
When they heard Cui Yongfang's name, the two elders became more energetic.
"You said that, but Cui Yongfang didn't say anything, right?" asked Aunt Liu.
"Nothing."
"What did you bring?" asked Uncle Liu.
"Some specialties from my hometown." Fang Ping opened the package and let the two elders take a look.
The package contained some dried fruits and dry goods.
"According to what we agreed on before, how much do these things cost? You calculate the total price and we will buy them from you." Uncle Liu said.
Ever since Cui Yongfang came to borrow soy sauce last time, Aunt Liu and Uncle Liu had a good chat with Fang Ping.
The two elders were very satisfied with this tenant, and Fang Ping was also very satisfied with renting here. The two elders were not too nosy and the place was close to his workplace.
The two elders asked Fang Ping to dine with them two or three times a week, and Fang Ping would pay a modest fee for the meal. They also asked Fang Ping to greet some of the nosy aunts in the compound, especially Cui Yongfang, to dispel their suspicions. The two elders also asked Fang Ping to sit with them in the courtyard when he had nothing to do, chatting and letting everyone in the compound see.
Fang Ping did all of these.
This time I brought back some local specialties, and it was also Uncle Liu’s request.
Uncle Liu also said that it would be even better if Cui Yongfang could see Fang Ping when he came back.
That's why Fang Ping specifically searched for Cui Yongfang in the compound...
Here, after Cui Yongfang finished preparing the dishes and went into the house, she told Aunt Liang about Fang Ping's initiative to talk to her just now.
"He also brought a lot of things for Aunt Liu and Uncle Liu, saying that his parents asked him to bring them to Aunt Liu and Uncle Liu." Cui Yongfang said.
Aunt Liang said, "Fang Ping has certainly been talking more with the people in the compound lately. Once, I was chatting with a few of the aunts in the compound, and he even took the initiative to greet us. I've also seen him sitting in the courtyard with Aunt Liu and Uncle Liu several times, chatting and basking in the sun."
Cui Yongfang seemed to be lost in thought: "Mom, don't you think Fang Ping's change is very deliberate?"
"Deliberately?"
"You see, Fang Ping wasn't like this before. He wouldn't even talk to anyone in our compound, let alone chat with Aunt Liu and Uncle Liu while they basked in the sun. But ever since I went to Aunt Liu's house to borrow some soy sauce, Fang Ping has become like this."
"You mean Fang Ping is afraid that we will suspect him, so he became like this?"
Cui Yongfang nodded. "I was quite surprised when Fang Ping took the initiative to greet me just now. He's never spoken to me before. Why did he suddenly go out of his way to talk to me?"
Aunt Liang pondered Cui Yongfang's words, and the two of them looked at each other...
…
Over here, Aunt Liang and Cui Yongfang were plotting something, while over there, Aunt Xie was telling everyone that Yao Yi was pregnant.
"My Yiyi is pregnant after being married for less than half a year. The Lei family is so lucky to have her. She has given birth to many children so soon."
Aunt Xie saw Chen Guifeng coming on a bicycle and was about to show off in front of Chen Guifeng, but as soon as she called out "Chen...", Chen Guifeng rode her bicycle past her like the wind without paying any attention to her.
