After leaving the hospital, Liu Meiyu went to the post office first.
In the morning, her father handed her a note containing all the allowances that the original owner had sent home over the years. When she opened it, she found that there was more than 400 yuan.
The original owner joined the art troupe to dance at the age of 11. Her allowance was not high in the early years, and it has only increased a bit in the past two years, but over time, she has saved a huge sum of money.
After seeing this memorial, Liu Meiyu felt an indescribable feeling in her heart.
It is obvious that having money can improve life, but the whole family is forced to suffer together. Liu Meiyun doesn't know what to say.
She decisively took out two hundred yuan and put it on her. When she was about to leave, she saw someone at the counter putting stamps on a letter. The row of bright red words on the stamp made Liu Meiyu's head buzz, and she instantly remembered something.
When she was doing business in later life, she heard people talking about the stamp with the words "The Whole Country is Red" issued at the end of November 1969, which was last month. However, it was stopped shortly after it was issued because the map on the stamp was inaccurate.
Although the recall was requested, some places had already sold them in advance, so a small number of stamps still leaked out. It was this small number that was sold at a later auction. A set of four "The Whole Country is Red" stamps was valued at nearly one million.
"Comrade, I want to buy stamps."
Liu Meiyu walked over quickly, her voice sounding somewhat anxious.
"Eight cents a piece." The staff member didn't even bother to raise her eyes and directly opened the drawer, casually pulled out a sheet of bright red stamps from it. Just as she was about to tear them open, a loud voice came from the counter, which scared her.
"Don't tear it, I want them all!"
Liu Meiyu felt that her voice was trembling. Her eyes were fixed on the complete set of four stamps in the person's hand, and her heart beat faster.
One million!
Although she could have earned this much money by signing a few orders through her own hard work in her previous life, this was free money! The excitement in her heart was completely incomparable to the money earned through hard work.
Liu Meiyu felt that only people who won the lottery could understand her feelings at this moment.
"Why are you yelling? You're scaring me to death." The staff member looked impatient and slammed the stamp on the counter, saying impatiently, "32 cents."
Liu Meiyu paid the money, bought an envelope, put the stamp in it and put it in her pocket, not caring at all about the staff's attitude.
When it comes to money, many things can be ignored.
Liu Meiyu was in such a good mood with a huge sum of one million yuan in her pocket.
As soon as I left the post office, I saw my younger brother Liu Bowen being held by Lu Changzheng. He looked at me with his round eyes, pouting his little mouth, and calling me "sister" in a baby voice. He was so adorable.
She walked over, held his round head in her hands, kissed him hard on the forehead, and said happily: "Come on, I'll buy you a cotton coat!"
The boy's face turned red, and after being kissed, he looked aggrieved and wanted Liu Meiyu to hug him.
Lu Changzheng was furious and slapped him on the butt to express his dissatisfaction: "I held you for a long time without saying a word, but as soon as your sister came out, you turned your face and ignored me. I have never seen such an ungrateful person like you!"
The brother-in-law refused to listen to any persuasion. Until now, he has never called him brother-in-law, let alone brother. Lu Changzheng is really helpless.
"Let me hold him, you go ride your bike." Liu Meiyu took Liu Bowen from Lu Changzheng with a smile, and the grievance on the little guy's face disappeared.
Lu Changzheng was furious when he saw this. It seemed that he had to put on a smile and work hard, but his brother-in-law still felt wronged.
Shanghai is a big city after all, and the supply of the supply and marketing cooperative is much more complete than other places. Liu Meiyun has enough money, but cloth coupons are very scarce. If it weren't for the "rich man" Lu Changzheng, the original owner would have saved up cloth coupons before, not to mention buying a cotton coat for Liu Bowen, even if she just bought cloth to make it herself, it would be difficult enough.
"Meiyun, don't worry, I will collect more cloth coupons for you later."
Lu Changzheng had to leave in a hurry this time, and the most important things he carried with him were food coupons. The milk powder and biscuits he bought in the morning were the tickets his aunt had prepared for him before he left. If he had known that Liu Meiyu was most in need of cloth coupons, he should have asked his comrades to exchange more for them before leaving.
"Okay," Liu Meiyu nodded with a smile, her voice clear, "Then I'll make clothes for you from now on."
After spending other people's money and tickets, Liu Meiyu started drawing cakes for them again.
She didn't know how to sew, but she could learn with her mouth and hands. Even if she didn't make clothes for Lu Changzheng, she would wear them herself. Anyway, she didn't have to work 996 and stay up late, so she had plenty of time. Liu Meiyun didn't mind learning another skill.
How could Lu Changzheng not be happy when his sweetheart made clothes for him? He felt so sweet inside when he took a bite of the big pie.
Coming out of the supply and marketing cooperative, Lu Changzheng rode the tricycle while Liu Meiyu held Liu Bowen in his arms and sat in the back. When they passed through an alley, they saw several people wearing clothes with black cloth patches running out of the alley in panic. After a moment's thought, Liu Meiyu knew what these people were doing.
Even though speculation is strictly enforced in this era, it still cannot stop some people from being desperate and trying to make a living by taking risks.
Liu Meiyun currently has the original owner's passbook, so she is not short of money, but she is short of tickets, all kinds of tickets. If she uses the money to buy tickets from the ticket seller, and then trades them back and forth, the little money she has is enough for a short time, but it will definitely be tight for a long time.
Of course, Lu Changzheng's salary could support her. He was a battalion commander, and his allowance should be at least several dozen yuan a month.
But Liu Meiyun had to support herself since she was a child in her previous life. She couldn't rely on others. Moreover, she still had the original owner's family to take care of. If she relied on Lu Changzheng's salary to support her, she would really become a vampire. After a long time, not to mention whether Lu Changzheng would complain, she would look down on herself.
She had to save money and notes, and she had to save some before joining the army. Lu Changzheng's new post was on a deserted island, which was inconvenient no matter how you looked at it. She had to prepare everything she needed in Shanghai.
However, at this moment, Lu Changzheng was still around, and she had just arrived in Shanghai, so she was not familiar with the route yet. She had to wait until Lu Changzheng returned to Beijing before she could go out and inquire.
After walking out of the alley for a few minutes, the street was noisy. Liu Bowen, sitting in the tricycle, felt a little uncomfortable. He hugged Liu Meiyu tightly, his little face wrinkled.
Maybe it's because he hasn't been out for a while. Liu Meiyu feels that this child is so timid that he doesn't even dare to look strangers in the eye.
But when educating children, we must always take a step-by-step approach and pay attention to methods.
"Bowen behaved very well today, so have a candy as a reward." Liu Meiyu opened the candy she had just bought from the supply and marketing cooperative, peeled off the candy wrapper, and stuffed a candy into the boy's mouth.
The sweet fruit candy melted in his mouth, and the boy's eyes lit up instantly. He looked at Liu Meiyu with a smile, his eyes full of dependence.
Liu Bowen looks about 70% similar to Liu Meiyun, especially their eyes, which are both long and bright, with long and curly eyelashes. When the two of them are together, no one would doubt their blood relationship.
Lu Changzheng was staring at the tricycle in front of him. He turned his head and saw it. He couldn't help but regret, "If I had known earlier, I should have bought an extra bag of candy this morning."
Milk powder, biscuits, meat buns, everything went into the little guy's stomach, and he still ignored people after eating.
"Eating too much will damage your teeth, but it's okay once in a while." Liu Meiyu smiled and broke his beautiful fantasy.
Although he knew that the girl he had found was the most beautiful, Lu Changzheng was still uncontrollably dazzled by the gentle smile on Liu Meiyu's face, especially when he thought of Liu Meiyu holding Liu Bowen and sitting on the tricycle he was riding, looking like a family of three, and Lu Changzheng felt a surge of heat in his heart.
"Okay, I'll listen to you from now on!"
Liu Meiyu didn't know that Lu Changzheng's mind had already drifted to the issue of having, raising and educating children after they got married.
She certainly didn't buy the candy to please Liu Bowen, but for Zhou Huiru.
Zhou Huiru occasionally felt dizzy, and Liu Meiyun guessed that it was due to insufficient nutrition and low blood sugar. This time when she went to the supply and marketing cooperative, she not only bought fine grains and white flour for her family, but also canned food, brown sugar and the like. It was just that she couldn't buy chicken at this time, otherwise she would have thought of stewing chicken soup for the old couple to nourish their bodies. Anyway, the small bungalow was next to the toilet, so she was not afraid of the smell wafting out and being reported.
After returning to school, Lu Changzheng first returned the borrowed tricycle to someone, and then he and Liu Meiyun took Liu Bowen and the bags of things they bought from the supply and marketing cooperative and walked towards the small bungalow.
When they were almost home, a group of half-grown children suddenly rushed out from the street corner, picked up lumps of mud from the ground and threw them at Liu Bowen who was being held by Liu Meiyun.
"Dog cub"
"You bastard, you're wearing new clothes! Take them off for me!"
The leader was a chubby boy, who looked to be about six or seven years old. He threw lumps of mud very hard and accurately, and commanded a group of little radish heads behind him. They stood in front of Liu Bowen, and their black claws were about to scratch Liu Bowen.
"Stop!" Liu Meiyu shouted loudly and protected Liu Bowen behind her. The little guy hugged her legs and his body was shaking violently.
She had just put on Liu Bowen a new cotton-padded jacket and had just warmed it up when now its chest was splashed with mud. Liu Meiyu was so angry that she wanted to throw these naughty kids into the mud and make pancakes out of them.
