The days went by, and the acceptance letters that everyone had been waiting for were delivered one after another.
Hua Zhian stopped everything at the factory early on and handed over the work to the old man.
His daily task was to guard the post office, and he almost went to and from get off work with Zhuo Tianhe.
Zhuo Tianhe doesn't give him a friendly look anymore. He follows him around every day, as if he's constantly reminding his family that even the weakest member of the Hua family can get into university, but what about him?
Zhuo Tianhe was constantly being treated badly at home, and now he had to see the culprit at work. He even suspected that Hua Zhian had come here specifically to take revenge.
I just chatted with my mother a few extra words before, who knew it would become so serious later?
Besides, Zhi'an didn't lose anything either. He married a beautiful woman and they both got into university. He wanted such good things to happen to him.
Hua Zhian is a typical example of someone who benefits but then acts innocent. He's always trying to get attention in front of me. Even if he's a big-hearted person, he'll still feel a little resentful.
"Don't bother loitering around here. Once the notification arrives, I'll definitely deliver it to your door as soon as possible."
Hua Zhian said, "You're not a postman, you can't stay at this post office all day, how can you leave? I'll wait here."
Don't worry, I won't make a fuss. You can call me if you need help.
As she spoke, she sat down outside the cabinet, staring blankly at the stamps on it. "By the way, do you have any new stamps here? My little sister couldn't buy any last time."
Zhuo Tianhe, "...What? You want to buy more for your sister?"
Hua Zhian said, "Just tell me if it's true or not? Stop with the nonsense. Are you trying to spread rumors again?"
"I'd say you're a bit ungrateful," Zhuo Tianhe said, knowing his temperament. "Xiangyun bought so many stamps before, and I was worried that your family might have objections later, so I told you in advance that if you changed your mind, you could come and get a refund sooner."
Everyone knows that we have to deposit funds into the public accounts every day, and once that's done, I won't be able to help anymore.
The people in our courtyard are so idle, the news spread like wildfire.
"If you don't pass it on, how will people know?" Hua Zhian said irritably. "Just tell me if there are any new stamps right now, and give me a copy of them all."
When business comes knocking, Zhuo Tianhe naturally doesn't refuse. He walks over, rummages through the cabinet, and takes out a few sheets of stamps. "Your sister probably didn't buy these."
"National Conference on Learning from Daqing in Industry", "Centennial of Romanian Independence"...
Each set contains only a few cards, ranging in value from eight to twenty cents, which together amount to less than one dollar.
Hua Zhian immediately took out his money and bought all the stamps.
Zhuo Tianhe couldn't understand why this family had become so addicted to buying stamps.
"Do you have so many letters to write? Are you like those people in the city, indulging in stamp collecting as a pretentious hobby?"
Hua Zhian stared at the stamps in his hand, lost in thought. "Look again, and give me another set of each kind."
Remember last time when his younger sister bought three sets each, and both of his older brothers got one? So this time he did the same thing. Since he was giving it to his younger sister, he couldn't leave out his older brothers.
Zhuo Tianhe: "...Are you serious, kid? Let me tell you, there's no going back on your word after today."
"Alright, enough with the nonsense, hurry up and find them all. Oh, and also, give me those other ones over there."
He used to correspond with Xie Lanqiao using stamps his younger sister had given him, and this was a good opportunity to make up for the missing ones.
Zhuo Tianhe found all the stamps and gave them to him, while also wondering why the Hua siblings were so obsessed with stamps.
But the Hua family are all smart, could it be that they mean this stamp will definitely be valuable in the future?
He quickly clutched his pocket, repeatedly telling himself that he couldn't be tempted by this guy; this was his savings for his future wife.
Years later, when he thought back to what happened today, he was filled with deep regret...
Hua Xiangyun's expression when she received the gift displeased Hua Zhian. "What? You don't like what your second brother gave you?"
Hua Xiangyun looked up at the sky speechlessly. Had she spoken? She just felt a little strange. Who had given her second brother some pointers?
"No, it's fine. I was thinking of going to the post office again in a few days, but now that my second brother has delivered it to me, it's just what I wanted."
Hua Zhian was overjoyed to have delivered the right stamp this time, and he was almost ready to pat his chest and say, "I'm glad you like it. I'll buy you more stamps when they come out in the future."
I was confident that I would pass the exam this time, thanks to my sister and brother-in-law's help in explaining the questions and the materials they provided.
If he had studied blindly like everyone else, he definitely wouldn't have achieved such results.
He wasn't an ungrateful person, but as an elder brother, he couldn't bring himself to express his gratitude verbally, so he could only show it through his actions.
“Okay,” Hua Xiangyun agreed without any hesitation. After all, the face value of these stamps was only so large, and they weren’t issued that frequently. Hua Zhian should be able to afford them.
It's unclear how long this habit will last, but Hua Xiangyun doesn't mind. After all, who doesn't like receiving gifts? She'll accept as many as she can.
Moreover, this was an elder brother's affection for his younger sister, and she accepted it without any burden. No matter what, she would not let the other party suffer a loss.
Hua Zhiping looked through the stamps in his hand, went back to his room, took out the stamp album he had previously organized, and carefully put it away in front of his younger siblings.
"Brother, so you always keep them like this." Hua Zhian used to just casually tuck the stamps into his books when he got them, he really didn't have his brother's thoughtfulness.
“This was given to you by Xiao Guai, so of course I’ll keep it safe.” Hua Zhiping closed the stamp album and took out two fountain pens from his pocket. “These are for you. I originally wanted to buy a few more, but the supply and marketing cooperative only had these two left.”
"I'll give these to my brother-in-law and sister-in-law next time I buy them."
He actually bought four sets, but Zhi'an gave him stamps, so there were only sets for himself and his sister. Now that he had taken them all out, he felt a bit embarrassed.
However, as the elder brother, he still wanted to give his younger brother a word of advice: now the family is not just the three of them; each of them has a partner, and they are family too.
Hua Zhian wasn't stupid; he could tell that his older brother's next words were directed at him. Feeling somewhat ashamed, he said, "I don't know if my sister-in-law and brother-in-law will like these stamps. I'll go and find some better things next time."
Hua Zhiping reached out and patted him on the shoulder, "You don't need to be so nervous about the post office every day. If you're not satisfied, we can take the test again next time."
That way, you'll have more time to prepare, and you might even be able to get into a better school.
Hua Zhian shook his head. "No matter which school I get into this time, I will go to study there. I feel that I have performed exceptionally well this time. I dare not gamble next time."
