1980
"Mom, mom, look, this is the little monkey my godfather bought for me. Isn't it cute?"
Tangtang ran back from outside with a cute little monkey in her hand.
"Cute, so beautiful, your godfather has really good taste."
After Xu Ning finished speaking, he felt something flash through his mind, but he couldn't remember it.
But she didn't care. The New Year was coming soon and there were still many things not bought at home. This year, the Xu and Lu families would still celebrate the New Year together.
Song Mingyuan, Mingyu, Xiaoan, Xiaomo, and Bae Yongjun went to Guangdong Province during the holiday and may not come back until after the New Year.
Both Xu's mother and Lu's mother didn't want Xiao Mo and Bae Yong Joon to go with them. You are so young, why do you keep running south with them during the New Year?
But their oldest son Xiao Mo disagreed, saying that he wanted to go there to broaden his horizons. He also said that reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles, and he would learn a lot.
Neither of them could persuade him, so they just let them do what they wanted.
Mother Lu told Song Mingyuan to take good care of the two children and not let them get lost.
Xiao Mo looked at her helplessly and said, "I'm already a teenager, but I'm almost as tall as you. Even if I get lost, I can come back by myself.
Besides, how could those kidnappers kidnap someone as old as me? Are you going to take it back and have a free meal? ”
Mother Lu took a look at him and was surprised to find that he was so tall.
She always thought of him as Little Mo from the cowshed, but she didn't realize that the child had grown up.
She felt a little lost, as Xiao Mo was no longer the child who used to joke with them.
Song Mingyuan looked at the expressions of the mother and daughter and said with a smile, "Don't worry, Mom. I will take good care of Xiao Mo and watch over him so that he doesn't leave my sight."
Mother Lu was very satisfied after hearing this. This son-in-law was very trustworthy in doing things, and with Xiao An and Ming Yu following them, she felt relieved too.
Niu Niu and Pippi don't sleep with their mother. They sleep in the next room, their aunt's room.
Tangtang went to sleep with her grandparents, holding her little pillow.
After taking a shower, Xu Ning lay on the bed. Without the noisy children around him, he felt so quiet.
She took a book from the desk and flipped through it. A stamp fell out of it. When she bent down to pick it up, she suddenly remembered what had flashed through her mind in the afternoon.
Oh my God, how could she have forgotten about this? The monkey stamps from 1980 have been sold at sky-high prices!
How can I miss this opportunity? She tossed and turned in bed, too excited to fall asleep, and prepared to go to the post office to buy monkey stamps the next morning.
Maybe I was too excited at night and didn’t fall asleep until midnight. When I woke up the next morning, it was already past nine o’clock.
There was no one at home, and she didn't even have time to eat breakfast. She just washed up and rode her bike to the post office.
But I went to several nearby post offices and didn’t see any monkey stamps. Could it be that they haven’t been issued yet?
She didn't know exactly when the Monkey Stamp was issued, she only knew it was in 1980. However, it was not the Chinese New Year yet, so she planned to come back and take a look in a couple of days.
As soon as she arrived at the door on her bike, Niu Niu and Pi Pi stood there staring at her like two door gods.
She glanced at the two of them, ignored them, and pushed her bicycle past them. "You little bastard, you have no respect for your elders. You actually dared to glare at me. Let's see what you can do."
The two brothers were angry when they saw their mother ignored them. Niu Niu asked, "Where have you been?
You went out without telling us and you didn't even eat the breakfast I left for you. You are so disobedient. Wait until dad comes back and let him beat you. ”
Pipi also said: "Tell us, did you sneak out to play? Or did you go out to drink soy milk? Don't lie, we can all see if you are lying."
Xu Ning was so angry at the two boys that she laughed. She put her bicycle away and asked back, "Why? I can't go out and play by myself? I can't drink soy milk?"
Look how capable you two are, you are actually meddling in my affairs. Come on, let me see if your butt is itchy. ”
Seeing that their mother was angry, the two brothers immediately gave in and hurried over to hold her hands.
Niu patted her hand and said flatteringly, "Mom, look at what you said, how dare we two brothers control you?
We were concerned about you. Seeing you go out so early and not eating the breakfast your grandma left for you, we were afraid you would be hungry. How sad we would be. ”
Pipi quickly agreed, "That's right, Mom. We two brothers love you so much. We're worried that you won't have enough to eat or enough clothes to wear. Look how cold it is! You've been out for so long. Did you have a bowl of bean juice to warm yourself up?"
Xu Ning suppressed his laughter and said, "That's about right. Don't worry, I've already had breakfast outside. I not only drank soy milk, but also had egg-filled pancakes and fried dough sticks.
It tastes so good! I drank two bowls of soy milk, ate two fried dough sticks, and two egg-filled pancakes in a row.
On the way back, I saw an old man selling sesame balls, so I bought two more to eat. Now my stomach is still full. ”
After hearing what happened, Niu Niu and Pi Pi were drooling.
After Xu Ning finished speaking, he looked at the two of them with a smile and went back to the house.
The two brothers pouted and looked at her back with resentment, thinking, Mom is so mean. She eats delicious food outside and doesn’t even think of bringing some back for her children.
