"As long as this matter is resolved, we don't need to worry about other things, and we can't control them. It's getting late, let's eat quickly, we have to go to work in the afternoon." Jianshu saw that the atmosphere was not very good, so he quickly changed the subject.
"Okay, let's eat quickly. If we finish eating early, we can rest for a while. Otherwise, we won't have the energy to work in the afternoon." Li Li immediately picked up the chopsticks and started eating.
She didn't want to mention that matter anymore. It was enough for her to know what happened to the three people. The rest was not their business.
After dinner, Jianshu separated from Li Li and Pan Ning, and she prepared to go to the post office.
She was still thinking about her stamp "The Whole Country is Red".
When she was reading novels in her previous life, she was very curious about these stamps that often appeared in various period texts and were the must-buy stamps by the protagonists.
I specifically looked up some relevant information about it and I remember it was released on November 25, 1968.
Originally, Jianshu planned to buy it on the hairstyle day, but just now she suddenly remembered something.
This stamp was discontinued because the map on it was inaccurate.
But she had no idea when the release would stop. Would it be too late to go there on that day? Had they already been recalled and destroyed?
Thinking of this, Jianshu quickened her pace. She had overlooked one thing before. The stamps were issued on the 25th, but the post office would definitely not receive the stamps on that day. The stamps might have arrived at the post office a long time ago. She had to go and check.
When Jianshu stepped into the post office, he found that there was no one else inside, only Gao Xue sitting behind the counter knitting a sweater.
As if sensing someone coming in, Gao Xue raised her head and saw Jian Shu.
"Shushu is here? Come here quickly, you haven't been here for a while." Gao Xue said in surprise.
Before, Jianshu would come once every three to five days, but this time he hasn’t come for almost ten days.
"I've been busy these days and haven't been here. It just so happened that I had some time at noon today, so I thought of coming over to see you." In fact, it was because the weather was a bit cold recently, and she was lazy and didn't want to walk such a long way.
She originally planned to come over on the 25th and bring back all the stamps she had accumulated during this period.
"Oh, so it happens that a lot of stamps have arrived recently. Come and take a look." Gao Xue nodded to show her understanding, and then took out a pile of stamps to show Jianshu.
"Oh, there are quite a lot of stamps this time." I just don't know if the "The Whole Country is Red" stamp is among them.
"It's been a long time since you came this time, so there are more stamps than before," Gao Xue explained.
I searched Jianshu but didn't find "The Whole Country is Red". Could it be that it hasn't arrived at the post office yet?
That shouldn't be the case. Wasn't it supposed to be released the day after tomorrow? Could it have been rejected?
Jian Shu asked with some reluctance, "Apart from these, are there any other options?"
"All the new arrivals during this period are here. These are what I reserved for you in advance." Gao Xue replied.
"I want all of these. Sister Gao, please take out the rest and show them to me. I like some of the stamps very much and want to buy some more." Jian Shu refused to give up until he checked all the stamps.
If she wasn't afraid of arousing Gao Xue's suspicion, she would have wanted to ask directly whether the whole country had turned red. However, the stamps hadn't been officially issued yet, so she couldn't ask.
"Okay, I'll get them all for you. See which one you want, but some stamps are sold out."
After saying that, Gao Xue went to where the stamps were kept and started looking for them. The stamps she had taken out before were the ones she had left for Jian Shu in advance.
After a while, Gao Xue came over with another pile of stamps.
I searched through Jianshu and finally found "The Whole Country is Red".
The moment she saw it, her heart finally settled down. She finally found it.
Pretending to flip it over casually, he asked in confusion, "Huh? I don't think I've seen this stamp before. I haven't collected it before, right?"
Gao Xue took the stamp from Jian Shu's hand, glanced at it, and explained, "This stamp was originally scheduled to be officially issued the day after tomorrow, but I just received a notice saying that there was an error on it and it cannot be issued. It has to be returned, so I didn't leave it for you."
"This looks beautiful, bright red, and looks festive. Can I keep some? You know I won't use it, I'm just keeping it."
Jianshu took the stamp in his hand and looked at it over and over again, pretending to like it very much.
Of course, she wasn't completely pretending. After all, these stamps represented money, and she loved them!
Gao Xue thought for a moment and said, "That's fine. Anyway, these stamps arrived a few days ago, and some were sold in advance. I can sell some to you."
"Thank you, Sister Gao. How many sets of this can I buy? I really like this color and want to keep some."
"These stamps have to be returned this afternoon, so I'll just give you two sets. I can't give you too many, or it would be hard to explain."
"Thank you so much, Sister Gao. Two sets are enough." Jian Shu didn't want to order more, but it would be bad to push for more.
"It's okay. Didn't you just say that you wanted more of some stamps? See if there are any others that you want." Gao Xue asked again.
Jianshu picked out some good-looking stamps from the ones she took out. After all, she was the one who said it, and she didn't want people to think that she came here to make the whole country red.
"I want all of these. Sister Gao, can you tell me how much they cost?"
"All of this costs you five dollars in total." Gao Xue calculated the total price.
Jianshu took out the money and handed it to Gao Xue, then took the stamps from Gao Xue and put them in her bag.
"Sister Gao, it's getting late. I have to go back to work, so I'll leave first." Jian Shu said goodbye to Gao Xue while pretending to take out two White Rabbit snacks from his bag and handed them to Gao Xue.
