() When Lu Yang returned to his grandfather’s house, he was originally worried that he would be scolded for a while.
Unexpectedly, Zhu Xuezhi, who was forced to stay awake, just glared at him with an angry look, said to Wei Zhixiu, and went to wash up first.
Lu Yang then remembered that he used to play wildly at his grandfather's house before returning home very late.
I think Grandpa Nainai was in a very bad mood at that time...
Feeling guilty, Lu Yang hurried to the kitchen and helped Zhu Xuezhi get a towel and squeeze out toothpaste to show his attentiveness.
Of course, Liao Li couldn't talk about it, so Lu Yang had to say that he couldn't hold it in and spilled some urine on his pants. He didn't dare to come back immediately. He could only wait for a long time, found a water pipe, washed it, and dried it in the sun.
Just came back.
Zhu Xuezhi didn't know whether to laugh or cry after hearing this unreasonable explanation. She was so neat and tidy, so she quickly rushed Lu Yang to take a bath and change clothes.
The next morning, Lu Yang and Wei Zhixiu went to Lu Jiangping's place. She had asked a neighbor in the same building, a mathematics teacher from the High School Affiliated to the Academy of Fine Arts, to come and give them tutoring lessons.
Zhu Xuezhi accompanied Lu Chongrui for a check-up, and indeed some early symptoms of cerebral arteriosclerosis were found. There is no good treatment for this chronic disease. Although some medicines were prescribed, he still mainly needed to take care of himself.
Lu Yang asked his grandfather to go for a check-up, just as an excuse to get him to quit smoking, drink less, and control his bad eating habits.
Because of Lu Yang's perseverance and persistence, Lu Chongrui had no choice but to surrender completely. He reluctantly agreed to quit smoking. He also rationed his alcohol intake and ate a much lighter diet. In particular, his favorite sweets were strictly limited in time and quantity.
Just like this, they studied science in the morning, liberal arts in the afternoon, and went for a walk with the two old people in the evening. Lu Yang and Wei Zhixiu spent three days of ordinary and fulfilling days.
On Saturday, after Lu Yang and Wei Zhixiu got up and had breakfast, they left and planned to go back to the family area of the main factory in Yudeng Town.
This matter has been mentioned a long time ago, so Zhu Xuezhi and Lu Chongrui naturally have no objections.
Originally, the two old men hinted that they wanted to follow them last night, but Lu Yang planned to sell books and stamps on the weekend, and it was too inconvenient to bring the two old men with him, so he politely declined.
There are two reasons. Firstly, Lu Jiangan is still in the old factory and there is no one there when he goes to the family area. Secondly, the place where he lives now is inconvenient. Although he can come back the same day, it is not suitable for the elderly's health to rush there.
Lu Chongrui didn't want to watch Lu Yang leave, so he finished eating early and went to his studio first.
"It's really inconvenient that we don't have a phone. Yangyang and Xiuya, please be careful on the road."
Zhu Xuezhi gave an order, and both Lu Yang and Wei Zhixiu agreed obediently. She put down the bowls and chopsticks and entered the big bedroom.
"Show girl!"
After Zhu Xuezhi came out of the big bedroom, she held an envelope in her hand. She smiled at Wei Zhixiu and said, "Take the money and bring it to Lu Yang's mother. Let her choose a house and install the phone as soon as possible."
"ah?"
Wei Zhixiu was startled and looked at Lu Yang hesitantly. Seeing him nodding, he gently reached out and took it.
"Girl Xiu, how much older are you than Lu Yang?" Zhu Xuezhi saw this scene and couldn't help but joked: "It's not good to keep looking at this kid's eyes. She should look like an older sister, don't always look like Yang Yang's little wife."
"Puch!"
Lu Yang spit out half a mouthful of porridge and made a mess on the table in front of him. He didn't take it seriously. He just smiled and stared at Wei Zhixiu, whose face suddenly turned red.
"You brat, you are so dirty!"
Zhu Xuezhi was so tidy, she frowned and went to the kitchen to get a rag.
"Little wife," Lu Yang looked at Wei Zhixiu who didn't speak and didn't dare to look at her, and said with a smile: "Smile for me!"
"..."
Wei Zhixiu was used to Lu Yang's teasing. She raised her head and glared at Lu Yang, and then she couldn't help but smile.
It’s true, I am often used to making decisions in a hurry, but this is not possible!
Wei Zhixiu secretly warned himself in his heart that he should think more and make more decisions in the future.
"Sister," Lu Yang was stunned when he saw Wei Zhixiu's coquettish appearance, and said stupidly: "You are so beautiful..."
"What crazy talk are you talking about!"
Wei Zhixiu glared at Lu Yang fiercely and flicked his forehead with her finger.
"Yes, this child needs a good education!"
Zhu Xuezhi came over with a rag and agreed with this scene, smiling and nodding.
After eating, Lu Yang took Wei Zhixiu and Zhu Xuezhi to say goodbye and went out, but instead of taking a car directly to the central street, he planned to go to the Shangmingsi Postal Market.
In fact, Shangming Temple is also in the central area. If the main street of the central area is at Longzui on the Chongshan Peninsula, then Shangming Temple is equivalent to Longjiao. The two places are only ten minutes away by car. The bus from Daliangshan District is also the same.
road.
Lu Yang took Wei Zhixiu out of the car and walked towards the Shangmingsi Postal Market.
This is the residence of the Chongshan Municipal Government, so there are many idle people who don't have to work hard. Today is the weekend again. Although it is still nine o'clock in the morning, it is extremely busy with people coming and going.
Different from the commercial atmosphere of the second-hand market on the main street in the central district, the Shangmingsi Post Market has a more academic atmosphere. Although there are many second-hand shops along the street, most of them are decorated in an antique style.
Not only are there local stalls here, but there are also many people walking around with stamp books or old books in hand.
Wei Zhixiu suddenly became excited when she saw so many people. At an intersection, she grabbed Lu Yang and said, "Give me the stamps and I'll sell them!"
Lu Yang had said in the morning that he was going to sell stamps. Wei Zhixiu had made so much money selling books last time, so he was looking forward to it on the bus.
Lu Yang turned around, but looked at her with both laughter and tears, and shook his head helplessly.
Wei Zhixiu followed Lu Yang's gaze and looked down at her expensive dress. She immediately understood that her current image was not suitable for hawking everywhere, and she smiled sheepishly.
Since many cultural institutions in the city are nearby, the people who come and go here are obviously of a higher standard. Most of them are well-dressed, and many of them wear glasses, and they look a bit elegant.
Most collectors come here to exchange their collecting experiences, and not necessarily to buy anything, so the atmosphere of communication in the Shangming Temple Post Market is particularly strong. There are a group of people talking loudly around, and there are also three or five people standing around talking in whispers.
of.
However, there are naturally specialized dealers wandering around, looking for opportunities to buy low and sell high.
Looking for stamps in garbage dumps is similar to ancient books. It's completely a matter of luck.
Lu Yang's luck was obviously not too bad. In addition to finding stamps that many people had carried with them from some old books, Liu Qiuhua also found many completely unused stamps from many discarded envelopes, and she actually found them.
Two very professional-looking stamp albums.
The stamps inside were naturally very cheap, and he was carrying one of these volumes in his schoolbag.
Lu Yang didn't pay much attention to stamp collecting before and didn't know much about it, so he ordered Liu Qiuhua to sort the stamps by year. In addition to the original ones, this stamp album also had many spare pockets, which he stuffed a lot of
stamp.
After dragging Wei Zhixiu around for a while, Lu Yang sold some brand-new stamps from the 1990s onwards to some junior postal friends who were obviously similar to him at a higher price than the original price, and earned dozens of yuan.
Most of these people collect things for fun and have limited purchasing power, so they dare not pay attention to the slightly more expensive old stamps.
Then Lu Yang took Wei Zhixiu around. He didn't understand stamps, but after walking around, he roughly wrote down the prices of stamps from various eras, and he had an idea of how much the stamps he brought could be sold for.
Lu Yang pulled Wei Zhixiu out of the crowd and took out the address and phone number given by Mr. Yu. He planned to go directly and have a look. If the price was within the expected range, it would be sold out.
After asking someone, Lu Yang came to the shop of his old friend Yu. This man's surname was Wang. He specialized in making stamps and relied on this to make a living.
Of course, it is impossible to get a good price here, but Lu Yang is not greedy, as long as the price is about the same.
The stamp industry is too deep, and Lu Yang doesn't have the energy or time to soak in it.
Lao Wang is in his fifties, wearing a gray cloth jacket and smiling like an old naughty boy.
Yu Lao had called him a long time ago, so Lu Yang and Wei Zhixiu explained their intentions, and he immediately pulled them to sit at the counter.
Lu Yang took out the stamp album from his schoolbag, and Lao Wang took it with a smile. At first, he looked through it without taking it seriously.
Because the stamps in the first third of this album don't have many rare items, it's obvious that he is an ordinary stamp collector, and based on these calculations, it only costs one or two hundred yuan.
But when Lao Wang started to look through the last two-thirds, his smile suddenly faded a lot, and then he became more and more surprised. Sometimes he saw some stamps that he rarely saw, and he even went to look through his small notebook, and he was surprised from time to time.
Make a sound.
"Hey, there were only three T82 West Chamber coins issued in 1983, but it was rare. At that time, less than three million were issued nationwide."
"Yeah! The 30th anniversary of the liberation of Albania in 1974. This one is also rare. It's a pity that there is only one!"
…
"kid……"
After two hours, Lao Wang finally finished reading. With a wry smile on his face, he wiped his sweat and said, "How did you collect these stamps? It's so messy?"
Yu Mingyang called Lao Wang at that time. He didn't explain clearly. He just said that a kid he knew wanted to sell some stamps and asked him to help him take a look.
Lao Wang has been collecting stamps for almost 30 years. He has never seen such a good stamp collector, but he can get so many special items.
The level of stamps in this stamp album varies greatly. The first one-third is normal. Although it is low, it is at least carefully collected. However, the last two-thirds are strange. They are all stamps from the 1970s and 1980s.
, but among them there are goods worth only one yuan, and there are also treasures that can be sold for hundreds of dollars.
Of course, there are no rare stamps from the Qing Dynasty, but even so, you can get so many off-the-shelf items, even if they are basically not complete sets, they should not be at the level of ordinary enthusiasts.
"Haha, Mr. Wang," Lu Yang just laughed. Naturally, he would not explain that he picked it up from the garbage heap when he met someone. He just asked politely: "You can estimate the price and I will sell it to you if it suits you."
Lao Wang shook his head, waved his hand and said, "I really can't say that!"
