The prosperous era of courtyard houses

Chapter 46 Being a Guest

Back in the courtyard, the two of them were packed with bags, which aroused the envy of everyone in the courtyard.

Li Weiguo, a bachelor with a high salary and no affordability, dared to spend such money. If he had gone to another family, his legs would have been broken long ago.

You are so incapable of living, what a sin!

The children in the courtyard swarmed around Li Weiguo's door, stretching their necks to look inside, trying to see what good things there were.

Seeing the eager expressions of the helpers, I couldn't bear to drive them away, so I gave each of them two candies and sent them home.

After sending away the gang of brats, Li Weiguo took out everything. When he went to eat at noon, he had to take out what came to the door first.

Take some of each canned meat, canned fruit, biscuits, milk powder, and candies, and then some meat will be enough. It is considered a big gift.

Then he took out another plate and picked out some of all kinds of snacks.

"Yu Yu, this plate is for you as a snack. Come and get it after you finish eating." Li Weiguo handed a plate of snacks to Yu Yu.

Taking the plate, Yu Yu was so happy that her eyes were shining: "Wow~ Thank you, Brother Wei Guo. There are so many things that I haven't eaten before. I'm so happy O(n_n)O~"

Li Weiguo smiled and said: "Silly girl, if you want to eat it, we will buy it later so that you can eat as much as you like."

Yu Yu picked up a candied fruit and put it into his mouth, squinting his eyes and looking satisfied: "One time is enough. It's so luxurious. I can eat so much for a long time."

Ten o'clock in the morning, Di'an. Men Post. Political Branch Family Home

Li Weiguo went straight to Zhou Can's house with the prepared gifts, two kilograms of pork belly and a white-striped chicken taken from the space.

Zhou Can's family is assigned a 65-square-meter apartment on the third floor.

Well, the actual usable area is 65 square meters and there are no public stalls.

The three of us played well when we were children, and Li Weiguo and Zhao Guobing often came here to play.

I walked up to the third floor on a familiar road. The first house on the left was on the left. I went over and knocked on the door.

"coming."

A slightly wealthy woman in her forties came over and opened the door. It was Zhou Can's mother.

"Weiguo is here. Come in and sit down. Zhou Can and Guobing are waiting for you in the room."

"Hello, aunt, I haven't seen you for a long time. You are getting younger and younger. This is a gift for you." Li Weiguo greeted politely and handed over what he was holding.

Zhou Can's mother slapped him angrily: "You kid, the older he is, the more he is born. Why should you bring anything with you? Auntie, I don't need anything. You are not allowed to bring anything next time. Come in and sit down."

After saying that, he took the things and took a look.

Darling, there are about two kilograms of pork belly, a white-striped chicken, a box of golden chicken biscuits, a kilogram of fruit candies and several canned fruits. This gift is quite substantial.

Zhou Can's mother was secretly surprised, but without saying anything, she quickly welcomed him into the house.

In the living room, Dad Zhou was sitting reading the newspaper.

Li Weiguo stepped forward and said, "Uncle Zhou, long time no see."

Father Zhou is in his forties, six months pregnant, slightly bald, and has a kind face.

When he saw Li Weiguo coming, he put down the newspaper and greeted him: "Weiguo is here, come and sit down. In a blink of an eye, you will join the army and come back. Time flies so fast."

"Yes, we haven't seen each other for three years, but Uncle Zhou is still as charming as ever."

"What a style, it's just like that, hahaha."

"Come, Weiguo, drink some water."

At this time, Zhou's mother brought a glass of water and handed it to Li Weiguo, and shouted to Zhou Can in the room: "Xiao Can, Weiguo is here."

Zhou Can, who heard the voice, quickly came out of his bedroom: "Weiguo, you are here. I have been waiting for you for a long time."

"Hehe. It's the weekend, so you can't sleep in."

"Yes, if it weren't for today's party, I wouldn't be able to get up, hahaha. Let's go up to my room to chat. Guobing and I are studying my collection. Mom and Dad, let's go in and play for a while." Zhou Chan smiled.

Mother Zhou nodded and said, "Okay, you young people, you can play, I will cook for you right now."

As soon as I entered Zhou Can's house.

I saw Zhao Guobing and Zhou Bo, the second eldest son of the Zhou family, studying comic strips there with great interest.

One is nineteen years old, the other is thirteen, they can be addicted to reading comic books.

Li Weiguo came in to see the two of them reading with gusto, and said speechlessly: "Hey, I thought it was a treasure, but it turns out it's a comic book. I read it every day when I was in school, and I'm not tired of it now."

Zhao Guobing: "How can you get tired of it? Feelings! Do you understand feelings?"

Zhao Guobing is right. Comic books are definitely the favorite of children in this era. One or two copies can be shown off for a long time. After all, they are not cheap, and most people are not willing to spend such money to buy them for their children.

Li Weiguo shrugged, saying that the Traveling Party did not understand their feelings.

"Yes, it's feelings. Xiaobo is here too."

"Brother Wei Guo." Zhou Bo, the second eldest son of the Zhou family, greeted with a smile.

Zhou Can and Zhou Bo shared a room with a double iron frame bed, two desks, and a large bookshelf on the wall next to the desk, filled with all kinds of books.

Zhao Guobing and Zhou Bo had a pile of comic strips placed in front of them, all collected by the Zhou Can brothers.

What are they like: Anait, Victory in All Battles, Crows Turn into White Crows, Mu Guiying’s Team of Female Generals, Qiao Remembers to Explode Tanks. There are about thirty or forty books, and none of them are the same.

Li Weiguo picked up a book, flipped through it casually, and joked, "It's quite a lot. You two brothers must have spent all their pocket money in this."

"Hehe. That's about right." Zhou Can smiled quite proudly.

Li Weiguo rolled his eyes at him and did not comment on their hobbies. He was not a local and did not understand their feelings.

At Zhou Bo's age, even the little emperor was tired of reading comic strips, let alone comic strips, and there was nothing surprising about them.

He put down the comic strip in his hand and looked at the various books on the shelf.

Huh.?

Li Weiguo was attracted by a large pile of envelopes on the bookshelf.

"Zhou Can, why do you have so many envelopes?" Li Weiguo asked, pointing to the pile of envelopes.

"Oh, those, those are the letters that were left unclaimed by the postmaster. It's been a long time, and I was supposed to take them out for processing. I thought they were fun, so I kept some. I kept them there and forgot to throw them away. ." Zhou Can explained.

Li Weiguo picked up a few letters and looked at them. Many of the dates on the letters were from 55 years ago, even before the founding of the People's Republic of China. The letters had been opened, but most of the stamps on them were intact.

Hey. Stamps!

The stamp on the envelope immediately attracted Li Weiguo's attention.

This is a letter written after the founding of the People's Republic of China. The envelope retains a blue-gray stamp, written in traditional Chinese: China. People. People. Politics. Consultation. Conference Commemoration, China. Post .Government, one hundred yuan.

This is the first commemorative stamp issued after the founding of the People's Republic of China. It has four face values ​​of 30 yuan, 50 yuan, 100 yuan and 200 yuan.

This face value is based on the value of the first RMB, which is almost 10000:1 compared to the second RMB in use today.

This stamp was issued in large quantities, and the price for future collections is around a few hundred yuan.

Yes, stamps! Li Weiguo was like an enlightenment.

At this time, the culture of stamp collecting had not yet formed, and few people collected stamps. Many rare stamps were destroyed due to careless preservation.

If you don’t understand antiques, why don’t you understand stamps?

It doesn’t matter if you don’t understand. Just know in advance which species are rare.

You can definitely collect some.

The more Li Weiguo thought about it, the more excited he became. Yes, collecting stamps is definitely a very good investment channel.

He immediately said: "Zhou Can, I really like the stamps on these envelopes. Do you still want them?"

Zhou Can said doubtfully: "They are all used. What do you want them for? If you want them, I will go to the post office and get you some unused ones."

Li Weiguo waved his hand and said: "No, I just like old ones and collect them for fun."

Of course, new ones are good, but used letter sales tickets can also be collected. As long as they are rare enough, they are also very valuable for collection.

Zhou Can waved his hand nonchalantly: "Okay, you can take them all if you like them. Keeping them takes up space, and I don't lack them either." After that, he took the pile of old letters from the bookshelf and handed them to Li Weiguo.

"Okay, thanks."

What a good brother. When he becomes prosperous in the future, he will take more care of Zhou Can without taking advantage of him. At least he will help him survive the storm of ten years.
