The prosperous era of courtyard houses

Chapter 50, generous

How could you let go of such a box of treasures in front of you?

What is not mentioned must be captured. If you cannot capture everything, at least capture the valuable ones.

So, Li Weiguo smiled and said to Uncle Gu: "Uncle, you have collected these stamps very well. I wonder if you are willing to part with them."

"What are you interested in?"

"All."

"all?"

Such a loud tone shocked Uncle Gu.

Do you dare to ask for all the stamps worth thousands of dollars?

Uncle Gu immediately asked, "Do you know how much these are worth together?"

Li Weiguo smiled: "I counted here, there are a total of 28,623 stamps, ranging from the face value of one cent to the face value of 10 cents. After all, the face value is about 1,200 yuan. Are you right?"

The old man was stunned at this moment. It took him, a collector, so many years to take care of such a large box of stamps that he would not be able to understand it even if someone else didn't give him a day.

Some people can guess the same thing just by reading it a few times. Young people nowadays are really good at it.

How did he know that Li Weiguo was a wall-hanger? With a quick glance, he could almost make a rough guess.

Next to them, Zhou Can and Zhao Guobing were secretly stunned when they heard this amount. They could save thousands of yuan by collecting stamps. It was really a great experience.

For example, Zhou Can's family works in the postal system, and they are given some task indicators and some benefits every year. They have saved some over the years, but only one or two thousand. I have never seen anyone save so much.

Uncle Gu nodded and agreed with the number he said, but he still advised: "Stamps are not something to eat or drink. If you like it, just collect some. It doesn't matter, but don't get addicted to it."

"Don't worry, uncle, I know what's appropriate, and I'm not playing with things to lose one's ambition. The reason why I want to collect stamps is to collect some of the stamps from each era. These stamps are witnesses of history. You can understand history through stamps. It's very well researched. value."

Li Weiguo knew Uncle Gu's concerns. It would be crazy for any child to spend thousands of dollars to buy stamps.

Uncle Gu didn't speak. He was silent for a while. Looking at Li Weiguo's firm eyes, he slowly said: "This box has been with me since the first day I became a postman. I accumulated it bit by bit. Forty It has been many years, and it is the memory of my life. The old man is getting old, and he will not be able to take this box of things with him in the future.

There are no children in the family who can inherit these things. It is better to find someone who really likes them and keep them. Some of the stamps here are no longer in circulation, and they cannot all be counted according to their face value. If you really like them, just take them for one thousand yuan. "

Li Weiguo thought for a moment, said nothing, and pretended to think about it.

Zhou Can and Zhao Guobing next to him kept pulling on his clothes and winking at him to tell him not to be impulsive. This was not a small sum of money.

In these days, most people's salary is only thirty-four yuan a month. If you want to save a thousand yuan, it will take two or three years without eating or drinking, not to mention having to support your family.

Throughout the year, excluding food, drink and daily expenses, it is considered good to be able to save one or two hundred yuan. There are a few people who can spare one thousand yuan at a time.

Li Weiguo pretended to hesitate for a while before nodding in agreement. This amount was a huge profit.

"Okay, then just follow what the uncle said. I will keep this box of things well. If you want to see it in the future, you can come to me at any time."

He reached directly into his satchel and took out a stack of Big Black Ten from the space under the cover of the satchel.

A stack of one hundred sheets, worth exactly one thousand yuan, was pushed directly in front of Uncle Gu.

Seeing his behavior, Uncle Gu glanced at Li Weiguo with a strange look. Someone actually went out with a thousand yuan. If you have money, you shouldn't show off like this.

But he didn't say anything, nodded, picked up the stack of cash, and pushed the box to Li Weiguo.

After the transaction was over, Li Weiguo didn't want to stay any longer. After collecting his things, he said goodbye to Uncle Gu.

The main reason is that I am afraid that the old man will regret it. If he is reluctant and takes it back, wouldn't it be a waste of work? If you take advantage, leave quickly.

When they came out of Uncle Gu's house, Zhou Can, Zhao Guobing and Zhou Bo were all blinded. One thousand yuan was spent in front of them without blinking an eye, and the instigator was still holding the box there. Shale.

Zhou Can was a little worried and couldn't help but ask: "Weiguo, you won't bring disaster to your father's family, right?"

"Well, more or less, there is still some living expenses." Li Weiguo nodded.

Can I tell you, this is all sprinkles?

"Holy shit, you're going to have a hard time? Just spend a thousand yuan like this, what will you do in the future? How about forgetting it and giving it back, we don't want it anymore."

Zhou Can's face changed. It's not bad. If I take you out for a while, you will go bankrupt. How will you explain it when you go back?

"What else can I pay back? I won't pay back even if I come here. But you don't have to worry, there are still a few hundred yuan left. Don't worry, I won't starve to death. I really like it and it's not a waste of money. Don't worry." Li Weiguo said with relief.

After hearing what he said, Zhou Can and the two felt relieved. As long as they didn't spend all their money, there would still be a few hundred left for Li Weiguo to live on.

Zhao Guobing saw his indifferent expression and immediately joked: "You said that if I burn this matter to Uncle Li by burning paper, will Uncle Li jump out of the ground and beat you if he finds out?"

"I think so. My Uncle Li's coffin board may not be able to hold it down at this moment." Zhou Can agreed with a strange smile on his face.

Li Weiguo rolled his eyes at his two bad friends. He didn't know if the cheap dad would jump out of the ground and beat him if he found out.

But he knew that if future generations knew that he had obtained such a box of treasures, they would probably have to dig him out of the ground and give him a good kiss.

Spending one thousand at a time to collect stamps is no small matter. Li Weiguo repeatedly told brothers Zhou Can and Zhao Guobing to keep it secret to avoid unnecessary trouble.

At the very least, Zhou's father and mother would have to nag him for a long time if they knew about it, so it was better to keep a low profile.

Back at Zhou Can's house, everyone sat and chatted for a while. At three o'clock in the afternoon, Li Weiguo and Zhao Guobing said goodbye to Zhou's father and Zhou's mother.

Mother Zhou is too enthusiastic. If she stays any longer, I'm afraid she will have to have dinner again. It's better to come back next time.

After leaving the postal compound, Li Weiguo and Zhao Guobing were on different roads, so they waved goodbye and went home.

Li Weiguo rode his car to a deserted corner, and with a swish, he put the sack of old envelopes and the boxes in the back seat into the space.

Use your mind to clean the stains and bacteria on the surface of the sack of old envelopes and the box of stamps, and then store them in the normal warehouse.

Li Weiguo will not actively collect any more in the short term, mainly because there are several relatively famous stamps that have not been released yet.

Therefore, if you come across something, just collect it. If you don’t come across it, you won’t bother to collect it. Just collect a part every year. After all, these things are basically made by speculation, so there is no need to take it too seriously.
