Chapter 1761: Collecting Stamps 4
Because of the jade and antiques they collected, the couple talked about Huo Beiting's family affairs, corruption, and the education of their children. They chattered and chattered for a whole afternoon.
Lu Jiang had just returned and had no important work, so he could rest for two days.
Feng Qingxue also went to the front line when she was seconded, and had a few days off when she came back. She chose to rest when Lu Jiang came back.
After lunch, he sent the children to school, and Lu Jiang accompanied his wife to send letters and things in the afternoon.
After packing and registering them one by one, the staff of the post office were familiar with them. After counting, there were a total of 17 packages. "The two leaders received the most packages and sent the most. The postage alone was a considerable amount."
If they were not popular and generous, how could there be so many exchanges?
Lu Jiang and Feng Qingxue were generous and famous in the army. They were not stingy with anyone. Their children were also the most blessed and often ate good things that others could not touch.
Feng Qingxue looked at the young female comrade in front of her with a smile, "Xiao Li, do you have any new stamps here? I want to buy a few copies."
The most expensive stamps are the "The Countryside Is Red" and the "Monkey Stamp". At first, she couldn't remember which year they were issued. Fortunately, the price of stamps is limited, ranging from 8 cents to 12 cents per stamp, and a whole sheet is only a few dollars. Feng Qingxue has collected several copies of each stamp sheet over the years. Anyway, her family often sends letters and things, so buying more stamps will not make people suspicious.
The Countryside Is Red was issued in 1968, and she bought ten copies at that time and put them in the space. The "Monkey Stamp" had not yet been issued.
In addition, she also used her connections to collect many old stamps, including a set of Dalong stamps and four sets of Lanjun Mail Four Squares, and also collected red stamps, which are all the most expensive stamps.
Xiao Li took out a whole sheet of stamps, "Only one sheet of stamps is new this year, eight cents a stamp, six stamps in a set."
Feng Qingxue took a look and found that it was gymnastics stamps. Although she had bought them in Nanhai when they were first issued, she still paid for two now, fifty stamps each. The extra stamps were used to send letters, so they would not be wasted.
Lu Jiang also remitted money to several martyrs' families, some only gave money, and some sent a few kilograms of food coupons.
Feng Qingxue leaned over to look and found an unfamiliar name, "Who is this?"
Lu Jiang sighed, "Several brothers died at the border at the beginning of the year. Others were fine, and we don't have to worry about their families. But one little brother left behind a two-year-old child. His wife took away the pension and disappeared, leaving the old couple to raise their grandson. The old couple are in their forties and are in good health, but they live in a remote area and have very difficult living conditions. I send them some money and food coupons every month. I asked someone to check on them. The old couple only have one son, no other children, and this son died again."
Feng Qingxue felt very sad when she heard this, and said, "It will be cold in autumn soon. Don't send the money yet. I will pack two winter clothes and buy some nutritional supplements when I go home and send them together."
"You are still thoughtful." Lu Jiang put away the remittance slip.
After leaving the post office, the two went directly to the service center. Feng Qingxue first weighed two pounds of White Rabbit milk candy, "Made with condensed milk, seven candies and a cup of milk, and then buy two cans of malted milk and two boxes of luncheon meat."
After buying everything, Lu Jiang paid the money and turned around to see the orderly Xiao Miao running over.
"Leader, the call from the capital!"
