Back to the 60s: The Struggle Career of a Charmed Wife-Chapter 1763 Collecting Stamps 4

Due to the jade and antique collection, the couple talked about the Huo Beiting family affairs, about corruption, and about children’s education problems. They chatted on and on, and a whole afternoon passed just like that.

Lu Jiang had just returned and didn’t have any important work to do, so he could rest for two days.

Feng Qingxue also went to the front line during her temporary transfer and had a few days off when she returned, specifically choosing to rest when Lu Jiang was back.

After having lunch at noon and sending the children to school, Lu Jiang accompanied his wife in the afternoon to mail letters and things.

Packing and registering with a list one by one, the post office staff were already familiar with them. They counted a total of seventeen parcels, "The two of you receive the most parcels, and also send out the most. Just the postage alone is a considerable amount."

If not for their good relations and generosity, would there be so much exchange?

Lu Jiang and Feng Qingxue were known for their generosity in the military. They weren’t stingy with anyone, and their children also enjoyed the best, often getting to eat things others couldn’t access. freewebnσvel.cѳm

Feng Qingxue jokingly looked at the young female comrade in front of her, "Xiaoli, do you have new stamps here? I’d like to buy a few sheets."

The most expensive stamps include the ’Red Beauty of Rivers and Mountains’ and the ’Monkey Stamp’. Initially, she couldn’t remember the year they were issued. Luckily, stamp prices were limited, ranging from eight cents to twelve cents per piece, and a whole sheet only cost a dollar or two. Over the years, Feng Qingxue collected several copies of each stamp issue. Anyway, their family mailed letters and things often, so buying many stamps wouldn’t raise suspicion.

’Red Beauty of Rivers and Mountains’ was issued in ’68, and she bought ten sheets to store them back then. The ’Monkey Stamp’ hasn’t been issued yet.

In addition to this, she used her connections to gather many old stamps, including a set of Large Dragon stamps and four sets of Blue Military Post stamps in blocks of four. She also collected Red Revenue stamps, which are the most expensive stamps.

Xiaoli took out a stack of full sheet stamps, "Only one stamp issue is new for this year, priced at eight cents per piece, with six pieces in a set."

Feng Qingxue looked at them. They were gymnastics stamps. Although she had already bought them when they were first issued in the South Sea, she still took out the money to buy two sheets. Each sheet had exactly fifty stamps, and the extras would be used for mailing letters, which would not be wasted anyway.

Lu Jiang also sent money to several martyrs’ families. Some just received money, while others were sent several kilos of Grain Tickets.

Feng Qingxue looked closer and found an unfamiliar name, "Who is this?"

Lu Jiang sighed, "At the beginning of the year, a few brothers sacrificed themselves at the border. Everything else is fine, as the families don’t need us to worry about them. But one young brother left behind a two-year-old child. His wife took the compensation and disappeared, leaving the elderly couple to raise the grandson. The elderly couple is in their forties, their health is still good, but they live in a remote area, and their living conditions are very difficult. I send them some money and Grain Tickets every month. I had someone check on them. The old couple only had one son and no other children, and it’s the son who sacrificed."

Feng Qingxue felt very sad upon hearing this and said, "It will get cold soon in the early autumn. Don’t send money yet. Once we get home, I’ll pack some winter clothes and buy some nutritional supplements to send over."

"You’re always so thoughtful." Lu Jiang put the remittance slip away.

After leaving the post office, the two went straight into the service club, where Feng Qingxue first weighed two pounds of White Rabbit Creamy Candy, "This is made with condensed milk, seven pieces of candy make a cup of milk. I’ll also buy two cans of malt essence and two boxes of luncheon meat."

After buying everything, Lu Jiang paid and turned around to see Xiaomiao, the orderly, running over.

"Sir, a call from the Capital!"
