The Beginning of the World: Going to the Countryside as an Educated Youth

Chapter 117 Buy stamps and get on the train

This is the first time that Zhao Dongchuan has found a bargain!

In fact, the greater the value of the bargain you find, the happier you are. In addition to the monetary income it brings, a considerable part of it is because of the sense of accomplishment. Things that others cannot understand are discovered by your "keen eyes", and that feeling is the greatest pleasure of finding a bargain.

Zhao Dongchuan flipped through the other stamps with great interest, but unfortunately, he didn't recognize any of them.

In his original life, he had no interest in these things at all, so naturally he did not study them and could not judge the value of other stamps.

He would only know about news like "The Whole Country is Red".

"Your stuff is good, I like it very much. I think someone will collect these stamps in the future. Are you sure you want to give them all to me?" Zhao Dongchuan said to Wang Manyin with a smile.

"You helped me so much last time. If it weren't for you, I don't know how many more days I would have to suffer. If you like it, I'll give it to you!" Wang Manyin said with a smile and nonchalantly.

Zhao Dongchuan naturally wouldn't take his things for nothing, so he said, "Well, I'll buy everything in your package, including the stamps. You can take the money and go home!"

As he said this, he took out five Great Unity banknotes from his pocket and handed them to Wang Manyin.

Originally, Zhao Dongchuan wanted to give him 100 yuan, but he was a little worried about this "second-rate guy"!

I’m afraid he’ll take the money, wander around and spend it recklessly!

So Zhao Dongchuan planned to give Sun Lanhua another 50 yuan when he returned to Shuangshui Village.

Wang Manyin looked at the Great Unity handed over by Zhao Dongchuan a little at a loss.

"So many? I can't use them. These things of mine are worth at most ten dollars. I don't want them!"

"Here you go. These stamps are worthless now, but they may be worth a lot in the future. Take them!"

Zhao Dongchuan shook the money in his hand again and motioned Wang Manyin to take it.

Wang Manyin stretched out his slightly trembling hand, took the big unity handed over by Zhao Dongchuan, and said, "Thank you! Thank you!"

"No need to thank me, this is what you deserve!" Zhao Dongchuan waved his hand and said.

He had never seen in the original book that Wang Manyin made a fortune from stamps. He probably gave them to Maodan and Goudan as paper paintings and ruined them.

He has rescued a treasure of historical significance for the stamp collecting community.

Zhao Dongchuan took the package from Wang Manyin and hung it on his body.

He still needs to find a time to take back the space, now he can only carry it on his back.

"Hurry back to Shuangshui Village, don't wander around outside, and don't spend the money recklessly. Take it home and buy some new clothes for your Lanhua, cat and dog, and some New Year's goods!

Remember, if I hear from Sister Lanhua that you've been wasting money, I'll tell Brother Shaoan and have him give you a beating! "

Zhao Dongchuan didn't care whether Wang Manyin could listen to him or not, he just tried his best to give him advice.

I hope Wang Manyin can listen to me a little more.

"Yes, yes, I will definitely buy good things for Lanhua and the others! Don't worry!"

Wang Manyin had a big smile on his face and kept making assurances.

…………

Toot toot! ! !

The train whistle sounded!

Zhao Dongchuan walked towards the platform with the crowd carrying a shoulder bag.

He found an opportunity to go to the toilet and put Wang Manyin's package into the storage ring.

Wang Manyin was also missing. No one knew whether he had rushed back overnight or gone to stay with his friends.

He didn't care, and he couldn't care.

It’s hard to say when this second-rate guy with a “prodigal personality” will awaken!

Zhao Dongchuan walked to the platform and found the corresponding platform point according to the carriage number on the train ticket.

At this time, there were already several middle-aged men who looked like cadres, waiting for the train to arrive.

Seeing that Zhao Dongchuan was dressed casually and didn't look like a cadre, everyone couldn't help but look at him with a scrutinizing eye.

Of course, they just complained in their hearts and didn't have the intention of asking any nonsense questions.

Who knows whose baby this is? The family that is able to buy the ticket is not simple.

They are all cadres, so they do have some cunning.

Zhao Dongchuan also had a calm expression on his face. He didn't care what others thought.

Now he just wants to take a good ride home and see his family.

After a while, the train arrived at the station and stopped at the platform.

Zhao Dongchuan lined up and got on the train with the conductor's warm greeting.

There were fewer people in the sleeper car and everyone was relatively quiet. After getting on the car, everyone found their own bed, put away their luggage, and began to rest.

It was already night time and no one had the desire to communicate. They just took off their coats silently and went to bed. It was winter and there was no heating on the train, so hiding in the quilt was the only way to keep out the cold.

Zhao Dongchuan was lucky enough to buy a ticket for the lower berth.

He put his bag on the bedside, took off his coat, covered himself with the quilt, and went to bed.

As everyone lay down in bed, the already quiet sleeper car suddenly became even quieter.

Zhao Dongchuan closed his eyes and secretly practiced "Introduction to Qi Refining".

It didn't take long for him to get into the state, wandering in a mysterious world.

…………

In this way, Zhao Dongchuan spent his first night on the train.

"This train will take another day and night to reach Beijing! It's so slow! I don't know when I can take the high-speed train!"

He complained to himself as he read the book.

"Young comrade, would you like to sit in the dining car with me?"

A man in his thirties wearing a Zhongshan suit next to him saw him reading a book silently and started chatting with him.

Seeing someone approaching him, Zhao Dongchuan politely responded, "I'm not hungry yet, so I won't go. Brother, you go first!"

"Oh, comrade, you are quite serious about reading!"

"What book are you reading?"

The man asked curiously.

"I'm reading Selected Works of Mao Zedong!" Zhao Dongchuan showed the cover to the man and then continued reading.

"Good comrade, this is a good book, but many people just buy it and put it at home or hold it in their hands for show, and few people can really read it. You are quite patient at such a young age!"

The man smiled and praised Zhao Dongchuan.

Then the two of them chatted for a while. Zhao Dongchuan didn't know the identity of this person, so he only talked about trivial things in the market. Most of the time he just listened.

"Hahaha, from the way you talk, it seems you're very knowledgeable about literature?" the man asked with a smile.

"No, I just read more books!"

"Haha, that's great. I'm going to the dining car now. Do you want to come with me?"

"Okay, we've been chatting for a while and I'm hungry too. Let's go, brother!" Zhao Dongchuan put away the book and said with a smile.

"go!"

Seeing that Zhao Dongchuan was also going to the dining car, the man went to the dining car with Zhao Dongchuan.

After a while, we arrived at the dining car. There were not many people there. Many people in the hard seat carriages had brought dry food to eat on the road, and only occasionally would the cadres in the hard sleeper carriages come over.

Most of the people who come to the dining car to eat at this time are foreign friends or high-ranking officials sitting in soft sleepers.
