3. Hometown forty years ago(1/2)
Stamp black image on red background.
There is a confused monkey sitting on the picture, with two columns of words written vertically on the left: China People's Postal Service, Geng Shen Year; and in the right corner are the words '1980, 8 cents'.
Zhuang Mancang asked: "Why did you take out some stamps?"
"Change the ointment," Zhang Youxin said: "This is not an ordinary stamp, this is the monkey stamp issued the year before last!"
Monkey ticket in 1980?
Wang Yi suddenly became energetic.
Although he is not a collector, he has heard rumors about the 1980s Monkey Stamp. This stamp was very valuable in his own era, and there is a saying that one ticket equals a house.
Zhuang Mancang didn't know this information. He said: "Old Zhang, you are really good. Are you going to use this stamp to exchange for other people's ointment?"
"A stamp is eight cents, and you have one, two, three, four, five... There are six stamps in total, which cost forty-eight cents. This high-end ointment that is exported to foreign countries to earn foreign exchange is worth several yuan!"
As he spoke, he was speechless: "How much does a tube of ointment cost? Is the ointment tube made of gold foil?"
Zhang Youxin said anxiously: "Don't look at the face value of the monkey ticket, which is eight cents. In fact, it is worth much more. The year before last, it was scheduled to print eight million copies, but in the end only five million were printed."
"With the reform and opening up, people in the city have begun to collect stamps. I heard from our director that there are now philatelic companies opening in the provincial capital and Shanghai. This monkey ticket will definitely be valuable in the future. There is no problem if the value increases tenfold!"
These words made Wang Yi think highly of him.
Zhang Youxin looks very sloppy, but his brain is very clever.
This is also the advantage of people in the system, who are the prophets of spring water.
He handed the ointment to Zhang Youxin, took the row of monkey tickets, and said with a smile: "Comrade Zhuang and Comrade Zhang, don't argue over such a trivial thing. I've made this deal."
Monkey tickets are the Bitcoin of this era, with huge potential for appreciation.
Wang Yi knows that no matter whether the green key can take him through time or not, the wheel of time will always turn to the future, so this monkey ticket is of great collectible value.
Six monkey tickets, six suites!
Even if he can never go back to 22 years old, with the monkey ticket, he will be one step closer to living on rent in the future!
Zhuang Mancang didn't know this. When he saw Zhang Youxin happily putting the ointment into his briefcase, he shook his head at Wang Yi.
I feel sorry for his misfortune and angry that he doesn't fight.
Sea Hero 6 will not go directly to Tianya Island, its destination is the Haifu County Pier.
However, it is also convenient for them to go to Tianya Island. As a postman, Zhang Youxin is familiar with all the boats on the pier.
He found a diesel-powered iron boat to take the two of them to Tianya Island. The sea was windy today, and the iron boat rode the wind and waves, and a small island floated by like a fleeting glimpse.
Another island appeared behind.
The trees on the island are lush and green, and the sounds of small boats rippling along with the waves, shouting slogans, and singing fishing songs can be heard continuously along with the sound of the waves.
The waves hit the rocks on the island and splashed water droplets. An old man squatted on the rocks to fish.
There are women and children walking back and forth on the island, busy and lively.
"Tianya Island has arrived." Zhuang Mancang stood up and tightened his armed belt.
Wang Yi was surprised: "Is this Tianya Island?"
There was only a difference of a few hours, but what he saw were two completely different islands.
No wonder he has poor eyesight. The Tianya Island he saw in the morning was desolate and decaying, with vines covering the mountains and plains.
And now the Tianya Island that was displayed in front of him was full of vitality. There were people on the island and the surrounding sea, and there were loud shouts.
The iron boat docked at the pier. The wooden pier was also very strong at this time. He was still staring at the long wooden board with a line of large characters written in red paint:
Grasp the revolution, promote production, promote work, and promote war preparation!
Several dogs ran wildly from the shore: "Woof, woof, woof..."
Not far away, a wooden boat floated quickly towards the dock. Wang Yi looked over curiously.
This is a wooden sailing ship.
The bow of the ship is shaped like a bird's head, and the hull is long and straight. From the bow to the hulls on both sides, a strip of green anti-corrosion paint is painted, with black protruding eyes underneath, so that the two strips of green paint are like two green eyebrows, with clear features.
There were two great young men standing one behind the other on the boat. The young man in front was named Wang Dongfeng. He knew Zhuang Mancang.
It turns out that Zhuang Mancang was transferred from the navy to the local police station. He also served as a militia instructor for the Municipal Armed Forces Department. Wang Dongfeng was a militiaman on Tianya Island and received training from him.
Both parties saluted and greeted each other, and Zhuang Mancang asked majestically: "Where is your branch secretary? I have something to see him."
Wang Dongfeng said: "Our secretary has contracted the cold these past two days and has been recuperating at home. I will take you over. Er, who is this comrade? Is he a new teacher?"
The young man at the back muttered: "Look at him, he is dressed in colorful clothes. He is handsome and good-looking, but he doesn't look like a teacher. The superiors have sent another blind man to our village."
Zhuang Mancang said: "Don't talk nonsense, take me to see your secretary."
Wang Yi knew that at this time, Wang Xianghong was still the secretary of the Wang Family Brigade.
This is a powerful figure. He joined the Maritime Armed Forces when he was young. Later, he was promoted to the main force due to his military exploits. He even fought in the Battle of Crossing the River and entered Jinling City.
After the Battle of Crossing the River, the Central Military Commission decided to liberate the Wengzhou area. Wang Xianghong was transferred to the Liberation Army because of his bravery and proficiency in fighting and his familiarity with the local sea conditions. As a result, he made many meritorious deeds and joined the party and was promoted to company commander.
With the liberation of the country, the country began to develop people's livelihood. At this time, Wang Xianghong thought of his impoverished hometown isolated on the sea, so he made many reports and requested to be reinstated and return home to lead the villagers to become well-off.
After demobilization, the island happened to be building a democratic regime. He was the only party member in the village and a soldier with meritorious service. His father was also the elder of the village. In the end, the villagers convinced him to elect him as the village chief, and his superiors also approved him.
Become the village party secretary.
Wang Dongfeng led the way, stepping on the wooden pier with his bare feet and making a thumping sound.
A dog bared its teeth and fur at Wang Yi menacingly, followed quietly, and even tried to bite his ankles.
Zhuang Mancang gave it a quick kick, and the dog howled and flew into the water.
Other dogs ran away with their tails between their legs.
Wang Yi was startled.
Are domestic dogs still so wild?
After they got off the pier, there was a house in front of them. Wang Dongfeng walked straight over. Wang Yi shuddered: Isn't this the house he opened before he traveled through time?
At this time, the gate between the courtyard walls was two elegant painted wooden doors. The gate was open, and the peach trees in the yard were sprouting and growing leaves. Under the trees, there were old hens looking for food.
A middle-aged and elderly man wearing a military green coat was sitting at the door and snoring. He held a white-haired yellow-spotted cat in his arms, and the cat was also snoring.
Wang Dongfeng shouted happily at the door: "Party secretary, who do you think is here?"
The middle-aged and elderly person is Wang Xianghong, who is in his fifties, has good hearing and vision, and is tall and strong.
When he heard the shouting, he quickly opened his eyes, and after seeing Zhuang Mancang's appearance clearly, he stood up: "Xiao Zhuang, what kind of wind brings you here?"
Zhuang Mancang walked in quickly and shook hands with him, showing a warm smile for the first time on his face: "Old squad leader, I should have come to see you a long time ago, but I am busy with work..."
"Don't be polite, why should you come to see me? Now that the public security in your city is chaotic, you have a heavy workload." Wang Xianghong said, "So why are you here this time? Does the public security agency have any tasks?
Do we cooperate?"
Zhuang Mancang gave him a hand and whispered: "I'll give you a step to talk."
The two went to the door and muttered a few words, and he took out the royal family tree.
Wang Xianghong suddenly became excited, and the coat on her body suddenly fell off:
"Yes, this is the genealogy of our Wang family! How could I not recognize it? I recognized it at a glance!"
He quickly walked towards Wang Yi again.
Steps bring wind, tigers and tigers are powerful!
Wang Yi was forced to step back subconsciously.
Wang Xianghong came over and looked at him carefully and asked, "What is your father's name?"
Wang Yi said: "My name is Wang Xiangwen."
Wang Xianghong and his grandfather are of the same generation, both with the surname Xiang. Wang Xianghong’s real name is Wang Xianghong, and he changed his name to Wang Xianghong after joining the army.
Wang Xiangwen is Wang Yi's grandfather. Now he can only apologize to his father in his heart. In order to save his life, he has to pretend to be his father.
According to what he knew, his father was still studying on a farm in Northeast China and would not return to the island until 1987.
Wang Xianghong immediately turned to Zhuang Mancang and said: "Comrade Zhuang, yes, this is indeed a descendant of our Wang family. His father is my brother who has not been in the fifth server. This is correct!"
Zhuang Mancang was stunned and said: "You can confirm his identity just like this? No need to ask more carefully?"
Wang Xianghong said: "What are you asking? His face is exactly like his father's. Look at my face. Do we look alike?"
Zhuang Mancang said hesitantly: "It's a bit like Chu, but..."
"No need to but, he is a descendant of our Wang family." Wang Xianghong said firmly.
Zhuang Mancang asked again: "Then why is your royal family tree in his hands?"
Wang Xianghong sighed subconsciously and said: "I know this, Comrade Zhuang. I will tell you about it when I have the opportunity. This comrade is indeed a descendant of our Wang family."
After saying that, he went to hold Wang Yi's hands and asked: "You were still young when your father left the island. I didn't expect you to be so old in a blink of an eye. Your name is Wang Dongqing, right?"
Wang Yi's father was indeed named Wang Dongqing, but he couldn't recognize the name, so he explained: "After I followed my father to the Northeast, my father changed my name to Wang Yi."
