Chapter 1177 The wonderful father arrives (fourteen)
The five daughters of the Nie family, one of them, and the other one, helped Nie Mingcheng get all the house, the bride price and the wedding banquet.
Of course, this is a later story.
After Anne made the phone call, she paid the phone bill, but she was not in a hurry to leave the post office.
She glanced around her eyes and finally, her eyes fell on the newspaper stand standing in the corner of the wall.
Annie walked over a few steps and pulled out a clip, which contained several newspapers.
Annie browsed roughly and found that this was an evening newspaper issued by the provincial capital, with the distribution scope of the whole province.
There are many pages of the Evening News, in addition to current affairs and local news, there are also special literary sections.
There are separate articles and novel serializations in the literature section.
Annie focused on the articles, well, there were prose, poetry, documentary literature, and many forms, but the content was positive and positive praise.
It has a very distinctive feature of this era.
"Dad, what are you reading the newspaper?"
Problems such as bride gifts are expected to be resolved, and the big stone in Nie Mingcheng's heart also fell to the ground.
He is not so repulsive to his own father who can help him solve his problems.
Seeing his father standing in front of the newspaper stand, flipping through the newspaper one by one, and sometimes he didn't forget to record things on the small notebook, Nie Mingcheng couldn't help but be curious.
He approached his father and asked carefully.
Anne glanced at him lightly, said nothing, and continued to look through other newspapers.
She read through all the newspapers that could be distributed in the county, and recorded all the submission addresses and phone numbers of those literary sections.
After doing this, Anne returned to the counter and bought a large stack of letter paper, a dozen envelopes, and several versions of stamps.
"Dad? You, are you?"
Nie Mingcheng became more and more confused the more he looked at it. His father was the most savings in normal times, and he would never take it out of his pocket if he could "report the accounts" and let his son-in-law pay.
Even if he just called, he could find a reason to "reimburse" Nie Jinxiu.
Yes, buying letter paper, envelopes, stamps, etc. is different from making a phone call. At least it can be pushed to serious things. After a little talk, Nie Jinxiu will give money.
No matter how you look at it, it doesn’t seem to be doing serious things.
But Annie didn't seem to hear Nie Mingcheng's words. After buying the stamps, she suddenly thought of something and asked the elder sister at the counter, "Do you have monkey tickets?"
"Yes, do you want it?"
My elder sister is in spirit.
There are not many people paying attention to monkey tickets and other things in their small county towns.
These days, people buy stamps more often for mailing. There are people who collect stamps, but few of them.
After all, everyone has just had enough food and life is difficult, so how can they take care of what interest to invest?
Stamps were issued last year, but they were not sold well.
The post office simply issued an apportionment order to the staff, and if they couldn't sell it, they would digest it internally.
The elder sisters were all "divided" to five sets.
But she really doesn't need it. One set costs three yuan, five sets cost fifteen yuan.
This is her salary for half a month. With this money, it’s not delicious to sell meat.
"How much does it cost?" Annie's eyes lit up. This was a must-have vacancy in the 1980s.
"Three dollars. I have five sets. If you want them all, I will give you a better price." The eldest sister said anxiously.
"Sure, give it to me."
Annie touched her pocket. Fortunately, when she went out today, the original owner was used to being cautious, so she brought all the private money she had on hand when she went out.
Not much, not much, it costs twenty yuan.
I just bought letter paper, envelopes, stamps, etc., and I spent more than three yuan, but now I still have less than seventeen yuan left.
"Then you give me thirteen dollars, it can't be lower anymore. This is my internal price."
The eldest sister looked around and said in a low voice.
"OK."
Anne didn't bargain, so she took out a handkerchief and shook it open, revealing five pieces, one piece, and one penny of paper money.
After counting, I handed my elder sister thirteen yuan. My elder sister tickled out the counter for a while and found five new sets of monkey tickets.
Anne took it carefully, looked carefully, and confirmed that there was no problem, so she carefully put the stamps in hand.
"dad?!"
Nie Mingcheng became increasingly confused.
What's wrong with Dad?
Suddenly, I spent a lot of money to buy a bunch of stamps that I couldn’t eat or wear?
Even if you want to send a letter, you don’t have to buy that much.
Moreover, he had bought a lot of them just now, why did he still buy them?
"Shut up, let's go out if you have something to say!"
Annie fastened the file bag, clamped it under her right armpit, and walked out of the post office with her chest raised and her head raised.
That look like an old cadre who went to the countryside, full of grandeur.
Nie Mingcheng hurriedly followed.
As soon as he left the post office, he turned to a no-one intersection, and Nie Mingcheng opened his mouth and was about to speak.
As a result, before he could speak, Annie stuffed the letter paper, envelope and other things he had just bought into Nie Mingcheng's arms.
"Dad, did you buy it for me?"
Nie Mingcheng knew that his expression must be stupid at this moment without looking in the mirror.
But he was really puzzled.
"Well, didn't you say that your article was well written?"
Annie looked directly into Nie Mingcheng's eyes and said seriously, "You are a famous 'little scholar' in the office back then, and she is a good at writing articles. Although you don't look like me, you are my kind at least. If you can't do anything else, you should be able to shake your pen."
"My article is very well written. The teacher praised me several times in class. He also read my articles as a model essay. My compositions are often posted on the blackboard behind the classroom!"
When talking about what he was best at, Nie Mingcheng rarely stood up in front of his father.
His fair and thin face was even more excited and flushed, and his eyes were starry-like. The essays he wrote were regarded as model essays by his teachers several times, but his greatest pride.
He is not really useless.
"Then write it well, and send it directly to the newspaper."
Annie pulled out another newspaper and found out that when she was buying monkey tickets with her elder sister just now, she took the opportunity to ask for some expired old newspapers from her elder sister.
Anyway, all Anne wants is the literary section in the newspaper, not reading the news, and it doesn’t matter if it expires.
"What? Send it to the newspaper?" Nie Mingcheng was a little stunned.
He writes good articles and usually writes some poems or prose, but at most he just entertains himself and secretly intoxicates himself in the room.
When he asked him to submit his articles, he would still submit it to the newspaper. Nie Mingcheng's first reaction was that he did not dare.
That's a newspaper, and it's written on it all have articles from real masters.
And he is at best a young man who loves literature, and is far from writers or something.
"No, I, I can't!"
Nie Mingcheng held the letter paper and felt a little hot. He shook his head in a hurry.
"Why can't it work? Let me tell you, I've bought all the letter papers. Why don't you write them for me and see how I deal with you!"
Anne knew that for such a cowardly and self-confidence person, it would be useless to say truth or something, and it would be better to intimidate directly by force.
