Chapter 16 The mountains and rivers of the country are red

After receiving his satisfactory bribe, Director Fat got up from the big chair this time, then stood up and took out a set of keys from the drawer under the table. Then he came out of the desk and motioned Wang Xiaomu to follow him.

"It seems that we are going to their warehouse. When we enter, we will choose carefully. In addition, you try your best to delay the time. I will scan it to see if there is anything good." At this time, the sound of the compass sounded in Wang Xiaomu's mind.

"Scan? When did you have this function?" Wang Xiaomu was stunned when he heard the sound of the compass, and then asked doubtfully.

"I just found this function. There is no specific research. I will tell you after I have studied it thoroughly. The task now is to buy stamps." The faint voice of the compass slowly sounded in Wang Xiaomu's head.

Wang Xiaomu felt that the compass seemed to be hiding something from him, but at present, the most important thing was to buy stamps, so he suppressed his doubts and bought the stamps first.

The fat director walked slowly in front of him, and Wang Xiaomu followed him. Looking at the fat man who kept moving in front of him, Wang Xiaomu now can't wait to buy the stamps he wants from the warehouse and leave, but he knows that this matter can't be bad if he is in a hurry, so he slowly follows the fat man in front of him to move the same way.

When the fat director moved to a house with three locks and said to Wang Xiaomu, "This is our warehouse. What you want will not be released until tomorrow, so I will take you directly to the warehouse to get the money and give it directly to me. Don't give it through the back door when you go out. Do you know if you see the stamp in your hand? After saying that, he looked at Wang Xiaomu.

When Wang Xiaomu heard the fat director say that this was the warehouse where the stamps were stored, he couldn't help looking at it a few times. He didn't know if he didn't look at it, but he was shocked. He looked in through the window and saw that there was a full page of stamps on the floor. At this time, the sound of the compass sounded in Wang Xiaomu's mind: "Don't be stunned. Give him the money quickly, or you won't let you go into the warehouse." After saying that, he played what the director said when Wang Xiaomu was stunned.

"Oh, I know, I haven't seen so many stamps. I just looked at it a few more times. I hope the director won't be surprised. Come in and I'll give you the money." Wang Xiaomu came to his senses and said to the fat director.

"What? You're afraid I won't give you stamps!" As soon as the fat director heard that Wang Xiaomu wanted to go in and give him money, he immediately changed his face and asked.

"You misunderstood me. Why don't I give you money? I'll give you the money like this when people come and go here. It's not good if others see it, so I'm going to go in with you and give you money. Besides, this is your territory. How dare I fool you." Wang Xiaomu didn't expect Director Fat to react so much, and immediately explained to Director Fat.

Hearing Wang Xiaomu's words, the color on the fat director's face was also a little better. I looked around and said, "Brother, you're right. I'm careless. If I'm seen by others and go to the Discipline Inspection Commission to sue me, then it's not easy for me to get in." After saying that, he quickly opened the door of the warehouse.

As soon as the door opened, there was a strong smell of mildew, which almost stunned Wang Xiaomu, but when he thought that there were the stamps he wanted in it, he didn't care about the unpleasant smell and walked in. And the fat director, who was waiting for the smell to ease, also came in. Wang Xiaomu didn't see the stamp he wanted for a long time, so he looked at Director Fat. But the fat director didn't move, just stood at the door and rubbed his fingers.

"The fool gives him money" compass scolded in his mind.

"Aa, I forgot. I'll pay now. What if he doesn't give me a stamp?" As soon as Wang Xiaomu heard that the compass would give him money now, he asked puzzledly.

"It's all over here. He won't break the contract, because he sells things from the country and has no worries, so there's no need to give you stamps. Besides, if he can bring you here, I don't want to let people know that he sells stamps. If he doesn't yell on the street for you, what are you afraid of? Give him a mark and remember to learn sweet words. It's good for us." When the compass saw that Wang Xiaomu didn't want to give the fat director money now, he taught Wang Xiaomu a lesson in his mind.

"Haha, Director, I really see such stamps with my own eyes now, especially the stamps printed by our country. I'm so excited. Please don't care. This is your 100 yuan." After saying that, Wang Xiaomu took out the 100 yuan and took it in his hand, but did not hand it to the fat director.

When the fat director saw Wang Xiaomu take out the 100 yuan, he said with a smile on his face, "Oh, don't worry, what you want is here." After saying that, he moved to the iron cabinet behind Wang Xiaomu and pointed to it with his chubby fingers.

"Here?" Wang Xiaomu saw the fat director pointing to the iron cabinet and asked doubtfully.

"Yeah, the stamps issued over the years are all in the stubs here. The monkey ticket you asked for just arrived at our post office yesterday, so I put it in it. Go and pick it out. Don't mess it up." After saying that, he opened the iron cabinet and quietly took the money from Wang Xiaomu's hand.

Wang Xiaomu didn't care about the fat director taking the money. All his thoughts were attracted by the content in the iron cabinet. At this time, the fat director went out and said before going out, "Comrade, I'll stay at the door until you pick it out." After saying that, he went straight out and closed the door. Wang Xiaomu knew that he was out to get the wind and didn't care.

"Oh, Xiaomu, take away the stamps on the third floor. There seems to be something behind it." The compass said at this time.

"Okay, what did you find? We are here to buy monkey tickets this time, only 5 shares. I want to go back early and help me choose quickly." Wang Xiaomu reminded him while carrying the stamps mentioned in the compass.

"I know, but what if I find a stamp that is more valuable than a monkey ticket?" The compass said with a smile.

"What, you're saying it again." Wang Xiaomu didn't expect the compass to say so, so he immediately asked doubtfully.

"I said, I found a stamp that is more valuable than a monkey ticket." The compass said it again.

"Really? What kind of stamp is more valuable than a monkey ticket? Wang Xiaomu heard it clearly this time and asked doubtfully, because in Wang Xiaomu's heart, the price of monkey tickets is already very high. Are there any stamps that are more valuable than monkey tickets?

"It's true. Hurry up and open the things here," the compass urged.

Wang Xiaomu directly moved out the place pointed out by the compass. After moving, he asked, "Where is it? I didn't see it."

"You pig, you didn't see the stamp in that corner, which is a stamp that is more valuable than a monkey ticket." The compass said in a hateful tone.

After listening to the compass, Wang Xiaomu directly leaned half of his body into the mezzanine. Sure enough, he saw a folded and wrinkled page of stamps lying there in the corner, so he took it out with his hand and looked at the light in the warehouse. He saw that the stamp was too red, and a piece of red filled the whole Layout. On the stamp, I saw the red sea formed by red flags and the warm cheering of the workers, peasants and soldiers. At the top is a map of the People's Republic of China. The map is painted in red except for Taiwan Province, with the gold character "The mountains and rivers of the country are red" printed on it. Wang Xiaomu looked carefully at the price or eight cents, and asked why the stamp of the compass was more valuable than the monkey ticket?

This edition of stamps, known as "The Red Mountains and Rivers of the Motherland", was printed during the period of cultural turmoil. On November 25, 1968, the stamps were first issued in Beijing for less than half a day. An editor of China Map Publishing House found that the map of China on this stamp was inaccurate, and the Xisha Islands and Nansha Islands were not drawn. He reported it to the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications through the organization. After the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications found the problem, it urgently ordered post offices across the country to stop selling, and all stamps should be returned. However, some post offices have sold this stamp in advance, causing a small number of stamps to flow out. "A piece of red" has become a famous rare mail in New China stamps and among the world's rare mails because of its small number of people. Do you think it's valuable?" The compass introduced the origin of this stamp and asked Wang Xiaomu.

Wang Xiaomu has been stunned by the origin and value of this stamp in his hand. He came to his senses and asked, "Control, let's say that we sent it?" This stamp should be the most complete version of our era. According to the current market, the value is immeasurable. When we go back, we will hand it over to the auction house directly. We just wait to collect the money. The compass said disapprovingly.

"Do we still want the monkey ticket?" Wang Xiaomu felt that he had asked a very idiotic question.

"If you want, let's take one less version of the monkey ticket. No one is too much money. If you think too much, don't take it." The compass saw that Wang Xiaomu asked a small white question and roared directly in his mind.

"Take it. I'll definitely take it all. Hurry up and find the monkey ticket there." Wang Xiaomu knew that he had said something wrong and directly leaned into the cabinet to find a red ticket.

"Don't look for it. I've scanned it. There is only one version in the whole cabinet, and there are no other places. In addition, the monkey ticket is at your feet. You take the middle version. Those versions are very good. We don't have much time in the warehouse. Hurry up and look for it." The compass directly said Wang Xiaomu's purpose.

When Wang Xiaomu heard the compass, he said his thoughts directly. He smiled and touched his head and said, "You said it earlier." After saying that, he squatted on the ground * and pulled out the monkey tickets mentioned by the compass, and then carefully selected four of them in front of the light before walking to the door.

When I opened the door, I saw the fat director sitting on the steps dozed off. He gently walked over and patted the fat director on the shoulder and woke him up and said, "Mr. Director, I'm sorry for the task given to me by the big guy, so I carefully selected a few, which delayed your office. Time, I'm sorry."

"Well, have you chosen everything?" The director looked at Wang Xiaomu and said slowly.

"The director, I'm sorry, I chose the 4th version of the monkey ticket." Wang Xiaomu said.

Version 4? Didn't you say version 5? You have given all the money. Why do you want to go back on your word? As soon as the director heard that Wang Xiaomu only selected four, he was afraid that Wang Xiaomu would ask him for money, so his face immediately changed.

"The director, it's not like this. Wait for me to finish my words." Wang Xiaomu said when he saw the director covering his pocket and suppressing his smile.

"The director, it's not what you think. I've given you the money. How can I go back? You have helped me so much. I thank you for being too late. How can I break the contract? I just found another stamp in your cabinet. I think it's more meaningful if I buy one than buying a monkey ticket. In addition, I think that the director promised me 5 editions, so I reduced the number of monkey tickets by one edition, and added the number of stamps to the price of 5 stamps. You see. How's it going?" Wang Xiaomu looked at the fat director and said in a sincere tone.

As soon as the fat director heard that Wang Xiaomu didn't ask him for money, his face eased down, so he put on the director's air and said, "Comrade, what stamp did you take? Show me." As soon as Wang Xiaomu heard that the director wanted to see a red stamp, he nervously asked the compass in his mind, "Do you want to show it to him?"

"Show him. I don't think he knows the value of this stamp. I guess he doesn't know the existence of this stamp, so show it to him. Remember to fool him desperately." The compass said insidiously.

Hearing what the compass said, Wang Xiaomu was relieved and opened the stamps in his hand. The red stamps were at the top. Director Fat was stunned when he first saw the red stamp, and then narrowed his eyes and asked, "Is this a stamp?" Why do I feel like a flyer during the cultural turmoil?

As soon as Wang Xiaomu heard what Director Fat said, he knew that this guy didn't know this stamp, and his hanging heart slowly put it into his stomach. At this time, the compass said, "Did I just say? This guy doesn't know this stamp, because this stamp is issued a little. It's normal for few people who don't know it. Now it depends on your ability to fool. As long as we get out of this post office, we will be safe." Well, I'll fool him." Wang Xiaomu agreed.

"The director, don't be surprised. The chairman was still alive when we left the mainland. We saw that the unprecedented revolution witnessed the greatness of the chairman. I don't know if this thing is a stamp, but seeing what is printed on it reminds me of that era, not to mention my old guys. Director, I didn't expect to find this from you. It's my honor. Thank you, Director. After saying that, Wang Xiaomu pretended to wipe his eyes.

The director frowned and looked at Wang Xiaomu. I guess he didn't expect Wang Xiaomu to have such a big reaction. He just stood there and watched Wang Xiaomu perform there alone. Wang Xiaomu secretly saw the fat director standing there through his fingers. He felt that his performance could also fool a director, and he couldn't help but be proud. Don't be careless, pay attention." The compass in my mind reminded me.

When the fat director saw Wang Xiaomu touching tears there, he took out a handkerchief that could not see the color in his pocket and was ready to rub it on Wang Xiaomu's face. Wang Xiaomu looked at a black handkerchief and rubbed his face. He quickly touched his hand on his face a few times, and then put his hand down and didn't give it to the game. The opportunity for the adult's handkerchief rubs against his face.

"Dadman, I know it's your help to buy stamps today. If you have a chance to come to the United States, come to Chinatown to find me. As long as I can help you, I will help you." Wang Xiaomu now hopes to get out of the post office and go home quickly, and begins to fool the director.

When the fat director heard Wang Xiaomu say this, there was a child-like expression on his face. First, he put the handkerchief that could not be seen in color into his pocket and said, "Comrade, I understand the uncomfortable in your heart, but the country has a national policy, and my personal ability can only help you do this. I hope you don't misunderstand me. . " After saying that, he held Wang Xiaomu's hand with his greasy and fat hands.

When the fat director's big hand held Wang Xiaomu's hand, Wang Xiaomu's first thought was whether the director came down from the back mountain. At this time, the compass reminded, "Be careful, don't mess it up." Wang Xiaomu removed the mixed associations in his mind and fought with the fat director in front of him with a spirit of 120,000 points.

Wang Xiaomu also clenched the hand of the director and said, "The director, if it weren't for you and your daughter to help me this time, I really don't know how to explain to my good brothers when I return to the United States. So when you arrive in the United States in the future, you must come to Chinatown to find me. At that time, I will thank you. Wang Xiaomu had to continue to fool him. There was nothing he could do. He wanted to get out.

"Really?" The director asked with green eyes.

"You asked for it. It's not good to say something else. You insisted that he asked the United States to thank you. I think he will definitely look for us as long as he has the opportunity to go to the United States, but can he find it? Xiaomu, hurry up." The compass urged.

Wang Xiaomu also wanted to get out early, but when he saw the appearance of the fat director, he knew that he would not let himself go out without giving him some empty checks. Thinking of this, he said, "Well, it's true. Although I have nothing to do with it in China, it's my world in the United States. We can get whatever you want, even if you want. If you want a woman, I will be satisfied with you. Then look at the fat director with the eyes you know.

After the fat director heard this, the green light in his eyes slowly eliminated, and then let go of Wang Xiaomu's hand and said, "Oh, it's not good to say so. I'm still a national cadre without those hobbies." Then he gave Wang Xiaomu a look that you know.

Wang Xiaomu said to the fat director, "Mr. Director, I still have something to prepare. Do you think these stamps I picked can be taken away?"

"Oh, why do you take so little? I remember there are still a lot of them. Aren't you taking more versions? Don't worry, no one dares to have me. I'll give it to you for free." As soon as the fat director heard that Wang Xiaomu was about to leave, he immediately said that he didn't want to lose an ATM that could be played for free after arriving in the United States.

Wang Xiaomu heard that he could have free stamps and moved his heart. At this time, the compass in his mind said, "I also want to take these free stamps, but we only have 5 pages of permission. What if we take them?" Compass, which province are we in now? Can you find it?" Wang Xiaomu just realized that he had been busy with stamps. He didn't know which province he had come to and asked.

"I'm from your hometown. You don't know each other. It doesn't make sense?" The compass said slowly.

"Aa, you said it was my hometown, Wuhu?" Wang Xiaomu asked.

"Yes, don't you recognize it?" The compass said.

"Okay, so that the stamps can be hidden. Then we can get them. Haha, you said it was my hometown." Wang Xiaomu said excitedly.

After saying so much in my mind, there is still no change in the real time. After Wang Xiaomu knew that he was in his hometown, he knew that he could take the stamps given to him by the director, because no one knew his hometown better than himself. Thinking of this, Wang Xiaomu wanted to laugh loudly and said to the director, "Mr. Director, how can this make it difficult for you to do this? These are enough not to make it difficult for you to do."

The fat director was still immersed in the empty check issued to him by Wang Xiaomu, and he didn't see the strange expression caused by Wang Xiaomu's forced smile on his face and said, "No, it's just a few broken stamps, and it's no problem to give it to you. I can still make the decision. You don't care about me when you walk."

"Is this okay? If I take it all and you don't have it, how can you explain it to the above? As soon as Wang Xiaomu heard the director say that he could take all the monkey tickets, he felt that his heart was about to jump out of his chest, but he also wanted to show his modesty, so he said so.

"Yes, brother, you're right. You can't take it all away. Just leave me a few copies." The fat director has not recovered from the empty check so far, and it is not his fault. Since the reform and opening up, many officials who have been abroad have seen the opening up of foreigners abroad, but what a magical life it is for officials in the 1980s who have not been abroad, so if they have the opportunity to go there after hearing about it. After the United States, someone paid for all the consumption and didn't pay a penny by himself. What a wonderful thing it was at this time. The director couldn't help but come back, so he accepted Wang Xiaomu's suggestion.

"Well, well, I'm picking." Wang Xiaomu is an activist. As soon as he heard what the fat director said, he immediately rushed into the warehouse. He went straight to the iron cabinet and didn't need to say anything with a compass. He casually took a bag and loaded the rest of the monkey tickets. However, considering the situation of the fat director, he did not finish leaving two versions. He found a lot of brown paper in the warehouse and put the new The monkey ticket was wrapped in three layers and three layers. At this time, the fat director also came in and saw Wang Xiaomu's bundle of stamps and said, "Oh, you want to wrap stamps. Just say that I'll get you a plastic bag." After saying that, Wang Xiaomu rushed out without coming to his senses.

"Xiao Mu, it seems that you have grown a lot in your ability to fool people." The compass said in Wang Xiaomu's head.

"I'm a good person, he's a bad person, I don't fool him, I fool anyone, I'm a principled person." Wang Xiaomu said as he tied it up.

At this time, the fat director appeared again. He held a few plastic films in his hand and came to Wang Xiaomu and said, "Brother, I know you're going a long way, so I'll get you some moisture-proof and insect-proof."

Wang Xiaomu looked at the plastic film in the fat director's hand and said happily: What do you really want? I'm sorry for the director. When you get to the United States, you can ask for more blessings. One hand took the plastic film in the fat director's hand, and tied it up three layers inside and three outside.

It took a long time to tie it. Wang Xiaomu looked at the stamp he had tied and saw his hope. Then he remembered that the fat director was still by his side and said, "Mr. Director, you must come to my place when you arrive in the United States. You must come. Oh, by the way, when you go to the United States, go directly to Chinatown. If you go there, just find an elderly Chinese and say that you want to go to the big circle. If you find the big circle, you will find me. You must come to me when you go to the United States.

"Ye-huh, definitely. I must come to you for a drink when I go." Director Fat now can't wait to go to the United States with Wang Xiaomu to enjoy an alternative life.

"Well, Director, I'll go first. Remember to come to the United States." Seeing that the time was almost up, Wang Xiaomu put forward that he wanted to leave.

"Um, you're leaving tomorrow, so I won't keep you to drink, but you must receive me when I get to the United States, and I'll pay for the wine." When the fat director saw that Wang Xiaomu was leaving, he wanted to get an affirmative answer from him.

"That's a must. As long as you can find the big circle, you can find me. I will definitely drink this wine with you." Wang Xiaomu can only follow his words and then walk to the door.

Director Fat couldn't see that Wang Xiaomu could not keep him, so he accompanied him to the door and talked to Wang Xiaomu. At most, he said what he would do if he went to the United States, Wang Xiaomu would treat him. Wang Xiaomu quickly walked out of the post office and agreed according to his wishes. As he walked, the two came to the door.

"The director, remember that you must come to me when you come to the United States. I will be satisfied with you." Wang Xiaomu finally fired an all-inclusive empty check, which got rid of the fat director's inquiry.

"Brother, let's go. See you in the United States. You remember what you said." Fat Director said

"Um, as long as you come to the United States, there is no problem." Wang Xiaomu said perfunctorily.

Wang Xiaomu finally shook hands tightly with Director Fat, and then turned around and left directly, leaving Director Fat alone at the door looking forward to the wonderful life after going to the United States.

"Xiao Mu, I don't see that your ability to fool people is so powerful," the compass said at this time.

"I can't do anything about it, because if I want to be strong, I must sacrifice the interests of some people to meet the powerful resources I want. I remember that Shen Gongbao in the list of gods said that dead friends are not poor. Now I finally understand the meaning of this sentence, sacrificing everything for my own benefit. Wang Xiaomu said quietly.

"Inclusion of me?" The compass asked slowly.

"Exclude you, you are my greatest help and the brother I trust the most. I know you have a lot of things you didn't tell me, but I know you hid it for my own good. I don't blame you because you are Wang Xiaomu's best brother. Wang Xiaomu said to the compass.

"Xiao Mu... I will definitely help you stand at the peak of the universe." After hearing what Wang Xiaomu said, the compass thought for a long time before saying his answer.

"Oc's it, don't think so much. It's enough for you to remember that you are my brother. Let's find a good place to hide these stamps. Wang Xiaomu didn't want to discuss too much on this issue, so he changed the topic.

"I guess you are familiar with your hometown," said the compass.
