After Black Lotus became a reborn person, he went completely crazy

After hearing this, the elder sister said directly: "You want the old stamps, right? They are in the warehouse. Go around from the outside. I'll look for them for you. Come on. However, they are all covered in dust. They have been there for a long time."

"It's okay, thank you, big sister."

Xia Ran pushed her bicycle and went around a little bit to the backyard of the post office. The eldest sister went into a small warehouse where sundries were stored. Xia Ran stopped her bicycle and went in to help search.

There were also a lot of newspapers piled up inside. Xia Ran sorted them out, and the elder sister said, "Don't worry about it. These newspapers have expired a long time ago. There is no point in keeping them. They will all be turned into waste in the future."

Xia Ran's eyes lit up when she heard this: "Sister, why don't you just sell it to me at the price of scraps? I'll take it home and use it to paste on the wall. Or let my child practice calligraphy. It's very good. It's a waste to leave it like this."

"Okay, then just put it in order and take it away."

"Thank you."

"It's okay. It still takes up space."

As she spoke, the elder sister took out two complete sets of monkey stamps from somewhere and handed them over: "Take a look, do you want some?"

Xia Ran thought she had heard wrongly, so she stretched her head to take a look and was so happy that she pretended to be nonchalant and replied: "Yes, this monkey is pretty and energetic."

"Well, this one is more popular with children. When it first came out, my son liked it very much and collected a few for himself. Later, when I was mailing a letter, I used it temporarily, and he quarreled with me for two days. I had no choice but to buy a few more and return them to him. He watched them very closely."

"Yeah, it's normal for monkeys to be so cute and popular. It means your son has good taste."

The eldest sister snorted proudly: "What kind of vision does he have? He just spends money recklessly. One bill is 8 cents, how expensive it is. I usually spend one cent as if it were two cents, but he spends money recklessly. Kids nowadays don't know how to live at all."

"Big sister, you are eating the government food and yet you are crying poor. We, the common people who farm the land, are really poor, but you are eating the emperor's food, and you have a guaranteed harvest regardless of drought or flood."

Why do people with a job still cry poor? The benefits are so good!

"If we only care about our small family, we will definitely be able to live well. But my husband and I have a large group of people behind us. They all rely on our salary. Do you think we can live comfortably?"

Xia Ran couldn't help but say: "Big sister, you must take care of your own family first. You can't starve yourself and take care of others."

"Well, it's complicated to explain. My husband is the first high school student raised by his family. Since he got a formal job, he has been paid money and tickets every month, and he always sends them back to his hometown. He has several brothers and sisters, and they all rely on his salary. Every year, he buys fertilizers, and he also asks him for tuition for the children. And I have a younger brother and nephews and nieces to take care of, so..."

Xia Ran was shocked: "It's like you two are raising two families. How are your next generation? Are there many promising ones?"

"No one in my brother's family is capable of supporting themselves. In my husband's family, only the eldest son of the fifth brother seems to be doing well. He is in the third year of junior high school and is doing well in his studies. I hope he will have a bright future. Most of the tuition is paid by my husband and me. The others are not as good as us. They are all farmers and are honest people."

"Where are your children?"

"My eldest daughter has already married in the city. Her husband's family is well off. She doesn't have a job, so she stays at home to look after the children and the elderly. My son-in-law works at the bus station, and they live a decent life.

My son works in a chemical factory, but the performance is not very good now, and he doesn't make much money. My daughter-in-law works in a water plant, and her job is easy, but the salary is low, and she is currently receiving the lowest level salary.

I have a little daughter, who is in her second year of high school. She is neither good nor bad in her studies. Her father wants her to work hard to get into a technical secondary school in the city and go to a normal school in her third year of junior high school. She can become a teacher directly after graduation, which is great. She can also start earning money earlier.

But the girl doesn't want to be a teacher and insists on taking the college entrance exam. She may not be able to pass, and even if she does, it will definitely cost a lot. Normal schools also provide subsidies. Oh, it gives me a headache just thinking about this."

As the elder sister spoke, she handed over more than a sheet of Mei Lanfang stamps and a small stack of Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy stamps.

Pointing to Mei Lanfang's, he said: "I remember this one was sold out at the time, who knew I would find it here."

Xia Ran took it and said in return: "Big sister, as long as my daughter wants to study, you must support her well. This is the best time for your little daughter to cross the class barrier, and it is also the last channel. You must seize it."

The elder sister was surprised and said: "Sister, you look ordinary, but I didn't expect you to say such philosophical words."

"Sister, I didn't say that. I heard it from a capable relative of mine. He said that the opportunities now are very, very good. Those who can seize the opportunities now through learning will achieve great success in the future. Because our country is developing rapidly and all walks of life need talents, in the near future, these little kids will eventually grow up to be the backbone of society."

"According to your idea, it must be offered?"

"Sister, you must provide for her. If you don't provide for her, who will? Your nephews and nieces? They have their own parents. They shouldn't be your responsibility. Whoever gave birth to them should take care of them. But you gave birth to your daughter. If you don't take care of her, who can you expect to take care of her?

Moreover, if your own children are unfilial in the future, how can you expect others to be filial? People often say that daughters are mothers' little cotton-padded jackets. If you give up your daughter, she can come to see you when you are old and buy you food and drinks. As for nephews and nieces, even if they become successful, the first people they want to repay are definitely their parents, not you two outsiders. "

"My husband thinks that our daughter will belong to someone else in the future, and my nephew only has the same surname as him."

"You're stupid, aren't you? Nephews are called nephews because there are biological parents between them, unless they are nephews whose parents are both dead. Daughters will get married, so what? After they get married, they are no longer your daughters, they are not your children anymore.

I am a woman myself, how can I look down on girls? Let me ask you another question, if you are a married woman, are you more filial to your parents, or is your brother more filial to your parents? "

The eldest sister was stunned for a long time: "I am filial. I just help my brother and nephews and nieces because I see that my parents are having a hard time."

"Big sister, do you understand? Whether a child is filial or not has nothing to do with gender, but with the child's nature. Some children, no matter how young they are, will feel sorry for their parents and understand how difficult it is for their parents. Some children, no matter how old they are, will not feel sorry for their parents at all and think that their parents should treat them well."

"Okay, got it, big sister. I'll think about it."

As she spoke, the elder sister handed over some more stamps. Xia Ran took a look and saw that they were stamps criticizing Lin Biao and Confucius and stamps for female teachers. I haven't heard that these are valuable, so she took all of them.

Xia Ran didn't stop working while talking.
