When Xu Qing returned to the rental house, he found that Qin Bing, who looked haggard, was still sitting in the living room with his hair down, so he could only bite the bullet and step forward to be scolded.

"Sister-in-law, I'm back." Xu Qing entered the room with her head drooped, her eyes fixed on her toes.

Qin Bing's lips trembled twice, wiped the dry corners of his eyes and said, "You haven't had breakfast yet? I'll help you make it." After saying that, he stood up and walked to the kitchen.

"No, I've eaten outside." Xu Qing quickly took two steps forward and reached out to stop Qin Bing.Seeing his sister-in-law's haggard look, he felt sour in his heart.

"Oh! Then wash your face and get some sleep. I'll go to work first." Qin Bing's expression was dull, and he slowly turned around, picked up his small bag and walked out the door.

There was no rebuke or many words, as if Xu Qing had never left, but it was not difficult to tell from her haggard face that she had clearly stayed up all night last night.

After Qin Bing left, Xu Qing immediately took out a paper knife and a new book from the drawer.He carefully opened the old map and found a square piece of paper inside that looked like a stamp.

Before the computer was returned, Xu Qing hurriedly checked the paper calendar online. After searching for a long time, he finally found a stamp exactly like the piece of paper in his hand on a website called Huayou.com.

The Dalong stamp of the Qing Dynasty is one of the mother stamps of the Dalong stamp of the Qing Dynasty. There is a pot of evergreen on the elephant's back, which represents the cycle and endless life.Two bats are flying above, and a bunch of clouds are in the upper left corner.Bat and "Fu" are homophonic, together with the clouds, it means "the sky is filled with great blessings", plus the elephant, it becomes "the auspicious omen that the sky is filled with great blessings"...

Xu Qing held his breath and quietly browsed through various introductions about the 'Ten Thousand Years of Elephant', his heart almost leaping into his throat. Finally, when he saw the words 'very precious' and 'incomparably precious' that appeared frequently, even his fingers couldn't help but tremble slightly.

After browsing the information for an hour, Xu Qing was able to confirm that the piece of paper bought for eight yuan in his hand was the Great Dragon Mother stamp with ten thousand years of existence. It was also in good condition and was almost a brand new stamp. The news he got from the Internet was that this stamp was auctioned for nearly 600,000 Hong Kong dollars. This was what excited him the most.

Not to mention 600,000, even if it was folded in half, it would be 300,000, which was more than enough to solve the current embarrassing life problems. Xu Qing breathed a sigh of relief, took out a small plastic bag from the drawer, opened it, carefully picked out the stamps with a razor blade, then unfolded the pages of the book and sandwiched the plastic bag, stood up and put the book into his bag.

Just after finishing all this, the PHS on the table rang. Xu Qing grabbed it and connected it. It turned out to be the person on the second floor who asked him to repair the computer. He responded casually, immediately closed the computer, unplugged the cord, picked it up and hurried downstairs.

When we arrived on the second floor, the resident named Liu was already standing at the door, rubbing his hands and waiting. He was fat and short, wearing a pair of black-rimmed glasses. His occupation was writing online novels and scripts, and his income was pretty good. However, not having a computer was like a bottleneck, and he was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. He started calling early in the morning to urge him.

Seeing Xu Qing coming over, the man surnamed Liu rushed forward to help take over the computer case and ran into the room.

Xu Qing couldn't help being stunned as he watched this guy's fat body tremble and move as fast as flying. He smiled, shook his head, and carried the monitor and feet into the room.

Although Fatty Liu didn't know how to repair computers, he was very familiar with plugging in the cables and turning it on. When he heard a popping sound in the computer case, the display screen immediately responded. Fatty's face lit up with joy, and he praised repeatedly: "Brother, that's good! I trained my mistress in one night..."

Xu Qing was slightly startled, and a few black lines appeared on his forehead. What kind of mistress training was there?

Fatty Liu pointed at the computer with a smile and said: "This is our mistress. When something went wrong, you corrected it, didn't it teach me? Not to mention, even the fan noise has been reduced a lot."

Xu Qing suddenly realized it and said with a smile: "There was a layer of dust on the CPU fan, so I cleaned it off with a brush."

Fatty Liu gave a thumbs up and said: "Jingye, you are much better than those who repair computers, huh! Twenty Days, I will come back to you if anything happens in the future." After saying that, he took out a twenty yuan note and stuffed it into Xu Qing's hand.

Xu Qing took the money and stuffed it into his pocket, pretending to be casual and asked: "Brother Liu, do you know if there is any stamp trading place in Jiangcheng?"

Fatty Liu smiled slightly and said, "Brother, do you also collect stamps?"

Xu Qing nodded and said: "I used to be good at this and bought a few stamps, but now I want to make some cash with gloves."

In his opinion, even if the stamp was said to be valuable online and could not be cashed out, it would be useless. It was better to sell it cheaper. At least he would be able to pay for college and help his sister-in-law reduce the burden.

Fatty Liu was tinkering with the computer and said without looking back: "I know a second-generation rich man. He usually likes to tinker with stamps and antiques, but he really doesn't like ordinary things like Golden Monkey Tickets. As long as the goods are good, money is not an issue."

The implication is that if there is no good stuff, it will never catch the eye of that buddy. Fatty Liu has a wide circle of friends. The old second-generation rich guy he talks about is a famous figure among Shanxi coal bosses. They say that once people turn money into numbers, they like to add some cultural heritage. As long as the goods are good, money is like a bastard. These two men are typical of this type of people.

Xu Qing's heart was beating wildly, but his face was calm. He smiled and said: "To be honest with Brother Liu, my stamp is really worth much more than the monkey stamp. If your buddy is willing to pay for it, he will definitely be surprised."

"Oh!" Fatty Liu put down the mouse, turned around and looked at Xu Qing and said with suspicion: "Really? Brother, don't throw it away. What's the name of that stamp?"

"The brand-new Dalong stamp has an image for thousands of years." Xu Qing spit out ten big characters calmly, and the fat on Fatty Liu's face suddenly shook. Although he had no research on stamps, the name of Dalong stamp is known to any Chinese with a little knowledge.

"Brother, are you sure it's the Dalong stamp?" Fatty Liu's eyes flashed with two lights, and he asked again in disbelief. When Xu Qing nodded, the guy immediately picked up his phone and pressed a series of numbers.

Beep...the phone was connected, and a rumbling voice came from the other end: "You idiot, are you disturbing me so early in the morning?" The owner of the voice was obviously still struggling on the bed, and he opened his mouth to complain.

Fatty Liu was so confident that he called into the phone: "I'm not looking for you, it's the brand new Dalong stamps that are looking for you... There will be an image every year..."

"Fuck, I'm so full..." Dudu... the other end cursed and immediately hung up the phone. Fatty Liu shook his head with a wry smile. He couldn't figure out why the rich second generation hung up the phone. Maybe he deserved to be scolded for disturbing his dreams so early in the morning.

"Forget it, maybe he already has this stamp, so I'll go up first." Xu Qing saw that Fatty Liu was bored and didn't want to stay here. He had to clean the corridor of the rental house later. As for the rich second generation that Fatty Liu said, he didn't take it to heart.
