C182 Send a telegraph to jiang weimin's parents

"Idiot, if we were to fight, wouldn't we just go in?" Jiang Weimin said.

"That's true! But Jiang Weimin, I feel that you have a lot of friends, how do you know all of them? " Zhao Xiangyun had a face full of curiosity.

"Some are old friends, some are acquaintances after doing business! In short, under normal circumstances, they would not be found. " Jiang Weimin did not hide anything from Zhao Xiangyun.

The main reason was that it was still not suitable now, if the opportunity was suitable, Jiang Weimin would have to introduce Zhao Xiangyun to many of his friends.

Hearing this, Zhao Xiangyun felt that it was extremely mystical.

She felt that Jiang Weimin was simply a genius.

The work on the ground did not fall.

There was no delay in making friends outside.

If it were any other person, they would have been able to take good care of him.

Of course, all of this had something to do with Jiang Weimin's quick work.

He worked three or five times faster than the average man.

Not the ones who were so hungry that they didn't have any strength left, but the ones who ate and drank to their heart's content.

For the same ten points, someone else might really only have ten points. He might have done more than ten points, or at most fifteen.

However, Jiang Weimin was extremely glad that he did not lose his job with the Production Team. Otherwise, Zhao Zhiyuan, his future father-in-law, would not have a good impression of him.

His impression of him was not good. In the future, if he wanted to marry Xiangyun as his wife, it would definitely be difficult.

"Jiang Weimin, where are we going now?" Zhao Xiangyun asked.

"Post office! Send a telegram to my parents. " Jiang Weimin said.

The main purpose of Jiang Weimin's visit today was not to do business on the black market or exchange for those things, but to send a telegram.

Send a telegram to his father and his mother.

Hearing the telegram, Zhao Xiangyun became interested.

In her previous life, she had seen many mobile phones and computers, but she had only seen this telegram in books.

She didn't know much about it either.

Zhao Xiangyun heard from Jiang Weimin that the telegraph messages were calculated using words.

Four cents a word. This is a regular telegram.

About four or five days later, it would be in his hands.

Besides, there was an urgent one called the Express, which cost eight cents a piece.

Normally, it would only take a day or two for it to reach the other party.

Of course, the premise of this was that they were in the city. If they were in the countryside, they might arrive at the post office. However, the postman delivered them late.

Jiang Weimin brought Zhao Xiangyun to the post office and directly lined up in front of the telegraph counter.

It was Zhao Xiangyun's first time coming to this era's post office.

He felt that everything around him was novel.

There were more people in the post office than she had seen in the bank in her previous life.

Not only that, almost everyone who came in had a letter in their hands.

They should have all been written and sent to relatives and friends in the distance.

Zhao Xiangyun stared at the letters and accidentally glanced at the stamps on the envelopes. Suddenly, she remembered that the stamps at this time would be worth a lot in the future.

Because it was issued in sets, and so many years had passed, very few people would have kept a complete set of stamps.

If you have a complete set of stamps, it seems to be worth a lot of money.

Zhao Xiangyun said to Jiang Weimin who was beside him. "Jiang Weimin, I'll go over there and see if there are any envelopes or stamps for sale!"

"You want to send a letter?" Jiang Weimin asked.

"Mmm, my uncle and aunt are all cultured people. They usually send letters to us, but our family only receives letters and never replies to any of them." If there's a chance, I must reply with a letter! "

Zhao Xiangyun said.

Jiang Weimin nodded, "Go ahead, I will queue up here!"

Then, he took out two dollars from his pocket and handed it over to Zhao Xiangyun. "Buying a letter and a stamp should be enough."

"I don't want it, I have money." Zhao Xiangyun waved her hands, but was unable to stop Jiang Weimin's force.

There was no other way, Zhao Xiangyun could only take the two dollars.

Zhao Xiangyun walked to the counter where there were slightly less people, and queued for nearly half an hour before it was her turn.

But for Jiang Weimin, it would probably take even longer.

Basically, his team all sent out telegrams.

It's good to meet experienced ones, the ones that are inexperienced, the ones that are almost completely muddled up, this one, that one.

His speed was very slow and his efficiency was very low.

But there was no other way.

First of all, he didn't understand it.

Secondly, the telegram was really expensive.

Four cents was just a small sum of money.

For an average person, this amount of money was no small amount. If they were lucky, they could buy one or two jin of fine grains, or maybe even fifty centimeters. They could also buy one jin of meat.

Of course, that is only if you have the food and meat tickets.

"Hello, Comrade. Excuse me, are there any stamps and envelopes for sale here?" Zhao Xiangyun asked.

"Of course! The envelope is two cents each, and the stamp counts separately. There are different stamps with different denominations. "

The letter, most importantly, was not an envelope, but the stamp on it.

Only with stamps can the letters be sent out.

In this era, the most economical way to contact people was to send them a letter.

The price of the envelope was fixed, except for stamps, which varied from a few cents to a few cents.

The more expensive it was, the faster it would be.

Zhao Xiangyun did not understand the gist of it. The employee patiently explained it to her.

"Thank you, comrade. I understand! You get me ten envelopes first, and as for stamps... Do stamps have that special kind of stamp? It's just that it's not normal! "

Stamp is also divided into many kinds, have commemorative value, must be commemorative event, have stamp.

If it was a normal stamp, there wouldn't be a complete book to speak of, so every one of them would be the same.

"You mean commemorative stamps? Was it specially made for the grand incident? " The staff member asked Zhao Xiangyun.

"That's right, this is the way!" It might not be the closest one, and it might not be any problem for the previous ten or so years! "

Afraid that the staff member would misunderstand, she added, "I have a lot of letters to mail, all of which are relatives of my family. But I like that different kind of stamp, and I feel a sense of accomplishment when I put different stamps on each letter! "

Actually, it didn't matter if Zhao Xiangyun explained or not.

After all, who didn't have a special hobby?

Some people liked to drink food and wine, while some people liked to drink Maotai s.

As long as it didn't affect anyone else, it was fine.

"I have to go to the warehouse to look for something like that!"

The post office had ordinary stamps on its surface, and usually no one asked about the commemorative stamps.

Plus the county, everyone wanted the cheapest and the most expensive.

"Then when do you have the time?" Zhao Xiangyun asked.

"Wait a moment, there's no one left now!" When the others have finished mailing their letters, I'll go to the washroom and look for it for you! "

"Then I'll be troubling you!" Zhao Xiangyun nodded her head.

While she was speaking, it was already Jiang Weimin's turn.

He began to telegraph.

Jiang Weimin was extremely familiar with the route, and quickly finished sending the telegram!
