On this day, Zhou Haiyang and Liu Yan made an appointment to meet at the post and telecommunications office next to the 203 courtyard at noon when there was no one around.

Zhou Haiyang came here to send application materials to American schools, and Liu Yan came here to buy stamps and install a phone.

"Xiao Zhou, come to the post and telecommunications office to do something?"

When Zhou Haiyang first arrived at the post and telecommunications office, he saw Jia Yimin walking out of the post and telecommunications office.

Zhou Haiyang thought to himself: The less he expected to meet an acquaintance here and now, but he happened to meet him.

He quickly turned around and pointed to the side, covering his back with a package of things in his hand, and said: "Teacher Jia, let me take a look at the stamps. The 110th anniversary of the Dalong stamps issued last month

Zhang and the first group of the 11th Asian Games, I don’t know if there are still others.”

"Oh, you also collect stamps? Okay, you have quite a wide range of interests, so go ahead!" After saying that, Jia Yimin waved goodbye to Zhou Haiyang and walked towards the direction of Hospital 203.

Zhou Haiyang looked at Jia Yimin's leaving figure, breathed a sigh of relief, and walked into the business office of the Post and Telecommunications Bureau.

When Zhou Haiyang finished mailing the letter and walked out of the business office, Liu Yan was walking out of the philatelic sales department north of the Post and Telecommunications Bureau, holding in his hand the 110th anniversary of the Dalong stamp issue and the 11th Asian

The first set of stamps for the Games.

Seeing this, Zhou Haiyang smiled and said: "Fortunately, I heard you mention the names of these souvenir sheets and stamps last night. Otherwise, when the director asked me why I came just now, I really couldn't find an excuse. I didn't even hear the names of those stamps before.

Have you heard of it?”

Liu Yan was startled: "No way? Dalong has never heard of it. The 11th Asian Games that will be held in Yanjing in two years will not know about it, right?"

"I know that, but when it comes to stamps, the one I've heard the most about is the Zodiac Monkey stamp issued in 1980."

"Well! Those stamps are valuable. When they were issued in 1980, they cost 8 cents each. This year, they have exceeded 100 yuan."

"It has increased 1,250 times in 8 years. If I had the investment awareness back then, wouldn't I have made a fortune?"

"What a pity! At that time in the 1980s, there were not many people who had an extraordinary long-term investment perspective on stamps." A proud smile suddenly appeared on Liu Yan's face.

Seeing this, Zhou Haiyang looked at him in surprise: "Do you really have monkey tickets in your hand?"

Liu Yan chuckled, then changed the topic and asked directly: "Have you sent the application materials to the school?"

"Sent it. It's really expensive. It makes me feel bad."

"You old bastard, how do you calculate this account? It would be better to send all the application materials for the school to Lin Nan, and then ask her to send them to the school for you. This way you can save a lot of money compared to sending them to the schools in the United States separately.

Less money." Liu Yan scolded.

"It's not the same. I feel bad for Lin Nan to spend money in the United States." Zhou Haiyang smiled coquettishly.

Liu Yan punched him in the chest: "You are really good at living. Hey, wait for me here, and I will go to the business office to ask about installing the phone."

Looking at Liu Yan's back as he walked into the business office, Zhou Haiyang was thinking about the monkey tickets Liu Yan had just mentioned... and the proud expression on his face that was visible to the naked eye...

According to the financial situation of Liu Yan's family, in the 1980s, spending eight yuan to buy one hundred monkey tickets was as easy as drizzle. Even if it was eighty yuan to buy a thousand monkey tickets, it was still an easy thing.

.

If this were the case, Liu Yan would already be a veritable household worth ten thousand yuan or one hundred thousand yuan.

Just when I thought of this, Liu Yan came out.

I saw him angrily saying to Zhou Haiyang: "Made! If my family is not under the jurisdiction of this area, I have to go back to our local post office to arrange a number."

"Are you really determined to install a phone? Isn't it expensive?"

"The initial installation fee is 5,000, and I'm trying to steal all the money. I'm really going to get ripped off and I have to wait in line." Liu Yan cursed angrily, and then said: "My parents have always asked me to install, and I don't want to be checked by them at any time.

So I never agreed.

Now, in order to make it easier for Lili to find me, I can only grit my teeth and risk my life."

Zhou Haiyang kept smacking his tongue: "Five thousand..."

"Hey, how about you give me some blood?" Liu Yan nudged Zhou Haiyang next to him with his elbow and teased him: "Although my parents are eager to pay for me, as a user, don't you

We should also share part of the initial installation fee.”

After Zhou Haiyang pondered for a moment, he said to Liu Yan seriously: "This phone will be a fixed asset of your family in the future, and it will completely belong to your family. As a temporary resident who leaves early and returns late, at best, I can only talk to Lin Nan when I talk to him.

, for occasional use only.

So I really shouldn’t pay the initial installation fee, but I should pay the usage fee, which can be calculated by counting the number of times or by timing. It’s up to you.”

"You old bastard, you actually think of me as the old man who charges money in a public phone booth?!" Liu Yan then laughed and scolded: "Then first tell me, how should the usage fee of the bed you sleep on be calculated? Should it be calculated by counting the number of times or by counting the number of times you sleep on it?

Timing?"

Zhou Haiyang thought about it seriously again, then he smiled, with a shy expression on his face, and said: "That's right! Since the bed is free for me to use, the phone calls will be free as well. What do you think?

"

Liu Yan laughed and said nothing more.

It is said that Liu Yan and Zhou Haiyang do not have much interaction with each other.

One was born and raised in Ningcheng and came from a cadre family.

One is an orphan from a remote rural area in the northwest region.

The two have equal academic performance in the class, and have firmly held the top two spots for four years.

Logically speaking, they should be competitors.

But it's strange! Liu Yan and Zhou Haiyang just happened to meet each other's eyes.

Somehow, it was far better than his relationship with any boys in the same grade and class, including his middle school classmates in Ningcheng.

Many people say that they are too fat to wear the same pair of pants.

According to Liu Yan's current words, he and Zhou Haiyang are brothers-in-law, and they have developed into good brothers from brother-in-law.

There are thirty-six boys in their college class, but there are only four girls. It is shocking that there are too many students and too few students.

In this case, boys will naturally not be willing to stay in the stage of pointing out.

From the first day of college, the boys immediately showed their talents and devoted themselves to the battle for the law of the jungle.

Unexpectedly, when the sophomore year started, everyone discovered that the dust had settled and each of the four golden flowers belonged to their own people.

Among them, Liu Yan competed for Fan Lili and Lin Nan, two golden flowers from Ningcheng, and Lin Nan's boyfriend was Zhou Haiyang.

Fan Lili and Lin Nan knew each other in high school, and later became even more like sisters.

Therefore, when Liu Yan saw Zhou Haiyang and Lin Nan finally together, he happily extended his hand and said, "We are brothers-in-law from now on."

But the boys who lost were gnashing their teeth towards Liu Yan and regarded him as a traitor.

He said that because Liu Yan constantly created opportunities for Lin Nan and Zhou Haiyang to eliminate interference and brought them together as a couple, they all scolded him for "eating what is out of the bowl and selling what is out of the pot."

Liu Yan was so squeezed that he couldn't even live in the student dormitory since his sophomore year, so he simply moved back home.

In this way, he and Zhou Haiyang, who was also the winner, got closer and closer.

When Zhou Haiyang graduated from University, he was assigned to College 203 because of his excellent academic performance.

Due to the housing shortage in No. 203 Hospital, as a college graduate who has just started working, the hospital will not be able to solve his accommodation problem for at least half a year.

But you must go through the formalities for leaving school immediately.

Just when Zhou Haiyang was sighing and unable to do anything, Liu Yan said to him: "Then you can live at my house. However, my parents' bedroom and bed cannot be moved, and it is even more impossible for me to sleep in the same bed with a boy. In this way, I

I can set up a camp bed for you in the living room."

Zhou Haiyang was overjoyed when he heard this. Originally he only wanted to solve the housing problem for a while, but unexpectedly he got a mid- to long-term solution.

Fan Lili saw that Liu Yan and Zhou Haiyang ate and lived together from now on, regardless of each other, which affected her and Liu Yan's solitude.

He couldn't help but say with some jealousy: "Hey, are you two brothers-in-law? Why do you think Lin Nan and I are like sisters-in-law...

The luxuries Zhou Haiyang owned in his life, apart from the suit Liu Yan lent him 100 yuan to buy, was a Casio electronic watch given to him by Lin Nan that he had been reluctant to wear.

Before Lin Nan went abroad, she bought it for Zhou Haiyang with more than 200 yuan from her parents' money raised in exchange for US dollars.

After Lin Nan finished her junior year in college, she went to study abroad at New York University.

Before this, no one thought she would leave so soon, including herself.

That year, the U.S. Embassy was going crazy issuing visas. It was said that they would sign each one with their eyes closed.

Lin Nan's parents asked her to try her luck at the American Consulate in Shanghai.

Unexpectedly, it was done as soon as I touched it.

The next days were a flurry of chaos.

During that time, Zhou Haiyang was busy running around with Lin Nan.

As they ran, they discovered that the two of them had already arrived at the international flight terminal of Xijiao Airport in Shanghai.

It wasn't until the moment they were about to separate that the two of them seemed to realize that in more than two years of dating, they hadn't even discussed a single word about their future.

Before leaving, Lin Nan took out a box, took out the electronic watch and put it on Zhou Haiyang.

Zhou Haiyang took one look and was dumbfounded. He couldn't help but ask: "Does this thing cost a lot of money?!"

When Lin Nan told him the price, Zhou Haiyang's face was full of surprise, and he scratched his ears and cheeks in distress! He felt sorry for both the money and Lin Nan!

There were several clocks hanging on the wall of the airport showing the time of major cities in the world. Lin Nan compared them, set the time on the electronic watch to New York time, and told Zhou Haiyang: "Remember, you are not allowed to change the time on the watch, just let it

It's been like this for twelve hours.

Until this watch matches the local time, it means we are together again."

Zhou Haiyang immediately understood the full meaning of Lin Nan's words.

Just when Lin Nan was about to enter the international security checkpoint, he was searching for words to say to her, something like a vow of eternal love until death.

But when I finally said it after racking my brains, it turned out to be a very technical question: "How to adjust to daylight saving time? Do the United States and China change to daylight saving time on the same day?"

Lin Nan just left.
Chapter completed!
