Chapter 49

Jiang Zhizhi raised a mischievous smile, Jiang Yuanshan and Jiang Yuanfeng mirrored her expression.

Jiang Yuanshan cracked his fingers, “Oh? My roasted meat?”

Jiang Yuanyang, drawing on years of survival experience, knew his older brother was going for the kill!

Jiang Yuanfeng laughed, “You even know where I keep the roasted meat? You’re too smart, kid.”

Jiang Yuanyang, terrified, immediately ran behind Jiang Zhizhi.

“Hitting is a sign of love, scolding is a sign of love, no hitting no love.” Jiang Zhizhi waved her hand.

Although Jiang Zhizhi was siding with her older brothers, she also felt a little pity for her younger brother who was about to face a mixed-gender double-team.

Jiang Zhizhi raised her hand and grabbed Jiang Yuanyang by the collar, Jiang Yuanyang felt like his fate was being strangled.

Ding Xianglan in the house was so angry that her hair stood on end. She snorted, walked out to pick up her shoes, “Hold him down for me!”

“Coming, coming, Xiaoyang, don’t struggle, unless you want to pay us back for the meat?”

“How about this, you treat us to meat?”

Jiang Yuanshan and Jiang Yuanfeng, receiving their mother’s orders, held Jiang Yuanyang down, one on each side.

They completely ignored the pig-like squeals coming from their younger brother.

Jiang Zhizhi couldn’t believe her ears, when did her older brothers become so cunning?

This feeling was so familiar…

Sure enough, the more roasted meat you have, the more stingy you become.

The sunlight fell beautifully on the family, a picture of perfect happiness.

Jiang Zhizhi took a pen and paper out of her small bag, leaned lazily against the table in the yard, and smiled with extreme gentleness.

She quickly sketched this beautiful scene before her.

The three brothers, having regained their senses, discovered that their sister was drawing without any pressure, she was too strong!

Jiang Yuanyang looked at the drawing on the table, becoming more and more fascinated, he really liked it.

It would be even better if the him in the drawing wasn’t so pathetic.

Jiang Yuanshan particularly liked his sister’s drawings, it felt like taking a photograph, even the movements and expressions were so realistic, she drew so well.

Jiang Yuanyang patted his chest and shouted, “Zhizhi, can you draw a portrait of me sometime? The handsome kind.”

“Wait! Third brother, aren’t you making things difficult for Zhizhi?” Jiang Yuanfeng laughed.

Jiang Zhizhi couldn’t help but curl her lips, “No problem, if I can buy watercolor, I’ll paint you a watercolor painting!”

Her brothers loved her sketches so much.

If she used watercolors, wouldn’t they be even happier?

The Jiang family’s looks were all eye-catching, it would be a pity not to draw them and keep them as a souvenir.

Everyone heard that there was something as high-end as watercolor painting, and they were indeed eager to see it.

So the four siblings went to the county town, first going to the post office to send a package.

Wan Fen, the post office worker, saw the little girl sending so many things and exclaimed, “The person receiving the package must be overjoyed.”

Jiang Zhizhi felt a little embarrassed.

After all, this was the first time she was sending things to her brothers, and she had prepared so much without realizing it.

Wan Fen took a stamp from the table, just as she was about to tear it open, she was suddenly interrupted by the little girl.

“What’s wrong?”

“I’ll buy this stamp.” Jiang Zhizhi’s eyes sparkled, she said with a smile, “Sister Wan, this stamp is so pretty, I also want to keep it to send letters myself.”

This was a “Red All Over the Country” stamp!

Her family, they had struck gold!

In Jiang Zhizhi’s heart, misprints meant scarcity, scarcity meant value.

In the future, a “Red All Over the Country” stamp in good condition could be auctioned for one hundred and thirty-five thousand yuan!

Fortunately, she had watched videos about this, otherwise she would have missed out today!

She guessed that the county post office was in a remote area and hadn’t had time to collect them, so they had four left to sell.

Jiang Zhizhi’s little abacus was clicking away, she had bought Maotai, she had bought stamps, was a courtyard house far behind?

The more she thought about it, the happier she became, Jiang Zhizhi’s little face was flushed, looking at the four stamps as if they were gold.

Wan Fen smiled and agreed, “I knew you little girls like red things, you can buy them.”

Wan Fen thought to herself, some people come to the post office to send things frequently, they’re used to seeing stamps and don’t find them rare anymore.

Some people might be sending a letter for the first time and buying stamps, they get excited, it’s normal.

Eight cents for a stamp, eight cents for happiness, not bad.

Jiang Zhizhi didn’t know what Wan Fen was thinking, if she did, her smile would probably reach her ears.

You don’t understand my joy.

The three brothers saw this and their hearts settled.

Their sister’s smile was too familiar, it felt like her moment of brilliance was about to arrive.

Wan Fen packed up the package Jiang Zhizhi was sending, noticing her gaze towards the mailbox, she smiled, “After you write your letter, stick the stamp on it, and then put the letter in the mailbox.”

“When my child came to send a letter for the first time, his eyes were exactly like yours, like a puppy seeing a bone.”

“But he wrote articles himself and sent them to the newspaper for publication, sometimes he’s lucky and his articles get published, and he can earn some money.”

Wan Fen was genuinely happy, she couldn’t help but show off her son.

Jiang Zhizhi raised a big smile, “Sister Wan, your son is promising, he has a strong pen, he’s obviously a person who will do great things, it seems like you’re going to enjoy the good life!”

“I wonder what kind of articles the newspaper is accepting these days?”

Wan Fen was touched by the little girl’s words!

Her proudest moment in life was giving birth to a filial and cultured son.

Wan Fen put down the pen in her hand and winked at Jiang Zhizhi.

Jiang Zhizhi’s mind worked fast, she knew Wan Fen was deliberately teasing her, and her face immediately took on a curious expression.

Wan Fen’s vanity was satisfied, and she began to say:

“I have a relative who works at the provincial newspaper, he said that these days, everyone likes to read articles and comic books.

For articles, it’s best to avoid those that can’t be written, otherwise they won’t pass the review.

Especially those comic books, they have pictures and text, and they’re very popular.

As long as the drawings are good, you can also send them to the publishing house in Beijing, they’ll publish them directly if they like them.

Some people really like to look at picture books, they can look at them for a whole day, and they treasure them very much.”

Jiang Zhizhi was even happier, she was internally shouting “I’ve struck gold!”

She asked Wan Fen for the newspaper’s contact information and address.

Why not have another way to make money?

Who would complain about having too much money?

The brothers heard Jiang Zhizhi’s words and their eyes lit up with excitement, they couldn’t help but laugh.

They all thought of the drawing Zhizhi had done today.

Jiang Zhizhi happily walked out of the post office, she even praised, “Sister Wan, thank you so much.

If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have known that comic books are so awesome.”

Wan Fen, who had been labeled as a good person, was full of question marks, she felt a little sour.

No, no, why is this child so confident?

Drawing and writing articles aren’t that easy.

Her son had written dozens of articles before one was accepted by the newspaper!

I don’t want to discourage you.

……..

Meanwhile.

In the military district.

Jiang looked longingly at the calendar hanging on the wall, he sighed softly, “Why is time going by so slowly?”
