Hou Dali sighed and said, "I'm just afraid that these people will go to the county to express their opinions, and if the county government changes its mind in the end and demolishes Zhuangyuan Lane, how can I explain it to my ancestors!"

Su Xinghui said, "Uncle Hou, don't worry. This time, the county will definitely not demolish Zhuangyuan Lane."

Hou Dali said, "How do you know? By the way, I almost forgot, you also work in a government department, so your news must be more informed than ours. However, if Zhuangyuan Lane is not demolished, what will happen to these people? They have built so many illegal structures, which is also quite dangerous. I am worried every day. What if there is a fire one day?"

Su Xinghui could, of course, understand Hou Dali's mood. He nodded to show understanding. While talking, the two walked to the entrance of the Hou family. Hou Dali pushed the door open and went in, shouting "I'm back" to the courtyard.

Hou Dali's wife answered in the kitchen. Hou Dali then took Su Xinghui into the inner room, turned on the electric light, opened the cabinet, and moved all his treasures out, telling Su Xinghui to pick as he pleased.

While Su Xinghui was picking, Hou Dali said with a smile, "Little Su, I went to Jiangcheng again last time and bought some good things back. Now, the market is still in a depression, and there are too few big customers like you."

Su Xinghui said, "It's mainly because my friend really likes stamps and doesn't rely on this to do business. Otherwise, with the market being so bad now, he wouldn't dare to buy."

Hou Dali said, "I didn't buy many monkey stamps this time. The circulation of these monkey stamps was small to begin with, and I gave you all my stock last time. However, I bought quite a few stamps this time, which should also be very good, and the appreciation potential is also very great."

The stamps were issued during the period of turmoil. During the period of turmoil, a total of only 19 sets of stamps were issued. The total number of sets was too small, and because of the high consumption when sending letters, the survival rate of these stamps was not high, and they were also relatively valuable later. The full set of new stamps of these 19 sets would be worth at least 200,000 or 300,000 in twenty years, which could be considered very valuable stamps.

Su Xinghui nodded. He followed Hou Dali's finger and flipped to that stamp album. Sure enough, this stamp album was full of stamps. He counted them, and there were about twenty sets of full sets of new stamps, as well as some scattered stamps.

Su Xinghui asked, "Uncle Hou, what is the price for a full set of these stamps?"

Hou Dali said, "360 a set."

Su Xinghui nodded. According to this price, the money he brought could buy all these stamps.

He put the stamp album aside and started flipping through other stamps. The monkey stamps this time were indeed not many, only a dozen or so. In fact, it was already quite good that Hou Dali could take out so many. The monkey stamps Su Xinghui bought last time were quite a lot.

Su Xinghui also found some miniature sheets with relatively high value. As for other stamps, Su Xinghui didn't really look at them. Although the appreciation potential of those stamps was also good, the increase of ten or twenty times was nothing compared to the stamps he picked.

After picking the stamps, Su Xinghui picked silver dollars and copper coins again. This time Hou Dali also bought some new goods. Although there were no particularly precious ones, Su Xinghui picked dozens of them, which were also quite good, at least equivalent to the grade he picked last time.

After picking everything, Su Xinghui asked Hou Dali to calculate the price. Hou Dali calculated it, and the value of the things Su Xinghui bought this time was 15,200 yuan. Su Xinghui paid the money to Hou Dali in full and still asked Hou Dali to write a list and a receipt.

Su Xinghui put all the things into his bag, stood up, and said, "Uncle Hou, then I'll go back."

Hou Dali said, "Why are you in such a hurry to leave? Just eat at my house."

Su Xinghui said, "I'd better go home. It's not easy to come back once, so I have to eat with my family."

Hou Dali nodded in understanding and did not keep Su Xinghui again.

Returning home, Su Xinghui carefully put the things he bought today into his camphor wood box again. After putting these things in, Su Xinghui found that his box was almost full. If he bought anything else next time, it seemed he would have to find another box from his mother.
