The village chief laughed, and suddenly said seriously: "You don't have to worry about the fee. As long as you pay the landline fee every month, you can pay as many calls as you want, and go to the post and telecommunications office to pay it yourself. As for answering the phone, it's free anyway, you can figure it out." That’s it.”
Nian Jian'an was ecstatic when he heard this. It turned out that luck could not stop him. This not only facilitated the masses, but also facilitated himself. Why not do it?
I did what I said and went to move the phone overnight. Several people who came to see the car were also very enthusiastic and came to help, lifting ladders and arranging cables. Anyway, it’s just a matter of one wire, and the road is not far away, the village office is diagonally opposite, and the wire first passes through Zheng Bajin’s house before reaching the village office. Now it's fine, you don't need to cut off the saved thread, just wrap it in a circle and tie it up casually.
The village chief personally helped move the phone over and placed it in Zheng Bajin's canteen.
Nian Jian'an left him and a few helping villagers here to eat. The village chief said no, he still had something to do. He suddenly remembered something and said hurriedly: "I forgot to mention it just now. If someone from above calls the village office, what should I do?" Please be sure to pick up the call and let me know. If it’s something important, I need you to go there in person.”
Nian Jian'an nodded and said, "That's natural. You can rest assured." What he was thinking was, what would happen?
The other people looking at the car were just being polite, since it would be inconvenient to eat at someone else's house if nothing happened.
The key is that they are all young people, and Zheng Bajin is not here, so it is not convenient to eat with an old man and a pregnant woman.
By the way, there is also Xiaocao, who is a primary school student, and now he has learned to cook by himself.
Sure enough, a child from a poor family would be the head of the family early. No, although she didn't have a home here, her brother-in-law's family had plenty of money, and a child without a mother was like a piece of grass.
Xiaocao was the happiest person when she saw that the phone was installed. I go to school tomorrow and can spend a long time playing with my classmates.
However, she soon discovered that this thing had no effect on her, it was just a decoration, and she had no idea who to call.
I wanted to call my sister and have a chat, but I didn’t have clear contact information.
At this moment, the phone rang suddenly, which startled Xiaocao. Why was the sound so harsh?
Nian Jian'an was the first to react and was busy coming over to answer the phone. Xiaocao had already answered it. Even chatting with a stranger in this new thing was a novel feeling.
"Hello, please call me Nian Jian'an." A woman's voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Nian Jian'an?" Xiaocao suddenly became nervous, thinking that her other mother was coming to the door. To be honest, although my biological mother was kind to me, she only knew how to gamble in a day and never really cared about her at all. At this moment, I felt that she was not as practical as Zhang Xiao'e, the stepmother who always gave her sweets.
After confirming that the other party had not found the wrong person, Xiaocao asked cautiously, "Why are you looking for my dad?"
"Your dad?" the other party asked strangely. He was stunned and tried to ask, "Are you Xiaocao?"
"Yes, I am Xiaocao, how do you know?" Xiaocao asked strangely, as long as she is not her biological mother.
"Xiaocao, are you still at the village office so late? No, how could you answer the phone? I'm my sister, you didn't hear about it?" The call turned out to be from Qingqing.
"Oh, sister, let me tell you some good news. From now on, this phone number belongs to our family. If you need anything, call me. I can also call you. I miss you so much. Are you happy now?"
Xiaocao's series of questions made Qingqing stunned. After a few seconds, she digested the meaning of her words and said happily: "Why is the phone at our house?"
"I just installed it today. By the way, as soon as I installed it, my sister called me. I'm so happy." As soon as Xiaocao started talking, she couldn't stop at all. She really wanted to tell her sister everything she knew.
Nian Jian'an felt a little sad about Qingqing's phone bill. He hurriedly grabbed the phone and asked, "Qingqing, what's the matter?"
In his understanding, Qingqing rarely called the village office. In the past, if anything happened, he would always call Zheng Bajing. Now, if he called suddenly, something must be wrong. He must not delay the business.
"Something really happened. I originally wanted to wait for Zheng Bajin to come back and tell you in person. However, he is very busy right now and has been away for several days. There is no phone number in their factory, so I can't contact him. It's easy." Qingqing complained twice, and Nian Jian'an heard it and wanted to persuade her to go to Chunkun to develop together. Then there was someone to take care of her. In fact, she was asked to watch Zheng Bajin.
A good-looking man like him, who is also rich, is the easiest to tease and provoke some young girls.
However, I felt that something was wrong. Zheng Bajin did not live in Chunkun. He always ran in both directions. It was a bit difficult for Qingqing to keep an eye on him.
He had no choice but to advise her: "If you are busy, a man should work harder when he is young. Otherwise, he will accomplish nothing when he gets old, just like your father and I. I feel sorry for myself, you and Xiaocao."
"No, that's not what I meant. I didn't blame him for being too busy, but I really have something to tell you. The cars that Zheng Bajin put in Qiucheng are very popular, and it seems that the supply exceeds the demand. According to this calculation, In a few days, they will be sold out." Qingqing heard that Nian Jian'an had misunderstood what he meant, and hurriedly explained, "What I mean is, if the bicycles in Shili Village are not easy to sell, just bring them to the city. Come. You focus on taking care of the canteen, now Zhang..."
At this point, Qingqing stopped. For a moment, she didn't know if she wanted to say that Zhang Xiaoma was pregnant and had difficulty moving, so you could take better care of her, or was she talking about Zhang Xiao'e?
Anyway, it’s inappropriate to say it.
Nian Jian'an naturally knew her embarrassment and did not dare to ask her daughter to call Zhang Xiao'e "little mom". It was inappropriate to call her by her first name, so he expressed her doubts himself: "Don't worry, Xiao'e is fine. It's easy to move around now. If it doesn’t work by then, ask your mother-in-law to take care of it. By the way, the bicycles in Shili Village are also very popular. In just a few days, more than 20 bicycles were sold, even in the neighboring villages. People come here because of it.”
"Oh, that's good." Qingqing listened and was silent for a few seconds.
She also did not expect that bicycles would become a hot commodity between urban and rural areas. It seems that now that everyone has money, they all want to experience the life of city people, and they always carry a bicycle when going to the toilet.
"By the way, this phone is managed by the village office, and there is no installation fee. Zheng Bajin is in Chunkun. At least you can persuade him to set up a phone so that he can communicate in time if there is any situation." Nian Jian'an said, thinking, the key is The couple is still young and has no children yet, so they are most vulnerable to being taken advantage of. If you have a phone, you can also communicate on the phone when you are lonely and unbearable at night.
Unfortunately, it is too expensive to install a telephone now. It is said to cost several thousand, which is the income of an ordinary family in several years.
