The time has come to the end of July, and Lin Ping is teaching and arranging to deal with the affairs of the new school.

On this day, Liu Qingmei suddenly found Lin Ping after class and said, "Teacher, I won't come to school these days." ”

Lin Ping looked at Liu Qingmei and asked with a strange expression, "What happened?"

Liu Qingmei lowered her head and said: "Grandma was working in the field yesterday and suffered from heat stroke, and she felt uncomfortable when she came home, and now she can't get up from bed, I want to take a leave of absence to take care of my grandma in the past two days." ”

Liu Qingmei's family has several acres of land, which used to be planted by Liu Qingmei's parents, and after her father went to the city to work, he would come back to farm when he was busy farming, but as Liu Qingmei's father had a good relationship outside, he abandoned his original match, and he did not come back. These few acres of land can only be cultivated by Liu Qingmei's mother herself.

Lin Ping looked at Liu Qingmei and nodded: "Okay, then don't come to class these days, go back and take care of your mother." ”

Liu Qingmei nodded and agreed, "Hmm." ”

Then he went out to go home with Feng Xiao and the others.

Lin Ping suddenly remembered something and called out to Liu Qingmei: "Liu Qingmei, wait a minute." ”

Liu Qingmei turned to look at Lin Ping and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"Come here, the teacher will talk to you about something. Lin Ping greeted Liu Qingmei.

Liu Qingmei walked quickly to Lin Ping's side: "What's the matter?" Teacher Lin, is there something wrong?"

"Then you go back and talk to your mother, let your mother grow something simple and uncaring in the field at home, and then let your mother come to the school to help cook, and I will send it to her every month...... Give her four hundred and fifty dollars. Lin Ping said that four hundred and fifty yuan is the highest monthly salary he can open, because no matter what, Liu Qingmei's mother's salary cannot be higher than Ma Zhongguo's, and a cook is higher than the salary of a teacher, Ma Zhongguo may have no opinion, but the other five teachers must have more or less opinions, and even their enthusiasm for teaching will be reduced because of this.

Liu Qingmei looked at Lin Ping, then nodded and said, "I'll go back and discuss it with my grandmother." ”

Liu Qingmei took two steps and turned back and asked, "Then my study course is going to be delayed for the past few days......

"It's okay," Lin Ping smiled, "Anyway, these days are taking you to preview the knowledge of the first year of high school, and your teacher will tell you again when you get to high school." ”

Liu Qingmei opened her mouth to say something, but she didn't say it.

Lin Ping saw her thoughts and said with a smile: "It's okay, when you come back, I will help you make up for it appropriately." ”

Lin Ping's words dispelled Liu Qingmei's concerns, and she hurriedly bowed and said, "Thank you, teacher!"

The next day, Liu Qingmei did not come to class, and stayed at home to take care of her sick mother.

In the morning, when a class was in progress, someone suddenly shouted at the school gate, Lin Ping and Ma Zhongguo walked to the school gate and looked, only to see three workers in uniform.

"Hello, is there anything wrong?" Lin Ping asked with a smile.

"Are you the head of this school?" said one of the leading ones.

Lin Ping nodded and said, "Yes." ”

The leader said, "That's right, we're here to pull the phone line for you." ”

As he said this, a young man behind him held up the phone box in his hand and shook it with a smile.

After hearing this, Lin Ping hurriedly opened the door and said, "Great, great, thank you so much." ”

"Don't thank us, it's from above. The telecom worker said with a smile.

The three workers were busy pulling the telephone line to Lin Ping's office, and the children were so curious that they looked around them.

With the telephone line in place, the young man wiped his hands and took out the brand new telephone, then placed it on the table to connect the telephone line, and the light on the telephone came on.

As the light of the phone turned on, Lin Ping felt that his heart also lit up.

"I can't use it for two days, but it should be usable in two days. Said the telecom worker.

"Thank you. Lin Ping hurriedly said.

"By the way, this is the phone number of the machine. The telecom worker tore out a note from his notepad and handed it to Lin Ping, "In the future, you can give this phone number to others, and others will be able to call this number." ”

"Well, thank you so much. Lin Ping once again thanked the telecom workers.

"You're so polite, I've never seen someone so polite as you. The telecom worker said with a smile.

"By the way," Lin Ping suddenly remembered something and asked, "Master, can you pull a network cable?"

"What?" the telecom worker was stunned for a moment.

"Ethernet cable, network cable for Internet access. Lin Ping said with a smile.

"Hahaha......"

The three telecom workers looked at each other and laughed.

The leader said, "Young man, are you dreaming?

Another said, "It's just that it's as difficult as pulling a wire from the Pacific Ocean." ”

Finally, the young man also said, "There are not many houses in the town that can pull the Internet cables. ”

Lin Ping was stunned, and then he realized that he was thinking too far ahead and taking it for granted, and said embarrassedly: "It's that I'm thinking too much." ”

The leader smiled and said, "But the town is already under construction, and you may be able to fulfill your wish in another four or five years." ”

"Hmm. Lin Ping nodded.

After sending the telecom workers away, several children kept feeling around the brand-new telephone, and the timid Liu Xiangqian even picked it up and pressed the number there randomly.

"What are you doing!"

Lin Ping shouted loudly, frightened the group of bear children and quickly dispersed.

Lin Ping grabbed Liu Xiangqian: "Did I let you move?"

Liu Xiangqian shrugged his neck and said with a hippie smile: "No ......"

"If you dare to press it again, press it to the police station and let the police arrest you!" Lin Ping scared Liu Xiangqian and said.

Liu Xiangqian shook his head again and again: "Don't dare to move, don't dare to move." ”

"In the future, other people's things are not allowed to move without the permission of the master, understand?" Lin Ping scared Liu Xiangqian with a serious face and even a little fierce, "Mess with other people's things, be careful of someone chopping off your hand!"

Liu Xiangqian looked at Lin Ping's expression and nodded in fright: "Mmmm, teacher, I won't move." ”

Lin Ping let Liu Xiangqian go and asked them to go back to the classroom, when Liu Xiangqian and they walked out of the door, Lin Ping glanced at him and said: "Remember what the teacher told you today, don't mess with other people's things in the future, have you forgotten the piece of chocolate you got last time you went to the city?"

Liu Xiangqian was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head and nodded: "I remember, teacher." ”

Then he turned and walked out.

After watching the children leave, Lin Ping looked at the brand-new telephone, then took a cloth and carefully wiped it off, erasing the handprints on it.

Looking at the flashing lights on the telephone, the appearance of this telephone finally gave Lin Ping the feeling of modern life, otherwise after staying in this mountain for a long time, he always felt that he had returned to the eighties and nineties of the last century, and returned to the era described in the photos and in the mouths of his parents.

And this telephone also allowed Lin Ping to communicate with the outside world more conveniently, no longer relying on the messages sent by the system and the people in the commissary before to run several miles to tell him that there was a phone.
