Chapter 11 The Young Master of the Well-off Family! Iron Brother Wu Jinmin
I got up in the morning, because Zhang Dequan's work hours were in the afternoon and evening. So all morning, Zhang Dequan didn't have anything specific to do, and he needed to do it. Zhang Dequan, who has nothing to do, just clean up, wash clothes or something.
Then, he sorted out his suitcase, and when Zhang Dequan was sorting out his things, he saw the notebook used to remember the phone number, so he flipped through it casually.
Suddenly, Zhang Dequan saw in the phone book that the good buddy --- Wu Jinmin's phone number. At this time, Zhang Dequan remembered that he had been in contact with Wu Jinmin for a while.
At this time, Zhang Dequan decided to go to the commissary downstairs and call Wu Jinmin to reminisce about the old days and contact friendship. Ask him how he's doing. Because he was making long-distance calls, if he used his current mobile phone, the phone bill would still be quite expensive. So he chose to go to the commissary downstairs and call Wu Jinmin by landline.
Wu Jinmin was Zhang Dequan's classmate and table mate in high school, and he played very well. Wu Jinmin's parents are both government officials who work in public institutions in the county, his mother works in the Education Bureau, and his father works in the Land Bureau. Compared with Zhang Dequan, Wu Jinmin is a child of a wealthy family, at least from childhood to adulthood, he has no worries about food and clothing.
Zhang Dequan has also been to Wu Jinmin's house several times, and Wu Jinmin's parents are very kind people. They did not dislike Zhang Dequan because he was from the countryside, just like many urban people look down on rural people.
Every time Zhang Dequan went, they would receive him warmly. The conditions in Wu Jinmin's family are okay in their small county. Their family lives in one of the few communities in the county, and their family has a three-bedroom house.
Although Wu Jinmin's family conditions are relatively good, his academic performance is not very good. In fact, people are still quite smart, but they are more playful and don't like to learn much, plus their county is relatively poor, and the teaching quality of the school itself is not very good.
If you want to be admitted to university, most of them have to rely on yourself, and if your learning foundation is not particularly good. It is also very difficult to make a relatively big improvement in the three years of high school.
In the end, Wu Jinmin was not admitted to the university, in fact, whether he could pass the exam or not, Wu Jinmin didn't care very much. Since he didn't go to school after the college entrance examination, he stayed at home all this time and didn't know what to do. Every day, I can only watch TV at home, or play online games or something, and sometimes go to the streets for a stroll. Anyway, he does the same thing every day, and he feels quite bored himself.
No, Wu Jinmin was watching TV at home when he heard his landline ringing. At first, he wondered who would call him at this time. Don't they know that his parents are at work now, and they have to call their unit if they want to make a call.
If you look closely, it's still a landline number from other places. Wu Jinmin secretly thought, who is this, he has been calling his home all the way, and he has no relatives in other places. It's a long distance, so it's quite expensive.
At the beginning, Wu Jinmin was too lazy to pay attention, so he let the phone ring all the time. If it is a harassing call, the other party will call for a while, and no one answers the phone, and it will definitely hang up.
However, something that surprised Wu Jinmin happened. The phone at his home has been ringing for a long time, listening to the other party's meaning, if he doesn't answer, there is no intention to stop.
"Who are you, did you make the wrong call?" Wu Jinmin, who had endured it for a long time, picked up the phone and said impatiently.
"Wu Jinmin, what's wrong? Are you still sleeping? Look at the way you haven't woken up yet, is it disturbing your sleep? Hearing Wu Jinmin's impatient voice, Zhang Dequan said with a smile on the other end of the phone.
"Who are you? How do you know my name?" Wu Jinmin asked very puzzled after listening to the voice on the other end of the phone.
"It's me, Zhang Dequan. You won't forget about me, will you?" Hearing Wu Jinmin's doubts, Zhang Dequan said that he was also puzzled.
"It turned out to be you, who did I think it was? Where are you now? Why are you still using a landline phone from other places to call me, aren't you in Hugou Village?" After Wu Jinmin figured it out, he learned that it was Zhang Dequan who called him, and Wu Jinmin at this time was surprised in his heart, and his mood was very happy.
"I came out of the house a month ago. I'm here with my cousin now, and I heard that the economy here is doing better and there are more opportunities here, so I came here to look for a job. By the way, I've got a job now, I've started working. After listening to Wu Jinmin's words, Zhang Dequan explained to Wu Jinmin.
"At first, I never thought that you would call me. I wanted to just unplug the phone, but thankfully I didn't. After knowing that it was Zhang Dequan who called him, Wu Jinmin felt inexplicably amused at the thoughts that flashed in his mind just now.
"If you pull it out, I'm not afraid. If you pull it out, I will call your home every day in the future, and I don't believe that you won't answer. Hearing Wu Jinmin's plan to pull out the phone line, Zhang Dequan said bluntly.
"You've been in the past, it's been so long, why are you calling me now. What's the environment like over there? Is it fun? Is it much more prosperous than our small county? After listening to Zhang Dequan's words, Wu Jinmin at this time began to be interested in the outside world.
"It's definitely better than our county! It's very prosperous, it's just more prosperous than you can imagine. We have a small county town there, you can walk two or three steps to the end, and I haven't reached the end here for a few days. After listening to Wu Jinmin's questioning, Zhang Dequan said in the tone of a passerby.
Zhang Dequan saw these scenes, at least in his eyes. However, for Wu Jinmin, who has seen the world, what Zhang Dequan said to him at this moment, in his heart, is also very yearning.
"Wu Jinmin, do you want to come over and come here to play?" Seeing Wu Jinmin's very interested look, Zhang Dequan continued to say to Wu Jinmin.
"I'll have to think about this again. These days, my dad is looking for me a job and wants me to go to work. After listening to Zhang Dequan's invitation, Wu Jinmin explained.
"Then your father, what kind of job are you looking for? It's in a public institution, the kind that serves an iron rice bowl?" Hearing Wu Jinmin say that his father was looking for a job for Wu Jinmin, Zhang Dequan asked with great interest.
"I don't know yet, but I'm going to have to listen to my dad. What are you doing now?" Hearing Zhang Dequan's question, Wu Jinmin asked Zhang Dequan what he was doing now.
"I'm in the mall right now, selling appliances. Business is still very good, the shopping mall here is big, and there are a lot of people who come to visit every day. There are still a lot of beauties!" After listening to Wu Jinmin's words, Zhang Dequan described his situation here to Wu Jinmin.
………
Zhang Dequan sat in the commissary downstairs, and after chatting with Wu Jinmin for a long time, Zhang Dequan looked at the time on the wall of the commissary. Zhang Dequan realized that the time for work was approaching and he couldn't talk anymore.
Immediately, Zhang Dequan had a plan to hang up the phone.
"That's right, Wu Jinmin. I'm almost up to work here, so I won't talk to you. Zhang Dequan explained to Wu Jinmin.
"Zhang Dequan, I'm looking for you, whether you want to make this call, it's okay. Seeing that Zhang Dequan was about to hang up the phone, Wu Jinmin hurriedly confirmed the contact information with Zhang Dequan.
"You can call this landline, but I also have a mobile phone number, which starts with 136, I'll call you later, and you can remember it then." Hearing Wu Jinmin asking for contact information, Zhang Dequan hurriedly explained to Wu Jinmin.
After hanging up the phone and paying the phone bill, Zhang Dequan used his mobile phone to go to Wu Jinmin's house and make a call. This can be regarded as telling Wu Jinmin his mobile phone number.
Not long after, Zhang Dequan, who was still on his way back to the house, had not yet arrived at the rental house.
Suddenly, a message came from his phone. Zhang Dequan didn't need to look at it to know that it was sent by Wu Jinmin.
However, out of curiosity, Zhang Dequan still took out his mobile phone and looked at the message sent by Wu Jinmin.
"Your mobile phone number, I've received it. This mobile phone number is the number of my current mobile phone, the new mobile phone that my mother just bought me a few days ago. Soon, Wu Jinmin used his new mobile phone to send Zhang Dequan a message back.
"Your mobile phone number, I also received it. We'll talk about it later when we have time. After reading Wu Jinmin's text message, Zhang Dequan also replied with a message to Wu Jinmin.
"Okay, I got it. Wu Jinmin replied with a message.
In this way, Zhang Dequan can be regarded as getting in touch with his good buddy.
After returning to the rental house, Zhang Dequan cleaned up casually and went to work in the mall.
