Chapter 52: Telephone

......A series of crisp sounds echoed in Jiang Xiaoya's bedroom, the porcelain pig was smashed to pieces, and there were dozens of one-yuan coins with peony patterns stored in it, and she picked up the coins scattered on the ground one by one.

Then, Jiang Xiaoya poured out all the things in the stationery bag, stuffed the coins and stationery into it, and walked to the place where the bicycle was parked with her, and put it in the crate.

"Erya, why are you going?" Gao Qingzhen heard the movement and looked over, only to find that her daughter was pushing the car and planning to leave.

"I... I'm going to buy a bottle of soy sauce and run some errands along the way, maybe I'll be back later!" Jiang Xiaoya, who was petite, stood on the bicycle and pedaled hard, riding towards the town.

"Eh, Erya, what are you doing, tell me clearly?"

Jiang Xiaoya didn't look back, "It's none of your business~~"

"Why is it so expensive?" said an elderly woman who listened to the price told by the shopkeeper after teaching the shopkeeper how to make a phone call, feeling that it was too expensive.

"Auntie, you're taking a long-distance job, it's not cheap! If it's too expensive, you can send a letter!"

In the end, the old woman still took out a lot of change from her pocket, one cent, five cents, one dime, and one piece, and made up the cost of this call.

I waited for a long time next to the door of the store, and finally heard someone calling, knowing the price, so I timidly walked to the counter, and I didn't say anything for a long time.

"Little girl, I see you've been waiting at the door for a long time, just tell me what you want to buy!" The owner of the shop is a bald man in his thirties with an obese body, and this shop is just across the street from the high school, mainly to buy some snacks and toys that students like.

There's also this phone.,The town's high school is relatively good.,The junior high school students in the county are basically not going to the county seat.,It's going here.,There's still a lot of people calling.,The shopkeeper has seen a lot of this kind of timid girl.,I haven't used the phone.,I don't know how.,Helpless.。

"How do you use this?" Jiang Xiaoya asked in a low voice, pointing to the most conspicuous red phone on the glass counter.

"Call the market, that is, the other party is still in our city, charge you five cents a minute, call a long distance, that is, a far away, charge you two yuan a minute, if someone calls to answer the phone, I will also charge an electricity bill, two cents a minute. ”

The bald man felt that the price was relatively low around, mainly because the students didn't have that much money, and the booking was too high, so no one came.

"I want to call this number!" The back of the written line paper copied the phone number attached to the letter sent back by the eldest brother, which she had memorized, and it came in handy.

"Oh~ from the capital, this is a long distance! Have you brought the money, have you thought about what to say?"

Jiang Xiaoya opened the stationery bag in her hand, took out the coins and sorted them out and folded them on the counter, the man estimated the number, had a rough idea, and said, "I'll dial it for you!"

"Toot ~~T ~ ~ T ~~"

"Ahh

Qin Yi lay on the sofa and took a nap blowing the electric fan, only to be woken up by the ringtone of the phone, "Hey, hello, who are you looking for?"

In the past, she would have asked, "Who are you?"

Since the sharing of the house, there have been a lot of calls to her, so it has become the way it is now.

"Huh?" Jiang Xiaoya was suddenly confused, how could it be a big sister who answered the phone.

"Hello sister, I'm looking for Jiang Yizhou, I'm his sister Jiang Xiaoya!"

Qin Yi put down the phone and ran to Jiang Yizhou's room to confirm that he didn't come back quietly while he was asleep, and ran back again, "Your brother doesn't seem to be there, but he should be back before dinner! ”

Today is Saturday, as roommates, they often get together for dinner, so as not to be more than ten meters apart, but the embarrassing situation of being unfamiliar with each other, today I had made an appointment to have a meal together in the afternoon.

"Oh so!" Jiang Xiaoya hung up the phone with some frustration, and after thinking about it, she usually meets after dinner and dinner, and now it's past one o'clock in the afternoon, she should have gone out to work early!

"Click~" The man took the microphone from the stunned little girl's hand and helped her hang up the phone, "Long-distance is very expensive, do you know that you are a waste of money!"

He took out the four dollars from the girl's money, and turned his head to receive other guests.

Jiang Xiaoya put away the coins, held the stationery bag, and the letter paper and walked to the bicycle parked outside, sat in the back seat, and waited for the reply from the woman on the other end of the phone.

……

"Your college entrance examination results should come out, right? Can you get into which school?" Jiang Yizhou sat in the gazebo, chatting with Fang Chang, as for the reason, it is natural that he has a father who works in the telecommunications bureau, in this era, the telecommunications bureau is simply grabbing money, and the cost of Internet access is more expensive than making a phone call, although it has been slowly declining, but it is still unbearable.

"What are you talking about? I've only finished the exam for two weeks, how can I get my scores so quickly? I guess the exam papers haven't been judged yet!" Fang Chang was quite speechless for this teacher and friend who lacked common sense, isn't this something that everyone knows about the college entrance examination in July?

"Huh?" Jiang Yizhou reacted at this time, the college entrance examination seemed to be held in June in 03, "I'm confused, but you are so good that you shouldn't be afraid of failing the exam, by the way, what do you think of the software I copied for you?"

He looked at Fang Chang quite expectantly, Fang Chang was a little hairy when he saw it, "That WTK, it feels very useful, but the name is too bad, WTK always reminds me of what, the, f**k, why did you come up with such a stinky name?"

Jiang Yizhou resisted the urge to twitch his face, "That's the homonym of wetalk!"

"I think this name is more like my guess, I don't believe you ask other people's first reaction!" Fang Chang complained, "My dad also used it, I think it's very good, and he said that he has never seen such a software product!

"Really, really?" Jiang Yizhou suddenly became excited, "What else did your father say?"

"That's all that you say, what else do you want?" Fang Chang looked at him strangely.

In the end, Jiang Yizhou was grim-faced, and said that he would visit Fang Chang's house next time, and would not give Fang Chang a chance to refute.

"Oh, you're back!" Qin Yi looked at the TV and reclined on the sofa, "It seems that there is your phone, saying that it is your sister, but it has been three hours, and I copied the number in the phone book!"
