Chapter 4 Maintenance of telephones
After seeing the scene in front of him, Wang Feng took advantage of the night and hurriedly trotted all the way into the hall that was still the mourning hall, and quickly packed up the remains of his parents, as well as the two bouquets of chrysanthemums that were about to wither, and some other offerings, and cleaned the entire hall clean.

When Wang Feng finished cleaning up with a sweat, he suddenly remembered that he had not locked the gate of the courtyard from the inside when he jumped into the cellar in the courtyard. That is, during the time he was away, it was very likely that someone would break in by pushing open the gate of the courtyard without permission.
So, Wang Feng didn't say a word, hurriedly walked into his bedroom room, pushed open the door and saw that the waste and discarded scientific and technological products that occupied nearly half of the room were still there.
Immediately after, Wang Feng took out a bunch of keys from the drawer, and the locks on the doors of all the rooms in the house could be opened, and when he was sitting on the chair in the room, he decided to leave this forty-year-old modern world where he lived alone, so he stood up, walked out of the room, locked the doors of all the rooms in the house, and locked the courtyard door with his hand.
In Wang Feng's opinion, he came in a hurry this time, in case his parents, who might have finished work early, and the people who came to visit or borrow things at night, found that if there was no one at home, it would be a big trouble, and he had to rush back early.
As for this forty-year-old modern world, in Wang Feng's mind, anyway, even when his parents were alive, they rarely interacted with their neighbors, and there would be no neighbors who came to visit the door all year round, and as for relatives thousands of miles away who had not been in touch for many years, naturally they would not come to them.
Because in the eyes of relatives, their family of three was already very poor, and they couldn't borrow any money, so the relationship slowly became estranged.
Therefore, Wang Feng can rest assured and boldly leave his defeated forty-year-old modern world, he suddenly disappeared without anyone caring about himself, and he will not attract anyone's attention at all, even the aunts of the neighborhood committee who enthusiastically wanted to give Wang Feng a subsistence allowance but were repeatedly rejected by him, were too lazy to help Wang Feng, an old man who had been unemployed at home for more than 20 years.
After thinking about it for a long time, Wang Feng, who was standing next to the cellar, squatted down and went down into the cellar. When he reached the bottom of the cellar, he fainted again and woke up, climbed up, and returned to the world he had been twenty years old again.
Even in the yard of his own house, even if his parents had already gone to work the night shift in the factory two or three miles away, and he was the only one left at home, but Wang Feng, who had been away for more than an hour, was a little weak-hearted. Only then did he reach out and stroke his chest, which was pounding his heartbeat, and let out a long sigh of relief.
Wang Feng, who was relieved, saw that it was not early, but he didn't eat dinner, his stomach suddenly rumbled at this time, and suddenly, the hunger hit like a wave of tide.
Wang Feng, who dragged his tired and hungry body, walked into the kitchen reflexively, and after pulling the switch rope of the incandescent lamp behind the kitchen door, the switch "clicked", and the incandescent light on the roof of the hanging boy kitchen suddenly emitted an orange light.
After rummaging through the entire kitchen where things can be stored, such as on the stove, in the iron pot, on the cutting board, on the cook, etc., there is no ready-made food to eat.
Wang Feng, who found nothing, had to turn off the lights and walked out of the kitchen in disappointment, standing in the courtyard, involuntarily complaining about his parents who did not prepare dinner for him. Although his current appearance is twenty years old, his thoughts are still forty years old, since he was unemployed and started an old otaku at home, as long as his parents don't go out to run errands, every meal will be left in the pot for him, and this time, Wang Feng, who has no dinner to eat, is naturally in a bad mood.
In fact, during the day, Zhao Xueqin gave Wang Feng ten yuan when she opened him, and she didn't see Wang Feng come back before dark, and she didn't go to Wang Feng's room to look for him.
felt that if he cooked too much, Wang Feng would waste it if he ate it outside, and in the eyes of the husband and wife who had experienced the Great Famine, wasting food was a shameful thing. In addition, their family was not very wealthy in the first place, so they developed the habit of thrift and thrift, and only cooked for the two of them before going to work at night, and after eating, they hurriedly went to the night shift in the factory in the fire area.
Wang Feng, who was standing in the courtyard and complaining about not making dinner for himself, suddenly remembered that during the day, his mother gave him ten yuan. So, Wang Feng, who was so hungry that his chest was pressed against his back, decided to take ten yuan to Aunt Xu's commissary to buy two packs of five cents of Sanxian instant noodles, and boil the water to eat the noodles himself.
After thinking of this, Wang Feng quickly reached out and touched the pocket on the side of his big pants, and saw that the ten-yuan note was not thrown away by him going up and down the cellar back and forth, so he walked out of the gate of the courtyard and hurried to the commissary opened by Aunt Xu at the mouth of the alley forty meters away.
"Aunt Xu, Aunt Xu, are you there? I'm here to sell your stuff. Wang Feng, who trotted all the way into the commissary, stood in front of the counter and didn't find Aunt Xu's shadow, so he shouted weakly at the orange lit back room of the commissary.
"Come, come, Xiaofeng, it's so late, you came to Aunt Xu's commissary to buy something, you said I'll get it for you." Aunt Xu, who hurriedly came out of the orange lit back room of the commissary, was a little fat in her own body, and after standing opposite Wang Feng across the counter, she reached out and wiped the fine beads of sweat on her forehead, and said with a smile.
"Aunt Xu, I want two packs of three fresh instant noodles to give you money." After Wang Feng saw Aunt Xu, who was sweating profusely, he felt that he seemed to have come at the wrong time, so he quickly took out the ten-yuan bill that he was holding in the palm of his hand and was already sweating from the pocket on the side of his big pants, handed it to Aunt Xu, and whispered.
"Look at you, this kid, aren't you just going to come to Aunt Xu to buy two packs of three fresh instant noodles, what's so embarrassing about this." After Aunt Xu took the ten-yuan note from Xiao Feng's hand, she smiled and sighed.
Immediately afterwards, standing in the counter, she turned around, took two packs of Sanxian instant noodles from the shelves next to the wall, turned around and put them on the counter in front of her, opened the drawer on the side of the counter, put the ten-yuan banknote in it, and ordered another ten one-dollar banknotes from inside and handed them to Wang Feng, who was standing outside the counter, and said: "Two packs of three fresh convenience packets, one pack of five dimes, and two packs are one dollar." Just now, Xiaofeng, you gave me a ten-yuan note, which is the nine yuan I found for you, and you took it. Go back and take me to say hello to your parents. ”
"Okay, Aunt Xu, thank you, then I'll go." Wang Feng hurriedly picked up the two packs of Sanxian instant noodles on the counter with one hand, and then waited for a few seconds, then stretched out his other hand and took the nine one-dollar bills he was looking for from Aunt Xu's hand.
"Look at you, what are you polite to your aunt. This child, who has been in college for two years, has become much more sensible and obedient than before, and has become more and more polite, it seems that this college student is different. When Aunt Xu saw Wang Feng bowing slightly to herself, she immediately praised her with praise without hesitation.
Wang Feng, who was holding two packs of Sanxian instant noodles in one hand and kicking in his money pocket with the other hand, was about to turn around and leave, when suddenly he caught a glimpse of the public telephone landline that was originally placed on the side of the counter. This morning, he came to see the old-fashioned telephone landline, and it was less than a day's work, and it was gone, which made Wang Feng puzzled, so he was stunned and stopped moving forward.
"Xu, Aunt Xu, you, why is the telephone in your store missing, in the morning, my mother still answered the phone from you?" Wang Feng, who was puzzled, hesitated for two seconds before asking.
"Xiaofeng, don't mention it. Don't you say that Aunt Xu I haven't come yet, I am angry when you say this, don't you know, this afternoon, several people came to me to call, but I don't know what, after making three calls, the phone is not energized, the plugs on it are all sturdy, there is no problem at all, but there is no electricity. It's only been a year since I installed this phone, and it's broken down four or five times.
"This motor is broken, I'll let your old Uncle Li (Aunt Xu's husband) show me the commissary, I rode a bicycle to take the broken telephone to the telecommunications bureau, but the person in charge of maintenance did not come today, the salesman said that the person who repaired the telephone took four or five days off, I just put it there for a while and a half and couldn't fix it, so I had to take it back. No, your old Uncle Li and I have been tinkering with it for most of the day after the back room was dismantled. No, we were both sweating profusely and didn't know how to fiddle with it.
"Xiaofeng, after your mother answered the call from his hometown this morning, she told me that there will be a call from there in the next two days, let me pay attention to it. You see, my phone is broken, it's not time, you can explain my situation here to your mother for me, and if she has something urgent to contact her hometown, go call elsewhere. After Aunt Xu heard Wang Feng's inquiry, she was holding her stomach and had nowhere to talk, so she immediately confided in Wang Feng.
"Aunt Xu, my major in college is communication engineering, I have been studying for two years, and I have actually operated how to disassemble the telephone in the professional class I have studied. If you believe me, you might as well ask me to give it a try, and maybe I can fix that broken phone for you. After listening to Aunt Xu's eloquent words, Wang Feng thought that he had misunderstood Aunt Xu just now, and he gradually became a little dirty. At the same time, he thought that if this phone was not repaired, he might not be able to answer the call from his mother's hometown, and after hesitating for a moment in his heart, he raised his head, mustered up courage, and volunteered to recommend himself.
"Xiaofeng, if that's the case, it would be great. Anyway, this phone has been broken several times, and your old Uncle Li and I have dismantled him, if it can't be repaired, forget it, it's a big deal to buy a new phone in a few days. Xiaofeng, don't worry, if you can't fix it, Aunt Xu won't let you pay for it, otherwise, you go in and help Aunt Xu and your Uncle Li try to repair the telephone. As soon as Aunt Xu heard that Wang Feng studied this in college, and he also had practical experience, he who had no idea where to start with his wife, suddenly seemed to have met a savior, and was very happy, and immediately patted his chest to assure Wang Feng that he would not be compensated if he broke it, and sent out an invitation.
