048 [Cumbersome long-distance call] Ask for tickets
Everyone is in the same dormitory, if nothing else, they will have to live together in the next few years, plus Li Yange's initiative, Fang Yuanchao let go a little, the two introduced each other, he asked in surprise: "Are you from Sichuan Province?" ”
"That's right, from Rongcheng, Sichuan Province." Li Yange was a little surprised by Fang Yuanchao's reaction, what's wrong with being from Sichuan Province? Questions?
"I don't think your accent is very similar, Mandarin is very standard, and there is a bit of a northern accent."
"Maybe it's because my ancestors are northerners, and maybe they're genetically inherited."
In her previous life, Li Yange lived in Beijing for more than ten years, and it is normal for her to change a little in her accent when she comes back from rebirth.
"Your ancestors were also northerners? Where? ”
Speaking of this, Fang Yuanchao was stunned and said: "Your name is Li Yange, Yan Zhao is sad, it won't be Beijing, right?" ”
"I don't know about this, after all, it was hundreds of years ago, and no one can tell."
Li Yange shrugged his shoulders, his ancestors were indeed northerners, and he had heard his grandfather say that it seemed that because of the drought in the north in a certain year, his family moved to the area of Jingzhou now, and later the war was forced to move to Sichuan Province, so far he has taken root.
"It's true, hundreds of years ago." Fang Yuanchao nodded, and suddenly asked, "Then can you hear where I'm from?" ”
"You?"
"yes, where does my accent sound like?"
"Shaanxi's."
"You can hear that! I thought my Mandarin was standard enough! ”
Fang Yuanchao's eyes widened and he couldn't believe that Li Yange guessed it right once, you must know that he speaks Mandarin very standardly, if he doesn't deliberately speak Shaanxi dialect, ordinary people can't tell where he is from.
"I'm just guessing." Li Yange laughed, he had been in the same bedroom with Fang Yuanchao for a few years, and he often had contact after graduation, how could he not know where Fang Yuanchao was.
"Awesome! That's all guessed! ”
Fang Yuanchao gave a thumbs up, it was impossible to guess so accurately, he must have heard that he had a Shaanxi accent in his Mandarin.
The two were chatting while packing their bags in the dormitory, and before they knew it, it was noon.
Fang Yuanchao was also familiar with Li Yange at this time, and patted his shoulder very boldly and said, "Go Yange, I'll take you to the cafeteria to eat!" ”
He came yesterday and has already been to the cafeteria.
…………
The cafeteria of Yangyin is not large, divided into two floors, unlike the later generations, teachers and students are specialized, and all students and teachers eat together.
Nowadays, there is no canteen contract system, and the school is responsible for all the meals of teachers and students, although there are fewer types of dishes, but the quality is very good, not only delicious but also affordable.
"I'm here to please! Today, we met on the first day, and then we will be brothers in the same dormitory, and it may be a little difficult to go out for a meal, but I still invite the food in the cafeteria! ”
After a morning of conversation, the two are also familiar with each other, Fang Yuanchao changed his shy and introverted attitude when they met for the first time, snatched Li Yange's lunch box, and handed it to the rice master inside, while also boldly taking out a national food stamp and a dollar.
Seeing that he had paid the money and food stamps, Li Yange did not refuse, and nodded with a smile and thanked: "Okay, then thank you Brother Fang!" I'll invite you next time. ”
"That's all easy to say!"
Fang Yuanchao took the two beaten lunch boxes and beckoned Li Yange to sit down in an empty seat where no one was.
Today's food in the canteen is quite rich, there are meat and vegetables, and there is enough oil and water, Fang Yuanchao killed a box of meals in three or two clicks, and if he didn't eat enough, he went to the canteen to add some rice.
Li Yange didn't have much appetite because he took the train in the morning, but he also ate a box of lunch, and there was no waste, this year is not like the era when food was richer and the economy was controlled in later generations, no one could waste it, even if you spent money to buy it.
After eating, on the way back to the dormitory, Li Yange asked, "Brother Fang, do you know where to make long-distance calls?" ”
Fang Yuanchao said: "Do you want to fight back to your hometown?" Then you have to go to the post and telecommunications office, I went yesterday afternoon, if you want to go, I'll take you there in the afternoon. ”
"No need, I'll just go alone."
"Then what's the matter, you first came to Beijing, I have been staying for a day, go back and put down the lunch box, and I will accompany you to the post and telecommunications office."
Fang Yuanchao was so enthusiastic, Li Yange couldn't refuse, and responded with a smile.
The two returned to the dormitory after a short time, washed their lunch boxes, packed up, changed a set of clothes, and walked out of the school gate and walked in the direction of the post and telecommunications office.
…………
In the 80s, if you want to make a long-distance call, it is not as simple as in later generations, and in the era when the telephone network has not yet been fully popularized, you can only go to the post and telecommunications office to manually transfer through the long-distance station.
It is necessary to let the long-distance station of the Beijing Post and Telecommunications Bureau call the long-distance station of Rongcheng, and then let the long-distance station of Rongcheng call the first woolen factory, and then ask the people of the first woolen factory to notify Dong Qiuhua who is working, and then finally connect the two parties after layers of broadcasting.
"Hey, Mom!"
Finally got in touch with Dong Qiuhua, as soon as Li Yange said the first sentence, he heard a squeaky noise in the microphone, and then his mother Dong Qiuhua's voice came, "Hey, hey?" Is it Yan Ge? ”
"Yes, it's my mom!"
"Arrived in Beijing?"
"Yes, I'm in Beijing."
The two of them only said a few words, and Fang Yuanchao, who was accompanying them, reminded him: "Hurry up, you will get more than a dollar this minute!" ”
"Mom, I've already signed up at school, you go back and tell your parents, I'm fine, okay, don't say much, I'll write to you when I go back, this long-distance phone call is very expensive." By the way, Mom, do you remember to tell Sister Shaojun next door that I have arrived in Beijing. ”
Click!
After saying it in one breath, Li Yange hung up the phone directly.
Fang Yuanchao saw that he hung up the phone, breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Fortunately, you said it quickly enough, otherwise this phone bill would be terrible." Haven't made a long trip, have you? Remember to make long-distance calls in the future, you must speak fast, it's best not to call if you're not in a hurry, it's expensive to die, it's better to write a registered letter, slow is slow, but save money! ”
"Yes, the first time I played, I remembered it later."
Li Yange smiled, he really forgot that long-distance calls were expensive in these years, and he should be free to roam across the country in later generations.
In the past, as soon as he paid the money, the good guy didn't say anything for two minutes, so he received Li Yange thirteen yuan, and when he asked, he knew that the transferred money had to be counted on his head.
"Finished calling? Let's go, let's go back to school, it's not too early. ”
It took half an hour just to wait for the call, and then it took about ten minutes for the tedious manual transfer, and a phone call came down, only talking about a minute, but it took almost an hour.
Originally, I wanted to make a phone call to the art troupe to report to Cheng Shaojun that he was safe, but in this case, he still asked his mother to convey it, in addition to the 150 yuan given by his parents and the living expenses of the national food stamps, he also earned more than 500 yuan from the training class.
It must be more than enough to make a long-distance call with so much money, but now the prices in Beijing are also high, and there are many places where you need to spend money, Li Yange doesn't want to waste money on this, so she should write a few registered letters after returning to school.
It's a little slower, but it's cheaper!
