183. Do you have a phone?
Sanzang saw that He Yushui and his wife were gone, raised his hand and looked at his watch, there was still a little time before dinner, he came to the study and sat down, thought for a while, and began to pick up the pen to write letters to the old branch of his hometown.
About half an hour later, the letter was written, and Sanzang took 20,000 yuan from the safe in his bedroom and put it in his handbag.
"Daughter-in-law, come here, I'll tell you something." Sanzang came to the kitchen with his bag and saw Jingru explaining things to Xiaomei.
"Huh! Here it comes! What's going on? Jingru gently brushed the hair on her forehead.
"I took 20,000 yuan from the safe and sent it back to my hometown, so that the old branch secretary could build a new primary school in the village, and the rest of the money would be used to improve the treatment of school teachers, give scholarships to children with good academic performance, and subsidize poor children to go to school."
"That's a great thing! I raised my hands in approval. By the way, when are you going to take me back to your hometown? sweep the grave of my father-in-law and mother-in-law, otherwise my daughter-in-law will be too unfilial. ”
"Wood! What a good daughter-in-law of mine, alas, I'll talk about this later! Sanzang kissed Jingru's cheek and shook his head with a wry smile.
"Husband, I'm sorry to mention your sad past." Jingru looked at her husband with a wry smile and shook her head, and began to flood with sympathy.
"It's okay, I'll go to the post and telecommunications office now, and I'll get things done while the staff hasn't closed yet." Sanzang waved his hand, and it was hard to say that he was not sad at all.
"Oh, then you go and come back quickly, I'll wait for you and the children to eat." Jingru knows that only family affection can comfort her husband.
"Hmm!" Sanzang rode his bicycle to the post office on Jingzhao North Street, and as soon as he entered the door, someone greeted him.
"Third uncle, are you here to make a long-distance call again?"
"No, I'm here today to send letters and remittances to my hometown."
"Oh! Then you're busy! ”
"Huh? Xiao Du, you don't charge phone bills now? Sanzang came to the remittance counter and saw that he was still an acquaintance.
"Oh, Third Uncle! My colleague was sick and asked me to come and top it. Are you here to send money? ”
"That's right! This is the address and the recipient's name. Sanzang handed over a piece of paper.
"Okay, show me your work card."
"Give!" Sanzang shook his head with a wry smile and took out his work card from his handbag.
"How much?"
"Twenty thousand."
"Twenty thousand, huh? Twenty thousand! ”
"Yes, I am going to send it back to my hometown to build a primary school in the village, and the rest of the money will improve the living conditions of teachers and children." Sanzang told her that she was defenseless, she had already been a celebrity on this street, and some actions would be seen by people with intentions, so it was better to say it generously.
"Third uncle, you are this!" Xiao Du gave a thumbs up,
"I'll do it for you."
"Thank you! It's over! Sanzang finished the remittance procedures and sent the letter, thought for a while, took his bag to the phone compartment, and dialed a phone number.
"Hey, who are you looking for?" An aunt's voice came from the phone.
"Hello, Auntie, please help me call Cheng Yubo, who lives near you, to answer the phone."
"Wait. Cheng Yubo! Your phone! There was a sound of about 60~70 decibels on the phone, Sanzang hurriedly covered his ears, at this time to call someone to call the street public pager first, and then the other party to help call someone, a call during the day 3 cents, 5 cents at night.
Sanzang looked at his watch, and after about 3 minutes, the phone rang,
"Hello, I'm Cheng Yubo!"
"You're pretty good, what have you been busy with lately? You won't come here for a walk during the summer vacation. ”
"My good man, a little conscience! You're embarrassed to say me, I've been to your house twice and haven't seen you, I heard that you died and fooled around, how about it? Are the girls enthusiastic? Tell me about it. ”
"Mother, Xipi! Why haven't you learned the lesson of being cleaned up by Yu Haitang, you know every day that your mouth is full of chicken feathers. I don't have time to talk nonsense with you, come to my dinner at night, I have something to look for you! ”
"Damn, why don't you say it sooner? Today my family also bought good food. ”
"I also thought of it temporarily, so I'll go to your house to eat?"
"Don't! Let's go to your house, your house is a restaurant dish, it's delicious. ”
"Look at your little bit of interest, come over quickly, it's too late to brush the pot water."
"You're there! Doodle! Sanzang returned to the front yard to set up his bicycle and sat in the gatehouse for more than ten minutes, when Cheng Yubo came on a bicycle.
"I'm just joking, you don't need to be in such a hurry!"
"I'm exercising, why are you sitting in the porter? It's not going to be waiting for me here. ”
"That's right! Come in, I've got to close the door. ”
"What do you mean? It's not dark yet, is it? ”
"The porter is not at home today, my house was almost stolen a few days ago, I have to be careful."
"My good man, how bold you are! Looks like I'll have to be careful in the future. ”
"Let's go!" Sanzo locked the door and patted his old friend on the shoulder.
"What's the matter with me? This is in a hurry? ”
"It's not a big deal, let's eat first, and we'll talk after eating."
"That's fine!" Half an hour later,
"It's just right, I'm still a little thirsty after eating, let's say, what's the matter with me?" Cheng Yubo took the herbal tea handed over by Sanzang and took a sip.
"Daughter-in-law, I feel a little hot, you turn on the air conditioner in the living room!" Sanzang took the fruit box from Jingru's hand.
"Huh!"
"I just finished eating, why are you so polite." After Cheng Yubo finished speaking, he grabbed a handful of melon seeds from the fruit box in Sanzang's hand.
"Lao Cheng, I want to install a phone at home, do you have any way?"
"My dear, you have money to burn, right?" After Cheng Yubo finished speaking, he touched Sanzang's forehead with his hand.
"Go, go, go! I don't have a fever! Sanzang slapped his hand away,
"So you really have a way, I'll just say, you can't work in vain at the post office for so many years? Always get some useful information. ”
"Let me tell you so, if you have money, you have a way!"
"Oh! Let's talk about it. ”
"You really want to know?"
"You're not talking nonsense, say it quickly!"
"Well, you need to spend 27,000 yuan to buy a small switchboard, hand it over to the post and telecommunications office, and then you can apply for the installation of a private landline."
"What international joke are you playing? It's too dark, isn't it? ”
"You were joking first, and I've asked you twice. Now who doesn't want to install a phone, but with such a technical condition, you have to have a switch before you can install a phone. ”
"So if I do buy a switch, you can promise to put it on me."
"Isn't this nonsense! You really have a switchboard, you are the master of your post and telecommunications office, and you can apply for 5 telephones at will. A switch can install more than 100 telephones, and each telephone post and telecommunications office can charge an initial installation fee of 1,000 children and 800 at will. ”
"Daughter-in-law, what do you think?" Sanzang's fingers tapped rhythmically on the armrests of the sofa.
"Well, I think it's too expensive! Let's not pretend. That's enough money to make phone calls for decades. Jingru shook her head.
"Lao Cheng, what do you think?"
"Me! From the standpoint of a good friend, I also advise you not to pretend for the time being, it's a waste of money, wait for two or three years to go up the technical conditions, honestly pay the initial installation fee and line up, maybe two or three thousand yuan is enough. ”
"Hmmm! Words from the bottom of my heart! By the way, can I make international calls on my personal phone now? ”
"What do you want? Want to have your meter checked? ”
"What if I apply in the name of a foreign-owned company?" Sanzang suddenly thought that he still had an import and export trading company in his hand.
"I don't know about this, I'll help you ask, it will definitely cost a lot of money."
"Alright! Let's do this for now! Sanzang thought about it, it seems that installing a phone at this time is a bit of a chicken rib, and it can't make international calls, so it's useless.
"It's okay, I have to go first, Haitang is alone at home with the children, I don't worry." Cheng Yubo stood up and grabbed a handful of peanuts from the fruit box.
"Okay! I'll open the door for you. Sanzang smiled and shook his head.
