Chapter 49: Listen to the Voice of the Times

The rippling waters of the Fen River, graceful bridges.

There is also Yingze Street, which almost runs through Jinyang City.

At the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the general width of Jinyang streets was 7 meters to 8 meters.

When it came time to design and build Yingze Street, the designers at that time had a far-sighted view and planned the width of Yingze Street to an astonishing 70 meters!

It was the same width as Chang'an Street in the capital at that time, and won the title of Huaxia Second Street.

Xu Xinian drove around in the car, thinking that he would not come to Jinyang casually in the future.

Fear of being beaten.

The car stopped in front of the commissary called Leader Grocery Store, Xu Xinian saw a sign with a public phone on the door of the store, turned off the engine and got out of the car and entered the door.

A variety of snack packaging with red and willow green comes into view.

The colorful ropes spread on the table, the sour girls who are connected together on a clothesline, not to mention the spicy strips, a hundred flowers are blooming, Tang monk meat, small balls, and overlord silk......

When I was a child, I couldn't love it, and now I miss it when I see it.

Definitely didn't eat that mood.

The boss is a middle-aged man, wearing only two tendons on his upper body, that is, a white vest, and waving a puff fan in his hand.

"Boss, can you call?"

The boss looked at him, pointed to the telephone next to him, and signaled that it was okay.

In fact, the public phone booth is more convenient, but there are many people in the phone booth, and you have to queue up if you want to use it, which is too eye-catching.

In these years, there are still relatively few public telephone booths in Jinyang, and there are many of these things in Shanghai, especially in 98 years, which will directly reach a heyday, and you will definitely be able to find one every one or two hundred meters on the street.

If memory serves, IC cards are also popular now, and before the advent of various calling cards, it was simply the trend of the times to use IC cards to make calls.

Xu Xinian did not have a phone at home, although it was almost the millennium, but it was still a luxury to install a phone.

It is said that he was naughty when he was a child.

At that time, Xu Zhengsheng was still a noble worker, and every office in the factory was equipped with telephones.

Xu Xinian's hands are itchy.

Can't wait to find out what it's like to be on the phone!

I'd love to hear the voice coming from the phone!

Taking advantage of the lack of attention from adults, a person found a vacancy and sneaked into the office.

The pounding feeling in his heart, he remembers now.

At that time, I picked up the microphone with trembling hands, and I didn't know who to call.

Then I saw a phone book next to it, and the phone number of the Shanshui Power Plant was written on it, so I dialed it according to that number.

After the phone was connected, the person on the other side asked, "Who are you looking for?", under the tension, Xu Xinian remembered that his little Wang Mingyuan and his father Wang Wenfeng worked in the power plant, so he stammered, "I'm looking for Wang Wenfeng." ”

When Wang Wenfeng answered the phone, Xu Xinian didn't know what to say, his mind was blank, so he said nonsense, "Your son Wang Mingyuan was hit by a car and sent to the hospital." Then he hung up the phone with a snap.

Later, I heard that Wang Wenfeng pedaled his bicycle and immediately went home, and when he saw that his son was really not at home, he believed it and went around the county hospital one by one, and he was stunned that he didn't find Wang Mingyuan.

In the end, I called the police, dispatched the police, searched the whole county, and finally found the kid who was playing the game leisurely in the game hall.

Immediately arranged a buttock augmentation operation.

For more than a month, this kid could only stand or lie on the table in class.

That butt was two or three laps bigger, and it couldn't be benched at all.

While thinking about the old things, I dialed the commissary in front of my house.

I couldn't remember the number, so I tried to dial it wrong according to my impression.

As soon as I got through, I asked, "Is it Aunt Li from Yucheng South Street?" ”

made a mistake several times in a row, which made the boss look at Xu Xinian impatiently, but fortunately, after saying "Aunt Li", he finally got a definite answer from the other side.

"Aunt Li, I'm young, can you call my mother?"

Xu Xinian knew that Ji Xiaoyun was selling vegetables near the commissary.

After a while, I heard Ji Xiaoyun over there answering the phone in a hurry.

"Hey, Xiao Nian'er, are you okay outside?"

"Okay, I'm fine, Mom, I'll send you some money home."

"Okay, the money is not insured on your body, you remit it back, Mom will save it for you, just keep enough on your body, if it is not enough to spend, I will remit it it to you."

Xu Xinian thought for a while, "Mom, if you and my dad are in a hurry at home, you can use the money you send first, I found a job outside, and now I can earn more than 500 a month." ”

There was an exclamation on the other end of the phone, "Five hundred! That's more than your dad earned before he was laid off, what did you do? ”

Xu Xinian did not answer.

"My dad's illness costs money, you two don't say it, I know, you must let him go for treatment, the money can be earned, and his life can't be renewed."

Ji Xiaoyun was silent for a few seconds, "You don't have to worry about things at home, I will save all the money for you, and you can be alone outside." ”

Xu Xinian was in a hurry with the microphone, if he wanted to talk about Jinyang, he couldn't pick out a single opponent for him, and as soon as he replaced it with his own mother, he became helpless.

I want to send some money to the old couple to spend, because he has no intention of going back.

Since I called Jinyang, I haven't thought about going home again.

Not to mention whether the boundary of Xishan can still accommodate him, in this season when the spring breeze blows the earth, returning to the small city is tantamount to closing the eyes and ears.

Only by going to a big city full of opportunities can you reach it with your ears and eyes.

In addition to Are you ok, Mr. Lei also has a famous saying.

Standing on the cusp of the times, pigs can fly.

For Xu Xinian, a pig who clearly understands where every wind blows, the big city is simply full of gold.

There was silence for a long time before he spoke, "I've found someone." ”

Ji Xiaoyun sighed, "Where is home, what does it look like, what are your parents doing......

It's time to check the household register.

Xu Xinian made up nonsense, his face was not red and his heart was not beating, "The home is from Jinyang, he is one meter seven, very tall, he is also smart, good-looking, and his family is quite rich." ”

Ji Xiaoyun was a little depressed, "The family has money, can you take a fancy to our family?" ”

Xu Xinian's words were surprising again, "She checked it a few days ago and there is." ”

"What? Pregnant? ”

"I have a child, what her family means is that the child was born in Jinyang first."

Ji Xiaoyun hurriedly said, "What's the matter, then you have to go through the door first, what's going on in Jinyangsheng?" ”

Then he added, "I'll have to go over and serve people." ”

Xu Xinian's brain was running rapidly, "No, people's parents are very decent people, if you see you and my dad are malnourished, maybe you suspect that there is something wrong with our family's genes, this money is your daughter-in-law's filial piety to you and let you both replenish your body, you take care of it first, and I will take you to meet her when the New Year comes." ”

Then he added, "If you two still want to see your grandchildren, just watch it and see if it's to make money and break your body, or to take care of yourself for your grandchildren." ”

didn't wait for the other end to answer, and hung up the phone.

Man, believe it or not, as long as you give him some hope, he can try to live.
