Chapter 309, Telephone (Asking for a Monthly Pass)

January 24, 1963, is the Chinese New Year's Eve.

For many years, I walked into the living room with a meal, and my heart was full of emotion.

Before he knew it, it had been more than four years and almost five years since he came to this world.

This year's Spring Festival is the fifth Spring Festival he has spent in this world.

By the middle of '63, he would have been in this world for five years.

Time flies!

If it is really red cherries and green plantains, things in the world really can't stand the test of time.

"Dad, why do we drink soda and you drink wine?"

The Chinese New Year's Eve dinner began, and everyone was pouring wine and waiting for a toast.

When they saw the difference, they wanted to drink.

But for the Chinese New Year, you are not allowed to come nonsense, you must be happy, you are not allowed to swear, you must be polite, you must listen to your parents, etc.

Otherwise, Mom and Dad will beat them or scold them.

"Because you are little children, minors are not allowed to drink, you look at your sister-in-law and eldest sister, who is drinking?"

"Oh, how old do we have to be to drink?"

"When you're eighteen years old, you'll be able to drink."

"Then I'm going to grow up quickly, and I'll be eighteen soon, then I'll be able to drink"

Xiao Tuanzi's words made everyone chuckle.

Growing up is not a quick thing.

After pouring the wine, everyone raised their glasses to celebrate the reunion moment.

"Cheers!"

The Chinese New Year's Eve dinner is the most important meal of the year, and the part of toasting together as a family is not usually available.

So, at this moment, the little bean bags were very happy, because they also raised their small cups and clinked glasses with everyone.

In previous years, it was divided into three tables, which was quite loose and did not look crowded.

This year, it's still three tables, but it's unusually crowded.

Because there are a lot of little children, all of them are specially made tables and chairs, otherwise after they sit down, they won't be able to see anyone.

Just now, when I arranged a seat for my child, I smiled and said for many years that I would have to add another table in a few years.

In fact, it is also possible to replace the current small table with a large table.

But they all agreed to add another table instead of a large one.

The living room, in fact, is not very spacious, and it is already very reluctant to put down four tables and chairs.

After a small sip, the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner officially began.

However, Qin Huairu and the others are more concerned about the children, mainly worried that they have not eaten well, or have lost their rice grains again, etc.

For many years, they were all big men at this table, and they all drank wine.

"Oh, this Moutai is really different, it's refreshing to drink."

The boss couldn't help but sigh with emotion, which immediately aroused the unanimous approval of Lao Xu, the second child, and the third child, father and son.

Moutai was brought over by the fourth child, to be precise, it was given by Lou Xiao'e's family.

Her mother's family is rich, and she usually gives money or something, but Xu Qianqian doesn't want it, so she refuses directly.

But now after all, it is the New Year, and in the face of the kindness of the old man and his mother-in-law, Xu Qianqian can't refuse.

Not to mention that Lou Xiao'e is still persuading on the side, so this Moutai wine has become one of the protagonists of tonight's Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.

In the warehouse in the basement of the West Ear Room, there have been 128 bottles of Moutai hidden for many years, and I haven't drunk a single bottle of Moutai yet, and I haven't touched them.

Except for the occasional look to make sure that Moutai is still normal, other times, many years can not be ignored.

Although Moutai is good, it can still be drunk every year.

It's just that he hasn't had much interest in wine for many years, and if he has good wine and the right person, he can have a drink, and if not, he has no problem not drinking for a few years.

In traditional Chinese medicine, you should not consume too much of alcohol, or any kind of food, especially if you consume too much in a short period of time, it will still have obvious harm to the body.

Lao Xu is a rarity with Moutai, in addition to the value and quality of Moutai itself, they themselves also like to drink.

Of course, they don't know how to drink very well, but they are happy anyway.

"Eat vegetables and eat vegetables, Dad, although Moutai is good, you still drink less."

Hearing many years of talking, Lao Xu smiled and nodded in agreement, indicating that he should eat more vegetables.

In other words, if other sons dare to say these discouraged words at the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, Lao Xu will definitely pull down his face and reprimand one or two sentences.

But this sentence has been said for many years, and then it will be fine.

There's no way, I've been working in the general hospital next door for many years, and I'm already a serious doctor.

If you don't listen to the doctor, who do you listen to?

Not to mention that this son has been the unicorn of the family for many years, and many big and small things in the family are usually decided for many years.

Zhou Hongmei saw this scene and smiled happily, "As far as you think Moutai wine is delicious, our own home-brewed glutinous rice wine is the best, I really don't know how to taste it. Xiaoru, you're right? ”

Qin Huairu was picking vegetables, and when she heard this, she had to smile and nod, but she didn't speak.

She still pays more attention to Xiaodoubao and them, rather than participating in the daily bickering of the two old people.

Speaking of the elderly, on the night of the twenty-ninth year, Yang Qiuhong was sent back to Qinjiagou for the New Year for many years.

At that time, he also brought a lot of flour, sweet potatoes, meat, vegetables and so on for his mother-in-law to eat and drink, in short, there were a lot of piles at that time.

If it weren't for Xiaodoubao, the four of them would have to follow to Qinjiagou, and more gifts would have been placed on the jeep.

The mother-in-law has been in the city for almost ten months, except for big festivals such as the Mid-Autumn Festival, she rarely goes back to Qinjiagou.

After living in the city for so long, the most obvious change is that the mother-in-law is actually a lot whiter.

I didn't feel anything on weekdays, but it wasn't until Yang Qiuhong returned to Qinjiagou that she found that she was a lot whiter when compared with other neighbors.

At that time, Qin Jianguo's eyes were round, and his daughter-in-law could return to the girlhood stage again?

The Chinese New Year's Eve dinner passed quickly in a harmonious and cheerful atmosphere.

Next is the vigil, Xiaodoubao they don't know very much, what is a vigil.

But when they saw that the adults hadn't slept yet, they didn't want to sleep either.

And I can't seem to sleep.

So, on the night of the Chinese New Year's Eve, Xiaodoubao and they chased and fought in the living room until about ten o'clock, and then they were ready to go to bed.

The new clothes that had been changed early were soaked all over the body because of this commotion, so I could only give them a new bath and then carry them to sleep.

As a result, when it was time to bathe them, they fell asleep.

For many years, he and Qin Huairu were speechless.

But after thinking about it a little, it feels normal, after a day, they have been playing for a long time, and it is already the limit to be able to support them until ten o'clock.

Little kids, there's a degree of energy.

The next day, the little children early in the morning, still asleep, were woken up by the sound of firecrackers outside, and they couldn't sleep at all.

After a full year of recovery in '62, the capital seems to have regained the glory of those years, and even better.

A lot can be heard from the sound of firecrackers, everyone has a relatively spacious pocket, and the laughter is more hearty and louder.

Whether it was or not, he didn't know for many years, but he knew that his family was indeed better than before.

The little kids were still a little sleepy, but after being woken up, they had to get up and eat breakfast.

Originally, after breakfast, I should have slept back, but I was naturally attracted by my friends.

In addition to Xu Xiaoxin, Xu Weibing and their children, the children of the neighbors next door also ran in to find Xiaodoubao and play with them.

"Xiaomei, Xiaoqian, Xiaoman, you have to take care of them."

"Fifth sister-in-law, don't worry."

Qin Huairu's advice was taken to heart by Xiaomei and the others.

After this Spring Festival passed, Xiaodoubao and their children were four years old, and they just turned four years old in June of 63.

Three-and-a-half-year-old and four-year-old children are not small, they can run and jump.

Not to mention Xiaodoubao's children, they have always been very nutritious, have great strength, and are taller than their peers.

So, they like to go out and play by themselves.

Of course, it's also because their dad is hiding in the basement to work, otherwise, they would prefer to cling to their dad.

It's finally the New Year, and for many years, it is natural to take advantage of the New Year's holiday to work hard.

But he hadn't been working in the basement for long before he heard the cry of white tofu coming from above.

He hurried back to the ground, only to see that Bai Tofu's new clothes were already dirty.

"What's wrong? Don't cry, good."

I wanted to laugh for many years, but the child cried so much, and he, who was a father, naturally had to hold back.

"Brother, it's Xiaodoubao and Xiaotuanzi, they have to fry cow dung."

Xiaomei next to her explained helplessly.

It turns out that the little kids are playing nearby, and the most fun thing for the New Year is firecrackers.

The firecrackers of this era are naturally not the kind of firecrackers specially made for children to play in the eighties and nineties.

Rather, it is a single small firecracker that is disassembled from a string of firecrackers.

For Xiaodoubao, they are only responsible for providing firecrackers, and if they light the fire, they will not dare.

So the ignition was handed over to Xu Weidong, who is now eight years old.

As the eldest grandson of the second room of the old Xu family, Xu Weidong, this kid is also a bull demon king-like existence, especially naughty and mischievous.

When he was a child, he secretly drank his grandmother's milk, and this matter was often taken out by Xu Xiaoqian and others.

When we went out to play today, we happened to see a ball of freshly baked cow dung on the street.

It stands to reason that there should be no cow dung on this side of Di'anmen Street during the Chinese New Year.

Even in normal times, there should be no cow dung.

But this morning, someone really led a few cattle to pass by on this side of Di'anmen Street, so it was a coincidence that a pile of cow dung fell on this section of the road near Beihe Hutong.

For the little bean buns who are tired of playing fried river, fried bamboo and other things, fried cow dung is definitely a new and exciting thing.

So, Xu Weidong listened to Xiaodoubao's idea.

The firecracker was lit, and when the white tofu retreated, he accidentally tripped and fell.

By the time she got up and was ready to move on, the firecrackers had already gone off.

Fresh cow dung is still wet, and when splashed, it can fly several meters away.

So the white tofu was hit.

After hearing this, one of them couldn't hold back for many years and laughed.

Bai Tofu suddenly cried even more sadly.

Qin Huairu on the side also came over, glared at her for many years, and then took the little guy's little hand to change her clothes.

"Little bean bun, how did you come up with the idea of frying cow dung? Now my sister's new clothes are dirty, right? Now give you two a choice, either change into old clothes and wear old clothes with your sister."

After a pause, many years later:

"Or, I'll get a new set of clothes for Bai Tofu, but only she has it, you don't, how about it?"

Well, they didn't expect their father to punish them like this.

"Dad, why can't we have a third new outfit?"

Xiao Bu asked suspiciously, and said patiently again for many years:

"Bai Tofu went out with you, and she was the only one who got her new clothes dirty, and you were the culprit, so do you want to be punished?"

Yes, although I don't understand it very well, but now in such a situation, the three children can only admit punishment.

White tofu has a new set of clothes.

After changing into new clothes, the white tofu appeared in front of everyone with a smile on his face, where was the poor crybaby just now?

"White tofu, dad asked you, are you going to fry cow dung later?"

The little guy immediately shook his head like a rattle, and his big eyes were full of unhappiness.

"I don't want to go, I'm going to stay away, my mother said, this is the last new set of clothes."

How could it be the last set of new clothes?

This year, for many years, the two of them have prepared four sets of clothes for their four children.

Two sets are worn for the Chinese New Year, the third set is worn when visiting relatives, and the last set is worn during the Lantern Festival.

With the naughtiness of their little guys, the first three sets of clothes are estimated to have become old clothes by the Lantern Festival.

So prepare one or two more sets of clothes to be prepared.

In fact, the child is too young, there is no need to prepare so many sets of clothes, just enough to wear.

It's just that the little kid is very naughty, and there are two children below, Yuan Jing and Yuan Xin, so these clothes will not be wasted.

When the time comes, the two younger brothers will wear the clothes of their older brothers and sisters, and the clothes of the four seasons are enough for them to wear for a long time.

Seeing that the little children ran out to play again, he smiled at Qin Huairu for many years and said:

"Trust me, they'll heal their scars soon."

"For the New Year, don't talk about your daughters like that, I hope they get better, I don't want to wash their clothes every day."

gained the whites of Qin Huairu's eyes, but for many years, he thought of the washing machine.

Washing machines have appeared in the 19th century, and in the 60s, there were not too many washing machine brands on Hong Kong Island.

On the mainland side, last year, the Shenyang Daily Electrical Appliances Research Institute in Northeast China trial-produced the first washing machine in New China.

Therefore, I wanted to use a washing machine for many years, but I can't do it at present.

As for bringing it back from Hong Kong Island, the problem is not big, but the key is that the current lines in the capital are too general to support the powerful power of the washing machine.

The sixties are not a later generation, but there is no such thing as a low-power washing machine.

Finally, there is the washing machine, which is really hard to use.

Because there are many people in the family, they are also used to washing clothes by hand, so that they can be clean.

Especially Lao Xu, he works in the first workshop of the rolling mill, and often needs to come into contact with all kinds of dirty tools, parts, etc., and it is absolutely impossible to use a washing machine to wash clothes.

For a variety of reasons, I haven't considered buying a washing machine for many years.

But now that I think about it, when the children grow up, Qin Huairu's work of washing clothes will become arduous.

Anyway, before the age of seven or eight, before the little children can not wash their own clothes, they can only be helped by Qin Huairu or Zhou Hongmei.

This is a very difficult task.

"Why don't you buy a washing machine next time and come back?"

Shaking his head, he didn't continue to think about this for many years, and he couldn't do it in the short term anyway.

When it was time for lunch, the little beans came back.

Sure enough, the clothes were already a little dirty.

I really don't know where they ran all morning, I'm afraid they didn't drill the kennel and break the temple, right?

Spider silk can be seen, and it is designated to play catch and hide, otherwise it will not be stained with spider silk.

Forget it, little kid, just love to play, it's normal.

The first day of the Lunar New Year passed quickly, and the second day of the new year was the time to visit relatives, this time, many years were spent at the old father-in-law's house for one night, and then the next day, the four children were sent to the stone temple.

He hasn't left for many years, after all, his master may not be able to see the four children.

Seeing the arrival of the four children, Zhang Mingde was very happy and took out a lot of good things to make the little ones happy.

There are not many places to play here in the stone temple.

But compared with before, there is now a lot of fireworks in the world.

At the very least, the two big trees at the entrance of the stone temple have two more swings.

This is something that didn't exist before, and it wasn't until they came here that they slowly added it.

The little children are really favored by their grandfather, and this pampering is even more than their father.

If Qin Huairu is also here, I'm afraid that my blood pressure will soar, right?

"Let's go, will Grandpa take you to collect prey today?"

In the early morning of the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, there was the cheers of the little ones in the stone temple, and they were all very happy.

Because hunting is much more fun for them than when they were in the city.

It's just that they think too much, not hunting at all, but to check whether the trap placed by their grandfather before is another prey.

Still, the kids were happy.

For many years, he and his master were two adults, one holding two children, shuttling in the mountains and forests, and soon came to the deep mountains.

Of course, the location of the stone temple is actually deep enough in the mountains.

In one morning, Xiaodoubao and the others have grown a lot of knowledge and seen a lot of things that they have never seen before.

Small hares and small wild boars are relatively common, but many unknown pheasants and ducks with colorful feathers are not what they have seen before.

The Baishiqiao Rural Market is quite large, but for many years, it has not been every day to take the little ones to wander around the market.

So Xiaodoubao and they have only seen these little hares, but they have really not seen many pheasants.

"Eat chicken at noon, good luck!"

After many years of casual words, Xiaodoubao and they talked all day.

Wild mushrooms and pheasants are stewed together, and some beneficial Chinese herbs are added, and the soup after stewing is very sweet.

But the little ones can't eat too much, they only give them half full, and then let them eat fruit and other things.

It's not that I'm reluctant to give up these nutritious chicken soups, but because they're too nutritious, I'm afraid they'll have indigestion.

The more TCM practitioners, the more attention should be paid to these.

From the third day of the Lunar New Year to the early morning of the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Xiaodoubao and the others stayed at the stone temple for a long time and didn't want to go back to the city.

When he left, he was still crying, which also made Zhang Mingde quite reluctant.

As a result, many years ago, they just arrived at Beihe Hutong with their front foot, and Zhang Mingde came to Beihe Hutong with their back foot.

When the latter came, they also brought a lot of wild goods from the mountains, as well as some toys and chessboards that Xiaodoubao loved to play with.

Of course, the most important thing is Chinese herbal medicine.

This is a good thing for the little ones to learn and use, and naturally they can't do without it.

After Lao Xu saw Zhang Mingde, his eyes lit up, and he pulled the other party very respectfully to ask.

Over the past few years, Zhang Mingde has grown a few years older, but it seems that he has only increased in age, and there is no trace of time on his face.

It's exactly the same as it was a few years ago, it's no different.

It's really a fairy-like Chinese medicine, this method is simply explosive!

In the past, Lao Xu still thought that Zhang Mingde, a miracle doctor, might be very powerful, but if he wanted to say that he was a hundred years old, he didn't believe it.

But from 59 to the current 63 years, Lao Xu believed.

It turns out that there is really such a miraculous anti-aging method.

Therefore, Lao Xu was courteous and moved out the Moutai wine sent by the fourth child of his family, and said that he would have a few drinks with the divine doctor.

Mr. Zhang, however, said he rarely drank alcohol, or barely drank alcohol.

Zhang Mingde didn't explain too much, and Lao Xu didn't dare to continue to ask.

If it is calculated by age, Zhang Mingde, who is more than one hundred and one hundred years old, is enough to be Lao Xu's grandfather.

After all, Lao Xu is not yet sixty years old, and the difference between the two is nearly half a century.

His master arrived at home, but he did not stay at home for many years.

Because he still needs to visit the leader, from the second year of junior high school to the present, today is the fifth day of junior high school, everyone has to go to work.

Therefore, for many years, I can only try to visit the leader, and I can go a little bit about the relationship.

The fifth day of the new year passed, and on the sixth day of the new year, I went to work for many years.

But fortunately, he doesn't need to go back to work at the General Hospital first, he only needs to go to the Tiger Squadron in the afternoon.

After the seventh day of the new year, Zhang Mingde also returned to Shimiao, and only returned to work in the general hospital for many years.

During this time, Xiaodoubao and the others also learned a lot of traditional Chinese medicine knowledge, all of which were enlightenment knowledge, and Zhang Mingde taught very seriously.

The two children, Bai Tofu and Xiao Budian, like Chinese medicine more than their sisters, and when they learn it, they are also quite serious.

It's just that the children are still young now, and for many years I don't know how smart and clever the children will be and how long they can last.

Because there is a strange phenomenon, that is, before the sixth grade of primary school, many smart children can basically get full marks in the test casually.

But when I get to junior high school, especially high school, I become mediocre, and even reduced to a poor student.

Therefore, for many years, although I am very happy about the smart and clever children now, I don't have much expectation in my heart.

The watershed of everything is actually during this period of adolescence.

For adults, after the fifth day of the new year, this year has actually passed.

However, for the little kids, it's actually the New Year every day.

Not long after the Lantern Festival, many years after he was called to the leader's office.

Tang Buqi said that it was necessary to pull a telephone line for many years of his family and connect it to the office of the general hospital.

"Leader, what's going on? Why did you suddenly pull the phone line for me? ”

When I heard about this for many years, I was so surprised.

Pulling the phone line is definitely not a trivial matter, how many families in the entire Nanluoguxiang have pulled the phone line?

"Was it sudden?" Tang Buqi smiled and said:

"This is not sudden at all, in fact, I should have pulled the phone line for your family last year, but it said that the supplies have not been supplied yet, so I didn't pull ......"

"Now, the telephone has been produced and arrived, so you can pull the phone line."

"After the phone line is drawn, it will be more convenient to contact you."

Okay, since the above has been decided, I have to accept it for many years.

Immediately, he asked softly:

"Leader, that Wei leader was there last year."

The reason why he mentioned this matter was naturally because he wanted to know more about the situation.

Wei Yinian was born in the underground party back then, so there will definitely be no shortage of various means.

It stands to reason that whether it is the previous second-class merit or the current matter of pulling the telephone line, Wei Yinian will definitely add some obstacles to many years.

After all, in November last year, many years of euphemistic rejection of the other party.

Although it was because of Tang Buqi's strong opposition, it attracted most of the firepower, but Wei Yinian needed to do private things, so he naturally wouldn't give up easily.

So many years have passed, if he could, Wei Yinian would definitely have arranged for someone else to do this for him.

But it has been delayed until now, and it has not been done, so you can imagine how serious this matter is.

For many years, I didn't know what it was, but I didn't want to be remembered all the time.

Either Wei Yi will retire quickly, in this case, he will not be able to jump, and he will not have to worry about being afraid for many years.

Either way, let Wei Yinian hurry up but this matter, don't think about it day by day.

"You don't have to pay attention to it, if he really dares to contact you privately, you can come to me directly, anyway, you can't go without me talking."

Tang Buqi was very disdainful, and said domineeringly.

He does have the strength to say this.

After all, if you want to go out on a mission for many years, you really have to nod through him.

This is why, on Yu Guangyuan's side, the follow-up procedures are all in the formal way, otherwise, the former will definitely be very uncomfortable.

Seeing that Tang Buqi said this, he nodded reassuringly for many years.

With a tall man in front, he naturally doesn't need to worry so much.

A few days after leaving the leader's office, someone came to the door.

"Hello, may I ask if this is Director Xu's home for many years?"

Yang Qiuhong was at home, Zhou Hongmei and Hu Meifeng were also in the yard, and the little children in the yard all looked at the three staff at the door.

"Yes, this is the Xu family, and my son is many years, may I ask who you are?"

Zhou Hongmei stood up and asked curiously and suspiciously.

"Oh, that's right, our telecommunications bureau received an order from the superior to come to Director Xu's house to install a telephone line."

Wang Zhenbiao, a staff member, said and reconfirmed that this is the home of the director of the security department of the Beijing Second Grain Company for many years.

After getting the reconfirmation, Wang Zhenbiao and the three of them started to act.

The Telecommunications Bureau is a subordinate unit of the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications, and in the year of the founding of the People's Republic of China, it mainly adopted the system of "unified leadership, separate operation, and vertical system".

"Can we follow the phone at home?"

Hearing Wang Zhenbiao's words, Zhou Hongmei was pleasantly surprised.

Although I have been talking about this for many years a few days ago, I haven't installed it yet, so everyone is just happy.

But now that the staff have come to the door, then this matter must be a certainty.

The matter of pulling a phone line for a private person is still a very novel thing in this era.

Many neighbors came to watch and were amazed.

In particular, the neighbors of Courtyard No. 95 were stunned and shocked.

Have you been on the phone for many years?

It's not a capitalist, it's not a high-ranking family, it's a fart phone call.

But now that I have been on the phone for many years, it can only mean one thing, I have been a senior cadre for many years.

Otherwise, why only call many years of family and not others?

The Beijing Telecommunications Bureau, is it just pulling phone lines for people?

Obviously not!

Moreover, many neighbors heard Wang Zhenbiao's words just now: follow the orders of the superiors!

The weight of these five words is not light, and it is also officially recognized.

Aunt Wang gasped and said to Aunt Yan next to her:

"It's really going to be smooth in the past few years, will your family be discharged from the army next year? Your family is probably going to be fast then, right? ”

When the latter heard this, he said with envy and pride:

"Naturally, it's fast, but my family doesn't know how to stay in the army, and every time he writes to him, he only says that he is very good, and he doesn't say many things."

"Doesn't the army have confidentiality regulations, it definitely can't" Aunt Wang also took the initiative to add this sentence for the other party.

Aunt Yi next to her sighed lightly, in the entire No. 95 courtyard, every family has children, but their old Yi family has no children.

What should I do about pension?

Aunt Liu in the backyard is thinking about her eldest son, maybe he will be able to rise to prominence soon, right?

Immediately, Aunt Liu remembered her man again, Liu Haizhong is afraid that she will buy wine again tonight and drink at home for many years, right?

Thinking of this, Aunt Liu couldn't help sighing: Every time I drink, but I can't get things done, why bother?

The deaf old lady also came to the gate of Beihe Hutong, and saw Wang Zhenbiao holding the phone line, and her old eyes were not cloudy at all.

"It's a pity it's not my son"

Jia Zhang and Xu Erdi were just behind the deaf old lady, and Jia Zhang was not happy to see that many years had been so good.

But it's useless to grit your teeth, and the small life of the family will only get better and better for many years.

Niu Cuihua, who has a big belly, is speechless, why is it so powerful for so many years?

In Beihe Hutong, Wang Zhenbiao and the others spent more than two hours fiddling with the telephone line.

After some testing, the phone was basically confirmed to be working properly.

"Comrade Zhou Hongmei, this is the phone book, this is your home phone number, a total of six digits."

Wang Zhenbiao also tried to teach Zhou Hongmei to use the phone, but the latter stopped again and again and stammered.

Or Xiaodoubao suddenly said:

"Uncle, you teach me and my sister, we can remember."

A child who is a small ghost is less than four years old, and he dares to speak out?

Yang Qiuhong hurriedly pulled the child aside, "Comrade Wang, the child is joking, don't you mind, so let's bother you to talk to my son-in-law?" It's almost noon now, he'll be back for sure."

Wang Zhenbiao smiled and looked at Xiaodoubao and their children, they are indeed very cute children.

"They're Director Xu's children, right?"

Seeing Zhou Hongmei and the others nodding, Wang Zhenbiao praised a few words, and then said that they would send someone over later.

However, they had not yet left Beihe Hutong, and as soon as they arrived at the door, the car that had been many years old had been parked steadily.

"Comrade Wang, this is my son, tell him about it."

Zhou Hongmei and the others came out with them, ready to send one to Wang Zhenbiao, but when they saw this scene, they immediately said happily.

hasn't opened his mouth for many years, Wang Zhenbiao has already stretched out his hand with a smile:

"Hello Director Xu, I am Wang Zhenbiao from the Beijing Telecommunications Bureau, and we are here to install telephone lines in your house on orders from our superiors."

"Thank you for your hard work, Comrade Wang."

He deliberately went home early from work for lunch, but he didn't expect to meet him.

After all, Tang Buqi didn't say what day it was, and someone from the telecommunications bureau would come over to help install it, but he didn't expect to be bumped into by him today.

After many years, I listened carefully to the introduction of the telephone, mainly to make calls.

The telephones of this era are completely different from the fool-style mobile phones of later generations.

To be precise, in this era, making a phone call really requires dialing, but it's not that simple.

Naturally, many years will be used by itself, and what he needs to know is the general situation of the telephone.

In addition, the telephone is broken, the communication is not good, etc., and the question of who should be contacted must be confirmed.

"Comrade Wang, we can make long-distance calls now, right?"

In 1951, the Beijing Telecommunications Bureau was the first in the country to launch an indoor public telephone paging service.

The so-called paging is to provide opportunities for people who do not have a telephone to use the telephone with the help of the city's public telephone.

There are two kinds of paging, one is to make a call, no need to call back; One is the need to call back.

Since its opening, this business has been widely welcomed by the citizens of Beijing.

Supply and marketing cooperatives, commissaries, neighborhood offices and other units all have public telephones, and they are generally responsible for the paging business.

In 1958, the first set of domestically produced 12-channel open-line carrier telephones was successfully developed.

The following year, in 1959, the first set of 60-channel long-distance cable carrier telephones was successfully developed.

In the same year, the telephone in Beijing began to transition from a five-digit number to a six-digit number, and the six-digit number continued until the Big Brother era in the 90s.

"Well, we can talk to 27 provinces and cities now."

Wang Zhenbiao responded with a smile, "However, only here in our capital can connect the whole country, and other places can't do it yet."

There was pride and pride in his tone.

This is not difficult to understand, after all, the special status of the capital, so it is normal.

In five or nine years, the long-distance cable carrier telephone has been successfully developed, and in four years, it must be in accordance with the production plan, and the priority will be given to the supply of the capital.

Moreover, for many years, it was now the 16th administrative level, and it has long belonged to middle and high-level cadres.

How to say it, after the administrative level reaches the seventeenth level, it is considered a middle and high-level cadre.

Senior cadres, but to thirteen or higher, many years is still far behind.

"Okay, thank you, Comrade Wang, it's almost noon, stay and have a meal."

These words are definitely polite words, and it is impossible for Wang Zhenbiao not to hear them.

Besides, they are just ordinary small workers who come to pull the phone line, and they have only met for the first time for many years, how can they dare to stay and eat?

Therefore, after the politeness, Wang Zhenbiao and the others left Beihe Hutong with their tools.

Those neighbors all watched this scene, and the family had really installed the telephone line for many years.

At lunchtime, many years ago heard what Xiao Doubao said just now, and couldn't help but ask in surprise:

"Little Bean Bag, can you really remember it?"

If the child really has such a good memory, then many years will really feel that he has found a treasure.

Children have such a memory, and they will not be able to grasp these exams in the future?

"Uh-huh, my second sister and I have memorized it, my younger brother and third sister are so stupid, I can't remember"

Xiao Doubao nodded, and at the same time did not forget to step on the white tofu and Xiao Budian two little guys.

The two children, Bai Tofu and Xiao Budian, suddenly lowered their heads in embarrassment, and said in their hearts: Dad can't see me!

Many years smiled and said:

"You're amazing, so let's wait for lunch, and you'll demonstrate it, okay?"

"Good!"

The two children nodded confidently, and Zhou Hongmei, Yang Qiuhong, and Xiaomei all smiled and praised a few words.

After lunch, Xiaodoubao and Xiaotuanzi really demonstrated it, and it was really correct.

And the phone number they said for many years, they quickly remembered.

These two children are not as simple as being smart, but they are real prodigies.

For many years, I couldn't help but hug them and kiss each other, "You guys are awesome, you really deserve to be a good daughter of your father, but your younger brothers and sisters are not smart, they are not as big as you, and their brains have not yet developed."

"So, you can't bully your younger siblings, and not only can't bully them, but you also have to help them well and take on the responsibility of your sister, don't you hear?"

The two little ones didn't understand these truths very well, but they were right to do what they were told.

Subsequently, for many years, he picked up the white tofu and Xiao Budian, and kissed their little faces separately and comforted them a few words.

The children, who were still a little lost, suddenly became shy, hid in their father's arms, and refused to show up for a long time. (End of chapter)
