Early the next morning, the family of three packed up and prepared to go to the market.

"Mom, do you know Dad's phone over there, use my mobile phone to call it! Also, just install a phone at home!" Yang Chen gave Wu Yinyin 2,000 with the money he transferred from Li Qiang, and helped her pay 500 for the operation, and there were more than 7,000 left, although the phone was still charging the initial installation fee at this time, Yang Chen thought that 7,000 was enough.

"Where does the family have so much spare money, I have to make up for your tuition!" Qin Shuzhen didn't want to spend this unjust money, and she didn't usually make many phone calls.

"Mom, let's pretend to be one, the money shouldn't be much, I'll figure out my own tuition fees!

Yang Chen saw his grandmother slowly moving her firm steps and walked to the eaves of Yang Chen's house, "Grandma, are you going to the market too?" Yang Chen's grandmother is 78 years old this year, her body is still quite tough, although she is full of pain, she can eat and sleep, and she can do some work in her hands, and there is no major illness or disaster.

Yang Chen didn't see his grandmother when he went home because his grandmother was living at his uncle's house these days.

Since Yang Chen's grandfather died, his grandmother took turns to eat and live at Yang Chen and Uncle Yang Sheng's house, each for a month.

Of course, having said that, in fact, grandma likes to stay at whom's house for a few more days, and neither of the two sons will have an opinion. By the time my grandmother was ninety years old, her two sons and two daughters-in-law were very filial to her, not to mention a large group of grandchildren.

Grandma's greatest achievement in life is to raise two sons and two daughters, and when grandma is ninety years old, she is really full of children and grandchildren, four generations in the same house, there are several great-grandchildren, and the eldest great-grandson is ten years old.

This is the happiness of a large family that families with single children will not be able to enjoy in later generations.

Yang Chen's grandfather Yang Kun died four years ago at the age of 71, Yang Chen's grandmother was three years older than his grandfather, and he had been working as the village chief in the village before his death, and he was very trusted by the villagers. Yang Chen's uncle, Yang Shengan, is now fifty years old, serving as the deputy village head in the village, and the village accountant is a popular candidate for the next village head.

"Yes, Chen'er just came back yesterday, right? How are you reading?" Grandma walked very slowly, but one step was always a footprint.

"Dad called back, grandma, you can also say a few words to dad in a while! My study is very good!" Yang Chen reported his study to his grandmother, of course, he said it in unison, and grandma couldn't understand it if he said too much.

"Well, how did the phone get your father's voice over?" Yang Chen knew that his grandmother didn't understand any of these high-tech things, and she couldn't even press the TV remote control board.

Maybe the only electrical device that grandma can use is the pull switch for the lights, and if you make a button switch, she will be confused.

Yang Chen's TV is not a rear projection plasma LCD flat flat,It's just an old-fashioned picture tube convex TV,But with a little color,So it's called a color TV。

At this time, telephones were not even widely available in the countryside, let alone high-end TVs, which were more expensive than telephones.

Yang Chen and Yang Han accompanied their grandmother to the village slowly, because it was close to a dirt road connecting several natural villages and the seat of the township government, so it naturally became a densely populated center in the village.

It was not yet nine o'clock, but there were quite a few people waiting to call or answer the phone next to the village's only public telephone.

"Qin Shuzhen, rush to the market?" A woman in the same village asked in a greeting when she saw Yang Chen's mother leading her two sons to the public phone to wait to answer the phone.

"Hehe, yes, what, let's go together later!

"Yes, my daughter is from Guangdong! Your daughter is also in Guangdong?"

"Yes, it seems that in some electronics factory, I can't figure it out, or your daughter is capable and beautiful!" Qin Shuzhen complimented, saying that other people's daughters are good-looking, and they will not secretly raise their children higher.

"Where, look at your two sons, the eldest one is talented, and the younger one is well-behaved and clever, I really envy me! haha!" Although the village woman was modest, her expression was very useful.

Yang Chen only read the book of sages for a day, and although he had seen this woman, he didn't know what her name was, so he didn't pay attention to it, and just symbolically called Auntie.

At this time, the telephone fee is extremely expensive, and the most important thing is the bilateral charge, which means that the phone must be charged, not only by the telecommunications company, but also by the boss who provides the telephone service. Therefore, most people still don't know how to make porridge on the phone, and say a few words about what should be said, and the instructions that should be instructed are almost the same.

So, soon the phone rang, and then the boss called, "Qin Shuzhen, your phone!" Although Yang Chen was not familiar with the older generation of villagers, he was more familiar with the older generation. Of course, the boss of the public phone also knew Yang Chen's mother.

"Hey!" Qin Shuzhen picked up the phone, and a man's somewhat dull voice rang on the other end of the phone.

I heard from them that my mother-in-law had passed away, and that I had just returned from the field yesterday afternoon. Yang Shengli asked on the phone.

"It's all good, my mother's health is also very good, you can work outside with peace of mind! My mother has been paralyzed in bed for so long, which can be regarded as a relief. ”

"Well, I called to tell you that Qin Yun bought a mobile phone, and you can call him if you have something in the future, I'll read the phone number. ”

"Oh, okay, you wait, I'll borrow a pen from the boss!" Qin Shuzhen covered the microphone and said to the owner of the small shop who was chatting with others.

"Brother Zhou, borrow your ballpoint pen and use it!"

"Mom, I have a pen on me, didn't Uncle Qin buy a phone and let me remember the number, you say, I'll just remember it." ”

In fact, Yang Chen was quite familiar with Uncle Qin's phone number, and if things hadn't changed, he would have been able to say this number right away.

Uncle Qin is the husband of a cousin of Yang Chen's father, Yang Shengli, and the relationship with Yang Shengli's family has always been good, and he has also given Yang Shengli's family a lot of help, because he has been doing home improvement in the provincial capital all these years, and with the rise of real estate, he has also earned some money.

"Well, okay, you can say it!"

“130......”

Yang Chen wrote down the number his mother said, which was exactly the same as his memory in later life.

At this time, the worst mobile phone has to pay for two or three months, and the phone bill is surprisingly expensive, which is not a stall that everyone can afford.

"Shengli, you can tell your mother a few words!" Qin Shuzhen handed the microphone to Yang Chen's grandmother.

"Mom, you're in good health!" Yang Chen's grandmother chatted with Yang Shengli.

Then there is Yang Chen, "Dad!" Yang Chen knew that his father had paid a lot for this family, and in the past ten years, his father's health had deteriorated, which was also caused by too much work, plus carpentry, and there was a problem with his lungs.

"Chen'er is going to take the university entrance examination, I have to work hard!

"Don't worry, Dad, I'll go to the provincial capital to study!"

"Well, I'm glad you can have so much confidence!"

"Dad, actually, something happened in our family that may be very important to us, I will tell you when I go back this night, you go to Uncle Qin's house at night, and we will call you when the time comes." Yang Chen didn't deliberately sell Guanzi, but he didn't want others to look at him with strange eyes.

"Hmm," although Yang Shengli was a little suspicious, he still agreed.

After chatting a few more words, Yang Chen handed the phone to his younger brother.

"San'er, how is your study, have you listened to your mother?"

"Dad, when are you coming back?"

"I'll be back when the threshing is done!"

"yes, can you buy me a Transformer?"

"Okay, as long as you get in the top five in the class in this final exam, I'll buy it for you!"

"Okay, that's it!"

Hanging up the phone, Yang Chen felt that this family was changing, of course Yang Chen's father's personality was very clear, usually the father and son rarely communicated spiritually, just asked about the body, study, or something.

Yang Shengli is a capable carpenter worker, but that's about it. It is not an easy task to pull three children to grow up. Yang Chen has never been a father, and sometimes he can't understand the feeling of being a father.

But his love for his father will not change because of this.

He loves every member of this family and is willing to give everything for them.

Yang Chen lamented that everyone in their family was ten years younger, which gave him more opportunities to fulfill his promises, and he felt that the burden on his shoulders was heavy.
