Chapter 160 Big Brother [Seeking follow-up reading]

Regardless of whether we make a loss or not, or whether we are short of money or not, it would be bad to disappoint our father-in-law since he has donated generously.
So we still have to collect this money!

At worst, I can pay it back in the future. It’s not like I won’t pay it back.

Look at the newly acquired 3 yuan.

Lu Yang thought about it.

This money still has to be spent.

In a few days, the market opens, activities start, clothes sell well, and the money will flow back.

The money I invested when I built the garment factory, the tens of thousands of pieces of cloth I purchased, and the hundreds of thousands of sets of clothes stored in the warehouse.

Everything will quickly turn back into money and return to your pocket. Will you still be short of money then?
There should be no shortage.

If I don't want to spend the 3 yuan, what's the point of keeping it until then? My father-in-law lent it to me with great difficulty.

Spent it.

Lu Yang suddenly remembered that he was such a big boss, but he was still using a pager and didn't even have a mobile phone.

Oh, by the way, mobile phones during this period were still called "big brothers" and were like bricks. I remember the gangster bosses in Hong Kong and Taiwan movies loved to use them to show off and hit people.

How about using this money to buy a mobile phone?

I remember the last time I came here, before the New Year, the comrade from the post office asked me how much a mobile phone cost.

28000?

Is it such a coincidence?
Bought it.

Just do it.

In the future, when the market opens up, the clothes become popular and there are many customers, we will need a phone to contact them. A pager alone is not enough.

It’s a good idea to lend this money to my father-in-law!

It’s a good idea to borrow.

It's like when you feel sleepy, someone brings you a pillow.

Lu Yang rode his bicycle and went straight to the county post office to inquire about the situation. Sure enough, the county had mobile phone signals after the Spring Festival this year, and the 1G network access license could be obtained.

Lu Yang didn't waste any time. He took out the money and bought a black portable mobile phone, which was one of the only three mobile phones in stock in the entire county post office. He also applied for a network access license.

From now on, this is no longer a brick, but a network artifact that can communicate with people thousands of miles away.

Lu Yang left the post office.

After upgrading my weapons and putting a mobile phone on my waist, the pager that I bought for over two thousand yuan started to look a little unpleasant.

"This thing is useless now."

"How about giving it to my father-in-law?"

Lu Yang was very grateful that his father-in-law had kindly lent him 3 yuan. He had not thought of giving his father-in-law something as a gift before, but he remembered it this time.

As a human being, you can't be too naive.

So we just do it.

Humming a little tune, riding a bicycle, I returned to the village, came to my father-in-law's furniture factory, and found my father-in-law.

"Dad, look what wonderful gift I brought you."

Lu Yang said mysteriously.

"What?"

My father-in-law is now busy applying palm oil to a finished coffee table.

He looked up blankly.

"It's a Chinese pager, a new technology of the times, a standard for township entrepreneurs to show off. Do you like it?"

Lu Yang even went back home specially and took out the packaging box that contained the BB machine when he bought it.

So now what is presented to my father-in-law is a Chinese pager in a brand new packaging box, which has been used for more than half a year and has been maintained to a fairly good standard.

"Give it to me?"

A look of surprise appeared on the father-in-law's confused face.

This is a pager. He has wanted one for a long time, but the woman at home has always disagreed with him buying one, saying it is a waste of money.

This time, the son-in-law finally gave me a gift that satisfied me.

This daughter’s marriage was not in vain!
It’s not in vain that I accepted you as my apprentice!

"Then... shall I try it?"

He also got excited. He put down the small bucket of palm oil in his hand, put down the brush, took off his gloves, and carefully took out the pager from the box handed to him by Lu Yang.

Gently stroke the fuselage.

It was at this moment that his brows gradually furrowed slightly. It was not because he disliked the pager because it was not a brand new one, but because he noticed that it was almost exactly the same as the pager that his son-in-law had hung around his waist before. He had borrowed it out of curiosity and played with it for a while.

"what happened?"

The father-in-law looked up at Lu Yang and said, "Give it to me, son-in-law, what will you use it for?"

“I use it!”

Lu Yang lifted his clothes and patted the conspicuous black brick on his waist, which was a cordless handheld mobile phone.

"Where did the money come from?"

"Oh, that's my money, the 3 yuan from before. You used it... You actually used it all to buy this mobile phone?"

The father-in-law was shocked.

He opened his mouth wide and stared at Lu Yang, unable to speak.

Lu Yang said as a matter of course: "Yes, I am in charge of such a large factory now. The market will open soon, and I have to deal with customers. It is inconvenient to communicate without a mobile phone."

"Also, my father-in-law, you are a boss after all, and you are not short of money. When you go out to deliver goods, don't customers ever ask you for their phone number or pager number?"

"If we don't have it, we have to buy it."

“Don’t save money that should be spent.”

"Look."

As he said this, he patted his waist and said, "With this, I'll look like a boss. When others see me, they will think, wow, this guy is really powerful, and it will definitely be safe to do business with him." He laughed a few times.

"But father-in-law, you don't have to rush yet. Your furniture business is limited to our Zhao County for the time being. It's not bad to have a pager. Don't despise it. I've only been using it for less than half a year."

What else can be said?
You say you don’t want a cell phone, do you want a mobile phone?

The father-in-law's expression changed from pleasant surprise to astonishment, to shock, and finally to speechlessness...

That's it.

The money has been given to him, so he can spend it however he wants.

It'll be good once you figure it out.

After all, this kid still has some conscience.

After the surprise was halved, I looked at the BB machine in my hand again. The style, color and touch feel have not changed, but the feeling has changed.

Without being cautious, he just hung it around his waist.

The father-in-law waved his hands feebly, as if he was shooing away a fly: "Alright, I'll take the things, and I appreciate your kindness. You can go now, I have to get busy."

He is still angry with Lu Yang.

I felt sorry for the 3 yuan I spent and didn't want to see him.

"Okay, then, father-in-law, take your time with your work. I'm leaving now."

Lu Yang completed a mission.

He gave the pager away, waved happily to his father-in-law, then turned and left, ready to go back to his wife to share this joy.

"Dang, dang, dang, look what this is?"

"Big brother?"

"Yes, it's the show-off gadget from Hong Kong and Taiwan movies. Your husband has it now, too. But it's not just for show-offs. It can be used like the red landline phone in the village committee. It doesn't have a cord and can make calls and communicate with people thousands of miles away."

"Wow, husband, you are amazing."

"By the way, wife, didn't your sister leave your parents and you their school phone numbers?

Do you want to use it to call your sister?

I guess she must be very surprised that you can contact her thousands of miles away from home."

After returning home, Yin Mingyue was indeed surprised by him, but what surprised her even more was his proposal.

Give your sister a call?
Yin Mingyue was moved.

She didn't want to show off, but she really missed her sister.

only……

She hesitated.

Lu Yang then urged, "My dear wife, you are sisters, twins at that. It would be fine if you didn't have a phone to contact her, but now that you have a phone to contact her, don't you really want to hear her voice?"

Yin Mingyue whispered: "Then...then I'll try."

She had memorized the school phone number that her sister Yin Mingzhu left for her family.

According to Lu Yang's instructions...beep beep beep...his fingers pressed a series of numbers on the mobile phone.

"Hey."

"Hello... Teacher, can you help me call Yin Mingzhu?"

"Ah, which Yin Mingzhu?"

Yin Mingyue looked up at Lu Yang blankly.

Obviously, the person who answered the phone was just the staff member in charge of the phone at Yanda University, and he did not know Yin Mingzhu, after all, there were so many students in the entire school.

Now that Lu Yang thought about it, what major did that woman study?

"Journalism Department? International Communication? Wife, just say you are looking for a journalism department or journalism department, or international communication department. One of these two must be right. You should say you are looking for a journalism student named Yin Mingzhu."

"Oh."

Yin Mingyue nodded obediently, and then said into the phone as Lu Yang taught her: "Teacher, the person I'm looking for is Yin Mingzhu, a female student studying journalism. She is a freshman this year, and I...I am her sister..."

"Okay, I've registered. I'm in class right now. Please call back in half an hour."

"Beep beep."

The person on the other end hung up the phone.

Yin Mingyue raised her head and looked at Lu Yang, and said a little nervously: "Husband, how...how should I tell her later?"

Lu Yang said happily: "What? Afraid of having no topics to talk about? It's simple. Isn't she very concerned about your oral training? She said that if you make any progress, you must write to her and remember to tell her. So you told her. Look, you can communicate with her normally on the phone. Isn't this a huge improvement in oral English? Wife, I think you are not far from recovery."

After hearing this, Yin Mingyue said with surprise: "Yeah." She was not nervous at all.

……

Yanda campus.

Yin Mingzhu, who had just finished class, was holding a book in her hands.

Next to her was her good sister Xu Siqi, who was walking with her. They had just finished an open class.

The people around them were very far away from them.

Because their auras together are as strong as a zhang (18 feet) tall. Besides their stunning looks and outstanding talents, Yin Mingzhu is unsociable, has a sharp tongue, and makes anyone she talks to feel awkward. Xu Siqi is also famous for being naughty, eccentric, and a playful person.

Most people don't dare to mess with them, and those who want to pursue them have to think carefully beforehand.

In addition, this is the highest institution of learning, and the learning atmosphere is still very strong during this period.

Over time.

After being rejected so many times, there were no more flies around them.

Wait until you get back to the dormitory building.

The dormitory manager suddenly called Yin Mingzhu: "Wait a minute, you have a call."

　Something happened this morning. My son's school called to say that the child sprained his foot after class and it was swollen badly. I took him to a Grade A hospital for a check-up this morning and just came back. Sorry for the late update.
