Chapter 29 Calling My Wife
I just met him yesterday, and I ran into Yang Baiwan again outside the stock exchange early this morning.

It can only be said that it is a gathering of forces.

But Lu Yang never thought about establishing any rich friendship with Yang Baiwan.

So, after getting the money, he came out and left directly with his two brothers.

When Yang Baiwan came out with the money, he looked around at the door of the exchange and found that Lu Yang, who had just come out ahead of him, had disappeared.

I breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he became slightly puzzled and frowned.

According to his idea, Lu Yang should be waiting for him at the door, carefully preventing this super profitable deal from being sabotaged by each other, and then in the end, after the conversation, the two treasury bond dealers should have made a few agreements, such as not bringing in anyone else, not spreading the news, dividing the territory of Feicheng, and only exchanging treasury bonds among the public within their own territory.

But neither.

"Young man, you are really unreliable. You left so abruptly. Well, let's just treat it as a convention. I will also call two brothers from the same family to help. If you meet these three guys again in the future, it's best to stay away from them."

After figuring it out, Yang Baiwan shook his head, and his brows finally relaxed a little.

But it's hard to hide his depression.

The other party relied on his youth and made me take the initiative to decide to stay away from him even if he didn't stay to see me. How could I make him happy?

At this time, Lu Yang had already rushed to the train station with his two cousins ​​and bought train tickets to Feicheng in the west.

"Walk."

"Before we reach the station where the train departs, let's call home and let them know we're safe, so they won't worry about us."

Lu Yang greeted his eldest cousin and Junzi.

The concept of public telephones appeared relatively early in China, first appearing on the streets of Greater Shanghai in 1930.

However, it took two years after the founding of the People's Republic of China for public telephones to become truly popular. Starting from 1990, the streets and alleys across the country were gradually filled with public telephone booths that were like the landscape of the times. People could easily contact each other within the province and the country by simply inserting coins.

But not yet.

Today's public telephones are still locked in small houses. Most of them belong to government offices, and a few are for the convenience of the public, such as stations, cinemas, newsstands, and village party branches in cities and villages...

Zhao County, Fan Town, Shanghuai Village.

At the entrance of the village, the red telephone of the village committee branch rang that morning. Sister Ma, the director of the Women's Federation of the village committee on duty, ran over quickly, picked up the phone and respectfully waited for instructions from above.

This phone doesn't usually ring.

Every time it sounded, it was almost always an instruction from the town or county.

In recent years, apart from using it to convene village committee cadres to attend meetings in the town or county, the Women's Federation has used it the most. The specific instructions mainly come from above, which can be described in four words: it is aimed at "family planning."

This is a national policy.

It is also the most important task at the grassroots level in recent years, and Sister Ma cannot afford to neglect it.

just
Soon she put down the phone and looked strange.

"Dudu.du."

She was woken up by the busy tone after the phone was hung up.

"My God!"

"It's actually a long-distance call from Shencheng?"

"No, I have to go call someone and inform Xiaoyueer, and have my elder sister answer the phone."

Say it.

He ran out of the village committee compound. It turned out that this sister Ma was the aunt of Lu Yang's newlywed wife Yin Mingyue and the new sister of his master's wife Ma Xiulan.

"Sister Xiulian, where are you going? Why are you running so fast?"

"I'm going to inform my sister. No, it's the families of Lu Yang, Lu Youren, and Lu Dajun. They're calling from Shencheng. We have to hurry up. Otherwise, if we miss the call after 15 minutes, we'll waste a lot of money. Long-distance charges are expensive after all."

"Ah, there's a call from Brother Lu Yang. I'll go and notify him for you. Production Team Nine is quite far from the village entrance. Sister Xiulian, you go first. I'll close the canteen for a while."

"Okay, excuse me, sister. Please help me notify my sister. I'll ride my bike to Group 9 to notify Lu Youren and Lu Dajun's family."

The movement of the village committee soon alarmed the convenience store next to it.

When the fat wife of Lao Liu, who was in charge of the store, saw Sister Ma, the director of the Women's Federation of the Village Committee, running out in such a panic, she also hurried out to inquire about the situation.

Wait until you find out the situation.

He volunteered to temporarily close the store to help.

Ma Xiu Lian naturally didn't mention it and agreed happily.

Not to mention that the person who called was her own sister's son-in-law, even if it was an ordinary villager who received a call from family or relatives, it would be her duty as a duty cadre of the village committee to notify the family members to answer the phone. Now that someone offered to help, she was naturally more than happy to do so.

"Row."

"Then Sister Xiulian, please slow down. The second half of the journey to Group 9 is not easy. You also have to be careful of the slippery ponds on the roadside. It's a pity that the radio in our village can't broadcast that far. It's because Shanghuai Village is a big village. Otherwise, we would save a lot of effort."

Lao Liu's wife kept chattering, but she did not slack off at all.

The door was closed in no time.

He patted his butt with his big fat hands, cleaned the dust off his hands, and ran towards Old Man Yin's house, which was not far from the village entrance, shouting as he ran: "Old Man Yin, your son-in-law called. It's a long-distance call from Shencheng. My brother Lu Yang seems to have made a fortune this time. He is willing to make such a long-distance call. Come out quickly, Old Man Yin..."

Less than two minutes passed.

Even half of the village knew about it.

In Shanghai, at the railway station, at the convenience service point in the waiting room, Lu Yang almost stepped forward and picked up the red phone while counting the seconds on his watch.

Fifteen minutes is enough to notify my eldest cousin's sister-in-law, Da Jun's sister, or my second grandfather to answer the phone. However, my father-in-law's house is only a few minutes away from the village committee, so fifteen minutes is enough for a round trip.

After the call is made.

"beep"

Sure enough, after just one ring, the phone on the other end was connected.

"Wife, is that you?"

"Ah Yang. Yang."

"I can hear you. Now I'm telling you to listen. Everything is going well here. We've already made some money and are now preparing to press on. Don't worry, your husband is the best. I'll be back soon. Just wait for me at home. OK?"

"Ah."

"That's right. Follow what I taught you. From now on, we should try to speak only one word. If we can't express ourselves clearly, we can say two words. Don't be impatient or force it. We will practice your spoken English step by step. Sooner or later, you will be able to speak like a normal person. Come on, honey, you can do it!"

"Uh-huh."

"come on!"

"come on!"

At the Shanghuai Village Committee, after hanging up the phone, Yin Mingyue smiled sweetly at her mother and aunt who were looking concerned, and tears streamed down her face as she smiled.
