Chapter 68 Dating after marriage? (Part 1)

Shi Qingqing spent another two days leisurely. Since she saved all the unnecessary transportation time, she quickly completed the fourth task and weighed 39 kilograms.

Moreover, all the housework at home has been done in the past few days, the walls have been built, and a courtyard plug socket and two indoor plug sockets have been reserved at home.

One was also reserved for the upstairs bedroom and an empty room.

In many rural households, electrical appliances are basically light bulbs and fans, with the occasional rice cooker. It is not common to reserve so many plugs.

The most important thing is that Shi Qingqing found that it was really good to have food to eat when she came back. Even if Zhao Fengnian wanted to eat the food she cooked, he had now learned how to clean all kinds of ingredients. He would not be like some people who, although not from a wealthy family, always asked basic life common sense questions that even a brain damaged person could not ask.

With someone to clean up the house, Shi Qingqing felt that it was not a bad idea for her to go out and earn money while Zhao Fengnian stayed at home.

But this idea was rejected by Shi Qingqing as soon as it came up. Since Zhao Fengnian had other plans and arrangements for his own future, it was not her place to interfere.

So after fixing the walls and electrical circuits at home, Zhao Fengnian went out to look for a job.

Shi Qingqing stopped him and said, "Let's go to the city first and buy a pager."

"Okay, let's go to the city, huh? What to buy? A pager?" Zhao Fengnian reacted and quickly said that the thing would cost about two thousand.

He only brought home one thousand this time, and spent the other one thousand on materials. Although there were more than one hundred left, it was far from enough.

Shi Qingqing looked at Zhao Fengnian's surprised eyes, and for some reason she felt proud. "As a small family, it's not just one person who works hard. Don't worry, I also earned a little bit, enough to buy one.

But I'll buy it first, you wait for the next one."

"Whatever I buy, you can just use it. When we earn more money, you can use that cell phone. Yes, cell phone. I'll use the one you have left. Let's not waste it."

Shi Qingqing and Zhao Fengnian were not strangers, and seeing that he had no intention of forcing her, Shi Qingqing made the arrangements calmly.

The two changed their clothes and went out, and as soon as they went out, they met the landlord's agent, Sister Chen.

She looked at the handsome man and beautiful woman with a smile.

Shi Qingqing did not wear the old clothes and leather aprons that she had prepared for fishing. Instead, she put on a set of fitted jeans, a sweater, and a long coat that covered her hips. She tied her hair into a braid that naturally fell on one side of her shoulder, and she looked like a city beauty.

Zhao Fengnian was also wearing the woolen sweater and woolen coat that Shi Qingqing had chosen, black straight-leg pants, and leather shoes. His hair was not specially styled, just the fluffy and natural hairstyle of a young man. Even when blown by the sea breeze, it looked decent if it was casually tossed.

When this beautiful couple went out, many people were looking at them after they got on the bus.

Shi Qingqing simply wrapped the scarf around the lower half of her face, then leaned against Zhao Fengnian with her eyes narrowed.

Zhao Fengnian didn't expect that she would feel sleepy just like that, so he adjusted his posture to make Shi Qingqing lean on him more comfortably.

After the car arrived at the station, the two walked for a while before arriving at the largest shopping mall in the city. The first floor was bustling with people selling pagers, and they wanted to cover the entire door with the three huge words "Pager".

The two found a store and started to choose.

The store clerk enthusiastically introduced how to use it.

First, call the paging station, report the pager number, and then say the message content.

The paging station sends the message content to the pager with the specified number.

The pager can be turned off directly by pressing the power button.

To contact someone, first dial the service desk where their pager is located, then send a signal through human service, or manually enter the corresponding pager number on the telephone keypad.

After receiving the call, the other party can find the phone number of the person who just called him/her through the display screen, and then find a landline to call the other party back.

"In the past, there was only monotonous black, and later silver was added. Now there are more colors of BB cases. Men and women can choose their favorite colors to buy."

Shi Qingqing asked about the price.

To buy a brand new one, including the shell, costs two thousand yuan, but in addition to the paging function, sending and receiving messages and time display, it now has a weather forecast function compared to the previous two years' models.

It is also easier to use and is fully operated in Chinese.

The network access fee is fifty yuan, and if it is a digital paging station, it will be around eighteen yuan per month.

After careful consideration, Shi Qingqing chose a transparent shell to protect the machine itself.

The rest is up to the store clerk's recommendation.

The clerk helped with the operation, and Shi Qingqing also knew her seven-digit "number".

When she took the machine, she felt that it was only the size of her palm, so how could it consume several months' salary of many people?

No, maybe some people can’t save enough to buy one even in a year, not to mention that it costs money to maintain it.

However, this pager is not that rare. The mobile phone is really expensive. The starting price for answering a call is 30 cents, and the purchase price of the mobile phone itself is at least 5,000 yuan. In fact, the functions are basically the same.

After buying her own machine, Shi Qingqing saw some machines randomly stacked in a glass cabinet and asked what was over there.

"Oh, those are the ones that some people eliminated. If you want them, you can pick any one for twelve thousand."

It's half the price of a new machine, and there's actually no difference if you just look at the appearance.

But she only had 700 cash on her, excluding the car fare, so she shook her head. "Forget it, I only have 700."

Just as she was about to leave, the clerk stopped Shi Qingqing and recommended a 1993 model. The brightness could not be adjusted, and the shell had been dropped and had to be replaced, but the other functions of sending and receiving messages were still there.

Shi Qingqing picked and chose and lowered the price by more than a hundred before buying it.

This is naturally for Zhao Fengnian.

Zhao Fengnian was a little flattered.

Why does a small worker on a construction site need a pager?

This is so embarrassing, I feel like a construction contractor.

Having said that, as soon as he walked out of the store, Zhao Fengnian pinned his coat behind him and walked with his hands on his hips, looking very proud.

There is an iron chain tied to the pager, so as long as you are careful, it will not be stolen by thieves.

Shi Qingqing watched him show off for a while before reminding him, "If a thief saw you like this, they would want to steal it and make you sad."

Zhao Fengnian stopped showing off and buttoned up his coat carefully.

Since they were in the city, Shi Qingqing simply took a walk around. Not finding anything she liked, she took Zhao Fengnian to a Western fast food restaurant.

Zhao Fengnian stood under the yellow sign and swallowed his saliva. "We are going to eat this?"

"Yeah." Shi Qingqing walked in holding Zhao Fengnian's hand, and someone immediately greeted them.

Shi Qingqing also replied, then calmly walked to the counter to order.
