On the way down the mountain, Ruan Ruan brought up the matter of starting work. She still wanted to find someone she trusted to calculate the date for starting work.

In response, Huo Haocheng whispered in Ruan Ruan's ear, "You can go back and talk to Grandpa about this."

Hearing Huo Haocheng say that, Ruan Ruan thought for a moment and said, "How come I didn't know Grandpa could do this?"

She grew up with her grandfather, and you could say she spent more time with him than any of the other children, but she had no idea that the old man had this skill.

"It's not that Grandpa knows how, it's that he has someone who does." The day after Huo Haocheng decided to join the army, his grandfather took him to make a phone call. After explaining their purpose, the person told Huo Haocheng's fortune. Huo Haocheng was standing next to his grandfather at the time, so he couldn't hear the voice on the other end of the phone very clearly, but he heard his grandfather's words very clearly.

After Grandpa gave the other party his birth date and time, he quickly received a reply. The other party told him to follow his heart and that he would get back to him later.

After that, his grandfather agreed to his request to join the army and told him to do a good job.

And because of this inexplicable phone call, he began to show his abilities in the recruit training camp. Every time he went on a mission, his body always acted a beat faster than his brain. Gradually, relying on this first instinct, he always managed to narrowly escape death.

Later, he believed what that person said and followed his heart. When going on missions, he was always fearless and rushed to the front. He quickly caught the attention of Commander Gu, and gradually his military merits increased and his position rose faster and faster.

He knew how important this land was to Ruan Ruan, which was why he didn't trust her to find someone else. If someone with ulterior motives infiltrated, it would be troublesome.

"Okay, I'll tell Grandpa when I get back. Oh, by the way, when is the person who was supposed to install the phone coming?" Before, Huo Haocheng and the others were on a mission and it wasn't convenient for outsiders to come and go from the house. Now that the mission has been completed for so long and they've all come back on vacation, why hasn't the person who installed the phone come yet?

"...Hmm..." Hearing his wife ask this at this moment, Huo Haocheng was stunned for a moment, then thought about it. He didn't seem to have heard his wife say that she wanted to install a telephone at home. "When did you say that you wanted to install a telephone?"

Ruan Ruan, who was walking in front of Huo Haocheng, was originally standing on a rock and about to jump down. After hearing Huo Haocheng's words, she stood on the rock, turned around and looked at him, and then her brows furrowed tightly.

Seeing that they hadn't followed, Ruan Shaohong, who was walking ahead of them, turned around and asked, "What's wrong? Haven't you two had enough fun in these mountains?"

The people walking in front stopped when they heard Ruan Shaohong's words and turned around to look at them.

"Didn't I tell you?" Seeing that they had all stopped and were looking at her, Ruan Ruan also thought about it very seriously. She didn't remember when she had told Huo Haocheng. Anyway, after she came back, whenever she needed to make a phone call, she would go to her grandfather's house when there was something important to do, and she would go to the post office near her house when there was nothing to do. It was very inconvenient, so she had always wanted to make a phone at home.

However, Ruan Ruan knew Huo Haocheng quite well. He would always remember what she had told him. So when Huo Haocheng asked her this, her first reaction was not how Huo Haocheng could forget something so important, but rather she was trying to recall if she had really forgotten to tell him.

Ruan Ruan had made this mistake before. She read a message her friend sent her and thought she had replied to it. However, some time later, her friend remembered the message and asked her why she hadn't replied. Ruan Ruan was certain that she had replied, but when she went through her message history, she realized she really hadn't.

"...Did you say it or not?" Huo Haocheng didn't dare to say no directly, because he was now doubting himself. Could it be that he really forgot? If he forgot, it was very likely that he did it when he went to sleep at night.

"Hey, can we talk about this after we get down the mountain? It's getting dark!" Ruan Shaohong couldn't stand these two showing affection in front of him.

Before, when he and Qian Ling were respectful to each other, his grandmother and mother would scold him every time they showed affection at home. Later, after Ruan Shaoke and Bai Sirui's affair was exposed, the old man was even more disgusted with him when he saw that two grown men could be so affectionate.

But he has changed. He is trying his best to treat his wife and children well. However, as long as Huo Haocheng and the others show off in front of him, he is the one who gets hurt in the end.

He had also told Qian Ling about this, and Qian Ling simply comforted him generously, saying that they should just live their own lives and not compare themselves to others.

"Okay, let's talk about it when we get back." I can't remember anyway, so let's not waste any more time and talk about it when we get back.

Half an hour later, they returned to where they had parked.

On the way back, Chen Liang asked them what had just happened, "What were you thinking about while you were standing there?" He had been walking in front and talking to Liu Gang the whole time, so he hadn't noticed what was going on between the two of them. Of course, he didn't believe the nonsense that the two of them had argued. He had personally witnessed how good Huo Haocheng was to his wife over the past two years in Yuncheng.

"It's nothing. I just asked him when the person who installs the phone at home would be coming, and then he asked me when I had told him. I was just standing there thinking about it, wondering if I had told him about it or not. You know me, I can be very careless sometimes. It's very possible that I just thought of it and then forgot to say it, but I still thought I had told him."

Ruan Ruan directly shared her thoughts with them, mainly with Huo Haocheng. She didn't want such a small matter to cause any conflict or estrangement between them.

"Oh, is that so? What's the big deal? Whether we said it before or not, we've said it now. We can just find someone to install it tomorrow!" They didn't take it seriously. With their influence in Beijing, installing a telephone at home would be a simple matter. Zheng Xuyang and Chen Liang weren't worried at all.

"By the way, several factories, schools, residential compounds, and clinics will need to apply for telephones. Should we apply for so many in advance?" Zheng Xuyang thought for a moment. It would be better for Ruan Ruan's family to have a telephone installed, which would make it easier for them to contact people in the future. They were not familiar with the application process for telephone installation in Beijing, but they didn't know if they needed to report it in advance if they installed so many telephones at once. It would be troublesome if they didn't have enough in stock.

"I'll go ask tomorrow." Huo Haocheng, who had been driving, listened to their conversation. He had never applied for a phone number before and didn't know the process, so it was best to find out first. It was fine for their family, but for the factory, as Zheng Xuyang said, if they needed to transfer people from other places, it would be good to make it clear in advance so that they would have time to prepare.
