Chapter 227 Urgent, Very Important
Hu Zi knew very well that he was not very smart, so after arranging things, he went to the town office, found Secretary Tang, and said he wanted to make a phone call to Nancheng.
When he was in the city, he would call South City every two days to report the relevant situation.
To make a phone call in the city, just go to the post office, it's very convenient.
But in town, this is the only way to make a phone call.
Secretary Tang asked him, "Didn't you just make a phone call yesterday?"
The reason why Hu Zi came here is that he is now also Gu Hansong's subordinate, handling various matters here and contacting them in time if there is anything.
Ever since Gu Hansong went to South City, he has helped the city and town a lot, such as giving advice, bringing news and information, and helping them get machines outside.
Since it is related to Gu Hansong, he just made a phone call, so we should give him some face.
But telephone charges are expensive in this era, and Secretary Tang only uses the phone in emergencies.
Hu Zi said: "It's urgent, very important."
Secretary Tang waved his hand, "Okay, go ahead and fight."
The other person said it was an urgent matter, there was no way he would stop them from fighting.
After Secretary Tang finished his instructions, he tactfully took the teacup and left.
Hu Zi dialed the number and the person who answered the phone was Jiang Jun. He immediately told the other party about the relevant situation.
Han Ning asked Ye Ran for a thousand yuan! Jiang Jun turned around and told Gu Hansong who was standing by the window what happened.
Brother Han had just answered a call from Sister Shulan and had been standing in front of the window without moving. No one knew what he was thinking about.
Gu Hansong picked up the phone and said, "Tell me everything you two talked about at that time..."
The two of them talked on the phone for more than twenty minutes. When Hu Zi hung up the phone and came out of the office, Secretary Tang's face turned green.
Hu Zi laughed, "Secretary, don't worry. Brother Han will be back in a few days. I will make two or three more calls at most, and everything will be fine after that."
This guy still needs to be beaten!
It's no problem to call for one or two minutes, but if you call for more than ten or twenty minutes each time, the phone bill will be huge at the end of the month.
Seeing that he looked unhappy, Hu Zi took out another fifty yuan.
"Secretary Tang, I know our town is in financial difficulty. Don't worry, Brother Han also said that this call cannot be made in vain."
Hu Zi wanted to give Secretary Tang money, but he didn't want it.
"Alright, alright, this is my office, not a business, so keep your conversation short from now on. Take the money."
Secretary Tang is just used to being frugal.
Hu Zi laughed, "Okay, Secretary Tang, I'm leaving now. I'll come see you another day."
Secretary Tang's eyelids twitched.
…
On the other side, Meng Shulan didn't stay in the restaurant for long. She ate a little, drank tea with everyone, and then prepared to go back to the factory.
The factory also had an extra meal at noon today. He Jinqiu also said that she wanted to notify her uncle and cousin to come over and join in the fun, so she had to go back to greet them.
Everyone knew she was busy and didn't try to keep her, but just told her to remember them and keep in touch.
Meng Shulan has now finally made it through, and everyone, except a fool, wants to have a good relationship with her.
Meng Shulan nodded and quickly left with her things.
At the factory, all the relatives and friends of the Meng and He families who had a good relationship were called over.
Although it was not a formal graduation banquet, He Jinqiu also put a lot of effort into it. There were big pork, fried fish, and two full pots of chicken soup.
There was no market in town today, so Meng Changli arranged for the driver to go to the next town to buy these things.
It’s so convenient to have a car. It only takes more than an hour to go there and back and buy everything.
Two more main dishes were added and there was a shortage of staff in the cafeteria, so Zhou Yan tied an apron and went in to help.
Hu Bifang was also cutting vegetables, busying herself with her husband.
Because she got married yesterday, Hu Bifang got up a little late today. When she got to the school, the wedding announcement had already been posted.
Seeing that she had crossed the line, Hu Bifang hugged her husband and cried.
She passed the exam, she passed the exam, she passed the exam too.
Hu Bifang took her husband in to find the teacher and confirmed the news.
She actually passed the exam.
Although it was just a university in the city, and a junior college, she actually got in.
In the last preliminary exam, Hu Bifang ranked in the top ten. When applying for admission, she did not dare to apply too high and applied to a technical college in the city based on her teacher's advice.
She managed it pretty well and just passed the passing line, a few points above the mark.
Although it was only a junior college, it was already quite good in that era. Only five people in their class passed the exam, three of whom were from technical secondary schools, and only two were admitted to a junior college, one of whom was her.
Hu Bifang's grades have been improving steadily over the past year, from outside the top 20 to the top 10. It may seem like a small improvement in ranking, but the competition for the top spots is fierce, so it is very rare for her to move up.
The head teacher knew that she was married and congratulated her.
It's a pity that she chose to get married before entering school despite having such a bright future, but it's her own business and he can't say anything about it.
In the eyes of people around her, it was a pity for Hu Bifang to get married so early.
But life is like drinking water, you know whether it is hot or cold.
Hu Bifang knew very well what she wanted and would not regret the decision she made at this time.
Because more dishes have been added, the cafeteria opens later than usual, and the time to get off work and start work has been moved back.
When Meng Shulan returned, everyone had just started eating.
When they saw Meng Shulan, everyone raised their cups of soda and congratulated her.
Hu Bifang and Meng Danhong ran over and hugged her. Although Meng Danhong did not have such a happy event, she was happy for her second sister.
Meng Shulan was also very happy at this important moment and had another meal with everyone.
For this extra meal, He Jinqiu not only invited relatives he had a good relationship with, but also invited people from the post office.
My daughter has passed the admission line. If nothing goes wrong, the admission notice will arrive in about half a month.
The villagers are not well-informed and always think that they can only register for classes after receiving the notification letter.
Although Meng Shulan had said before that if she passed the admission line, she would be admitted, the school already had her relevant information, so she could still register even if she didn't receive the admission letter.
But in order to feel at ease, He Jinqiu specially invited people from the post office to come over, hoping that they would help keep an eye out and deliver her daughter's letters as soon as possible.
In those days, there was no one to deliver mail to the village, so people had to go to the post office to pick it up themselves.
Although the people at the post office would keep an eye on something as important as the notice, she was still afraid.
What if someone were to sneak into the post office and steal the notice? It’s impossible for their family to guard it every day.
So I had to invite someone over, and if there were any letters from my daughter, I had to take them out and deliver them separately.
In fact, He Jinqiu was too nervous. Meng Shulan had such good grades and would be in the newspapers soon. Who would have the courage to do such a thing? (End of this chapter)
