There is a private space at home, and I can talk to Lin Meiyu and others about anything I want to say.
The only drawback is that it is too expensive to install a telephone now, and most telephone lines at this time do not run into people's homes. Unless it is a special job, or you really need to make calls too often, the unit will approve it and let the telephone company pull a telephone line into your home. Only then can a telephone be installed.
But Tian Tian and Gu Zhao are a teacher and an engineer respectively, so to be honest, there is no need to install a telephone.
Tian Tian had asked other people before, and found out that if she wanted to install it herself, it might cost more than 3,000 yuan. Even though Tian Tian was not short of money, she was still a little shocked by the price.
Her current monthly salary is only 37 yuan, and Gu Zhao's salary is a little higher, more than 70 yuan a month. Even if the two of them don't eat or drink, it will take a long time to save up the 3,000 yuan. At that time, Tian Tian immediately gave up the idea of installing a telephone.
With the three thousand yuan, she might as well buy a washing machine or a refrigerator. At least she can use it every day. Besides, a washing machine can free her hands and is much more useful than a phone.
Thinking about it carefully, in fact, not many people called her. Generally, those classmates who lived far away from her would write letters to her. The only people who called her were her family and Li Jiuniang. There was really no need to install a phone home for these two people.
Although she gave up the idea of pressing the phone, Tian Tian's desire to buy a pager became stronger and stronger.
Now even the emergence of mobile phones is still a long way off, let alone PHS. Page machines will still be used for a long time. The sooner you buy one, the sooner you can enjoy it. Although the price is a bit higher, it will be worth it if you can use it longer.
Tian Tian has been thinking about this matter since she got home. She doesn't know whether there are pagers nowadays, and she has never even heard the term pager in her daily life. But she remembers that when she watched those period dramas, there should have been pagers in the 1980s.
Tian Tian finally decided to test Gu Zhao. Gu Zhao is an engineer himself and should be more sensitive to these things.
So when Gu Zhao came back, Tian Tian said tentatively, "It's really inconvenient to answer the phone now. She can't answer when others call her. If there is nothing urgent, it's okay. But if there is something urgent, who knows how much time will be wasted."
Gu Zhao didn't think much about it. He took off his clothes and hung them on the hanger. He loosened his neck and said casually, "I heard that the nurses seem to have a machine that can tell you when someone calls. It seems to be called a pager."
Tian Tian's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she came over to massage Gu Zhao's shoulders eagerly, "That thing sounds very convenient, don't we have one here? It would be great if we could buy one to keep in touch with each other!"
Gu Zhao was enjoying Tian Tian's cooking skills and laughed when he heard it. "This thing is convenient, but we don't have it here yet!"
Tian Tian rolled her eyes and asked, "Why not? Is it because the thing is very big? So it is very inconvenient to transport it here?"
"It's not because of this. In fact, the thing is very small, only as big as the palm of your hand, and it's very convenient to carry around. But there is a problem with that thing. When someone calls you, you need a device to receive the signal and send the message to your pager. The point is not that the pager is difficult to make, but that the device is difficult to make. If we don't have that device, you can't use it even if you buy a pager!"
