"Hey Tian Tian! Where is the phone near your home? I want to make a call." Chen Guihua said.
When Tian Tian heard this, she slapped her thigh fiercely, "Oh my god! I forgot! I forgot to call my dad and let them know I'm safe!"
"I called when you were sleeping, don't worry!" Gu Zhao said, sticking his head out from the kitchen.
"That's good!" Tian Tian was relieved, and then she answered Chen Guihua's question, "There is a phone downstairs in our house, it belongs to an aunt."
Before, Tian Tian always thought that the phone was given to them by the person they met to make it convenient for them to make calls, but she didn't expect that the phone was actually from the aunt who was watching the phone downstairs.
It was a phone installed by their aunt's family. It was originally intended for their family to use, but later they found that the cost of installing a phone was too expensive, so the aunt simply came up with the idea of renting out the phone.
The price for making a phone call was exactly the same as the price for making a phone call at the post office, so he could earn at least one dollar a day. In the past few years, she has earned back the money she spent on installing the phone.
What impressed Tian Tian was that the aunt had specially opened a window on the wall near the corridor in order to install a telephone. If you want to make a call, just knock on the window, and the aunt will come over when she hears it. It feels like an old-fashioned store with a hole in the wall for people to choose things.
"Can I still call at this time?" Chen Guihua asked. It was already seven o'clock, and it was getting dark outside.
Their brigade’s phone is not allowed to be called after 5 o’clock in the evening, so Chen Guihua was worried about this call, which was not allowed at this time.
"Sure, if you want to make a phone call, I'll take you downstairs." Tian Tian said.
Chen Guihua shook her head. "No need. I can make the call myself."
After saying that, Chen Guihua put on her coat, opened the door, carefully identified their door, and then went downstairs to make a phone call.
Not long after, Chen Guihua came back. Tian Tian sat on the sofa and looked at Chen Guihua curiously. "Who are you calling? Second Aunt?"
"Call Zhu Xiumei. Didn't I say before that I was staying at her house, so I called her and told her to pick me up tomorrow. By the way, she must know your home address. She told me that she knew it." Tian Tian nodded affirmatively. Zhu Xiumei had been to their house several times and remembered their address.
"Why don't you stay here for a few more days? I want you to stay at my house for a few more days."
"No!" Chen Guihua was very decisive. "I'm not here to visit relatives, I'm here to go to the dressing room, why should I stay here for a few more days? I'll have to leave sooner or later anyway."
Tian Tian knew Chen Guihua was determined to leave after hearing her expression. She didn't say much, but told Chen Guihua to come to their house when she was free, and that her mother-in-law would hold a full-month banquet for An An, and asked Chen Guihua to come over when the time came.
After hearing this, Chen Guihua agreed immediately. After all, she was the only member of Tian Tian's family in the provincial capital. Since An An was going to hold a full-month ceremony, she would definitely go there to support Tian Tian.
After Chen Guihua agreed, she collapsed on the sofa and watched TV like Tian Tian. The last time she came to Tian Tian's house was when Tian Tian got married.
There was nothing in the room except simple furniture. But I didn't expect that after more than a year since I last came, there was a TV, a washing machine and a refrigerator in the room.
Chen Guihua naturally knew how expensive these electrical appliances were, and she was also very surprised that Tian Tian could afford all three of them. You know, their brigade didn't even have a TV yet. The radio in Old Lady Tian's house was already liked and yearned for by many people. As long as Old Lady Tian turned on the radio, the news spread so quickly, and people from all over the place ran to Old Lady Tian's house to listen to the radio.
And because Chen Guihua was Mrs. Tian's daughter-in-law, she was able to enter the house and listen to the music with Mrs. Tian, and she even had the right to order some songs from time to time.
Chen Guihua thought this was already very good. As for the television that other people had talked about, she had no such idea at all.
Unexpectedly, she saw it at Tian Tian's house. She was watching the TV with great interest, hardly blinking her eyes. When it was late at night, Tian Tian felt like going back to bed, but Chen Guihua was still reluctant to leave.
Seeing Chen Guihua like this, Tian Tian simply taught Chen Guihua how to use the TV. Then after Chen Guihua finished watching, she could turn off the TV herself.
Tian Tian went into the room and lay on the bed. Gu Zhao lay beside Tian Tian and leaned over to touch An An in the cradle. They rarely put An An to sleep between them.
Tian Tian always felt it was too dangerous. She slept very soundly at night and was worried that she would turn over and crush An An.
So the two of them reached a consensus not to put the child between them.
Whoever takes care of the child at night will sleep next to the child's cradle. These past few nights, Gu Zhao was the one who took care of the child, so he slept there.
"It's okay. I've already taught Second Aunt how to use the TV. When she's done watching, she'll turn it off and go back to sleep."
"I'm not worried about that. I'm worried that Second Aunt will watch TV all night and won't have energy tomorrow morning."
When Tian Tian watched TV for the first time, she also watched it very late at night. When she woke up the next morning, she felt very depressed.
"No, don't worry. There are no channels on TV after midnight, and it's all just static. How could she watch it all night? As for staying up all night, it's fine. She doesn't watch it every day."
After hearing this, Gu Zhao didn't say anything. He reached out and patted An An to sleep, then he lay back on the bed and held Tian Tian in his arms, sighing with contentment in his heart.
"You two are finally back. These past few days, whenever I got home, I felt like the house was empty, as if something was missing. Now that you two are back, I finally feel at ease."
Tian Tian yawned again. Although she had slept for a whole day, it was now their usual bedtime. It was even later than when Tian Tian was at Tian's house.
"This time I can stay at home until the end of next semester, but you didn't go to your house. Didn't I tell you that when An An and I are not at home, you should go back to your house."
