Seeing that Yun Mo finished the call so quickly, Zeng Fang casually said with concern: "Mo Mo, it's rare for you to call home, why don't you talk for a while? I usually talk to my brother on the phone for half an hour, and I still feel like I can't finish talking."
Yun Mo sighed, "I would like to chat for a while, but my mother doesn't want to let me go. She thinks the phone bill is too expensive."
Zeng Fang thought about it and said, "How about this, you can come to my house and play with me next time. You can play with me for as long as you want."
The reason why making phone calls is expensive in this era is mainly because of the difficulty and high cost of installation. In fact, the monthly rental fee for a landline phone is quite cheap, only 4 or 5 yuan a month.
Yun Mo went to the telecommunications bureau for consultation and learned that it would cost more than two thousand yuan to install a landline phone at home. Not only that, after paying the money, she still had to wait in line, and it would take at least one or two years for it to be actually installed.
Although Zeng Fang had good intentions, Yun Mo still politely declined her kindness.
It's okay to go to Zeng's house occasionally to make a phone call, but she can't go there often. Even if she gives money, it wouldn't be nice, after all, they don't open a door for business.

Yun Mo asked Huang Zhiqiu and found out that the two cats she raised, Dabai and Erbai, are still in their infancy.
Under normal circumstances, geese will start laying eggs in the sixth month of their life. Counting the days, there is still more than a month left.
Geese usually lay eggs at night. In order to help them develop good and regular egg-laying habits, it is necessary to make a nest for them using straw or something like that.
Yun Mo found a carpenter to build a wooden house of about three or four square meters beside the small pond. The interior of the house was covered with a thick layer of straw, and a one-meter-wide circular sand pit was built outside.
I don't know if it's because they drank too much spiritual spring water, but Dabai and Erbai are becoming more and more spiritual. When Yun Mo pointed at the sand pit and told them to go there when they poop in the future, the two big geese actually ran into the sand pit and squatted there obediently to express to Yun Mo that they understood, which made Yun Mo very happy.
In order to ensure that the two geese have enough exercise, Yun Mo will take the two geese out for a walk when she has nothing to do in the morning and evening, and sometimes she will take them to the vegetable market to buy vegetables.
At first, the vendors in the vegetable market were very curious about the combination of one person and two geese, and would greet them every time they saw them.
And every time someone greeted them, the two big geese would stretch their necks and cackle at each other, causing the vendors to marvel at them and joke that the two geese raised by Yun Mo might have become spirits.
Yun Mo always smiled without saying anything.
She couldn't say whether they were spirits or not, but these two guys had drunk a lot of her spiritual spring water.
What made Yun Mo laugh and cry the most was that the two guys were now being picky and refused to drink ordinary well water, only drinking spiritual spring water.
After breakfast in the morning, Yun Mo took the two geese to a nearby jewelry shop.
Today is Jiang Yu's birthday. She came here a few days ago to order a plain gold bracelet, intending to give it to her as a birthday present.
The gold bracelet weighs 40 grams and the craftsmanship is very simple. The total price is about 900 yuan.
In addition to the gold bracelets, Yun Mo also customized two matchbox-sized silver nameplates for Dabai and Erbai. The silver plates not only have Dabai and Erbai's names, dates of birth, but also home addresses to prevent the two geese from getting lost.
After returning home, Yun Mo found two red ribbons and tied the nameplates around the necks of the two geese.
After fastening the nameplates, Yun Mo patted the two geese's heads affectionately and said, "I'm going out today. You stay at home and guard the house. If any bad guys come to our house, you have to peck them hard with your big beaks. Do you understand?"
“Ga ga ga!”
Got it! Yun Mo went to Zeng's house first.
Jiang Yu's birthday party was held in a grand manner. Almost all the prominent families in Jiang City received invitations, and the Zeng family was of course no exception.
Although Li Zhijie has been brought to justice, Zeng Fang has not yet completely gotten rid of the shadow of the assault. Today's banquet will be a crucial step for Zeng Fang to overcome her psychological barriers.
As long as she can successfully pass this hurdle today, Zeng Fang will be able to truly overcome this obstacle.
"Momo, you came at the right time. I didn't know what to wear."
As soon as Yun Mo entered the Zeng family's gate, Zeng Fang pulled her to a room on the second floor.
In her previous life, she was also a serious wealthy lady. The area of her cloakroom alone was larger than the entire second floor of the Zeng family, and she had countless high-end and limited edition dresses.
However, she rarely worries about what to wear. She always takes her stylist home and lets him tailor an image for her.
It’s strange that girls often worry about what to wear for themselves, but they are very quick and easy to choose for their friends.
After asking Zeng Fang about her expected effects and requirements, Yun Mo chose a black slim dress with a small V-neck for her.
Zeng Fang has always been troubled by her big breasts. After that incident, she became even more sensitive and was very unwilling to attract attention for her figure, especially from the opposite sex.
The black color is low-key and slimming, and the V-neck has a bow tie, which is sweet and beautiful, and can just cover Zeng Fang's overly plump breasts.
After matching the clothes, Yun Mo helped Zeng Fang put on the "boiled water" makeup which was very popular in later generations.
The key to plain water makeup is to keep it simple. The base should be white, the makeup should be transparent, and the color elements should be light.
It looks the same with or without makeup, but the person becomes more beautiful.
After putting on makeup, Zeng Fang looked at herself in the mirror and liked herself very much, "Momo, your makeup skills are so amazing. If you don't look carefully, you can't tell that you have put on makeup."
Yun Mo was also quite satisfied with her makeup skills. "Just tell me if it looks good or not."
Zeng Fang kept nodding her head, "It looks great! I really like this boiled water makeup you mentioned. Can you teach me when you have time?"
"I don't teach my disciples casually."
“I’ll pay the tuition.”
"Then I'll think about it."
After chatting for a while, Yun Mo looked at the clock on the wall and said, "Let's go."
Zeng Fang said while looking in the mirror: "Don't worry, you haven't put on makeup yet, Momo, you should also put on some beautiful makeup for yourself, just like me."
"No."
"Why?"
Yun Mo rubbed her face narcissistically, "It's hard to give up natural beauty. This fairy has to leave a way for you mortals to survive."
Zeng Fang: "...Thank you."
"You're welcome."
On the way there, Zeng Fang looked at the bag in Yun Mo's hand curiously, "By the way, Mo Mo, you're not really going to give that gold bracelet you gave me last time as a birthday gift to your adoptive mother, are you?"
Yun Mo handed the box from the bag to the other person, "Take a look for yourself."
Seeing the bracelet in the box, Zeng Fang breathed a sigh of relief, and then said, "This isn't cheap, is it?"
"Well, it cost me 900 dollars."
Zeng Fang hissed softly as if she had a toothache, "You're willing to do that? I think you're still a student, there's no need to give me something too expensive, and no one else will say anything."
Yun Mo smiled mysteriously, "You'll know then."
