Mu Yunxi didn't have to wait long before it was her turn.
She applied to the post office staff, reported her home phone number and the address of the number she called.
At the staff's reminder, I paid the call deposit in advance.
There is a special telephone partition room at the post office.
The small partition rooms have numbers on the doors, with 1, 2, 3 and other numbers written on them.
The space inside the partition room is extremely small and can only accommodate one person.
After Mu Yunxi paid the deposit for the call, she stood in the partition room and waited quietly.
Wait for the post office staff to "crank the handle" to call the post office switchboard.
Then wait for the operator on the switchboard to answer the call and then transfer it.
This time is exactly lunch time.
If I call home, Dad and Mom should be at home.
When the post office staff learned that the phone number Mu Yunxi wanted to dial was the staff quarters of the Changming No. 1 Steel Plant in the capital of Shanghai Province... they looked at her in surprise.
You know, in that era, it was extremely rare to have a telephone at home.
Because under normal circumstances, only units can afford such expensive and scarce communication equipment.
Due to the extremely short supply of telephones, ordinary families basically had no chance to install such a luxury item.
Even if someone spends a huge amount of money to apply for installation...it often cannot pass the strict approval process.
And something so rare...
The girl in front of you has it at home!
Seeing how casually she said her phone number, there was no doubt...
Her family background must not be simple.
Or, there is a senior leader in her family who works in the steel plant.
Or, they are senior officials holding important positions in government departments.
Otherwise, if it were an ordinary working-class family, even if the whole family was made up of workers...
I can't install a phone either.
Unable to enjoy the convenience brought by the telephone.
Thinking of this...the tone of the post office staff when speaking to Mu Yunxi unconsciously softened a bit.
I secretly wondered what kind of family Mu Yunxi came from.
I have to say,
In fact, the post office staff guessed it almost exactly.
The reason why Mu Yunxi's home was able to install a telephone.
It’s because Mu Yunxi’s father, Mu Zhengnan, is the director of Changming No. 1 Steel Plant.
To make it easier for others to contact him.
It is also to ensure that any emergency situations that may occur in the steel plant can be dealt with promptly and effectively.
The higher-ups decided to install this telephone in Mu Zhengnan's home.
Mu Yunxi waited patiently for a long time.
The call was finally connected.
Mu Yunxi took the telephone receiver handed to her by the post office staff. Before she even put it close to her ear, she heard Mu Zhengnan's energetic voice coming from the other end of the phone.
: "Hello? I'm Mu Zhengnan, who is this?"
Mu Yunxi: "Dad, it's me."
Although the phone quality was poor at this time...
But Mu Zhengnan recognized the voice of his beloved daughter the moment Mu Yunxi opened her mouth.
Mu Zhengnan's face was full of smiles, and that joyful voice seemed to flow all the way along the telephone line into Mu Yunxi's ears.
: "Xixi..."
Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by a sudden voice.
-----------That was Li Nianyue's voice, full of joy and anxiety.
"Is it our daughter calling? Give me the phone quickly so I can talk to her first."
Before he finished speaking, Li Nianyue, who was sitting next to him, couldn't wait to reach out her hand.
He snatched the receiver from Mu Zhengnan's hand with lightning speed.
"Xixi...I'm your mother. Are you doing well over there? Do you miss us?"
Li Nianyue's tone was both excited and cheerful, with a slight rise at the end of the voice.
This made Mu Yunxi, who was on the other end of the phone, feel warm in her heart.
Although the two were far apart at this time, they were only connected by this thin telephone line.
She could clearly feel Mu's mother's mood at the moment.
I could even picture Mu's mother's ecstatic look in my mind.
